Zhuangda Tang Juvenile Lang

Chapter 176 Unifying the Mind
"Haha, it turned out to be Brother Ma. You guys are really unlucky. You were born in the same year, and you also took the imperial examination at the same time, but you missed the registration time at the same time. It can be said that you met the right friend at the wrong time. If you lose something, you will have it." As a result, it is rare to have a confidant in life, and it can be regarded as compensation for the two of you in the dark!"

Qin Feng laughed and said.

Liu Rengui and Ma Zhou thought about the same reasoning, and couldn't help laughing out loud.

"It's rare to have a confidant in life. That's a good point! The general's words are eloquent, and he contains the most important principles of life. He deserves his reputation." Liu Rengui couldn't help but admire.

"What is imaginary is all imaginary. Poems, songs, Fu, and Taoism can neither be eaten nor used, let alone enrich the people and strengthen the army. They are just fun in life and have little use."

Ma Zhou said with emotion: "In the world, only the general dares to speak like this."

Like Liu Rengui, Ma Zhou came from a poor family, and his situation was even worse than that of Liu Rengui. Although Liu Rengui was born in a commoner family, he could at least take care of food and clothing.And Ma Zhou was not only born poor, but also his parents died when he was young, so he was alone, doing part-time jobs by himself, and dragging himself up.In addition to making a living, he is very eager to learn. When he was less than twenty, he was full of economics and had the talent to help the world.

But because he was born in poverty, he suffered all kinds of cold looks, which made his personality extremely weird. Even though he was full of knowledge, people around him looked down on him, and he has been doing nothing.It wasn't until shortly after Liwei that Ma Zhou got the opportunity to become an official and became a small official in a neighboring county.Just like Pang Tong in the Three Kingdoms period, Ma Zhou felt that he had the talent to help the world, but he was overqualified as a knife and pen official, and he was very unhappy. He drank alcohol all day long instead of doing business.

Such a style of work was scolded by his superiors, Ma Zhou was furious, abandoned his official position and left, traveled around the world, until he met Liu Rengui in Chang'an.They share the same illness and pity each other, they are all frustrated people, they drink and talk freely with each other, pour bitter water, and become confidants.

After getting along, Liu Rengui had already discovered that Ma Zhou was far more involved in politics than him, and he was a figure comparable to Fu Shuo, Guan Zhong, and Xiao He.Such a talented person, but ended up in such a situation, it is a sigh.

"Brother Ma, to put it bluntly, I am ignorant and ignorant, and I have never heard of your name. If you say something like a long time admiration, it is perfunctory and disrespectful to you. I, Qin Feng, disdain it. However, Liu What brother said must be correct. Our Huben army is an army headed by babies! We need to fight for everything, but in terms of official documents, it is useless. We are short of government experts, and I hope Brother Ma can help me."

Ma Zhou laughed and said: "The general is really quick to talk, and Zhou is willing to serve the general." Qin Feng's words touched his heart. He is a person who does practical things. , Qin Feng did not use the achievements in poetry to explain things, but instead criticized the way of poetry, so that Ma Zhou felt a sense of confidant. Qin Feng said that he is also a person who does practical things, and this is exactly what he needs boss.

In history, before Ma Zhou made his debut, he suffered a disadvantage in his character, which made him always underappreciated, wandering around for half his life, living a life of full and hungry, and finally, forced by the livelihood, had to go to Zhonglang General Chang He, It's just been anonymous.Until a certain year, Li Shimin asked all the courtiers to write an article about the gains and losses of current affairs, and he also did self-examination.Chang He is a big bastard, so he hired Ma Zhou to write for him.

Li Shimin was taken aback by Ma Zhou's chat of a thousand words, and then he realized that there was such a great talent under his nose, so he immediately sent someone to invite Ma Zhou.Ma Zhou has a weird temper and directly refuses to see Li Shimin.

Li Shimin was thirsty for talents, so he asked Ma Zhou again and again, and only then did he meet Ma Zhou, a genius.As a result, Ma Zhou rose to prominence, and became the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty in just a few years, an extremely popular minister.

In addition, Ma Zhou did not seek fame and fortune, and became a dazzling landscape in the Zhenguan Dynasty, where famous ministers were born.

Li Shimin is good at accepting advice, and Ma Zhou and Wei Zheng are well-known admonishers.The difference is that Wei Zheng kept exposing Li Shimin's shortcomings and slapping Li Shimin in the face. Not only that, but also recorded many of Li Shimin's faults, fearing that the historian would not know and handed over to the historian to record it.Many times Li Shimin was forced to scold his mother, and clamored to kill Wei Zheng many times in front of Empress Changsun.After Wei Zheng's death, Li Shimin's attitude towards the dead Wei Zheng was extremely bad because there was no one like Empress Changsun.

Wei Zheng went down in history by stepping on Li Shimin's dignity, and he was suspected of risking his reputation at all costs.But Ma Zhou, who was also an admonisher, didn't care about this name. Before he died, he had all his memorials and admonitions burned.

In the Zhenguan Dynasty, Ma Zhou was comparable to Fu Shuo of Shang and Xiao He of Han.Such a talent with both ability and morality, when he was down and down, Qin Feng would naturally not let him go.

"I happen to be short of a clerk for the general record book next to me. Can you, sir, accept a clerk for the time being?"

The status of the recorder is the same as Liu Rengui's military service, the status is not very high, but they are both important positions.

Ma Zhou's personality is a little weird, and because of this, he is often looked down upon, except for a few friends, he is rarely recognized.Although he is talented, he has been doing nothing. On the contrary, he is regarded as a mediocre assassin Da Xishu scolded him bloody, needless to say he felt distressed in his chest.Qin Feng was born noble, and he is also a man who is famous all over the world, so he does not show the slightest arrogance. His truthfulness and sincerity moved Ma Zhou's heart, and he said in a deep voice, "Ma Zhou will never disappoint the general's expectations."

