Many county government soldiers who were too late to stop them did not dare to face the furious Ma Jun. Ma Jun usually had a very gentle attitude, that is, when he was doing those weird things, he could not be disturbed, otherwise
, they will have seen the most irritable side of the county magistrate. You see, the magistrate was so angry that he no longer stuttered!
However, when Ma Jun recognized the person in front of him, he immediately became restrained and said hesitantly: "Bye...Bye, meet Master,"
Wen Renxi frowned, stepped forward to push him away, and walked in. Ma Jun followed him and walked in together. The others stayed outside knowingly and did not go in. When Wen Renxi left,
When he entered the interior, he saw the big stove in the house, as well as some strange tools around it, as well as some dark graphite. He knew this so-called graphite. Graphite is a strange stone.
It can be used for burning, but its effect is not as great as that of wood blocks.
This so-called graphite is coal, also known as coal.
Wen Renxi really couldn't understand why his incompetent disciple, who was not a good county magistrate, insisted on playing with some graphite here. He kicked away a few pieces of graphite at his feet and said angrily: "
I won't hesitate to fight with Wang Fu's fellow to ensure that you pass the test, and this is how you repay me?"
"Master... Master, that's not the case. It's just that here... it's... very cold in winter. I see... I see... I see... many people in Liangzhou use graphite to keep warm, and in Luo...
Yang, this thing is still a fine workmanship used by scholars to carve it. I think,,, can...can do something practical for the people of Liangzhou. If I...I...I can make this thing more valuable.
If it is good for resisting the cold, wouldn't it be a good thing for the people of the world?" Ma Jun quickly defended.
"No matter how beneficial this matter is to the people, before that, do you still have to abide by your duties as the county magistrate?"
"You have abandoned the people here and are only busy with your own trivial matters. How can you live up to the emperor's love?"
Wen Renxi indeed had great expectations for this disciple. He hoped that this smart disciple could succeed him in the future. Fortunately, after he left the temple, there would be someone who could help the emperor manage the treasury. However, Ruoma Jun was always like this
, how can he obtain political achievements? How can he be promoted? Nowadays, it is not the past, as long as he has passed the qualifications peacefully. Now he must make some political achievements to be favored by Wang Fu.
"Master, if I can succeed, this graphite will be necessary for the entire northern Han Dynasty, and I am the only one who knows how to make it. Then... if I submit the production method to the temple, wouldn't it be possible for the national treasury to..."
As Ma Jun gets older, he stutters less and less. When talking about his scientific research, he rarely stutters. He explains his methods one by one. Wen Renxi knows nothing about it.
However, after hearing about his huge profits, I patiently listened.
"Oh... that's okay, that's okay!" Hearing this, he just shook his head helplessly and walked out.
"Master, where are you going?"
"I still have something important to do and need to go to Liangzhou, so you can continue to do your thing. Remember, I will never favor you because you are my disciple. What you do here,
If you are impeached by Wang Fu, I will not help you!" Wen Renxi said coldly. After saying that, he left directly with his entourage. Ma Jun lowered his head and remained silent.
After leaving Fufeng, he rushed to the Liangzhou Administrative Office after hearing the attack. Unfortunately, Zheng Xuan was not here. Since Wang Fu left, he also contracted Wang Fu's bad habits and never stayed at the Administrative Office on weekdays.
After patrolling around Liangzhou, Liangzhou officials were distraught. After hearing the attack, they searched for three days before they found Zheng Xuan. At this time, Zheng Xuan was actually wearing farmer's clothes and participating in the autumn harvest in the cultivated land.
Seeing this, he did not blame Zheng Xuan and went to the plowing fields together. While working, he talked to Zheng Xuan.
"I came here this time to do business with other countries. I'm not very familiar with the area outside the Great Wall. I still need Duke Zheng's help..."
"After the Western Region, we reach Kushan. If the Han Dynasty wants to send out merchants, they need to communicate with Kushan and let them look after the merchants before they can reach Anxi..."
"Guishuang... the prince told me and introduced it to all the officials. He also talked about tea..."
"Not only tea, silk, ceramics, and paper, they are also the most loved commodities by foreign businessmen. If there is trade, these items may be indispensable..."
"Well... I still need Duke Zheng's help for these matters. I have to go to Yizhou to discuss the sale of tea with the big local merchants..."
Zheng Xuan stood up, wiped the sweat from his forehead, nodded with a smile, and said: "They say Mr. Wen is as rich as anyone in the country. His home is filled with mountains of gold and silver, but he knows how to do farming...", Wen Renxi
Hearing this, he burst into laughter and said: "I have been poor since I was a child and have never had a full meal... Not to mention farming, I know all about craftsmanship and stealing skills..."
Hearing Wen Renxi's somewhat self-deprecating words, Zheng Xuan felt a sense of sadness from them. He didn't say much, nodded and said: "I am the same. If I hadn't been helped by my neighbors when I was young, I'm afraid I wouldn't be as good as I am these days.
Achievement..."
"Well... after helping you harvest this acre, I'm going to Yizhou. Regarding the route and the escort, I'd better trouble you..." Wen Renxi said, then he lowered his head and started busy again.
"Master Wen Ren, it is not difficult to escort people outside the Western Regions. However, I heard that Guishan is also a big country with a territory of thousands of miles and hundreds of thousands of soldiers. If it does not allow trade, it will not accept Han merchants and even detain them.
Intercept and kill, what should I do?"
Wen Renxi laughed and said, "If he doesn't trade with the Han Dynasty, then use a sword to cut open the gate of his country!"
After Wen Renxi left, Zheng Xuan quickly returned to the headquarters. He first called in the garrison captain who had been stationed outside Liangzhou all year round to ask questions about the route. Outside Liangzhou, there were still some Qiang people and bandits.
Only by passing through some areas where Han soldiers are stationed can we safely reach the Western Regions. After arriving in the Western Regions, the 10,000 soldiers stationed in the Western Regions can be divided into escorts and sent to the surrounding areas of Kushan. The rest of the escort matters,
It can be entrusted to the Kushan Kingdom.
As for Guishan, Zheng Xuan still needs to send envoys to discuss important matters related to trade between the two countries. Of course, he also needs to report to the imperial commander Zhang Taiwei to make plans to send troops. As a great scholar, Zheng Xuan should not be so warlike.
However, after staying in Liangzhou for a long time, he seemed to be a little bit infected with Liangzhou's warlike style. What's more, he had personally experienced the Xianbei War. Over the years, he became more and more like a Xiliang warrior.
