my grandfather was qin shi huang

Zhao Ying couldn't help laughing.

The completion of the designs for the pedal spinning wheel and the large water-powered spinning wheel made him feel very good. For this era, these two tools are undoubtedly epoch-making breakthroughs.

After paying a heavy reward to the court painter who came to help, Zhao Ying immediately happily called the craftsmen from his house.

"Assemble all the people and rush to make it immediately. I want to see the finished product as soon as possible!"

Having said this, he clicked on the pedal spinning wheel in his hand.

"Especially this one, make one first and send it over..."

Several master craftsmen looked at the drawings in their hands and gathered together to discuss in low voices for a while. Then an older craftsman came over and bowed.

"My lord, we may still be able to make the pedal spinning wheel you mentioned. This large water-powered spinning wheel is too delicate and the little people have limited skills. I'm afraid it won't be able to make it, and it will delay your important event..."

Having said this, the older craftsman suggested hesitantly.

"Perhaps only the masters from the Shaofu can do this kind of carpentry..."

Zhao Ying was startled, then smiled and nodded.

"It doesn't matter, then go and do your own business -"

Since we are looking for craftsmen from the young master's house, we simply don't need them even on the spinning wheel. After all, we can't bother the two masters. Why bother being polite to others when we have to bother others no matter what. Well, the main reason is that they are very skilled in craftsmanship, and making a pedal-operated spinning wheel will definitely be more sophisticated, right?

For the lady of the dignified Qin eldest son’s house, it’s not too much to use a VIP version of a pedal spinning wheel!

After looking at the sky, it was not too late. Zhao Ying immediately went out and went straight to the Shaofu Yamen to find Shi Lu in person.

There was no way. Although it was just a small carpentry job, the Qin Dynasty had very strict management of craftsmen. All craftsmen on staff had strict regulations on what to do and how to do it. Without official permission, no one dared to take on private work casually. , let alone leave casually.

Shi Lu was quite impressed by Zhao Ying. After all, he was the eldest son of Prince Fusu.

What's more, this guy has been running in front of the First Emperor more often recently, and the First Emperor's attitude is also very intriguing. It's hard for people not to notice him, but as one of the Nine Qings, he doesn't want to go out of his way to please him. Zhao Ying.

He was quite surprised to hear that Zhao Ying came to see him specifically.

When I found out that I was just asking for a few skilled craftsmen to build a useful spinning wheel for my grandmother, I was immediately dumbfounded.

Just blame yourself for this little thing?

But being filial to your parents is indeed a commendable good thing!

Just in time, the officials in charge of Dongzhi and Xizhi came over to report on the collection of cloth, and nodded to Zhao Ying with approval.

"The young master is indeed benevolent and filial -"

Then, with a wave of his hand, he found an official nearby and took Zhao Ying out to look for someone.

As a young man, he is very busy.

Zhao Ying didn't care about this and walked out directly with the official in his 30s who looked very capable. The official knew Zhao Ying's identity and was very polite. He pointed at the dozen or so craftsmen selected by the people, which was a bit flattering.

"If Mr. Ying needs anything, just tell the clerk..."

Zhao Ying smiled, nodded, and thanked him.

When the official saw that Zhao Ying really had nothing to say, he repeatedly accused Zhao Ying and left.

He has his own responsibilities and does not dare to leave for too long.

Zhao Ying ignored him. After he left, he called several craftsmen to his side, took out the drawings in his hands, and prepared to patiently introduce them to everyone.

It's said to be a drawing, but it's actually just an appearance and a partial structural diagram drawn from memory. Although he has acquired the ability of photographic memory and his memory of past lives has become much clearer, who is not a professional and would understand such details when visiting a museum?

Therefore, this picture is actually a simple picture, which requires craftsmen of this era. According to this thing, if you want to restore the large hydraulic spinning wheel, it will really test the skills and experience of the craftsmen.

This is also the reason why the craftsmen in Fusu Mansion dare not blindly do anything.

However, many of the improvements in the world that promote the development of productivity rarely result in organic changes, and are only a temporary kick in the door.

But this last step sometimes takes hundreds of years to take by chance.

What Zhao Ying has to do now is to advance this step a few hundred years. With his rough drawings and the top craftsmen of this era, it shouldn't be difficult to restore things, right?

