Waves at the end of Han Dynasty

Chapter 34
In the early morning two days later, the Juxian caravan set off on their return journey.

Jilan rode on the newly purchased Huma to act as the outpost and guard of the whole team, galloping around to patrol, while Qin Li sat on the cart with his head bowed and counted the accounts repeatedly, and Chen Wentian followed the other horse on horseback. In the big car, they were discussing with a very thin man in worn linen clothes all the way.

That's right, this person is Yu He, a new member of their team, after Chen Wentian told Qin Li to recruit people with special skills, Qin Li discovered it when he was purchasing goods.

It is said that such a craftsman is generally not easy to find. If it were not for the flood, he would not leave his hometown and come to Jiaodong.

In the Han Dynasty, many things were kept secret. As long as knowledge, academics, skills, etc. were useful, they should be kept secret. These things were either kept in the family and passed down through clan studies, or passed down through the master-student relationship.

Relatively speaking, the channels are relatively narrow, and it is precisely this that has caused many excellent cultures and skills in China to be lost or even regressed due to various reasons.

This is actually a very simple truth, but no one will change it. Why did Confucius and a few scholars become great Confucians? Because they taught without distinction. To some extent, they selflessly shared or shared the knowledge they had mastered. Take it out to communicate...

And more people, especially the aristocratic family, whenever they get something useful or experience, they first secretly record it to make it a part of the family study, and strictly protect it to prevent leakage.

The more you think about hiding your private interests, the more you want to monopolize it, the easier it will be lost or lost in the end. At least the lack of communication and reference has hindered the development of many science and technology.

Among them, the group of artisans is inherited from master to apprentice, but they are also attached to the gentry. Since there are very few similar government-run institutions, the number of artisans who eat official meals is almost negligible, just like Yu He, who was arguing with Chen Wentian at the time.

Yu He was a carpenter, to be more precise, a carver. He entered the Puyang Ding family in Yanzhou as an apprentice in his early years. His master was a carpenter who was responsible for carving exquisite patterns on the wooden beams of the family's buildings.

After a long period of study, he also became the same craftsman. This year, Yanzhou was hit by a catastrophe, and Puyang was the hardest hit area. The Ding family also suffered heavy losses and struggled to survive. In order to reduce the burden, the Ding family and some later generations encountered difficulties "Enterprises" began to lay off workers...

Yu He was also unfortunately laid off soon. Before leaving, the kind master wrote a letter of introduction, asking him to come to Jiaodong, Qingzhou to find the Yan family to make a living...

Perhaps it was because the surrounding environment was not too chaotic at the early stage of the disaster when we set off, or maybe there was some strong luck buff. In short, Yu He was lucky to escape a lot of disasters along the way.

After all, the long-distance migration of civilians in the Han Dynasty could only be done on foot. The time was very long, and the public security outside the city was very poor, let alone the period of famine.

However, after arriving in Jiaodong, Yu He's luck seems to have run out. Yan's "enterprise" has been in decline as a whole in recent years, and life is not easy. After learning that Yu He's skill is relatively unorthodox wooden beam carving, he ruthlessly rejected him. Unwillingly, Yu He went to several other families and they all hit a wall...

So the unaccompanied Yu He was saddened, even if he lived frugally, the money he carried was about to be spent, and he wandered around Jiaodong anxiously until he met Qin Li.

----

After some disputes, Chen Wentian was a little speechless. He originally thought that it would not matter if he could not find craftsmen with good skills and skills in short supply. After all, these people were almost all cultivated by big clans, and they would definitely not let them go easily.

Then find some unpopular skills or even apprentices who only learned basic skills. As long as he uses his brain of later generations to make some innovative and simple and practical things, it will be enough for the current start-up team to play a role.

The big deal is to gradually expand the team's research and development in the future, and the steps can only be taken step by step.

But what he didn't expect was that when he just started communicating, he encountered resistance from the other party before he finished his ideas. Yu He, who was only in his 30s, was very rigid. His reason was that his master had never taught him other skills. He can't change the created category without authorization...

Chen Wentian has imagined the problems he might encounter with this idea, such as the craftsmanship of the Han Dynasty cannot be achieved, such as the inability to find suitable materials, or the things made are too advanced and inappropriate, or the cost is too high Unable to sell well, etc., but he never thought that the first problem was the bondage of the master-student relationship...!
He tried to persuade Yu He with the principles of later generations, but the other party was also very persistent, and he observed that the people around him who heard Yu He's words also had normal expressions, and felt that there was nothing wrong with it, which was troublesome...

In the end, Chen Wentian had no choice but to give up. He would discuss with Qin Li when the caravan was resting today. If it worked, let Qin Li communicate with this stubborn old man...

But before he came back to his senses, he saw Ji Lan riding back from a distance.

Two riders came with him, and Jilan went uncharacteristically, and arranged for everyone to rest on the spot before entering the queue. Obviously, there was something wrong...

"Today is not right..."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Autumn is tall and horses are fat, which has different meanings for the northern Han Dynasty.

The war horses are in the best condition, and the autumn harvest is over. It is the slack season, and the temperature is neither hot nor cold, which is necessary for killing and looting... Well, it is a good time to attack the enemy chieftains and expand the territory.

