Lu Dynasty

Chapter 431 Zheng Hun
Pu Yuan and Ma Jun were shocked when they heard what I said. This sentence is very important in their eyes!The old blacksmith has been with me for more than ten years, he knows my character.So the old blacksmith said: "My lord, you are joking. No matter what time, the Ministry of Industry is the Ministry of Industry of the lord, and the surname is always Lu! If anyone dares to object, I, Old Zheng, will be the first to agree!" The old blacksmith patted his chest Guaranteed, the artisans of the Ministry of Industry are all loyal to me.

"I don't trust others, how can I not trust you, Old Zheng? I'm just kidding! Well, it's been a long time since you guys have seen each other, so let's talk about the past. I'll go to Guo Jia and ask him to find Zheng Hun too. When the time comes I have a few of you under my command, the princes of the world, who is still my opponent!" The soldiers trained by Gao Shun were originally rare elites in the world, and with the weapons and equipment made by Zheng Hun, Pu Yuan, and Ma Jun, I used them I can think of the pitiful appearance of Yuan Shao and Cao when I conquered the world.Just as I was about to leave, I suddenly remembered that I had always called Lao Zheng an old blacksmith, and his son was called a little blacksmith. Now that the old blacksmith and his son finally have names, I must let them register in the register.I said to the old blacksmith: "Old Zheng! Now that you and your son have names, go back and register with the Ministry of Agriculture. Don't let me be called by the old blacksmith or the little blacksmith!"

"Understood my lord, this old man's name is Zheng Yi!" The old blacksmith's name was Zheng Yi, which was a decent name, but when he reported his son's name, I was a little dumbfounded.The old blacksmith said: "When the old master comes back to life, he will name my son Zheng Jing!"

"Isn't your grandson's name Zheng Keshuang!" I remember that Zheng Hun also had a brother named Zheng Tai, but fortunately there was no Zheng Chenggong in his family.Otherwise, I thought I brought all the Yanping County Kings here.Although it's just the same name and surname, it's always a bit awkward.

The old blacksmith said: "Ke 塽? Ke means inheritance, victory, and restraint. 塽 is a sunny and dry highland. It's a good name. Thank you, my lord, for giving my grandson the name! If my grandson hadn't been named Zheng An, I would have let His name is that!" The old blacksmith's cultural level is not low, and it can be seen that Zheng Keshuang is a good name, but unfortunately, although this name is good, it is a waste material in Jin Yong's writing.However, since history has changed, whether there will be a Jin Boss in the future is out of my consideration.

"It's fine if you like it!" I thought to myself: Fortunately, it's just a word. If you dare to let your grandson be called Zheng Keshuang, I will send their father and son to smelting!However, the names of common people in the Han Dynasty in China generally do not start with three characters. Even commoners, the names with three characters generally belong to foreign ethnic groups, except for those with double surnames.As for Xi Zhicai, in fact, his name is no longer testable, and he came to me under the name of Zhicai, so he is not considered.

I don't need to worry about the rest, I immediately went back to the mansion and sent someone to call Guo Jia.Seeing that I was in a hurry to send someone to call, Guo Jia hurried over and asked, "My lord, why are you calling me in such a hurry? Could it be that you didn't find Pu Yuan, and you want my intelligence department to pay more attention?"

"I have found Pu Yuan, but I still want to find another person, Zheng Hun! He is also a master craftsman, and he is the master of Ma Jun and Pu Yuan!" Naturally, talents cannot be cheap for others, and what I am most worried about is Zheng Hun. Hun has already arrived under Cao's command.

"Zheng Hun? This name is very familiar, I seem to have heard it somewhere!" Guo Jia thought for a while and said: "By the way, my lord, a man came to our recruiting hall a few days ago, and his name is Zheng Hun. However, He asked to join our army as a Confucian scholar. I assessed him, and although he has some talents, he is at most a county guard. As for whether it is the Zheng Hun you mentioned, I don't know!"

I laughed and said, "It's not easy, just go and call Ma Jun and Pu Yuan to get acquainted! In this way, you go and call Zheng Hun first, and I will talk to him to see if he is Kaifeng. Members of the Zheng family, call Pu Yuan and Ma Jun to recognize him!" Guo Jia nodded and went to call Zheng Hun, and not long after, Guo Jia brought a man about forty years old to my house. At first glance, this man looked like a strong and strong man, the muscles on his arms bulged so high, he might as well be called a military general rather than a scribe.After Zheng Hun saluted me, he stopped talking. After staring at him for a while, I pointed to the chair and said, "Master Zheng, sit down!"

If I didn't speak, Zheng Hun naturally didn't dare to speak. Now that I spoke, Zheng Hun smiled and said, "Thank you, Prime Minister, for giving me a seat. I don't know why the Prime Minister called me here?"

"Where is Mr. Zheng from?" I asked, taking a sip of my tea.

"Report to the Prime Minister, the next official is a person from Yanzhou, who lives in Kaifeng!" In the Han Dynasty, Kaifeng was originally called Kaifeng, but it was changed to Kaifeng to avoid the name of Han Jing Emperor Liu Qi. It is a little past Zhongmu County, and Zhongmu County is where Yanzhou and Sizhou belong. Therefore, although Zheng Hun is also from Henan, he belongs to Yanzhou.

"The Zheng family in Kaifeng is a forging family. I don't know why Mr. Zheng didn't apply to join the Ministry of Industry?" I looked at Zheng Hun and asked.

Zheng Hun gritted his teeth and said, "Prime Minister Qi, although I know forging, I don't want to be just a craftsman, so..."

"Does that mean you still look down on craftsmen?" Zheng Hun didn't know how to answer me. Craftsmen are not as good as scholars. This is the consensus of the ancients.I smiled and said: "Master Zheng, from now on, artisans are no longer inferior to others, and artisans can also be officials and knights. Do you still think artisans are cheap?"

"I never thought craftsman was cheap!" Zheng Hun himself was a craftsman, and his ancestors were also craftsmen.If he says he looks down on artisans, I won't use him anymore.A person who has forgotten his origins and forgotten his ancestors is not qualified to be an official under me.

I looked at Zheng Hun and said with a smile: "Since that's the case, I want you to go to the Ministry of Industry to be Mr. Liu's deputy. Are you willing?"

Zheng Hun thought for a while and said: "The prime minister has already opened his mouth. If I, Zheng Hun, don't agree, wouldn't it be embarrassing to the prime minister? It's just that I have one request, which is to let me participate in the government affairs. I also want to do something practical for the people of the world!"

"Yes! I will allow you to enter the staff department! I am afraid that you will be so busy that you don't even want to take care of the government! Now I will introduce you to some colleagues!" I turned my head and shouted to the door: "Feng Xiao, I call you Is the person calling here?"

"Prime Minister Qi, they are here!" Guo Jia replied outside the door.

"Let them in!" The door opened, and Pu Yuan and Ma Jun walked in.

Zheng Hun looked at Pu Yuan and Ma Jun in surprise and said, "Why are you here?"

"Master, we finally found you!" Pu Yuan and Ma Jun rushed towards Zheng Hun like children. They must have a lot to say when they meet together, so I quietly exited the hall.
