Chapter 50: The God Craftsman Zheng Ma

In the evening, Jia Xu, the candidate brought several soldiers and a jar of "Shenxian Zui" to visit the craftsman Zheng Ma. The young master appointed the person, first of all, wanted to see such a master's style. Secondly, they were not familiar with the craftsmen in the Shao Mansion, and they didn't know how to choose a suitable master, so they had to ask Zheng Ma, an expert, to help.

The common people in Luoyang live on the edge of the city. The activities of the people are limited to three main areas inside and outside Luoyang City. Jinshi, northwest of the Nangong of Luoyang City, is the only residential area in the city, living with some royal merchants without official positions and rich Shihao. Mashi in the eastern suburbs and Nanshi in the southern suburbs are active areas for civilians to live and small and medium-sized merchants.

Zheng Ma was the direct descendant of the Zheng family in Runan County. He was good at creating various weapons and forging skills. He was the first to none in the Han court. He created many magical weapons and weapons, known as the magical craftsman and the imperial craftsman in the Han court. Although Zheng Ma was known as the magical craftsman, craftsmen in the Eastern Han Dynasty were a low-level career and had a low status, so he, a magical craftsman, could only live in the Nanshi where civilians lived.

Zheng Mansion is a top courtyard, not spacious or too bad. With its average appearance, it can be seen that Zheng Ma is not valued in Luoyang.

When Jia Xu and his party arrived, a servant opened the door. Jia Xu and his party explained their purpose. The servant went in and reported that, after a while, an elderly man in his fifties came out, with a medium figure, dark and red skin, thick and strong body, and strong muscles on his arms.

"Two distinguished guests come to the humble house. If you don't think the room is simple, please come in to serve tea." Zheng Ma said very humbly.

"I have heard of the name of a god craftsman for a long time, and I am about to disturb you!" Jia Xu and the candidates waved to the soldiers behind him, and the soldiers carried the jar "Shenxian Zui" in.

When he entered the house and sat down, Jia Xu ordered the soldiers to open the mud seal on the lid of the urn. A strange and rich aroma of wine floated out. The servant handed over the wine cup, and the soldiers poured the wine cups of several people.

"Attacking the slightest disturbance, I was afraid of being frightened. Below is Jia Xu, a military advisor of Pegasus Ranch. This is the candidate general. This is the 'god drunkenness' brewed by our Pegasus Ranch. Please taste it." Jia Xu raised his cup and invited him.

"It's done!" Hou Xuanjuzhan touched Zheng Ma for a moment and drank it in one mouthful.

"Do it!" Zheng Ma usually has two good things, drinking and creating. He drinks without hesitation, and he doesn't care about anyone when he makes a blacksmith.

"The Gods and Fairy Drunken" has been very popular in Luoyang these days, and Zheng Ma has also heard of it a little, but she thought it was just a good wine. She didn't want the wine to be fragrant and smooth in her throat, but when she entered her stomach, it seemed like it was on fire. The wine spread to the limbs, and the pores all over the body suddenly opened, and she felt refreshed.

"Good wine, a real good wine, is no wonder that it caused a sensation in Luoyang in just a few days. I am a confidant of the wine. Even the imperial wine in the palace has drunk a lot, but compared with this magic wine, it is like chewing vinegar, like chewing vinegar! After drinking this wine, it is hard to swallow other wines!" Zheng Ma's stomach was filled with a cup of wine, and the alcohol stimulated him and he talked too much.

As soon as the drink was drunk, the three of them became familiar with each other quickly and they became more and more excited as they drank.

"The next two people came here this time. First, in order to see the style of the magic craftsman, my young master highly praised the magic craftsman. He often said that one person can reach 100,000 soldiers, so he must ask the magic craftsman to come to Anding County in the lower house. Second, the emperor ordered the emperor to allocate 300 masters to Anding County to help build winemaking facilities. Both of us do not understand craftsmanship and cannot see the advantages and disadvantages, so we also asked the magic craftsman to help." Jia Xu saw that he had almost drunk the wine, so he took the opportunity to express his purpose.

"Oh, your young master also knows me, but I heard that your young master is just a thirteen-year-old boy! This is too exaggerated!" Zheng Ma asked curiously.

Jia Xu's words made him so well that his vanity was greatly satisfied. Zheng Ma looked at Jia Xu again, and the candidates also felt much more pleasing to him.

"Although my young master is young, hasn't he also been granted the title of the prefect of Anding County by the emperor? The craftsman must not underestimate my young master, he is really unfathomable." Jia Xu said lightly.

"I am thanking your young master's attention, and it is your Majesty's choice. I dare not obey your orders. I just don't know what kind of craftsmen you want?" Zheng Ma felt indescribable sorrow. He worked for the Han court for most of his life, but was sold by the emperor. Fortunately, the buyer seemed to be good, and at least he would not have to worry about not having any alcohol in the future.

"In addition to the craftsman, there are also 100 great masters of armor making, 100 great masters of bows and crossbows, and 100 great masters of siege equipment making. The emperor has already made an order, but he still asks the craftsman to check the selection of personnel. I am grateful for it." Jia Xu said.

"The emperor ordered us to go to Anding County to build winemaking equipment, just blacksmiths! Why should we choose craftsmen who make armor, crossbows, and siege equipment?" Hearing Jia Xu's words, Zheng Ma's face changed rapidly and shouted sternly.

"The gods don't know that Anding County is a place of four battles. Qiang people, Hu people, and Han people live together, and riots often occur. They face border sagging and are invaded by foreign tribes from time to time. If there is no certain self-protection power, how can we start brewing wine? I am afraid that the wine will be lost instead of being killed. My young master has issued a military order in front of His Majesty. If the lord of the emperor fails to complete the errand, he will lose his head!" Seeing Zheng Ma suspicious, Jia Xu stood up calmly and said lightly.

"Is this true?" Zheng Ma's face cleared a little.

"If this is true, I dare not be false. My young master is the grandson of Huangfu Gui, the former general of Liao, and was raised by the old general. Although the young master is young, he has a kind heart. Because he cannot bear to see Sanfu, the hungry people in Xiliang died of starvation. So he wanted to offer wine to the capital to seek official positions in the lower class, with the purpose of helping the disaster victims." Jia Xu became more and more excited.

"I'm wrong about the craftsman. The craftsman he wants is wrapped in. Tomorrow, I'll choose it myself and will not delay the affairs of your young master. In addition, I have four disciples, although they are young, all of them are talented. The eldest disciple Zheng Hun is good at making armor; the second disciple Bai Yi is good at making bows and crossbows; the third disciple Pu Yuan is good at making weapons and knives; the fourth disciple Ma Jun is good at making large-scale equipment. They inherited the old mantle, and it is also my hope that I will go with me."

"We are grateful for the help of the craftsman and noble disciples!" Jia Xu hurriedly stood up and thanked him.

The three of them were very excited and drank until the moon was over.
