"My boss?!"

"Who?"

The rest of the people also raised their heads in unison.

Chen Qing changed into clean new clothes and washed them before coming here.

With a bright smile, he stood there and looked at everyone playfully.

Like an iron tower, Zhao Chong stood beside him with his hand on the hilt of his sword, silent.

Several jailers who are usually domineering and domineering followed behind obediently at this time, not daring to show their air.

"Master!"

"Master, why are you here?"

"Is the boss really you?"

"My boss is here!"

For a while, a pot exploded in the cell.

The craftsmen and apprentices in the copper and iron shop and their families all stood up, squeezed in front of them and stared at Chen Qing intently.

Some people kept rubbing their eyes, suspecting that they had misread.

"Look at what?"

"Don't you know?"

"I, Chen Qing, am back again."

Chapter 13 Building a waterwheel, self-certification

dusk.

The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled from the sky, sending the last warmth to the earth.

A group of ragged people stood outside the gate of Xianyang Prison, looking in a trance, as if dreaming.

"Come out, I'm out!"

"Boss, you really saved us!"

"My God, my life is saved!"

"Woooooo."

I don't know who took the lead, but the people present wailed loudly, and the tears rushed out two conspicuous marks on the dark face, which looked funny and ridiculous.

Chen Qing stood in front of them with his hands behind his back, and said lightly, "All right, all right, look at how useless you are."

"Didn't I say that I would never trouble you?"

"There's nothing to cry about."

Li Yi walked over with the help of a white-haired old man, and knelt on the ground with a plop.

"Thank you, my boss, for saving my life."

The rest of the people reacted quickly and knelt down in unison: "Thank you, my boss, for saving my life!"

"What are you doing?"

"Get up, everyone get up."

Chen Qing gently helped Li Yi up.

"East..."

Li Yi was so ashamed that he wished he could slam his head against the wall to death.

"Don't be shy."

"I forgot to tell you one thing."

Chen Qing's next words quickly changed everyone's expressions.

"Your lives are still not saved, His Majesty the Emperor didn't say that he would spare us!"

Before the words fell, everyone raised their heads and looked at him in shock.

Didn't the emperor say he would spare them?

Isn't that...

The timid man's legs kept shaking, and he almost couldn't stand up and sat on the ground.

"Unless you and I do something."

"It's done, everyone benefits."

"It can't be done...you are my henchmen. If you want to be killed or cut at that time, it's not up to me to decide."

Chen Qing changed the subject and said meaningfully.

"Boss, what do you want us to do?"

"The little ones must do the same!"

Li Yi was already ready to cry, but when he heard the words behind him, he immediately restrained his expression and asked anxiously.

"Yes, boss, what do you want the big guy for?"

"We will definitely do it for you!"

"Boss, please speak up! Even if I risk my life, I will repay your great kindness. I just ask you to take good care of my old lady so that she will stutter."

The craftsmen gathered around one after another and looked at Chen Qing eagerly.

"This is not a place to talk, follow me."

Chen Qing waved and walked in front.

Zhao Chong carried a piece of bamboo slips with him, and after jotting down a few key points with a charcoal brush, he commanded Iron Eagle Swordsman to guard the group of prisoners and walked towards a mansion in Xianyang City.

Ying Zheng ordered that every move, word and deed of Chen Qing must be recorded.

Zhao Chong did not dare to be sloppy at all, and faithfully carried out Qin Shihuang's orders.

-

On the east and west sides of Xianyang Palace, there are pavilions and pavilions modeled after the palaces of the Six Kingdoms.

Not only does it occupy a vast area, but it is also magnificent and extravagant.

After Yingzheng unified the world, a total of 12 nobles from the six countries were moved to the capital Xianyang.

One is to facilitate monitoring and control, so as to prevent them from taking the opportunity to make trouble in their old place and resurgence.

The second is to enrich the population of Xianyang.The world has been in war for years, and even the capital of Qin State seems to be sparsely populated, so it doesn't look prosperous at all.

Qin Shihuang arranged a magnificent mansion to house Chen Qing's subordinates.

As for who its original owner was and why it is now vacant, I'm afraid they still don't know.

"Everyone has a place to live, don't worry."

"Come with me first."

Chen Qing seemed to be able to smell a faint smell of blood in the air, but now was not the time to care about it.

"My lord, the bottom of the pot has been dusted."

A servant cautiously stepped forward to report.

"Where's the loess block?"

Chen Qing picked up a fistful of loess from the basket next to the opponent, "Not bad."

The conditions are simple and can only be adapted to local conditions.

Li Yi asked his old mother and wife to find a room to rest, while he quickly ran to Chen Qing's direction.

Not long after, craftsmen and apprentices sat down in the yard one after another.

The scene in front of me is too familiar!

This is how Chen Qing taught them in the past.

One side of the screen wall had been painted black with pot ash, and Chen Qing stood in front, as if waiting for something.

Zhao Chong led seven or eight people dressed as craftsmen, and was taken aback when he saw the scene in front of him.

"The stonemason and carpenter you asked for have been brought."

"Here we come."

Chen Qing greeted them with a smile, "Come and sit."

Both masonry and carpenter are court engineers, equivalent to modern state-owned enterprise workers.

They looked at Chen Qing in amazement, and the 'beggar' who was sitting there preparing to attend the lecture, and stood aside hesitantly.

Chen Qing turned around and quickly drew a pattern like a pictographic sun on the screen wall with loess.

"What I'm going to say next is very important, and everyone must listen attentively."

"The thing I want to build is called a waterwheel."

"It is built on the water, relying on the power of the water to drive the fan blades on the waterwheel."

"Then this force drives the rotating shaft in the center."

"What we have to do is to use this rotating force. Use it to shell grain, grind flour, make armor, and many other uses, which will be discussed later."

Zhao Chong hurriedly took out his small notebook, suppressing the horror in his heart to write down these words.

It's building armor again!

This is indeed a hardcore rebel, thinking about rebellion whenever he has the opportunity!

The craftsmen who belonged to Chen Qing's subordinates listened attentively, not wanting to miss a single word.

But the people Zhao Chong brought were different.

They didn't know what they were going to do beforehand, and they couldn't understand the strange things Chen Qing said.

"It's done, everyone can live."

"I can't do it..."

Chen Qinggong cupped his hands: "Everyone, let's be a companion on Huangquan Road."

Hu tom!

A carpenter sat down on the ground with a pale face.

what happened?

I'm just a carpenter, why would I go to Huangquan Road if I can't do it?

Chen Qing didn't care about that.

A great figure in later generations said it well, we must give full play to the subjective initiative of the masses.

He is not the kind of time traveler who has a golden finger and is so powerful that he only knows the general structure of the water mill.

If you want to complete the task assigned by Ying Zheng, you must work together.

I believe that under the threat of life, these slightly enlightened subordinates will give him a satisfactory answer.

"Boss, do you mean to add a millstone to this shaft?"

Li Yi thought for a long time, and raised his hand to ask out the doubts in his heart.

Lu Ban invented the stone mill as early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

However, because of the high cost, it is only used in government-run mills and wealthy families.

Everyone may not have used it, but more or less know its appearance and principle.

"Correct!"

"But... master, wouldn't the millstone stand upright? If you sprinkle grain in, it will be missed."
