A craftsman, in this era, is only slightly better than a businessman, but his life is far inferior to that of a businessman, and even a businessman looks down upon him.

At this time, Pu Yuan was respected by the prefect Tao Ying, and there was a hint of respect in his questions. Pu Yuan was naturally frightened and inexplicable.

"What?"

"Are you Pu Yuan?"

Tao Ying, who was suddenly stunned, grabbed Pu Yuan's hand, guarding against the fish slipping from his hand, and stared at him expectantly.

"You, the Pu family, have been great craftsmen for generations and were born in Mo clan. Why did you become a yellow turban bandit?"

Not to mention that Pu Yuan was startled, even Yan Liang and Yin Li were confused by Tao Ying's surprise.

"Last month, I followed several craftsmen to Peixian County. I happened to catch up with the Yellow Turban bandit Zhang Kai and was trapped in it, unable to escape. In Nancheng County, Zhang Kai was taken care of by the governor, and I was among them at that time."<

/p>

"Later, the villain and a group of craftsmen were taken to Mou County."

Pu Yuan calmed down when he saw that there was no trace of malice in Tao Ying's eyes except surprise.

"Creation is so magical!"

Tao Ying had a look of surprise on his face when he learned the whole story. Pu Yuanding was brought to Mou County by the housekeeper Tao An.

"I didn't expect that among this group of craftsmen, there is actually a great god like Pu Yuan hidden. If I hadn't asked one more question today, wouldn't it be that Pu Yuan passed by me in my life?"

Tao Ying would never think that because he did not discover Pu Yuan, a great talent like Pu Yuan has been buried forever.

A great master like Pu Yuan will never be buried anywhere.

What Tao Ying is worried about is that he did not discover Pu Yuan in time, resulting in the loss of Pu Yuan.

"Isn't it easier for Liu Da'er?"

Historically, Pu Yuan followed Liu Bei.

Pu Yuan made 3,000 knives for Zhuge Liang in Xiegu. The knives he made could split bamboo tubes filled with iron beads and were hailed as magic knives.

It can be seen from this that Pu Yuan’s main secret in making knives lies in mastering the exquisite quenching technology of steel knives.

"Master Pu, do you have any words?"

Pu Yuan was very surprised. He didn't expect that he, an unknown craftsman, could be well known by the governor of a state and a county governor. It was incredible.

"For a craftsman like Xiaoren, no one has a word, and no one dares to have a word."

Tao Ying patted Pu Yuan on the shoulder, turned around and thought about it, and suddenly his eyes lit up.

"If Master Pu doesn't mind, let me give you one, right?"

Regardless of whether Pu Yuantong agreed or not, Tao Ying killed him first and then played.

"It's called 'Gongshu', Puyuan, the word is Gongshu."

Pu Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then he was shocked. He knelt on his knees and refused again and again.

"I don't dare to use this word. I really don't deserve it. It will tarnish the dignity of our ancestors."

Pu Yuan had no doubt at all whether Tao Ying was qualified to choose a name for him.

But the words chosen by Tao Ying made Pu Yuan unbearable.

"Gongshu Ban is the founder of Momen, and he is also the ancestor respected by craftsmen all over the world. Master Pu is highly skilled. He uses the surname of the ancestor as his name, which is intended to commemorate and inherit, rather than claiming to be the ancestor."

Tao Ying pulled Pu Yuan up and explained his intention of choosing this word with a serious look on his face.

"Confucius said: 'When three people are walking together, there must be my teacher.' Therefore, the disciple does not have to be inferior to the teacher, and the teacher does not have to be better than the disciple. Master Pu must not belittle oneself, otherwise, it will bring shame on the founder's face!"

Pu Yuan opened his mouth, thinking about Tao Ying's words, but he had no way to refute.

"Pu Yuan, we must carry forward Momen!"

No longer entangled, Pu Yuan's eyes suddenly showed determination, and his heart secretly encouraged him.

"Pu Yuan, meet my lord!"

Pu Yuan knelt down and saluted Tao Ying.

"One dandelion lost is worth a hundred thousand soldiers!"

Tao Ying was overjoyed and hurriedly helped Pu Yuan up with both hands.

"There seems to be another Ma Jun!"

Seeing Pu Yuan, Tao Ying, who was looking forward to Shu, was instantly reminded and immediately thought of Ma Jun.

"Should we go to Fufeng County and trick the mechanical master Ma Jun, who is 'famous in the world', into his account?"

"Maybe, under my 'guidance', Ma Jun will come up with a high technology, and I won't have to worry about traveling around the world!"

The more Tao Ying thought about it, the more he felt itchy, and the more he thought about it, the more impatient he became.

"It is inevitable that there will be long nights and many dreams, so we must immediately send Tao An to Fufeng and invite Ma Jun!"

