my grandfather was qin shi huang

The Glaze Workshop was originally a farm in the eldest son's house, so inside the farmhouse was the Glaze Workshop, and outside was a large area of ​​good farmland. Backed by the Weishui River, these farmlands are easily irrigated and the land is fertile. It is one of the best lands near Xianyang.

These lands were planted with winter wheat before winter last year. At this time, it was harvest season.

Some of the farmers on the farm are busy in the fields, racing against time to harvest, while others are threshing wheat with flails in the wheat fields that have been prepared long ago.

Dozens of people stood facing each other, waving their flails. From a distance, they looked quite impressive.

This was the first time that Zhao Ying saw someone using this to thresh wheat in real life. He couldn't help but rein in the reins and stood aside to watch from a distance.

The steward who was busy in the wheat field soon spotted Zhao Ying's figure and trotted up to Zhao Ying. Mainly because of his height and body shape, he was so recognizable.

"Little Renjia, I have met His Highness the Emperor's eldest grandson..."

The steward bowed respectfully and saluted.

"May I ask what your Highness's orders are..."

Zhao Ying smiled and nodded.

"No - I just took a look..."

After saying that, he glanced at the dozens of farmers who were waving their flails vigorously, and suddenly something moved in his heart, and he said thoughtfully.

"Have you been threshing wheat like this? You only use flails. With so much wheat, when will you be able to finish threshing it..."

The person in charge was a little confused about Zhao Ying's caution. He thought that Zhao Ying disliked everyone's working too slowly, so he wiped the sweat from his forehead and hurriedly accompanied him.

"Your Highness, the villain will come back and urge them..."

When Zhao Ying heard this, he knew that the steward had misunderstood, so he didn't explain it and waved his hand with a smile.

"No, I'll just ask -"

Mainly because he was troubled by the millstone incident, and fearing that he would make another joke, he made some insinuations and found that in this era, there was indeed no concept of stone rollers, let alone a pedal-operated threshing machine.

Then don't worry.

When he returned to the house, he didn't go to his study and went straight to the small courtyard where the craftsmen of the house were.

"The villain has seen the noble..."

Seeing Zhao Ying coming, several craftsmen who were busy at work quickly put down their work and came over to pay their respects.

Zhao Ying smiled and waved to everyone.

"The carpenters and masons stayed, the others dispersed, and went to do their own work——"

After receiving Zhao Ying's instructions, everyone returned to their posts and continued to work on their own tasks. They worked in the eldest son's house. Not only was the salary high, but the food was better than other families. Everyone cherished themselves. The job in front of me.

Zhao Ying didn't talk nonsense either.

He pulled a wooden stick and simply drew a stone roller and rolling frame on the ground. When he was a child, this kind of stone rolling mill was still used in the countryside, so he was not unfamiliar with this kind of object.

"Excuse me, noble sir, what is this for..."

Several masons and carpenters looked around at Zhao Ying's paintings for a long time and asked hesitantly.

"The rolling field - used for threshing crops..."

Listening to His Highness the Emperor's Grandson's explanation, the eyes of several craftsmen couldn't help but become brighter and brighter.

"Good! This thing should be able to be used. The noble man is really amazing - the little people will build it now..."

Since there was a lot of stone mill building during this period, and there was no shortage of stone materials in the house, there was no need to look for the materials to make the stone roller at the last minute. After the stonemasons returned, they immediately called several other colleagues to work together.

The carpenters were busy building rolling frames.

By analogy, I also asked the blacksmith to help punch a few pairs of hooks and pins on both sides in advance.

Many people are powerful.

In less than half an hour, a complete stone roll appeared in front of Zhao Ying.

As expected of an experienced craftsman with farm work experience, the older carpenter even slightly adjusted the curvature of the rolling frame according to the height of the cattle.

Zhao Ying couldn't help but his eyes lit up.

"Whose idea was this..."

"Back to noble man, he is a villain——"

Upon hearing Zhao Ying's question, several carpenters couldn't help but change their expressions, and subconsciously looked at the old carpenter with a dark face and a slightly stooped waist. The old carpenter stepped forward and bowed somewhat uneasily.

"The villain thought that it might be easier for the animals to pull the animals this way. His hands were itchy and he couldn't help it, so he adjusted it casually - he made the decision without permission. Please punish me..."

Zhao Ying couldn't help laughing when he heard this.

"What a crime!"

As he said this, he glanced at the craftsmen in the yard and said with a smile.

