For the next day and night, Wei Ba was busy in the workshop and had no time to sit down and think about the problem. On the morning of the third day, 20,000 account pages were completed, and at the same time, a beautifully crafted abacus was completed.
, Steward Chen took his people to Nanzheng City, and then to various counties. Steward Chen had been in charge of the Wei family for many years, so he was no stranger to accounting affairs. It would be more appropriate for him to handle it than for Wei Ba to do it himself.
Much more.
When the matter came to an end, Wei Ba felt the fatigue coming from his bones. He returned to the small courtyard where he lived and had a good sleep. He slept until the early morning of the next day and finally regained his energy.
In the following days, Wei Ba stayed in the manor. Except for going to Tiezuo to pay attention to the improvement of new weapons, he spent most of his time reading in the study room in the backyard. After a rough look at the books, he continued
He went to the Taishou's Mansion in Nanzheng City. The Taishou's Mansion had archives of official documents that had been exchanged over the years. He could learn about the world, especially the current basic situation of the Shu Han, by reading a large number of these official documents.
He soon discovered a treasure among these official documents: a letter written by Prime Minister Zhuge Liang.
The reason why these autographed letters are regarded as treasures is not because they are letters from famous people and can be worth a lot of money, but because Zhuge Liang's calligraphy is very unique. Although this man is not a monster, he is really a rare talent and can learn everything quickly.
Let’s get started. He is not famous for his articles, but one of his writings will be famous throughout the ages. He is also not famous for his calligraphy, but his letters attracted Wei Ba at a glance among the many official documents. The dignified and steady official script immediately attracted Wei Ba.
Can't put it down.
So Wei Ba had one more thing to do: copy Zhuge Liang's calligraphy.
Time passed quickly. A month later, Wei Ba received news from Wei Yan that Prime Minister Zhuge Liang's army had arrived in Mianyang and asked him to rush to Mianyang as soon as possible. Wei Ba did not dare to neglect, so he immediately packed up and took the troops with him.
Wei Wu, Dun Wu and others rushed to Mianyang.
It was already evening when we arrived at Mianyang. Standing outside Mianyang City, looking at the layers of military camps under Yangping Mountain, looking at the battle flags illuminated like fire by the sunset, and listening to the sound of war drums coming from far away, Wei Ba
Suddenly he became a little excited. He was about to see the legendary Prime Minister Zhuge, and was about to participate in the raging Northern Expedition. Even though he was used to seeing all kinds of grand scenes, he also knew that the power of Shu Han was far inferior to that of Cao Wei.
Strong, even the weakest among the Three Kingdoms, but when a camp of 100,000 people was spread out in front of him, he still felt that the scene was so spectacular that it took people's breath away.
"It's so fucking shocking." Wei Ba said to himself.
Wei Wu was also stunned for a long time, smacked his lips, and said with emotion: "There are so many people."
Compared to the two brothers, who were rare and strange, Dunwu, who had experienced the Hanzhong Battle with Wei Yan ten years ago, seemed relatively calm, with a somewhat worried look on his face. "Young Master, this is probably what I, a big man, can mobilize.
With all our strength. If we win with all our strength, of course there will be no problem, but if we lose, we may never be able to mobilize so many troops for the Northern Expedition."
Wei Ba's eyes tightened and he looked at Dunwu. He couldn't tell that this young man who usually didn't talk much had such vision. Yes, Zhuge Liang's first Northern Expedition was the most powerful and the one with the greatest losses.
Although the losses in the first war were not large, the accumulated losses were not a small amount. In short, no other time could match the strength of the Northern Expedition. After Zhuge Liang's death and the Jiang Wei era, the war became weaker and weaker.
, when the country fell, the entire Shu Han had only one hundred thousand soldiers.
However, not many people can see this now. Dunwu can understand it because he has been following Wei Yan in the army since he was twelve or thirteen years old. He has a good understanding of the strength of Shu Han and he is a pure warrior.
, only believe in strength. But what about others? Zhuge Liang himself has no actual combat experience except for the Battle of Nanzhong the year before last. The Battle of Nanzhong dealt with those barbarians who were weak and could only take advantage of the geographical advantages. The overall strength of the Shu Han Dynasty accounted for
The upper hand is suitable for the majestic formation, but this time he is facing the powerful Wei army. The balance of strength has fundamentally changed, but Zhuge Liang is aware of him? Are those around him aware?
I'm afraid not necessarily. The person Zhuge Liang trusts the most now is probably Ma Su. This guy is famous for his rhetoric, comparable to Zhao Kuo. Those who are close to Zhuge Liang are red, and those who are close to Mo are black. Zhuge Liang trusts him so much and treats him as a confidant, which can only show that Zhuge Liang himself
There is also this incorrect psychological tendency. To put it nicely, it is romanticism, but to put it badly, it is just talk on paper.
This was destined to be a Northern Expedition that started in a hurry and ended in a tailspin. The spectacular sight before us was just the beginning of a disastrous defeat.
Wei Ba's excitement suddenly became heavy.
From a distance, Wei Ba saw Wei Feng. Wei Feng was wearing a leather armor and standing in the middle of the road with a smile. As soon as he saw Wei Ba, he came up to him, patted Wei Ba hard, and said with a smile: "
Not bad, I seem to be more energetic again. How about it, are you tired after coming all the way?"
"Not tired." Wei Ba was also very happy to see Wei Feng. He jumped out of the car, stretched his numb legs, and asked, "Where is father? Why did you call me here so urgently?"
"Of course there is something." Wei Feng waved his hand to signal Dunwu and the others to stay away. He put his arm around Wei Ba's shoulders and said softly: "Father knows everything about Zhuangzi. He called you here in such a hurry.
