Datang Institute of Technology
Chapter 67
A group of people looked at Xu Changsheng who was complacent, and then at the broken wooden cart, but they couldn't understand it no matter how they looked.
"Xu Jiazi, can you show this thing?" They still had to see what it was.
Xu Changsheng nodded, "It's just a concept, so I can only show you a little bit."
Then people started to set fire to it.
This time, everyone discovered that there were a lot of briquettes under the cauldron on the wooden board.
Xu Changsheng covered the cauldron with a lid, and asked someone to move a stone to press it down, so that there was no ventilation.
Everyone couldn't understand it even more. Is this cooking on a wooden cart?
Because there is a precedent for pressure cookers, many people are thinking so.
But the pressure cooker is very delicate at first glance, much better than this big pot.
Xu Changsheng looked at the doubtful group of people and said, "Everyone knows the bicycle in our Xujia Village, right? It doesn't need horses, but is powered by people."
Many people nodded. They must have seen bicycles. Now in Chang'an, a group of people in uniform uniforms can be seen playing around. It is said that they have formed several convoys.
Xu Changsheng continued, "What Changsheng wants to say is that the car can run without people or horses."
Everyone was stunned.
Without people or horses?
Although the bicycle is magical, it is at least within their understanding.
But what does Xu Jiazi mean by this now?
Xu Changsheng continued, "What Changsheng has to do now is to show everyone how to make a car move by itself without using human or animal power."
Everyone was stunned, how could this be possible?
It's like talking about a stone, and it runs with long legs.
It is completely unreasonable and unimaginable.
"Could Xu Jiazi be bragging?"
"How could such a thing happen? Doesn't that mean that the carriages in the future will not use horses?"
Xu Changsheng smiled, "Maybe a few years, maybe decades, after Changsheng has researched this subject, horses will really be unnecessary for carriages, and everyone knows how expensive horses are, just the amount of fodder a horse eats in a year I'm afraid it's enough to feed several people..."
Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, can a carriage without horses still be called a carriage?
Xu Changsheng continued, "The car that can be driven without human and animal power is just one of its applications. If the research of Changsheng is successful, it will free up more labor and do more meaningful things."
The more people listened, the less they understood.
Xu Changsheng thought to himself, if they don't show it to them, they will never understand it.
He climbed onto the flatbed cart by himself, and fanned the stove below. In order to reduce the gravity on the cart, he asked the two young people from the Xu family who were burning the fire to get off, and he came in person.
The honeycomb has been burned through, and the firepower is very strong.
Because the pot is sealed, you can't see what's inside, not even the water vapor, but you can hear the sound of water boiling.
Everyone looked very puzzled.
At this time, suddenly, a "woo" sounded.
Only then did everyone realize that there was a chimney-like thing connected to the bottom of the pot, but it was blocked by something.
Now, the position of the chimney was suddenly opened by some force, and the thing blocking the chimney seemed to move.
I thought it was an auditory hallucination, but immediately, more voices came out.
It is actually an extremely simple piston. As long as the steam generated in the pot expands to a certain extent, the force generated will push the piston.
Outside the piston is a wheel in the style of a waterwheel, on which a simple conveyor belt is tied, and the conveyor belt is connected to the front two wheels of the flatbed.
This is a simple to outrageous energy conversion device.
Xu Changsheng kept emphasizing that this was just a concept because it was so simple.
Boilers are replaced by cauldrons.
cylinder?That's the flue.
The base, yes, is the wooden board.
The piston is a piece of stuff he found from nowhere. Now because there is no connecting rod and rocker, it can't be used. It is only used as a switch to release steam.
As for the re-condensation of cooled steam into water, there is no switch for repeated use.
A pot of water like this needs to be boiled dry after a while, and a real steam engine can use a tank of water repeatedly for a month or two.
The waterwheel-like wheel outside the piston is actually a simple and unadorned vortex machine, which is driven by steam to rotate and convert the power of steam into kinetic energy. This vortex machine does not even have a casing.
This is a turbo steam engine. Because there is no connecting rod and rocker, the most important kinetic energy of the piston is not used. Under such conditions, there is no way.
Xu Changsheng said that it takes several years to study, but decades is really not a joke.
At this time, the rudimentary is a little rudimentary, but it can still be demonstrated.
As the fire gets hotter and hotter, the gas pressure in the pot gets higher and higher.
Suddenly, "creak".
The whole wooden cart moved a bit.
Fortunately, the ground of the square is flat and there is no friction.
Everyone was stunned. The flatbed cart moved just now?
Still wondering, the sound of "creaking" sounded again.
The flatbed truck started to move and stopped in a heavy manner.
Xu Changsheng covered his face a little, his steam engine was so crude that it was horrible.
However, everyone's faces changed. They were sure that no one or anything else was pushing the cart, and Xu Jiazi was just lighting a fire on it, but...the cart moved.
Although the car moved very strangely, and slowly, it really moved by itself.
Those who were timid couldn't help but took a few steps back.
I don't know how many people opened their mouths. This car is simply a monster, not much different from seeing a stone move by itself.
Xu Changsheng looked at a group of surprised people, "Have you seen it clearly? The car can move without manpower and animal power. After Changsheng's research is thorough, the car can move smoothly. It won't move and stop like it is now. Then even the horses can be saved.”
Everyone: "..."
They can still understand a little bit of the things Xu Jiazi created before, but now this...
Xu Changsheng smiled and said, "Let me explain to you why it moves. Everyone can see that I just came to boil water and did nothing else. This is because I used the bioenergy of briquettes The water is converted into heat energy of water, the water is heated and vaporized, the steam expands and drives the piston and the turbine, the turbine rotates to drive the conveyor belt, and the conveyor belt drives the wheels of the flatbed truck, so the wheels turn, and the car starts to move..."
The voice sounded in the square, which is now his home field, and only his voice was left in the whole square.
It's just that the people who listened had to be as dumbfounded as possible: "..."
Xu Changsheng didn't explain too much, there was too much knowledge in it, and when his education plan was put on the agenda, one day someone would understand what he was doing.
The principle of the steam engine involves energy conversion and a lot of other knowledge, even if he talks about it for a few days and nights, no one else can understand it.
Some people still looked unbelievable, and couldn't believe their eyes at all, "Xu Jiazi, did the car move because you stood on it and swayed vigorously?"
Xu Changsheng smiled, looked at the fuel under the cauldron, and jumped off the flatbed cart.
After he jumped down, everyone also saw that the car moved from time to time, moving from time to time, like a monster trying to escape.
It's a flatbed monster!
The steam engine is actually very dangerous, it is easy to explode, but there is no need to worry about this simple one, its power is not enough at all.
Safety is also the focus of future research, so the time span may be very long.
Everyone's eyes were still on the flatbed truck monster who was sneaking away.
The scene is actually very funny, all kinds of expressions are used, even the eyes that look at Xu Changsheng have something more magical.
Xu Changsheng thought to himself, it seems that it is really beyond the scope of their understanding, this will have to wait for him to slowly educate and improve everyone's awareness.
Xu Changsheng ran to Li Shimin's side, "Your Majesty, isn't it amazing?"
Li Shimin nodded, looking at the still moving flatbed, it was indeed miraculous.
Xu Changsheng smiled, "Your Majesty will give me the right to smelt iron. Look at how dilapidated this car is. I have to make it iron. When the time comes, I can paint it and don't have to worry about rusting."
