Accompany Da Vinci's Super God Day

The blue Danube soon became popular throughout Florence, and even became popular in Gentiles.

This song was originally recorded by Heidi herself, but people would preconceive that it was Da Vinci's creation, and the reason why she is also a collaborator is probably because she helped to serve tea and water and deliver snacks.

Leonardo da Vinci was already known by many people in Florence a few years ago because of his unique portrait paintings, and now his popularity has increased, and many people are eager to talk about marriage with him.

——That beautiful lady with light blue eyes heard that she is an alchemist who inherits the ancient teachings, and she is of noble birth, and has an inseparable relationship with the Medici family. Naturally, the common people dare not make too much of it. They just write about it every day. After reading love poems, flowers and various gifts came over.

But Da Vinci was of marriageable age and had a decent job, yet he refused one after another.

His father, Piero, was a little worried about this, and visited him several times, as if he wanted to find a beautiful girl for him.

"Number one, I'm not gay — I've said that many times."

"Second, don't mention things like marriage anymore, it's impossible."

These two words were heard by the maid, and then quietly spread to the public, and there were new rumors——

Since such a handsome and talented young man is not gay and refuses to get married, he probably already has a sweetheart.

Thinking about it carefully, the most beautiful girl around him is of course the talented Miss Kesler!

So the good people began to talk about various possibilities, and even began to add fuel and vinegar, talking about the nose and the eyes.

A lady claimed that she saw the two of them wandering in the royal garden. It was the painter who couldn't make love and left sadly. Later, he drank a lot of sorrow.

A groom plausibly said that Da Vinci was unrequitedly in love with Miss Kesler. He watched her off for a long time when he sent her away from the Palace of Ducale, and stayed where he was for a long time after the beautiful woman disappeared.

All kinds of rumors are fermenting and growing in different ways, and some people even say that they saw Botticelli and Da Vinci fighting for her in the yard with their own eyes——

When Da Vinci heard these ridiculous rumors, he rolled his eyes and felt a little lucky.

Some of the words were indeed true—but he stayed where he was for a long time, because he was thinking about how the iron blue was formed, and it had nothing to do with romantic feelings at all.

This kind of luck seems to be somewhat utilitarian, but generally there is nothing wrong with it.

——Heidi is an open-minded and intelligent girl. When she hears such words, she will just laugh it off and not be very angry.

With these rumors, the probability of him being accused of homosexuality in the Holy See will be significantly reduced.

That leaves more time to soak up the theater.

It really kills two birds with one stone.

Heidi also heard Dejo describe those jokes vividly, but she didn't take it seriously.

It can even be said that those contents just passed by her ears, leaving no impression in her memory.

She is doing more important things.

The map of this era is somewhat vague, and there is no clear historical record.

She had to go to the library to borrow related old books, trying to figure out the past and present situation.

As a woman in the twentieth century, even if she has studied a part of history, she may not be able to figure out this complicated situation.

The first is the current political layout of the whole of Europe, or in other words, centered on Italy.

It should be precisely in the Habsburg dynasty that the Holy Roman Empire is weakening and disintegrating.

When she was interrogated by the lord for the first time, the words she answered were actually correct and wrong.

At that time, the matter was urgent, she didn't have so much time to think too much, and she was not too sure when she said it.

In fact, Milan, Florence, Prague, Genoa and other regions all belong to the Holy Roman Empire and are one of the dependent countries.

But the reason why it is both wrong and correct is because the meaning of her words is roughly equivalent to 'I am a person from the Holy See'.

The Holy See has no fixed institutions so far, and the central hub is constantly shifting with the change of power.

So they acquiesced that she was from Vienna, the seat of the Holy See today.

Even part of it was correct.

The entire Holy Roman Empire is like a sliced ​​pizza. The city-states have their own masters, and the existence of the emperor itself is also empty.

— This is not a good thing.

For those in power and careerists, division and instability represent opportunities, but for people like Heidi who yearn for peace, it is a potential big trouble.

She continued to keep calm through the dictation of various people and related materials.

It turned out that things were progressing much faster than she had imagined.

In the first year of her sudden awakening from the haystack, Florence erupted in Bloody Mass.

