Cao Zhi escaped from the main room, turned into a side road, and was about to return to the back room.
"Ming Gong, Ming Gong."
Mi Heng shouted and chased after him.
"Ming Gong is back." Mi Heng said, shaking his big head.
"Ah! You haven't provoked anyone these days, have you?" Cao Zhi said as he pulled Mi Heng over and walked side by side.
"That can, that's me..."
"Okay, okay, as long as it's okay." Cao Zhi saw Mi Heng blowing his beard and staring, getting anxious again, so he quickly interrupted him.
Mi Heng's big face suddenly turned from cloudy to sunny, and he said with a wide smile: "Congratulations to Mr. Ming, congratulations to Mr. Ming."
"Ah! Where does joy come from?"
"It's great joy that Ming Gong is about to be appointed as the captain of Yangzhou." As he spoke, Ni Heng let out an excited fart.
"What? I didn't even agree to Chen Shijun, how come..." Cao Zhi looked confused. Even if Mi Heng was well-informed and knew that Chen Wen invited him to be an official in Yangzhou last night, he wouldn't
So powerful, Cao Zhi didn't even know what official position Chen Wen planned to entrust to him, so how did he, Mi Heng, know about it.
Mi Heng looked at Cao Zhi, who had a bright face, and said excitedly: "Early in the morning, Deng Biejia from the state capital had already arrived. You and your grandfather were chatting, so you didn't dare to disturb me. I received him, and Deng Biejia left last night."
He told me everything, and even hinted that Duke Ming's previous official position in the capital was not low, so when he came to Yangzhou, he could not wrong Duke Ming. At least he should be entrusted with the post of "Captain".
"Is Chen Wen in a hurry? I haven't promised him yet!"
"Ming Gong! If you don't miss the opportunity, it will never come back! Ming Gong..." Mi Heng said anxiously.
"Hey...I'm not even in a hurry? Why are you in a hurry? Let's talk in the study..." As he said that, Cao Zhi picked up Mi Heng and headed towards the study.
Although the other courtyard is not big, it also has a study room, which is usually used by Cao Zhi.
As soon as Mi Heng entered the study, he was about to speak in a hurry. Cao Zhi stretched out his hand to force him to sit down and said: "With the official system of the Han Dynasty, how many captains can be established in a state capital?"
Mi Heng was stunned by the question, adjusted his sitting posture and said: "The state capital can have one to two captains,"
"Oh! That's good, so as not to harm the relationship with Captain Zao." Cao Zhiluo thought.
"Ming Gong is talking about Chen Wen's second son-in-law?"
"Yes, you gained a lot in one morning?"
quot;Hey, there... But I heard from Deng Biejia that although Zao Di was an honest man, he was not a talented commander. Now he is officially appointed as the captain of Yangzhou, but he will just leave.
During the process, I heard that he had no interest in leading troops to fight. Chen Wen was really worried that if there was a war, his troops would not be used. Mi Heng talked excitedly and did not forget to actively release poisonous gas.
"Oh! He even told you this." Cao Zhi said as he stood up and opened the window.
Cao Zhi understood that Deng Ai had asked Mi Heng to be the transmitter. If he told Cao Zhi some things directly, it would inevitably be embarrassing. It would be better to pass them through the people around Cao Zhi. Cao Song had just taught him this, but he didn't expect it to be so
I soon learned the lesson, and it seems I have to use this trick to send the message back.
"The Kwantung Allied Forces are never where I want to go," Cao Zhi said quietly.
"Yes, I see you clearly. I don't like Yuan Shao's gang either. I can drag everyone as much as they want." Mi Heng said angrily.
Cao Zhi thought to himself that there is someone more arrogant than you in the world. If you dare to admit that you are the second most arrogant person in the world, no one would dare to admit that you are second. Cao Zhi estimates that all the princes in the "Kwantung Allied Forces" have offended you.
There are many crazy people, that's why he is so cold to them.
"You should pay a return visit to Deng Ai tomorrow..." Cao Zhi tapped the table and said slowly.
"Ah! What letter does Mr. Ming want me to bring?" Mi Heng, this boy, is quite capable of carrying things clearly.
Cao Zhi looked at Mi Heng who looked expectant and said calmly: "Send him a letter and say that I am willing to stay to serve Chen Shijun and contribute to the people of Yangzhou."
"Great, Ming Gong Mingzhi! I knew Ming Gong had such a good judgment." Mi Heng, with an excited look on his face, was about to leave and write a reply to Deng Ai, but Cao Zhi stopped him and told him clearly.
He has to go tomorrow afternoon. Doesn’t it seem like he’s losing value if he goes early?
I also learned this from Cao Song in the morning. This principle is the same as the "lateness" of modern stars. The more you heighten the interest of others, the more you can show your class.
