Chapter 68: Children Make Choices
Cao Chao's appearance in the prison this time was not improvised, Liu Lu sent someone to keep an eye on Yang Zong very early.
They have been staring at him for a while, and after learning that Yang Zong was arrested again, Cao Chao finally appeared and began to take the initiative to recruit him.
Cao Chao is not a celebrity fetish, and likes to collect capable ministers.
However, in an era where the quality of officials is all about governing places, talent is really, very, very important.
If a state can get a powerful thorn history, it may take off all over the state, just like Wang Ji, who served as the thorn history of Jingzhou, Deng Ai of Yanzhou Thorn History, and Zhou Tai of Yuzhou Thorn History.
These people obviously have a super performance, Wang Ji will Jing Xiangzhi fly, Deng Ai in Yanzhou dismissed many incompetent officials, promoted outstanding talents, reclaimed the people, and the same is true of Zhoutai.
And if a county or a county can be governed by outstanding talents, it will be ten times more powerful for the local area!
Being an emperor can know nothing, but it is necessary to be proficient in finding and employing talents.
Cao Chao led Zhang Hua out of here.
Cao Chao secretly looked at the situation outside, and Cao Chao was still very happy to see everything that happened to Yang Zong.
"Luoyang has become different."
"Sooner or later, it will be like this all over the world."
Zhang Hua firmly believes in this.
Just when Cao Chao had just returned to the front of the palace, he saw that the armor soldiers were blocking a person, who was very anxious and was talking loudly.
Seeing this person, Cao Chao jumped out of the carriage directly and walked forward quickly.
The person who is blocked here is none other than Na Ma Jun.
Seeing the emperor who suddenly appeared, both the soldiers and Ma Jun were startled and hurriedly bowed.
Cao Chao hurriedly helped up the master in front of him.
To say that the national strength of Wei is growing so rapidly now, Mr. Ma in front of him must have a certain credit.
Not to mention the many original agricultural inventions, Mr. Ma's greatest achievement is to help improve the smelting technology, which has raised the smelting technology of the Wei State to a higher level.
The invention of agricultural tools has limitations, take the Quyuan plow as an example, this thing is suitable for Huainan and other regions, but once it reaches the north, the effect and effect are not so big, and the waterwheel overturning is similar, and the effect can be played in different places.
But this smelting technology is different, it is the basic of all steel, whether it is weapons or agricultural tools, it can be used.
This level of improvement can have a huge impact on the productivity of the whole country.
Since Ma Jun improved the smelting technology according to Cao Chao's requirements, Du Pre set up large-scale smelters in various places and began to focus on ironmaking.
Cao Chao simply fell in love with this great inventor.
On top of that, this guy is a pure tech nerd.
He doesn't like gangs and drinks, and his biggest hobby is playing with iron and wood!
Where do you go to get such talents?
Cao Chao hurriedly helped him up, and then looked at the soldiers on the side with displeasure.
The armor saw the emperor's displeasure and hurriedly pleaded guilty.
Ma Jun said: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, don't blame, don't blame"
Ma Jun was also very annoyed at the moment, he was so nervous that his stuttering became more and more serious, and he couldn't speak at all.
Cao Chao saw his embarrassment, so he didn't get angry with the armor soldiers, but just smiled and pulled him into his carriage, and then entered the palace.
"Ma Gong, don't worry, Du Shangshu is still busy arranging things in Shudi, he may be a little busy, no matter what happens, just talk to me."
Cao Chao comforted him and drove into the palace.
Then he took his hand and walked down, pulled him around the palace, and introduced him to the situation in the Taiji Hall as he walked.
Just walking, Ma Jun finally calmed down.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the minister came to see you today, I wanted to find Du Shangshu, but I couldn't find him, because the matter is very urgent, just, just, just"
Cao Chao nodded and asked with a smile, "What is that going on?" ”
Ma Jun opened his mouth and said: "Your Majesty, there are two people in the Shu State, the ministers, and the ministers are willing to beg, beg, and intercede for them." ”
Cao Chao was stunned for a moment, but he was not surprised.
The Fufeng Ma clan is an extremely large family, just like the Zhuge family, all over the place, and it is normal for the Shu State to have people or relatives from their clan.
Cao Chao asked again, "Which two people are they?" ”
"Pu Yuan, Li, Li, Li Wei."
Ma Jun said two names.
Cao Chao was stunned for a moment.
Ma Jun explained: "Li Wei was born in the Shuzhong clan, Zitong Li, his father Li Ren, is a famous scholar in Shuzhong, once with Yin Mo as friends, followed Sima Hui, Song Zhong and others to learn, their family skills, arithmetic, divination, medicine, bows, crossbows, mechanical ingenuity!" ”
"They have many classics in their family, the Five Classics, the Princes, and all the learnings, but this person is good at skills and does not like the classics, so he is not taken seriously."
"Pu Yuan is a famous craftsman in Shu, and his ability to make knives is very high, and he is proficient in the method of ironmaking."
Cao Chao immediately knew who the two people Ma Jun was talking about.
