Chapter 1178 Mission Reward
After the mutual trading between Kebineng and Bu Dugen was completed.
They all returned to their respective tribes with carriages loaded with grain, cloth and salt.
The tribal leaders and the people couldn't help but cheer excitedly when they saw the truckloads of grain, cloth and salt!
This mutual market is much better than robbery!
In the eyes of these Xianbei people, the Wei Dynasty has become more and more powerful and wants to be like before.
At the cost of just a few hundred or even dozens of Xianbei lives, enough food and wealth could be plundered from Youzhou for the tribe to live a good life for three to five months.
It was gone forever with the unification of the Wei Dynasty.
Fortunately, there is now a mutual market.
Unknowingly, the hostility of ordinary Xianbei people towards the Wei Dynasty became slightly lighter.
The role of mutual markets has already been revealed at the moment it begins.
The day after Liu Yanzai and Ke Bineng completed a large transaction with Bu Dugen.
He sorted out the quantity of goods traded with Kebi Nengbu Xianbei and Budu Genbu Xianbei, and sent 50% of the cattle, sheep and horses to Yecheng.
At the same time, Liu Yan also wrote a letter about the mutual market situation and sent it to Hanzhong for Bai Feng to review.
After Bai Feng received Liu Yan's letter.
The system prompt finally sounded in his mind.
【Ding! Congratulations on completing the task of helping Xianbei tide over the difficulties! 】
mission rewards:

[Random drawing reward ×1! 】
Already distributed!
[Please collect system task rewards in time! 】
Bai Feng waited until the system prompt passed and then opened the system panel.
At this time, two random character drawing cards, 20,000 reputation points and a random drawing have all appeared on his system interface.
After clicking to receive it, Bai Feng planned to go to the study room to extract character cards and drawings.
It just so happened that today Cao Jie took Liuli, Zhang Ning, Zhang Qiying, Diao Chan, Xiao Qiao and others to have an outing with other noble women outside the city.
Among the entire Hanzhong Houfu, apart from the servants, there was Bai Feng.
After drawing the characters, it was easy to explain to Cao Jie and the others why they suddenly came to the Hou Mansion.
After arriving in the study, Bai Feng opened the system interface again.
Then he clicked on a random character draw card.
I saw a rainbow light flashing in the study room.
Then a young man with a short beard, about the same height as Bai Feng, with a thin face and steady eyes appeared in front of Bai Feng.
"I've been plowing the pillars and met Mr. Bai!"
After the young man named Geng Zhuzhu came to Bai Feng's study, he was in a daze for a moment, and then saluted Bai Feng and said.
Geng Zhuzhu was a native of the Wei State during the Warring States Period. He was a disciple of Mo Zi. He was highly regarded by Mo Zi and was very talented. He once served as an official in the Chu State.
Mozi's advice on plowing the pillars was recorded as a good story by later generations.
It is said that after Geng Zhuzhu became a disciple of Mozi, because of his intelligence, he learned all the true stories of Mozi.
But when young people have the ability, they are inevitably arrogant, even the well-informed Geng Zhuzi who followed Mozi is no exception.
After Mozi saw Geng Zhuzi becoming arrogant, he asked Geng Zhuzi angrily:
If I want to go to the Taihang Mountains, you drive me.
Are you going to drive a horse-drawn carriage or an ox-drawn cart?
Plowing Zhuzhu then replied: Of course it is a carriage!
Then Mozi continued to ask: Why drive a horse-drawn carriage instead of an ox-drawn cart?
Plowing Zhuzhu continued: Because horses are more worthy of being whipped.
So Mozi said: You are like that horse, so I ask you more strictly! Remember not to be arrogant in the future!
Only then did Geng Zhuzi understand Mozi's good intentions and gurgling teachings.
After being summoned to Bai Feng's study by the system, Geng Zhuzi quickly accepted all this and recognized Bai Feng as his master.
This was the first time Bai Feng heard the name Geng Zhuzhu, and he didn't know much about his past life.
"Pengzhu, can you tell me about your experience?"
Although it was embarrassing, Bai Feng had to ask.
Geng Zhuzhu smiled when he heard this and began to introduce himself without caring.
Half an hour later, Geng Zhuzi briefly told Bai Feng his past life.
After hearing this, Bai Feng's impression of Geng Zhuzi changed greatly.
Turns out he was Mozi’s proud disciple!
Not only is he familiar with Mozi's thoughts, but he also once served as an official in the Chu State. Most importantly, Peng Zhuzhu is also very knowledgeable in mechanics (necessary for the plot)!
This made Bai Feng extremely happy!
"Hahaha, okay, okay!"
"Today I have to meet a plowing pillar, which makes me feel like I have the added strength of a tiger! Hahaha!"
Bai Feng, who was about to start vigorously promoting the research and development and manufacturing of steam engines when he came back, smiled very happily.
After returning to Hanzhong, Bai Feng made a special trip to accompany Cao Jie in the city.
It's a pity that before leaving Hanzhong City, I distributed the steam engine drawings to the blacksmiths in the city.
Until now, no blacksmith has built a steam engine.
The same goes for the blacksmiths in Youzhou.
This made Bai Feng feel that he was in great need of a talent who understood machinery and manufacturing.
However, during the Three Kingdoms period, there were many inventors who were proficient in mechanical manufacturing.
In other words, this kind of talent is inherently rare.
Now Bai Feng is so excited after getting Geng Zhuzhu as a helper.
Geng Zhuzi saw that Bai Feng was very happy and excited about his arrival. He was reused again after living a new life, and his mood became good.
Then Bai Feng gave Geng Zhuzi the steam engine drawing that he had left in the study.
"The drawing shows a steam engine, a machine powered by boiling water!"
"Now I am going to prepare to build this steam engine."
"It's a pity that no matter whether it is the blacksmiths in Hanzhong City or Youzhou City, nearly a month has passed, and no steam engine has been built."
"I hope you can give me a hand!"
After handing the steam engine drawing to Geng Zhuzi, Bai Feng continued to say to him.
Geng Zhuzi took the drawing and listened to Bai Feng's description, and he knew that this steam engine must be very important to Bai Feng.
Geng Zhuzi felt that Bai Feng valued him and was under a lot of pressure when he was given such an important task right away.
In fact, when Geng Zhuzi was an official in the State of Chu in the later period, his research on machinery was no longer as good as when he was young.
However, after returning to his youth, Geng Zhuzi found that after reading the steam engine drawings, the contents of the mechanical technology that Mozi had explained in the past gradually emerged in his mind!
Then he began to ask Bai Feng about the working principle of the steam engine, the meaning of the various symbols marked on the drawings, and the various manufacturing requirements.
Bai Feng patiently explained to Geng Zhuzi one by one
Soon Geng Zhuzi understood the working principle of this steam engine.
