Ma Jun then presented the improved drawings of the rollover.
The emperor looked at the drawings in his hands with joy. Ma Jun wrote very carefully and had detailed records in every place. Although the emperor could not understand it, it did not prevent him from nodding thoughtfully and showing great joy. Ma Jun
Also explained:
"For this thing, the body is made of three plates assembled into a long trough, with a sprocket on each end of the trough. The keel blade is used as a chain, passing through the long trough. The body is tilted on the water's edge, and part of the lower sprocket and the long trough is immersed in the water.
The sprocket on the shore is the main wheel, the shaft of the main wheel is long, and there are four crutches at each end."
"A person leans on the frame, steps on the crutch, drives the upper sprocket, and the blade scrapes the water along the trough and rises, discharges the water to the end of the trough, and then returns to the water along the top of the long trough. This cycle continues to send water to the shore.
It is a ten-year-old boy who can use it to guide the water downstream."
Ma Jun explained very clearly, but the emperor only understood one sentence: "It can divert water, it is very convenient, and the construction will not cost too much. This made the emperor extremely happy. He grinned and said with a smile: "
Good, great good, this thing is a valuable weapon for the people, an important thing for farming and mulberry farming, Ma Jun has done a great job, it should be rewarded! It should be rewarded!!"
Hearing the emperor's words, Ma Jun shook his head and said, "I only slightly improved this thing, it was not made by me."
"oh?"
The emperor's eyes became a little hot, and he quickly asked: "Then who is this maker?"
Ma Jun lamented and said: "It was done by Bi Lan and Song Dian, who were ordered by Ye Ting."
"Um????"
"What did you say??"
The little fat man's eyes widened and he asked in disbelief, how could those two eunuchs do something so beneficial to the country and the people?
Ma Jun said helplessly: "Your Majesty, you don't know that Emperor Xiaokang is diligent and thrifty and loves the people, so he is unwilling to start building a lake with the palace. However, the roads in the palace are messy and dirty, and there is no lake water available, which will harm the face of the Tian family. Therefore, Bi Lan and Song Dian made the decision together."
This overturned car was used to collect water from the river to clean the road." Ma Jun slowly explained, "I have seen this thing before, and now I am just improving it."
The little fat man was silent for a long time, frowning and saying nothing. He turned his head and looked at Han Men beside him. His eyes seemed a little angry. Han Men immediately lowered his head with a look of shame on his face.
"It's a pity." The little fat man shook his head and said three words of pity, but he didn't say anything about it.
"Give this thing to Yuan Feng and let him promote it in the world. Be sure to let everyone know the use of this thing before next year to support farmers and mulberry trees." The little fat man said, Ma Jun nodded and asked:
"Your Majesty, I don't know what to name this thing? I hope your Majesty can give me a name."
The emperor grinned and said:
"It's called Xiping overturning"
"According to the order!"
The emperor encouraged Ma Jun a few more words and then asked Ma Jun to leave. Ma Jun had been busy improving the silk weaving machine recently, but he didn't have any good ideas. The emperor also hoped that he could create more such sharp weapons and be able to
To improve the national power of the Han Dynasty, after Yuan Feng got the blueprints, he was dubious about Ma Jun's words. Then he and Ma Jun watched the rollover of the first manufactured car and its effects, and Yuan Feng was overjoyed.
He could immediately see how useful this thing was for farming.
This thing can not only irrigate mulberry trees, but most importantly, it can also be used as a weapon to resist waterlogging. Of course, such an item must be promoted as soon as possible. Yuan Feng did not hesitate and immediately submitted this drawing to the governors in various places, asking them to use it.
Craftsmen make overturned carts. Officials have never had a good impression of these strange things, including the local governor.
However, Yuan Feng repeatedly explained in his letters that this thing was of great benefit to farmers and could resist waterlogging. This made the governors interested. After all, it could improve their political performance. Moreover, it was the order of the Three Lords, so they hurriedly built it.
, after the Han Dynasty built Chidao, it was obviously much faster to deliver orders to various places, and the number of postmen of the Han Dynasty was close to 200,000.
Except for the more remote border areas, all other areas began to use the Xiping rollover cart built by Ma Jun. However, its real builder, the officials did not bother to say it. After all, how could an eunuch be able to create such a useful weapon?
?After truly seeing the effect of overturning, these officials came to the table one after another to participate in Ma Junzhi's contribution.
The emperor also summoned him and wanted to give him a reward in front of all the officials, but Ma Jun refused. He believed that he was just an improvement. If the emperor wanted to reward him, he could reward the real makers, Bi Lan and Song Dian.
Although Song Dian died, Bi Lan is still in his hometown. However, the emperor did not agree and all the officials pretended not to hear about it.
