The snow has been falling for two days and has just stopped in the morning. The strong freeze has solidified the infinite snow surface. The roads, walls and trees are all covered with infinite and only white.
Occasionally I walked up to the city and looked out. The snow actually froze people's hearts. The entire white place was white, frozen, and glowing like paint.
Heavy snow covered the entire north, and the expansion work in Jicheng also stopped. However, only the Hanlin Academy continued to work after the snow stopped. Thousands of skilled craftsmen recruited from various counties in Youzhou have gathered in Jicheng to live in
In a row of newly built courtyards in the north of the city, Gao Fei entertained him in the most enthusiastic way.
Occasionally, you can see traces of coal carts driven by mules and horses outside the city. The harsh winter is coming, and coal has become a tool for heating. Distributing coal from door to door is more economical than burning firewood.
Since coal was mined in Youzhou, first the people in Liaodong have lived a winter that is no longer afraid of severe cold, and then it has spread to the entire Youzhou. In order to survive the winter, Gao Fei ordered all counties and counties to stockpile coal early and carry out local operations.
coal mine exploration work and successfully discovered dozens of coal mines.
Black cinders fell on the white snow, and a professional coal transportation line was born. Every day, convoys pulling coal from all directions enter Jicheng to supply the needs of the entire Jicheng.
The cold wind blew in his face, and Gao Fei's clothes whistled in the wind. He raised his head and looked up at the sky. Looking at the pure sky, he felt very relaxed.
Suddenly, a strange big bird flew past the sky, completely attracting his attention. The big bird flew into the wind and hovered freely in the sky.
Gao Fei's eyes were fixed on the big bird flying in the sky. At a height of several hundred meters, the figure of the big bird was clearly visible. There were no rich feathers, no curved pecks, and no sharp claws.
There is only the overall red and black frame and the huge wings.
"That's..." After staring at the big bird for a while, Gao Fei frowned. He clearly saw that it was not a real big bird, but a wooden kite with huge wings and light.
Under the bald belly, there is a thin figure hidden, "A trapeze artist?"
"Fly... flying man?" Gao Lin, who was behind Gao Fei, was even more shocked. He had never seen such a thing before. A man actually flew into the sky, soaring like a bird. He couldn't help but be shocked.
Gao Fei was surprised. Gao Fei was even more surprised than Gao Lin. He had never seen anything before, but a trapeze artist suddenly appeared in this era, which made him feel very incredible. He couldn't restrain the surprise and joy in his heart, and his eyes
Following the trapeze artist closely, I saw the trapeze artist hovering in the sky for a long time, flying with the help of the wind, and finally descending slowly.
"Gao Lin, prepare your horses quickly and come with me out of the city!" Gao Fei saw the flying man flying to the other side of a high hill and disappeared from his eyes. He hurriedly shouted to Gao Lin behind him.
Gao Lin responded, and hurriedly stepped down from the city tower before Gao Fei. He brought two horses from the stable next to the city gate, and he and Gao Fei each rode one, and followed Gao Fei out of the city.
Flying high and galloping, he was extremely shocked by the idea of soaring in the air with the help of wind. He never dreamed that ancient people were so smart, and the man driving a flying machine also interested him.
The fast horse galloped and flew high. Gao Lin soon turned around the high slope outside the city, and suddenly saw the big bird circling in the distance, getting lower and lower from the ground, as if it was about to land. He
Without stopping, he headed straight for the flying man.
The wind became weaker and weaker, and the big bird lost the wind force and gradually became heavier. When it was still a hundred meters away from the ground, the big bird quickly fell down and was about to fall to the ground. Who knew that the big bird
The bird's wings suddenly retracted, and a large piece of leather tied with a rope popped out of the groove on its back. The leather instantly opened like a parachute, causing the big bird to slowly float down.
Gao Fei's eyes were filled with shock. He had never thought that such a thing would happen, and he was even more interested and confused about the person piloting this aircraft, because he had never heard of a flying man appearing in the late Eastern Han Dynasty in history.
The big bird floated down slowly and vertically. The man driving the big bird saw two fast horses driving towards him quickly. He did not appear nervous at all, his expression was very peaceful, and he allowed himself to float down slowly.
.
The high-flying horse galloped to the place where the big bird was about to land, and he saw clearly the face of the man driving the big bird. He was actually a fair-skinned young man of about the same age as him, with a handsome face.
The white-faced guy driving Big Bird was thin and looked at the two tall and surprised men standing in front of him, reining in the horse. He didn't say a word, his right hand shook slightly, and then Big Bird's
The verticality turned into an inclination, and he fell down facing the snow.
There was a soft "bang" sound, and the big bird slid forward a few meters when it landed, dragging a long skid mark on the snow, and then the huge piece of leather also fell down.
