After the court meeting was over, Xun Yu couldn't wait to follow Ma Jun to Gongfu. Gongfu was the former General's Mansion. Except for the name, there was no change. The craftsmen in it were still the ones who followed Ma Jun before.
That group of people, Ma Jun, still had a high prestige in the temple. Logically speaking, craftsmen did not have much status in the Han Dynasty, even if they developed countless products.
However, Ma Jun was different. The printing technique he developed completely brought a literary carnival to the Han Dynasty. Books were constantly printed and sent to various places. The value of books continued to decrease, and correspondingly, the amount of dissemination
With the rapid rise, the books that were originally held in the hands of wealthy families are now widely circulated. Reading and becoming an official are no longer the exclusive preserve of wealthy families.
As the mastermind behind this carnival, Ma Jun is naturally particularly respected by everyone.
Walking on the road, this Han Dynasty's first craftsman was still very simple and frugal on weekdays. Due to the court meeting, he put on the brand-new official uniform sent by the temple, but it was particularly unnatural. This costume was a bit too much for him.
It's luxurious, so I'm careful when walking on the road, for fear of getting dirty and messy. Of course, there are advantages. I wear this outfit and walk on the road in Luoyang.
No one dared to stop him, and they all bowed to him.
Temple veterans all know that Ma Jun is often stopped by the county government officials because he is dressed too plainly...almost in tatters. Ma Jun never cares about it. Besides, he rarely goes out and spends all year round.
They are busy in the Jiangzuo Mansion. Over the past few years, every year, the Jiangzuo Mansion will basically create something new. Last year, they developed a new iron smelting technology, which seems to be a new one.
Tools for making wind.
Except for the craftsmen, few people would understand what effect this would have on the great Han. Even the emperor was not very clear about it.
Xun Yu still supported Ma Jun very much. He had grown up with Emperor Xiaoxian. Emperor Xiaoxian loved these novel and weird things, and he also had a close relationship with Ma Jun. Because of this, Xun Yu
The relationship with Ma Jun is also good. Even a long, long, long time ago, when Wen Renggong was alive, Ma Jun often helped them make some small toys.
"Mr. Ma...how should we solve this matter about the track? Will it cost too much money?" Xun Yu and Ma Jun were walking on the road. Xun Yu still asked a little uneasily,
He is indeed a little worried that the treasury will once again spend a lot of energy on this Chidao. The previous construction of Chidao was under the responsibility of Mr.
Huge financial and material resources.
Ma Jun shook his head and said: "Don't worry, I personally went to detect the damaged wooden rails. I found that the main problems appeared on the sleepers. Maybe I can improve or strengthen them."
The sleepers...are reinforced with other materials."
"Hmm..." Xun Yu nodded and asked: "How does Mr. Ma plan to reinforce it? Will it require iron or other things?"
"It doesn't cost much. I mainly rely on soil, water, and some sundries... dig a trench, fill it with burned earth... add wood to support the mud... After smelting the jade, take its powder and add mud and water
, It has miraculous effects..." Ma Jun immediately started talking about the techniques, explaining the principles and functions. Ma Jun spoke quickly, and several of Xun Yu's followers could not understand them at all.
.
Most of these followers have read books, but at this moment, they couldn't understand at all what Ma Jun said.
"Oh?? Jade can actually have such effects?"
"Haha, this is not what I developed. It has been around since ancient times... I just used it to make sleepers. Of course, it can't be called sleepers now. It should be mud sleepers, or concrete sleepers.
?" Ma Jun asked, shook his head, and said: "Anyway, after adding these materials to normal soil, mixed with wood or iron, this quality can definitely support any weight..."
"Hmm..." Xun Yu thought for a moment and then asked: "If Ma Gong's technology is used on city walls... or even houses..." When he heard Xun Yu's words, Ma Jun's eyes widened.
His eyes and whole person were a little excited. He thought for a moment and said: "But, I am worried that the material taken from the jade stone is harmful to people. Anyway, that thing... is not easy for people to touch...
"
"Then just build a house for me. I'll live in it and check it out. If it's harmful, just don't continue to use it." Xun Yu said calmly.
"Okay!" Ma Jun nodded.
Several of his followers were shocked and quickly tried to persuade him, but Xun Yu ignored him and just shook his head.
A group of people rushed to the Gongfu, and the craftsmen saluted one after another. Xun Yu didn't even have time to return the salute, so he was pulled by Ma Jun to the backyard. In the backyard, they actually made an imitation of a galloping path. It was not long, and each section seemed to be long.
After different treatments, Xun Yu even saw the railway track, which made him very curious and asked: "Ma Gong, is this a railway track? Logically speaking, this is much easier to use than a wooden track?"
"Although it is easy to use, it is easy to frost in winter and is relatively slippery. In addition, the cost is too high. Based on Dahan's current iron production, it would cost an estimated three hundred dollars to cover all the tracks in Dahan.
Year..."
"Ahem..." Xun Yu cleared his throat and didn't speak again.