When the incident spread to the world, the officials said: "In order to please the emperor, the eunuchs turned over the cart to wash the land, which cost the national treasury. Now Lord Ma has improved it and used it for the people. This shows the difference between the virtuous and the eunuchs."
Seeing the results of the overturn, the people were happy, and Ma Jun's reputation gradually spread. After hearing that he was Wen Renggong's disciple, the people of the world recognized him more deeply, and the ministers of the DPRK also came from time to time.
The emperor was silent when he talked about Wen Rengong. He really needed a great talent like Wen Rengong. The quick wit of Wen Rengong was unmatched by any official.
Whenever there is a need to spend a lot of money, Wen Renggong can always put forward the most perfect proposal. Sometimes, even the prince will be shocked by his proposal and even make friends with him.
It's a pity that I don't have such great talents under my command.
Subsequently, in accordance with the prince's last words, the temple began a strategy to exterminate locusts in the Sili area. Among the officials, many people still opposed it. They believed that locusts were transformed from fish and shrimp in the river. When there is a severe drought, there will be no locusts in the river.
Although water, fish and shrimp turn into locusts, they are much better than the ancestors' theory of the locust god, but they are also extremely stupid.
There was only one person in the court, Cai Yong, who supported the prince's last words. He believed that the locusts were nothing more than insects, transformed into fish and shrimps, and it was all nonsense. The officials did not listen to him and started arguing with him, resolutely
Thinking that locusts were transformed from fish and shrimps, Cai Yong was so angry that he took Dong Yijun from Taiwei's mansion and explained to these ministers what fish and shrimps were like!!
Sure enough, when Mr. Dong Hao started talking about Dong Hao's bearded fish and shrimp, these ministers gave in.
You are right, you have the final say!
Pull this guy down!
In the past few days, the officials thought of the fear that the old captain had brought to them in the past.
Cai Yong began to be busy in the Sili area. He raised a large number of chickens and ducks and informed the people of the method of using fire to drive away locusts. After Cai Yong's efforts, by August, there was no large-scale locust plague in Luoyang.
There were locusts coming out, but they were burned to death in large numbers by the local people and were eaten by chickens and ducks. The ministers just closed their mouths and lowered their heads.
In September, the emperor issued an order to expand the enrollment of Hongdu School.
On the basis of the Hongdu School established by Emperor Xiaokang, a "Gongshu" was added. The so-called "Gong" refers to talented people like Ma Jun. He invited Ma Jun to the Hongdu School.
Ma Jun was originally reluctant to come to Cui Shihaosheng to take care of him, but after the emperor informed him of the purpose, he suddenly realized that Hongdu School was built in the Jianning period.
Emperor Xiaokang gathered a large number of famous calligraphers, paintings, poems, and poems at Hongdumen School, and studied day and night, painting, calligraphy, and poems. Emperor Xiaokang also liked this, and often came to Hongdumen to learn how to write poems. With his efforts,
, the writing style of the entire Han Dynasty developed rapidly. Now, the emperor wants to set up another work, which arouses the dissatisfaction of these famous people. How can horses and craftsmen be equal to me?
However, now that the emperor's prestige is at its peak, they dare not object and can only hide their complaints in their hearts.
After the emperor completed the construction, he summoned famous craftsmen from all over the world to work with Ma Jun.
In a short period of time, a large number of talents were obtained. Most of these talents were official craftsmen in various places and were proficient in their respective places. Hongdu School suddenly became lively. These vulgar craftsmen often gathered together,
How to create a loud argument, even Ma Jun couldn't convince all of them. Although they respected him very much on weekdays, they didn't admit defeat when it came to craftsmanship.
The ministers lamented that the emperor was addicted to evil ways and the country would not be governed.
The emperor completely ignored their dissatisfaction, vigorously supported these craftsmen, and gave a large number of rewards to those who had meritorious service. The emperor's performance was so obvious, which naturally caused a trend again. Previously, during the period of Emperor Xiaokang, in order to increase the number of cattle
, the emperor deliberately showed good cattle, and all the officials imitated, and the world imitated, and the number of cattle for farming increased sharply during the Jianning period.
It is also common today. Under the atmosphere of the emperor's love for work, this trend has gradually emerged in the world. The Hu chair, which was originally despised by everyone, is used by hundreds of officials just because the emperor likes it. Sometimes, the officials are the most determined
, but at other times, they were always the first group of people to approach the emperor. The emperor was happy to see this situation and did not stop it.
Seeing this situation, Cui Gong also quickly wrote a piece of "Tiangong Fu" and dedicated it to the emperor, and received a heavy reward again.
The craftsmen worked hard and made various items, but the rewards they received were not as great as Cui Shi's. This was helpless. Cui Shi had a great reputation in the literary world, and the influence of his literary works must have been that of the craftsmen.
