Picked up a copy of Romance of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 793
Luo Yang
Xun Yu walked on the street on foot, wearing a Confucian long robe, but it couldn't conceal his elegant temperament from the inside out. He didn't wear official clothes, but when he was walking on the road, there were still common people who gave way, scholars paying homage to him, knight-errants Dodge, which celebrity must this be?Or is it the grand sacrificial wine from Taixue?This is why Xun Yu can't dress up like Cao Cao and go on private tours in micro-clothes.

So, for officials like Situ and Shang Shuling, it's better to let people like Pang Tong and Cao Cao do it, maybe it's more appropriate.

As for Xun Yu, he probably had to wear a set of refugee clothes, maybe he could reach their level, or he might not.

These days, Xun Yu is touring several important departments. The Gongfu is developing new iron-smelting technology, and the Nongfu has also dispatched manpower. It is said that they want to print the compiled agricultural books to various places. They also have to communicate with the Gongfu The cooperation is said to be to innovate farm tools. In short, although Xun Yu is not in charge of everything, Xun Yu has to visit it from time to time.

He has to record their progress, these are to be reported to the emperor, and cannot be underestimated.

As usual, he came to the Gongfu. The current Gongfu is valued by Xun Yu, and it is also a place he must go. The Gongfu has the full support of the temple. Of course, Cao Situ also supported him when he was in power. At that time, it was still called Jiangzuo Mansion, but he supported it secretly, because the economic strength of the temple itself was not high, and the construction of Gongfu could not be put on the bright side. It is different now, Xun Yu is never afraid of making publicity.

Today's group of ministers are all aggressive, displaying their talents wantonly and wanting to realize their various ambitions.

This is not to say that today's officials are the most outstanding in history. More to say, they are still enjoying the glory of their predecessors, and they are somewhat reaping the benefits. Starting from Emperor Xiaokang, the Great Han has begun various developments. As for Xi From Ping to Yankang, as of today, the national treasury has reached a very sufficient stage for the first time, which is inseparable from the predecessors.

It is precisely because of a series of policies and even conquests from the time of Emperor Xiaokang that the world is now so rich. Just like Xiaowen and Xiaojing in the past, Xiaokang and Xiaoxian also laid a special foundation for later generations. The more so, the greater the pressure on today's son, he must not only do well, but also surpass his father and grandfather, otherwise, he will be incompetent.

His foundation is many times better than that of his father and grandfather. Correspondingly, what he wants to do should naturally surpass his father and grandfather. However, what his father and grandfather did is not something that can be easily surpassed, especially for Liu Xi. In other words, it is almost equivalent to a myth. Fortunately, his Liu Xi's courtiers are not bad, which can make him feel at ease.

Officials at all levels in the Gongfu were very familiar with Xun Yu. As soon as Xun Yu entered the mansion, a small official came forward to greet him. Of course, it was not because the officials of the Gongfu looked down on Xun Yu and sent a small official to greet him. In fact, all the officials in the Gongfu have no leisure time, and there are as many as [-] kinds of research and development being carried out at the same time. Naturally, there is no way to entertain Shang Shuling.

Fortunately, Xun Yu is not someone who cares about these things. The little official took him to a courtyard in the deepest part of the Gongfu. Xun Yu felt a fiery breath from a distance, and the entire courtyard seemed to be burning. The fiery air waves hit Xun Yu's body, making it difficult for Xun Yu to breathe. At this moment, he barely saw the front clearly.

A huge stove was erected in the courtyard, surrounded by busy craftsmen. The raging fire was burning in the stove, which almost turned all the craftsmen red, and the air waves swept continuously. Ma Jun was like a general participating in a war. Usually, stand at the front and shout loudly: "Get out of the way, we need to add some more, Liu Erlang, pay attention to the air outlet!!"

Ma Jun built a step. As for the top of the blast furnace, he was holding a tool and was throwing something into the blast furnace.

Xun Yu naturally couldn't understand what they were doing, but he heard a craftsman shouting, and with Ma Jun's addition, billowing black smoke suddenly came out from several air vents, followed by a violent burning sound, and the stove blew out. The sharp roar seemed to explode at any moment, Xun Yu took a step back subconsciously, and Ma Jun immediately shouted: "Back! Back!!"

Many craftsmen retreated one after another, and there was only one Ma Jun left, who was still standing on top and was still throwing it in. Xun Yu took a closer look and saw that there were charcoal, kerosene and other things piled up around Ma Jun. , Xun Yu was taken aback. If sparks splashed, something would happen. However, Ma Jun didn't have the slightest fear, and kept busy.

After more than half an hour of being so tense, someone took some crimson liquid from below.

Xun Yu who was watching was terrified, Ma Jun also came down from the top, and started talking with other craftsmen. He didn't know what they were doing. Xun Yu was watching, when someone suddenly said, "Goodbye... Shang Shuling."