Cao Zhi dragged Mi Heng to understand the current official system. In this regard, Cao Zhi only knew a rough idea. Unlike Mi Heng, a "clean stream" person who seemed to regard high-ranking officials as worthless, he understood the official system.
This is the characteristic of the Chinese people. The more they talk about things they don’t like, the more they talk about things they don’t like, but actually they are thinking about it in their hearts!
Mi Heng finally came across his strengths and spoke eloquently, while Cao Zhi picked the important ones and took notes.
Cao Zhi is still not very comfortable with the brush and writes very slowly.
From time to time, Mi Heng had to wait for Cao Zhi to finish writing this sentence before he could say the next sentence. Some words still did not convey the meaning, so Mi Heng made corrections from time to time. Mi Heng was puzzled. He, a "Ming Gong", was rich in literary talent and would occasionally take risks.
He came up with some words that he didn't understand. After thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was wonderful, but how could the word be written like this?
In the years since Cao Zhi came to ancient times, he had put far more effort into military affairs than in literary matters. This is also related to the atmosphere of the Cao family. Cao Cao, Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Dun, Zhang Miao, etc. around Cao Zhi are not all day.
The direct consequence of Cao Zhi's emphasis on martial arts and despising literature is that some characters of Cao Zhi still maintain the simplified style, which caused Mi Heng's confusion.
Cao Zhi was tired from writing, and Mi Heng was even more tired from looking at it. Later, Mi Heng simply took the pen and ink and used the sword himself.
After turning over a page, Mi Heng was about to continue writing and editing when he suddenly looked at the few words on the paper. His hand stopped in mid-air and he looked at those words carefully.
Cao Zhi was stomping back and forth leisurely in the study. When Mi Heng explained the local official system, Mi Heng suddenly stopped.
Cao Zhi stopped stamping and walked to Mi Heng's side, "What's wrong? What are you looking at?"
"Ming Gong, was this alchemy written by you?"
Cao Zhi stretched his head to look at the paper and saw mononitrate, disulfide, and charcoal. "Oh!" It turned out to be a gunpowder formula he had written down in his spare time a few days ago. This was based on a clip from Mine War he watched when he was a child.
I recalled the proportions of gunpowder that I wrote down. I discussed this recipe with Xia Houyuan and the others, but to no avail.
I had no choice but to let it go.
There is some gunpowder in the current army, but it can only be used to transmit signals. It can't even kill a chicken, and the quantity is limited. If you want to get gunpowder that can break rocks and blow people up, you must prepare black gunpowder. Only in that way can it be used.
Lethality. Even without a detonator, as long as the gunpowder is of high purity and densely packed, it can produce an explosive effect.
Before the Song Dynasty, the formula of gunpowder was called alchemy, which was not accepted by mainstream theory, because alchemy usually refers to the method of making some elixirs of immortality. The invention of gunpowder was discovered accidentally during the process of refining some elixirs.
Because it was linked to alchemy, it did not receive due attention and attention in the early days of the invention of gunpowder. In the Han Dynasty, it was not accepted by the "Qingliu" people, who believed that these alchemy techniques were harmful to the country and the people. During the Eastern Han Dynasty, several people
An emperor favored Taoist priests and immortals, but ended up eating those elixirs indiscriminately, and finally died. Therefore, among the "Qingliu" people, the mainstream academic team in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, no one studied alchemy, and even reading books on this aspect was regarded as
In order to judge the scriptures and deviate from the Taoism, how could you possibly know this?
"How do you understand this?" Cao Zhi asked curiously.
"I'm not boasting, there are not many people in the world who can read more books than me. Pow!" Along with a loud fart, Mi Heng started to shake again.
Cao Zhi quickly restrained him, otherwise the study would no longer be able to treat people.
"Okay, okay, do you understand?"
After receiving a blow from Cao Zhi, Mi Heng blushed, straightened his slender neck, and shouted: "How could I not understand? I have read this alchemy in "The Yellow Emperor's Jiuding Shendan Sutra", but...
...It’s just slightly different.”
"Why is it different?" Cao Zhi was also interested. Cao Zhi didn't care whether Ni Heng had deviated from the scriptures or not.
Mi Heng glanced sideways at Cao Zhi and saw that he was very serious. He didn't seem to be teasing him. He straightened his body and said seriously: "There is a section of alchemy mentioned in "The Yellow Emperor's Jiuding Shendan Sutra", which talks about the use of stone gallbladder.
, saltpeter, and charcoal will explode in the alchemy furnace when refining them together, reminding future generations not to mix these objects for refining."
"That means there is only one ingredient that is different from my formula, and the stone gallbladder may be sulfur." Cao Zhi muttered to himself as if no one else was around.
"Have you ever seen this thing called stone gallbladder? Where can I find it?" Cao Zhi suddenly asked, making Mi Heng jump.
