"The elder brother is different from his subordinates, although he loves the classics of literature and history, but the elder brother likes Confucianism and advocates loyalty and patriotism. In the next preference for Huang Lao's inaction...... Although the same mother is a sibling, the elder brother and the next have been urinating since childhood, and they are parting words. Therefore, it is inferred from below that the elder brother will not abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and secondly, he will not waver his mind because of his persuasion. Wei Dan arched his hand and said, his eyes were full of indifference.

But in fact, Ma Chao obviously found that Wei Dan was deliberately observing himself. After Ma Chao's eyes rolled for a moment, he spoke: "The super self-owned army invaded Yongzhou, and it has long been suspected of usurpation. Respect the brother is loyal to the monarch and patriotic, and treats the people well, so he naturally can't wave troops to attack the city, so he came to ask for advice. And after Mr. De's words, it seems that Tianshui County still needs to be considered in the long run. ”

"The young lord is generous and benevolent, and pursues the righteous way to quell the Yongzhou rebellion, which is a great move to conform to the way of heaven. However, the brother's stubbornness is really sad and lamentable. After hearing Ma Chao's apology, Wei Dan also relaxed his mind a little and complimented Ma Chao.

"Mr. said with a smile, in the troubled times, the survival of the fittest, and what he did was just to protect himself." Ma Chao said apologetically again, without the slightest arrogance of the winner.

"Super in Fufeng, long after a long absence, Lord Wei Dan's books are good, especially fine, especially proficient in ink-making technology?" After the politeness, Ma Chao finally talked about this topic.

"The young master is interested in ink making?" Wei Dan was a little puzzled, you know, Wei Dan is a famous calligrapher in the Three Kingdoms, and among the scholars, everyone praises his words, but how can this person write "Persuasion" and "Serving the Country" (Lu You's "November 4th Wind and Rain Masterpiece", Ma Chao shamefully changed his name, and he was really suspected of practicing his masterpiece. The genius of these two famous poems came up and asked himself if he was proficient in the process of making ink?

"Ink making is a major event in the forest, if you get good ink, and then with the wind paper, wouldn't it be the luck of the world's scholars?" Ma Chao's surprised expression pretended to be as similar as he could.

"The young master has the world's sergeants in his heart, and his subordinates are ashamed!" When Wei Dan heard Ma Chao's explanation, he was really shocked by Ma Chao's big feelings. I don't dwell on the surrender anymore. Even, he faintly resented himself in his heart: This Ma Chao, who is known as the Qilin of the Ma family, is famous in Yongliang and Yongliang, how can he be a ruthless person of jackals? I am ashamed to be a villain and a gentleman!

"My subordinates have some experience in making ink, but this matter is not a day's work. If you want to make good ink, you need to study it carefully......" After a pause, Wei Dan hurriedly shared his ink-making experience with Ma Chao: "A good or better alcohol smoke is pounded, and the fine silk is sieved in the cylinder to sieve away the grass and fine sand and dust." This thing is slight, it should not be exposed, and it should not be careless. One pound of ink, soak five taels of good glue in the juice of Muzen peel. Mu Cen, Jiangnan Fan Chicken Veneer also, its skin into the water green, degumming, and good ink color. You can go down to five chickens white and yellow, and use one or two real stone cinnabar, one or two musk, don't treat the fine sieve, all of which are in harmony with the iron mortar, and Ning Gang is not suitable for Ze. Pound 30,000 pestles, and the more pestles, the better. Hemo should not pass February and September, and it will be difficult to dry when it is warm, and it will be difficult to dry when it is cold. Tong Rong saw that the wind was broken, and the weight should not exceed two or three taels. The great trick of ink is like this, and it is better to be small than ......"

Ma Chao was confused, in addition to hearing that this ink making has processes such as removing impurities, ingredients, pounding, and combining ink, the rest is ignorant of those raw materials, craftsmanship and the like. Anyway, in the end, he knew that this ink-making thing was still an extremely difficult process, and if he wanted to mass produce it on the assembly line, it would take some time.

"In this case, I will make you a master ink maker, and transfer you to the Ma Arsenal to refine the ink development process, sir, are you willing?" Ma Chao thought to himself that he was a leader, so he didn't want to care about these details.

