Traveling through history leaving a name

Chapter 23 Invitation (recommendation ticket requested)

This day, for Xun Yu, was a day that surprised him.

On this day, his three views were greatly impacted.

Women teach, unheard of knowledge, and unheard of machines, and so on.

On this day, Zhang Qingfeng invited Xun Yu to be a guest at his home. After dinner, in the evening, Zhang Qingfeng and Xun Yu came to have a talk by candlelight.

Xun Yu's purpose is very simple, it is to recruit Zhang Qingfeng on behalf of Cao Cao, so he needs to inspect Zhang Qingfeng's talent for Cao Cao.

As for Zhang Qingfeng, this time he traveled to the end of the Han Dynasty, and his main task was to assist Cao Cao in unifying the country. The two hit it off.

"Brother Ruixiang, I don't know what you think of the current situation in the world? Can the general unify the whole country?" Xun Yu asked Zhang Qingfeng.

As the two gradually became familiar with each other, their address was not as polite as it was at the beginning.

Xun Yu directly called Zhang Qingfeng Brother Ruixiang, while Zhang Qingfeng directly called Xun Yu's character—Wen Ruo.

Xun Yu's question was exactly what Cao Cao asked Li Bai before, and now Xun Yu asked Zhang Qingfeng mainly because he wanted to see Zhang Qingfeng's opinion.

"The situation in the world is hard to say, it has to be considered from various aspects."

Zhang Qingfeng said: "As far as the current situation is concerned, the general is undoubtedly the strongest, but if the general wants to go south, the southern forces will definitely unite to fight."

"Although the general is powerful, he still can't crush him, so it's hard to say."

Finally, Zhang Qingfeng said: "However, the north has advantages in population and resources. With the development of time, the north will eventually develop to the extent that it will crush the south. As for the time, it may be decades or hundreds of years, but eventually it will Unify the country."

Historically, the time when Wei and Jin unified the country was 280 A.D., and there are still more than 70 years from now.

In this era, the Han people have not developed the south on a large scale, so the south is still relatively wild.

Only in the Tang and Song dynasties will the south be developed on a large scale, and finally there will be praises such as the Jiangnan water town, the land of fish and rice, and the familiarity of Huguang.

In ancient times, most of China was unified from north to south.

The unification of the country from south to north was the case of Zhu Yuanzhang's Northern Expedition, but at that time the south had already been developed on a large scale.

In ancient times, it was basically whoever could unify the north, and then it would be a matter of time before annexing the south.

"Brother Ruixiang believes that the north will unify the whole country. I agree with this, but I don't think it will take that long. I believe that the whole country will be unified in my lifetime." Xun Yu said after hearing Zhang Qingfeng's words .

"Maybe." Zhang Qingfeng nodded, not arguing with Xun Yu.

He knows the history, but Xun Yu only sees a little bit under his nose. The two people have different visions, and too many arguments will not help.

As for whether Xun Yu can see the unification of the country, according to history, if he can live to be 120 years old, he can see Wei destroying Shu, and if he can live to [-] years old, he can see Jin unify the whole country.

But this is obviously impossible. The historical Xun Yu lived until 212 AD.

This year is the spring of 206 AD, which means he only has 6 years to live.

A few years later, with the failure of the Battle of Chibi and Cao Cao losing the opportunity to unify the country, he would want to be called a prince to consolidate his family status.

The reason why Xun Yu assisted Cao Cao was mainly because he wanted to use Cao Cao's hand to revive the Han Dynasty. Xun Yu knew very well that if Cao Cao became the Duke, the Han Dynasty would eventually be ruined.

From the time Cao Cao wanted to call Wei Gong, the two would be at odds with each other, thus parting ways politically.

At that time, Xun Yu will understand that it is impossible to revive the Han Dynasty with the help of Cao Cao.

He was loyal to the Han Dynasty, so he didn't want to continue to help Cao Cao bury the Han Dynasty. The end result was that Xun Yu ended his life in painful struggle.

On this day, Xun Yu and Zhang Qingfeng chatted until midnight.

The two chatted from politics to military, from astronomy to geography, from history to the present situation, from agriculture to water conservancy, from mathematics to Confucianism, and so on.

From the chat, Xun Yu had a more intuitive judgment on Zhang Qingfeng.

In Xun Yu's view, Zhang Qingfeng is a more knowledgeable and talented person than him, and he also benefited a lot from communicating with Zhang Qingfeng.

But he also saw that Zhang Qingfeng's talent was not in strategy, but in practical work.

If we talk about intrigues, ten Zhang Qingfengs are no match for Xun Yu, but compared to hard work, knowledge and knowledge, a hundred Xun Yus are no match for Zhang Qingfeng.

"Brother Ruixiang, if you become an official, I will recommend you to the general. I believe that with your assistance, the time for the general to unify the country will be shorter." Xun Yu said to Zhang Qingfeng.

"That's not necessary. I'm getting old. General Cao has Wenruo and you to assist me. It will be a matter of time before the country is unified, and I'm not missing."

Zhang Qingfeng still wanted to be reserved, and Zhuge Liang was invited out of the mountain by Liu Bei's three visits to the thatched cottage. He couldn't be inferior to Zhuge Liang, right?

And he knew that it was not business that was catching up. After he went to Cao Cao in private last time and was kicked out, he reflected a lot.

Instead of defecting to Cao Cao now, it is better to train more talented students. After all, one person counts the short and the other counts the long.

And train more students, so that after he formally joins Cao Cao, he can have his own team and give full play to his talents.

Xun Yu persuaded him twice, but seeing that Zhang Qingfeng did not agree, he was not angry.

Zhang Qingfeng was unwilling to become an official, but in his opinion, it was a sign that Zhang Qingfeng did not covet power, so he couldn't help but think highly of Zhang Qingfeng even more.

The next day, Zhang Qingfeng took Xun Yu to watch him assemble the milling machine.

Although Xun Yu is Tinghou, Zhang Qingfeng didn't care about his identity at all, but just treated him as an ordinary friend.

Xun Yu's attitude towards Zhang Qingfeng was also very natural. He already regarded Zhang Qingfeng as a person who interacted with him on an equal footing, and he didn't care that the other party was just a commoner.

The milling machine assembled by Zhang Qingfeng today is more precise than the previous original milling machine, and the materials used are also the best. The machining accuracy is several times that of the original machine tool.

In order to manufacture this milling machine, Zhang Qingfeng also built a steel-making furnace and smelted some special steel in a small crucible.

Although this machine tool is called a milling machine, it can do many things. As long as it has tools, it can be used as a drilling machine, boring machine, etc.

It took Zhang Qingfeng half a day to assemble this milling machine, and then to debug and so on. The assembly was not completed until three or four in the afternoon.

Compared with the original milling machine at the beginning, this milling machine has an essential difference in addition to higher machining accuracy.

That is, the milling head of this milling machine can feed the tool vertically up and down. When using this milling machine to process workpieces, there is no need to raise the workbench anymore.

"Wen Ruo, stay here for a few days, I will use these machines to make a gift for you."
