my grandfather was qin shi huang

Hearing this, the First Emperor nodded noncommittally.

He was not surprised by this.

The Mengxi Bai family is the descendant of the three famous generals who achieved Qin Mugong's hegemony: Meng Mingshi, Xiqishu, and Bai Yibing. After Duke Mu of Qin, the descendants of the three tribes lived side by side. Over the past 200 years, they gradually occupied most of Xi County and became a powerful and prestigious tribe in the Qin Dynasty. They were praised as the hometown of noble commoners and the source of Qin knights.

It was not until after Shang Yang's reform that the knightly privileges and merit-based privileges of the Mengxi Bai tribe were cancelled, and they became the Old Qin people who farmed and fought on an equal footing with the Chinese people, that these three tribes began to gradually decline.

Today, the lives of the Mon and Xiqi tribes are difficult. Only the Bai tribe is good at farming and can barely maintain some dignity.

But even so, the influence of the three tribes in Da Qin is still deep-rooted and should not be underestimated.

Kings of all ages would visit and express their condolences in person. It's just that although the three tribes have declined, they still maintain the pride and glory of their ancestors. They receive no reward for no merit and never accept additional gifts and care from the King of Qin.

For such a group of outstanding and loyal old people, even if the First Emperor cared for them, there was nothing they could do.

What's more, Hu Hai today?

But the lives of the three tribes, especially the Meng and Xiqi tribes, have been really difficult in recent years. For many families, even basic clothes and food have become a problem. In this case, no matter how the three tribes He was not surprised by the choice.

He sighed with some emotion.

"Get ready. After the autumn hunting, I will go there in person to see those old friends..."

"promise--"

The First Emperor personally visited the elders of the Bai tribe in Mengxi every few years, and Hei had already become accustomed to seeing those old friends who had fought side by side in the past.

……

He wasn't full at noon, so after returning home, Zhao Ying worked on half a pot of mutton again.

Taking advantage of the time to digest food, I walked around the backyard, had a meal with my old lady who was busy spinning, and stuffed a pork rib with plump mutton into my little chubby sister who was running around the yard. Along the way, he kindly cared about his younger brother's studies, and thoughtfully stuffed two large bamboo slips.

"Black-haired people don't know how to study early, and white-haired people regret that they study too late. Second brother, you must study early. I'm sorry for the elder brother. Study hard and don't let your brother down..."

As he spoke, he accidentally crushed a delicate tea cup in front of Zhao Qi.

Zhao Qi: ...

Swallowing secretly.

So, under Zhao Ying's gentle guidance and Dundun's guidance, Zhao Qi was so moved that his eyes turned red. He completely put away his laziness and devoted himself to studying and studying again with full energy.

Zhao Ying felt very pleased.

When educating children, you have to reason and convince them. This is what I am best at.

He felt that as an older brother, he was not doing well enough and there was still room for improvement. He had to find opportunities to go to the school to collect some test papers. How could he improve without doing the questions?

Back to the back garden.

Sit-ups.

push ups

horizontal bar.

3000m rapid obstacle race!

First, he stretched his muscles and bones to warm up, and then began to meticulously train every chopping and stabbing movement, each movement two thousand times.

Then, practice archery!

Now, although his movements are not as skillful and flexible as Jing's, if he just stands still and shoots the target, his hit rate is also extremely high.

After all, I have a natural advantage in this.

After practicing briefly for a while, I began to seriously ask for tips and key points on shooting moving targets, and then devoted myself to meticulous practice just like yesterday.

Tomorrow's autumn hunting, his opponent is bound to win.

But the level is limited, so I can only increase my strength as much as possible. He originally thought that this afternoon would just go by, but he didn't expect that just as he was having lunch, he saw Tu, the steward of the house, leading two people in with great joy.

He couldn't help but feel something in his heart, and a smile appeared on his face.

"The villain has seen the noble..."

Looking at the two blacksmiths and masons behind Tu who looked excited and their faces were a little red with excitement, Zhao Ying smiled and nodded.

"But the stone mill has made progress..."

"My lord, you are really amazing. The water power you mentioned has been polished! It's done!"

The stonemason, who had a powdery face and even his eyebrows were a little gray, excitedly raised his hands. Looking at that posture, if it weren't for the fact that he was in awe of Zhao Ying's identity, he would have wanted to rush over and hug Zhao Ying's thigh.

"The noble man's design is really ingenious. The water-powered continuous mill is really, really - I don't know what to say. I don't know what to say, but it is really convenient. A stone mill can be used by more than a dozen men day and night." I'm afraid the speed of pushing is not as fast as the speed of this hydraulic grinding..."

Zhao Ying nodded.

He had already known this result. Compared with ordinary stone mills, there was no doubt about the advanced nature of hydraulic continuous mills. As long as it can be done, it will definitely be an epoch-making change.

The efficiency is so high that it is definitely not comparable to today's stone mills.

"Go, go and see—"

Seeing that Xiong and Jing had finished eating, they put down their bowls and chopsticks and stood up. Zhao Ying also pushed away the bowls and chopsticks in front of him and stood up with a smile.

Although Fusu Mansion has its own craftsmen, the mansion does not rely on water.

If you want to install a hydraulic continuous mill, it must be in a farm outside.

As the eldest son of the First Emperor, the farm in Fusu Mansion not only occupies a large area with fertile land, but also has a beautiful environment, with convenient transportation and irrigation.

In addition, it is adjacent to Shanglin Garden on the left and Dianshui River on the right. It is not so much a farm as a place for vacation and leisure.

Zhao Ying's water power mill is located here.

When Zhao Ying, Xiong Hejing, and others arrived with Tu and others, several craftsmen were excitedly gathered around the newly built straw shed on the shore, with their arms crossed and pointing at a huge water wheel inside. point.

It wasn't until the steward of the farm walked over and shouted loudly that these people were surprised to notice the visitor and stepped back to salute.

The steward of the farm was about to introduce Zhao Ying, but Zhao Ying stopped him with a wave of his hand. He stepped forward with a smile and pointed at the hydraulic mill working on the shore.

"How's this? Is this hydraulic continuous grinder useful?"

"To tell you the truth, it's easy to use, easy to use, and easy to use -"

Although he didn't know Zhao Ying's identity, seeing the steward of the farm personally bringing him over and serving him respectfully, the craftsman naturally didn't dare to neglect him. While bowing, he quickly introduced the hydraulic mill.

"Have you seen these big wheels? Just a few gadgets like these can drive nine stone mills. Without a single person, they can spin very fast on their own, as fast as dozens or hundreds of strong men... "

"I'm afraid you don't know that all this was done by our young master——"

Mentioning this, the craftsman who replied couldn't help but sigh with pride on his face.

"Our young master is really as wise as the sea, he is amazing!"

When Zhao Ying heard this, he immediately became happy.

oops--

What a shame.

"Come on, reward!"
