In the morning, Huaicheng.

Although the sun is shining, the spring is in full swing and people are wearing thick clothes.

In the palace, Zhang Xiu sat cross-legged in a side hall, waiting for someone to come.

The palace was built temporarily, far less majestic and gorgeous than the Luoyang Royal Palace. For example, this side hall seems narrow.

But the area covers a large enough area to block Zhang Xiu's harem.

Including Empress Cai Yan, all the young wives in the harem who could serve in bed came. As a result, Hu Ben, Qimen, Yulin three armed forces, eunuchs, palace maids, etc., were responsible for defending the palace.

Not long after, a tiger led a young man in.

Zhang Xiu looked up and looked at it. The young man looked ordinary and dressed poorly. He lowered his head slightly and was very humble and respectful.

"Your Majesty." The tiger soldiers led the young man to a certain distance from Zhang Xiu and stopped. The young man bowed to Zhang Xiu.

"Sit down. There is no need to be restrained." Zhang Xiu said with a very kind look.

"No." The young man responded to No, let out a breath, and obediently came to the side to sit down.

Your Majesty is really like rumor, respecting the wise and the wise. Your Majesty is so kind to me.

The young man was very moved. His family was poor and had never read too many books, but he was able to think ingeniously and create many things that could improve farmers' production. However, this "strange and lewd skill" did not change his identity and status much.

No matter where he went, he was not welcomed. Later, he entered the Ministry of Works and was promoted.

This time, he was so confused that he was recommended to see the emperor by Shangguan. He was really nervous.

Zhang Xiu looked at the young man, but was very satisfied. The young man was named Ma Jun. He was a famous mechanical inventor in history, not a simple carpenter or blacksmith.

Such people have no direct effect in the war to pacify the world. Zhang Xiu’s previous fights from all over the world did not pay much attention to Ma Jun.

As the lower world gradually calmed down today, people like Ma Jun also appeared in front of him. Naturally.

"Ma Qing. I heard that you have invented a keel waterwheel that can transport water from low places to high places. You have also improved the silk weaving machine and improved efficiency and speed."

Ma Jun's information flashed through Zhang Xiu's mind, and he asked with a smile.

"Yes." Ma Jun bowed his hand and said in a terrifying manner.

He has a stuttering problem and is not good at speaking.

Zhang Xiu nodded and said, "I have something for you to see."

"Paipapapapapapapapa." After Zhang Xiu finished speaking, he gently patted his palm. Soon after, two tigers walked in with a burning stove, and the long-mouthed kettle that was about to boil was placed on the stove.

After Hu Ben put down the stove, he bowed to Zhang Xiu and turned around and left.

Ma Jun is not good at speaking, but he is very good at thinking. He knew that Zhang Xiu would never be aimless in doing this, so he stared at the kettle.

Soon after, the water from the kettle boiled, and hot steam gushed out of the long mouth, and the lid was jumping.

The water in the kettle was boiling.

Ma Jun just stared at the kettle, and the process lasted for about half a quarter of an hour.

Zhang Xiu asked, "How is it? Do you have any ideas?"

"Hot air... can push the lid." Ma Jun said intermittently, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

"Babababababa." Zhang Xiu applauded Ma Jun. He was worthy of being a genius inventor and immediately understood.

"You are here to sit here." Zhang Xiu greeted.

"No." Ma Jun responded to the promise in a regular manner and came to Zhang Xiu to sit down.

Zhang Xiu took out the hand-cranked transmission device he made from behind and swayed in front of Ma Jun. Ma Jun stared at the device and looked at it, his eyes gradually shining.

"I want to build an iron truck that can be loaded with a lot of goods without a horse pull. The power is hot air, which uses hot air to push the device and continuously push it. I give you this idea, craftsmen, manpower, and money. I set up a yamen for you alone, called [Liangguo Science and Technology Academy]. If you can invent this thing, I will give you a marquis."

Zhang Xiu put down the transmission device and wrote a real check.

The technology tree cannot be pointed by a person.

Zhang Xiu can provide ideas, but it is impossible to build any steam engine. The person who executes it will be Ma Jun.

However, Zhang Xiu can change it, and the Chinese people do not pay attention to technology. If Ma Jun built the steam engine, Zhang Xiu was even willing to grant Ma Jun the Marquis of Wanhu and give high treatment to craftsmen in the [Liangguo Academy of Sciences].

With the precedent of Ma Jun, there are probably many people in the world who are rushing to learn from Ma Jun and make things.

As the saying goes, "The King of Chu is so thin that he starved to death in the palace."

Who can change many things for kings, especially those who founded kings like Zhang Xiu, who were in power and Weifu ascended the throne, will be prosperous.

The Han people were very smart, such as Zhuge Liang was good at ingenious thinking, Ma Jun was good at ingenious thinking, and started working on natural things, etc.

The achievements of these Han inventors eventually turned into Western nutrients.

With Zhang Xiu here, this would not have happened.

"No." Ma Jun's voice was extremely loud, and he was so excited that he was a little trembling.

Zhang Xiu nodded with satisfaction, "I am a marquis, this check is enough for Ma Jun to sacrifice himself. With the financial and material support of the empire."

It is only a matter of time that the steam engine was created.

Immediately, Zhang Xiu called Cai Mao and Ma Jun went down with his passionate blood. The technology tree began to grow automatically, so there was no need to be too impatient.

After thinking for a while, Zhang Xiu asked Ma Dai to prepare his carriage and horses, guard him, and left the palace and county town, and came to a manor outside the city.

At present, the people of Hedong and the two counties of Henei have migrated back. Spring farming is underway. This manor is Zhuge Liang's Diannong School Office. The fields outside the manor are also his experimental field.

Zhuge Liang summoned many old farmers who were good at farming and developed his hybrid rice and wheat.

In fact, the land in Hebei is not suitable for rice cultivation. But as long as manpower and material resources are invested, it can still be done.

It's the experimental field.

However, hybrid rice and wheat are not something that can be achieved overnight. Hybridization, cultivation, selection, etc. cannot produce results without three to five years. If it is to promote it to the world, it is impossible without ten or twenty years.

Like the Tech Tree, this thing is a slow and future-rich thing.

Zhuge Liang is responsible for this matter, but he is currently mainly engaged in farming in Hedong and Hanoi counties, and has also sent his subordinates to do this matter.

After Zhang Xiu entered the manor, he saw Zhuge Liang frowning and looking at the official document.
