.Chapter 79: Give gratitude and calming heart

He sent off the others to do serious business, and Guo Jia stayed in Ma Jun's yard to listen to him explain the key points of crossbow design. Ma Jun stuttered, but it did not affect his clear narrative. Moreover, he must be confident about what he is good at, so there is little stuttering.

He was so eloquent that he was talking, Ma Jun's research on the exquisiteness of the instrument was so sharp that he could tell the truth. Although Guo Jia was confused, he could understand a lot based on some simple physics knowledge in later generations.

Perhaps I never thought that a person with a high and powerful position like Guo Jia would listen carefully to a little person like him talkatively. Not only did Ma Jun say it in detail, but he also had a smile on his young face.

He came from the northwest and was from Fufeng. His family was poor and often suffered from war. First, he was rebelled by Ma Teng and Han Sui and others, and then he was recruited and then rebelled. After Dong Zhuo moved the capital to Chang'an, the northwest had never been peaceful. It can even be said that since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the northwest had never been peaceful. Qiang and Hu were in chaos. Ma Teng was originally a Han minister, and he also caused chaos. Not to mention Dong Zhuo, his life was like grass. When Ma Jun heard that Yizhou recruited skilled craftsmen, he came to try it, but he did not expect that Zhang Liao was appointed as a guest of honor. The delicious food and drink made him live a stable life and could focus all his interests and hobbies.

As for Guo Jia, a rebel who issued a manifesto to attack, Ma Jun didn't care much. He had seen people like Ma Teng who were rebellious and were recruited and rebelled again. He had also seen what life did the people of Guanzhong live. Even if Guo Jia was a rebel, the lives of the people of Yizhou were what he yearned for. He had contacted Guo Jia in person, that is, a young man of his age, who was very easy to get along with. He did not cause trouble, did not break the law, and lived simply. Whoever rebelled or who was a thief, how could he care?

After getting along with Ma Jun for one day, Guo Jia felt that he was a rare genius in the world, but his values ​​were different. Even if other princes knew Ma Jun's ability, they probably wouldn't pay attention to it.

After eating and sleeping with Ma Jun for several days, Guo Jia listened carefully to Ma Jun’s insights on equipment, and also took out his half-baked physics knowledge to discuss with Ma Jun. Ma Jun is a practitioner and Guo Jia is a theorist. He dare not say anything about preaching and teaching, but Guo Jia hopes that he can give Ma Jun some inspiration.

A few days later, Ma Jun tried the influence of different parts on the corner crossbow as usual, while explaining to Guo Jia the differences between each part.

"Deheng, do you have any pursuit? For example, some people want gold, silver and treasures, some people want beautiful wives and concubines, and some people want to be king and dominate. What about you? What do you want?"

Guo Jia spoke very straightforwardly to Ma Jun because Ma Jun is not a scheming person.

Ma Jun was stunned in the yard, stopped his movements, and thought about Guo Jia's problem very seriously.

After a while, he raised his head and looked at Guo Jia and said, "I, my father, hope that I will be a high-ranking official and glorious family and ancestors. My mother, I hope that I can marry a few wives and concubines, let the Ma family's children be prosperous."

Guo Jia smiled, it was a good ideal, it sounded vulgar, but if he said it another way, he would have a good harvest of career and love.

"Okay, I'll ask Wenyuan to be a matchmaker for you and ask you to choose a few people you like to marry them home. If you have the chance in the future, I will submit a letter to the court to sign you as a Yizhou No-Ki. Are you satisfied with this official?"

As for the official position itself, Yizhou is the top three positions in a state, and has a very high status.

Ma Jun was stunned and scratched his head for a long time and said, "Yes, but I don't have money. This, this house is not enough to live in. General Zhang gives me money every month, and I'm alone. Fortunately, if it's a family, I'm afraid it won't be able to raise it. If it's a woman, a woman doesn't work, I'll be miserable."

Guo Jia chuckled and said, "Although I can't give you the official position of Yizhou now, I can give you the salary of the governor, 600 stone a year, and give you another big house and a hundred acres of fertile land. You can hire someone to farm for you. Are you relieved, right?"

Ma Jun nodded happily, but frowned again and continued, "If I do, go to be an official, this, this..."

I never expected Ma Jun to do administrative work. Guo Jia sat next to him and said, "Don't worry, you don't have to do Yizhou. Just manage these craftsmen. On weekdays, you can continue to do what you like to do. As an official position, you think it's enough to make the Ma family shine and honor the ancestors. If you have a chance in the future, I can also help you submit a letter to the court and give it to you as a village marquis, and a marquis of Ting."

Nowadays, there is no governor or governor of Yizhou. Yizhou is not a name but a real person. The real power is in the hands of those in Yizhou Prefecture, and they are also doing the work. Guo Jia gave Ma Jun an official position with a false reputation, as long as Ma Jun is happy.

