As soon as Liu Xun's voice fell, everyone was thinking hard. The name of this institution must sum up the scholars and the skilled craftsmen together, and it cannot favor either side. So everyone dare not speak easily.
Liu Xun saw that everyone was speechless for a while, so he smiled and said, "Let’s call Xiancaiyuan. It means that as long as they are talented, both scholars and craftsmen are talented. Xiancaiyuan can have two branches, namely academies. And the Academy of Science and Technology."
"Okay, the lord's proposal is really great!"
Everyone praised that Liu Xun's proposal perfectly solved this problem.
It seemed that something suddenly occurred to Liu Xun when he worked as a doctor, and said to Liu Xun: "Lord, I heard Pu Yuan say that a craftsman talented in Xiangyang has recently come, and his craftsmanship level is not below Pu Yuan."
As soon as Liu Xun heard it, he was energetic again, his eyes gleaming towards Yiji, who can be appreciated by the equipment wizards, and his craftsmanship is by no means mediocre. Thinking of this, Liu Xun's heartbeat immediately started to accelerate again, his eyes were full of enthusiasm, talent, as long as it is a talent, he can't let it go.
Yiji smiled bitterly and said, "This man has some talents, but he didn't come to the Xiancai Academy, nor did he come to you."
"According to what you said, this person has no intention of getting promoted and making a fortune, so what will I do in Jingzhou?" Liu Xun was a little confused.
Seeing that Liu Xun was at a loss and a little anxious to know the answer, Yi replied, "This person is from Fufeng, Ma Jun." Yi did not notice Liu Xun's wonderful expression at the time, and said to himself: " Speaking of this person, he has the same hobbies as Pu Yuan. They both like to invent and make some weird things. Recently, Pu Yuan is transforming the "Thunder Car". It seems that he has encountered some problems, so he invited Ma Jun to come and explore together. Let alone, Ma Jun is really not simple, he has unique insights in ordnance and manufacturing."
Xu Shu asked suspiciously, "Isn't the Thunderbolt car very powerful? How to reform it?"
Zhuge Liang also has a certain understanding of the performance of the Thunderbolt, so he smiled and said: "The Thunderbolt is powerful, but it is not very maneuverable and it is not very convenient to move. Maybe Pu Yuan wants to make improvements in these areas."
"The military division is worthy of Wolong, he knows everything." Yiji tut praised after hearing it. "Huh? Lord, what's wrong with you?"
I saw Liu Xun dumbfounded. He didn't listen to what Yiji was saying at all. Instead, he mumbled to himself: "Another person who can stir the world."
Looking at Liu Xun's weird reaction, apart from Zhuge Liang, Xu Shu, Yi Ji, and Zhao Yun really couldn't figure it out. They just mentioned one person, who is not a big Confucian celebrity, so it's necessary to make such an excited expression! As for
At this time, Liu Xun can no longer pretend to be calm. If the Confucian celebrities are talents in governing the country, then Ma Jun is the pioneer of the progress of the times. In particular, Ma Jun’s mechanical invention in ordnance is unique and innovative. , Can exert extraordinary effects on the battlefield.
"Where is Ma Jun? I'm going to see him now." Liu Xun said without hesitation, his expression could not be concealed. I had heard of Ma Jun's name before. It was not that I had not sent someone to find Ma Jun, but there was no news. Unexpectedly, there is nowhere to look after breaking through the iron shoes. It takes no effort to get the talent that I dream of, but he is already working under his command, and he doesn't know it.
"Lord, Ma Jun is in the manufacturing base of the Xiancaiyuan in the suburbs at this time, or I will send someone to call him over now." I was embarrassed by Liu Xun's somewhat reckless behavior. You just want to pretend You don’t need to be so impatient if you look thirsty for a courteous corporal!
"No, I will go personally. You can all stay and let Yiji accompany me. He is more familiar with it."
Liu Xun acted decisively, stood up, then pulled up the unprepared Yiji, and said in his mouth: "I am so talented, I should condescend to show my sincerity, otherwise I will not regret it for a lifetime. Let's talk about it. I haven't seen Pu Yuan either. I often hear Kong Ming mention it. I just saw him today."
Yiji didn't have the ability to resist at all, so he was dragged by Liu Xun all the way out, still looking impatient. Yiji really wanted to cry without tears. If you want to go, go, why bother to pull me up. You have to know that the manufacturing base of Xiancaiyuan is built in the mountains ten miles outside the city. How long will it take to come and go!
If Liu Xun was allowed to know what Yiji thought at this time, he would definitely give him a few chestnuts without hesitation.
When they arrived outside the mansion, someone had already prepared their horses. Liu Xun and Yiji both mounted their horses and rushed to the manufacturing base. After flying for more than half an hour, he stopped.
What greeted everyone was a low valley surrounded by lofty mountains, surrounded by deserted, primitive style.
Because the road ahead was difficult for traffic and horses to move, everyone finally reached the destination after a long journey. The scene in front of him made Liu Xun open his mouth, looking shocked and unimaginable. all. Compared with the inaccessibility of people outside, this place gives people a feeling of enthusiasm. There are scattered workshops everywhere, the flow of people shuttles, and some strange things are dazzling.