"From now on, whenever you have any ideas, just try it out - don't worry about the materials. If you need anything, just ask the steward to buy it. If you scrap any materials, you don't have to worry about the government's punishment. If you can make a rolling stand like this If you make similar improvements, I will reward you heavily!"

Having said this, Zhao Ying withdrew his gaze, looked at the old carpenter standing in front of him, and said harmoniously.

"What's your name……"

"Back to the noble man, the villain's name is Qiu..."

The old carpenter replied politely.

"Okay, from now on, you will be the steward of the carpentry, and you will enjoy the same treatment as the steward of the house - go down later and go to the accounting office to receive another thousand yuan reward..."

"Thank you, sir..."

Zhao Ying's instructions obviously exceeded the old carpenter's expectations. He did not expect that his small adjustments would lead to such a big surprise.

Immediately overjoyed.

The other craftsmen in the yard couldn't help but have envious looks in their eyes.

With the help of several carpenters, the stone roller was quickly installed. Zhao Ying pulled the rope with one hand. It felt okay. After thinking for a while, he handed the rope to a middle-aged carpenter next to him.

"Come and try—"

With my own strength, there is no reference value in pulling this thing.

Everyone was already itching to watch and wanted to know whether the stone roller just invented by His Highness the Emperor Changsun could be used. The middle-aged carpenter heard this and hurriedly stepped forward to take the rope.

He pulled hard and almost got hit on his calf by the rolling rack behind him.

easy!

In a flat yard, it would be effortless for one person to pull it up.

It works!

"The noble man really has a wonderful idea. This stone roller is very useful. The villain thinks that there may not be a need for cattle. Even a donkey can be used to pull it. Even if there are no livestock, it can be pulled with a few young and strong laborers. It should also be able to make..."

Compared with the flail, the efficiency has been improved countless times!

"Then try..."

Zhao Ying also wanted to know how many people could pull it if there were no livestock - after all, in this era, livestock are still a scarce resource, and many farmers have no livestock available.

Even with this stone roller, many families may have to use people to pull it.

The stone roller was not too small. Zhao Ying was worried that the steps in front of his house would be crushed, and he was too lazy to let his servants waste time there. Therefore, he leaned down, clasped the stone roller's nest with one hand, and relaxed and relaxed. He picked up the stone roller.

Everyone who saw it couldn't help but marvel again.

True divine power!

He gently placed the stone roll on the ground and ordered.

"Take me along -"

If he wasn't afraid of being too exaggerated and being suspected of sensationalizing, he would even want to carry it directly like this, which would be faster.

The eldest son's mansion is not far from the imperial palace, in the center of Xianyang City. Therefore, when people saw His Royal Highness the Emperor Changsun personally leading people and pulling a round stone out of the mansion, they couldn't help but look over with curiosity.

"I dare to ask His Royal Highness the Emperor, what is this..."

At this time, it was the time for officials to leave their duties. Many officials from the imperial court were either riding horses or riding cars home. Seeing the scene in front of them, some people finally couldn't help but jump off their horses and come up to inquire.

"Stone roller - used for rolling mills..."

Seeing that the other party still looked confused, Zhao Ying added with a smile.

"This thing can thresh crops..."

When the official heard this, his eyes couldn't help but shine, and he bowed with some excitement.

"Excuse me, Your Highness, is it another farm tool like Huangsun Mo?"

Zhao Ying smiled and nodded.

"Almost, that's right - but it's not easy to borrow water power for this. You have to use animals or manpower to pull it..."

When the official heard this, he immediately became excited and led his horse to follow.

"Your Highness, are you going to test this? Can I follow you to open your eyes..."

"There's nothing you can't do—"

Zhao Ying nodded happily.

This game is originally designed to improve threshing efficiency. Naturally, the more people who know about it, the better.

Seeing that Zhao Ying was so talkative, many people gathered around him and wanted to see how this novel thing threshed crops. After all, Zhuyu comes first.

Huangsun mill, Huangsun cart, Huangsun paper... A series of farm tools are displayed there, each one is easier to use and each one is more labor-saving than the last one. When they heard that the emperor's eldest grandson had invented a new farm tool, everyone was naturally full of expectations.

The crowd gathered more and more, and in the end, many people who had come to Xianyang to participate in the imperial examination were attracted.

They all followed the team and looked curiously at the round thing on the ground.

Therefore, before people even left the city, hundreds of people gathered behind them. The huge crowd almost blocked the traffic in Xianyang City...

Moreover, the number of people is still increasing at a rate visible to the naked eye.