That rebellion caused all members of the Pazzi family to be hanged on the windows of the Ducale Palace. Mr. Keg also painted a bloody picture on the wall of the city hall to warn all citizens.

The riot cost Lorenzo his brother, and he himself was targeted by Pope Sixtus IV—

The Archbishop of Pisa was among the hanged rebels, and the whole Curia, outraged, forced Florence to surrender Lorenzo immediately.

The pope confiscated their family property, threatened to disqualify all members of the Florentine court, and would take away the city's religious authority.

At that time, the monks and citizens of the whole city rebelled, and even war conflicts occurred.

But the problem is that the Grand Duke of the powerful Kingdom of Naples openly supported the Pope, and only the trading nations Milan and France provided part of the support in this war.

At the critical juncture, Lorenzo went to Naples alone, persuaded the enemy and concluded the contract with his own efforts.

The Pope has lost his most powerful supporter, so he can only pretend to be confused and turn over this page.

When Heidi heard the complete ins and outs, her inner feelings were quite complicated.

Sure enough, as the world says, there are no permanent friends and enemies, only permanent interests.

Today's France takes into account trade relations, and is willing to help Florence when it is in trouble.

But 20 years later, it was France that stabbed in the back and invaded wantonly.

Close allies can also become backstabs, all for profit.

Heidi thought about it for a long time, and decided to talk to the lord.

She needs to reach an agreement with him as soon as possible to pull Da Vinci out of the theater and let him devote himself to the design of various fortifications and improve various weapons of the army.

The Medici family in 1480 seems to have reached a peak.

The lord has a stronger body, and the moths and cheaters in the family business have also been cleaned up a lot.

What's even more valuable is that the nearby city-states are all in peace, and trade has become more prosperous.

Thinking about these things, she walked up the steps quickly to knock on the office door again.

When Kexima opened the door, he subconsciously looked at her hands, and when he saw that she hadn't brought any novelties, his face was slightly disappointed.

Lorenzo is reviewing this quarter's investment report.

The assessment and audit methods she provided are indeed efficient and concise, allowing people to quickly find key points from massive amounts of information.

Hearing the announcement, the lord raised his head, and his first reaction was to see what she had brought.

--Nothing at all.

Heidi stood in front of him, but she forgot her words.

So much to say, where to start?

And how can he not arouse his suspicion?

Seeing her coming, Lorenzo hesitated but did not respond, and opened his mouth lightly.

"From the end of the year to now, you have done a lot."

"And it's the right thing."

He put down the scroll in his hand, looked into her eyes, as if examining her emotions and heart.

"Is there any feedback you want?"

Heidi hesitated and decided to talk to him about Florence's perimeter defense.

Before she could speak, the lord spoke again.

"But then again...why, do you have to do so many things?"

He is a very clever man.

Since he took power at the age of 20, if he is not smart, he may die at any time.

The young girl in front of her has beauty, wisdom, conversation, and new knowledge.

But she is not interested in gold coins, and she will not cling to any powerful person.

——Then what exactly does she want?

For a moment, Lorenzo suspected that she, like some beautiful ladies, wanted to win him over to have an ambiguous relationship.

But the second this idea appeared, he directly denied it.

This woman always keeps a distance from the opposite sex, never stays alone with any man, and takes the maid with her wherever she goes.

Keep the distance, even to yourself, in the middle of alienation and intimacy.

Heidi understood the deep meaning of his words.

She took a deep breath and said the most direct answer.

"For asylum."

"shelter?"

"As you can see, I am the one being hunted down by the Holy See."

We have a common enemy.

"why?"

"Does the Pope need a reason to kill someone?"

This sentence was answered without thinking, but Lorenzo laughed instead.

He has always admired this side of her.

Cold, prickly, without any kind of tame.

This side is often rarely exposed, and she has long seemed like an ordinary girl who can be manipulated.

But it will also reveal flaws.

"go on."

"But when I came to Florence, I found that here is also...unsafe."

Heidi felt as if she was walking a tightrope, every word could lead to death, but she had to take such a risky attempt.

She waited in silence for two seconds, raising her eyes to observe Lorenzo's expression.

He is very calm.

"You think Florence is not safe," Lorenzo repeated.

