Chapter 306: Bringing up interesting things
Did you agree that you have a clear understanding? I don’t want to ask anyone but this person.
Zhou Banxia pretended to stare angrily, unwilling to give an honest explanation.
Gu Wenxuan pulled the thin quilt with one hand, covering his and Zhou Banxia's heads and laughed.
"It's so hot."
Gu Wenxuan couldn't help laughing, "We had a good chat. I heard him talk about how his village was like where he was staying next. He asked us if we wanted to stay a few more days."
"That's nonsense."
"How could it be so fast? You're in a hurry."
"It's not about the speed of time, but when you're chatting with people, you can't just talk nonsense. You must have stirred up certain topics intentionally or unintentionally, so you can analyze them."
Gu Wenxuan did not deny this, but the time was still too short.
Even if we set off at 9am in the morning, it will only be a few hours until noon, so we can't stay in someone else's carriage chatting all the time.
No matter how enthusiastic Zhang Qingshan is to persuade him to stay, other students will inevitably enter the carriage during this period. With more people, there will be more topics to talk about, which is simply called "too many people talking".
"Does that mean you didn't hear anything?" Unlike your Gu Wenxuan style, Zhou Banxia was puzzled, "You were the only one who got candidates in quickly on his carriage?"
"That's not the case." Gu Wenxuan explained, "Didn't there be a few people riding horses when we set off? It was almost ten o'clock, and we didn't come in until it was hot."
A student riding a horse?
Zhou Banxia remembered.
There were three silly scholars who made a mistake. Before the motorcade set off, they rode for a lap first and then fell behind the motorcade. They didn't know what they wanted to do.
"Also, it's not without gain. At least I heard that he sent people to collect water along the ten miles ahead, so there is no need to worry about water.
It's not that I can't trust the escort agency. I heard how Zhang Mansion would behave every time they go on a long trip. One is to explore the route, and the other is to find a safe area in case of sudden changes. ”
"Understood." Zhou Banxia lowered his voice, "To put it bluntly, I don't have a high official position. I can't help but have military generals in my ancestors. It's a bit like marching and scouting ahead."
"Yes, this is the difference between their well-established family and the Zhao family. Did you notice that the long-term follower next to him seems to be Lian Jiazi."
"The territory is stable?"
"Palm." Gu Wenxuan gestured with his left hand, "There are calluses here and here. It is easy to tell that this is an experienced hand practicing boxing and swordsmanship."
Zhou Banxia recalled.
Not very impressed.
The only impression she had before was of a fat, white man who was very fair. As for the other person, at a quick glance, he saw a young man in blue clothes?
"How big?"
"Twenty-seven or eight years old, I heard him say today that his nanny brother has been with him since he was seven or eight years old. It sounds like he has a lot of power, and all the guards listen to him."
"Having a child at home?"
"It should be that his nanny is his mother's maid, and his nanny is marrying his mother's maid."
That's a lot of power. I'm afraid not only these guards, but also Xiao Jiao'er's wife will have to give this steward three respects.
"The reason why this young manager Zhang did not accompany him a few days ago, and only the book boy followed him, was because he went to Shunde Mansion for him."
I have heard a lot of information, and I even know this.
"There is another crucial secret -" Gu Wenxuan deliberately waited for Zhou Banxia's reaction, "I can confirm that there is no briquettes."
Zhou Banxia immediately became energetic.
Gu Wenxuan chuckled secretly, "When he invited us to stay in his hometown for two days, I also invited him to come to our village when he was free, and we caught up with Mr. Zhao."
You old man!
"He knows that Mr. Zhao was lucky enough to make meritorious deeds before. Since Mr. Zhao mentioned the Ministry of Works, he just wanted to ask him what the Ministry of Works is specifically responsible for.
He is indeed very knowledgeable, and he is also very enthusiastic and talkative, and he also tells a lot of interesting stories.
Among them, he mentioned that the Iron Smelting Department made coke in the early years. It was really Taizu who ordered to use coke to make iron. At that time, Taizu had just led the army to fight at home, and the north and south had not yet been unified. Naturally, there was no Minister of Industry, just a workshop for making weapons.
The leader of this workshop was a cousin of Taizu. He summoned all the blacksmiths with prescriptions, but no matter how hard they worked, they couldn't make charcoal.
That's not bad, the weapon is the most important, but there is no way, no matter how hard it is, it can't be refined. Just when everyone is despairing, Taizu brings someone, who is said to be a descendant of the Moh family, back. ”
"The legendary skillful craftsman Lu Ban, the Mohist who was the master of mechanism, the Mohist who is the master of mechanism?"
Gu Wenxuan wanted to shake his head, but found himself lying down, so he simply waved his hand, "It's not a legend, it's a real heir of the Mo family.
This person was very powerful. After getting the prescription, he asked Taizu three questions, and then it took him less than a month to sort out the coke. ”
It shouldn't be.
Zhou Banxia was quite puzzled. He had been thinking about it for so long. He had asked about people openly and covertly. Why had he never heard of such a number one person?
"Listen up."
"You said."
"Don't move."
There was nothing I could do. Not only did my wife have an awkward sleeping position, she also tossed and turned when she was awake. She had no rest at all.
Gu Wenxuan came close to Zhou Banxia's ear again and had to use his legs to hold him down, "Here comes the important point."
Crazy?
This is a carriage.
"Whether it is official history or some unofficial biography, is it true that Taizu was a heavenly soldier and a divine general?"
sweat!
Talk about this?
"Is it true that all inventions and discoveries are attributed to him alone?"
Zhou Banxia was stunned, "It seems to be——"
"Boldly use the word 'seem'." The time-traveling senior has long been mythical, okay? "This man removed the coke and then disappeared."
"Gone?"
"Yes."
"Run away?"
Gu Wenxuan laughed, "Can you run away?"
"A Mohist disciple who is not a machine artist should have a certain ability to protect himself, right?"
"Not alone, even my wife and children are missing."
The master of Zhen Gong Da Gai was silenced?
Zhou Banxia suddenly trembled, "Is this the missing family that Xiaojiao'er told you about?"
"No, what he means is that this Mohist disciple removed the coke, but it's a pity that an expert is still an expert. Later, he took his wife and children to live in seclusion."
impossible!
During the period when he was still leading the army to fight at home, he was considered a prince at most, and what he lacked was talent. How could he let people go at that time, because he was afraid of losing.
Zhou Banxia secretly sighed, thinking about it without giving up, "Did you hear the word 'later' he said? It probably meant how long it would be before the coke was removed?"
Gu Wenxuan patted his wife and said, "It sounds like it's been almost two years. I estimated that time period, which is about the year or two since Thunderbolt came into the world."
"..."
"He mentioned it as an interesting fact, so I didn't ask too many questions. I just heard him think that if this person didn't follow Taizu, he would at least have the title of founding marquis."
"Do you think there is a possibility that something went wrong while participating in the Thunderbolt experiment?"
Gu Wenxuan asked softly: "Then his wife and children were accidentally bombed? We can definitely give generous rewards to his descendants. Why are they missing? There is no record of this person even in the historical records of this dynasty?"
