Daqin: At the beginning, he revealed that he was a traverser, and Ying Zheng was paralyzed

Late at night, Xianyang Palace.

In the study room, which was always clean and tidy, muddy water was everywhere.

Zhao Chong squeezed the mud without distraction, and built a long canal on the table.

Ying Zheng stared intently at the model of the water mill, trying his best to analyze its principles and uses.

"Your Majesty, that's it."

Zhao Chong wiped his face, and accidentally got some mud on his temples.

"Quick demo and few people to watch."

Ying Zheng reluctantly handed him the model.

"promise."

Zhao Chong used two wooden planks to adjust the height according to Chen Qing's experiment during the day, and set the waterwheel firmly in the canal.

"Your Majesty, the villain is about to pour water."

"fall!"

Ying Zheng was lying on the table, staring at the small millstone with all his attention.

woohoo-

No matter how careful Zhao Chong was, the water inevitably spilled out and spread around the table, even wet Ying Zheng's trousers and shoes.

However, neither of them cared. They held their breath and focused on the model without blinking.

Under the impact of the water flow, it swayed slightly and turned smoothly again.

"Sended!"

"It really turned!"

"This thing is amazing!"

Ying Zheng was as happy as a big child, and Zhao Chong couldn't help showing a gratified smile.

Qin Shihuang, the emperor of the ages, and the leader of the Royal Secret Service Heibingtai played mud in the imperial study room in the middle of the night, it is simply a fantasy.

However, under the instigation of Chen Qing, a little butterfly, it really happened.

"Although this thing is small, its mystery is endless."

"If it is enlarged, it should be used to grind flour as Chen Qing said."

Qin Shihuang couldn't bear to leave his eyes from the small waterwheel, "Pour in some more water, I still haven't seen it clearly."

"Yes."

Fortunately, Zhao Chong was well prepared.

During the day, Chen Qing called all the craftsmen over to let them watch the operation of the model and explain the key points.

The craftsmen couldn't put it down, and fetched water several times in succession before returning to work reluctantly.

woohoo-

Ying Zheng looked at the waterwheel that was running again, his eyes sparkled.

"Zhao Chong, how big do you think it can be?"

"This...Xiaomin listened to what Chen Qing said, the real body of the waterwheel should be built five feet high. (about 11 meters in modern times)"

"Five feet, not too small."

Ying Zheng made a rough estimate, no wonder Chen Qing needed so many supplies.

"Then how much flour can it grind in a day? How many civilians can it be worth?"

"How does it compare to mules and horses?"

He wished he could see the real thing now, and was very anxious.

"Villain...Chen Qing didn't tell the villain."

"I think it should be better than mules and horses."

"Mules and horses will get tired and hungry, and the water of the Wei River is endless and tireless."

Zhao Chong was apprehensive, he didn't dare to boast for Chen Qing, and he was afraid that Emperor Shi Huang would be dissatisfied if he said less.

He cautiously calculated that 1 hydraulic mill equals the power of 3 mules.

"It makes sense."

"In the eyes of few people, a water mill is at least several times better than a mule."

Ying Zheng calculated the recent material expenditure, and thought to himself: A waterwheel must be worth at least 10 mules to be worthy of such a large consumption.

Although the Qin Dynasty did not have a statement about the ratio of input to output, as an emperor, he had his own way of calculating gains and losses.

"Everything that Chen Qing needs is owned by Fan Neiku, and he will spare no effort to supply it."

"The widow must see the waterwheel turn as soon as possible!"

"promise."

-

Time flies.

In the blink of an eye, seven days have passed.

The scale of the construction site along the Wei River has grown from about 300 people at the beginning to as many as a thousand.

There is no way, in this era of backward production tools and productivity, if you want to improve efficiency, you can only rely on manpower to stack.

Chen Qing saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart.

As a last resort, he could only use a little trick.

"stop!"

"What are you holding?"

Zhao Chong found a carpenter happily coming out of the forging shed, and couldn't help being curious.

He found a very strange phenomenon.