Li Shimin was surprised, "Iron car?"
You know, the current carriages are all made of wood, an iron cart, he can't imagine what kind of monster it would be.
Xu Changsheng nodded, "It's not all iron carts, it's just iron sheets, it's light like that."
Li Shimin looked at Xu Changsheng, "You just want to make a self-moving iron cart, so you ask me for the right to smelt iron?"
Xu Changsheng nodded, "I do need some iron for this thing, but I don't need much, and it is impossible to form a large-scale weapon. Your Majesty can let the imperial court supervise the smelting in our Xujia Village."
He knew what Li Shimin was worried about, so he simply explained that the iron he needed actually didn't need much, it could make hundreds of weapons, and this amount had no effect on Datang.
But he needs His Majesty to trust him.
Li Shimin still shook his head, "This precedent cannot be set."
Even if less ironware is needed, it cannot eliminate the precedent of local iron smelting that the imperial court thought.
Xu Changsheng gritted his teeth, "Your Majesty, if I exchange one condition, Your Majesty will definitely agree."
Li Shimin was taken aback, "No matter what the conditions are, it's impossible."
Xu Changsheng smiled, "Your Majesty may not look at Changsheng's conditions first, and then consider whether to agree or not."
The corners of Li Shimin's mouth raised, "Oh? Let's hear it?"
He is interested, why is Xu Jiazi so sure that such a thing will agree to him.
This is not a small matter, if it gets bigger, it can even affect his Li family.
Xu Changsheng called Brother Changbai and whispered a few words.
Brother Changbai nodded and ran away.
Not long after, he came over with a box.
Xu Changsheng took the box, "Your Majesty, I will exchange the contents of this box for the right to smelt iron."
Li Shimin became more and more curious, and opened the box himself, only to see an ugly dagger lying inside.
Xu Jiazi actually wanted to exchange an ugly dagger for the right to smelt iron?If he hadn't seen Xu Jiazi's serious face, he would have thought he was teasing him.
Xu Changsheng also looked at the dagger. This dagger was actually made of a little molten iron left over from the popcorn machine last time. It's a pity that his technique is not good, and the little dagger he made was really ugly and shameful.
However, ugly is ugly, but it is made of impurity-free molten iron melted by the ultra-high temperature of coal.
It is not very accurate to say that it is an iron dagger, at least it is a semi-tempered dagger.
Ugly is ugly, but it is definitely extremely sharp, at least much sharper than the knives made by the current Datang Craft.
The surrounding guards saw a dagger and moved a little closer.
Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "It's okay."
He is the emperor on the battlefield, and he is not afraid of a dagger.
Li Shimin looked at Xu Changsheng, "What do you mean?"
Xu Changsheng smiled and did not speak, but tore a hair from his head.
The dagger is definitely not a sharp weapon for blowing hair and cutting hair, but Xu Changsheng took the ends of his hair and wiped it on the dagger, and the hair broke in two.
Li Shimin and the people around were all stunned, staring at the ugly dagger.
Datang's weapons could never do this. Just now, Xu Jiazi didn't use much force at all, and his hair broke. That is to say, it was the sharpness of the dagger that broke his hair.
This extremely ugly dagger, could it be some magic weapon?
Li Shimin simply picked up the dagger, and then took a knife from the guard next to him.
The sword equipped by the imperial guard is already one of the best swords in Datang.
He picked up the dagger directly and slashed at the knife.
Then, in everyone's eyes, they saw that the dagger cut directly into the knife and got stuck.
Almost everyone narrowed their eyes.
They probably knew how good the knives equipped by the imperial guards were, but they were cut open by an inconspicuous dagger, but the dagger was intact.
Li Shimin was also inexplicably surprised, and looked at the dagger in amazement, "I didn't expect such a humble dagger to be so sharp."
It's just that this appearance is too inconsistent with its strength.
After looking at it for a while, Li Shimin looked at Xu Changsheng, "Although the dagger is good, it can even be called a magic weapon, but it is far from enough if you want to exchange for the right to smelt iron."
Xu Changsheng smiled, and whispered in Li Shimin's ear, "Your Majesty misunderstood, it's not about exchanging this dagger for the right to smelt iron, but... using the craftsmanship of this dagger, think about it, Your Majesty, if I am a soldier of the Tang Dynasty , are equipped with weapons as sharp as this dagger, so why be afraid of others."
Li Shimin's eyes shrank suddenly, and he looked at Xu Changsheng in shock. He thought it was just a very rare dagger, but he didn't expect...
"Xu Jiazi's words are serious?"
Xu Changsheng nodded.
The people around were a little confused, what did Xu Jiazi say to His Majesty just now?Why does His Majesty have such an expression?
Li Shimin walked back and forth.
How could he not know the importance of such craftsmanship, but the right to smelt iron is equally important.
For a moment, he couldn't make up his mind.
The surrounding ministers were all stunned. They also knew what Xu Jiazi asked for, but they didn't take it seriously at all. They even regarded Xu Changsheng's idea as whimsical. Even if it was to smelt a small amount of iron, it was 100% impossible to agree. of.
But... what happened to His Majesty?
His Majesty is actually hesitating right now.
This shows that His Majesty is moved, how is this possible?
No matter what the conditions are, His Majesty cannot agree.
Li Shimin was indeed entangled. It could even be said that even if he agreed, the officials would not agree.
Xu Changsheng was also taken aback. With his semi-tempered weapon manufacturing process, Datang's military strength would increase by at least [-]%, even if it was so, His Majesty did not agree.
From this point of view, the right to smelt iron was more difficult to obtain than he had imagined.
Xu Changsheng gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, I don't need the right to smelt iron."
Li Shimin looked at Xu Changsheng, "As long as I can promise you, you can put forward conditions."
The people around were stunned. Does His Majesty know what his words mean?
Of course Li Shimin knew, but he also knew what it meant to improve their weapon technology to the level of this dagger.
For the prosperity of the country and the safety of the people, first of all, the country must be strong to deter foreigners, so that its people can be stable, and its Tang Dynasty can enter a prosperous age.
And Xu Jiazi's weapon technology can increase Tang's military strength by [-]%, so it must be in the hands of the court no matter what.
Xu Changsheng smiled, and he just said, His Majesty Li Er will never refuse this condition, and said, "I don't want the right to smelt iron, but I want the imperial court to build a smelter around our Xujia Village, and allow me to make iron in the smelter. Come out with some iron I need."
In this way, the imperial court is still the one who smelts iron, but he uses some iron, so that the imperial court will know exactly how much iron he has used and how to use it, completely preventing other people's random thoughts.
Li Shimin was taken aback, and looked at Xu Changsheng. He could directly agree to this request, and it was even so simple that he did not expect it.
The surrounding ministers were also relieved to see that Xu Changsheng didn't make any excessive demands, but building a new smelter is not a trivial matter, and someone was about to speak.
Li Shimin said, "Okay, I promise you."
The new smelting technology must be kept secret. It doesn't matter if a new smelting plant is built. It is not a problem to build it near Xujia Village.
Xu Changsheng is happy, his goal is iron, and now he can get iron without smelting himself, which is great.
The goal is accomplished, and his iron cart has taken a big step forward, indeed a big step, iron is not something ordinary people can use casually, ordinary people like them just use a kitchen knife and a hoe.
