Martial: I Started The Technological Revolution In Ancient Times

The accompanying eunuch also had an embarrassed look on his face. He coughed twice and said: "Well... since there's nothing else, I'll take my leave now. If Lord Xiao has any other instructions, just send someone to look for me. I'll be there immediately, at your command."    

After saying that, he really left.    

" You're back? "    

Seeing everyone enter the room, Xiao Huai'en didn't even raise his head and said this as usual.    

Xiao Huai'en strode forward and raised his hand. He wanted to hit them, but he still squatted down next to Xiao Yun. He sighed and said, "I heard that you came back when I was in the cell. I'm amazed that the ancestors of Xiao family have shown their spirit. But now that you're back, I'm ordered to lead my troops to war. You have so many important things to do now, but now you are here... playing with goose feathers? "    

Xiao Yun grinned and said, "This is also considered proper business."    

Xiao Huai'en rolled his eyes at him.    

Then he stared blankly at the pure white goose feathers and said faintly, "This time grandpa... I was really impulsive."    

Xiao Huai'en had never admitted to his mistakes in his life.    

When he was four years old, as long as he made any mistakes, he would be able to avoid a beating. However, he did not admit it. After a beating of the whip, he was even locked up in the ancestral hall. After starving for two days, he almost died, but he did not admit it.    

From that moment on, the people of Xiao family knew that it did not matter if this guy was right or wrong.    

It was precisely because of this tough bone that he walked a path that no one would have thought of in the army!    

But now, facing his grandson, he had admitted his mistake.    

Although it seemed a little awkward.    

Xiao Yun raised his head to take a look, then sighed and said, "It's not easy to go to the Northern Chill this time. I propose to His Majesty to attack the Northern Wei. Not only to save you, but also because this is really a once in a lifetime opportunity. The chaos in the Northern Wei... There must be a result. "    

"There really is a chance?"    

Facing Xiao Huai'en's question, Xiao Yun revealed a bitter smile.    

"Fortune does not come alone. Disaster always comes one after another. This is not because of bad luck. It is because the disaster itself is often the cause of another disaster. Or the consequences of the previous calamity. Many people looked at history, people, and things. They would not look sideways, but horizontally. If you look at it, you will be able to see more things. "    

Xiao Huai'en asked curiously, "Then what did you see?"    

Xiao Yun stretched out his hand, ordered some tea, and began to draw on the limestone.    

"Qin Country and North Wei were actually the land of another country a thousand years ago."    

"Li Dynasty?"    

"Yes, during the Nine hundred and eighty years of the Li Dynasty, there were some climate phenomena recorded. In the same year, the earth in the central region moved, and locusts flooded. Then, it was the most difficult winter in a thousand years! Snow and snow covered thousands of miles, and corpses of starving people were everywhere. Bones filled the house. In such a large territory, seven out of ten families were gone, because it was truly tragic. It was recorded in the annals of history, but these calamities... They were recorded in different timeline and in different historical books. It seemed difficult to imagine that there were actually so many things. All of them happened in the same year. "    

Xiao Yun sighed and said, "Actually, the reason why there was a cold winter was most likely because of the movement of the field. It causes changes in the earth's crust, and the changes in the terrain will affect the wind. The wind brought with it a lubricant of rain or ice, which would also affect the climate. A wind with ice and snow will engulf the entire world... According to records, the snow was more than six feet deep, the houses collapsed countless times, and the roads were blocked. Cars and horses can't do it, a piece of heaven and earth became a land of death, and there are only a few survivors."    

Xiao Huai'en's eyes instantly became round and round, and he said with a trembling voice, "Can there be... such a great disaster? Doesn't that mean that the Qin Country is also... "    

"So..."    

Xiao Yun sighed and turned his head to smile. "I am not playing now."    

History.    

It would always be repeated.    

Because some things, even if you put in all your effort, you can't change them.    

Tragedies are the same as disasters, it will always be the same.    

The only thing that can be done is to make sufficient preparations when the disaster comes, and face it with an absolute attitude.    

Very quickly, a piece of velvet appeared in front of Xiao Yun, covering him like snow, and it was as light as a cloud.    

He carefully put on a layer of brocade cloth with Qing'er and carefully sutured the edge. In the middle, he sewed up nine lines of fixation horizontally and vertically.    

He used the big red satin to make a blanket and directly put it on. He fixed it and smoked the scent of osmanthus.    

"This time, when I entered the Palace, I inadvertently saw the Empress. Logically speaking, this junior should have met the elders. When a flat-cut commoner saw the Imperial Mother, he should at least give her a gift. At that time, I was in a hurry and didn't prepare anything. It just so happens that this blanket will be sent over as a gift. "    

Xiao Yun saw that the Empress was wearing a fur cloak when she went out. Although it looked quite thick, it really wasn't something to keep warm.    

