Ma Jun immediately ran over to ask for credit from Deng Yang for making the stone cannon, because from his unique perspective, Yang Yi probably did not exaggerate on purpose.

This kind of equipment is indeed a sharp weapon in the army, no, it should be said to be an important weapon of the country.

That's why he couldn't wait to come over to see Deng Yang.

It's just that Ma Jun, who was born in a humble family, could not have imagined that Deng Yang had been frustrated for so many years. Once he gained power, what he wanted most in his heart was to make up for what he had lost.

With the secret medicine presented by Mi Shiyilang, he became increasingly addicted to wine and sex, and it seemed to him that what Ma Jun said was just an imitation of Emperor Wu's Thunderbolt Car.

"Have you made those heavy crossbows?"

Compared to the heavy weapon stone cannon, Deng Yang seems to be more optimistic about the heavy crossbow.

After all, the powerful bows and crossbows in the Han Dynasty have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people for hundreds of years.

Ma Jun, who was still thinking about a long speech to explain the importance of stone cannons to Deng Changshi, suddenly got stuck.

He didn't speak fluently to begin with, and now he was asked this question by Deng Yang so suddenly that he couldn't even speak for a while.

"If you haven't done it yet, what did you come over and say to me?"

Deng Yang waved his hand impatiently:

"Go back and make everything on the drawing, and then report it to me."

Seeing Deng Yang's expression, Ma Jun felt a chill in his heart.

He has encountered this attitude too many times over the years.

From Gao Tanglong, Qin Lang, even the late emperor, to Deng Yang in front of him, their attitude towards him has never changed at all.

Thinking about it, it is true, even if it is the late emperor who suppressed the trend of ostentation and allowed himself to make a compass.

What he is most interested in is whether he can help him create a puppet that can move.

And how can these guys who just sit back and talk talk value what they have built?

Ma Jun, who thought he could show off his talents, saw clearly the reality in front of him, and his blood immediately cooled down, and he had to retreat in dismay.

Yang Yi, who had been waiting anxiously for news, saw Ma Jun coming back and quickly went up to greet him and asked:

"How is the horse incident going? Are you satisfied, General?"

Ma Jun glanced at Yang Yi, smiled bitterly and shook his head.

A great general?

It would be nice to meet Deng Changshi.

Seeing Ma Jun's appearance, Yang Yi's heart sank.

But he still held on to the last glimmer of hope and asked:

"Is it because the general is not free, so he didn't come over to see the stone cannon?"

Ma Jun looked at Yang Yi who was trying to grab a life-saving straw, and couldn't help but feel a little unbearable in his heart.

This Mr. Yang traveled thousands of miles to join the army, risking his own life to bring the secrets of making sharp weapons to the bandit army. Unexpectedly, he was treated like this.

Alas, what a pity!

"Mr. Yang, don't be anxious, Chang... Chang Shi said, we have to... build everything first and try... test its power, and then he can... report it to the general."

What?

You mean, you didn’t even see the general during your trip?

Yang Yi thought about the scene when he saw Deng Yang again, and the anger in his heart could no longer be suppressed:

"It's just..."

In the end, the word "idiot" was stuck in my throat and I didn't say it out.

Today is different from the past!

Seeing Yang Yi wanting to have an attack but not daring to do so, Ma Jun felt even more unbearable. He whispered:

"Mr. Yang... don't... don't be anxious. Don't worry, I will find another way."

Yang Yi glanced at him and secretly thought that you are just a jobber, and what you do is a craftsman's work. What can you do?

It's just that now he is no longer the Prime Minister, but just a surrendered general whose identity has not been confirmed.

He was even more helpless about the current situation.

Let out a long sigh:

"For the sake of the Wei Dynasty and the destruction of the thieves, I hope Ma Shizhong will pay more attention to this matter."

"Natural, that, that's nature."

Although in recent years, aristocratic families have accelerated their control over the way to promotion in Wei.

However, at the very beginning of the Nine-Rank Zhongzheng System, the intention was to return the power of public opinion to comment on figures to the government.