I want to take care of something for you."
"What's the matter?" Wei Ba became a little nervous. Could it be that I was disgracing Mrs. Zhang in the village and my father knew about it and he was not happy?
"It's not a big deal." Wei Feng saw that Wei Ba was a little nervous and couldn't help laughing, "The new account book has been delivered. My father is very satisfied and is waiting for the prime minister to summon him so that he can slap Yang Yi in the face. However, my father doesn't want it.
You are too pushy, I hope you can be more humble."
Wei Ba was very surprised. His father, Wei Yan, was such a proud man and had never objected to his son being arrogant. How could he be humbled this time? Could it be that he was short of breath when he saw Prime Minister Zhuge?
"You are famous now. The power of Tie Yi is three times that of Mu Yi. Every farmer who has used it praises it. The new type of account books and abacus. Even Mr. Cheng is full of praise, saying that it can reduce the complexity."
For the sake of simplicity and simplicity, only people with great wisdom can make such good things. Although you are in Nanzheng, your name is already known to everyone."
Wei Feng waved his hand exaggeratedly, indicating that Wei Ba was now famous all over the world, at least in the whole of Hanzhong, which made Wei Ba couldn't help laughing. "Brother, you are too exaggerated."
"Hehe, whether it's an exaggeration or not, you'll know when the time comes." Wei Feng put away his smile and said seriously: "But there is one thing that my father has specially taken care of. You already have a reputation. You must not deal with new weapons.
If you tell anyone, even if someone knows about it, you can't say that you came up with it yourself. You can only say that you accidentally read it in a book. And the most important thing is that from now on, you can't do these things anymore.
If you have any good ideas for something, do it slowly after you get home. You can do as much as you want, but you can’t let any news of it outside."
"Why?" Wei Ba frowned. Could it be that his father also wanted to protect technical secrets and wanted to dominate the market and make more money.
"Why?" Wei Feng was surprised by Wei Ba's attitude: "Don't you know that these things you do are all the work of craftsmen. No matter how much you do, you will not be looked down upon by others, but it will be easy for others to leave you with a bad impression.
I had the impression that you were born to help a craftsman."
Wei Ba suddenly realized, and then he understood the painstaking efforts of his father Wei Yan. This year, he focused on reading for the first time, and he read the books of sages, that is, "Spring and Autumn", "Shang Shu" and other Confucian classics. The other books were all miscellaneous and not elegant.
Hall. Soldiers throw their heads and shed blood, but they are not regarded by scholars. They can only be regarded as inferior people. After fighting for a lifetime, Liu Bei, who was finally honored as an emperor, was also scolded as a veteran. The famous general Zhang Fei of the generation wanted to compete with the famous scholar Liu Bei.
Ba took a nap, but was rejected by Liu Ba. Soldiers are already like this, and craftsmen are even more despicable. No matter how good your skills are, you can't escape the reputation of a despicable job.
The Wei family is a general. Although he does not accept the arrogance of those scholars, he also looks down on craftsmen. My father was angry with him because of his blacksmithing, and now he naturally does not want him to appear in front of others as a craftsman. That is worse than joining the army.
A despicable label. My father did this out of love and care for him. With his status, no matter how incompetent he is, he can still join the official position. There is no need to use such a despicable job to make a living.
Wei Ba sighed secretly and nodded: "I understand."
When Wei Feng saw that Wei Ba had agreed, he happily patted him on the shoulder: "As long as you understand my father's painstaking efforts. Come on, let's go into the city and plan with Mr. Cheng and the others to see how to deal with Yang Yi and Yu Sheng.
Haha, if you hit him in the face, Aba, you will really have done a great job this time."
Wei Ba gave a bitter smile. The battle was about to begin, but his father was still thinking about fighting with Yang Yi, and he was so serious about it. He didn't know that he was about to face a big problem that might determine the future of the entire Wei family. If he didn't fight with Yang Yi at this time,
The people around Zhuge Liang just want to build good relations with each other, but they actually want to intensify the conflict. This is not a slap in the face. As long as the ledger is sent up so that Yang Yi can't find anything wrong with him, that's it. Why bother to embarrass the other party?
?Yang Yi is the person next to Zhuge Liang. The one who is near the water and the tower first gets the moon. He wants to give you some eye drops, which is very convenient.
My father may have a good way of using the army, but he is too substandard in dealing with people. Character determines destiny. In the future, everyone will betray their relatives and be infamy for thousands of years. Although it is a bit unjust, it probably has a lot to do with his ignorant character. For the benefit of the family
, whether he likes to hear it or not, I still have to find opportunities to persuade him as much as possible. But no matter how I persuade him, I have to find a proper way, otherwise it will be self-defeating and the persuasion will not succeed, but will only add fuel to the fire, which will be a big trouble.
Wei Ba was thinking about how to persuade his father to change his bad temper, when someone suddenly blocked his way. Before he could speak, Wei Feng said displeasedly: "Miss Ma, why are you doing this? My brother has just arrived, so hurry up."
I’m here, I’m chasing you too hard.”————Hahaha…Everyone is very helpful and pushed Lao Zhuang to the front page for exposure. Lao Zhuang is very grateful and very high! Logically speaking, it should be
I am adding an update to express my gratitude, but as we all know, there is a time limit for the new book issue and a double limit on word count, so Lao Zhuang can only restrain himself for the time being, and please forgive me. But this is just like old wine, the longer it is stored, the better it is to drink when the time comes.
It will be more enjoyable when you wake up. Lao and Zhuang solemnly promise that after the new book period, Lao and Zhuang will break out to thank you all and let you get high with Lao and Zhuang! Let the recommendation votes come more intensely.