The square looked bewildered, they still didn't know what Xu Changsheng said to Li Shimin, because the new smelting technology definitely couldn't be announced in public, and it could only keep them in a daze.
They didn't even know what happened, they only knew that His Majesty was going to build a new smelter around Xujia Village, and that Xujiazi could use some iron from the smelter.
Xu Changsheng got the iron, looked around again, and said, "So, Changsheng's lecture today is over."
Only two topics, without in-depth explanation, lasted for nearly a whole day.
It wasn't until Xu Changsheng said that it was over that everyone hadn't realized it, and the day was too dreamy.
Everyone started chatting, it was all about what they had seen and heard today, and what they saw and heard this day was worth their whole life.
Wonderful day.
Everyone is talking about what they like, because they can't understand the steam engine at the end, so apart from being surprised by it, they can't explain why, but there are still many people talking about its magic.
More people talk about glasses, hot air balloons, women talk about mirrors.
In addition to these, there is also the glass that is no longer worth much. Although it is worthless, it is beautiful. Many people are already planning to buy some when the cheap glass products in Xujia Village are on the market.
There is also a pressure cooker, and many people are also planning to buy such a fairy pot to go back and look foreign.
This time, Xu Changsheng brought out a lot of good things at once, enough for them to talk for a long time.
At this time, someone asked, "Xu Jiazi, when is the next school mission?"
Xu Changsheng was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect someone to take the initiative to ask this.
Xu Changsheng smiled, "Next, I will continue to study my steam engine."
Everyone couldn't help being taken aback, this steam engine is so important to the Xu family?Not even ready to preach?
I couldn't help asking, "Xu Jiazi, don't you plan to talk about your science in the future? We are still looking forward to you making interesting things in the future."
interesting?For them, everything is really interesting.
Xu Changsheng said, "Why don't you talk about it? Changsheng will keep talking."
"That?"
Didn't you just say that you will get that steam engine in the next time?
Xu Changsheng thought for a while, and then said, "While Changsheng is researching steam engines, he will build a college in Xujia Village to teach the science of longevity and let everyone in the world know the usefulness of science."
It was also time to put his educational plans on the agenda.
His steam engine project is so awesome, these people don't have much reaction except surprise, sad, it's all because they don't understand the basics.
He thought it would not be a day or two to spread his scientific knowledge.
Now Xujia Village is considered stable. Whether it is the Xujia Supermarket, the Immortal Restaurant, or the matter of turning Xujia Village into a tourist base, as well as the soon-to-open Xujia Optical Store, they are all on the right track, and there is no need for him. worry.
Xujia Village can already rely on these unique industries to make money continuously.
Therefore, now is the best time for him to open a school and spread knowledge.
It's just that when Xu Changsheng's voice fell, the scene fell silent.
Xu Jiazi said he wanted to build a college to impart scientific knowledge
Not that kind of family private school?Is it an academy for Tang Dynasty scholars?
Do you know who the Jian Academy is?
Does it have to be Hongxue Confucianism?Otherwise, someone will come to your academy.
Xu Jiazi actually wanted to build a college, but a group of people were stunned.
Even Li Shimin was so shocked that he couldn't speak. He looked at Xu Changsheng, who was not as tall as his thigh, with a dazed expression on his face.
Xu Changsheng laughed, "Don't you think my science is useless? Is it not worth teaching others?"
Everyone was taken aback, science is useless?
No one present dared to say that. The things that Xu Jiazi presented were either brilliant, or they were all things that benefited the country and the people and improved people's livelihood. Who would dare to say that science is useless?
Xu Changsheng said again, "Since everyone does not object, then why did Changsheng set up an academy to teach science so that everyone was so surprised? If there are more people who understand science, life after the Tang Dynasty will be richer and better, isn't it better? ?”
A group of people fell silent. Xu Jiazi's situation is indeed quite special. Although he is not a great scholar of Hongxue, his science has benefited many people. If it is true that the spread of science will benefit the Tang Dynasty as Xu Jiazi said, why is there any reason to do so? Prevent him from building an academy?
What's more, as long as Xu Jiazi understands this scientific knowledge, if he doesn't build an academy to teach it, who builds it?
Xu Changsheng said, "After the academy is completed, everyone who has children in their families will send them to study in my academy."
Everyone: "..."
Jianle hasn't opened yet, but enrollment has started?
Xu Jiazi's establishment of the academy, I am afraid it will become the most bizarre thing in Datang and spread.
A group of people looked at Xu Changsheng, a little confused no matter how they looked.
Xu Changsheng also felt that the eyes of these people were too weird.
Touching his nose, he had to change the subject, otherwise the atmosphere would be so weird...
Xu Changsheng put on a face and let out a groan, "You guys quickly look up at the sky, why do you feel something is wrong?"
Everyone looked up, the red clouds in the sky came out, the sun was almost setting, and then the strange atmosphere changed immediately.
"Why is it so late? I have been listening to Xu Jiazi's lecture just now, and I didn't pay attention to the time."
"This...we can't go back to Chang'an at this time? The city gates are closed."
The corners of Li Shimin's mouth turned upwards. It was all because of Xu Jiazi's good speech that made everyone forget the time. It was not because he was procrastinating.
A group of ministers also frowned, the time passed too fast, they hadn't seen enough, and one day passed.
Someone said, "With His Majesty here, you can still open the city gates when you return to Chang'an, but today's curfew has to be cancelled."
Li Er wants to enter the city, so he doesn't care about the time.
Li Shimin frowned slightly, and then looked at Xu Changsheng.
The corners of Xu Changsheng's mouth twitched, another move?
"Oh." Xu Changsheng suddenly called out, "A mosquito flew into my eyes just now, and I can't see anything."
Always use him as a shield, Li Er is too bad.
He couldn't see anything now, so he didn't see the little look Li Er gave him.
Li Shimin looked at Xu Changsheng, the corners of his mouth turned up, and he actually played this game for him, thinking, it's okay, you rub your eyes slowly, there will always be a time to open them.
Xu Changsheng waited for a long time, why didn't Li Er speak?
Taking a sneak peek, Li Er happened to be looking at him leisurely.
Xu Changsheng: "..."
It's so shameless, he pretended not to see it, and still didn't let him go.
Fake means rubbing his eyes, "It's okay, just rub it and it will be fine."
Then he glanced at Li Er, hey, it's time for him to protect Li Er from a knife and a gun to bite someone again, woof woof.
His Majesty must award him a certificate for the best blocking card in the Tang Dynasty.
Xu Changsheng said, "Everyone's words are wrong. Your Majesty, as my Majesty of the Tang Dynasty, has always set an example. How can you take the lead in breaking the curfew rules?"
Everyone was taken aback, when did His Majesty enter the city or break the rules?
Before everyone could react, Xu Changsheng continued, "Don't worry everyone, my Xujia Village has already prepared the activities. This Shangyuan Festival, everyone should spend it in my Xujia Village. Xujia Village will bring you a A different Lantern Festival."
Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, Xujiacun was already prepared?
Xu Changsheng looked at the sky, "Now, everyone, go eat with peace of mind, the food shop in our commercial street has already been prepared."
There is a pressure cooker, which is also convenient for quick food preparation.
Only then did Li Shimin say, "That's very good."
Stop mouths that have other opinions.
Everyone was still a little worried, but also a little looking forward to the different Shangyuan Festival that Xu Changsheng was talking about.
They couldn't help discussing, "What kind of activities does the Xu family have prepared?"
