The fierce battle lasted less than a night. The invading Turkic army was annihilated, leaving only stinking corpses on the battlefield. However, most of these corpses belonged to the Turkic people.
The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty won the war with an absolute advantage and successfully defended their homeland. This was the proudest thing for a soldier and also the proudest thing for a citizen of the Tang Dynasty.
The war at the border came to an end, and life at the border returned to peace for the time being.
At the same time, in Chang 'an White Deer College.
The wind and snow were drifting in the air. Snowflakes the size of a thumb drifted down and filled the entire college.
After a while, the entire college seemed to be covered with a layer of white cloth. It was like an otherworldly peach garden that people yearned for.
Different from the border, the wind and snow in Chang 'an were not so violent. It was more gentle, like a small hand caressing it.
The sound of reciting came from the classroom, like a melodious note, lingering for a long time.
In a small house not far from the classroom, a few gray-haired old men were sitting around a fire. There were a few teacups next to them, giving them a sage-like temperament.
These people were Ouyang Xun, Chu Suiliang, Yu Shinan, and Xue Ji.
Chu Suiliang picked up the teacup next to him and took a sip. "Bo Shi, do you know what Fengzi has been doing recently? Why doesn't he come to the college? "
Yu Shinan rolled his eyes at Chu Suiliang. "How would I know? You should ask that kid."
"If I could find that kid, would I ask you?"
The two old men talked intermittently.
At this moment, the sound of footsteps on snow came from outside the door.
"Creak …"
Yu Shinan turned around and glanced at him.
"So it's Virgo. Come in and warm yourself by the fire."
Hearing this, Cheng Chumo shook off the snow stuck to his feet, opened the door, and walked in. Wei Shuyu and Zhangsun followed behind him.
"Mr. Bo Shi, thank you."
After that, Cheng Chumo found a seat and sat down.
The other two also found their own seats.
Yu Shinan handed a teacup to Cheng Chumo: "Chumo, what have you been doing recently? Why haven't you come to the Academy for so long? "
Cheng Chumo took the teacup and said tiredly, "We are working on the equipment of the textile factory, especially the power of the unmanned textile machine and the water wheel."
"What is this?"
Yu Shinan asked subconsciously.
Ask if you don't understand. This is common sense.
Wei Shuyu, who was sitting at the side, interjected, "I heard from Fengzi that this unmanned textile wheel uses physical methods to make it realize that it can automatically spin without people. I don't know the specifics."
"Then what is this thing connected to the waterwheel?"
Wei Shuyu was about to speak, but Zhangsun pulled her out and gave her a look, indicating that he would speak. Then, before she spoke, he said, "Fengzi said that it is to put two hard piles on the bank where the current is very rapid. The upper half of the wheel is above the bank, and the lower half is immersed in the water, so that it can rotate freely. There are bamboo tubes attached diagonally to the spokes of the wheel, and there is a water tank near the water tube on the wheel. When the wheel is stimulated by the rapid current, the wheel will rotate, and the water tube will be filled with water … "
"Stop, stop, stop."
Before Zhangsun finished speaking, Ouyang Xiu quickly interrupted him.
The old man really couldn't stand it. This guy never stopped talking, and he was always talking about things that others couldn't understand. He was even more long-winded than a woman.
Ouyang Xiu glanced at the three people: "Old Man asked you, you just said that Fengzi, where is Fengzi? Where is he? "
"Isn't Fengzi at home tending to cotton?"
Wei Shuyu was a little confused.
Isn't this something that everyone knows?
"What do you know?"
Cheng Chumo rolled his eyes at Wei Shuyu: "Recently, Fengzi is not only tending to cotton at home, but also making firearms."
"Firearms?"
Yu Shinan frowned: "Chu Mo, how do you know?"
Cheng Chumo smiled and said with a mysterious look: "That day, my father and Fengzi went up the mountain and saw that kid making a lot of weapons. The most important thing is, there is a thing called a gun. My father said that although the sound of that thing is a little loud, its power is not bad. I heard that it can kill a bird without a problem."
After hearing this, Yu Shinan's frown deepened, and his eyes almost couldn't be seen.
He glanced at Chu Suiliang, Ouyang Xiu, and Xue Ji and gave them a look.
The three immediately understood that he wanted to continue to talk to Cheng Chumo.
"Chu Mo, besides these things, did Fengzi do anything else recently?"
Chu Suiliang forced a smile.
"Anything else?"
Cheng Chumo deliberately stroked his beardless chin: "Also, this kid sells cotton-padded clothes and buys dried flowers. I heard that this kid bought dozens of dongs of flowers."
"What?"
Yu Shinan exclaimed: "He bought dozens of dongs of flowers?"
Cheng Chumo slapped his thigh and echoed, "That's right. Say, this brat not only destroyed all of Retired Emperor's flowers, he also bought these dried flowers. Isn't he idle?"
Yu Shinan looked at his two partners and communicated with his eyes.
It seemed that Fengzi was led astray by Li Shimin again.
