With the reward order from Luoyang, Ma Qiang can officially disband the team.

Ma Qiang was unwilling to let the hard-trained cavalry be completely dispersed, so he selected two thousand people. Among them, Xian Yufu led a thousand people to take office, and Yan Rou took a thousand people with him to Qingzhou. The remaining

Only those who do it will be given rewards and disbanded.

When the three Liu Bei brothers learned that Liu Bei had become the county magistrate, they naturally drank happily. Liu Bei promised on the spot to make Zhang Fei the county captain and Guan Yu the county magistrate. They said goodbye to Ma Qiang and took office.

As for the other soldiers and horses, Ma Qiang planned to keep five thousand in the Red Star Camp and take five thousand with him. The rest would be transformed into soldiers and civilians. Some would stay in Guangyang and Yuyang, and some would be taken to the plains.

At the same time, Ma Qiang also launched two projects, namely building docks and building ships. Both of these projects take a lot of time.

——Taoist temple outside Red Star Camp

"That's it? What a small Taoist temple~" Zhang Ning looked around and said with some dissatisfaction.

"Fu Sheng Boundless Heavenly Lord!" Gan Shi walked out of the Taoist temple, still holding a whisk in his hand, and muttered, "Old Master Zhang is not a man's son. If you don't want to get into trouble, just pass it on to me. Next time, you have to be in his soup."

You can’t add more croton!”

With that said, Gan Shi looked at Zhang Ning and said to Ma Qiang, "Is he the camp leader?"

Zhang Ning looked at Gan Shi, put his hands on his hips and hummed, "How dare you look down on me, you idiot! I don't want to stay with you yet!" As he said this, Zhang Ning grabbed Ma Qiang's clothes and burst into tears.

Looking at Ma Qiang, "Brother Xiaoma, are you just abandoning me like this? I'm still a child. When my father left, he said that you were the most loyal and would definitely take good care of me. If he knew that you abandoned me,

If you give this wretched cow a nose, he will definitely cry..."

Zhang Ning has finally figured out these days that Ma Qiang is a standard person who takes soft things rather than hard ones. He is also very easy to talk to and doesn't like to be shy at all.

Ma Qiang twisted his mouth, what the hell? Didn't you say that you were still unconscious when Zhang Jiao died? Why did you say that I am loyal? Besides, you said that I am the most loyal. Where can I put the second brother Guan? You are not swearing.

Well.

"Zhang Ning, you are still young and still need to study. Master Gan is very knowledgeable about Taoism. Don't you like Taoism? It is the best choice for you to follow him."

Zhang Ning tilted his head and looked at Gan Shi and asked, "If there is something wrong in a person's belly, why is it red on the back?"

Gan Shi said without raising his eyes, "The heart is the lord of the five treasures. The lord is the king. The king is responsible for the uprightness. Any faults will be revealed to the sky."

Zhang Ning continued to ask, "My face turned blue when I was shocked. Why?"

"The liver is the master, and people are worried about it. On the contrary, the liver and gallbladder are angry, so they are blue."

Zhang Ning nodded, thought for a while, and then asked, "Do you know the Silver Snow Technique?"

Gan Shi frowned and thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I don't know."

Zhang Ning immediately became proud and hummed, "Take one catty of mercury and fifteen taels of Chinese stone, and combine them to make them ripe. Boil the mercury in mellow vinegar for nine days and nine nights. When the vinegar is exhausted, you will boil it with it, and the mercury will be ready."

Ning, you don’t even know this, and you still want to teach me!”

Gan Shi blushed and said, "Which scripture is this?"

Zhang Ning made a face and said, "I won't tell you, just a little bit!"

Ma Qiang was a little surprised when he heard this.

He didn't expect that Zhang Ning actually knew some chemistry knowledge.

"Zhang Ning, do you know how to make alchemy?" Ma Qiang asked.

Zhang Ning nodded and then shook his head and said, "I don't know how. These are just scriptures."

This kid has a very good brain.

"Zhang Ning, I'm going to Qingzhou soon. If you really want to follow me, you have to become my teacher. Although my science does not conflict with Taoism, there are no gods in my discipline."