"I don't know, Xu Jiazi didn't say anything, I was so curious, now I don't want to leave Xujia Village."
"Now you can't enter the city even if you go back to Chang'an, it's better to calm down and wait for the activities Xu Jiazi said."
"It's getting late. I've been here all afternoon and I'm a little hungry. Let's go eat first."
A group of people walked towards the commercial street one after another.
Xu Changsheng looked at the group of ministers who stayed to accompany Li Shimin, and said, "My lords, the hostel in our Xujia Village has also been repaired, and President Changsheng will arrange accommodation for you."
His Majesty's family should live in his and his great grandfather's house, which are close and have a lot of space.
Now take them to dinner first, the time is just in time for dinner.
……
After dinner, the light began to dim.
At this time, a gong sounded, and the people of Xujia Village began to wander among a group of people who were full of food and drink. "Everyone, we have arranged a performance in the square. Those who are interested can go and see it."
Everyone was notified, and no one was left behind.
"Performance? But "Journey to the West"?" Someone asked with bright eyes.
Journey to the West is something they never get tired of watching, and it's not bad to watch it now.
However, the members of the Xu family did say with a smile, "No, but it's not worse than Journey to the West at all. You can see it at a glance."
Everyone couldn't help being stunned, it's not a Journey to the West show?And the people in Xujia Village said it was no worse than Journey to the West?
Immediately became interested, in their minds, Journey to the West is the best, what can compare to the performance of Journey to the West?They had to go and see.
A group of people moved towards the square again.
Xu Changsheng also looked at Li Shimin and the others, "Your Majesty, my Xu Family Village has prepared a Lantern Festival Gala, how about going with Changsheng to have a look?"
Li Shimin was taken aback when he heard that, the Lantern Festival Gala?What a new thing this is.
This gala was exactly what Xu Changsheng had prepared for today.
As a tourist base, Xujia Village officially opened today. He had to come up with something to attract people, so he started preparations early, but he didn't expect that the number of people staying was beyond imagination.
It would be good to have more, to spread the characteristics of Xujia Village.
Empress Changsun smiled and said, "You are the only one who can make troubles, but what you make out of it is quite exciting."
That's not it, I didn't see so many people, and I didn't even know what the gala was, so I ran over in a hurry.
This is also the reason why Datang's entertainment is poor. Whenever something happens, I like to watch the excitement and listen to gossip.
"Please." Xu Changsheng led a group of people towards the square.
At this time, a very large platform has been set up in the square, and the lights on the platform are brightly lit, which can be seen clearly.
Under the stage, there were also neatly filled stools.
Those who came first have already sat on the stool.
Xu Changsheng directly led Li Shimin and a group of ministers to the reserved positions ahead.
The current scene is an open-air performance.
There is no way, the conditions are here, only this square can accommodate so many people.
The whole square was extremely lively.
"This is similar to the performance stage at the Xu Family's Immortal Restaurant, but the people from the Xu Family just said it wasn't a performance of Journey to the West?"
"If you don't play Journey to the West, what will you do? I still like Journey to the West."
"That's right, it's Journey to the West, we haven't seen enough of it."
A lively scene.
Xu Changsheng had no time to explain, "Your Majesty, the performance is about to start, Changsheng is rude, please excuse me for a while."
Xu Changsheng ran away because he had to go on stage.
Well, tonight he is the host.
The curtain on the stage has been pulled down, covering everything on the stage, only the lights are left.
"What is the Xu family doing?"
"I do not know."
There is still a lot of discussion.
It is conceivable that the voices will gather together when there are more people.
But that's the atmosphere.
Even Li Shimin felt the difference in the atmosphere, as if some kind of celebration was going on.
I couldn't help but smile, it's actually not bad to have fun with the people.
At this time, the curtain on the stage opened, and there were two figures standing on it, very small figures.
Everyone saw that it wasn't Xu Changsheng, but also that little guy named Brother Changbai from Xujia Village.
The two little guys didn't know what clothes they were wearing. Under the light on the stage, they were still reflecting light, so they didn't want to attract people's attention.
At this time, clear music sounded.
When the curtain opened and Xu Changsheng and the others stood on the stage, the discussions in the audience stopped.
Because they are so curious, it really doesn't look like Journey to the West.
What are Xu Jiazi and that child from the Xu family doing?
Everyone's eyes were on the stage, and it would not be an exaggeration to describe it as the crowd's attention.
At this time, Xu Jiazi took out a strange suona-like thing, put it on his lips and started talking, it was actually an artificial loudspeaker.
As soon as he opened his mouth, everyone was shocked, because... Xu Jiazi's voice was too loud, it was unbelievable.
Except for Xu Changsheng's voice, there was no sound from Yaque in the audience.
Another shocking thing is that Xu Jiazi's voice...is very strange, speaking with a very strange charm, it sounds very grand, but also very festive, I don't know how to describe it well.
I only heard Xu Jiazi's strange voice say, "Respected adults and guests,"
The Changbai brother also used the same strange tone, "Friends at the scene and all over the Tang Dynasty,"
Together, the two said, "Good evening, everyone."
Coupled with the never-before-seen rhythm coming from the instrument behind, a strong and festive atmosphere rushed over.
Xu Changsheng: "Auspicious farewell to the old year."
Brother Changbai: "Happy New Year."
Xu Changsheng: "As the new year is approaching, the Fourth Year of Zhenguan's Shangyuan Festival Gala hosted by Xujia Village is grandly held here today."
Brother Changbai: "On such a beautiful night, we would like to express our heartfelt thanks to His Majesty, officials at all levels, and friends who have always cared about and supported the development of Xujia Village! We would like to extend a warm welcome to all the guests who came to today's party."
Xu Changsheng: "I am the host Xu Changsheng."
Brother Changbai: "I am the host Xu Changbai."
Together: "The stars are shining tonight, let us gather together tonight, let us enjoy this peaceful, warm and happy time together with songs and laughter."
(Part of the content above is adapted from the speech at the Spring Festival Gala.)
Everyone in the audience was stunned, even Li Shimin opened his mouth and couldn't close it, let alone other people, his mouth was so open that he could stuff an egg, no, it was a duck egg.
What is this situation?
At the same time, I felt extremely novel, what kind of fairy performance is this?
All the attention was on the stage, and even the guards looked at the stage without blinking their eyes. This was a dereliction of duty, but, what the hell is the Xu family up to, they couldn't control their eyes at all.
Xu Changsheng glanced at the audience and knew that his Shangyuan Festival Gala was a success.
No one was distracted, they were all good audiences.
The people in the audience are even more amazed now than watching Xu Jiazi preach.
What the hell is Xu Jiazi doing here?
The exaggerated and festive voice on the stage continued.
Xu Changsheng: "Friends, the beautiful music has already played."
Brother Changbai: "The festive atmosphere is blowing over us."
Xu Changsheng: First of all, please enjoy the stage play "Legend of the New White Snake" brought by the Xujiacun Performing Troupe
The black cloth was closed, covering the scene on the stage, and only a burning figure could be vaguely seen, as if busy with something.
Even if the sound on the stage disappeared, the audience was still completely silent, and no one reacted at all.
According to the procedure, there should have been a chorus or something at the beginning, but Xu Changsheng felt that it was not shocking enough, so he simply took out the long-rehearsed "New Legend of the White Snake".