The ancients rarely called themselves by their full names, and only when their emotions reached a certain limit would they call themselves by their full names.

After accepting Liu Rengui and Ma Zhou, Qin Feng was so happy that he almost jumped up. This time, he finally didn't have to deal with mountainous government affairs and logistical matters, and Su Lie and Zhang Shigui could be their simple generals with peace of mind. This is definitely a happy event that kills three birds with one stone.

"I really have to thank the little devil Anbei Jintu. Otherwise, I wouldn't have met the two of you." At this moment, Qin Feng sincerely thanked the little devil who let him blast him out of the gate. If it wasn't for him, he wouldn't have entered the palace. ;If you don't enter the palace, you will miss the two great talents, "If I knew this, I shouldn't treat him so badly."

Liu Rengui and Ma Zhou only listened in the dark, but they knew that their luck to meet Qin Feng and be reused by him was definitely related to the person who installed the stele or Jin Tu.

"General, excuse me for talking too much, this Anbei Jintu does not seem to be from the Central Plains?" Liu Rengui asked, he is a sincere gentleman, and he feels that if he achieves success in the future, he must thank others.

"Anbei Jintu is from the Wa country. That guy is short, ugly, and dark, just like the ghost in the legend. Let me call him a little devil."

Qin Feng sneered and said: "This little devil has a lot of ambitions!"

Ma Zhou was busy asking questions.

Qin Feng didn't hide anything, so he told all the things that Anbei Jintu asked for.

Liu Rengui and Ma Zhouyi looked dignified. They are first-class talents, so they naturally know the importance of technology to the empire.

Ma Zhou couldn't sit still anymore, and said in a deep voice: "General, smelting, refining, medicine, farming, breeding, horse training... are all the crystallization of our Chinese nation for thousands of years, and they are also the root of our superiority over other races. It must not fall into the hands of any foreigner including the Japanese, the little devil has evil intentions and sinister intentions. I suggest that I immediately suggest to His Majesty that all skills should be kept secret and must not be shown to others."

Qin Feng had a heart of confidant, and said with a smile: "Smelting and refining weapons can make our weapons beneficial to others, and our armor is stronger than others; medicine makes us stronger than others and live longer than others; farming and breeding make people richer than others... …Giving these unique skills to them is definitely not worth the loss. I have already told His Majesty half a year ago. Nowadays, the imperial court has strictly controlled the skills. Brother Ma, please rest assured."

Ma Zhou said sincerely: "Your Majesty is wise and powerful, and the general has a long-term vision. The subordinates are too worried."

"No, no, no!" Qin Feng said: "When this resolution was implemented that day, His Majesty endured a lot of resistance, and it took two days to pass it unanimously." With a cold snort, he continued: "Those rotten scholars It is said that the celestial dynasty should have the demeanor of the celestial dynasty, and should educate all races in the world, and finally realize the great unity of the world. I was so angry that I almost became an assassin."

Liu Rengui and Ma Zhouxiang were astonished. They never expected that the gentle and gentle Qin Feng would have such an idea. However, this attitude of serving the world regardless of personal gains and losses was appreciated by them.

Ma Zhou snorted coldly and said: "If you are not of my race, your heart must be different. After acquiring advanced skills, the sword is not aimed at the so-called Celestial Dynasty in the end? They are also human. I don't know what those bastards think. Literature and art It can be shared, can the most important weapon of the country be shared? Those corrupt meetings have more than succeeded than ruined."

"That's right." Liu Rengui interjected: "When I was traveling in Dengzhou, I saw a group of little devils. Since I had never been in contact with them, I observed them closely. I found that these people have amazing will and vow not to achieve their goals. Unstoppable stubbornness, and viciousness like a poisonous snake. They have their eyes on the skills of the empire, and they are powerless on the surface. I worry that they will use shady means secretly to achieve their goals."

"You're right. The little devils have exactly the same temperament. Like the Turks, they worship the strong and despise the weak. However, they are a hundred times more ruthless than the Turks, because the Japanese are not only ruthless to others, They are also cruel to their closest relatives. Due to the long-term shortage of food in the Wa country, an unwritten rule has been formed: when the old man reaches the age of 60 or loses his first tooth, he will be regarded as a burden by them, and his son will carry it to the mountain. Go up and let it destroy itself. (Note: The movie "Narayama Festival Test")"

Liu Rengui and Ma Zhou could only hear their scalps tingle and their hearts go cold. They never dreamed that such a cruel nation existed in this world.

Qin Feng's words had a great impact on the minds of the two of them. Both of them were extremely filial people, and their aversion to the little devil suddenly rose to the extreme.

"Beasts are better!"

"There should be no such nation in the world."

Ma Zhou and Liu Rengui said a few words one after another. They did not doubt Qin Feng, because such things can be found out after investigation, and Qin Feng would not lie!

"Wa people have set foot in the Central Plains since the previous dynasty. The number of people is increasing year by year, and the gold they bring is also increasing year by year. However, they donate very little to the court? Then, the money was Where are they used? I suspect that there are two purposes, to buy some unscrupulous officials; second, to buy local rogues and establish an institution that specializes in collecting imperial secrets."

"It's possible!" Ma Zhou said.

Qin Feng said: "Therefore, I entered the palace this morning and asked His Majesty for an imperial decree to find these cancerous tumors. No matter whether it is a first-rank official or an ordinary person, anyone who betrays the interests of the country will die!"

"Do your best to serve your country!"

"Do your best to serve your country!"
