"Oh, I forgot all about the start of the workshop yesterday."

In his own room, Guo Kang said annoyedly.

He has always been a punctual person, especially for a big project like the workshop, which is related to his overall future planning. The previous afternoon, however, Theodora had moved into his bedroom on his own initiative, and had only allowed him to rest, but had not been allowed to leave.

After the freshness and happiness passed, Guo Kang only felt that the past two days had passed. Now he feels very empty, and he just wants to get away from this stupid girl and study his natural philosophy.

This morning, Theodora finally left him alone.

Sighing again at the window, Guo Kang shook his head, drove away Aristotle, who was using a logical syllogism to argue the sinful nature of women's flesh, and then stood up and prepared to go out to eat something.

- In the past two days, the food they ate was sent by Zhang's mother, and even his father-in-law did not routinely call him to practice. Today, I was finally able to go to the lobby outside to eat.

When I came to the hall, my father-in-law was holding a booklet and reciting it aloud like a schoolboy reading a textbook.

"Agriculture is the mother and nanny of other arts, because when agriculture flourishes, so does all other arts. However, this ......"

He thought for a moment: "Yes, when the land has to be abandoned, the other crafts of those who work on the water, whether they work on the water or not, are in a dying situation. ”

"Dad, what are you doing with this thing?" Guo Kang smiled bitterly: "Xenophon's economic theory is too old, almost two thousand years away from now. The economic laws of that time and the lessons he learned are not necessarily useful now. ”

"Huh?" The stepfather didn't react and looked up at him.

"You know a lot about warfare, let me give you an example." Guo Kang put it another way: "In the early years, both the Greeks and the Romans did not look at bows and arrows very much. But after the relocation of the capital, everyone paid more and more attention to it, and the ancients also wrote a detailed article on why the weapons used by the poor and light infantry in those days have now become the most effective tool for the main army. ”

"The reason for this is the development of technology. The strong bow from the steppe replaced the traditional weak single bow of the Greeks, so much so that the "Strategy" specifically mentioned that in this era, the Romans used the thumb style to open the bow, which was similar to the steppe people and the Central Plains people, rather than the three-finger style used by the Persians and Europeans. ”

"So you get the idea." "It's all changing," he said. ”

"If you want to read some Xenophon's books, you can read his Expedition." Guo Kang recommended: "That book is about the war at that time, it should be easier for you to understand, and we can also use the ideas and summary methods in it." ”

"Oh, okay......" The stepfather seemed to fully accept his suggestion, nodded approvingly, and looked at Guo Kang again. However, he probably didn't think about how to speak for a while, so he had to ask tactfully, "You guys...... This, it's over? ”

"Anyway, you didn't stop me, I'll come out to eat something and rest by the way." When he said this, Guo Kang felt a little hungry again, and he couldn't care about being embarrassed, so he hurriedly begged: "Let the kitchen add more meat to me today!" ”

"Okay, okay! You go to the kitchen yourself to rush. Forget about practicing these two days, rest well and eat well. The father-in-law also nodded again and again, and said with satisfaction: "I think you kid is very good." After tossing for so long, I still have the spirit to teach me to read history directly. Looks like you're still full of energy! ”

"Don't talk nonsense." Guo Kang hurriedly waved his hand: "Then I'll go eat first." ”

With that, he trotted all the way to the kitchen.

After a while, Theodora also changed her clothes and walked out with some unsteady steps. The hall was empty, except for a book in the corner of the table, and when I got closer, it was Xenophon's "Economic Treatise".

"Who's watching?" She muttered to herself, and continued to look left and right, looking for Guo Kang.

At this time, Guo Kang walked over with a dinner plate.

"Oh, you're out too." He looked at the other party and took down the porcelain bowls containing the food one by one: "Come, let's eat something too." I was going to send it to you, but I happened to eat it together here. ”

Theodora nodded, her gaze still soft and less shy. She was not polite, picked up the chopsticks, and ate too.

Yesterday, the queen's palace sent a maid to send clothes, thinking that she had told the queen about her joy, so she gave it to her. Looking at it this way, Theodora's mother was quite thoughtful. On the contrary, she herself didn't know if she had temporarily mustered up courage, so she was unusual, seemed so reckless, and was not prepared.

The new dress was a little loose, but it fit her perfectly. She also re-braided her hair, and her whole person seemed to be rejuvenated.

"What are you going to do after eating?" She asked.

"I forgot all about the workshop yesterday, I have to go and talk to Tuhuan and Xiaozhu." Guo Kang said helplessly: "That steam hammer, I still made my own opinion, and I made something that was not very mature and used it as a signboard." As a result, the first demonstration, I was not in ...... myself"

"Steam? Oh, it's the power that drives that mechanism in the cathedral. Theodora thought about it and understood what it meant.

"yes." Guo Kang nodded: "Hey, if it weren't for the rush to publicize before I left, this time wouldn't have been so tight." ”

"Whether the pistons and cylinders there can be used stably, we have tested too few of them, and we actually don't know the bottom of our hearts. It can only be seen whether Brother Tian is blessed. ”

He really should go to this matter in person, after all, he is the one who knows the principle best. However, yesterday he was locked up at home to study the piston, and Theodora had a rare bullish temper - her attitude at that time, Brother Tian personally went down to earth, and it is estimated that no one can be fished out. I can only say that there is really no way.

"I understand Zhu Wenkui's temperament. He doesn't look like a little prince, but like a craftsman head. Theodora shook his head and said, "Don't worry, if there is a problem with the demonstration, Dehuan understands the situation, and may deal with it himself." But Zhu Wenkui will definitely have to come to you, and no one can pull it. ”

"Since he didn't come, it means that your agency is still normal." She smiled faintly and said, "Eat well, don't worry about that." Later, I will go with you to King Wu's mansion to compensate him. ”

"He's sure he's still in the blacksmith's shop." Guo Kang pointed out: "He is obsessed with that side, we have to go to the shop to find him." ”

"It's noisy, it's not a place for formal conversation." Theodora, however, insisted, "Let's go to the house." ”

Guo Kang felt that with his friendship with Zhu Wenkui, it seemed that there was no need for this. But he didn't answer yet, outside the hall door, Bu Lei looked into the room from behind the shadow wall, and when he saw the two of them, he breathed a sigh of relief and strode over.

"Childe, the Cao family is here to invite you." He raised the letter in his hand: "The Queen Mother seems to be going too." They want to talk to you about bringing troops. ”

The 5,000-word chapter at noon today was actually sent yesterday, and I don't know how to trigger the review, so it's stuck now. Anyway, today's is all together