In fact, there was a limit to the understanding of this world when it came to keeping her warm.    

For example, they felt that the bigger the animal, the more it would make to keep warm and look better.    

The latter was right, but the former was wrong.    

Rich families rarely used the fur of small animals to keep warm, because of the craftsmanship.    

When the small fur was pieced together, the middle part would be very obvious and look messy.    

Therefore, the fur of large animals, especially the entire fur, was the most popular.    

Xiao Yun had never thought of this before, because some things were already common knowledge in his heart. He felt that everyone in the world should know about it.    

But reality proved that after he came into contact with hunters, he understood the common knowledge that he knew. In this world, it was information that no one knew.    

Yes, in this world, the knowledge of the quality of fur and fur still remained on "Long-hair."    

The longer the fur grew, the better, the brighter it would be, and the higher the grade, the warmer it would be.    

But in reality, it was the exact opposite.    

It truly kept warm, and it was separated by water. The wind could not blow through it, and the snow could not melt. The thing that was not soaked by the water was the fur!    

As for the shiny fur on the outside, there was only one use, and that was to protect the fur.    

It did not even have the ability to separate itself from water.    

When he thought about it, he was afraid that when he slept, the bedding was also covered with fur, and it was the kind that didn't count as grand guardian's warmth. If he wanted to sleep well, he had to use charcoal fire.    

This was also why the entire palace's surroundings were so fragrant.    

Because the Empress was trying to use various spices to offset the slight acidic taste of the charcoal fire.    

Xiao Huai'en looked at Xiao Yun, not knowing what was in his grandson's head.    

He only lightly smiled and didn't say anything else.    

A lot of people had already gathered in the courtyard. Normally, they wouldn't be able to enter the courtyard. Now that Xiao Huai'en had returned, they actually had the power to do so for a short period of time.    

It wasn't easy for them to hear the conversation between their grandfathers and grandsons, but they didn't expect that they would only talk about these things.    

The two of them had just survived a disaster. Logically speaking, they should be more excited.    

But this clearly wasn't the case.    

Xiao Wansheng also rushed over. He knew what kind of disposition his father had.    

In fact, Xiao Huai'en would not panic if he encountered any major events. After all, he had been on the battlefield for so many years. There had been so many battles, big and small, and he had almost died several times.    

As the saying goes, you are used to seeing life and death.    

But Xiao Yun was different. How could he have such an indifferent character?    

This was really different from the him in the past.    

After tidying up the bedding, Xiao Yun stood up and stretched. He said, "Our Xiao family's shop needs to add some new things to sell. En... We can also make some handkerchief trades or something along the way. Does our family have any powerful women? Can we contact the women of other families?"    

Xiao Huai'en rubbed between his eyebrows and said, "There was one before."    

"Where is she?"    

"Weren't you the one who chased him away?" asked ___.    

"Oh..."    

Xiao Yun rolled his eyes helplessly.    

The position of Xiao Wansheng's main wife was still there.    

It seemed like he really liked that girl from the Zhao family.    

Xiao Yun curled his lips and said, "We don't have it in our family. Maybe the other families will have it."    

"What exactly are you trying to do?"    

"There's no harm in being prepared."    

Xiao Yun chuckled and got someone to lead Xiao Huai'en back to the backyard. He took a bath and burned incense again, saying that he wanted to wash away the bad luck he brought out of the imperial prison.    

...    

The quilt that Xiao Yun sent over was placed on the table of His Majesty.    

He reached out and touched it, then picked it up and weighed it in his hand. He touched the satin and the corners of his eyes twitched.    

"Good fellow, you snatched it from Zhen... Cough cough, what he gave Zhen is even better. The satin on it is from the Silken House, right? "    

The Grand Eunuch smiled bitterly and said, "The best silkworm and the most meticulous work is precisely the Silken House's Sable Diao Huan."    

Diao Huan was a woman of legend in the world. She was a beauty that was renowned throughout the world a few hundred years ago, and according to legend, the most outstanding thing about her was her skin.    

According to legend, one day when he walked on the road and encountered a rainy day, Diao Huan was directly drenched. However, when she returned home, other than her clothes being wet, there was no more violent rainwater on her face and palm. It would slide down from her body without leaving a trace.    

There was another legend that said mosquitoes could not fall from her body. Because it was too slippery, if the mosquitoes did not exert strength, they would break their legs.    

The brocade cloth of the Celestial Mink Abode was also the most outstanding material in the world, but it did not belong to the Qin Country.    

The brocade tower belonged to the Sun Moon Country.