During the Three Kingdoms period, there were many inventors in various countries, and there were two people in Shu, it is said that the Zhuge crossbow was originally designed by the Li family, and Pu Yuan was a skilled craftsman who made knives for Zhuge Liang.
Cao Chao suddenly slapped his forehead.
How did you forget these two people?
He hurriedly looked at Zhang Hua on the side.
Zhang Hua already understood, and he hurriedly said: "Chen, go find these two people now!" ”
"Let no one embarrass them! Bring them over as soon as possible! ”
Cao Chao issued an edict.
When Zhang Hua left in a hurry, Cao Chao took Ma Jun's hand again, his eyes were full of appreciation.
is worthy of being the master of my family, if it weren't for Ma Jun to talk about it, Cao Chao would have forgotten that there are still two talents in Shu!
Li Wei's family has passed on various mechanical inventions, and Pu Yuan's smelting technology is also very powerful, if these two people can be helpers by Ma Jun's side, it will be a great improvement in all aspects!
"If it weren't for Ma Gong, I would have almost missed the two great sages!"
Ma Jun was a little embarrassed, he shook his head, "Don't dare to be." ”
"Don't worry, Ma Gong, once you have their whereabouts, they will definitely be brought to you!"
Cao Chao asked about his recent research directions.
Speaking of his major, Ma Jun stopped stammering, and spoke very excitedly and fluently.
Ma Jun is more excited and stammering, while Deng Ai seems to be more excited and less stammering
If these two people meet, they won't fight, right?
At this moment, Zhang Hua began a comprehensive search.
Li Xun is very easy to find, this person served as the right middle general in Shu, and was the first batch of ministers who followed Liu Chan to the temple, and now he is in Luoyang.
When Zhang Hua came to the door, this person was very afraid.
He was not young anymore, he had a long beard, but he was not very tall.
After he was moved to Luoyang, he has remained invisible, his official position is not too high, not too low, he has no political achievements, but he holds an official position because of his background, and it is not easy to be an official like Dong Ju and others.
He was ready to stay in Luoyang to retire, but the door suddenly became noisy, and then a young man led a large group of armor soldiers to rush in.
Seeing this posture, Li Wei was so frightened that his beard trembled.
"You are Li Wei?"
"Exactly, exactly, I don't know what the prince commands?"
Zhang Hua hurriedly smiled and helped him up, "Gong Li, don't be afraid, someone recommended you in front of Your Majesty, Your Majesty asked me to invite you to the Taiji Palace!" ”
Li Wei's eyes widened and he looked at Zhang Hua blankly.
Someone recommending?
I have a bad reputation in Shu, and they all say that I am a plaything and lose my mind, and I don't have any relatives in this Wei country, who will recommend me?
But he had come to this point, and he didn't feel that the Wei people had the need to deceive themselves, so he thanked the young man in front of him again and again, then changed his clothes, and hurried to the palace.
Cao Chao didn't expect Zhang Hua to be so fast, he was even chatting with Ma Jun, and Zhang Hua sent Li Yu in.
This person is quite cowardly, but Ma Jun is very happy, as soon as the two met, Li Wei couldn't say a few more words to Cao Chao, and Ma Jun had already pulled him to exchange the experience of the craftsman.
Li Wei, who was still cowardly just now, talked about all kinds of machinery, his eyes were shining, and he chatted very happily with Ma Jun.
Cao Chao is not surprised at all, the two big families, no matter how they are involved, they can have something to do with each other.
Seeing that the two craftsmen directly hung themselves aside, Cao Chao was not angry, but just watched them talk with a smile.
Zhang Hua began to search for the whereabouts of the craftsman at this moment.
Compared with Li Wei, who served as an official, Pu Yuan was more difficult to find.
Zhang Hua had no choice but to find those Shu officials who knew him and began to entrust them to help find him.
At this time, Yang Zong finally got out of prison.
His crime was not big, and in fact it was not a disturbance, and the two sides did not take action, nor did they cause any economic losses.
Therefore, he was only imprisoned for three days as a warning.
Yang Zong walked out of the gloomy cell and couldn't help but reach out to block the dazzling light.
A magistrate stood before him, and this man was the master of the prison.
"Yang Gong"
"Your Majesty has an edict."
The man carried a jug of wine in his left hand.
"Here's the sage wine you want to buy that day."
The official's right hand is holding a cloth bag, "This is the seal ribbon of the palace horseman." ”
"Your Majesty, please choose."
Yang Zong looked at his two hands, stepped forward, and snatched the wine jug from the official's left hand.
He hung the flask on his belt, and when the official was stunned, he reached out and took the bag.
"The offspring who was locked up next door to me was wronged, you can check if someone forced him to take the blame"
As Yang Zong spoke, he opened the cloth bag, took out the ribbon and other things in it, and looked at the little official in front of him again.
"Find out as soon as possible!"
"Weiwei?"
ps: It's been a few days since I broke up, my back hurts, I can't sit still, and I'll take a day off, and I'll make up for it later.