Originally, it was planned to take over the show at Immortal Restaurant after Journey to the West, so let's try it out in Xujia Village first.
"Xu Jiazi, can you show this thing?" They still had to see what it was.
Xu Changsheng nodded, "It's just a concept, so I can only show you a little bit."
Then people started to set fire to it.
This time, everyone discovered that there were a lot of briquettes under the cauldron on the wooden board.
Xu Changsheng covered the cauldron with a lid, and asked someone to move a stone to press it down, so that there was no ventilation.
Everyone couldn't understand it even more. Is this cooking on a wooden cart?
Because there is a precedent for pressure cookers, many people are thinking so.
But the pressure cooker is very delicate at first glance, much better than this big pot.
Xu Changsheng looked at the doubtful group of people and said, "Everyone knows the bicycle in our Xujia Village, right? It doesn't need horses, but is powered by people."
Many people nodded. They must have seen bicycles. Now in Chang'an, a group of people in uniform uniforms can be seen playing around. It is said that they have formed several convoys.
Xu Changsheng continued, "What Changsheng wants to say is that the car can run without people or horses."
Everyone was stunned.
Without people or horses?
Although the bicycle is magical, it is at least within their understanding.
But what does Xu Jiazi mean by this now?
Xu Changsheng continued, "What Changsheng has to do now is to show everyone how to make a car move by itself without using human or animal power."
Everyone was stunned, how could this be possible?
It's like talking about a stone, and it runs with long legs.
It is completely unreasonable and unimaginable.
"Could Xu Jiazi be bragging?"
"How could such a thing happen? Doesn't that mean that the carriages in the future will not use horses?"
Xu Changsheng smiled, "Maybe a few years, maybe decades, after Changsheng has researched this subject, horses will really be unnecessary for carriages, and everyone knows how expensive horses are, just the amount of fodder a horse eats in a year I'm afraid it's enough to feed several people..."
Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, can a carriage without horses still be called a carriage?
Xu Changsheng continued, "The car that can be driven without human and animal power is just one of its applications. If the research of Changsheng is successful, it will free up more labor and do more meaningful things."
The more people listened, the less they understood.
Xu Changsheng thought to himself, if they don't show it to them, they will never understand it.
He climbed onto the flatbed cart by himself, and fanned the stove below. In order to reduce the gravity on the cart, he asked the two young people from the Xu family who were burning the fire to get off, and he came in person.
The honeycomb has been burned through, and the firepower is very strong.
Because the pot is sealed, you can't see what's inside, not even the water vapor, but you can hear the sound of water boiling.
Everyone looked very puzzled.
At this time, suddenly, a "woo" sounded.
Only then did everyone realize that there was a chimney-like thing connected to the bottom of the pot, but it was blocked by something.
Now, the position of the chimney was suddenly opened by some force, and the thing blocking the chimney seemed to move.
I thought it was an auditory hallucination, but immediately, more voices came out.
It is actually an extremely simple piston. As long as the steam generated in the pot expands to a certain extent, the force generated will push the piston.
Outside the piston is a wheel in the style of a waterwheel, on which a simple conveyor belt is tied, and the conveyor belt is connected to the front two wheels of the flatbed.
This is a simple to outrageous energy conversion device.
Xu Changsheng kept emphasizing that this was just a concept because it was so simple.
Boilers are replaced by cauldrons.
cylinder?That's the flue.
The base, yes, is the wooden board.
The piston is a piece of stuff he found from nowhere. Now because there is no connecting rod and rocker, it can't be used. It is only used as a switch to release steam.
As for the re-condensation of cooled steam into water, there is no switch for repeated use.
A pot of water like this needs to be boiled dry after a while, and a real steam engine can use a tank of water repeatedly for a month or two.
The waterwheel-like wheel outside the piston is actually a simple and unadorned vortex machine, which is driven by steam to rotate and convert the power of steam into kinetic energy. This vortex machine does not even have a casing.
This is a turbo steam engine. Because there is no connecting rod and rocker, the most important kinetic energy of the piston is not used. Under such conditions, there is no way.
Xu Changsheng said that it takes several years to study, but decades is really not a joke.
At this time, the rudimentary is a little rudimentary, but it can still be demonstrated.
As the fire gets hotter and hotter, the gas pressure in the pot gets higher and higher.
Suddenly, "creak".
The whole wooden cart moved a bit.
Fortunately, the ground of the square is flat and there is no friction.
Everyone was stunned. The flatbed cart moved just now?
Still wondering, the sound of "creaking" sounded again.
The flatbed truck started to move and stopped in a heavy manner.
Xu Changsheng covered his face a little, his steam engine was so crude that it was horrible.
However, everyone's faces changed. They were sure that no one or anything else was pushing the cart, and Xu Jiazi was just lighting a fire on it, but...the cart moved.
Although the car moved very strangely, and slowly, it really moved by itself.
Those who were timid couldn't help but took a few steps back.
I don't know how many people opened their mouths. This car is simply a monster, not much different from seeing a stone move by itself.
Xu Changsheng looked at a group of surprised people, "Have you seen it clearly? The car can move without manpower and animal power. After Changsheng's research is thorough, the car can move smoothly. It won't move and stop like it is now. Then even the horses can be saved.”
Everyone: "..."
They can still understand a little bit of the things Xu Jiazi created before, but now this...
Xu Changsheng smiled and said, "Let me explain to you why it moves. Everyone can see that I just came to boil water and did nothing else. This is because I used the bioenergy of briquettes The water is converted into heat energy of water, the water is heated and vaporized, the steam expands and drives the piston and the turbine, the turbine rotates to drive the conveyor belt, and the conveyor belt drives the wheels of the flatbed truck, so the wheels turn, and the car starts to move..."
The voice sounded in the square, which is now his home field, and only his voice was left in the whole square.
It's just that the people who listened had to be as dumbfounded as possible: "..."
Xu Changsheng didn't explain too much, there was too much knowledge in it, and when his education plan was put on the agenda, one day someone would understand what he was doing.
The principle of the steam engine involves energy conversion and a lot of other knowledge, even if he talks about it for a few days and nights, no one else can understand it.
Some people still looked unbelievable, and couldn't believe their eyes at all, "Xu Jiazi, did the car move because you stood on it and swayed vigorously?"
Xu Changsheng smiled, looked at the fuel under the cauldron, and jumped off the flatbed cart.
After he jumped down, everyone also saw that the car moved from time to time, moving from time to time, like a monster trying to escape.
It's a flatbed monster!
The steam engine is actually very dangerous, it is easy to explode, but there is no need to worry about this simple one, its power is not enough at all.
Safety is also the focus of future research, so the time span may be very long.
Everyone's eyes were still on the flatbed truck monster who was sneaking away.
The scene is actually very funny, all kinds of expressions are used, even the eyes that look at Xu Changsheng have something more magical.
Xu Changsheng thought to himself, it seems that it is really beyond the scope of their understanding, this will have to wait for him to slowly educate and improve everyone's awareness.
Xu Changsheng ran to Li Shimin's side, "Your Majesty, isn't it amazing?"
Li Shimin nodded, looking at the still moving flatbed, it was indeed miraculous.
Xu Changsheng smiled, "Your Majesty will give me the right to smelt iron. Look at how dilapidated this car is. I have to make it iron. When the time comes, I can paint it and don't have to worry about rusting."
Li Shimin was surprised, "Iron car?"