"Marshall's Arsenal? Inkmaker? At this time, Wei Dan was confused: why didn't he understand the meaning of the noun in the young master's mouth?

"Ma's Arsenal is the Ma Family Development Division..... The place where new crafts were invented, Mr. will know when he arrives. And the ink master is the self-appointed official position of the Ma family, which belongs to... Six-rank rank. ”

Zheng Hun and Pu Yuan, the two of them are the master ironsmith and the master craftsman, respectively, under the rule of the Ma family, they are just seven-rank officials. However, Wei Dan himself is the county guard of the seventh grade, if he takes away the Guangwei County of the other family, and transfers the family to his own Ma Arsenal and becomes a seven-grade official, how can he make people feel comfortable? As a result, Ma Chaocai deliberately improved Wei Dan's treatment in the Ma Arsenal.

Ma Chao's small abacus is that Han Feng is in charge of everything in the Ma Arsenal anyway, and giving Wei Dan a fictitious position, just a little more. But once Wei Dan's ink-making process is formed, one more item can be added to the Ma family's fist products. And although this ink is not a profiteering product, it can't stand it and can make a name for the Ma family! The soft power gained during this period is not comparable to those real money.

At the end of the Han Dynasty, there was a preliminary admiration for literati calligraphy and painting. Its excellent pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and four treasures of the study room make those who read more sought after. After the birth of Fufeng paper, Ma Chao's fame became famous in Shilin, so if there is another kind of good ink that is 'a hundred years like a stone, a little like paint', then Ma Chaoyan can not become a wind-like figure in Shilin?

Wei Danzhong, a peaceful person, how can he know these little ninety-nine in Ma Chao's heart? Hearing that Ma Chao not only promoted him to his official position, but also fully supported his beloved business, he was overjoyed, and immediately bowed down: "My subordinates will definitely work hard to create the best ink for the young master!" ”

"Mr. said that he laughed, it is the merit of Mr. to seek the benefit of the world's scholars, how dare he be good at it?" Ma Chao said modestly, but he was thinking in his heart: fame, wealth, both! Wei Dan, you signed this deed of sale and turned into a golden rooster to lay golden eggs for your brother!

Wei Dan repeatedly boasted about Ma Chao, and finally Xi Zizi packed his luggage and was escorted by 200 Ma Jiajun to help the wind.

After getting Wei Dan, Ma Chao turned around and looked at Pang De and said: "Ling Ming took Guangwei County without blood this time, did not make the lives miserable, and also got the gold of Wei Dan... is courteous and virtuous, and he has understood the essence of the art of war. In this battle, you can be the first to work! ”

"The young master praises falsely, this plan is made by filial piety, and he is just waiting for a few hours, how dare he invite credit?" Pound returned solemnly, upright.

"Don't be arrogant in victory, don't be discouraged in defeat. Don't be greedy, don't take profits, and be a good general. Ma Chao praised, but he was very relieved in his heart: this brave general of history has finally begun to become a general under his influence!

"This time, there are still two counties of Tianshui and Longxi, this merit has been recorded, and after the capture of the two counties, it will be rewarded together!" Ma Chao looked at Pang De, Fa Zheng and Ma Dai and said.

"Thank you, young master!" The three of them clasped their fists and saluted, while Ma Dai winked at Fazheng: You are really right, we are really the first skill!

"The battle of Tianshui, I don't know what your good plan is?" Although Ma Chao said to everyone, his eyes were at Jia Xu and Fa Zheng.

"The young master has already made up his mind in his heart, why bother to play again?" Fa Zheng jumped out, rolled his eyes and said, "Why don't I wait for the three of us to write the strategy of breaking the sky and water in our hands, and see if it is the same as what the hero sees?" ”

Ma Chao and Jia Xu's eyes lit up, and they also found it interesting, and after instructing the guards to bring pens, they both wrote two words in their hands. After unfolding and taking a look, the three of them all showed a gloomy smile, which made all the soldiers of the Ma Jiajun feel chills......

I saw that the three of them had the same two words in their hands: Yishan!
