Chapter 21 Ma Jun, the master craftsman, visits the boudoir at night(1/2)
The Ma Jun in Jiang Yan’s memory was from Fufeng, Wei State.
And he was a famous mechanical inventor during the Three Kingdoms period.
To call him "Guo Gong", the top title in the craftsman circle, is an underestimation.
At least you have to be called a "master craftsman of a generation".
Ma Jun has stuttered since he was a child. He is not good at speaking but is good at thinking.
Before he served as a minister of Wei State, he had improved the silk weaving machine.
Later, when he was in office, he restored a compass car and made a stone-turning machine.
When he was old, he improved Zhuge Liannu and invented the keel waterwheel...
In a short life, there are countless amazing works.
Ma Jun looks like he is in his early twenties now.
Strong in physique and full of energy. This is the time when your talents are at their peak.
I don’t know why he came to Shouchun to become an ordinary blacksmith.
This is a very capable person, he must be poached!
When they met for the first time, Jiang Yan was interested in recruiting talents.
Even if you can't use it yourself, poaching Cao Cao's corner in the future is a sure-fire deal.
Unfortunately, Jiang Yan did not have the capital to recruit talents with large sums of money at this time.
"Jiang Yan, Mr. Ma, whom I have admired for a long time, is here to pay my respects." Jiang Yan returned the greeting politely.
Not only did he use his real name, he also changed the other person’s title.
Ma Jun was confused.
The other party just knew your name, so why did you change it to a name that you have admired for a long time?
He is an ordinary blacksmith who usually makes swords, plows and palladium. How did he become so famous?
This compliment is a bit much.
Jiang Yan didn't take it seriously. The other party deserved what he did.
Since I don’t have money yet, I can only offer something that can attract the other party.
"Mr. Ma, are there pens and paper in the store?" Jiang Yan asked.
"No, no." Ma Jun scratched the back of his head awkwardly.
He usually likes to delve into some strange things. But this is a blacksmith shop, and wood and paper can easily cause open flames.
Moreover, the production of Caihou paper at this time was still very crude and expensive, and it was not really popular among most people.
As soon as he heard this, he knew that Jiang Yan was indeed from a wealthy family.
Jiang Yan thought for a while, then found a piece of coal, squatted on the ground and started drawing.
He originally wanted to draw a Zhuge Liannu, but he considered that the crossbow might be a controlled weapon at this time.
It was replaced by a simpler horseshoe, commonly known as a horseshoe.
This thing is simple and practical, and the Romans knew it in the 1st century. But China has not yet mastered this technology.
Ma Jun first saw Jiang Yan, whose identity was mysterious, draw an arc on the ground.
I thought he wanted to create a pair of unpopular ring blades.
Unexpectedly, the circle in the end became thinner and thinner, and not only was it not sealed, but it also branched out.
It's like a pair of legs deliberately walking like a duck.
"Please, please, what is this? What does it do?"
When Ma Jun saw the other party throwing the coal and getting up after finishing the painting, he finally couldn't help but ask.
Just let it go if the thing the other party drew looks weird,
What is the use of the grooves and parallel holes on both sides?
Even with his many years of experience, he can't see any hesitation.
Jiang Yan pretended to smile mysteriously.
"I'll let you know tomorrow night when you follow the same pattern."
After saying that, he turned around and left the blacksmith shop.
"Don't worry! I will definitely make it before tomorrow night!" Ma Jun responded loudly to the figure.
At this moment, it seemed that he was so excited that even his stuttering was cured instantly.
He is really mysterious, and he wouldn't even tell me where he lives.
Otherwise, I really want to ask for advice during the day.
It shouldn't take long to make this simple iron tool.
But the secret of what it was used for was as uncomfortable as a cat's claws scratching his heart.
It seems we can only wait until tomorrow night to find out.
Ma Jun sighed with regret in his heart.
It's not that Jiang Yan didn't want to, he took the opportunity to draw some more attractive cakes for Ma Shenjiang, who was delighted to see Liexin.
But he was afraid that he would draw too many cakes at once. Seeing that Ma Jun, who was not very wealthy, suddenly mentioned the cost of materials,
He has a lot of money, and he can't even afford a five-baht coin.
That would be embarrassing.
While the night was still early, Jiang Yan recalled the direction Lu Lingqi left during the day.
He plans to go to the other party's residence to inquire about it.
If the Yan mother and daughter came here to marry Yuan Shu, it would definitely affect their future plans.
They didn't know that Lu Bu had been rescued by them, and he was probably on his way here.
Lu Bu doesn't have high ambitions, and he dotes on Yan's mother and daughter too much.
If you want him to be willing to work for you, you have to find a way to prevent their family from meeting prematurely.
Once he lies in the gentle land of harmony and beauty, most of Lu Bu, a peerless warrior, will be useless.
You have to hang a carrot in front of his mouth that he can never bite, so that he can keep moving forward.
Jiang Yan walked to the alley where Lu Lingqi disappeared.
Seeing no one around, he shook his arms and pressed his legs.
The fastest way to find someone is of course to look high and look far.
Otherwise, would he still have to knock on doors one by one and ask?
Hey.
Jiang Yan gave a soft drink and lifted his body up.
There was a clang, and he stepped on the eaves tiles next to him.
Suddenly I thought to myself, "Oh no!"
He does have the leg strength of a red rabbit, but his body is not as light as a cat.
Just because you have enough horsepower doesn't mean you can do it easily. It's because you were negligent.
"Who!"
Someone poked his head out of the grass under the eaves in horror.
Immediately afterwards, a rustling sound came from the grass half a man tall.
Jiang Yan naturally did not answer, and quickly lowered his body and lay still on the eaves.
In the yard, there is only a lantern hanging on the corridor in the distance.
With that little light, it was impossible to see clearly what was on the dark eaves.
After a while, there was still no movement on the eaves.
Two white bodies sneaked out of the grass.
One of them was cursing while putting on his clothes:
"Where did the unscrupulous wild cat come from? It spoiled my young master's mood!"
"Don't touch it a few times, it's too late."
Another short and thin figure followed behind him, with a hint of resentment between his brows and eyes.
It wasn't until the two of them disappeared under the corridor together that Jiang Yan stood up from the shadows.