You know, the current carriages are all made of wood, an iron cart, he can't imagine what kind of monster it would be.
Xu Changsheng nodded, "It's not all iron carts, it's just iron sheets, it's light like that."
Li Shimin looked at Xu Changsheng, "You just want to make a self-moving iron cart, so you ask me for the right to smelt iron?"
Xu Changsheng nodded, "I do need some iron for this thing, but I don't need much, and it is impossible to form a large-scale weapon. Your Majesty can let the imperial court supervise the smelting in our Xujia Village."
He knew what Li Shimin was worried about, so he simply explained that the iron he needed actually didn't need much, it could make hundreds of weapons, and this amount had no effect on Datang.
But he needs His Majesty to trust him.
Li Shimin still shook his head, "This precedent cannot be set."
Even if less ironware is needed, it cannot eliminate the precedent of local iron smelting that the imperial court thought.
Xu Changsheng gritted his teeth, "Your Majesty, if I exchange one condition, Your Majesty will definitely agree."
Li Shimin was taken aback, "No matter what the conditions are, it's impossible."
Xu Changsheng smiled, "Your Majesty may not look at Changsheng's conditions first, and then consider whether to agree or not."
The corners of Li Shimin's mouth raised, "Oh? Let's hear it?"
He is interested, why is Xu Jiazi so sure that such a thing will agree to him.
This is not a small matter, if it gets bigger, it can even affect his Li family.
Xu Changsheng called Brother Changbai and whispered a few words.
Brother Changbai nodded and ran away.
Not long after, he came over with a box.
Xu Changsheng took the box, "Your Majesty, I will exchange the contents of this box for the right to smelt iron."
Li Shimin became more and more curious, and opened the box himself, only to see an ugly dagger lying inside.
Xu Jiazi actually wanted to exchange an ugly dagger for the right to smelt iron?If he hadn't seen Xu Jiazi's serious face, he would have thought he was teasing him.
Xu Changsheng also looked at the dagger. This dagger was actually made of a little molten iron left over from the popcorn machine last time. It's a pity that his technique is not good, and the little dagger he made was really ugly and shameful.
However, ugly is ugly, but it is made of impurity-free molten iron melted by the ultra-high temperature of coal.
It is not very accurate to say that it is an iron dagger, at least it is a semi-tempered dagger.
Ugly is ugly, but it is definitely extremely sharp, at least much sharper than the knives made by the current Datang Craft.
The surrounding guards saw a dagger and moved a little closer.
Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "It's okay."
He is the emperor on the battlefield, and he is not afraid of a dagger.
Li Shimin looked at Xu Changsheng, "What do you mean?"
Xu Changsheng smiled and did not speak, but tore a hair from his head.
The dagger is definitely not a sharp weapon for blowing hair and cutting hair, but Xu Changsheng took the ends of his hair and wiped it on the dagger, and the hair broke in two.
Li Shimin and the people around were all stunned, staring at the ugly dagger.
Datang's weapons could never do this. Just now, Xu Jiazi didn't use much force at all, and his hair broke. That is to say, it was the sharpness of the dagger that broke his hair.
This extremely ugly dagger, could it be some magic weapon?
Li Shimin simply picked up the dagger, and then took a knife from the guard next to him.
The sword equipped by the imperial guard is already one of the best swords in Datang.
He picked up the dagger directly and slashed at the knife.
Then, in everyone's eyes, they saw that the dagger cut directly into the knife and got stuck.
Almost everyone narrowed their eyes.
They probably knew how good the knives equipped by the imperial guards were, but they were cut open by an inconspicuous dagger, but the dagger was intact.
Li Shimin was also inexplicably surprised, and looked at the dagger in amazement, "I didn't expect such a humble dagger to be so sharp."
It's just that this appearance is too inconsistent with its strength.
After looking at it for a while, Li Shimin looked at Xu Changsheng, "Although the dagger is good, it can even be called a magic weapon, but it is far from enough if you want to exchange for the right to smelt iron."
Xu Changsheng smiled, and whispered in Li Shimin's ear, "Your Majesty misunderstood, it's not about exchanging this dagger for the right to smelt iron, but... using the craftsmanship of this dagger, think about it, Your Majesty, if I am a soldier of the Tang Dynasty , are equipped with weapons as sharp as this dagger, so why be afraid of others."
Li Shimin's eyes shrank suddenly, and he looked at Xu Changsheng in shock. He thought it was just a very rare dagger, but he didn't expect...
"Xu Jiazi's words are serious?"
Xu Changsheng nodded.
The people around were a little confused, what did Xu Jiazi say to His Majesty just now?Why does His Majesty have such an expression?
Li Shimin walked back and forth.
How could he not know the importance of such craftsmanship, but the right to smelt iron is equally important.
For a moment, he couldn't make up his mind.
The surrounding ministers were all stunned. They also knew what Xu Jiazi asked for, but they didn't take it seriously at all. They even regarded Xu Changsheng's idea as whimsical. Even if it was to smelt a small amount of iron, it was 100% impossible to agree. of.
But... what happened to His Majesty?
His Majesty is actually hesitating right now.
This shows that His Majesty is moved, how is this possible?
No matter what the conditions are, His Majesty cannot agree.
Li Shimin was indeed entangled. It could even be said that even if he agreed, the officials would not agree.
Xu Changsheng was also taken aback. With his semi-tempered weapon manufacturing process, Datang's military strength would increase by at least [-]%, even if it was so, His Majesty did not agree.
From this point of view, the right to smelt iron was more difficult to obtain than he had imagined.
Xu Changsheng gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, I don't need the right to smelt iron."
Li Shimin looked at Xu Changsheng, "As long as I can promise you, you can put forward conditions."
The people around were stunned. Does His Majesty know what his words mean?
Of course Li Shimin knew, but he also knew what it meant to improve their weapon technology to the level of this dagger.
For the prosperity of the country and the safety of the people, first of all, the country must be strong to deter foreigners, so that its people can be stable, and its Tang Dynasty can enter a prosperous age.
And Xu Jiazi's weapon technology can increase Tang's military strength by [-]%, so it must be in the hands of the court no matter what.
Xu Changsheng smiled, and he just said, His Majesty Li Er will never refuse this condition, and said, "I don't want the right to smelt iron, but I want the imperial court to build a smelter around our Xujia Village, and allow me to make iron in the smelter. Come out with some iron I need."
In this way, the imperial court is still the one who smelts iron, but he uses some iron, so that the imperial court will know exactly how much iron he has used and how to use it, completely preventing other people's random thoughts.
Li Shimin was taken aback, and looked at Xu Changsheng. He could directly agree to this request, and it was even so simple that he did not expect it.
The surrounding ministers were also relieved to see that Xu Changsheng didn't make any excessive demands, but building a new smelter is not a trivial matter, and someone was about to speak.
Li Shimin said, "Okay, I promise you."
The new smelting technology must be kept secret. It doesn't matter if a new smelting plant is built. It is not a problem to build it near Xujia Village.
Xu Changsheng is happy, his goal is iron, and now he can get iron without smelting himself, which is great.
The goal is accomplished, and his iron cart has taken a big step forward, indeed a big step, iron is not something ordinary people can use casually, ordinary people like them just use a kitchen knife and a hoe.
The square looked bewildered, they still didn't know what Xu Changsheng said to Li Shimin, because the new smelting technology definitely couldn't be announced in public, and it could only keep them in a daze.