"How about it? It's okay here, Lord." Yi Ji asked respectfully.
Liu Xun understood in his heart, no wonder Zhuge Liang asked himself for so much gold, which was a full two hundred thousand taels. Seeing the scene in front of him, Liu Xun felt that the money was worth it. There are advanced military equipment and some products that are conducive to the development of the times. With them, Liu Xun has enough confidence to win the world and rejuvenate the big man.
While Liu Xun was watching carefully, a very strangely dressed patrolman spotted them, and moved quickly, surrounding them directly in the direction of Liu Xun. Because before entering, Liu Xun had left the guards beside him on guard at the outskirts of the valley, so only Liu Xun and Yi Jiu came in at this time.
At a glance, more than a dozen soldiers knew that they had undergone training, each step was steady, and the figure was agile, and the hostility in their eyes was like a sharp sword shooting at the opponent. Before Liu Xun responded, he heard a burst of clothes. In the whistling sound that rolled up, this group of armored soldiers blocked Liu Xun's retreat in the form of outflanks. The Fang Li in their hands was shining with a dignified cold light and pointed at the tips of their noses.
Seeing the doubt on Liu Xun’s face, Yi Ji smiled and said, “They recognize the left general token of the lord.” After Liu Xun heard it, he did not explain anything to the soldier in front of him, but took out a token from his arms. , Handed it to the leading soldier.
Upon seeing this, the soldier took the token vigilantly, but after taking a look, his sharp eyes flashed with surprise, and he conditioned his reflex to retract Fang Lu, and bowed to Liu Xun and said, "Lord!"
Seeing this, the surrounding soldiers also understood who the young man in front of them was, and bowed in prayer.
"Well, such an important place must be guarded by heavy troops." Liu Xun was pleased that not only was the base well guarded, but he was fighting outside, and he didn't bother about the base. However, these soldiers still recognized themselves, resolutely obeyed their orders, and were very loyal.
After Liu Xun and Yijiyi had passed through several guard posts, they entered the interior of the manufacturing base.
The military workshop occupies a large area, and the walls are extremely strong. Ordinary siege equipment can't break through at all. In addition, the walls are built with crenels, which can be used to display bows and crossbows. From the outside, they look more like a solid fortress.
Entering inside, Liu Xun felt a lot of heat coming from all around, the sweat on his forehead began to intensively, and the back had begun to get wet. The degree of dryness and heat here was basically two worlds outside.
The entire military workshop is divided into several areas, weapons area, armor area, armor area, and there are also areas dedicated to the development of harnesses, chariots, and crossbows. The craftsmen are assigned to their respective divisions, performing their duties, and constantly researching and developing them. , Innovation, manufacturing, production, or transformation and improvement.
After passing through a few areas, Liu Xun entered a large research and development area, and he saw several giants in front of him, and several models with only skeleton support, like giant beasts, opening their blood basins and mouths, as if to swallow them. all.
Surrounded by busy craftsmen, constantly measuring and improving the models, on a circular desk in the center, two people are constantly pointing at a drawing, saying a few words from time to time , But looking at their faces with sullen expressions and extremely fierce words, it should be a disagreement that caused a difference.
One of the two is Pu Yuan. As for the other, not a member of the base in terms of clothes, it is Ma Jun who was invited by Pu Yuan.
Liu Xun was naturally very happy to see the real person, no matter the two seemed to be quarreling, he hurried forward to say hello.
"I'm engaged, who is this?" Pu Yuan and Ma Jun noticed Liu Xun coming by coincidentally. Pu Yuan and Ma Jun didn't know Liu Xun and asked with a look of surprise.
"This is our lord, Jingzhou Mu, General Zuo?" Yi Yi introduced happily.
Liu Xun saw that Pu Yuan's face was stained with black and white, and his original white and literary face looked a little rough, but even so, the wise and deep temperament of Pu Yuan remained undiminished.
"I'll wait to see the lord." Pu Yuan and Ma Jun knelt down to pay respect.
"Everyone, please, Pu Yuan, your thunderbolt car is very powerful, I heard that you are going to improve it recently?" Liu Xun stepped forward to lift the two up and asked happily.
Pu Yuan looked at Liu Xun excitedly, and said, "The lord already knows. I am currently transforming the Thunderbolt. If it can be successfully developed, it will be twice the result with half the effort for the future siege." After speaking, Pu Yuan again Pointing to Ma Jun, he introduced to Liu Xun: "This is my good friend, Ma Jun, a man from Fufeng, with the word Deheng. Deheng is not only talented, but also knows how to invent. This time I came here to solve a problem for me. "
Liu Xun had never left Ma Jun since the very beginning. Hearing Pu Yuan’s introduction at this time, he would naturally not let go of the chance to befriend Ma Jun. He said to Ma Jun, "Jingzhou Liu Xun, I’ve seen Mr. Mr. has a brilliant and ingenious craftsmanship, and he hasn't seen him even after several invitations. It is Liu Xun's honor to be able to see him today and to invite him to come."
From the information Liu Xun learned, Liu Xun knew that Ma Jun’s talent must be no less than Pu Yuan, so he wanted to put Ma Jun under his command...
