Chapter 249: Su is the official who supports the country
Zhuge Liang directly invited the master craftsman Pu Yuan and began to discuss the large-scale production of improved papermaking technology in Shaofu overnight. In the end, Zhuge Liang sent someone to bring Huang Yueying over because he didn't have enough manpower to discuss the matter together.
At the same time, Zhuge Liang also handed over to Yousi to discuss how to implement the Fubing system.
Ma Su, on the other hand, returned to his mansion in a daze, not understanding what happened at all.
But this is not important, at least in Zhuge Liang's eyes, Ma Di is already a minister of the country. He not only inherited his own inheritance, but also made great achievements in Mohist attainments.
All this made Zhuge Liang more and more satisfied with Ma Su.
When Zhuge Liang suddenly worked overtime all night and started working, Ma Di was forced to go to the East Palace.
There, Liu Xuan, the prince of Shu Han, was waiting for him.
"Student has seen Master Ma!" Liu Xuan saw Ma Su coming to the East Palace and immediately stood up to greet him, but was held down by Ma Su.
"Your Highness, there is no need for you to welcome me." Ma Di waved his hand and said lightly.
Etiquette can be said to be the worst invention of this era, which makes Ma Su extremely disgusted. But no matter how much he disliked it, Ma Su had to comply when big things came up.
This does not increase Ma Su's value for death, but also makes Ma Su's life uncomfortable.
Just like giving a favor as a gift, no matter how much you hate it, you have to do it when it's your turn.
Perhaps this is the tragedy of the times...
Regarding Ma Su's education, Prince Liu Xuan was just ignorant and did not understand the meaning of Ma Su's words. But it sounds very profound and seems to make sense...
"Your Highness, I have been appointed by Your Majesty to teach you the art of war and imperial arts. However, I am no more than a scribe in Jingzhou, a soldier on the battlefield of the Han Dynasty, and I don't know any imperial arts."
"Therefore, I can only tell you some of my insights on the art of war and my thoughts on local governance."
"Your Highness must remember the words of Emperor Xuan in the past, Overlord Dao Zazhi!"
Ma Su was not in a high position before, and he did not know as much about most things as a carnivore. But after all, in terms of knowledge as a time traveler, Ma Di is not much worse than the ancient emperors.
What's more, there is so much political education in later generations... well, I understand everything.
The core idea of Ma Di's teachings to Liu Xuan is that concrete analysis of specific problems is mixed with the Tao of Overlord.
Never stick to the rules at any time. Everything requires specific analysis rather than rigidly copying the rules of the previous generation.
The so-called immutability of ancestral laws also requires detailed analysis.
Ma Di used the Zhulu Rebellion and Wenjing's Rebellion to explain in detail to Prince Liu Xuan why Han Wu's grand plan was realized.
Without the recuperation of Wenjing's rule, and without Jia Yi's persistent weakening of the strength of the vassal states by "building more vassals but less strength", Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty most likely would not have been able to be so reckless.
I have to say that the theory of a certain petty official in later generations was indeed effective. In particular, there are many topics about destiny, which may be too advanced for modern people, but were just right for the ancients.
Prince Liu Xuan was stunned by Ma Su's theories, and for a moment it seemed as if the door to a new world had been opened.
"Then according to Xiang's father's words..."
"Stop, stop, stop, your highness is no more than the crown prince and tutor, how can he be the prime minister!" Ma Di was startled and quickly interrupted.
How come I became the prince's father-in-law just when I came in to give a lecture?
"The ancient sages have a saying, once you are a teacher, you will always be a father. Master Ma is knowledgeable and talented. My father once boasted that "I am a talented person in the country." How can he not be a father-in-law?" Liu Xuan pursed his lips and emphasized with some dissatisfaction. road.
"My father has the prime minister as his prime minister, why can't I have Master Ma as my prime minister?"
Ma Di looked at the prince dumbfounded, a little unbelievable.
It's hard to imagine that such an honest prince could say this. After all the theory was laid down, Ma Su didn't even know how to refute it.
While Ma Su was stunned, Liu Xuan took the opportunity to settle this matter.
"So from now on, the horse master will be my father-in-law!"
Ever since, Ma Su became the father-in-law of the second emperor of Shu Han. Although Ma Su is not very willing, Prince Liu Xuan doesn't care about you.
Prince Liu Xuan was historically regarded as Confucian and kind, but not kind.
Historically, among the sons of Liu Chan, Liu Zhan, the king of the North, was strong and martial, while most of the other sons were Confucian and kind.
However, although there are not many records, from Liu Xu's conversation and wisdom, Ma Di can be sure that this prince is not an easy person.
"So what kind of monarch do you think I am?" After recognizing Ma Su as his father-in-law, Liu Xuan immediately climbed up the pole and began to ask for advice.
Ma Su raised his eyebrows, thought for a moment and then said,
"I hope you will be Emperor Wenjing, not Hanwu."
"After all, today's world is divided into three parts, and the Han Dynasty is at the time of rebirth. By the time His Highness ascends the throne, the world should have been unified again, and the return of the old capital has been realized."
"By then, the suffering land of Han Dynasty will need to recuperate. If we force the war at this time, it will not only waste people and money, but may also displace countless people."
"After all, any action taken by the court will be borne by the head of Guizhou in the end. Xunzi once said that the people are like the water king and the boat. When the water rises, the boat will be lifted."
"And do you still remember what the late emperor said?"
“When doing great things to help people, we must put people first!”
On the first day Ma Di came to the East Palace, he left a deep impression on the prince.
…………

Ma Su became the crown prince and tutor, and began to influence the next generation of monarchs through his own actions. Ma Su relied on his own knowledge and reputation to have a profound influence on the prince.
At least the prince had no idea that this general who had the temperament of a military general, dismounted from his horse to write books and mount his horse to fight, turned out to be a believer in Huang Lao's theory.
Many of Ma Su's words benefited the prince a lot, especially the sentence "Governing a big country is like cooking small dishes".
Although the last sentence "and I can't cook" is more embarrassing...
In the following time, Ma Su began to frequent the East Palace to teach the prince the art of war and governance. Later, Ma Di thought it was too troublesome and directly applied to bring Zhao Guang and Zhao Tong to the East Palace to teach.
Liu Chan readily agreed, and named Zhao Guang and Zhao Tong as Crown Prince Xian Ma respectively, and followed Ma Su to the East Palace.
Such a peaceful life seems pretty good to Ma Su, at least no one will irritate him.
But it didn't last long, because Zhuge Liang was done quickly.
Whether it is the Fubing system or Ma Su's improved papermaking technology, it is completely feasible. Moreover, with Pu Yuan's participation, the output of Ma Su's improved papermaking technology also achieved a qualitative improvement.
So after sorting out all the credit, Zhuge Liang made a prompt decision.
"The person who made the first contribution must be Ma Su!"
Shuzhong took medicine and slept until 7:30, so the update is a bit late...
So for the sake of Shuzhong being sick and still trying his best to code, I would like to ask for a monthly pass (﹏)