They didn't even know what happened, they only knew that His Majesty was going to build a new smelter around Xujia Village, and that Xujiazi could use some iron from the smelter.
Xu Changsheng got the iron, looked around again, and said, "So, Changsheng's lecture today is over."
Only two topics, without in-depth explanation, lasted for nearly a whole day.
It wasn't until Xu Changsheng said that it was over that everyone hadn't realized it, and the day was too dreamy.
Everyone started chatting, it was all about what they had seen and heard today, and what they saw and heard this day was worth their whole life.
Wonderful day.
Everyone is talking about what they like, because they can't understand the steam engine at the end, so apart from being surprised by it, they can't explain why, but there are still many people talking about its magic.
More people talk about glasses, hot air balloons, women talk about mirrors.
In addition to these, there is also the glass that is no longer worth much. Although it is worthless, it is beautiful. Many people are already planning to buy some when the cheap glass products in Xujia Village are on the market.
There is also a pressure cooker, and many people are also planning to buy such a fairy pot to go back and look foreign.
This time, Xu Changsheng brought out a lot of good things at once, enough for them to talk for a long time.
At this time, someone asked, "Xu Jiazi, when is the next school mission?"
Xu Changsheng was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect someone to take the initiative to ask this.
Xu Changsheng smiled, "Next, I will continue to study my steam engine."
Everyone couldn't help being taken aback, this steam engine is so important to the Xu family?Not even ready to preach?
I couldn't help asking, "Xu Jiazi, don't you plan to talk about your science in the future? We are still looking forward to you making interesting things in the future."
interesting?For them, everything is really interesting.
Xu Changsheng said, "Why don't you talk about it? Changsheng will keep talking."
"That?"
Didn't you just say that you will get that steam engine in the next time?
Xu Changsheng thought for a while, and then said, "While Changsheng is researching steam engines, he will build a college in Xujia Village to teach the science of longevity and let everyone in the world know the usefulness of science."
It was also time to put his educational plans on the agenda.
His steam engine project is so awesome, these people don't have much reaction except surprise, sad, it's all because they don't understand the basics.
He thought it would not be a day or two to spread his scientific knowledge.
Now Xujia Village is considered stable. Whether it is the Xujia Supermarket, the Immortal Restaurant, or the matter of turning Xujia Village into a tourist base, as well as the soon-to-open Xujia Optical Store, they are all on the right track, and there is no need for him. worry.
Xujia Village can already rely on these unique industries to make money continuously.
Therefore, now is the best time for him to open a school and spread knowledge.
It's just that when Xu Changsheng's voice fell, the scene fell silent.
Xu Jiazi said he wanted to build a college to impart scientific knowledge
Not that kind of family private school?Is it an academy for Tang Dynasty scholars?
Do you know who the Jian Academy is?
Does it have to be Hongxue Confucianism?Otherwise, someone will come to your academy.
Xu Jiazi actually wanted to build a college, but a group of people were stunned.
Even Li Shimin was so shocked that he couldn't speak. He looked at Xu Changsheng, who was not as tall as his thigh, with a dazed expression on his face.
Xu Changsheng laughed, "Don't you think my science is useless? Is it not worth teaching others?"
Everyone was taken aback, science is useless?
No one present dared to say that. The things that Xu Jiazi presented were either brilliant, or they were all things that benefited the country and the people and improved people's livelihood. Who would dare to say that science is useless?
Xu Changsheng said again, "Since everyone does not object, then why did Changsheng set up an academy to teach science so that everyone was so surprised? If there are more people who understand science, life after the Tang Dynasty will be richer and better, isn't it better? ?”
A group of people fell silent. Xu Jiazi's situation is indeed quite special. Although he is not a great scholar of Hongxue, his science has benefited many people. If it is true that the spread of science will benefit the Tang Dynasty as Xu Jiazi said, why is there any reason to do so? Prevent him from building an academy?
What's more, as long as Xu Jiazi understands this scientific knowledge, if he doesn't build an academy to teach it, who builds it?
Xu Changsheng said, "After the academy is completed, everyone who has children in their families will send them to study in my academy."
Everyone: "..."
Jianle hasn't opened yet, but enrollment has started?
Xu Jiazi's establishment of the academy, I am afraid it will become the most bizarre thing in Datang and spread.
A group of people looked at Xu Changsheng, a little confused no matter how they looked.
Xu Changsheng also felt that the eyes of these people were too weird.
Touching his nose, he had to change the subject, otherwise the atmosphere would be so weird...
Xu Changsheng put on a face and let out a groan, "You guys quickly look up at the sky, why do you feel something is wrong?"
Everyone looked up, the red clouds in the sky came out, the sun was almost setting, and then the strange atmosphere changed immediately.
"Why is it so late? I have been listening to Xu Jiazi's lecture just now, and I didn't pay attention to the time."
"This...we can't go back to Chang'an at this time? The city gates are closed."
The corners of Li Shimin's mouth turned upwards. It was all because of Xu Jiazi's good speech that made everyone forget the time. It was not because he was procrastinating.
A group of ministers also frowned, the time passed too fast, they hadn't seen enough, and one day passed.
Someone said, "With His Majesty here, you can still open the city gates when you return to Chang'an, but today's curfew has to be cancelled."
Li Er wants to enter the city, so he doesn't care about the time.
Li Shimin frowned slightly, and then looked at Xu Changsheng.
The corners of Xu Changsheng's mouth twitched, another move?
"Oh." Xu Changsheng suddenly called out, "A mosquito flew into my eyes just now, and I can't see anything."
Always use him as a shield, Li Er is too bad.
He couldn't see anything now, so he didn't see the little look Li Er gave him.
Li Shimin looked at Xu Changsheng, the corners of his mouth turned up, and he actually played this game for him, thinking, it's okay, you rub your eyes slowly, there will always be a time to open them.
Xu Changsheng waited for a long time, why didn't Li Er speak?
Taking a sneak peek, Li Er happened to be looking at him leisurely.
Xu Changsheng: "..."
It's so shameless, he pretended not to see it, and still didn't let him go.
Fake means rubbing his eyes, "It's okay, just rub it and it will be fine."
Then he glanced at Li Er, hey, it's time for him to protect Li Er from a knife and a gun to bite someone again, woof woof.
His Majesty must award him a certificate for the best blocking card in the Tang Dynasty.
Xu Changsheng said, "Everyone's words are wrong. Your Majesty, as my Majesty of the Tang Dynasty, has always set an example. How can you take the lead in breaking the curfew rules?"
Everyone was taken aback, when did His Majesty enter the city or break the rules?
Before everyone could react, Xu Changsheng continued, "Don't worry everyone, my Xujia Village has already prepared the activities. This Shangyuan Festival, everyone should spend it in my Xujia Village. Xujia Village will bring you a A different Lantern Festival."
Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, Xujiacun was already prepared?
Xu Changsheng looked at the sky, "Now, everyone, go eat with peace of mind, the food shop in our commercial street has already been prepared."
There is a pressure cooker, which is also convenient for quick food preparation.
Only then did Li Shimin say, "That's very good."
Stop mouths that have other opinions.
Everyone was still a little worried, but also a little looking forward to the different Shangyuan Festival that Xu Changsheng was talking about.
They couldn't help discussing, "What kind of activities does the Xu family have prepared?"
"I don't know, Xu Jiazi didn't say anything, I was so curious, now I don't want to leave Xujia Village."
