The status of the Tang Royal Military Academy is steadily rising.

Although Cheng Yanjin only served as the head of a logistics department there, he basically went over every day to take care of official business.

Today, of course, is no exception.

Niu Jinda got the flint back, he naturally knew it.

Although he pinched his nose and agreed to purchase 2,000 new flints at a high price, he was actually not very happy in his heart.

Weishui Academy was jointly launched by the eldest grandson family and the Zheng family to fight with Guanshishan Academy, and many nobles knew about this matter.

Although the son-in-law is not worth much in this era, Cheng Jingwen's status in Cheng Biting Jin's heart is not ordinary, and the relationship between the Cheng family and the Chu Wangfu is even more extraordinary.

To some extent, the two sides are resting together.

In Chang'an City, the relationship between the eldest grandson's family and the Chu Wangfu is the worst.

Although today's eldest grandson family is just a flint that has nothing to do with the overall situation, this has another meaning.

That is, in the past, only Guanshishan Academy paid attention to Gewuxue, and other academies have really paid attention to it.

"Smack!"

Cheng Yanjin pressed the mechanism on the lighter, and a string of flames immediately appeared.

The guards of the Chu Palace's mansion are not stupid, and the princess of his own princess Aya stopped the team and asked for a lighter, who would dare not give it?

So Cheng Yanjin got a sample without much effort.

"Smack!"

"Smack!"

Cheng Yanjin kept repeating and tried several times, and each time he lit it smoothly.

"With such a heavy snowfall, the lighters in the hands of these guards have not been extinguished, it seems that Kuan'er arranged for someone to make a special design for the requirements of the military academy."

Don't look at Cheng Yanjin's big haha, if you really think that he is a reckless martial artist, then you are very wrong.

Just like the scientific banner raised by Guanshishan Academy, Cheng Yanjin has studied more deeply than many nobles.

What can bring benefits to himself, what can bring benefits to the people, what can bring benefits to Datang, Cheng Yanjin naturally has a scale in his heart.

……

"Yuwen Teaching, come, I'll toast you!"

In the eldest grandson's mansion, the eldest grandson Chong and Yu Wenshan sat in the living room, watching the performance of the singer and drinking a little wine.

Although Yu Wenshan is a bit like a craftsman, his background is not bad.

Otherwise, even if he came up with a new flint, Changsun Chong would not have invited him to the mansion for a banquet.

"Thank you, Dalang!"

"This time, Weishui Academy was able to win the bounty of the Tang Royal Military Academy, all thanks to your efforts. Tomorrow, there will be a newspaper to start reporting on this matter, and we want everyone to know that it is not only Guanshishan Academy that understands Gewuxue. ”

Changsun Chong has also become a lot more pragmatic now, and he is no longer the son-in-law who can only talk about it.

In recent years, the wealth of many noble families in Chang'an City has increased a lot, and the eldest grandson's family is relatively unsuccessful among them.

After learning from the pain, the Gewu College of Weishui Academy was strengthened, and the status of the craftsmen in the various workshops under the family was also improved a lot.

"Da Lang praised it falsely! We still have a long way to go to build the Gewu College of Weishui Academy into the scale of Guanshishan Academy. However, I don't think we have to follow everything behind Guanshishan Academy, then we will never be able to surpass them. This time, through studying the slag of the ironmaking workshop, I found that there are actually many ways of metal smelting that we have not mastered. I plan to set up a metal research institute in the academy to study the smelting and processing of various metals. ”

Yu Wenshan originally thought that he was the most powerful master craftsman in Datang.

However, over the years, he has been repeatedly hit by the new gadgets launched by the Chu Wangfu, and now he has finally found his own research direction. Book Bar

"As long as Yuwen thinks it is appropriate, I will support it. Come, have another drink, and hope that Yuwen will lead the Metal Research Institute to achieve satisfactory results as soon as possible! ”

Eldest Sun Chong showed an elegant smile and raised his wine glass.

His mood is really good now.

"Da Lang, Yuwen Teaching, something happened!"

Before Changsun Chong's glass of wine was completely drunk, Changsun Ming walked in from outside with a gloomy face.

"What's wrong?"

Eldest Sun Chong had a displeased expression on his face.

Just now, when he was on the rise, the eldest grandson Ming came to say this, it was like when he was communicating with his concubine in simple terms, and someone suddenly broke in.

What a disappointment.

"The Chu Wangfu has launched a thing called a lighter, whether it is strong wind or heavy snow, it is said that it can be lit even when it rains, and now half of the people in Chang'an City know about it."

Changsun Ming didn't care if Changsun Chong was happy or not.

"Lighters?"

Yu Wenshan asked with a frown on the side.

I know every word.

But put it together, it's a little unsure what it means.

However, as the name suggests, this is certainly a new type of ignition appliance.

Could it be that this lighter is also going to the reward of the Tang Royal Military Academy?

"That's right! This lighter is said to have been made by the disciples of His Royal Highness the King of Chu, and today there is a team of guards in the Chu King's Mansion holding lighters to patrol the streets of Suzaku Street, attracting the attention of many people. If it weren't for the Chang'an County Police Department helping to maintain order, it is estimated that many people would have rushed to watch the lighters carefully. ”

Changsun Ming didn't dare to hide anything, and told all the news he had learned.

"This lighter, really not afraid of wind and rain?"

Eldest Sun Chong asked with a gloomy face.

"Whether you are afraid of wind and rain, my subordinates don't know yet; But if it's windy and snowy, it's really not afraid. ”

After Changsun Ming said this, the hall fell into a brief silence.

No contrast, no harm!

The flint of Weishui Academy is a huge step forward, there is no doubt about it.

However, in front of the lighter made by the Chu Palace, it seems a little insufficient.

Obviously, the sparks from the impact of the flint and the flames from the lighters are certainly not on the same level in terms of the speed at which things are burned.

"Eldest Sun Ming, where are the people patrolling the streets of the Chu Wangfu now? Take me over and have a look. ”

Yu Wenshan felt that no matter what, he had to take a look at this lighter with his own eyes.

Otherwise, I will always be unwilling in my heart.

Changsun Ming: "It should be almost to Anyimen by now, but I heard that this lighter can be bought in the treasure pavilion in a few days, if we want a sample, it is estimated that it will take a few days." ”

"I can't wait a few days, I want it now!"

After Yu Wenshan finished speaking, he said hello to the eldest grandson Chong, and walked directly to the door.

Whether the lighter is good or not is related to the meaning of the existence of the new flint.
