Chapter 24: The World's First Ingenuity (I)

As he spoke, the doorman had already come over with a wooden plate, three large porcelain bowls, filled with water.

"Drink, hurry up and leave after drinking, my master doesn't like people to come in, if he sees it, I will be scolded again."

Although the doorman's tone was stiff, his heart was not bad, Cao Liang smiled, took the bowl, and drank water.

This water is authentic mountain spring water, sweet and refreshing, refreshing, enough to kill those mineral water that claims to be the porters of nature, what is pure natural and pollution-free, probably only in this era will have.

At this moment, two people came out of the village, an old man and a young man, the old man had a childish face, his spirit was shining, the young man was in good shape, strong and majestic, this old and a young man, talking while walking, seemed to talk about each other.

However, when he saw someone at the door, the old man seemed to look displeased, and shouted, "Marin, I'...... Didn't I say it, no...... No outsiders are allowed to come in, you are so bold, you are ...... It turned out that the yang was against the yin! ”

The old man stammered a little, and was very angry, and his gray beard was curled.

The doorman Marin was shocked and hurriedly said: "Master, they are just passing guests, they come in to ask for a bowl of water to drink, and I will drive them away-"

Turning his head to complain to Cao Liang, he said: "I said that the master didn't let people in, but you didn't listen, this time the master was angry, you should leave quickly." ”

There are many strange people in the mountains and wilderness, Cao Liang doesn't care, since others don't want to see the living, then there is no need for him to stay here to annoy people, Cao Liang arched his hand at the doorman, and thanked him for his gift of water: "Thank you, please bother." ”

As for the old man, Cao Liang is unreasonable, although Cao Liang can be regarded as a model young man who respects the old and loves the young, but what kind of person does it score, and he will not use his hot face to stick to other people's cold butts.

Just as Cao Liang turned to leave, the young man next to the old man suddenly shouted, "Brother Tai, please stay." ”

Cao Liang turned around and said suspiciously: "Something?" ”

The young man smiled and said, "Brother Tai, is it Cao Liang and Cao Ziming, the Governor of the Sect?" ”

Cao Liang was slightly stunned, and the other party revealed his identity with a word, obviously knowing him, but Cao Liang felt that the other party was very strange, after all, the memory he inherited was very broken, and the person Cao Liang knew before may not be able to know him now.

Moreover, it was only yesterday that he was promoted by Yu Linlang to expire as the door governor, and the other party knew his identity so well, obviously the identity of the forbidden army in the palace.

"Your Excellency is ......"

"Brother Cao, noble people forget things, we had several fates before, and Fu Xuan joined the army in General Xiawei." Fu Xuan smiled at Cao Liang.

Cao Liang suddenly realized that it was not that he remembered things, but that the young man in front of him was actually Fu Xuan, a famous thinker and writer in the Western Jin Dynasty.

In ancient times, there were indeed only a handful of people who could be called thinkers. Although Fu Xuan was the highest official only to Jiuqing, not to the third duke, the materialist thought he founded was unique in this era.

Fu Xuan believes that "vitality" is the basic element that constitutes things in the natural world, and the generation of the natural world does not depend on mysterious forces such as "creator", "god", "heaven", etc., which is the most simple materialism, and Fu Xuan is also respected as "Fu Zi".

In ancient times, those who could be called "sons" were not a generation of thinkers, such as Confucius, Mencius, Mozi, Laozi, Sun Tzu, Han Feizi, Zhuzi, Fu Xuan was called Fu Zi, and naturally had a place in the field of thought.

Of course, Fu Xuan is only in his twenties now, and his reputation is not obvious, but he only joined the army as General Wei and is a member of the forbidden army, so it is not surprising that he knows Cao Liang.

"It turned out that Fu joined the army, which was rude and rude." Cao Liang bowed his hand and saluted back.

Fu Xuan said: "Brother Cao is not on duty today, so he has the flaws to come out to enjoy the mountains and rivers?" ”

Cao Liang smiled and said: "I came out to go out today without anything, passing by here, I wanted to ask for a bowl of water to drink, but I didn't expect it to be a closed door, and it was not as good as Brother Fu's guest." ”

Fu Xuan hurriedly said: "Brother Cao, don't get me wrong, this Mr. Ma is indifferent by nature and doesn't like fame and fortune, so he closes his door to thank guests, and people who are not familiar with him can't see him." Brother Cao is not an outsider, so I will introduce him to Mr. Ma. ”

"Don't, it's a layman below, a lofty and elegant outsider like Mr. Ma, it's better to be exempt, after all, you can't climb down the height, and it's better not to see each other." After that, Cao Liang surrendered his hand and wanted to retire.

Fu Xuan hurriedly stopped each other and said: "Brother Cao misunderstood, Mr. Ma is not a high-minded and arrogant person, he has been indifferent to fame and fortune all his life, studied skills, and is the first craftsman in the world. ”

Cao Liang's heart moved, this old man's surname is Ma, and he is called the world's first craftsman by Fu Xuan, could it be that he is the famous inventor Ma Jun during the Three Kingdoms period?

Thinking of this, Cao Liang immediately asked: "Is this Mr. Ma Jun Mr. Ma Deheng in the matter?" ”

Fu Xuan nodded and said, "Yes, exactly." However, Mr. Ma had already resigned last winter and retired to the countryside......"

Cao Liang didn't wait for him to finish speaking, he had already stepped in front of Ma Jun in an arrow step, bowed down and saluted: "I don't know that Mr. Ma is here, I have offended a lot, and I ask for forgiveness." ”

To be honest, there were not too many people who admired Cao Liang in his previous life for the Later Three Kingdoms, even if it was the big boss Sima Yi, he didn't let Cao Liang admire it.

However, this Ma Jun is a person that Cao Liang really admires.

Ma Jun was born in Fufeng, the Fufeng Ma family is a big family, and has produced celebrities such as the Han Fubo general Ma Yuan, the late Han Dynasty master Ma Rong, and the Shu Han hussar general Ma Chao.

When Ma Jun was young, his family was poor, he stuttered since he was a child, and he was not good at talking, but he was ingenious, intelligent, diligent, willing to use his brain, good at studying, and invented and created a lot of things.

Maybe the people of this era have not paid attention to the value of scientific and technological inventions at all, but Cao Liang, who has traveled from later generations, knows that Ma Jun's many inventions are the ladder to promote human progress, and in a sense, Ma Jun is greater than those princes and generals.

A loom invented by Ma Jun alone can increase the weaving efficiency by five or six times, reduce the strength of textile laborers, and play an irreplaceable role in the development of textile handicraft industry.

It's a pity that Ma Jun was born at the wrong time, if he could have been born in the era of the Industrial Revolution, he would have killed Edison in seconds, and in this era when everything is inferior, only reading is high, the most brilliant diamonds will also be dusty.

Fu Xuan admired Ma Jun very much, and wrote the book "The Biography of Ma Jun", which not only recorded Ma Jun's life, but also recorded in detail Ma Jun's three strange things, which have been talked about by later generations.
