Chapter 172 What is Professionalism?

The stream in the mountain falls from the cliff, forming a spectacular waterfall. The huge water wheel turns in the river water under the waterfall, and the water in the river is transported to the nearby farmland through the canal.

There is also a mill not far away, and the windmill is turning against the wind.

When a group of young disciples of the Mo family entered the land of Qin and Chu, the largest stronghold of the Mo family, everything in front of them was not as majestic and magnificent as imagined, but there was a unique tranquility in the mountains and fields.

“The scenery here is so beautiful!”

Mo Yuan pulled Li Ji and sighed at the scenery here.On the river bank in front of the water wheel, Zhao Shuang stood, and everyone came behind him and bowed their hands in salute.

"Grand Commander!"

Zhao Shuang was watching Gong Shuxiu and others repairing the water wheel, when he heard the voice behind him, he turned around.

"You are here."

A group of young Mohist disciples were about to plead for their lives, but Zhao Shuang waved his hand.

"Exactly, there is a shortage of manpower here, but there are tools over there, so dig the canal."

Dig a canal?

The group of young Mohist disciples were taken aback for a moment. They all came here admiring the reputation of the Mohist leader, and they were specially transferred here from the organ city.

Why do you have to dig a canal as soon as you come here?

But just as the young disciples of the Mohist school were dissatisfied, people who were even more dissatisfied than them came from the water wheel.

"I'm a dignified loser, the heir of the domineering mechanism art, and I came to you to help you repair the water wheel?"

Gongshuxiu walked over nagging, suddenly his eyes were fixed, why are there so many beautiful young ladies from the Mo family in front of him?

Zhao Shuang didn't have the time to pay attention to this fellow, turned around, and searched among the young disciples of the Mo family. When he saw Li Ji, the other party's heart tightened inexplicably.

"Where is Mo Yuan?"

Beside Li Ji, a pretty woman came out, with a slender figure and a delicate face.

"The disciple is here!"

"You lead a group of Mohist disciples. The men dig waterways, and the women prepare meals. Spring is about to start, and the waterways must be repaired before planting. Time is running out. There are thousands of disciples in my Mohist family and several surrounding strongholds. This year's The rations depend on this, you can’t be sloppy.”

Hearing what Zhao Shuang said, the young disciples seemed to have a sense of mission.

"Disciple obey!"

Li Ji looked a little disappointed, but she still followed Mo Yuan and the others.Gong Shuxiu came to Zhao Shuang's side and leaned on his shoulder.

"It turns out that there are so many beautiful women in our Mohist family, the commander-in-chief would have told you earlier!"

Zhao Shuang looked at Gong Shuxiu and asked.

"How about the things I gave you?"

"I'm doing business, isn't the commander at ease?"

Saying that, Gong Shuxiu led Zhao Shuang to a hut by the river bank.As soon as he entered the door, Gong Shuxiu put a large set of blueprints in front of Zhao Shuang.

"Look, Commander, I have already done everything from the purchase of corner bars, wood, iron sheets, and oil, to design drawings, and to the production process."

Saying that, Gong Shuxiu looked at Zhao Shuang with some doubts on his face.

"However, just relying on the manpower of a few nearby strongholds, even if you add the people I brought, if you want to make one hundred bed crossbows and three thousand crossbows before the public loses the enemy, there is not enough time and manpower. !"

Zhao Shuang didn't answer, looked at Gongshuchou's drawing, and asked a question.

"Can you make that kind of bow and crossbow that is useless after a dozen or twenty shots?"

Gongshuxiu opened his mouth wide and looked at Zhao Shuang.As the successor of the public loser, he has always been striving for perfection in making organs, and he has never heard such requirements.

"Commander, what do you mean by shoddy, shoddy?"

After Gong Shuxiu finished speaking, Zhao Shuang remained unchanged.Not only did he look around, but he moved closer to Zhao Shuang and spoke softly.

"Commander, as the commander of the army, don't you know that the Qin army has extremely high requirements for ordnance. Not only must the production time, craftsman's name, and production location be marked on each crossbow, but there will also be a special military arsenal. Supervise and inspect the quality. If something goes wrong, you, the military commander, will be the first to lose your head."

Then, Gong Shuxiu moved closer to Zhao Shuang, with a strange expression on his face, he hesitated to speak.

"What do you mean?"

Seeing Gong Shuxiu's appearance, Zhao Shuang asked.

"Commander, this is what you asked me to say." Gong Shuxiu looked like I was an expert, and spread to Zhao Shuang, "Commander, even if you want to hate embezzling military pay, don't use this method!"

"The bed crossbow that can be made with about [-] gold, you can report [-] gold. For the remaining [-] gold, if you manage it up and down, isn't the rest of the money your own? Why bother to recharge it?" Well, make fun of your own head."

Zhao Shuang glanced at Gong Shuxiu with a smile on his face.

"You are quite professional!"

"That is, every time the chief officer of the Qin Army comes to order ordnance from the public loser, I receive it. Let me tell you"

Gong Shuxiu talked in long and long paragraphs, quite proud of it.

Zhao Shuang interrupted him and asked.

"I've got the blueprint of the public loser, can you make it according to their mechanical style?"

Zhao Shuang asked Zhuan's question, and Gong Shuxiu became serious.

"It's not difficult if it's just a shelf, but if you want to shoot it ten or twenty times before it's useless like the commander said, you have to design it differently."

"The important thing is that there are many veterans in the Qin army. If the material of the crossbow changes, they can tell it at a glance. If you want to hide it from them, it is no less difficult to fake than the real one. Maybe this crossbow is made , It costs more than the real thing.”

"You don't have to worry about money, as long as you can finish the first batch before Lixia, that's fine."

"I'll try my best!" Gong Shuxiu walked a few steps outside the house, then turned around with a puzzled face, "But what are you doing this for?"

"I have my own opinion, you just have to do it."

Watching Gong Shuxiu walk away, Zhao Shuang sighed helplessly.

"This corrupt person, I still have to pay for it."

Changping Palace.

"Your Majesty!"

In front of Mr. Changping, a tall general bowed his hands and saluted. He was very respectful to the person in front of him.

"Fan Yuqi, I won't say anything unnecessary. Lord Chang'an leads the army to attack Zhao this time. You are by my side, so I need to help you a lot."

"The end will be the work of a dog and a horse."

Fan Yuqi raised his head and saw Mr. Changping's face, which seemed to be worried.

"My lord, what are you worried about?"

"Mr. Chang'an is young and energetic. He has just subdued Lu Buwei and others, and now he is out with a large army. If something goes wrong, I am afraid that others will take advantage of him.

"In that case, on that day in the court hall, all the ministers were talking about cutting Zhao, why didn't your lord stop Chang'an from pleading for orders?"

Mr. Changping shook his head helplessly and sighed a little.

"It's hard to manage the child when he grows up, let alone a son of a country? Lord Chang'an wants to use this opportunity to attack Zhao to establish prestige in the army. What can I do?"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely promise to keep you safe in the end."
