Yang Qing stayed in Mianyang for another five days and saw that the construction of the camps in Yangping and Shima was on track, so he returned to Nanzheng with peace of mind. Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the prefect's mansion, Wu Que, whom he had not heard from for a long time, suddenly appeared in front of him.
"Quijian Fujun."
Yang Qing was stunned for a moment, and then he was overjoyed when he saw the appearance of the visitor: "Shu Qi, are you back?"
"Yes, I won't be back until the day before I take up my duties."
Yang Qing nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, how is the situation?"
"Your Majesty, you are lucky to have fulfilled your destiny!" Wu Que looked determined.
"Okay, very good." After hearing this answer, the smile on Yang Qing's face grew wider: "Where are you now?"
"I will first arrange for Mr. Ma Jun and his family to rest at the hotel." Wu Que replied.
Yang Qing said: "Yes. Come on, let's go into the house first, and you can tell me in detail about going to Beidi."
After that, he led Wu Que and Zhou Xing into the hall. After the three of them sat down, Wu Que recounted what was going on in the Wei Kingdom these days.
It turned out that after Wu Que set off from Chengdu, he disguised himself, stayed overnight, and sneaked into Fufeng more than half a month later. After some inquiries, he successfully found Ma Jun, who was well-known in the local area.
After a carefully designed acquaintance, Wu Que successfully contacted Ma Jun. After two days of testing, Wu Que was confident. On the night of the third day, he revealed his identity and intention to Ma Jun.
Ma Jun was shocked when he heard this. He never expected that this new friend would be from Shu, let alone that the Hanzhong prefect of Shu sent him to recruit him. Ma Jun was frightened and panicked for a long time. Come.
Upon seeing this, Wu Que took out Yang Qing's autographed letter. After reading it, Ma Jun's inner panic gradually disappeared. Seeing that the dignified minister of Shu and the governor of Hanzhong valued him so much, he couldn't help but feel proud.
Wu Que saw Ma Jun's intention, and quickly struck the iron while the iron was hot to persuade him. Finally, he succeeded in persuading Ma Jun. After a day of careful consideration, Ma Jun agreed to move his family to Shu to serve the Han Dynasty.
So under Wu Que's careful arrangement, Ma Jun and his family left their hometown in Fufeng early in the morning under the pretext of visiting relatives. Although Ma Jun was well-known in the local area, the Wei government did not pay much attention to him because of his status as a craftsman. In addition, it was difficult for others to imagine that Ma Jun's family moved to Shu, so the group successfully left Fufeng County.
As soon as they left Fufeng County, Wu Que asked everyone to change their appearance, and finally returned to the Han Dynasty unimpeded.
"Okay, Uncle Qi, you did a great job on this errand. I'll give you a credit." After hearing Wu Que's report, Yang Qing said happily.
Wu Que said: "Thank you, Mr. Fu. This is what I should do in my humble position. By the way, I have one more thing to present to Mr. Fu." After saying that, he stood up and took out a rolled silk cloth from his arms. Gave it to Yang Qing.
Yang Qing took it and unfolded it, lowered his head and looked down. It turned out to be a map with the words Fufeng, Tianshui, Nan'an, etc. on it. In addition, cities, mountains, rivers, and roads were all marked on the map.
This time when Wu Que went north to Cao Wei, in addition to recruiting Ma Jun, he was also ordered to survey the terrain of the north. Although the Han Dynasty had sent countless detailed workers to the Wei Kingdom to survey the terrain over the years, the maps of the Wei Kingdom, especially Yongliang, were already extremely detailed. , but it is always good to explore it more when Yang Qing wants to. After all, no matter how precise today's technical map is, there are always places that are missed.
"Okay, Shu Qi, you have made another great contribution." Although surveying the map was only a secondary task, Yang Qing could see that Wu Que still put his heart into it.
Wu Que said: "I don't dare to take it. Time is short. This humble position is just a rough survey."
"It's already very good. It can be used for mutual verification with other maps in the future." Yang Qing smiled and said, "By the way, Shu Qi, how many people does Mr. Ma Jun's family have?"
"There are four people. Mr. Ma Jun's parents died young, and there are only his wife and two children in the family." Wu Que replied.
Yang Qing hummed and said, "It's getting late today. I'll visit Mr. Ma Jun's family tomorrow morning." Then he looked at Zhou Xing and said, "By the way, Demao, later on you go to the county temple to inform Li County Order, please ask him to come with me to see Mr. Ma Jun tomorrow morning."
"No." Zhou Xing responded with clasped fists.
Early the next morning, Yang Qing and his party arrived at Nanzhengguanyi. After learning about it, Ma Jun quickly led them
Family members went out to greet him.
"Master Fu, that is Mr. Deheng." Wu Que pointed to the man walking at the front and introduced Yang Qing softly.
Yang Qing nodded slightly and hurriedly greeted him: "Yang Qing has met Mr. Deheng."
