Three Kingdoms: The rebellious son of the Cao family married the queen at the beginning

"Report to Your Majesty, Lord Xun Yu and Lord Xun You are asking to see each other!"

Cao Shuo came to the study and saw Xun Yu, who were waiting here, with a young man beside them.

Cao Shuo thought, this could not be another outstanding disciple of the Xun family.

Xun Yu said: "Your Majesty, this is a talent I found among the craftsmen in the city. His name is Ma Jun!"

Cao Shuo looked surprised, Ma Jun?

This is a great inventor, a genius delayed by the war.

Invented the keel water wheel, the wheel-type hair stone machine, the water-turning Baixi, etc., and it can also improve the Zhuge Liannu.

"Ma Jun, a grass-roots man, has met King Wei."

Ma Jun's voice was intermittent, Cao Shuo could tell that he didn't do it on purpose, he had a serious stutter.

Cao Shuo hurriedly asked, "Do you have an official position among craftsmen?"

"Caomin don't like to talk, and several foremen have opinions on me. I have been in Luoyang for several months, and I am an ordinary craftsman."

Cao Shuo's face darkened. Among his subordinates, there were still officials who judge people by their appearance. They should be killed. Fortunately, it was only Ma Jun. If Deng Ai was lost to me, his nine clans would have to be wiped out.

"Wen Ruo, from today..."

"No, from now on, you immediately organize your staff and set up a military computer room dedicated to researching equipment! Ma Jun will be the military minister of the military computer room."

"Military engine room?"

Xun Yu looked at Cao Shuo with a puzzled expression. It was the first time he had heard of such a military computer room and such a military minister.

Cao Shuo explained: "The highest officer in the military aircraft room is the Minister of Military Aircraft, with a salary of [-] shi, followed by Zhang Jing of the military aircraft with a salary of [-] shi."

"hiss!"

The three of them gasped, this ten thousand shi salary is comparable to that of six ministers, it is too high, a group of craftsmen deserve such a high salary?
Seeing the shocked faces of the three, Cao Shuo said again: "The birth of the military computer room means that our people will live a better life in the future."

Xun Yu asked: "What is the military computer room responsible for? Is it a conflict with the Ministry of Industry?"

"The military computer room is responsible for research and development, and the Ministry of Industry is responsible for use. This is not in conflict."

Xun You asked puzzledly: "Since this is the case, why set up a separate department instead of being directly incorporated into the Ministry of Industry?"

Cao Shuo said: "The military engine room not only needs to develop weapons and armor, but also researches and develops warship siege equipment, agricultural tools, water conservancy construction, etc. The content is too complicated, and the Ministry of Industry is in charge, so it is not suitable to merge with it."

Xun Yu and Xun You couldn't hear it, even Ma Jun, who was the best craftsman, couldn't hear it.

Cao Shuo looked at Ma Jun and said, "The Minister of Military Aircraft has four military aircraft chapters under his jurisdiction, responsible for the four departments of weapons and armor, siege equipment, agricultural tools, and vehicles."

Cao Shuo explained to the three of them for another two hours, and the three of them finally understood part of it.

Xun Yu said, "Your Majesty, how many people are needed in the military computer room?"

Cao Shuo thought about it, the more people the better, but if there are too many, the distribution of salary will become a problem, "four departments, each department recruits 100 people, if we recruit again in the future, we will recruit from the shipyard, forge, factory, etc. Department and other places, as long as they have talents in this area, they will be recruited."

Xun Yu nodded. There are more than 400 people. Except for the Minister of Military Aircraft and Zhang Jing of Military Aircraft, the salaries of others are actually not high, and they can afford it.

"Your Majesty, I have something to report!"

As Xun You said, he took out a letter from his bosom and handed it to Cao Shuo. Cao Shuo looked surprised.

This letter was sent from Chang'an, and the content of the letter horrified Cao Shuo.

"Hmph, Dong Zhuo actually traded with Liu Biao and helped us with our war horse business."

Xun You suggested: "Your Majesty, why don't we capture Nanyang County and break the connection between the two of you!"

Xun Yu said: "Your Majesty, our soldiers have not recuperated, and it is not easy to mobilize the troops. It is better to wipe out Liu Biao's army in Runan County, and take advantage of the situation to attack Nanyang County."

Cao Shuo thought for a while and said, "Tomorrow morning in the capital, all the officials with a thousand shi or more will go to the hall to discuss matters."

"promise!"

After Xun Yu and Xun You left, Cao Shuo looked at Ma Jun and said, "I have a blueprint for a crossbow here, see if you can make it for me."

This drawing was scribbled when he was free. According to the current crossbow machine, a machine expansion was added to replace the soldier's arrow basket.

Ma Jun looked at it and said, "Your Majesty, this painting is a bit like a basket of arrows, and the lower officials can't understand it."

Cao Shuo blushed and explained to him. Ma Jun was horrified when he heard that the crossbow arrows could be fired continuously.

"The lower officials have a little understanding of one or two of them, but I'm afraid I can't develop them in a short period of time."

Cao Shuo's eyes lit up, he didn't say it couldn't be developed, but he couldn't develop it in a short time, he couldn't help but feel happy.

"Don't worry, I will urge Wen Ruo to set up the military computer room as soon as possible. In addition, I have already selected the location of the military computer room for you. The guards will take you there later."

"promise!"

After sending Ma Jun away, Cao Shuo wrote the names of several items on the paper and sent them to the Military Aircraft Department.

"I hope that Ma Jun will not disappoint me, and can develop me a hand crossbow that can hold thirty rounds of crossbow bolts."

With this kind of hand crossbow, it is equivalent to the semi-automatic rifle of later generations. Although the range, rate of fire, and damage are far from each other, it is already very good in the era of cold weapons.

While Cao Shuo was thinking, a court lady came in and said, "Your Majesty, the two concubines Qiao please come over."
