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

"how can that be!"

"Foolish men and women, they are delusional!"

"How could Your Majesty believe in Chen Qing's deceitful words! No, I am going to enter the palace now, please Your Majesty behead this dog. If Chen Qing doesn't get rid of it, I will...resign from office!"

"Yes, if Chen Qing is not removed, I will resign and dismiss!"

The censors were so excited that they wished they could rush out of the city immediately and punch Chen Qing with old fists.

"Everyone, don't be impatient."

Li Si then said slowly: "As far as I know, the waterwheel is at most equivalent to ten mules and horses. But how much labor and material resources has Chen Qing consumed so far?"

"If it really repairs the waterwheel to the point where it is worth tens of millions of people, I'm afraid it won't be enough to empty out the entire Great Qin!"

The censors were even more angry.

"Li Xiang, what do you say?"

"We all listen to you."

"Otherwise... I will call the servants and get rid of him today!"

One person lowered his voice and said viciously.

"Yep!"

"I'm going to fight for the court, and His Majesty will not blame me. Even if I have to be punished, I will bear it!"

"Li Xiang, say something."

Seeing this scene, Li Si was very satisfied.

People's hearts are available!

"There is no rush on this matter."

Li Si waved his hand: "When the waterwheel is completed, that's when I'll be in trouble, when the time comes..."

Everyone nodded after hearing this, secretly thinking that the prime minister is brilliant.

After the royal officials left, Li Si smiled.

Aren't you bragging about yourself and boasting about 'great achievements'?

I'll help you add a fire, and blow the air for you.

See how you wind up when the time comes!

"Humph!"

"A traitor by your side? I think you are the biggest traitor!"

A stern look flashed in Li Si's eyes, and he waved his sleeves away.

-

By the Weihe River.

The originally ordinary rocky beach field has become a bustling place.

Thousands of craftsmen and civilian husbands were busy, and there were also many people watching the excitement around.

The triangular wooden frames more than five meters long were carried by four peasants, carefully walked around the steep rocky beach, and then placed them in the ditch that had drained the river.

The work of digging the river channel is the most arduous and at the same time the easiest.

Relying on the continuous increase of civilian husbands, it will be completed first.

The manufacture of waterwheels followed suit.

Under Chen Qing's command, the five-foot-high waterwheel was evenly divided into 16 yuan.

It is first transported to the ditch, and then the craftsmen splice and install it piece by piece to form the final product.

"Hey hoo!"

"Hey hoo!"

"Hey hoo!"

A group of sturdy peasants are like ants, lined up on the left and right sides of a huge log.

It is one of the most important parts of the water mill, the shaft.

"This is a purple shirt, something exclusive to the royal family."

"It has a straight texture, is flexible and strong, and is not easy to decay, crack and warp, can it meet your requirements?"

Standing beside Chen Qing, Zhao Chong said with some distress.

This aniseed material is worth tens of thousands of dollars, which can meet the needs of thousands of families for a year.

It only grows in the deep mountains and old forests, and it takes a lot of manpower just to cut it down and transport it to Xianyang.

Even the storage in the inner library is not too much.

"Purple shirt?"

"Sounds like a great deal."

Chen Qing showed doubts on his face.

"It grows on the cliffs of high mountains... the fruit is like red beans, which can be used as medicine."

Zhao Chongyang introduced freely.

"Yew?!"

When Chen Qing heard this, he finally knew its real name.

"Can you tell the truth first?"

Zhao Chong said with a look of dismay: "If it doesn't work, I'll replace it with other wood."

He was loyal to the first emperor, and he was really reluctant to waste it like this.

"punishment!"

"I think punishment is very punishment."

"No one present today can escape."

Yew is a proper country one!

Not to mention cutting it down, even if you cut off a branch, it is enough to be detained for a few days.

Chen Qing didn't expect that the water mill would use such precious wood.If it was in later generations, he, the person in charge, would have started at least ten years ago.

"What the hell do you mean?"

Zhao Chong looked at him inexplicably.

"You just keep an eye on it, I'll go see how the gear is getting ready."

Chen Qing waved his hand and walked towards the forging shed.

"Master."

"Come here and palm your eyes."

"The little ones are in a panic."

Two bronze gears, one large and one small, weighing hundreds of kilograms, were placed in the open space, and craftsmen were using whetstones and flat shovels to polish and repair them.

"What are you panicking about!"

"Has the tooth count passed? Is it right?"

Chen Qing looked at it for a while, then nodded silently.

At least from the appearance point of view, there is no problem.

The level of bronze wares in the Qin Dynasty was extremely high, as can be seen from the bronze swords unearthed from the Terracotta Warriors and Horses.

"The number of teeth is right, but...it doesn't turn, and we don't know if it will work."

The craftsman replied apprehensively.

"We'll see the outcome tomorrow."

"Kill a few more sheep tonight, and everyone will have a good meal."

"If things fail, it's not like I've treated everyone badly."

Chen Qing said freely.

"East..."

Someone almost sat down on the ground.

Isn't this the decapitation meal?

"Look at your worthless looks."

"You are in the Xianyang Prison, who came to rescue you?"

"With me here, put your heart back in your stomach."

Chen Qing comforted him, then turned to look at Li Yi.

"Li Yi, what are you thinking about, kid?"

"Are you going to report me again?"

The more you get close, the greater the pressure in everyone's heart.

Chen Qing's temper became much more irritable.

"I am wronged, Master, there is absolutely no villain!"

Li Yi cried excitedly: "Didn't you say that you haven't thought of how to forge copper and iron with water power? The villain just had an idea."

"Oh?"

"You said."

Chen Qing beckoned the other party to stand up.

"Boss, look at that rotating shaft."

Li Yi pointed to the yew tree worth tens of thousands of dollars, "I thought to myself, if it can really spin, if you tie a big hammer to it, wouldn't it just swing it?"

"We just need to..."

Having said this, he stopped suddenly.

"hey-hey."

An old craftsman laughed and said, "Then when you got closer, your head was smashed with a hammer."

"Hahaha!"

"Li Yi, you are really fantastic."

"If you do it like this, we will all be smashed to death in less than half a day."

Everyone roared with laughter, Li Yi blushed with embarrassment.

He knew he had a bad idea.

How strong should the hammer be when it is swung, if it is blocked by the stove, the handle of the hammer will definitely break.

But there is no stove for blacksmithing, how can the hammer be struck on the copper and iron materials?

"Boss, the little one has an idea."

A slightly thin craftsman suddenly spoke.

"Look at the slide rails used by carpenters, it is very labor-saving."

"If we add a slide rail under the stove, when the hammer swings over, we can push the stove up, hit it and then pull it back."

"If it goes back and forth like this, can't it strike iron?"

Many craftsmen have thought about it.

This plan... seems to work.
