Chapter 305
Many county government officials who had no time to stop them were afraid to face the furious Ma Jun. Ma Jun's attitude was very gentle on weekdays, but when he was doing those weird things, he couldn't be disturbed, otherwise , they will have seen the most irritable side of the county magistrate, you see, the county magistrate is so angry that he no longer stutters!
However, when Ma Jun recognized the person in front of him, he immediately became restrained again, and said somewhat falteringly: "Bye bye, bye, master,,,"

Wen Renxi frowned, stepped forward and pushed him away, and walked in. Ma Jun followed behind him and walked in together. When he entered the interior, he saw the big stove in the room, some strange tools around it, and some dark graphite. He knew the so-called graphite. Graphite was a strange stone. It can be used for incineration, but the effect is not as great as wood.

This so-called graphite is coal, also known as coal.

Wen Renxi really couldn't figure it out, his incompetent disciple didn't want to be a good county magistrate, so he insisted on playing with some graphite here, he kicked a few pieces of graphite at his feet, and said angrily: " I did not hesitate to fight with Wang Fu to ensure that you pass the examination, is this how you repay me?"

"Master, that's not the case. It's just that it's very cold here in winter. I see... see... I saw that many people in Liangzhou use graphite for heating, but in Luoyang, this thing is still used by scholars. With the fine craftsmanship of carving, I think I can,,, can...can do some practical things for the people of Liangzhou. If I...I...I can make this thing better for cold resistance, then for the people of the world, Isn't it... a beautiful thing?" Ma Jun quickly argued.

"No matter how beneficial this matter is to the people, do you still have to fulfill your duties as the magistrate before that?"

"Abandoning the common people here and not caring, only busy with their own trivial matters, how can you be worthy of the emperor's love?"

Wen Renxi did have great expectations for this disciple. He hoped that this intelligent disciple would succeed him in the future. Fortunately, after he left the temple, there would be someone who could help the emperor manage the treasury. However, Ruo Majun was always like this , how can he obtain political achievements?How can he be promoted? Now it's not like in the past, as long as he has a stable qualifications. Now he must make some achievements in order to be favored by Wang Fu.

"Master, if I can succeed, this graphite will be necessary for the entire north of the Han Dynasty, and only I know how to make it. At that time, I will submit the production method to the temple. Wouldn't it be possible for the treasury to be used?" Gradually increasing, stuttering became less and less. When talking about his scientific research, he rarely stuttered. He explained his methods one by one. Wen Renxi knew nothing about it, but after hearing After his huge profits, he also listened patiently.

"Oh, whatever, whatever!" Wen Renxi just shook his head helplessly after hearing this, and walked out.

"Master, where are you going?"

"Even if I have something important to do and need to go to Liangzhou, you can continue to do your work. Remember, I will never favor you because you are my disciple. What you have done here, If you are impeached by Wang Fu, I will not help you!" Wen Renxi said coldly, and after finishing speaking, he left directly with his followers, Ma Jun bowed his head and remained silent.

After leaving Fufeng, Wen Renxi rushed to the Liangzhou government office. Unfortunately, Zheng Xuan was not here. Ever since Wang Fu left, he had also acquired Wang Fu's bad habit of not staying in the government office on weekdays. They were patrolling around Liangzhou, and the Liangzhou officials were devastated by this. Wen Renxi searched for three days before finally finding Zheng Xuan. Seeing this, he didn't blame Zheng Xuan, and went down to the farm together, talking to Zheng Xuan while working.

"I came here this time to open up business. I'm not very familiar with Beyond the Great Wall. I still need the help of Mr. Zheng."

"After passing the Western Regions, Guishuang is here. If the big man wants to send a business trip, he needs to communicate with Guishuang to let them take care of the business trip before he can reach Anxi."

"Guishuang. The prince told me and introduced it to all the officials. He also talked about the tea."

"Not only tea, silk, pottery, and paper, but also the favorite commodities of foreign businessmen. If we do business, these items may be indispensable."

"Well, I still need Zheng Gong's help in these matters, and I have to go to Yizhou to talk to the big local merchants about the sale of tea."

Zheng Xuan got up, wiped the sweat from his forehead, nodded with a smile, and said: "It is said that Wen Rengong is as rich as a country, and his family is full of gold and silver. I don't know how to do farming." Wen Renxi heard, He laughed loudly and said: "I was poor since I was a child, and I have never had a full meal. Let alone farming, it is crafting, and I know all about stealing."

Hearing Wen Renxi's self-deprecating words, Zheng Xuan felt a sense of sadness from them. He didn't say much, nodded, and said: "I am also like this. If it wasn't for the help from my neighbors when I was young, I'm afraid I wouldn't have seen it in recent days." Achievement."

"Well, after you finish harvesting this acre, I'm going to Yizhou. Regarding the route and the escort of the soldiers, I still need to trouble you." Wen Renxi said, then bowed his head and started to get busy again.

"Mr. Wen, it's not difficult to escort them outside the Western Regions. However, I heard that Guishuang is also a big country with a territory of thousands of miles and hundreds of thousands of soldiers. If he does not allow trade, he will not accept Han merchants, or even detain them. Intercept and kill, what should I do?"

Wen Renxi laughed and said: "If he doesn't do business with the big man, then use the sword to cut open the gate of his country!"

After Wen Renxi left, Zheng Xuan quickly returned to the government office. He first called for the captain of the garrison who had been stationed outside Liangzhou all year round to ask about the route. Outside Liangzhou, there were still some Qiang people and bandits. Only after passing through some areas where the Han soldiers are stationed can they reach the Western Regions safely. After arriving in the Western Regions, the [-] soldiers stationed in the Western Regions can be assigned to escort them to the surrounding area of ​​Guishuang. It can be entrusted to Guishuang Kingdom.

Regarding Guishuang, Zheng Xuan still needs to send envoys to discuss important matters related to the trade between the two countries. Of course, he also needs to report to the court Taiwei Zhang to make plans to send troops. As a great Confucian, Zheng Xuan should not be so belligerent. But after staying in Liangzhou for a long time, he seems to have been infected with Liangzhou's belligerent style. What's more, he personally experienced the Xianbei War back then. Over the years, he has become more and more like a Xiliang warrior. Rather than a world-renowned great Confucianism.