Ma Jun looked at Guo Jia incredibly, lowered his head, and unconsciously fiddled with the parts. He said in a low and weak voice: "General, aren't you afraid that others will laugh at you? I have no ability, but you want me to be a high-ranking official. I also know that you will not receive any reward without merit. You, you will not make me laugh, am I just teasing me, right?"

A hand gently stroked Ma Jun's shoulder. When he raised his head and looked at Guo Jia, Guo Jia said solemnly: "Deheng, your talent is far beyond the reach of people. I believe in this. People who read poetry and books in the world are like crucian carp trees, but how many of them really have practical talents? You are different. You are like God gave me. I have not been with you for a long time, but I know that your talent is not only helpful to my army, but also beneficial to the people. Compared with you, I am actually a villain. I want to use money and beauty to buy you with official positions and titles. What you want, just speak up, and I will definitely not refuse if I can satisfy you."

Guo Jia said the truth. Even if Ma Jun is insatiable, he will still satisfy him, because Ma Jun can create thousands of times more than he deserves.

Ma Jun looked at Guo Jia in a daze. Guo Jia patted his shoulder and stood up and left. After Guo Jia went out, Ma Jun lowered his head and wiped his eyes with his sleeve.

He is a poor child who is often ridiculed and stuttered. He never dares to dream of being praised and recognized so much. When he occasionally shows his talents, he is also ridiculed by strange tricks...

Guo Jia's promise was soon realized. He built a mansion for Ma Jun, and asked Zhang Liao as a matchmaker to personally build a bridge. He also gave a special order. Only when Ma Jun nodded and said he liked it, the marriage was decided, and he also converted the governor's salary for one year into food and silk cloth to send it to Ma Jun.

Guo Jia can use any means to recruit talents, but he must start with Shi En first.

After staying in Hanzhong for nearly two months, Guo Jia discussed the planning of the military branches with Gan Ning and Zhang Liao here. For example, the newly built cavalry team in Gan Ning, with white feathers inserted on his helmets and shoulder armors. The silver feather flying cavalry was officially completed. The five thousand archers under Zhang Liao were also reorganized. Others such as spearmen and swords and shields were also reorganized in terms of number of people. The purpose was to make the military teams matched reasonably and achieve the maximum performance during combat.

Autumn is approaching, and Guo Jia is also back to Chengdu. The harvest season also means being busy. Guo Jia has handed over his political affairs to his subordinates to the greatest extent. The establishment of Yizhou Prefecture actually has an accountability system, with clear division of labor, each performs its own duties, if there are any mistakes, there are responsibilities and some people to punish, but there are still many government affairs that need to be made.

Before leaving, I was lively in Hanzhong, and it was Ma Jun’s wedding banquet.

According to his identity, Guo Jia is qualified to host the wedding, but he still gave up his position to the respected elders of Hanzhong villagers. Ma Jun is alone in a foreign land and starts a family and starts a career, which is enough to be called a joy in life.

During the lively and festive wedding banquet, Guo Jia wore an ordinary sleeve robe and came to congratulate Ma Jun on his wedding with Zhang Liao Fazheng and others. Ma Jun is not familiar with the place, but he is basically with his friends. Fortunately, there are many people coming, and the scene is not deserted.

For marriages in this era, it is not important for men and women to have feelings. The most important thing is whether their life after marriage can be stable and prosperous. Ma Jun has long been appreciated by Guo Jia. Not only did he have the luxury house and fertile land given by Guo Jia, but also Zhang Liao, the prefect of Hanzhong, personally served as a matchmaker, and invited respected elders to take charge of the marriage. No matter what Guo Jia's starting point is, he is really kind to Ma Jun.

Ma Jun, a peer, made Guo Jia very interested. He and Zhen Yu felt a gentlemanly friendship. The one that Ma Jun presented to him seemed to be a piece of white paper, clean, without any need to be wary of or calculating. Although they did not have similar interests, they could speak freely. This alone was rare.

In public, Ma Jun was wearing a red wedding dress and ran to Guo Jia, knelt down and kowtowed three times, making Guo Jia laugh and cry. He helped him up with his own hands and said, "Deheng, this is the best day. No matter what you think, I am just congratulating you as a friend."

Ma Jun felt aroused, wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, took a deep breath, and after brewing for a long time, he said with a serious expression on Guo Jia: "Jun is respected by the general, and he knows the kindness of his encounter, and remembers it for his whole life."

The colleagues who met Ma Jun were all envious of Ma Jun. They also admired Ma Jun's talent, but they were even more surprised that Guo Jia treated Ma Jun beyond their imagination.

Guo Jia picked up two wine glasses, handed them to Ma Jun, and greeted him, saying, "Everyone has his own stage. In my eyes, professions are not distinguished from high or low. Deheng. You and them are both people with skills. In the field you are good at, I cannot compare with you. Therefore, I admire you and hope that you can use your own abilities to benefit the people. If there are people who despise you, they are blind and there are countless people in the world who are of high or low eyes. They are not qualified to evaluate you. Your hands are a pair of hands that can turn ordinary into magic."

Not only Ma Jun, but his colleagues also stared at Guo Jia excitedly.