He thought of the eccentric ascetic, and thought of his brother's death.

She was right, the city was also unsafe.

This is still the case today.

Heidi wanted to tell him the future history as a prophecy.

The method of pretending to be a ghost is actually very good at fooling those whose minds are not firm.

Her brain was running fast, but she finally rejected this choice.

When talking to Lorenzo about anything, it's best to use logic.

Show him the weights at the two ends of the scale, show him the pros and cons of things, more than anything else.

She bowed deeply, and directly took out the map she carried with her.

She used a paintbrush to redefine the divisions and colors, and the size and relationship between the powers were clear.

In terms of population, Florence is not as good as Milan, let alone Naples and France.

In terms of military strength, it is so weak that it can barely protect itself. Once an enemy country really invades strongly, it may not be able to last for a few days.

——Even the pope can bring them close to the brink of extinction. If France really crossed the Alps, the consequences would be disastrous.

"However, please take a closer look at Florence today."

She stared into his eyes with a calm and composed tone.

"The city is home to countless works of art and treasures of all kinds, and a wealth of wealth that would move the hearts of any nation."

"It's right at the very center of the vortex right now."

-2-

A woman should not talk about politics so lightly.

But she was right.

Lorenzo's posture relaxed a little, and he asked, "What do you think should be done?"

Heidi realized that he was willing to continue this topic, and said cautiously: "It depends on your plan first."

The trust that the two of them give each other is based on the fact that they have the same level of logic and metacognition.

What they trust is actually the other party's interests and a clear enough mind.

As a fugitive with a mysterious origin, Heidi has made effective proofs in multiple incidents and independent choices.

"Stablize."

"The interior of Florence is not stable enough yet."

Although the Medici family has multiplied for several generations, in terms of bloodline and historical origin, it is still far behind many local nobles.

He is now holding grand banquets and parades, all of which are constantly enhancing the family's prestige in this city.

Only when internal power is stable and seamless can we proceed with external affairs.

This is indeed the most basic step.

Her other ideas will not be discussed until the basic pattern is stabilized.

Heidi nodded, lowered her head and thought for a moment, and gave a rather concise suggestion.

"You can create a covert communication network first."

The hasty recruitment and manufacture of ordnance now is indeed likely to arouse the vigilance of Milan and Naples.

But timely access to information can inadvertently turn the tide.

"Communication network?"

She smoothed the map and circled the nearby city-states with charcoal, marking the most important cities.

To establish a regular intercommunication of information reports, and stables everywhere—

Once a major event happened somewhere, Florence wanted to get the news as soon as possible.

Lorenzo roughly calculated the cost in his mind and nodded in agreement.

"As for the transfer and management of property, please pay more attention."

Heidi explained many related concepts to him and bowed deeply before leaving.

He watched her leave in silence, looking away when the door closed.

It was already mid-February when Da Vinci looked for her again.

During the past month or so, each of them has been very busy.

Heidi plunged into the library, constantly tutoring various histories about the Roman Empire, trying her best to let herself enter the role of this era faster.

She needs to know the see-saw and friends and foes of each country, and remember clearly the ownership and development status of different countries.

Botticelli's "Spring" has finally been painted, and it seems that he has begun to paint another pagan myth.

Da Vinci continued to improve the automatic playing mechanism, and invited many excellent musicians to create new works.

It was at this moment that the carnival began.

Citizens put on masks made of different materials and roamed the long street in groups.

Some of them wore garlands and painted ornaments, and sang love songs and satires with strange tones.

What's more interesting is that Lorenzo hired many painters to design various floats and costumes for actors.

In the past, this custom was done spontaneously, but now it is more prosperous and colorful with official instructions.

Heidi went to help Da Vinci decorate the float as usual, and also helped draw a robin.

Her brushstrokes are crooked, with a touch of modern comic style.

This year's carnival parade has a theme, and the final content is "Triumph of Dionysus".

When the time comes, all kinds of cheerful music will be played together, and all the old, young, women and children flock to both sides of the road and stretch their necks to watch the excitement.

A row of floats and a team of knights came one after another, looking luxurious and romantic.

The floats and horses are full of teenagers in costumes. They look muscular and smile charmingly, surrounded by flowers.