"What, you said this is a spinning wheel?"

When they heard that what Zhao Ying was planning to build was a spinning wheel that could be driven by water power and drive fifty spindles at a time, the craftsmen were immediately in an uproar.

If it weren't for Zhao Ying's noble status, they would have sneered at him.

Even so, several of the most experienced craftsmen came over with doubts on their faces and stared at the drawings for a long time. Then they came over and asked about some details, as well as the purpose and use of the large hydraulic spinning wheel. Only then did they become confused. The ground came together again and began to carefully consider the possibilities of this large water-powered spinning wheel.

As for the pedal-operated spinning wheel, it was no longer in their sight, so they casually ordered a few younger craftsmen to work overtime on the side.

Now, their target is the big water-powered spinning wheel.

Several old craftsmen, the more they studied, the more they thought it was possible. At this time, an older craftsman pointed at the water wheel and transmission device of the large water-powered spinning wheel with a thoughtful expression.

"Well, in the past two days, I seem to have heard my third child talk about..."

The craftsmen around him suddenly became energetic, and even Zhao Ying couldn't help but glance at the old man, who was slightly stooped, with a look of expectation.

"Yu Cheng, you know this!"

The prime minister is the low-level official who manages these craftsmen. He is usually an old man with superb skills and high moral character among the craftsmen. Obviously, this person named Cocoon plays such a role.

Several older craftsmen immediately surrounded the old man. The old man, whom everyone called Cocoon, coughed lightly, and a smile appeared on his dark and thin face.

"You all know that our third son is working in the eldest son's house. I don't know why he found out about me going home for vacation the day before yesterday. He secretly ran home to see me and was scolded by me——"

At this point, Cocoon changed the topic.

"But fortunately, that brat is also knowledgeable. He didn't do it just to be lazy, but came back specifically to ask me about my skills. He said that the noble man in the family wanted to build a water-powered stone mill, and asked me to help him - -However, his one is different from this one. If the noble man just said it was driven by water, the old man really didn’t think of it..."

"A water-powered stone mill..."

A group of craftsmen couldn't help but look at each other, and then looked at Zhao Ying with some awe.

When Zhao Ying saw this, he couldn't help but feel happy.

Unexpectedly, I found someone to make something, and I even caught up with him to kiss his father and son.

Immediately smiled and nodded.

"Yes, that was my idea too..."

Several craftsmen hurriedly stood up and greeted Zhao Ying again. Zhao Ying smiled and waved his hand.

"No need to be too polite. You are all the best craftsmen in our Great Qin. You have made great contributions to the court and the country. You are ministers of merit. There is no need to be so polite to a junior like me -"

The voice has not fallen,

Seeing several old craftsmen moving their beards, their eyes red, almost moved to tears, Zhao Ying suddenly didn't know what to say.

Are the people of this era so simple?

I'm just being so polite.

But immediately, my heart felt heavy and unpleasant.

The common people in this land have always been the simplest, most easily satisfied, and the most miserable people. Sometimes even without material rewards, just a little verbal recognition can make them the superiors. Give willingly.

"Come on, let's all think about it carefully and see if we can build this thing. If it can be built, you will have made great contributions to the court. I will definitely go to His Majesty to ask for your credit, and the court will certainly not hesitate to reward you... …”

With Zhao Ying's promise, and knowing from Cocoon that the hydraulic continuous mill had solved most of the problems and was about to be completed, these people suddenly became enthusiastic and filled with blazing hopes.

Immediately, Zhao Ying also described the details of this large hydraulic spinning wheel in as much detail as possible based on the introduction he had seen in his previous life, trying to save them from taking some detours.

……

It should be said that the level of craftsmen in Shaofu is very high.

Before it gets dark, they have successfully built two pedal-operated spinning wheels.

The whole body is made of jujube wood, and every part is polished and smooth, making it pleasing to the eye.

"Noble sir, please take a look and see if this is the case. If there is anything inappropriate, I will adjust it later..."

This is the most common foot-operated spinning wheel with three spindles in later generations.

Zhao Ying didn't know how to spin, but he saw the staff demonstrate it at the scenic spot. He pedaled it and found that the eccentric wheel was running smoothly. He thought there should be no problem, so he nodded appreciatively.

"Yes, he is indeed the best craftsman in the Young Mansion. His craftsmanship is indeed superb!"

