Ma Jun did not rest and went directly to Sikong Mansion.
Ma Jun knew the current Sikong Yuan Shao. When Yuan Shu entered He Zi's house, but was locked in by his father, it was this person who came to inform Ma Jun and asked Ma Jun to tell today's son. Finally, he forced He Zi to break in.
Yuan Mansion brought Yuan Shu out, so he had the opportunity to meet Yuan Shao several times. However, at that time, he never thought that one day, he would actually pay homage to him as a man worth two thousand stones.
And he has even reached the position of San Gong, and this position is still very stable and will not be easily shaken.
Before Xiaokang, the position of the three princes was very easy to change. They would be replaced almost every year. Wherever there was a natural disaster, it would be blamed on the three princes. Situ, Sinong, Sikong, and Taiwei were all the same.
At the most exaggerated time, he could replace Situ three times in a year. However, during the reign of Emperor Xiaokang, he did not like to change important ministers so frequently. He may be worried that such behavior would interrupt various affairs in the court.
Implementation of the New Deal.
From this time on, the status and power of the Three Dukes have been greatly improved. All officials dream of becoming the Three Dukes. The Three Dukes are also regarded as the highest achievement of an official, even more than before. Of course, in this way,
Later, it became increasingly difficult for ministers to serve as three ministers. They had to be capable, qualified, favored by the emperor, and meet all the requirements before they could climb towards this position.
When Ma Jun arrived at the door of Sikong Mansion, he was shocked. The Sikong Mansion occupies a large area, and the large and small pavilions are clearly visible. On the left and right are the courtyard walls of his house, which are also built.
It was extremely tall, and there were various reliefs on the walls. It was so luxurious that Ma Jun felt a little suspicious. The emperor was such a person who advocated simplicity, how could he allow Sikong to be so extravagant?
Or, where did Yuan Shao get the courage to show off like this, and wasn't he afraid of arousing the emperor's anger?
After knocking on the door, the servant came out. The servant's clothes were better than Ma Jun's. Even ordinary rich people would rarely be dressed like this. However, what surprised Ma Jun was that this servant was extremely handsome.
He was humble and polite, even when faced with Ma Jun dressed like this, he didn't look down upon him in the slightest. He saluted respectfully, and then asked about Ma Jun's identity. Ma Jun said: "Excuse me, I will be a great craftsman."
Come and meet Sikong!"
The servant was not surprised and asked Ma Jun to enter the courtyard and wait for a while in the front yard before quickly going to report. Ma Jun was sitting in the front yard, surrounded by various trees, sitting in the shade.
Next, there was a stone case in front of him, and a slave offered tea. This was the first time that Ma Jun received such courtesy. He was curious, so he looked around. As he was looking, he saw a person coming from a distance, followed by several slaves.
, that man is tall and strong, not young, but still exceptionally handsome.
Looking at the face that was quite similar to Yuan Shu, Ma Jun still remembered his identity and stood up quickly. Speaking of it, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu were still somewhat similar, but Yuan Shao was taller, more handsome, and had a different look.
Of course, Yuan Shu is not bad either. He has experienced many years of conquests and has the iron-blooded aura of a general. The scars on his face make him look even more hardcore.
"Ma Jun!!"
Yuan Shao called Ma Jun from afar and walked over with a smile. Ma Jun quickly bowed to see him. Yuan Shao helped him up nonchalantly and said with a smile: "We haven't seen you for many years, but Ma Jun is still the same as before!!"
"Looking around, Yuan Shao said again: "The inner courtyard is a bit stuffy. If Ma Jun doesn't mind, how about talking about this place?"
Naturally, Ma Jun had no objection, so the two sat down here and chatted for a long time. Then Yuan Shao said: "Your Majesty sent Huangmen to give me an edict. Only then did I know that Ma Jun had returned.
, It is a great good thing for Sikong Mansion that Mr. Ma can serve as a general and master craftsman. With you here, I will no longer have to worry about construction!!" Yuan Shao smiled, seeing Yuan Shao praise him so much,
Ma Jun did not dare to neglect and said:
"I still have to trouble Sikong to support me... My general is just an empty shell, and I don't even have half of the people under my command..."
"Hahaha, Jiangzuo Mansion is also under the command of Sikong Mansion. You don't have to worry. Whether you need financial support or manpower, I can match you..." Yuan Shao said, and Ma Jun understood what Yuan Shao meant.
, however, he has no intention of competing with Yuan Shao for power. Yuan Shao's conditions for supporting him are very clear. He must completely obey the command of Sikong Mansion. If it were someone else, he might even argue with Yuan Shao, but immediately
None of them had this idea.
Ma Jun only wanted to do his own research. He loved this so much. He didn't want to get involved in fighting for power and profit. Therefore, he agreed readily without any delay. He stood up and thanked Yuan Shao for his support. Yuan Shao was even more enthusiastic.
Overjoyed, she became even more enthusiastic when facing him. The two talked for a long time. There was a Jiangzuo Mansion. It was a large mansion in the east of the city. It was not deserted, but became an office under the name of Sikong Mansion.
at.
