Three Kingdoms, at the beginning of the game, recognize the thief as the father, hit the spectacle,

Although it is still at the end of July in 188 AD, it seems that there is still a long period of time before the political changes next year, but Zhang Yan knows that reality is not a game, and neither the development of technology nor the improvement of productivity is easy. One or two commands, a small button can directly contribute to it.

For example, the cavalry and artillery that he has been thinking about are two sharp weapons. Let alone the cavalry, it is a simple artillery. He is not even confident enough to produce the first prototype, or a test product, before the end of this year.

Metal smelting and casting, mass production and transportation of black powder, design and reliability verification of artillery models...

One problem after another was displayed in front of Zhang Yan and the others like fierce tigers blocking the way, so that even if he devoted himself wholeheartedly to it, he couldn't guarantee that the final result would satisfy him.

If he wants to have the power to protect himself in the troubled times of the future, the cannon, as a relatively simple firearm, can be said to be the capital for Zhang Yan to face the tyrannical princes in the north in the future, and it is also for him to open the door to the world and bring the majesty of China to the world. The tools you need to reach the world.

It was precisely because of this that Zhang Yan was in such a hurry that he wanted to deploy this thing as his trump card before the situation changed next summer, at least a small amount of it in his army.

At that time, as long as Cao Cao issued a call for thieves, or even as long as Zhang Rang sent him a letter, mentioning the bad treatment he had received in Luoyang, he could immediately send troops north to reduce the harm of Dong Zhuo and other powerful officials to a minimum. the lightest degree.

Perhaps the seventeenth of the eighteen princes in the Kanto region could not resist the temptation brought to them by Luoyang's wealth...

But for Zhang Yan, who was born after 2000, these gold and silver treasures are naturally not as important as those people who were lost in the war.

Chapter 18 Destiny

"Then this matter is settled like this. I still have some things to do today, so I won't stay any longer."

"Wei Xian, you should be busy here first, and if you have anything to do, send someone to the bridge mansion to call me."

After casually exhorting Wei Xian, Zhang Yan got up and planned to leave here.

But to his surprise, the normally taciturn opponent stopped him, with a look of embarrassment on his face.

"Well, master, please wait first..."

He stretched out his hand to grab Zhang Yan's sleeve, and after bowing his head in thought for a while, Wei Xiancai seemed to have made up his mind, and looked up at his lord.

"Huh? Is there anything else?"

Seeing this, Zhang Yan was a little surprised, then he stood in the distance and asked Wei Xian softly.

And Wei Xian's answer almost made him spit out three feet of water.

……

"It's not a big deal, I just want to ask the master, is your big library and the blueprints you gave me before really all brought down from the sky?"

"Master, when you were living in the sky, the climate must not be as humid as it is now in Lujiang, right?"

He glanced at Zhang Yan curiously, Wei Xian seemed to be sorting out his words, not knowing how to express his thoughts.

He is not good at words, and he is not the kind of extrovert, so after muttering for a long time, he finally choked out such a nondescript sentence.

But it was this sentence that had been held back for a long time, but it really made Zhang Yan feel a little dumbfounded.

"Good guy, what is the sky and the earth, why did you start to get involved in this kind of thing?"

"We've known each other for more than half a year. Don't you know where I am from? Wei Xian, who are you listening to these nonsense?"

……

"Uh... Didn't this happen to meet Miss Ye'er some time ago? I heard all of this from her."

"But master, I'm serious, if you just look at these weird blueprints, and sometimes some of your unique ideas, I think Miss Ye'er is right."

"If it wasn't for the gods in the sky, how could they have seen so many strange things?"

Pointing to the pattern on the original big library, Wei Xian looked at Zhang Yan with a hint of longing and awe in his eyes.

The design of the library is completely different from any architectural style in China, and even the barbarians in the Western Regions would not build such a religious and sacred thing.

Compared to attributing these things to an unknown overseas civilization, Wei Xian felt that Ye'er's previous so-called "falling from heaven" theory was more credible.

It's just this "son of heaven"...

Subconsciously shook his head, thinking of the recent actions of the Han court, Wei Xian did not dare to say even a little bit more about it.

……

"Oh, this girl..."

Beside him, Zhang Yan's expression was first stunned after hearing the words, and then turned into a trace of helplessness.

"Wei Xian, don't listen to her nonsense. My son was born in the Yingchuan area. This is something I mentioned to you when we first met."

Casually explained to the other party, Zhang Yan didn't intend to say too much about his own origin, and things like the blueprints of wonders.

After all, according to the current troubled times, it is impossible for someone to check his household registration to confirm whether there is really a number one person like him in Yingchuan.Rather than causing myself more trouble because of this matter, it is better to deliberately downplay these things from the very beginning.

It's just that what Zhang Yan didn't expect was that a heart-to-heart talk with Ye'er a long time ago caused the girl to have such a change in her heart.

"Hey, I can tell you clearly, you must rot in your heart today, and don't talk nonsense to others in the future."

"Of course what Ye'er said is not true. Like you, I am a native Han Chinese. There is no doubt about that."

"However... It's not so different from what she said, but it's not as mysterious as the heaven and earth."