What cannot be compared is what the emperor cares about.
As various utensils that are beneficial to the people have appeared one after another, the opposition among the officials has gradually diminished. From ancient times to the present, I have never heard of a king being so fond of these craftsman's things. This is the first time for the emperor. However,
At least if the emperor likes these things, it is better than chopping off the heads of ministers, so the ministers simply do not interfere. However, in Tai Shiling's writings, there have been remarks that are unfavorable to the emperor.
"The emperor was curious about skills and tricks, and ignored the basics to pursue the weak. He refused to obey the advice of hundreds of officials."
In October, Cao Cao arrived in Luoyang, but the emperor was not in a hurry to summon him.
The little fat man sat on the chair and looked at the table in his hand. This was written by Cao Cao about the affairs of the Three Han Navy and the Japanese state. In the table above, you can see the development of the Three Han Navy in this year.
They also built nearly a hundred large ships and trained nearly 10,000 naval troops. However, even with such a naval army, they could not rashly participate in the internal affairs of Japan.
Originally, Emperor Xiaokang wanted to divide the Japanese country into two and integrate it to facilitate trade. However, he did not expect that the former emperor's middle path collapsed, and the affairs of the Japanese country came to a halt. Himihu also took advantage of this time to immediately transfer it to himself.
Cao Cao had no choice but to gain the throne and let the Han Dynasty control the Japanese country. Cao Cao was helpless, but he was by no means incompetent.
He deliberately made a show in front of Himihu, saying that the new king wanted to attack the Japanese country.
Himihu was not easily fooled. Although he showed fear, he still did not plead with Cao Cao, and Cao Cao did not say much. Not long after, when the military supplies Zhang Wen needed arrived in Sanhan, Zhang Wen personally led the army to Youzhou.
At that time, Beimihu, who was in Sanhan, panicked. She could clearly see that the Han Dynasty was indeed going to use the military, and tens of thousands of elites had gathered in Sanhan Youzhou.
She then begged Cao Cao for mercy and hoped to come to Luoyang again to meet the new king.
Only a few officials knew about Zhang Taiwei's expedition against Goguryeo, and only a few people in Youzhou, including the governor, knew about Zhang Wen's movements. Naturally, Bimihu didn't know about Zhang Wen's movements. She also saw that Cao Cao was working hard to build warships, so she was naturally frightened.
, Cao Cao was originally going to come to Luoyang to pay homage to his new king, so he brought her over directly. The little fat man squinted his eyes after reading his list.
It was already late at night. The little fat man stood up, moved his back, and looked at Han Men aside.
Han Men looked at the Emperor in confusion.
"Ahem, has the Queen Mother rested?"
Han Men's eyes widened, he shook his head and said, "I don't know."
"Bastard, why don't you go and find out!" the little fat man said angrily, and Han Men quickly ran out of the Houde Hall. After a while, he returned to the Houde Hall and said: "The Queen Mother has gone to bed."
"Okay, hurry up and take me to Yeting!!!"
Han Men looked at the impatient little fat man and wanted to object, but could not speak. Although the Queen Mother gave the order, the person in front of him was the king of a country. How could he dare to refuse? He quickly led the Huang Men and brought them with him.
The emperor then quietly rushed to Yeting.
When they arrived at Yeting, the emperor looked around like a thief and said, "You guys are guarding here. You are not allowed to enter, and you are not allowed to let anyone in!"
"According to the order!"
The little fat man laughed and walked in quickly.
When he walked into Yeting this time, fortunately, only Miss Cai was here. She was chatting with the palace maid. When she saw someone walking in, she turned her head. When she saw that the person was the emperor, the palace lady panicked and hurriedly
When they met Da Zhou, Zhaoji just glanced at him calmly, but did not salute. Her glance made the little fat man feel hot.
He waved his hand and said to the palace maid: "Get out!"
The palace maid hurriedly lowered her head and ran out. The little fat man grinned and sat next to Zhaoji, staring at her seriously. Zhaoji was extremely beautiful, with a pair of bright big eyes, such clear eyes.
When she saw the little fat man looking like this, she just rolled her eyes at him. The little fat man was stunned by how cute he looked.
"Your Majesty, do you have something important to come here late at night?"
A crisp voice sounded.
The little fat man was stunned and didn't react, so he asked: "Huh?"
"Your Majesty came here late at night, do you have something important to do?"
"Hey, you and I have never been able to be alone together since you entered the palace. I miss you very much, so I came here."
"I hope your Majesty will not be rude," Zhao Ji said with a frown and some displeasure.
When the little fat man saw it, his expression became even more stunned, and he stared at her blankly.