"Now you can't enter the city even if you go back to Chang'an, it's better to calm down and wait for the activities Xu Jiazi said."
"It's getting late. I've been here all afternoon and I'm a little hungry. Let's go eat first."
A group of people walked towards the commercial street one after another.
Xu Changsheng looked at the group of ministers who stayed to accompany Li Shimin, and said, "My lords, the hostel in our Xujia Village has also been repaired, and President Changsheng will arrange accommodation for you."
His Majesty's family should live in his and his great grandfather's house, which are close and have a lot of space.
Now take them to dinner first, the time is just in time for dinner.
……
After dinner, the light began to dim.
At this time, a gong sounded, and the people of Xujia Village began to wander among a group of people who were full of food and drink. "Everyone, we have arranged a performance in the square. Those who are interested can go and see it."
Everyone was notified, and no one was left behind.
"Performance? But "Journey to the West"?" Someone asked with bright eyes.
Journey to the West is something they never get tired of watching, and it's not bad to watch it now.
However, the members of the Xu family did say with a smile, "No, but it's not worse than Journey to the West at all. You can see it at a glance."
Everyone couldn't help being stunned, it's not a Journey to the West show?And the people in Xujia Village said it was no worse than Journey to the West?
Immediately became interested, in their minds, Journey to the West is the best, what can compare to the performance of Journey to the West?They had to go and see.
A group of people moved towards the square again.
Xu Changsheng also looked at Li Shimin and the others, "Your Majesty, my Xu Family Village has prepared a Lantern Festival Gala, how about going with Changsheng to have a look?"
Li Shimin was taken aback when he heard that, the Lantern Festival Gala?What a new thing this is.
This gala was exactly what Xu Changsheng had prepared for today.
As a tourist base, Xujia Village officially opened today. He had to come up with something to attract people, so he started preparations early, but he didn't expect that the number of people staying was beyond imagination.
It would be good to have more, to spread the characteristics of Xujia Village.
Empress Changsun smiled and said, "You are the only one who can make troubles, but what you make out of it is quite exciting."
That's not it, I didn't see so many people, and I didn't even know what the gala was, so I ran over in a hurry.
This is also the reason why Datang's entertainment is poor. Whenever something happens, I like to watch the excitement and listen to gossip.
"Please." Xu Changsheng led a group of people towards the square.
At this time, a very large platform has been set up in the square, and the lights on the platform are brightly lit, which can be seen clearly.
Under the stage, there were also neatly filled stools.
Those who came first have already sat on the stool.
Xu Changsheng directly led Li Shimin and a group of ministers to the reserved positions ahead.
The current scene is an open-air performance.
There is no way, the conditions are here, only this square can accommodate so many people.
The whole square was extremely lively.
"This is similar to the performance stage at the Xu Family's Immortal Restaurant, but the people from the Xu Family just said it wasn't a performance of Journey to the West?"
"If you don't play Journey to the West, what will you do? I still like Journey to the West."
"That's right, it's Journey to the West, we haven't seen enough of it."
A lively scene.
Xu Changsheng had no time to explain, "Your Majesty, the performance is about to start, Changsheng is rude, please excuse me for a while."
Xu Changsheng ran away because he had to go on stage.
Well, tonight he is the host.
The curtain on the stage has been pulled down, covering everything on the stage, only the lights are left.
"What is the Xu family doing?"
"I do not know."
There is still a lot of discussion.
It is conceivable that the voices will gather together when there are more people.
But that's the atmosphere.
Even Li Shimin felt the difference in the atmosphere, as if some kind of celebration was going on.
I couldn't help but smile, it's actually not bad to have fun with the people.
At this time, the curtain on the stage opened, and there were two figures standing on it, very small figures.
Everyone saw that it wasn't Xu Changsheng, but also that little guy named Brother Changbai from Xujia Village.
The two little guys didn't know what clothes they were wearing. Under the light on the stage, they were still reflecting light, so they didn't want to attract people's attention.
At this time, clear music sounded.
When the curtain opened and Xu Changsheng and the others stood on the stage, the discussions in the audience stopped.
Because they are so curious, it really doesn't look like Journey to the West.
What are Xu Jiazi and that child from the Xu family doing?
Everyone's eyes were on the stage, and it would not be an exaggeration to describe it as the crowd's attention.
At this time, Xu Jiazi took out a strange suona-like thing, put it on his lips and started talking, it was actually an artificial loudspeaker.
As soon as he opened his mouth, everyone was shocked, because... Xu Jiazi's voice was too loud, it was unbelievable.
Except for Xu Changsheng's voice, there was no sound from Yaque in the audience.
Another shocking thing is that Xu Jiazi's voice...is very strange, speaking with a very strange charm, it sounds very grand, but also very festive, I don't know how to describe it well.
I only heard Xu Jiazi's strange voice say, "Respected adults and guests,"
The Changbai brother also used the same strange tone, "Friends at the scene and all over the Tang Dynasty,"
Together, the two said, "Good evening, everyone."
Coupled with the never-before-seen rhythm coming from the instrument behind, a strong and festive atmosphere rushed over.
Xu Changsheng: "Auspicious farewell to the old year."
Brother Changbai: "Happy New Year."
Xu Changsheng: "As the new year is approaching, the Fourth Year of Zhenguan's Shangyuan Festival Gala hosted by Xujia Village is grandly held here today."
Brother Changbai: "On such a beautiful night, we would like to express our heartfelt thanks to His Majesty, officials at all levels, and friends who have always cared about and supported the development of Xujia Village! We would like to extend a warm welcome to all the guests who came to today's party."
Xu Changsheng: "I am the host Xu Changsheng."
Brother Changbai: "I am the host Xu Changbai."
Together: "The stars are shining tonight, let us gather together tonight, let us enjoy this peaceful, warm and happy time together with songs and laughter."
(Part of the content above is adapted from the speech at the Spring Festival Gala.)
Everyone in the audience was stunned, even Li Shimin opened his mouth and couldn't close it, let alone other people, his mouth was so open that he could stuff an egg, no, it was a duck egg.
What is this situation?
At the same time, I felt extremely novel, what kind of fairy performance is this?
All the attention was on the stage, and even the guards looked at the stage without blinking their eyes. This was a dereliction of duty, but, what the hell is the Xu family up to, they couldn't control their eyes at all.
Xu Changsheng glanced at the audience and knew that his Shangyuan Festival Gala was a success.
No one was distracted, they were all good audiences.
The people in the audience are even more amazed now than watching Xu Jiazi preach.
What the hell is Xu Jiazi doing here?
The exaggerated and festive voice on the stage continued.
Xu Changsheng: "Friends, the beautiful music has already played."
Brother Changbai: "The festive atmosphere is blowing over us."
Xu Changsheng: First of all, please enjoy the stage play "Legend of the New White Snake" brought by the Xujiacun Performing Troupe
The black cloth was closed, covering the scene on the stage, and only a burning figure could be vaguely seen, as if busy with something.
Even if the sound on the stage disappeared, the audience was still completely silent, and no one reacted at all.
According to the procedure, there should have been a chorus or something at the beginning, but Xu Changsheng felt that it was not shocking enough, so he simply took out the long-rehearsed "New Legend of the White Snake".
Originally, it was planned to take over the show at Immortal Restaurant after Journey to the West, so let's try it out in Xujia Village first.
