While they were talking, the two of them had already arrived in the front hall.
Cao Yangyun pointed to the chair beside him and said, "Please wait here for a moment. Your Excellency will be here soon."
"Thank you."
After saying that, Gongshu Yan seemed to suddenly remember, looked at Cao Yangyun and said, "There is something I brought at the door of the mansion. Can Mr. Cao please ask someone to carry it in?"
"That thing is relatively expensive. Please tell your subordinates to be careful."
Although Cao Yangyun was confused as to what it was, he still nodded, turned around and left with the others.
"Okay, just wait here."
Gongshu Yan waited in front for a while and saw that Ran Fang had changed his clothes and smelled a spice that he had never smelled before.
Without thinking too much, he stood up quickly, saluted Ran Fang and said, "See the commander."
Ran Fang waved his hand casually and asked him after sitting down: "Is there anything you need to do if you come here today?"
Hearing this, Gongshu Yan looked a little excited. He didn't even bother to sit down and said, "The wind measuring instrument has been prepared. Please move over and take a look."
Ran Fang looked at him in disbelief. How long had it passed? Gongshujia had already made everything. No wonder Gongshujia was elected to the Young Mansion?
Sure enough, he has some skills.
"good."
"Where is that thing now?"
Just as Gongshu Yan was about to stand up and say that the things were at the door, he saw Cao Yangyun already coming in, followed by a group of guards pushing a wooden cart.
He quickly changed his words and said, "It's in the yard, please check."
"Oh?" Ran Fang stood up in surprise. He didn't see anything when he came in just now.
Thinking about it, he got up and saw a wooden cart parked in the yard, with something covered with cloth on top.
Gongshu Yan stepped forward and lifted up the cloth on the windmill in front of everyone's eyes.
With a "crash", a ten-foot-tall eight-sided tower appeared in front of everyone.
There is a phoenix standing on the top of the tower. This delicate and vivid phoenix has wings spread out on the right side and three tail feathers arranged vertically. Its two feet stand on a round turntable, and there is a fixed pivot passing through the chest.
Its structure is simple, its shape is beautiful, and it stands tall and tall, making people fascinated when looking at it.
Everyone was a little surprised when they looked at the tall wooden bird in front of them. They didn't understand what Ran Fang wanted this thing for?
But only Ran Fang looked at the wind measuring instrument in front of him and showed a satisfied smile.
"good."
After getting a satisfactory answer from Ran Fang, Gongshu Yan finally let go of his hanging heart.
Although they worked tirelessly to make this thing, he really didn't know how it was used.
"Sir, this one thing can measure the wind direction and tell the difference between cloudy and sunny?"
"How to use this thing?"
Ran Fang walked around the wind measuring instrument, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart that it could be done so cleverly. He was indeed the public loser.
Hearing Gongshu Yan's question, he stopped and replied: "This tower has eight sides, corresponding to the eight directions. The direction of the tower face corresponding to the head and beak of Xiangfeng is the wind direction."
"A simple formula: a north wind means rain, a south wind means drought, a strong south wind means the weather will be sunny, and a small south wind means it will rain but not much."
"This method is just a simple prediction. If you want to predict the weather more accurately, you must not only look at this thing, but also have the Yin Yang family's calculations. Both are indispensable."
Gongshu Yan nodded, probably understanding what Ran Fang meant.
However, now that he has done it, the Yin Yang family is responsible for predicting the weather.
Seeing that Ran Fang's eyes were staring at the wind measuring instrument, he felt better, especially when he thought that the Mo family had not yet made it, he felt gloating about his misfortune.
"Sir, since I can do it faster than Yi Bai, shouldn't the armillary sphere be left to the public loser?"
After speaking, he looked at Ran Fang expectantly.
But Ran Fang hesitated for a moment and did not answer his question immediately.
In Ran Fang's heart, he naturally hopes to unite the public losers and the Mohists, so that they can exert their greatest capabilities.
Therefore, he thought for a while and said: "The time has not come yet, so this matter is not urgent for the time being."
"After I catch Yi Bai making this thing, I will evaluate how well you did it."
"You can go back and wait for the news, or you can go find Heng Gaozhuo and work together to get the printing house done."
Although he didn't get a satisfactory answer, Gong Shuyan could feel that Gong Shujia had caught Ran Fang's eyes.
During this time, the news about the newspaper office was abuzz in the city, and Gongshu Yan naturally heard about it. Especially now that Heng Gaozhuo was deeply trusted by Ran Fang, it made him feel itchy.
Now Ran Fang gives him the opportunity to participate in the newspaper's affairs. This is his trust in him.
"Here!"
"It will definitely satisfy the adults."
After saying that, he left the wind detector and left alone happily.
Looking at the wind meter in front of him, Ran Fang nodded with satisfaction once again.
"Have someone ask Zou Yixiu to come over."
"Here."
…
Gongshu Yan, who left the commander's office, did not immediately go to Heng Gaozhuo to discuss the printing factory, but walked in the direction of the Mohist family.
He wanted to see what Yi Bai was comparing himself to?
When he arrived at the Mo family's courtyard, no one stopped him at the door. He found Yi Bai unimpeded.
At this time, Yi Bai was carving. The striking scars on his hands and the dark circles around his eyes showed that he had been having a hard time these days.
However, although the wind measuring instrument has been prototyped for the first time, it will take some time before it is completely ready.
Seeing someone coming, Yi Bai thought it was someone passing by, so he continued what he was doing without raising his head.
"Gongshujia has already sent this thing to the commander's house. Are you a little slow?"
Hearing this sound of wanting to be beaten, Yi Bai raised his head, with a look on his face that was indeed true.
He looked at Yi Bai in disbelief, as if he didn't quite believe what he said.
"impossible!"
"No matter how fast you are, how can you create this thing in such a short time?!"
"Did you find someone to do it?!"
Seeing his somewhat angry expression, Gong Shuyan didn't know what to say for a moment.
They always work together to make things, and there are only a few people like Yi Bai who study on their own.
He couldn't help but open his mouth in surprise, and asked aloud: "Did you do all this yourself?"
Looking at his expression, Yi Bai knew that he had won, and he wiped his face quite proudly.
He turned around and took another look at his masterpiece before proudly saying: "That's nature!"
"This is something assigned by the commander. Naturally, I have to complete it myself."
At this moment, Gongshu Yan was somewhat impressed by Yi Bai's ability and perseverance to get this thing out by himself.
"You... are also very powerful."
"It's just that my things have been delivered to the commander's residence. If you want to admit defeat now, it's okay."
"Otherwise, you will be defeated by me in the end, and you will suffer such a big crime, so why bother?"
Only then did Yi Bai face his words and said with some surprise: "Seriously?"