Xun Yu turned around, and it turned out that it was the new farm servant She. Xun Yu was still a little curious about this farm servant. What kind of ability does a young man who is important, and let the emperor himself speak up, let himself be trained a little bit, have what kind of ability?

"Deng Jun? Why are you here?"

"I'm here to get... get... the latest few... farm tools, I think it's time... to wait... to replace the rest of the country's farm tools with iron farm tools. Also, there are overturned cars... Car irrigation, I have already passed the permission of the emperor, and will let the Gongfu assist the agricultural government. First, build a car irrigation system in 130 counties across the country. In the future, it will be promoted...widely to the whole country. ", Deng Ai said seriously.

Xun Yu nodded.

Deng Ai went on to say: "I got the rice seeds from the south of Jiaozhou. The planting in Yangzhou, Jingzhou, Yuzhou, and Xuzhou is still very good. Next, I plan to do my best in these places. promotion"

Xun Yu just nodded, he didn't know why Deng Ai would suddenly tell himself these things, he could just report these things to the emperor, and tell himself that he wanted to show off his political achievements?No, it doesn't look like it, Xun Yu was thinking about it, but Deng Ai bowed to him respectfully, and said, "I, I... will definitely not... disappoint Xun Linggong's high expectations. Thank you. Thank you ..”

Looking at the sincere young man in front of him, Xun Yu suddenly realized that he didn't know that his appointment was directly issued by the emperor. He wanted to let me know that he was right. It was a different kind of repayment. Xun Yu understood, He didn't expose it, and said with a smile: "Well, you did a good job. I always knew that Deng Jun is a capable minister. I hope Deng Jun will be more attentive in the next thing."

"Sincerely. Sincerely!"

Deng Ai spoke with difficulty, and bowed heavily to Xun Yu.

At this time, Ma Jun was almost done with his work. He sat on the ground, wiped the sweat off his face, and sighed. Xun Yu walked towards Ma Jun and watched Xun Yu leave. Clenching his fists tightly, his heart was full of excitement. He must repay Duke Xun for his kindness. He will do even better and must not disappoint Duke Xun!

Thinking about this, he turned and left.

Walking to Ma Jun's side, Ma Jun was sighing, raised his head, glanced at Xun Yu, but didn't speak, he was really tired, Xun Yu looked at the craftsmen around who were wiping sweat, and directly Kneeling and sitting next to Ma Jun, Ma Jun was terrified. Ma Jun hurriedly shouted: "Get up quickly, the ground is dirty!"

Xun Yu shook his head with a smile on his face, and said, "It's okay, I can't just stand and chat with you."

Ma Jun still looked at his clothes with some distress, and said: "What beautiful clothes, you people from rich families just don't know how to save money, so what if you stand up, what a pity."

"I'll take it back and wash it off."

"This is all charcoal, can it be cleaned?"

"My fault, my fault." Xun Yu simply gave in.

Ma Jun let out a long sigh, looked at his clothes, and said, "If you come to see me next time, you should wear some worn-out clothes. It's a pity. Many people will never be able to wear such clothes in their entire lives. You can't do that." Waste it, otherwise, sooner or later, you will be punished." Xun Yu listened to Ma Jun's complaints, but did not argue, although his servants wore similar clothes.

"People nowadays only know that they are rich and don't cherish it, but they don't know how this wealth came about. My teacher, when he was buried, couldn't afford such a set of clothes." Ma Jun said , shaking his head.

"I will definitely pay attention to it in the future. Did the iron smelting just now fail?"

"It's not a failure. It's just that the cost is huge. It consumes too much fuel such as charcoal, and it can't make ends meet. This is not possible. This is higher than the output of ordinary ironmaking, but the cost is too huge. No, you have to It needs to be improved." When he talked about these things, Ma Jun immediately forgot about the clothes, and talked about his iron-making method incessantly.

"What about the rest of the things, is there any progress?"

"It's all good. The craftsmen in Dongfang have done some processing on the carriage. Well, you can try it later. You don't understand if I tell you. Anyway, it just makes the carriage less shaking and more stable. , By the way, I also made some iron gadgets." Ma Jun said, suddenly looked into the distance, and shouted: "Old Zhang, bring those things!"

An elderly craftsman stepped forward. Although the craftsman was old, he was physically strong, and his tendons were stronger than the soldiers of the Northern and Southern Army. He came to Xun Yu with some things in his hands. Xun Yu looked He picked it up, played with it for a while, and asked, "What's the use of this?"

"Reinforcement, look at the sharp top, which can be used to reinforce two wooden materials, and the round one, which can be used on some large tools." Ma Jun explained to him and stayed here for a while It took a long time for Xun Yu to come out. The principles of iron smelting and frying furnaces that he was most concerned about still hadn't made much progress. However, the number of craftsmen in the Gongfu continued to increase, and more and more things were developed.

As soon as he walked out of the door, he saw several officials standing at the door.

Xun Yu took a closer look.

"Liu Jun? Why are you here?"

The person standing in front of him is the servant of Shaofu She Liu Ba and his subordinate officials.
