Things are not what they thought!

The point is that Fusu clarified the facts, but he actually spoke good words for Chen Qing!

Especially the phrase 'Jingtianweidi', it sounds particularly harsh.

"His Royal Highness."

"You just returned to Xianyang, so I'm afraid you don't know the waterwheel yet."

"I'm afraid it's inappropriate to talk nonsense about it."

Li Si contradicted each other.

Fu Su was stunned for a moment, and saluted humbly: "What Li Xiang taught is true."

Ying Zheng said loudly: "The waterwheel is close in front of you, you can know it once you try it."

"Zhao Chong, I heard that you ordered someone to take five thousand catties of wheat from the inner treasury?"

Zhao Chong suddenly made a smart move.

Before, he was full of confidence and felt that this matter must be absolutely sure.

Seeing the attitudes of Li Si and Doctor Yu Shi, he couldn't help but retreat.

In case the waterwheel really fails, can Li Xiang be able to get around him?

"Your Majesty, Xiaomin asked Commander Zhao to transport the food."

"As long as the waterwheel turns, it goes round and round and never stops."

"If the food can't keep up, wouldn't it be a waste of water and energy."

Chen Qing strode forward, taking the responsibility on himself.

"It's you?!"

Fusu pointed at him in astonishment, with his mouth open enough to fit a duck egg in.

"you are not……"

"Selling Roujiamo is just a hobby. In fact, my real identity is a time traveler."

Chen Qing replied with a smile.

"Traveler?"

Fusu suddenly remembered something.

Meng Tian received a letter from his brother Meng Yi, who once said that Emperor Shi Huang's canonization of the crown prince might have something to do with a strange man who claimed to be a time traveler.

"Chen Qing, has the waterwheel been built?"

Ying Zheng stared at him solemnly.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, no."

Chen Qing answered honestly.

Li Si and the others immediately beamed with joy.

He impatiently reported: "Your Majesty...my minister..."

"Today it can only be regarded as a semi-finished product, maybe not even a semi-finished product."

"But it can be used to make do, but it takes more effort."

Li Si wanted to speak several times, but was suppressed by Chen Qing's loud voice.

He was angry and anxious for a moment, and his face flushed red.

"Oh, you mean it's ready to use?"

Ying Zheng grasped the point from his words.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Chen Qing answered readily.

"Let's go, show it to the widows."

Without saying a word, Ying Zheng walked straight towards the messy water mill.

Li Si and Doctor Yu Shi stared at Chen Qing as if they were about to kill someone.

"Ha ha."

Chen Qing smiled.

There are so many people who want to kill me, who are you?

Fusu looked at him with complicated eyes, not only a little complaint, but also curiosity and exploration.

"See Your Majesty."

The iron eagle swordsman, the craftsmen, and the peasants each saluted.

"Hey, it really turned around."

"It's exactly the same as that model."

Ying Zheng pointed to the spinning stone mill and said excitedly.

"Is this where the grain is poured in?"

he asked, pointing to the funnel hanging above.

Zhao Chong quickly replied: "Yes, this thing is not much different from the stone mills you see in ordinary times, except that it is pulled by human power and mules and horses instead of water power."

Qin Shihuang waved his hand: "Tim Mai!"

"The widow will watch it grind out wheat flour."

Zhao Chong accepted the order respectfully, turned around and wanted to leave.

"Commander Zhao, the water mill is extremely efficient."

"I'm afraid three or two people are not enough."

"Why don't you let people line up and move the food from the car one by one."

Chen Qing spoke suddenly, with a hint of complacency.

Fusu turned his head in surprise: "It is really so fast? Isn't it more than ten times stronger than human and animal power?"

"It should be about the same."

Chen Qing nodded modestly.

Li Si couldn't bear it anymore, he stood up and said in a stern tone: "Chen Qing, under the eyes of everyone, do you know what crime it is to deceive the king?"

Chen Qing spread his hands, "But it is so fast. I can't go up and drag it, let it turn slower."

His sloppy attitude and light tone made the peasants and craftsmen kneeling around him unable to help laughing.

The sound of scoffing reached Li Si's ears, which immediately made him fly into a rage.

"Li Xiang, don't say too much."

"The widow believes that Chen Qing will definitely give the widow an explanation."

"If not, the widow will give him an explanation."

Ying Zheng gave Chen Qing a meaningful look, then turned his head away: "What are you waiting for, bring the food!"

Chapter 25 Ying Zheng Was Surprised

"You line up and move the wheat from the car over."

Zhao Chong turned his head and ordered seriously.

He stared into his subordinate's eyes, and mouthed: "Slow down."

Chen Qing is not afraid of death, how could Zhao Chong's family of more than 300 people not be afraid of being implicated by the other party.

Iron Eagle Swordsman froze for a moment, then nodded slightly calmly.

He turned his head and turned his back to Yingzheng and the ministers of the court, and also mouthed the message to the next person.

Zhao Chong breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at Chen Qing with complicated eyes.

I really admire you, can I make a detour when I see you in the future?

wow——

The first sack of wheat is poured into the hopper.

Yingzheng, Fusu, and the court ministers all stared intently at the slowly turning stone mill.

"Ok?"

From the corner of Chen Qing's eyes, he suddenly noticed that when everyone turned their heads, Iron Eagle Swordsman's speed slowed down a lot.

"Tsk, this guy has a lot of eyes."

He knew immediately that it was Zhao Chong who did it, and couldn't help laughing.

"Father, come forward."

"I see!"

"I'm afraid this stone mill weighs five or six thousand catties, no wonder the wheat flour it grinds is so fine."

Fusu said excitedly.

"Fall, don't stop."

Chen Qing shouted at Iron Eagle Swordsman standing on the ladder.

Zhao Chong glared at him angrily: "Fall!"

The grains of wheat poured down again.

These two bags add up to more than 100 catties.

Ying Zheng watched helplessly as more and more flour piled up on the mill, gradually forming a 'wall' around the stone mill.

"Give way, the flour should be put away in time."

"Li Yi, come and help."

Chen Qing greeted, and several craftsmen from the copper and iron shop trotted over.

The emperor was standing at a distance of less than ten feet from them. They buried their heads deeply, and their hands kept shaking no matter what they did.

When Li Yi shoveled the flour, he spilled a little on the ground, and was so frightened that he almost collapsed.

Before they finished packing, the third bag of wheat was poured into the funnel again.

Ying Zheng raised his head abruptly: "How much did you wear?"

"Go back to Your Majesty."

Zhao Chong replied carefully: "There are two bags in total, about two hundred catties."

"How many?!"

Ying Zheng's voice was raised a lot.

"A bag of wheat is about a hundred catties."

"Two bags of wheat total two hundred catties."

Even Zhao Chong himself was shocked by this number.

Chen Qing suddenly slapped his head: "I said, why is it wrong!"

The "jin" in the Qin Dynasty was approximately equal to 250 grams in later generations, that is, half a catty.

After he became the owner of the copper and iron shop, the first thing he did was to ask the craftsmen to calculate according to his "market catty".

Over time, everyone gradually changed their habits.

Of course, this kind of thing must not be announced.

It wasn't long before Qin Shihuang unified the weights and measures. If Chen Qing changed it for him, it would be another death penalty.
