The Wei Dynasty is full of talents. In addition to Du Yu, a famous inventor in history, there is another heavyweight in the Wei Dynasty.
After Cao Mao took office, he sent his ministers to inquire about his whereabouts, and finally determined his residence.
Cao Mao was wearing very ordinary clothes, like a noble prince, sitting in a carriage. The driver was Zhang Hua, and Cheng Ji and others were naturally placed in front and behind the emperor to protect his safety secretly.
The carriage shuttled back and forth in Luoyang City, and finally stopped in front of an ordinary residence in the east city of Luoyang. The place was very lively, with children playing back and forth. There were also a few old people in the distance. At this moment, they looked at the carriage with some vigilance and stopped. He dared not approach those children.
Cao Mao looked around, smiled and said to Zhang Hua, "Knock on the door."
Zhang Hua immediately stepped forward and knocked on the door.
Soon, a servant opened the door and saw Zhang Hua outside. The man was shocked and quickly saluted.
"May I ask, is Mr. Ma at home?"
"Yes, yes!"
"Just say that a junior came to pay homage to me. This is my famous thorn."
Zhang Hua directly used his famous thorn, and the man took it and rushed into the courtyard.
Cao Mao stood behind Zhang Hua, his eyes full of expectation.
The person he came to see this time was Ma Jun, who was in charge of the matter.
This gentleman was from Fufeng and came from a poor family. He served as a doctor during the reign of Emperor Wen. Later, he improved the loom during the reign of Emperor Ming. He made great contributions and was promoted to Shizhong.
The Twelve-finger Loom was his invention, which greatly improved its efficiency.
He also invented many other inventions, including the keel waterwheel, the rotary stone machine, and he also improved the Zhuge Liannu.
In short, his skills and creativity surprised everyone at the time. Cao Xi once personally recommended Ma Jun to Cao Shuang, thinking that this person could be reused.
But, General Cao Shuang is still at the same level as before. In one sentence: It's not for the public!
It is worth mentioning that Pei Xiu disliked Ma Jun very much. After learning that Ma Jun invented the stone machine, Pei Xiu was very disdainful and went to argue with Ma Jun.
Like Deng Ai, Ma Jun suffered from a stutter since childhood and had trouble speaking.
Pei Xiu's behavior of arguing with Ma Jun was undoubtedly a race against a cripple.
Sure enough, after a wonderful debate, Pei Xiu won a resounding victory. Ma Jun hesitated and hesitated, unable to refute Pei Xiu at all.
Pei Xiu was very proud and always talked about it with others. Later, when he told Fu Xuan, the governor of Hongnong, Fu Xuan felt that what Pei Xiu did was very unfair.
Later, Cao Shuang fell and Ma Jun was deposed along with many ministers. He lived in Luoyang and continued to work on his various inventions.
Cao Mao just waited for a moment and saw someone walking quickly to the door.
When he saw this man for the first time, Cao Mao couldn't connect him with Ma Jun in his mind.
This was a rather sturdy old man with thick eyebrows and a somewhat fierce look. He was looking at Zhang Hua in front of him and then at Cao Mao beside him.
"Later, later, later life, I don't recognize you."
Ma Jun spoke.
Zhang Hua hurried to pay homage, took the initiative to give up his seat, and said, "Please forgive me, I am accompanying my monarch to pay homage to you."
Only then did Ma Jun see Cao Mao standing aside.
Looking at this young man with a heroic face, Ma Jun was still puzzled, "This gentleman?"
"Mr. Ma, can we go in and talk?"
"good."
Ma Jun invited the two of them inside. The mansion was not too luxurious. Cao Mao saw many parts randomly placed in the courtyard. These parts were of various kinds. Even Cao Mao couldn't see what they were used for. of.
They just walked into the inner room. Ma Jun's inner room was even more exaggerated and looked a bit messy, with various sketches placed everywhere.
Cao Mao's eyes lit up.
Ma Jun asked the two of them to sit down, and he took the upper seat.
"Later, queen, descendant, whose family are you a descendant of?"
Cao Mao smiled and replied: "He is the son of the Cao family."
Ma Jun was stunned, "Are you from the Anxiang Hou family?"
Cao Mao nodded, "That's right."
Ma Jun sighed, "Marquis Anxiang is a good man. I thought he had no surviving heirs."
The Marquis of Anxiang mentioned by Ma Jun was Cao Shuang's younger brother Cao Xi.
Compared with Cao Shuang, a smart general, Cao Xi was pretty good. Like Pei Xiu, he despised Ma Jun at first, but later after seeing Ma Jun's many inventions, he was immediately convinced and actively recommended him to Cao Shuang.
The relationship between the two is still good.
However, Cao Xi had already been executed by the three tribes and had no heirs left in the world.
The servants serving them inside vaguely sensed something was wrong.
The three clans of Anxiang Hou were all killed, not to mention their heirs, even their relatives were all killed. Where did this come from?