Pursing his lips, he tried to explain something to Wei Xian, Zhang Yan's tone was a bit intermittent, as if he didn't know how to describe the origin of these things clearly.

In the end, after thinking about it for a long time, he still sighed, and picked up Ye'er's statement again.

"That's all, let's let it fall from the sky."

"Perhaps for Wei Xian and the others, the ghosts and gods of heaven and earth are more acceptable."

Silently complaining in his heart, Zhang Yan half-denied, half-affirmed the origin of some of his blueprints to a joke he had unintentionally made with Ye'er earlier.

But obviously, Wei Xian didn't say this sentence as simply as a joke.

"He's a Han, but it's not so different from what Miss Ye'er said?"

"Hiss—isn't that destiny..."

His eyes gradually became incomparably dignified, and Wei Xian suddenly regretted why he insisted on asking this question.

Lowering his head, he sent Zhang Yan, who had a slightly red face, out. He looked at the tall and straight white figure not far away, and couldn't help but think of Zhang Yan's series of actions when he was in Luoyang.

Of course, what impressed him the most among them was the vision of the wind and clouds turbulent above the sundial when the sundial was built.

"Did it fall from the sky... the Han people?"

After looking at the big library in his hand again, Wei Xian looked back at the empty space he had cleared out by himself, and a look of expectation gradually appeared on his face.

"If this is really the case, then I think we can see the difference after the establishment of this big library is completed."

"Love the people like a son, and ended the war in Sili as soon as he appeared, and even allowed those displaced people to have food to eat and not starve to death."

"If such a person is destined by the destiny, then it is not bad."

You must know that as early as 400 years ago, Chen, Wu, Liu, Xiang and others were able to shout out such rebellious words as "the princes and generals have kindness". As far as the family is concerned, the so-called "the world belongs to Liu" does not have as serious an impact on them as it does on the aristocratic family.

It's just that at this moment, Zhang Yan in the distance had no way of knowing what was in his mind.

……

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhly

"When we go back tonight, we must take good care of her."

His heart was filled with a touch of embarrassment, just when Wei Xian mentioned this matter, Zhang Yan already felt that his forehead was sweating slightly.

It’s just that for some reason, although Zhang Yan was somewhat repulsed by such a statement of destiny in his heart, when he walked towards the distant city gate involuntarily, his steps became much lighter.

Just like his emotions.

……

"If I'm really the man of destiny, or the protagonist, then give me a little trick, and it won't be too much to develop the artillery before Dong Zhuo's rebellion next year?"

Zhang Yan thought silently.

Chapter 19 Ma Jun's Progress

"Then just reward Wei Xian with some gold and silver."

"It just so happens that his daughter is about to get married recently, so it won't be a bad thing for Wei Xian to save more dowry."

……

A moment later, in a thatched hut on the edge of the wilderness at the gate of Wancheng, Zhang Yanzheng was sitting bored inside the room, while dealing with some recent trivial matters, while waiting for the arrival of Ma Jun and others.

The time is now approaching Si time, which is less than nine o'clock in the morning.

At this moment, the sun has risen early, and many farmers in Wancheng are working hard in their fields, hoping to have a good harvest this year.

The thatched hut where Zhang Yan is now is located near the farmland of several self-cultivating farmers in Wancheng, and it looks a bit lonely.

In fact, as early as about half an hour ago, Zhang Yan had already arrived at Ma Jun's recent "base" outside the city, that is, near the farmland where he is now.

Since the construction team under Zhang Yan is currently in a busy state, these people are either building the future Wan Guohou Mansion or are busy with Wei Xian's side on the design and revision of the large library, so none of them are suitable. Ma Jun at the experimental site simply lived temporarily outside the city near this thatched hut near the farmland.

Although this place is a little crude, but for Ma Jun who is busy with his business, there is nothing bad about it.

Unfortunately, shortly before Zhang Yan arrived here, Ma Jun was busy going down to the farmland with a few assistants to check the current growth of the crops.

After coming and going, Zhang Yan was left here.

Wearing a simple kapok cloth mask, Zhang Yan stared at the green field near the hut through the gate not far away, and couldn't help being a little lost for a while.

"Hey, that's great..."

"If we wait until this crop of grain is mature and harvested, then Lujiang shouldn't be too short of grain this year."

Looking at the crops that were much better in density and growth than those in the Sili territory, Zhang Yan kept fantasizing about the series of actions he would make in Lujiang after these crops matured.

But it didn't take long before this delusion was interrupted by a faint stench.

At the same time, a burst of footsteps sounded not far outside the room.

……

"I have seen the lord!"

From a distance, Zhang Yan saw a young boy of fourteen or five years old who bowed his hands to him, as a greeting.

It was none other than Ma Jun, the eldest son of the Fufeng Ma family whom Zhang Yan had not seen for a long time, and Ma Jun, a great inventor of science in the original Three Kingdoms period.

Smiling and beckoning to the other party, Zhang Yan saw that Ma Jun was wearing a mask similar to his own style, sitting opposite him sweating profusely.

Along with it, there was naturally a faint fishy smell.
