my grandfather was qin shi huang

"Your Majesty, Young Master Ying has developed a large water-powered spinning wheel, which is a hundred times more efficient than manpower!"

Shi Lu looked excited.

The two foundations of the Qin Empire were military merit and nobility, and the farming and weaving system. The former maintained the Qin Dynasty's strong combat effectiveness, and the latter was the guarantee for the Qin Dynasty's army to maintain its strong combat effectiveness!

The emergence of the large water-powered spinning wheel suddenly increased the spinning efficiency by more than 100 times, which was a shot in the arm for today's Daqin.

A big water-powered spinning wheel?

A hundred times better than human power?

Everyone couldn't help but look at each other, and focused their attention on Zhong Zhao Ying again in surprise. Although the First Emperor maintained his composure, his tightly clenched fists still betrayed his mood at this time.

Zhao Ying ignored the reactions of others and walked quickly to Shi Lu.

"Master Shi's Mansion, is it really done?"

"It's done!"

Shi Lu nodded solemnly.

"Xiaguan has personally tested that a full 56 spindles can be spun in less than a quarter of an hour. Even so, it is still because the craftsmen are not skilled in the operation. It is preliminary estimated that after becoming proficient, the time of 56 spindles can be compressed to Within half a quarter of an hour!”

hiss--

Everyone couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.

……

Two quarters later.

The First Emperor and a group of ministers looked at the large water-powered spinning wheel built on the bank of the Dian River in amazement. They watched dumbfoundedly as the water wheel in the water quickly rotated in an orderly manner with several small water wheels under the impact of the river water. The densely packed yarn spindles, driven by the water wheel, quickly drive the spindles to rotate.

The spindle quickly bulges at a speed visible to the naked eye and becomes a standard spindle.

It took less than a quarter of an hour, just as Shi Lu said.

Simply a miracle!

This Young Master Ying, who is extremely brave and powerful, actually has a talent in this area!

……

Looking at the water-powered spinning wheel in front of him, the First Emperor suddenly felt something in his heart.

"What you told me a few days ago can solve the problem of stone grinding that consumes manpower. Isn't it similar to this?"

"Father is wise!"

Zhao Ying smiled and gave the First Emperor a free flattery.

"I was about to tell my eldest father that the water-powered mill has been completed. It's at the farm not far away. Would you like to go over and have a look?"

If I didn't ask about my feelings, you would still be holding back and not telling me, right?

“You brat, why don’t you hurry up and lead the way——”

The First Emperor kicked him angrily.

Zhao Ying staggered a few steps with some exaggeration, then limped, pretending to come up and hold the First Emperor's arm, and the First Emperor couldn't help but smile.

Follow Zhao Ying and step forward unhurriedly.

Like a pair of ordinary grandparents taking a leisurely walk in the fields.

Seeing this scene in front of them, everyone's eyes couldn't help but flicker, and they followed in a tacit understanding. The power of heaven is unpredictable, and no one dares to speculate on the thoughts of the First Emperor.

Zhao Gao and Li Si subconsciously glanced back at Hu Hai, who was pretending to be calm, and then calmly withdrew their gaze.

This is not Xianyang Palace, Zhangtai Palace, or Ganquan Palace. In front of everyone, the First Emperor unabashedly expressed his love for the young master Ying. Who dares to say that this was an unintentional move?

Everyone couldn't help but happily re-evaluate their performance during this period, especially those who were swinging between the eldest son Fusu and the eighteenth son Hu Hai. Many people who had even taken a step towards Hu Hai secretly He took his feet back.

The First Emperor seemed to be unaware of all this, and Zhao Ying didn't think much about it.

Ouch - ahem, what's wrong with being a grandson and being filial to your own eldest father?

Justified!

With the big water-powered spinning wheel as the foundation, and then looking at the water-powered continuous mill, a group of people became much calmer. While curiously observing the stone mill, I asked carefully about some details of the stone mill.

"Young Master, I really don't know where your ingenuity comes from. It's really amazing——"

Feng Quji touched the stone mill and admired it.

Zhao Ying waved his hand with a smile.

"What's so amazing about this? You see it's very simple. In fact, there are no big changes. I just added a water wheel to the original stone mill - mainly because of the reminder from the eldest father..."

When the First Emperor heard this, he couldn't help being happy and laughed and cursed.

"You brat, do I still need this little credit from you?"

Zhao Ying said cheerfully.

"My eldest father has made great contributions to the Three Emperors and the Five Emperors. Naturally, he does not need my meager contribution. However, this credit belongs to you. If you hadn't disliked the time and effort of ordinary stone grinding, I would not have thought about it. Lazy way, we can be considered as the combined efforts of ancestors and grandsons..."

The First Emperor smiled and waved his hand.

"I have clear rewards and punishments. What should be yours is yours. If you have made great achievements this time, I will naturally reward you!"

Having said this, the First Emperor looked at the whirling water wheel and suddenly became thoughtful.

"You call this thing a hydraulic continuous mill, and you call the one just now a large hydraulic spinning wheel?"

Zhao Ying didn't know what the First Emperor meant, so he nodded in confusion.

The First Emperor waved his hand and said authentically.

"The names are too common. In my opinion, this stone mill is called Huangsun Mill, and the spinning wheel in front is called Huangsun Car-"

Zhao Ying: ...

Father, to be honest, your name-making skills are also poor.

"Your Majesty is wise, what a good name! The young master has worked hard and painstakingly for the sake of all people in the world, and then he has developed this great spinning wheel that benefits all people. It is so appropriately named, good, very good!"

Before Zhao Ying could complain, the old general Meng Wu next to him couldn't help but his eyes lit up, and he stepped forward and echoed loudly.

Zhao Ying: ...

Ah, this-

Old general, we must have a drink when we have time!

Crowd: ...

Everyone is a discerning person. Who doesn't understand that this old guy Meng Wu is taking the opportunity to gain prestige for the emperor's eldest grandson and eldest son, but what else can be done?

All they could do was agree.

"Your Majesty, what a name!"

The First Emperor nodded lightly and raised his hand to summon Shaofu Shi Lu.

"Immediately order all counties and counties in the world to vigorously promote these two tools wherever there is water, so that all people in the world can enjoy the benefits of these two tools..."

"The craftsmen who participated in this tool transformation will be promoted to two levels and rewarded with ten thousand yuan——"

……

Shi Lu left happily.

With this royal car, he is now confident that he can collect enough cloth to make winter warm clothing before the New Year. Emperor Sun Ying really solved his urgent need.

When the hunting was over, the First Emperor waved his hand and dismissed the civil and military ministers who were accompanying him.

Only the veteran generals Wang Jian and Meng Wu, who no longer hold positions in the court, and Zhao Gao, the commander of the CRRC, were left.

Zhao Ying supported the First Emperor and walked slowly inside the farm. The old generals Wang Jian and Meng Wu were accompanying him on the left and right, and Zhao Gao, the commander of the Central Chemistry Mansion, followed step by step.

The eyelids are drooped and the gaze is deep.