He looked at the owner of the house, but it was difficult to remind him in front of the guests.
Ma Jun has been at home all these years, never leaving. He was originally a taciturn person, he had few friends, he didn't interact with others, and he basically didn't know what happened in the temple.
Cao Mao said with a smile: "Mr. Ma, I came here this time just to see you. It seems that your body is still very strong."

"Um."
"I heard others say: You are the most famous person in the world."
"Speaking of which, I also like making utensils and have made a few drawings. Only when I saw these in your house did I realize how crude my drawings were!"
This sentence obviously aroused Ma Jun's curiosity.
Even a mechanical master like him is often looked down upon by others, and few noble people have such a hobby.
"Jun, Jun, a picture of a gentleman?"
Cao Mao looked at Zhang Hua, and Zhang Hua quickly took out a few drawings. These were the drawings that Cao Mao had sent to Guanqiu Jian in the past.
Ma Jun snatched it away, making Zhang Hua feel a little embarrassed.
Ma Jun looked at it carefully for a moment and then said: "It's rough, rough, but the idea is very good, not bad."
Ma Jun saw the exquisiteness of the new plow at a glance and said: "If this thing is promoted, it will benefit greatly!"
Cao Mao nodded, "Yes, it has been promoted to various places."
"Mr. Magong, I have always felt that these new instruments are the real tools for governing the world. The looms you improved are only widely used around Luoyang until now. This is simply a waste of money."
"The emergence of these new tools can change the times. How many soldiers can your improved continuous crossbow save on the battlefield? How many people can your loom and this new plow save?"
Ma Jun didn't answer. He was not good at speaking.
Even if he agreed with Cao Mao's words in his heart, he could only nod in support.
Cao Mao said seriously: "Today's temples lack an organization to promote and produce new tools."
"The world has never lacked capable people like you, it just lacks people who can reuse you."
Ma Jun shook his head, "No, no, no intention of getting an official title."
"Hahaha, this is not for the official title, this is to promote your skills, to pass on your skills, and to change the world!"
Cao Mao said loudly.
The slave felt something bad again.
He felt an indescribable feeling from this young man, as if the world was at his fingertips.
Ma Jun was also very surprised. He shook his head again, "It's difficult, it's difficult."
"Don't worry, it may have been difficult in the past, but it won't be in the future. In a few days, I would like to invite you to a banquet. Don't get me wrong. Although it is a banquet, it is not a banquet for casual conversation. It is a banquet. Private dinner.”
"I will send someone to pick you up when the time comes."
Cao Mao and Ma Jun started chatting like this, and then they talked about some of the designs in their minds. When Cao Mao asked if there was a way to reduce the cost of paper, Ma Jun stopped stammering. He explained the papermaking process to Cao Mao in detail. It also stated that it can be tested with different low-priced raw materials to see if the cost can be further reduced.
When Cao Mao talked about the principle of printing books, Ma Jun became even more excited. He even took Cao Mao to visit his "computer room".
Cao Mao saw many of Ma Jun's half-finished inventions.
The two chatted like this for more than an hour. If it weren't for the important things, Cao Mao would not be willing to leave just now.
At this moment, Ma Jun was shining in Cao Mao's eyes.
This is a real talent, and its importance is no less important than that of Zhong Hui, Malong and others.
This person has no pursuit of official titles and is a mature technical geek.
Cao Mao said goodbye to Ma Jun happily. Ma Jun then remembered something and asked quickly: "Return, return, don't know your name?"
"My name is Mao, you can just call me Yanshi."
"well."
Ma Jun politely sent Cao Mao out. These days, it is really not easy to find a young man who values equipment so much and has such imagination.
I'm not alone.
Ma Jun was somewhat relieved and sent Cao Mao out of the mansion. When he turned around, he saw the trembling slave.
This servant has followed him for many years, and the relationship between the two is extremely close.
Ma Jun asked in confusion: "You, you, why are you shaking? It's such a warm day."
The servant trembled and said: "Master, if you don't go out, you don't know anything. The county government has an order: after the Yuan Dynasty is changed, avoid taboos."
"Avoid, avoid, avoid"
Ma Jun suddenly remembered something.
The next moment, his face turned pale and he began to tremble.
Sitting in the carriage, Zhang Hua asked puzzledly: "Why doesn't your Majesty directly explain his identity?"
Cao Mao shook his head, "If we knew that the emperor was coming, would we still hear his candid words?"
"I didn't know him in the past. I just heard his name. Only by meeting like this can I understand this person. Besides, I don't think this person is enthusiastic about fame and wealth. If I meet him as an emperor, he will be prevaricating. ”
"It's okay. After a few days, he will naturally know my identity."
"If you continue to send people to protect him, if you want to revive Wei, don't you have to rely on this person?"
Zhang Hua was a little surprised. The emperor's evaluation of this person was really too high.
This was the first time he heard the emperor praise someone so highly.
Can that old man and his strange pieces of wood and iron really bring down the Wei Dynasty?
