Chapter 353 The Horse Trader

When Dian Wei saw Han Zhan's gift, his eyes shone and asked curiously: Lord, what exactly is this? I think you seem to be interested in it.

Fengxiao, Han Zhan did not answer Dian Wei's primary question, but turned his head to look at Guo Jia: Tell Ziman, what is this? Although Han Zhan asked Guo Jia to introduce to Dian Wei what this is, he was still a little uneasy, afraid that Guo Jia would say that he didn't know this thing.

Fortunately, Guo Jia did not disappoint him, and he said the name of the gift without hesitation: the name of this object was the seismometer, which was made by Zhang Heng and Zhang Pingzi in the first year of Yangjia.

Dian Wei asked blankly: Mr. Guo, don’t know what this thing is for?

Guo Jia pointed at the seismometer with the feather fan in his hand and said to Dian Wei: This object has eight directions, each direction has a dragon head with a dragon ball in its mouth, and a toad is corresponding to it. If there is a earth dragon turning over in any direction, then the dragon ball contained in the dragon mouth in that direction will fall into the toad's mouth. Therefore, even if it is a thousand miles away, the direction of the birth dragon can be measured.

Dian Wei touched his beard and said with some doubt: Mr. Guo, can this thing really measure the direction of the earth dragon turning over?

That's right. Guo Jia nodded and continued: On November 1, 3rd year of Yangjia, a dragon head of the seismometer suddenly spit out a copper ball and fell into the toad's mouth. But at that time, the people in the capital did not feel any signs of an earthquake, so some people began to discuss and blame the seismometer for being ineffective.

So, this seismometer is inaccurate? Dian Wei rushed to say without waiting for Guo Jia to finish his words: I wonder if this Zhang Heng and Zhang Pingzi received punishment from His Majesty?

Guo Jia waved his hand at Dian Wei and continued: Who knew that a few days later, someone in Longxi quickly reported that the Earth Dragon was indeed born there a few days ago. As a result, people began to be extremely convinced of Zhang Heng's high technology. You should know that Longxi is more than a thousand miles away from Luoyang and the seismometer is marked correctly, which means that its seismic sensitivity is relatively high.

After listening to Guo Jia's popular science, Dian Wei asked curiously: Since this thing exists in the capital, why did it come to Shangdang again?

The eighteen princes attacked Dong Zhuo. Guo Jia replied: Seeing that Dong Zhuo could not resist, he took the sage, civil and military officials and the people of the whole city to Chang'an. Before leaving, he set a fire in Luoyang. Fortunately, the eighteen princes saw that Luoyang was on fire and promptly raised their troops to occupy Luoyang. In Jia's opinion, perhaps this seismic meter was the one that Zhang Yang brought people into the palace to put out the fire.

Lord. After figuring out the ins and outs of the seismometer, Dian Wei asked Han Zhan for advice: How should we deal with this thing?

Fengxiao, what do you think? Han Zhan habitually pushed the problem to Guo Jia.

Guo Jia thought for a while and then replied: Lord, according to the itinerary, we will go to Changshan County in the next few days to meet with Zhang Yan, the leader of the Black Mountain Army there. It is a lot of inconvenience to carry such a thing. In Jia's opinion, why not send someone to send it back to Yecheng?

Han Zhan thought Guo Jia's proposal was not bad. He said to Hua Hu who was standing aside: County Magistrate Hua, this marquis will leave here tomorrow and go to Changshan County. This marquis will hand you this seismometer, and you can arrange personnel as soon as possible and send them to Yecheng. Do you understand?

My subordinates understood. After hearing Han Zhan’s order, Hua Hu hurriedly said respectfully: Please rest assured, lord, I will definitely send this thing to Yecheng safely.

Now, the chief of the Chief Xun of Yecheng was in charge. Guo Jia instructed Hua Hu: After this item was transported to Yecheng, he would send someone to contact Chief Xun of Xun and ask him to find a suitable place to properly place the item.

After arranging the seismometer, Han Zhan saw that Luo Bu had not come back yet, and said to Hua Hu: County Magistrate Hua, Luo’s guard has not come back since yesterday. Send someone to Hua Nuan Pavilion to find Bagu, and ask her and Luo to come to the county government with the county government.

Hua Hu hurriedly called a yamen runner who was familiar with Hua Nuan Pavilion and told him: You should hurry to Hua Nuan Pavilion to find Bagu, and ask her to come back with Guard Luo, and say that the lord has urgent matters to see them.

After the yamen runners were dispatched, after about two incense sticks, Luo Bu and Bagu walked in from outside side by side. As soon as they saw Han Zhan sitting in the middle, the two hurriedly knelt down and saluted: Join the lord "The Lord of the House"!

No gifts! Han Zhan reached out to help him, and then said to the two of them: I will set off for Changshan County tomorrow, and you two cannot participate in your marriage.

Hearing that Han Zhan was going to Changshan County tomorrow, Robu raised his head and was about to say something, but suddenly he realized that the meaning of Han Zhan's words was that he did not intend to let himself go with him, but to stay here to marry his eight aunt. He asked tentatively: Lord, are you not planning to take your subordinates to go with you?

Originally, you must be indispensable when you go to Changshan County. Han Zhan looked at Rob and said: But you did something that you were sorry for Bagu, so I plan to punish you.

As soon as Han Zhan finished speaking, Rob lowered his head and said: I am willing to be punished!

Lord Fujun. Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, the eight aunt next to him continued: Rob has admitted his mistake to me. You have a lot of you, so just bypass him. After that, he also cast a affectionate look at Rob.

No, you must be punished. Han Zhan said firmly. Seeing the nervous expressions on the faces of Bagu and Rob, Han Zhan smiled faintly, and then said: Rob, I will punish you to stay here to accompany Bagu. When will the Bagu become pregnant and when will you return to my side?

When Bagu heard Han Zhan's punishment on Luo Bu, he actually asked him to stay in Sheguo County to accompany him. He had to wait until he was pregnant before leaving here and returning to Yecheng. Two blushings flew on his face. When Luo Bu heard Han Zhan say this, he couldn't say anything, just staring at Bagu and keeping giggling.

Seeing the two of them leaving Han Zhan aside, Guo Jia was afraid that Han Zhan would be unhappy, so he quickly coughed heavily, and then said to Rob: Rob, why are you still standing there? Why don’t you thank your lord for your grace quickly?

Guo Jia said, awakening the two of them. Rob and Bagu quickly knelt down again, kowtowed to Han Zhan, and said: Thank you for your kindness, "Mr. Fu"!

Early the next morning, Han Zhan took Guo Jiadianwei and three thousand cavalrymen to leave Sheguo County, and headed north along the mountain road, preparing to cross the Taihang Mountains directly to Changshan County to meet Zhang Yan.

When Dian Wei saw Han Zhan's gift, his eyes shone and asked curiously: Lord, what exactly is this? I think you seem to be interested in it.

Fengxiao, Han Zhan did not answer Dian Wei's primary question, but turned his head to look at Guo Jia: Tell Ziman, what is this? Although Han Zhan asked Guo Jia to introduce to Dian Wei what this is, he was still a little uneasy, afraid that Guo Jia would say that he didn't know this thing.