Therefore, at the beginning of the implementation, even for the sake of face, some students from poor families had to be recommended.

Moreover, in the past few years, Cao Rui had the intention of suppressing aristocratic families, so he also promoted some humble people.

But generally speaking, although these poor people have entered the officialdom, their starting point is not as good as that of children from aristocratic families, and their promotion is much slower than that of children from aristocratic families.

This situation becomes more serious the further you go.

Therefore, it is already rare for Han Shu, who was promoted in his early years, to be as capable as Ma Jun.

They are not taken seriously, and in many cases they cannot integrate into the aristocratic family, so they can only stay together by themselves for warmth.

Therefore, during the years when Ma Jun was not taken seriously, he naturally got to know some people with similar backgrounds to himself.

Among these people was the doctor Fu Xuan.

Fu Xuan originally came from the Fu family in the North.

His grandfather was Fu Xie, a well-known among the Hu people in Liangzhou.

Later, Fu Xie died for his country, and due to the rebellion caused by the barbarians in Liangzhou, Fu Xuan had to flee to Hanoi with his elder Fu Qian.

Fu Xuan's eldest son, Fu Qian, showed his talents at a young age, and was finally conquered by Cao Cao and promoted to the governor of Fufeng.

It's just that the location of the Fu family's ancestral tomb may not be right, as Fu Qian died within a few years of being the governor of Fufeng.

When Fu Xuan was young, he experienced two consecutive family declines, which can be described as ups and downs...

When Fu Xuan was young, he was considered lonely and poor, somewhat similar to Ma Jun, maybe even worse than Ma Jun.

But he finally had the name of the Fu family. He was first promoted as a filial and honest man, and later he was promoted as a scholar and got the position of doctor.

Fu Xuan's identity allows him to be accepted by the family.

At the same time, his experience allowed him to put aside his status and interact with the poor people.

At this time, Ma Jun could think of only Fu Xuan who was both capable and capable of helping him.

In addition, Ma Jun was from Fufeng, and Fu Xuan's eldest son, Fu Qian, once served as the prefect of Fufeng.

With this relationship, Fu Xuan naturally prefers to see Ma Jun.

He heard about Ma Jun's visit. Not only did he receive Ma Jun in person, but after hearing what Ma Jun asked for, he couldn't help but sigh:

"Nowadays, in the Wei Dynasty, the trend of pure talk is becoming more and more prosperous. Scholars only respect mystical principles and ignore practical matters. If this continues, will there be officials in the world who can govern the people?"

Fu Xuan had followed the academic style of the Han Dynasty since he was a child, specializing in Confucian classics. He had never been fond of such a chatty style.

He wanted to say that it was not unreasonable for the late emperor to initiate the flashy case.

I just remembered that most of the people employed by the generals are flashy people.

Finally, he couldn't help but said bitterly: "There are three dogs in Taichung, two of them can't be used as firewood, and one of them can become a gangster by silence!"

(Yachai: opening one's mouth to bite, refers to Deng Yang and He Yan biting people everywhere; gangrene sac, which is the place where the poisonous pus is most concentrated in malignant sores, refers to Ding Mi as the most vicious)

Fu Xuan was upright by nature and could not tolerate sand in his eyes. The doctor was also an official of Shangshutai, so he had already had objections to the Three Dogs of Taichung.

I knew that if this matter were to be reported through Deng Yang and attract Cao Shuang's attention, I'm afraid it would take many twists and turns.

"How can you be so negligent about such a major military matter? Deheng, please rest assured that I will find a way to report this matter to the general."

Ma Jun was a little worried:

"I'm afraid Chang Shi will block it."

Fu Xuan sneered:

"If I can meet the general, I don't have to be that person. I have my own plan."

After saying that, he looked at Ma Jun seriously and asked: "Deheng, is the stone cannon you mentioned really as powerful as it says?"

Ma Jun quickly promised: "How dare I make deceptive remarks in front of the general?"

This is a mind-blowing thing.

Fu Xuan naturally knew this, and he nodded:

"I also know that Deheng is known as a skilled man. In that case, just go back and make preparations."