Ma Jun had already known about Yang Qing's life from Wu Gaoqiao. When he saw that it was the Hanzhong prefect saluting him, he quickly bowed down and said, "Jun Shen, see Yang, Mr. Yang Fu." After that, he pulled Jia Xiaoyi behind him to salute.
He stuttered not because of nervousness, but because he had stuttered since childhood. This was one of the reasons why Wei officials did not pay attention to him.
Yang Qing quickly helped him up and said, "There is no need to be polite, Mr. Deheng." He then smiled gently at his wife and children and said, "Everyone, please get up quickly."
Only then did Yang Qing see Ma Jun's appearance clearly. He was about in his early thirties. He was thin, with dark skin, and his hands were covered with calluses. He was probably from making machinery all the time. His wife Jing Chai wears a cloth skirt, has a dignified appearance, and is about the same age as him.
There were two children, a boy and a girl. The boy was about eight or nine years old, and the girl was about five or six years old. Perhaps because they had met so many strangers, the two children looked a little reserved, but they were still children at heart, and their eyes could not be concealed. curious.
"This is Li Mingting, the magistrate of Nanzheng County." Wu Que introduced Li Yu to Ma Jun again.
Ma Jun then led his family members to salute Li Yu: "I have met the Ming court."
"This is the disciple Zhou Caoyu."
Wu Que pointed at Zhou Xing and introduced him, and Ma Jun's family also came forward to meet him. After everyone finished reciting the ceremony, Yi Cheng led everyone to the lobby to serve tea.
"Mr. Deheng, how was your family staying here last night? If you are not used to it, I will ask them to find another place for you." After sitting down, Yang Qing asked with concern.
Ma Jun replied: "Thank you, Mr. Fu, for your concern. My family is accustomed to living here, so there is no need for trouble."
"That's good." Yang Qing said, "Sir, if you need anything, just tell Yi Cheng or Wu Que that you don't have to be cautious when you arrive in Hanzhong. From now on, we are our own people."
"Yes, thank you very much, Mr. Fu."
"Sir is a rare craftsman in the world. I have heard about it and admired him for a long time, so I sent Wu Que to Fufeng to ask for him. Fortunately, he agreed and moved his family south to Hanzhong. In the future, he will help me and the Han Dynasty will flourish. I got another big help!" Yang Qing said with a smile.
With Pu Yuan Zhuyu in front of him, Li Yu knew how much such skilled craftsmen could help the country, so he nodded and said, "Yes, Mr. Fu, Mr. Deheng's ability to turn from darkness to light is a blessing to the country!"
Seeing that Yang Qing, the governor of a county, and Li Yu, the magistrate of a large county, valued him so much, Ma Jun was quite moved. Although he had already known from Yang Qing's handwritten letter that Yang Qing valued him, but now he heard it with his own ears. Yang Qing talked about him as a helper of the Han Dynasty, and he couldn't help but burst into tears. The officials of Cao Wei had never treated him with such courtesy.
Ma Jun stood up and bowed his hands in front of him, saying, "What are you doing, what virtues are there, how capable you are, how capable you are of being able to get a house, and the king of the house is so valuable and respected!" He was so excited that his stuttering became more serious.
Yang Qing stood up and walked to Ma Jun's seat to help him up. He held his hand and said solemnly: "I would like to appoint Mr. Zheng as the county commander. I hope you will not refuse."
Sikong generally refers to Sikong, one of the three princes, but there were many official positions named Sikong in the Han Dynasty. Some dynasty officials had Sikong in their yamen, such as the Shaofu officials were Zuo Sikong, You Sikong, and Zhong Sikong. Other kingdoms, There is also the title of Sikong official in the official system of counties, counties and the military.
The commander of the county, Kong Nai, was an official of the county governor's office and was in charge of the county's civil engineering and government craftsmen. This position was just right for Ma Jun.
"Thank you so much for your love. Jun dares to disobey." Ma Jun did not refuse, but directly accepted.
He had always wanted to become an official, but he had been unsuccessful in Cao Wei for many years. Seeing that Yang Qing valued him so much, of course he was happy to accept him.
Since agreeing to Nantou Hanzhong, Ma Jun also asked Wu Que to inquire about many things about Yang Qing, thus knowing that Yang Qing was not an ordinary county guard, but a rising star in the court who was highly valued by Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of the Shu Han Dynasty.
How could he not be deeply moved by such a great talent who specially sent people thousands of miles to invite him? In addition, Cao Wei usurped the Han Dynasty for only seven years, so he didn't have much affection for the Wei state. The memory of the four hundred years of Yanhan was still in his mind.
Ji Han is naturally willing to become an official.
Hearing Ma Jun's consent, Yang Qing was immediately overjoyed. He smiled and said to Zhou Xing: "Demao, we will hold a banquet in the mansion tonight to welcome Mr. Deheng."
"Yes, Mr. Fu."