At this time, there is a large group of cavalry galloping on the official road of Taiyuan County in Bingzhou. There is a big difference between the skilled and elite cavalry and those county soldiers who have just been recruited or have not seen blood. Equipped with some cavalry, but can riding a horse count as cavalry?

With less than [-] flying cavalry, paired with two horses, they created a mighty and invincible aura of a large army marching, and because it was close to Jinyang, the capital of Bingzhou, the two sides of the official road were no longer desolate, and a group of gentry children came here one after another They ate melons and gasped in admiration, after all, they hadn't seen such a majestic army for many years.

"These knights can be described as the elite of the great man, if they can make the most of it, why worry about the inferior generation!"...

"War horses clank, soldiers armor Pengpeng..."

"Well, this, this...the Han army is mighty..."

Regardless of the various approvals from others, Lu Bu stopped immediately, looked at the queues that continued to pass him, and saw some ordinary soldiers yelling from time to time to remind them to pay attention to certain essentials, occasionally talking with some vulgar humor. Make others laugh.

He is happiest when he sees the flying cavalry he brought grow rapidly in successive victories, and sees some young people gradually becoming veterans...

For this reason, he almost unreservedly imparted his various combat experience to all the flying knights, of course only limited to those who can listen, understand, and survive.

He even often gave advice to Gao Shun, Wei Xu and others to help them improve their martial arts, and told them his tactics and some tips on leading troops. Of course, it must be when Lu Bu is happy, such as now.

What made him happy was that the governor of Bingzhou sent an envoy to summon him and asked him to come to Jinyang with a flying horse, saying that he had important matters to discuss.

He didn't see the envoy, because at that time he was still destroying the bandit village in the cloud, Zhang Yang came to tell him with a letter, but this is not important, the important thing is that the governor summoned him!
This shows that they are about to receive official support, and it shows that their flying cavalry has made a name for themselves.

Less than two months after starting the army, Wuyuan Lu's family is finally going to make a name for himself in his hands. Whoever said that warriors are not advisable, in this troubled world, the swords and guns in the hands are the most effective!
He also has plans to come to Jinyang this time. In addition to obtaining an official status, he also has to fight for some food and military supplies. Now that his team is growing, the logistics pressure is very heavy. Zhang Yang, who is in charge of logistics and military supplies, has come to him many times to complain. ...

Although a lot of goods were obtained from the conquest of various cottages, and the surrounding aristocratic family estates also offered some wine and food, but it was still not enough. Most of the seized they had no way to sell, so they could only exchange part of the discount and some aristocratic families for food.

This time he brought all the remaining goods, and discussed with Zhang Yang. Some of them were dedicated to the governor to make a good impression, and some of them were sold at the Jinyang market for food. It should be able to make do with it for a while. .

Then he will ask the governor to go deep into the desert to beat Xianbei!

Yes, relying on his more than 1000 flying cavalry.

What?Power disparity?A certain Lu Bu will not be reckless, he is going to use maneuvers to fight against maneuvers and Xianbei people, just like Huo Qubing back then!
I have ruled beyond the Great Wall for decades, how can I let Xianbei children bully me like this...

"Report! There are dozens of horses chasing after ten miles behind, please decide the Lord." Suddenly a scout came galloping from behind on horseback, and started to shout from afar.

"Let Wei Feihou go and ask the other party's intentions..."

----

After a while, Wei Xu brought a person to Lu Bu.

Seeing this man's facial features are resolute and very young, he is reining in his gun and reining in his horse, he is very heroic, but his clothes are worn out and bloodstains are hidden, his brows and eyes are anxious and there is also deep fatigue, obviously because he has been traveling all night.

"I don't know what to call a strong man, but is there something about looking for a flying cavalry?" Although Lu Bu didn't know the person coming, he didn't neglect him in the slightest, and asked earnestly, clasping his hands.

Because he felt the opponent's impressive strength, this is an indescribable feeling among warriors, and this is the first time Lu Bu has experienced this feeling. Although the opponent seems weaker, he can roughly judge this person Martial arts will not be much weaker than myself...

"In Xiayanmen, Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan heard that the general raised righteous soldiers to defeat the bandits and protect the villagers, so he came here to borrow troops to defeat the Xianbei and rescue the captive Han people!" The visitor said, getting off his horse and bowing in front of Lu Bu's horse.

"The intention of a strong man has been there for a long time, but now the governor has summoned him, and let him tell the governor, then how about leading the whole army to go with you?" Lu Bu dragged out his plan without any scruples.

"General, the matter is urgent now. The Xianbei brigade has already returned at this time, but it will inevitably travel slowly with the kidnapped Han people. If it is delayed in entering the city... I am afraid it will not be possible. I have traveled thousands of miles. I hope the general thinks about the danger of the Han people to a certain forward. In the future, Liao's friendship will be reported later!" Zhang Liao replied eagerly after hearing this.

He came all the way from Changshan, holding the last hope in his heart...

"Hmm...so...an order to divert the entire army!" Lu Bu hesitated for a moment before ordering decisively.