Gao Fei hurriedly jumped off the horse and ran quickly to the big bird. Just as he was about to reach out to lift the wooden big bird, he heard a muffled sound coming from below the big bird: "Stop, don't touch it."
My stuff."
Gao Fei retracted his hand, and then looked at the big bird's head and tail wings, which were retracted into the body, revealing the head and feet of the little white face. He saw that the little white face was lying face down on the snow.
He hurriedly asked: "Little brother, are you okay?"
The little boy didn't answer, but put his hands and knees on the ground and lifted the wooden bird that was pressing on him. With a muffled "bang", the wooden bird fell to the snow like a wooden door, deeply
The ground was embedded in the snow. Then, the little white face stood up, patted the snow on his body, turned around and said to Gao Fei: "How far is Jicheng from here?"
Gao Fei said: "That's the city you just flew over."
The pretty boy said "Oh" and murmured to himself: "It seems that some improvements need to be made. It was a bit difficult to land..."
"You...you want to go to Jicheng?" Gao Fei glanced at the big bird on the ground that had turned into a thick wooden board, then looked at the pretty face in front of him, and asked.
The pretty boy nodded, squatted down to pack up his aircraft, and said slowly: "I heard that Youzhou Mu summoned skilled craftsmen, and not only did they provide food and accommodation, but they also paid very generous wages, so I came here."
Gao Fei's eyes accidentally glanced at the pretty face's ears, but when he saw that there was an extremely small hole on the pretty face's earlobe, he was immediately shocked, and turned sideways to look at the pretty face. Although he saw that the pretty face
Wearing a very ordinary men's clothing, his hair is tied up in a bun on the top of his head like a man, but under the slightly raised eyebrows on his pretty face, there is a pair of black eyes as deep as a pool of water, and his nose is slender and straight.
The two cherry-colored lips were pursed into a straight line, and the complexion was fair and delicate, so I was sure in my heart that the person in front of me was a girl.
He didn't immediately reveal that the pretty face was disguised as a man, because if he hadn't noticed a hole in the pretty face's earlobe just now, he would have always thought that the pretty face was a handsome and handsome man. When he saw that the pretty face was putting away the leather parachute, he
He knelt down next to her and asked, "Are you here to apply for academician of the Hanlin Academy?"
The pretty boy said: "Yes, I heard that Master Zhou Mu was recruiting skilled craftsmen to gather in Jicheng. I thought I had good skills, so I came to apply. You are from Jicheng, can you take me into Jicheng?"
Gao Fei said: "Okay, but can I know your name?"
The pretty boy said: "My name is Gongshu Fei, which means very Fei, not expensive Fei."
When Gao Fei heard Gong Shufei deliberately emphasize her name, he already guessed that the little girl's real name should be Gong Shufei. He smiled and looked at Gong Shufei, who was about the same age as him.
Fei then asked again: "My surname is Gongshu, I think your aircraft is quite exquisite, and it is made of wood throughout. It contains many subtle mechanisms. These technologies are really unbelievable. Lu Ban also
My surname is Gongshu, do you know if you are related to Lu Ban?"
While Gongshu Fei was packing his things, he replied: "To be honest, my ancestor is Lu Ban..."
"You...are you a descendant of Lu Ban?" Gao Fei said happily.
"Exactly, I am the twenty-third descendant of Lu Ban..." Gong Shufei said proudly in the middle of his sentence. He suddenly stopped, turned to look at Gao Fei beside him, and asked, "Who are you?"
Gao Fei said with a smile on his face: "Haha, I am Youzhou Mu."
Gongshu Fei looked at Gao Fei and saw that Gao Fei was dressed very simply in commoner clothes and he looked to be in his early twenties. He was a little surprised and said: "Are you Youzhou Mu?"
"Yes, I am Youzhou Mu, my name is Gao Fei, and my courtesy name is Ziyu."
Gongshu Fei suddenly laughed: "Brother, you can't lie like this. What I told you is the truth, but you are fighting with me. How can you be a state herdsman at such a young age? Your companions are all more state-like than you.
Mu..."
"Bold!" Gao Lin said displeasedly, "This is our Master Zhou Mu. If you pretend to be false, how can we allow you to be as arrogant as you like?"
Gongshu Fei didn't have any fear at all, he just looked at Gao Fei curiously and asked, "Are you really Youzhou Mu Gao Fei?"
"It's genuine!" Gao Fei stood up, assumed a mighty posture, and said loudly.
Gongshu Fei's face was filled with joy and he knelt down in a hurry and said: "Gongshu Fei pays homage to Mr. Zhou Mu. Please forgive me for the offense I just made!"
Gao Fei smiled and said: "It's not in the way, and those who don't know are not guilty. Gongshu Fei, let me ask you, how far can your big bird fly, and how long can it fly?"