The masons and carpenters who had just been mobilized polished their own tools at first, but later they all went to Chen Qing's craftsmen and paid a small amount of money for help.

It doesn't matter once or twice, it happens every time, there must be something strange in it.

"grown ups."

The carpenter trembled with fright, and the things in his hands fell to the ground with a thud.

"A saw?"

Zhao Chong stepped forward to pick it up, staring at it suspiciously.

"My lord, this is a new saw made by a craftsman for the little one who used the old saw for some extra wages."

The carpenter replied honestly.

"Oh?"

"Are you that happy to have a new saw?"

Zhao Chong couldn't see any difference, so he asked directly.

"My lord, this saw is different from other saws!"

The carpenter raised his head excitedly: "As far as I can see, the iron saws in Chen's shop are three times sharper than other people's."

"three times?"

Zhao Chong couldn't help looking at the plain saw in his hand again.

Start heavy, cold.

But the various details are not much different from the saws we usually see.

Could it be that Chen Qing secretly hid some magical iron to make it so sharp?

The Qin Dynasty was in the transition period from the late bronze age to the iron age, and the iron smelting technology was not developed.

Zhao Chong has seen the weapons Chen Qing made privately, and knows that he is quite capable in this regard.

"The villain thinks..."

The carpenter hesitated for a moment, and said cautiously: "It may be related to the saw teeth. The saw teeth of Chen's shop cross to both sides."

"But... the villain can't figure out whether this is the reason."

Just as Chen Qing was walking towards this side holding a handful of crunchy and sweet jujubes, Zhao Chong handed the saw back to him and sent the carpenter away.

"Commander Zhao, come and taste the freshly picked dates."

"What were you doing just now?"

"Now is the time for employing people. If the craftsmen make a small mistake, just turn a blind eye and close one eye."

Chen Qing has always been generous to his subordinates, even foreign craftsmen.

Zhao Chong bluntly asked the doubts in his heart: "Why is your iron saw so sharp?"

"Hey."

Chen Qing said triumphantly, "I've saved Nuo Da's family business in three years, so it's okay if I don't have any means?"

Zhao Chong suddenly asked suspiciously: "Then why the statement of Chen's shop is not displayed? According to what the carpenter said, your chainsaw is three times better than other houses, and you should have been famous all over the world long ago. I couldn't have heard of it." Pass."

Chen Qing rolled his eyes.

"Yeah, you heard about it and quickly brought someone to arrest me, right?"

"I regret it now, very much."

"Gou Dao's art is broad and profound, and I showed my talents before I reached home, but you took a big advantage of me."

"Ugh……"

"Brother Zhao, if you know the historian, please tell him, don't forget that I am a time traveler."

"It's so embarrassing!"

……

Zhao Chong secretly kept it in his heart, there must be one more sentence on today's bamboo slips: Chen Qing's heart for treason is not dead, Your Majesty must beware.

Chapter 19 The Power of the Working People Is Infinite

"Li Xiang, Chen Qing has evil intentions. He plotted rebellion first, and seduced His Majesty to waste people and money. If you don't get rid of it as soon as possible, it will become a big disaster in the future!"

"I can't just sit idly by!"

Another day, after the court meeting, several royal officials approached Li Si and said with a heartbroken voice.

"Don't lie."

"Your Majesty knows everything, how could he be deceived by traitors?"

Li Si interrupted the other party with a straight face.

"Li Xiang..."

Several people were angry and anxious.

Food for the king, loyalty to the king.

The official job of the Yushi doctor is to impeach and supervise hundreds of officials, and deal with the documents submitted by officials from all over the country.

The case of Chen Qing's rebellion is solidly proved.

However, the first emperor didn't kill him, and let him run around in Xianyang city.

Now that things are getting better and better, it's no wonder they're not in a hurry.

"I heard that Chen Qing once boasted about Haikou..."

Li Si lowered his voice: "In Xianyang City, there have been rumors recently that once the waterwheel outside the city is built, it can be worth tens of millions of people. The Great Qin may abolish corvee in the future, and the people are very happy."