"Then according to Ma Gong's idea...these things..."
"Boom!!!"
A loud thunder interrupted Xun Yu's words. Several of Xun Yu's followers were frightened and almost fell to the ground. Xun Yu was also a little frightened and looked behind him. He clearly heard the thunder.
The sound came from behind him. What on earth was this? It was so terrifying. Ma Jun's face was also solemn. He walked over quickly and saw a few craftsmen walking over. They chatted for a while before leaving.
.
Seeing Ma Jun's solemn look, Xun Yu could only ask in a low voice: "Ma Gong, what happened?"
"Oh...it's okay, it's just a new research and development...no casualties..." Ma Jun said calmly.
Xun Yu was startled and asked: "Ma Gong is making thunder and lightning??"
"Thunder and lightning?", Ma Jun was suddenly stunned, raised his head and looked at the sky, "Maybe... we can try it?"
The corners of Xun Yu's mouth twitched, but he didn't know what to say.
"Mr.
The words I used were because I was worried that others would say that I was refining elixirs and bewitching the emperor. The ministers hated the alchemists. I only made a few objects before, but they insulted me like that..."
"If they knew that I was refining elixirs, I'm afraid someone would come to assassinate me for the sake of the emperor at night..."
Ma Jun said with a wry smile.
Xun Yu smiled and said: "I understand, don't worry, Mr. Ma, I will not disclose it to anyone."
"Well, thank you... I mainly want to find out the secret of the furnace explosion. Just imagine, if in the future, I can master this furnace explosion technology, I can blow up mountains and rivers, use it to travel, I can blow up enemies, and make outsiders
I don’t dare to make an enemy of the big man. In short, there are many places where I can use it... I have been studying it for nearly ten years, but it’s a pity that I have only mastered a few and haven’t fully understood it yet.”
"It seems that it requires a reasonable configuration of several materials. I have been recording and have recorded thousands of recipes, but there is still no way to control it..." Ma Jun shook his head.
Xun Yu smiled, held Ma Jun's hand, and said: "Ma Gong, I think you can definitely develop it. In the future, if the engineering government needs any help, you can come to me. In addition, the engineering school should also
After it has expanded, just like the Military Academy, I will let it be built next to the Gongfu and recruit students at will. The outstanding ones can directly enter the Gongfu as officials. I will let the official academy arrange personnel to be responsible for these things."
Ma Jun was stunned for a moment and then said: "Will anyone come to enroll?"
"Hahaha, of course, even if it's just to be an official, there will definitely be one. Don't worry, the talents of craftsmen have always been underestimated. I will cultivate more outstanding craftsmen in the country, Ministry of Industry
It will be the first department I want to develop next, and it will be the focus of the temple, so don’t worry.”
"Thank you Mr. Xun!"
"You and I are close relatives, just call me by my name."
Xun Yu personally visited the craftsmen here, and also gave them some rewards. This made the craftsmen particularly happy and thanked the minister one after another. Xun Yu was busy in Gongfu for almost the whole day.
, just left here.
Shangshu Ling was busy outside, Zhongshu Ling stayed at home with his children, and the saddest thing was Shi Zhongling, who stayed by the emperor's side and helped the emperor review documents.
Guo Jia was sitting in the Hall of Houde, looking tired. He looked at the memorials in his hands, shook his head, and looked helplessly at the emperor beside him.
"Your Majesty, it's hard for you."
Liu Xi was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Hahaha, Mr. Guo, don't talk like that. On weekdays, I always have people from the Shizhong Mansion to help me, and I'm not that tired. It's okay."
Guo Jia shook his head and said, "I'm not talking about hard work. I just feel that it's really hard for Your Majesty to watch these idiots' performance all day long..."
"Hahaha!" Liu Xi laughed.
"Look at what this idiot said. He actually wants the temple to cancel taxes??? He also said that the state treasury is sufficient and there is no need to squeeze the people??"
"I usually stay in the same temple with such idiots??"
Guo Jia folded the document carefully, "I want to send this document to Sun Quan and let Sun Quan see what kind of officials he has arranged..."
Liu Xi said helplessly: "You still read too little of the memorial. After I came to the throne, I watched more and got used to it. I haven't been angry about the memorial for a long time. The last time I got angry about the memorial
Angry, I remember when Zhong Changtong petitioned me to destroy all the temples to offer sacrifices... If I were willing, I'm afraid this guy would even destroy the temple of Confucius..."
"I don't know whether it was good or bad to let him be the governor of Xiliang... On the first day he took office, he demolished all the local temples and expelled all the alchemists... There was a local temple of Champion Marquis.
Didn't survive..."
"Oh, you don't know how much energy I expended to prevent the Northern and Southern Army from killing him..."
"He was very confident in what he said, saying that future generations would use the reputation of the Champion to get money and defraud people, and that he destroyed the temple for the Champion... He also said that he had asked the Champion, and he had no objection to the statue of the Champion...
.Sigh...sometimes, I don’t know who are the people under my command..."