Tao Ying's passionate thoughts were just a flash of lightning, and he soon regained his composure.

"One dandelion lost is worth a hundred thousand soldiers?"

Naturally, Yan Liang and Yin Li did not dare to underestimate the craftsman who was known to Tao Ying and praised him so much, and congratulated him together.

"Congratulations, lord, for getting a great talent!"

"Congratulations! I have to meet my lord!"

Pu Yuan hurriedly returned the gift to Yan Liang and Yin Li.

"Pu Yuanshang needs to rely on the two generals to take care of him!"

Although he was valued by Tao Ying and was given a title, Pu Yuan did not dare to show off in front of the two of them because he did not have the capital to be on an equal footing with them.

"Today is a double blessing, so congratulatory!"

It was just time for dinner, and Tao Ying, who was overjoyed, immediately asked people to prepare wine and food for Pu Yuan.

Luoyang, General's Mansion.

In the past few days, He Jin was always frightened for no reason. For several days in a row, he refused to go to court because of illness. He stayed in the house, cooking wine and enjoying the snow alone with a fire plate.

He Jin's "illness" even alerted Emperor Ling, who sent the eunuch Pan Yin to pay his respects.

It snowed again in Luoyang today, the second snow this winter. He Jin was leaning against the fire plate and falling asleep, when he was suddenly awakened by a gentle knock on the door.

"Who?"

He Jin looked up and saw that the person coming was his younger brother, the chariot general He Miao.

"Shuda is here."

He Jin straightened his clothes, regained his energy, and called He Miao to come over and sit down before asking what he wanted.

"It's freezing cold. Why do you think you've come to my brother's house? Something's wrong?"

He Miao rubbed his hands and put them on the fire plate to bake to keep warm.

"Brother, Liu Yu went north today."

He Jin said softly "Hmm" and lowered his head to look at the fire plate.

"Presumably, the new troops have been recruited, and Meng Yi and Gongsun Zan should also go north."

He Jin slowly followed He Miao's words and muttered to himself, then stopped talking, waiting for He Miao's next words.

"Brother, do you think Tao Gongzu didn't take our He family seriously?"

Seeing that He Jin was not interested in Liu Yu's affairs, he pointed out his purpose.

"Huh?"

Hearing this, He Jin, who had his head lowered, suddenly raised his head. His originally sloppy eyes suddenly became colder, and he stared into He Miao's eyes without blinking.

"What does Shuda mean by this?"

He Jin's sudden cold look made He Miao shiver.

"Brother, we helped Tao Gongzu secure the position of Taishan prefect for his son Tao Ying, and we also saved 20 million yuan. It has been going on for many days, but he didn't even show any sign of it. Isn't this a bit unjustifiable?"

Although he despised the position of the Taishan Prefect, He Miao felt that he had helped, and Tao Qian should be grateful to He, especially for He Miao.

"At least half of the 20 million dollars saved belongs to me, He Miao!"

He thought it was something, but it turned out to be a matter of helping Tao Ying become the Taishan prefect. The cold look on He Jin's face slowly faded away, and was replaced by laziness.

"Shuda, I would like to advise you to take a long-term view and don't let small things make you lose big things."

If He Miao hadn't mentioned it, He Jin would have forgotten about Tao Ying. After all, it was just a simple task and not worth the trouble.

"Recently, the emperor has shown faint signs of distrust of the He family, and has begun to abolish the elders and establish the younger ones. If he continues to antagonize important ministers at this time, it will be very detrimental to the He family."

At the end of the sentence, He Jin's tone became slightly stern, with a hint of warning.

"Big Brother, don't worry. I'm just complaining to Big Brother in private."

He Miao understood the meaning of He Jin's words, and He Miao, who was a little flustered, hurriedly explained.

"Shuda Mo must be impatient. Today, Xuzhou and Taishan County are full of yellow turban bandits and bandits. In addition, Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju's rebellion are still lingering. The Tao family and his son must be in a state of distress and have no time to come to Luoyang."

He Jin's peripheral vision caught the change in He Miao's eyes, and knowing that he was scared, his tone softened again.

"Besides, with Tao Qian's reputation as a 'benevolent gentleman', he will definitely not let others gossip."

He Miao understood what He Jin meant. If Tao Qian just let it go this time, no one would help him in the future.

"No wonder the eldest brother can become a general and be relied upon by the emperor, but the younger brother is not as good as the eldest brother!"

Unlike He Miao, who was overjoyed and showed no signs of being in the city, He Jin, who had a calm expression on his face, was already having troubles in his heart.

"Tao Qian and his son are a little ignorant, so they need to beat them!"

At this moment, the butler's report suddenly came from outside the door.