Yuan Shao gave this place to Ma Jun, and also assigned the officials inside to Ma Jun. As for the craftsmen, Ma Jun needed to use them himself during the construction. Ma Jun also expressed his thoughts.
, including studying these novel things and cultivating craftsmen. Yuan Shao knew that this was the emperor's intention and agreed to everything. Ma Jun then resigned. Yuan Shao wanted to keep him, but Ma Jun said that he had not been with his father at home for a long time.
, left in a hurry.
Watching Ma Jun leave, the smile on Yuan Shao's face slowly disappeared.
No one would like it if one more person took away his power. However, fortunately, Ma Jun was quite obedient and did not want to separate from him because of the emperor's favor. At least, in name.
Above, the Sikong Mansion is in charge of the General Mansion. This is a major event. This means that whenever Ma Jun gains something in the future, the Sikong Mansion will be able to take part of it.
Recently, the relationship between Yuan Shao and Liu Bei has gradually deteriorated. The problem is that Liu Bei's Si Nong Mansion has some traces of being separated from the Sikong Mansion. Liu Bei seems gentle and humble, but in fact he is also ambitious. Many times, he ignores Yuan Shao, who is in charge, and directly
Shangzou and the emperor acted independently, and gradually gained the emperor's favor and importance. Yuan Shao was somewhat unable to order him, which made Yuan Shao very dissatisfied. He was not dissatisfied because of the loss of power in his hands, but because of Liu Bei's rudeness.
Ma Jun left here, returned home, and rested for a whole day before preparing to go to General's Mansion the next day.
He had dinner with his father, and as soon as he opened the door of the mansion, he was startled. There were four people standing at the door. These four people were all dressed as officials. When they saw Ma Jun going out, they asked: "But The horse will be the current one??"
"Exactly."
"My subordinates pay their respects to Mr. Magong!!"
Everyone paid their respects one after another. Ma Jun helped them up with some surprise and asked, "Who are you, gentlemen?"
"We are all officials of the General's Mansion. Due to Sikong's order, we came to see Mr. Ma and took him to the General's Mansion. Also, we brought Ma Gong's official uniforms and some gifts from Sikong... ", several people said, waved their hands, and several carriages appeared behind them, and some people came and were about to enter the mansion. Ma Jun was startled and quickly blocked the door, saying: "Gentlemen. What are you going to do?? I have everything in my mansion and I can’t stand Sikong’s kindness!!”
"Ma Gong... these are all things that will be used, including carriages, slaves, books, etc..." They looked at Ma Jun, they couldn't walk more than two thousand stones, and then looked at Ma Jun holding the hand Is that skinny horse worthy of two thousand stones?
Ma Jun sighed and watched helplessly as they brought the things in, with a look of sorrow on his face. What should we do? Now that we have two horses, it will cost more to feed them, as well as these slaves. , How much will this cost? It’s over, it’s over, my family’s fortune is gone!!
However, these things are indispensable, especially the frame. When Shijun was alive, there were carriages, so I couldn't always ride a horse.
After finishing their work, the officials took Ma Jun to Jiangzuo Mansion. Along the way, they introduced themselves and explained the current situation of Jiangzuo Mansion. Ma Jun listened carefully. When they arrived at Jiangzuo Mansion, several more officials walked out. , there are less than ten officials in Nuo Da's general's mansion, Ma Jun thought, but the land here is quite big, which is not bad, there are no houses around, there is only one inn, it seems that it was originally built as a general's house. The people in the government are quite discerning.
After everyone inspected the entire General's Mansion, Ma Jun was still very satisfied. Looking at the officials on the side, Ma Jun said, "You can go tell Sikong that we need to expand the General's Mansion..."
The man was stunned and said: "Mr. Ma, there are only nine of us... this..."
"You don't know, I want to recruit more than 400 craftsmen from the Hongdu School. These people are all wise men and quite accomplished. They made the Xiping silk weaving machine together... so we need a side. In addition to the courtyard, I will also recruit some poor people and teach them to make utensils... In the future, they can lead official craftsmen to make large quantities of utensils for use by the country. Therefore, we still need to expand... ..”
Hearing Ma Jun's words, the man quickly agreed and left.
He looked at another person and said: "With my order, bring the craftsmen from the Hongdu School...bring them all..."
He ordered everything, and then he had time to think about the future. The general's mansion needed to build the city, build the palace, etc. Of course, Ma Jun did not need to do it himself, he only needed to dispatch officials and craftsmen. , Of course, it is impossible to say that the Hongdumen learned some new city-building techniques from those great craftsmen. At that time, Ma Jun would need to come forward. Therefore, Ma Jun’s main task was to take the more than 400 great craftsmen to study them. All kinds of novelty things.
As for those beggars, they have to learn how to use the things that Ma Jun and others have studied skillfully, and then teach them to others. As for using them, Ma Jun wants to find them a job to survive. These poor people
After people get a job, they will definitely work harder than anyone else. After all, they are people who have truly endured hardship and will cherish this hard-won life.
Before evening, the man who went to Sikong Mansion had already returned.
He did not come back alone. He brought five carts with him. These were materials transferred by Yuan Shao to expand the general's mansion.