The young man playing the role of the Roman god of wine wears a crown made of vines, and even the harp in his hand is hung with bunches of grapes.

Standing in the distance and watching, Heidi suddenly recognized him as the pretty boy who asked Da Vinci to learn the lyre.

The long queue walked from the palace all the way to the public square in front of the cathedral, and the choir that had been prepared for a long time began to sing loudly.

May Dionysus live forever!

Dance and play and sing,

Let sweet love ignite the heart——

The melody was really cheerful and enthusiastic, and many people started to shake and dance to it.

The knights began to fight with fencing, and there were small vendors and peasant women selling flowers and small cakes along the street with baskets.

The children learned very quickly and soon started singing along too.

——When it comes, it will come.Don't care about his future fate!

Da Vinci held a small notebook and started sketching again, while Heidi listened for a long time.

"Does it sound good?" He glanced sideways at her.

"Huh?" Heidi was still looking at the float with the huge wine bottle hanging on it: "It's a very passionate love song, was it written by Ghirlandaio?"

"Wrong guess," he looked at her and laughed, "it was written by the lord himself."

"What? That old-fashioned and serious lord?" Heidi smiled a little surprised: "How is this possible?"

"He wrote many romantic and fiery love poems, and he was famous in Florence many years ago." He patted her on the shoulder and motioned her to watch those high-flying pigeons: "When you stay here for a long time, you will also become a poet."

A few days after the end of the carnival, Da Vinci came to visit again.

"Heidi—will you come to Milan with me?"

Heidi was packing up the experimental equipment, and was a little dazed when she heard the invitation: "Is it so sudden?"

"Sforza in Milan invited me to hold a grand ball for the little duke." He shook the blueprint in his hand: "I decided to name it—Heavenly Feast."

"If I remember correctly, the little duke is only four or five years old?" She thought for a while and said, "Is it safe if I go?"

"You can pretend to be my maid," Da Vinci added, looking at her face, "wrap your hair in coarse cloth, take off all the jewelry, and paint some freckles and shadows—as long as you make it ugly, it won't be too much. Many people will notice you."

Heidi hesitated, but agreed.

She went to explain briefly to the lord, and the other party nodded quite readily.

Milan and Fiorentina are now friendly allies and nothing will go wrong.

After two years, she finally left this small town and was able to go out to breathe.

There are not only a lot of guys on the team, but also the little wine god Atalante.

Da Vinci calculated the distance early on, claiming that it was about 180 miles from Florence to Milan.

"I made an odometer, which can be used to verify how long I have traveled." Da Vinci shook the circular device in his hand: "Isn't it interesting?"

No, I've seen this thing on car dials.

It took them almost a week to arrive in Milan.

Heidi sometimes gets tired sitting in the carriage, and misses her Ford car very much.

If you jump another four or five hundred years, a car can run in only three or four hours.

But what I have to say is that the rural scenery of this era is almost like an oil painting.

Be it the weeping willows beside the gurgling stream, the peasant woman holding a cat, or the large wheat fields and vineyards, everything is so simple and natural.

She noticed that Leonardo Da Vinci's notebook was replaced by another one on the way, and the descriptions of bushes and rural vistas were quite beautiful.

Sometimes Heidi would ask for a pen and draw something randomly on paper.

"What do these two circles and triangles mean?" Da Vinci sat beside her, looking curiously: "There are two more points?"

It's Mickey Mouse.

Heidi considered the definition of comics and showed him a few more stick figures.

No need to paint textures and bones, or show their relationship to the gods.

Simple lines and dots can express a lot.

"It's a—rat? Why?"

She chuckled, waved her hands and gave up answering.

Milan is the second largest city in Italy and one of the largest vassal states of the Holy Roman Empire.

A cathedral is being built here. Although it is said to have been under construction 100 years ago, it has not been capped yet.

When Heidi was listening to Da Vinci's explanation, she was still looking at the peddlers nearby who were selling small things.

Ice cream is no longer available, but dried berries are also good.

"Why hasn't it been capped yet?"

"Because the dome is difficult to design and build." Da Vinci beckoned, and the small trader trotted to the side of the carriage, raised the basket and signaled them to look at the things inside.