Later, no one actually knew what those people in front were doing. They were just curious. Especially those who were living in Xianyang and waiting to take the imperial examination were extremely curious.

It’s not easy to come to Xianyang, it’s a great experience.

Zhao Ying was also a little helpless.

He didn't expect that making a stone roll would make such a big noise. If he had known better, he would have carried it away.

The movement is a bit loud.

Even Xianyang Lieutenant, who was responsible for maintaining security in Xianyang City, was alarmed.

He hurried over with his men and horses nervously, and when he saw Zhao Ying, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, it’s the emperor’s eldest grandson!

But he didn't dare to be careless. After all, with so many people following him, if something happened, his head would probably have to be moved to another place. He could only wipe his ass behind Zhao Ying and lead others to maintain order.

At this time, Shaofu Shi Luzheng and the First Emperor were reporting on the situation of the summer grain harvest.

"...The winter wheat that Emperor Changsun mentioned is in better condition than expected. As long as the harvest can be completed smoothly, the harvest is estimated to be at least [-]% higher than before..."

Shi Lu was in a good mood.

Mainly after having the technology to purify salt, I have money in my pocket, and many troublesome tasks can be carried out naturally. Now, even the harvest of winter wheat is very gratifying, and I feel naturally very happy.

The First Emperor was also very happy.

This summer, apart from a few places in the south where floods occurred, resulting in crop failure, the growth of crops is very gratifying in most places.

"Send the order and ask officials from various places to urge farmers to speed up the harvest of summer grain and try to finish harvesting and drying before the heavy rain comes..."

Summer is rainy.

In previous years, it was not uncommon for crops to become moldy in the ground or germinate directly in wheat fields due to heavy rainfall.

Therefore, every day during the harvest season is tantamount to a tense war.

"promise--"

Shi Lu bowed and accepted the order.

After reporting his work, Shi Lu bowed his head and resigned. He walked out of the hall and looked at the sky. It should have been time for his next shift. He was hesitating whether to go to Zhi Su Nei Shi Yamen tomorrow to convey the Emperor's will when he saw one of his own. The subordinate officials came forward in a hurry.

"For your information, Your Majesty the Young Master, it is said that His Highness the Emperor's Grandson has invented a new threshing tool..."

"His Royal Highness the Emperor's Grandson has invented a new farm tool!"

Before his subordinate officer could finish speaking, Shi Lu couldn't help but get excited.

The emperor's eldest grandson's shot must be a high-quality one!

"Go, go and see—"

Immediately, he stopped going to the Su Neishi Yamen and followed his subordinate officials, rushing toward Zhao Ying's team in a hurry. Not long after Shi Lu left, the First Emperor also received news from Zhao Ying.

After all, these are extraordinary times, and Heibingtai's manpower is spread all over the city, lest something goes wrong.

Now that so many people suddenly gathered, how could they not be nervous?

Fortunately, Zhao Ying was here, otherwise the city defense army and Xianyang Lieutenant would have to take action directly.

"This brat - he keeps messing around when he comes back and doesn't know how to stop for a moment..."

The First Emperor couldn't help but laugh and curse.

"Your Majesty, I don't know how much I ask for this kind of torment, but I don't know how much I can ask for it - if the few unsatisfactory brats in my family can be as tossing as your Highness, I can laugh out of my dreams..."

Seeing that the First Emperor was in a good mood, Hei couldn't help but join in the fun.

The First Emperor couldn't help laughing.

"Old man, you don't need to beat around the bush to say good things to that brat - this brat doesn't know how to share my worries, but he just knows how to mess around every day. This is just not doing his job properly..."

Although he said this, his face was already full of smiles that could not be concealed.

"Let's go and see it with me - forget it..."

The First Emperor thought for a while, stopped again, and turned to give orders to the underworld.

"Go and let people take a look. Come back and tell me if you have any news. I want to see what new thing this brat has come up with..."

Nowadays, Xianyang City is no different than before. There are too many people in Xianyang City, and the impact of going out at will is too great.

He doesn't mind going on patrol incognito, but the problem is that he can't even hide it!

The tall man, nearly two meters tall, stood out from the crowd and couldn't keep a low profile even if he wanted to. Therefore, although he wanted to see it in person, the First Emperor forcibly gave up the idea.

Shi Lu didn't have this kind of pressure. He followed his subordinates and hurriedly caught up with Zhao Ying and others. Zhao Ying and others had almost reached the city gate. Behind him, Wu Yangyang followed three or four hundred people...

Even the elite men of Great Qin stationed at the city were shocked!
