Datang: I am the prince of salted fish, I impeach Li Er at the beginning

Chapter 186
"Stop making trouble, let's introduce your invention to everyone first, and then talk about other things."

When a little boy makes a fuss, there is no one to handle the door. When a bear gets up, he is called a lawless person.
Seeing that Yang Shitou was frantically testing on the verge of being beaten.

Li Zhi couldn't stand it anymore, and stood up to stop the farce.

As soon as he spoke, the boy didn't dare to continue messing around, so he restrained his mind and began to explain.

"This thing I created is to save effort, that is, it can lift very heavy things with less effort."

"Everyone has also seen that Uncle Wang is as strong as a bear. It is impossible for me to lift him up with ordinary methods."

"But now you see, Uncle Wang is just like a little piggy, being dragged into the sky by me."

"This is my invention!"

Yang Shitou seemed to be fooling around earlier. Everyone was attracted by his prank and didn't think much about it.

Looking back now, the craftsmen watching the excitement were shocked when they saw Blacksmith Wang hanging in the sky.

"Wait! It seems like this is true! With how strong Yang Shitou is, how could he lift Blacksmith Wang up? I didn't think it was anything just now, but now that I think about it carefully, this is a bit outrageous!"

Judging from Blacksmith Wang's muscular body, he weighs more than 100 kilograms at least!
Coupled with the big hammer hanging from Blacksmith Wang's waist, it must be 150 catties, right?
A person weighing 150 catties was easily dragged up by a child less than 1.5 meters tall?
How can this be? !
Looking at Yang Shitou's relaxed and freehand expression, it was obvious that he didn't spend much effort.

Based on what this kid said, it seems like this is true?
Someone who did not believe in evil walked up to Yang Shitou and pulled the rope into his hand.

"Little boy of the Yang family, let go of the rope and let me try it. How can I not believe this is so outrageous?"

"Then you have to hurry up, Uncle Wang's life is in your hands, you can't let Uncle Wang get hurt!" Yang Shitou said triumphantly, and let go of his hand.

The man who came to test thought that after he let go, he would bear a huge pulling force.

But what he didn't expect was that the force brought by the rope was light.

Although it wasn't enough to pull it with two fingers, the force was much less than he expected.

"What's going on here?"

The man let go of the rope with his right hand, looked at it suspiciously, and scratched the back of his head.

Blacksmith Wang, who was hanging in the sky, was shocked and frightened. He had been blowing cold air for a long time.

At this time, seeing the movement of this person holding the rope with one hand, Blacksmith Wang endured and endured, and finally couldn't bear it anymore.

"Carpenter Li, can you put me down first? It's not a trivial matter to fall from such a high place! I'm still young, so I don't want to die here!"

Li Carpenter, who was in deep thought, immediately reacted when he heard this.

He smiled sheepishly, paid attention to the extent of the loosening of the rope, and put Blacksmith Wang back on the ground.

As soon as Blacksmith Wang hit the ground, he rushed towards Yang Shitou.

"You naughty kid, if you dare to play tricks on your Uncle Wang, let me see where you can run today!"

Well, this is because Yang Shitou got mad.

Yang Shitou finally got the hammer he asked for. He was grabbed by Blacksmith Wang and got a complete childhood.

When he came to Li Zhi again, clutching his buttocks, Li Zhi asked him with a smile: "Tell me, tell everyone about your invention, how did you find that using this thing can save energy? "

Yang Shitou covered his butt with one hand, and scratched the back of his head with the other.

Looking at those eyes full of curiosity, he said embarrassingly: "That day, when the officials who will be in charge of the prison brought the shaping machine over, I wondered why the rope of the shaping machine was lifted by several wheels. ?”

"At that time, I asked those officials, and they said that they didn't know it, and it was designed like this in the drawings."

"Then I got curious, so I made a smaller one and tried it. I felt like it could save energy."

"Thinking of those officials saying that the imperial court now encourages everyone to innovate and will reward people with good innovations, then I made a big treasure."

"You have also seen it yourself, this thing can indeed save a lot of effort, is this a kind of invention?"

When Yang Shitou's words came out, the craftsmen present couldn't help but look at each other in blank dismay.

Strictly speaking, he only reproduced a small part of the functions of the shaping machine. In fact, it cannot be called an innovation.

But the standard thing is actually floating.

To be reasonable, this thing really cannot be regarded as an invention.

But what if it doesn't make sense?

All eyes were on Li Zhi, waiting for the prince to give the final definition.

Looking at their eyes, Li Zhi smiled slightly, nodded slightly and said: "This is an invention!"

Then, he announced loudly: "This king announces that the things you showed are qualified. On behalf of the imperial court, this king will reward you with 200 taels of silver!"

This thing, or to use a more accurate name - pulley block.

The pulley block was literally taken from a paper machine.

But Li Zhike never said that the paper machine was also among the inventions.

In other words, from a jurisprudential point of view, the appearance of the pulley block can indeed be regarded as an invention!
Since we can find an angle to reward Yang Shitou, why not do it?

His purpose has always been to set off a wave of innovation in Chang'an City. Whether this thing meets the standards or not is not important at all.

The important thing is to give the craftsmen enough confidence!

Let them understand that even if they are disassembled from a paper machine, they can still get rewards!
The important thing is whether you can blow this wind, not a definite result.

Therefore, Yang Shitou is lucky.

If he shows the right thing at the right time, he will be rewarded by the court.

The reason is not because of how smart Yang Shitou is or how great he has created.

Just because Li Zhi needs Yang Shitou, that's all.

This is luck, a trend brought about by the general trend of the times!
Yang Shitou is the first lucky one in this trend, but he will never be the last.

The technology used in the paper machine is far more than the general public thinks.

Even just dismantling the paper machine can give birth to a large number of lucky ones.

And when this trend is completely blown, it will be the real competition!
"Your name is Yang Shitou, right? Go and call your family over." Li Zhi smiled and said, "I will send someone to give the reward to your family. This is the reward you deserve!"

"Ah?" Yang Shitou said unwillingly, "Can't you give me the reward directly?"