"Sir—will you have some sugar? From the East, for a silver coin for a spoonful!"

"We don't need to buy medicine, thank you." Leonardo Da Vinci saw that she had bought fresh dried fruit, and tried to bring the topic back to architecture: "Actually, the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore in Florence was finally completed recently. The dome is down."

"Medicine?" Heidi ignored his point, but looked at the clay pot that the peddler was holding.

"Are you saying that sugar is a potion?"

"Isn't it used to cure sore throat or stomach problems?" Da Vinci was still looking at the majestic and magnificent cathedral, and couldn't hear the surprise in her tone.

"I have a sore throat." Heidi took out four silver coins neatly: "Please put on more, thank you."

The author has something to say: There are a few references to Baidu Encyclopedia for the history.

Objective facts and history can only be recounted as they are... This is really not original.

【March 3 Notes】

【Medieval food and entertainment】

Diet: Breakfast

People living in the Middle Ages usually didn't pay much attention to breakfast.Different from the modern view of diet, they think that breakfast and lunch are unnecessary. This is likely to be related to their living habits, because they get up early and go to bed late, especially farmers, who have to plow the land, plant the fields, grind the flour and make money in the morning. Taxes, etc., there is no time to take care of the house let alone eat breakfast.If you must eat breakfast, most of it is a piece of dry bread with a sip of water.But they will not feel hungry, because there will be a big meal at one or two in the afternoon, and another supper at seven or eight in the evening.Some people even add another meal from nine to ten o'clock.For the poor farmer breakfast is unnecessary and a great waste.

The aristocrats seem to have this habit as well, but this began to change in the [-]th and [-]th centuries.At the end of the [-]th century, a nutritionist similar to the present began to appear and arrange meals for the nobles. They mainly called on people to eat less meat and pasta (it is normal to have no vegetables in a medieval banquet), and not to drink spring water. Well water, and one last item: eat breakfast.Some aristocrats and landowners began to have bread and red wine for breakfast like the ancient Greeks. It was not so much a health orientation as it was a fashion among the high class, and eating breakfast became a kind of politeness.

In the fifteenth century, breakfast began to change again.In addition to keeping bread and red wine, many English nobles eat cheese, ham and ale or three-in-one mead for breakfast (note: ale is made from barley, and three-in-one mead is three parts water to one part. Honey mixed with a little ginger juice and fermented for eight months).In this way, breakfast is gradually accepted by people.And the peasant eating breakfast is a story of the sixteenth century.In the Middle Ages Russian nobles liked to use honey vodka instead of mead, while in the Balkans people liked to add a little fig or fresh vegetables.

But the Scottish nobles had their own breakfast: oatmeal.This crude but very nutritious food has become a Scottish icon and a joke in England, where it is fed to horses.The Scots made oatmeal into various foods, but the most popular oatmeal is oatmeal. Now people eat oatmeal with milk, honey and fresh fruit, but if this oatmeal is brought to Scotland in the fifteenth century, it will be ridiculed as a coward by others.Most of the oatmeal at that time was oatmeal, water, salt, and a glass of milk, so that you could eat it while marching, and some people even put whiskey in the oatmeal to keep them energetic all day; at the same time, there was oatmeal Bread oatmeal pancakes, and creamy oatmeal porridge is oatmeal with whipped cream and a little fresh berry.This Scottish breakfast lasted until the seventeenth century and even today, but now this oatmeal is a fake, but traces of the Middle Ages can still be found in the countryside.

[Short story translated from foreign language materials]

Da Vinci was commissioned to cast a bronze horse when he was playing for Sforza in Milan.

So he went to dissect a whole horse.

Because the anatomy was so detailed, he decided to write a monograph on horse anatomy(?)

While dissecting, he began trying to devise ways to make the stables cleaner.

Then began designing a system for automatically filling the feed and cleaning the manure.

Then I travel abroad with my friends to see other people's horses.

Came back and made a full size clay horse(??)

Sforza wrote directly to Lorenzo, asking him to send two more painters to him.

After all, this guy is really—really unreliable.

Follow-up:

The bronze horse was half finished, and the materials were requisitioned to cast the cannon.

Headless Bronze Horse: Hiccup.