The two craftsmen who received the praise suddenly raised their chests like victorious cocks, and their faces were glowing red.

Seeing that it was already dark, Zhao Ying clapped his hands.

"That's it for today. Everyone has worked hard. Each person will be rewarded with a hundred dollars first. We will continue tomorrow..."

The craftsmen, who were already delighted to see Lie Xin, couldn't help but feel even happier when they received the reward from Zhao Ying. They all bowed to express their gratitude, and their affection for this humble, polite and generous young master gradually increased.

Seeing that Zhao Ying was about to go back, the clerk who brought him here quickly arranged for someone to deliver the spinning wheel to the house. Zhao Ying did not refuse this kind offer, smiled and thanked him and left.

I consciously used public resources and hired good officials, and I was in a good mood.

After all, not everyone can have this kind of opportunity to please a noble person.

When he returned to the house, it was already dark, and the family was waiting for him to eat. When they saw him coming in with a big wheel from outside, they couldn't help but look over with curiosity.

Especially the chubby little girl, as soon as she saw him coming, she stumbled towards him.

"Big pot pot, big pot pot..."

He casually put the spinning wheel at the door, bent down and picked up the little girl with one hand. Zhao Qi came over curiously and played with the new thing that his elder brother had brought in.

"Ying'er, what is this..."

Mi Ji also came over to take a look, but didn't see any clues, so she couldn't help but ask.

"The foot-operated spinning wheel - let the craftsmen modify it based on your hand-operated spinning wheel. You can try it later to see if it works..."

It actually happened!

I thought my son just said it casually, but I didn’t expect that he actually did it!

I feel relieved and happy at the same time. Although I don't know if this thing that looks like a wheel can be used, it is enough for my son to have this thought.

"This one can carry three spindles, and you can sit down, so you don't have to work as hard as before..."

Zhao Ying just made a simple gesture, and Mi Ji immediately understood how to use it. Judging from the way she was touching it, if she hadn't seen her younger sister and younger brother shouting that they were hungry, they would have had to try it themselves before they could eat.

Therefore, this also resulted in the dinner ending much faster than before.

Seeing that his grandma couldn't wait to get on the spinning wheel and spin yarn like a child with a new toy, Zhao Ying stood up and left with a smile.

I've been delayed all afternoon, and I still have a lot of homework to do.

Work hard.

Practice archery.

read!

Knowledge is power. Only by deeply understanding the culture of this era can we truly integrate into this era and master this era.

At this point, he was more awake than ever before the time travel.

Xiong Hejing, who was following Zhao Ying for the first time, realized how hard the young master he was following was working hard.

No, maybe it can no longer be called hard work.

It’s just desperate!

They had never seen someone who worked so hard and was so cruel to themselves. He almost refused to give up until he squeezed himself to the limit. They watched with their own eyes as Zhao Ying exhausted himself, staggered, and then went to the study again and persisted. I read until midnight before falling asleep.

They really couldn't understand why the young master they were following, their new master, was so desperate despite having such a noble status. However, in my heart, I was vaguely looking forward to the young master's future.

Who doesn’t want to follow a promising master?

This also led to Xiong, who got up early the next morning to teach Zhao Ying how to practice martial arts, with an unprecedentedly serious attitude.

"What I'm teaching you today is the fighting technique on the battlefield, the real killing technique -"

The bear held a long sword in his hand and looked serious.

"It's different from the swordsmanship you practiced in the past. Fighting on the battlefield emphasizes killing with one strike. You should use the simplest and most labor-saving method to kill the enemy as much as possible. There is no fixed routine. Therefore, the villain today only Talk about the basic movements of exerting force and withdrawing force, as well as the timing and judgment of offense and defense..."

Zhao Ying: ...

What other overlord marksmanship skills am I thinking about?

That's it!

However, when I think about it again, is this reasonable? On the battlefield, there are so many people rushing forward. Who is waiting for you to use some fancy tricks to see how cool you are?

On the contrary, this technique of exerting force and discharging force is the truly practical skill.

Therefore, I learned more seriously.

Xiong said there were no routines, but when it came to the real demonstration, he had quite a lot of skills in his hands. From poking, teasing, breaking, chaining, breaking, and a series of basic movements, Zhao couldn't help but listen. Ying couldn't help but be eager to try.