Zhang Ning knelt down and bowed on the spot and said, "Master, please bow to me, my disciple!"

This move was so fast that Ma Qiang didn't even have time to catch her.

Zhang Ning grinned and said, "My father can't become a god. I don't think there are any gods in this world. I want to teach the Tao of Taiping. It's for my father, second uncle, and third uncle. But I also think your science is quite good."

Interestingly, I heard from Sister Qingcheng that you can also make things that can fly."

Speaking of taking off, Gan Shi became very excited.

"That is, Pindao flew in the sky for nine days and nine nights that day. I want to think about that day! Pindao..."

"Stop it! Taoist Gan, in this case, Zhang Ning will not be placed in the Taoist temple, so you are busy."

"Don't mention it, camp owner...well...Qingzhou and Pindao are actually related!"

...

"Really! I did the math!"

"You are the one who goes to Qingzhou!"

"Thank you camp master!"

Who are the people under him?

However, Ma Qiang also understood that Gan Shi wanted to learn more science in the Red Star Camp. It would probably take several years for him to leave, so naturally he did not want to stay in Youzhou.

But Zhang Zhen is different. Zhang Zhen is now more interested in popular education than science, so he can stay in Youzhou.

——

Outside Jixian County, two Confucian scholars came here at this time. Both of them have Luoyang accents and have elegant manners. They are very special in a border area like Youzhou.

"Wen He, along the way, people have had a good reputation for Liu Shijun. Do you really not want to go and see it?"

On the way here, Jia Xu told Yan Zhong that he was not optimistic about Liu Yu's success in the future and was going to look elsewhere. This made Yan Zhong feel a little disappointed.

"Teacher, Liu Shijun is a true gentleman, and you can't get along with someone like me." Jia Xu said with a smile.

Yan Zhong sighed and looked at the busy traffic in Jixian County. He cupped his hands and said, "Wen He, I'm going to say goodbye today. I don't know who can see me again. Take care!"

"Treasure your teacher!"

The two parted ways, and Yan Zhong went to seek refuge with Liu Yu, while Jia Xu came to Changping.

As soon as he entered Changping County, Jia Xu saw a stall advertising job recruitment, and many people gathered in front of it.

"Recruiting workers? May I ask where there are fortifications?" Jia Xu dismounted and asked.

The person in charge of recruiting workers saw that Jia Xu was wearing Confucian clothes and riding a horse. He knew that he was not a nobleman but also from a wealthy family, so he politely said, "This is the fortification of the Red Star Camp. They are planning to expand the wharf in Yushui and build ships, so we need to recruit."

boatman."

"Expand the dock and build ships? Why is this?"

"I heard that Zhang Sheng, the campist brother, was recommended as the county magistrate of Quanzhou. There is a waterway between Quanzhou and Changping, so that's why."

Jia Xu nodded and thought to himself, Ma Qiang was appointed as the Prime Minister of Pingyuan. Quanzhou and Pingyuan were only separated by Bohai County. Could it be that there was a premeditated plan? It would be better to go to Quanzhou to have a look.

——Quanzhou

"Come, let me see, wow! This is official!" Lu Ning looked at Zhang Sheng wearing county magistrate's clothes, and tears suddenly appeared in his eyes.

It was not easy. After many twists and turns, the man I married finally became the county magistrate.

Although there is only one level difference between the county magistrate and the county captain, countless people will never be able to get past this level in their lifetime.

"Let's go out and show Prime Minister Ma!" Zhang Ning pulled Zhang Sheng, who was still a little embarrassed, to the door. Ma Qiang and others were waiting outside.

"Haha, Sister Ning, my brother looks so energetic in this outfit!" Ma Qiang cupped his hands and said, "I have seen County Magistrate Zhang!"

Zhang Sheng waved his hand hurriedly and said, "Don't dare! I know how I came to be an official. Just tell me, Prime Minister Ma, what you want me to do!"

Ma Qiang smiled and said, "Just run Quanzhou well. There are 60,000 to 70,000 people to be resettled this time!"
