my grandfather was qin shi huang

Chapter 21 There is a stone mill in Daqin...

Because this era is really a bit harsh for these servants. If the maid makes the master dissatisfied, Zhao Ying will not need to say anything, but the steward of the family will send the maid away who can't even serve the little master well.

It's not that they killed people, because the laws of the Qin Dynasty did not allow the killing of "concubines" at will, but being kicked out by their masters or sold was already a huge disaster for them.

"It's okay, let's go!"

Yes, you have to finish the food you ordered, even if you shed tears.

He really didn't know that Da Qin's wheat rice method was like this.

Just think of it as experiencing the daily life of the people at the bottom of Da Qin.

He picked up the basin and took a big sip for himself.

Ah, this-

It's really hard to swallow. It's rough, tasteless, and a bit throaty.

Sure enough, coarse grains!

Mom no longer has to worry about my lack of vitamins...

However, Zhao Ying still overestimated his tolerance. On the fourth day of time travel, Zhao Ying failed to carry out his disc operation for the first time in history. In the end, the wheat rice was left. However, there is no need to worry about it being wasted. There are livestock at home, so you can save the money.

In fact, except for the poor people, wealthy people all feed wheat to their livestock.

This thing doesn't peel or grind into flour, and it tastes really bad.

No wonder they don’t eat them!

When he thought of the soft and sweet steamed buns, golden and crispy sesame cakes, various types of noodles, and all kinds of delicacies made with wheat flour in later generations, Zhao Ying felt that he couldn't wait a moment longer.

So, after breakfast, Zhao Ying went to the study to think about wheat flour.

Given Da Qin's current material conditions, the most reliable one is of course the stone mill.

A man found a piece of cloth and drew pictures there. He recalled the appearance of the stone mill he saw when he visited a local museum in his previous life, and tried to restore it.

It's a pity that he didn't major in mechanics or design in his previous life. Even when faced with such a simple device, he only knew a rough idea. As an ordinary person, you can expect to memorize the drawings of this thing after visiting a museum. ?

Fortunately, the shape of the stone mill is simple and its structure is not complicated. He quickly drew the general drawing.

In order to avoid mistakes, the dimensions between the vertical shaft and the empty sleeve of the stone grinder are also specially marked.

As for, what size——

The devil knows!

No matter what, leave professional matters to professionals.

With this rough structural diagram, I think they should be able to figure it out quickly, right?

Thinking of this, he happily called the blacksmith and stonemason in the house.

In this era, it was still a small-scale peasant economy, and everyone was accustomed to being self-sufficient. Many noble families had some craftsmen to serve themselves, trying to form a rough closed loop for their families, and the Fusu Mansion was no exception.

After a while, two craftsmen, about 50 to [-] years old, came in front of them. No introduction was needed, and their identities could be known at a glance.

The one with a red face, thick arms, dark hands, and the sleeves and hem with burn marks from sparks is a blacksmith, and the one with white lime all over his body, beard and eyebrows is a stonemason.

"The villain meets the noble..."

The two craftsmen stopped at a distance and bowed to Zhao Ying.

Zhao Ying waved to them.

"Come here and take a look at this. You may be able to build it..."

The two people moved forward, stepped forward, and carefully took the drawings over.

Zhao Ying was already prepared that they would not understand, so he looked at them with a kind face and waited to answer their questions. Unexpectedly, these two honest-looking craftsmen just glanced at each other, and then looked at each other in surprise, and then the stonemason with lime foam on his face tentatively spoke.

"Is this the stone mill you painted?"

Zhao Ying:! ! ! ! ! !

The eyeballs almost popped out.

"Do you know about stone grinding?!"

The older mason heard this and smiled honestly.

"The noble man is joking. Although the stone mill you painted is slightly different from the stone mill passed down from the State of Lu. It looks a little more refined, but it is similar. It should be a stone mill. I have been a stonemason all my life. I am sure It’s impossible to admit my mistake…”

Zhao Ying: ...

Fortunately, I didn't show it off like a treasure, otherwise I would have made others laugh.

He waved his hand awkwardly.

"Okay, it would be better if you knew it. Go get to work and get it out as soon as possible..."

"Don't worry, noble sir. This is simple. We have it ready-made at home. We will go back and make some modifications according to your requirements. It will be done in a while..."

"Ahem, that's very good, go ahead, go ahead..."

The stonemason and blacksmith who were called over felt relieved when they saw that Zhao Ying just wanted a stone mill, and went back to prepare it.

As for why noble people want stone mills.

Is this something that servants like them should be concerned about?

Even if a noble man wants a golden dung fork, he must have it made to the letter.

"Put the stone mill and eat the wheat grains..."

Zhao Ying was a little confused.

However, in order to save face, he decided to bring out the hydraulic mill.

Previously, he was worried that if he directly created the hydraulic continuous grinding machine, it would be too advanced and too abrupt. Looking at it now, he was simply worried. People in the Qin Dynasty had stone mills a long time ago, so on this basis, as the eldest grandson of the emperor, I had an idea and made some small improvements. Wouldn't it be very reasonable!

No more talking, let’s make arrangements!

Draw the drawing again. With the experience of drawing the drawing just now, the drawing is much smoother this time.

After all, this is not a too complicated tool. It just adds a large water wheel to the normal stone mill, using the power of the water flow to drive the stone mill.

Of course, it sounds simple, but when it comes to painting, it can only be roughly drawn.

However, with the previous stone grinding, he had nothing to worry about. He just provided the craftsmen with a possible idea and general direction, and left the rest of the details to them.

In fact, this kind of hydraulic continuous mill first appeared in the Jin Dynasty and was created by Du Zu of the Jin Dynasty. It consists of a large bedroom water wheel, three sets of gears, and nine stone mills. A water wheel can drive three sets of gears, and each set of gears can link three stone mills, for a total of nine stone mills.

Labor-saving and efficient, it was considered the most important grain processing tool in the entire feudal era. It was not until the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China that it was gradually replaced by modern machinery.

But with the stone grinding as the foundation, he was not in a hurry.

After finishing the painting, I checked it briefly and found that there were no obvious flaws, so I got up and went to the back garden to work hard.

Continue, push-ups, sit-ups, horizontal bars, squats, five hundred of each, and a 3000-meter sprint obstacle course.

Pick up the stone lock.

Draw a stiff bow.

Military boxing.

Noble sword.

……

A series of movements, like flowing clouds and flowing water. Although there is only one person, he is powerful and heavy. The person is tall and the horse is big, and he creates the momentum of thousands of troops.
