Snowflakes were falling in the air, and everything around the fields, the barracks, and the guards guarding the gate was shrouded in the snowflakes.

Su Lu put on a cloak and entered the camp of the capital Beida, and saw a new bird covered with a large group of snowflakes.

Dani and Zhen Yuan Dao, more than a dozen officials from the Ordnance Mansion greeted them, their faces were red with excitement, and the white breath exhaled seemed to bring a hint of joy.

"It's done, the new bird is done."

Dani looked at Su Lu and said happily, with unconcealed joy on her cheeks.

On the school ground, the flying birds that have completed the test flight stand quietly in the open space, which has been covered with a light layer of snow. The large wings on the top of the bird were gone, replaced by crossed wood leaves.

"The method you mentioned is really feasible, this new type of flying bird breathes a few feet faster than the original."

The true patriarch said with a smile, happily closing his mouth.

Qingfeng rubbed his hands beside him, and his tone was full of pride:

"Our flying birds are very tight, there is no problem with one to deal with the original flying birds five or six, lord, whether we are going to fight the Taixi people or destroy the Yingtes, this time we want to make them look good."

Su Lu patted the bird's shell, the knowledge of the previous life was not completely useless, at least the bird could still be used if the way it was driven was changed.

It's a pity that the gunpowder doesn't have its original power, otherwise why would you be afraid of the strong crossbows of the Tessies.

But success is good, Su Lu explained to Dani:

"From now on, we will carry out many test flights, accumulate experience, compare with the original flying bird in an all-round way, lock the model, and then update it."

"Also, the improvement of the strong crossbow and the ballista should also be carried out simultaneously, the flying bird is just a vehicle, the real decisive victory still depends on the crossbow arrows, if our strong crossbow is not good, the Taixi people will dare to break the net."

Dani nodded, "Don't worry, the improvement of the strong crossbow has been going on, the strong crossbow of the Inter people is worse than that of the Taixi people, and the one we imitate is not as powerful as the Inter people, so naturally we can't slack off." ”

Su Lu nodded, accompanied by Dani, and checked the improvement of the ballista, and put forward his own opinions on the direction in which the ballista might be changed, after all, this is a weapon of war for a long time in the future, whether the Han Kingdom can block the encirclement of Inter and Taixi, the weight of the ballista is very heavy.

Improvements to conventional ordnance were also underway, but Su Lu knew very little about them, so he didn't put forward suggestions for improvement, much to the disappointment of the officials and craftsmen of the Ordnance Department who were full of expectations.

Dani led a group of people out of the camp surrounded Su Lu, and Su Lu said a few words of encouragement, then turned around and got into the carriage and went back to the city.

The curtain of the carriage was lowered, isolating the two worlds inside and outside, and Su Lu instructed Lin Gang beside him and said:

"The Ordnance Department is a heavy weapon of the country, I see that some of the craftsmen's clothes are tattered, and the regular robes on the guards on duty are also worn, and the special reward is issued, and the director of the Ordnance Department is above, and ten sets of cotton clothes are given, and the size can be set by yourself."

"The officers and soldiers of the guard army on duty in the Ordnance Division will be rewarded and promoted to the rank of one level."

Lin Gang quickly wrote it down, with some doubts on his face, glanced at Su Lu, and stopped talking.

Su Lu leaned back on the carriage and glanced at Lin Gang:

"Just ask, if there's anything you want to ask."

Lin Gang's face turned red, and it took a long time before he spoke:

"Second brother, improve the birds, make ordnance, this is the ministry of the Ordnance Department, do a good job is the right thing, eat the king's Lu, loyal to the king's business, their Lu is enough, a reward of ten sets of cotton clothes, will this be too heavy."

Su Lu pondered for a while, and then spoke:

"Being mean and unkind is a taboo for those in the upper position."

"Looking at the history books, the reason why the people who died in all dynasties and dynasties was because the people in power were mean and unkind, so that the people's grievances boiled, and the heroes of the world rose up to overthrow the mean and ungrateful rulers."

"Lin Gang, you have to remember that greed is the nature of man, and if you can't restrain this nature, man himself will perish. If the rulers of a dynasty are unable to restrain their greedy nature, then the dynasty will perish. ”

Lin Gang looked ignorant, looking at Su Lu, a little confused, aren't we discussing the matter of the overly rich reward, how did it become the reason for the demise of the previous dynasties, but it seems that he has learned a lot of things, and it is good to follow the prince.

The carriage drove into the palace and stopped in front of the dormitory.

Su Lu got out of the car, and before he entered the courtyard of the dormitory, he heard Su Yun's voice scolding the eldest girl.

"Come back quickly, the princess wants to see the snow, you can take her there, what if you catch the cold."

When Su Lu entered the courtyard, he saw Su Yun standing at the door of the main hall, scolding the eldest girl surrounded by a group of palace maids.

The eldest girl was also surrounded by a group of palace maids, holding Su Yi and standing in the snow to watch the snow, Xiao Su Yi, who saw the snowflakes for the first time, was very happy and giggled.

Seeing Su Lu enter the courtyard, all the palace maids knelt down one after another.

Su Lu waved his hand, "It's still snowing, so you don't have to kneel." ”

"Big girl, why do you have time to enter the palace, you are married, as if you have disappeared."

"There is also Erya, who is married, as if there is no longer you in the palace."

The eldest girl lowered her head when she heard this, and her voice was low:

"Lord Mingjian, the eldest girl doesn't want to enter the palace to meet the prince and the princess, she is really married to her husband, my lord has served as the state pastor, and he was transferred back to the capital three days ago, and as soon as the slave and maid settle down, they will come to see the princess and the princess."

Su Yun came over and snatched Su Yi away, and said indignantly:

"Hmph, I don't know if you want to run for your master, so you came back to see the prince and me."

The eldest girl's face changed, and she couldn't speak.

Su Lu sighed, commanded, and said:

"Okay, since you're here, then Su Yun, you can treat the eldest girl, Changning, take the little princess to rest, children are developing their brains, they have to sleep more, otherwise they will be stupid when they are older."

The eldest girl looked at Su Lu in surprise and secretly remembered these words in her heart.

Su Luming brought a chaise longue, wrapped in a cotton robe, and looked at the snow at the entrance of the main hall, thinking about the current situation.

Cao Hua's unified army attacked the Tang Dynasty, and had successively broken the Shangshan Jiedu Mansion, the Sanchong Jiedu Mansion, and the Dongting Jiedu Mansion, which was not far from the Tang Capital.

As the war progressed, the surroundings gradually became unstable.

Originally, there were only sporadic shadows of the Taixi army in the Western Border, but as the war progressed, more and more Taixi sergeants began to appear, flying birds, ballistas, and even strong crossbows all appeared once.

The Tessians are determined to interfere in this war.

To the east, Su Ping reported that the big ships of the Inters had appeared off the coast of Wangjiang for a month, and if it weren't for the powerful ballistae on the top of the east pole of the port, these big ships would probably not have gone under Su Ping's nose.

However, there is no way, the Han Kingdom originally did not have a sailor, and recruited the cool river, but only had the strength of the sailor on the inland river, which was far worse than the warships of the Interns.

Although the craftsmen of the Lu family have built their own warships, it is a pity that the sailors before the Han Kingdom lacked too much strength, and there was no fleet that could go to sea, so they could only let the Inter people show off their might on the sea.

"I want dumplings at sea."

Su Lu sighed and said.
