Rebirth of Shuangshu

Chapter 188 Turning Point
Gongshu Gou and his disciples followed Lin Xiaoxiao to Xianyang, originally wanting to see if there was a chance to open a wooden wheel vehicle (wooden bicycle) shop here.

As a result, the funeral was held when it came, and there was a three-day rest in the middle, and then the mourning continued.

Because it is a period of national mourning, it is not even allowed to open a shop quietly, and it is a capital offense if caught.

Lin Xiaoxiao also didn't want them to stay idle in the house all the time.People who are too idle will wear down their will.

So Lin Xiaoxiao taught them a task, which was to transform the mill.

The mill is a very important place, where millet, grain and the like are all processed.

At present, the mills in most places rely mainly on human labor.

The state of Qin realized the use of donkeys earlier than other countries, and has already encouraged the people to breed more donkeys.

It's just that the number of donkeys is still limited.In addition, the Qin State often fought wars, and most of the donkeys were requisitioned to carry food on the battlefield, and only a few of them could be kept for civilian use.

And horses are not suitable for this kind of long-term labor that requires endurance.

So the labor force in the mill is still human.

Lin Xiaoxiao's task for Gongshugou and his disciples is to install a power system for the mill.

Lin Xiaoxiao gave them some ideas: for example, wind power and water power can be considered.

There are winds in Xianyang city in four seasons.If windmills are used to utilize wind power, a lot of manpower can be saved.

There are several wells in Lin Xiaoxiao's mansion.Although there is no natural drop to form the water, there can be waterwheels.

All in all, there are a lot of ideas to consider.

Why did Lin Xiaoxiao suddenly have this idea?

Because she saw a toy for a primary school student when she was browsing the mall, and this toy was a model of a windmill.

A small windmill and a small mill.If you blow air on the windmill, the windmill will turn, and then drive the stone mill in the mill to turn.The point is that this model doesn't need to consume electricity.

It would be nice if this model could be applied to a real mill.

Lin Xiaoxiao saw that Gongshugou and the others were panicking because they were so idle, so she simply exchanged this small model and asked them to enlarge it.

Lin Xiaoxiao said to Gong Shugou: "I'm not asking you to compare it with this model, it's just for your reference. The one here in Xianyang is for you to practice, and one will definitely be built on Laiqi Mountain in the future."

After leaving this matter to Gong Shugou and the others, Lin Xiaoxiao didn't care about it anymore.

Ying Zheng had been ill for a while, and it was Zi Chu who finally found out the whole story.Afterwards, Zi Chu ordered someone to give Lin Xiaoxiao a thank you gift, and hired Hu Zi as Ying Zheng's teacher.

Speaking of it, it seems that Lu Buwei can't take care of Zhao Ji and Ying Zheng this year.He often leaves Xianyang and doesn't know what to do.

It is said that he was expanding his business. Lu Buwei used his relationship with Qin Prince Chu to establish business contacts with neighboring countries.

Hu Zigui did find out some news.

"King Zhaoxiang conquered too much when he was alive, and the treasury of the Qin State was almost exhausted in his later years. The past two years of mourning can be regarded as recuperation.

It's just that the treasury needs to be replenished, so the king of Qin sent Lu Buwei to take advantage of this time to trade with the surrounding area to fund the treasury. "

The state of Qin mourned, which represented the end of the war.This time is the most peaceful period, the most suitable for doing business.

But King Qin was not allowed to do business during the mourning period, so he quietly let Lu Buwei do it secretly.

Lin Xiaoxiao expressed her understanding.It's good to make money now, but there are still many battles to be fought in the future.

Lin Xiaoxiao asked curiously: "Qin Prince Chu trusts Lu Buwei so much?"

Hu Zigui had a strange expression on his face: "I see something strange between the King of Qin and Lu Buwei. The King of Qin seems to be quite afraid of Lu Buwei."

When he was in Zhao State, Zi Chu relied on Lu Buwei to support him, and under Lu Buwei's operation, his situation in Zhao State was changed.

After returning to Qin, it was also under Lu Buwei's operation that Zi Chu gained the trust and love of Mrs. Huayang.It can be said that Zi Chu was able to succeed the king of Qin, and Lu Buwei made great contributions.

From the perspective of future generations, Lu Buwei is ambitious.Later, he asked someone to compile "Lu Shi Chunqiu", which may be suspected of creating momentum for himself.

It's just that Zi Chu and Lu Buwei have many unspeakable things.

Just like King Qin Xiaowen died violently three days after he ascended the throne, there is no one who doubts Lu Buwei and Zi Chu in private.

The truth is probably only the two of them know.

Lin Xiaoxiao couldn't help thinking that there were rumors in history that Ying Zheng was Lu Buwei's son.

Lin Xiaoxiao hasn't met that Zi Chu yet, but she also thinks that Zi Chu is not that stupid.

In fact, it doesn't really matter who Ying Zheng's biological father is.Because the one who unified the world was Qin Wang Yingzheng, not his father.

Lin Xiaoxiao couldn't help being concerned about Xiaozheng's study situation: "I heard that Yingzheng is studying with you now?"

Hu Zigui frowned slightly: "It's not just me, Lu Buwei also found several teachers for him."

Lin Xiaoxiao didn't understand Hu Zigui's meaning: "Could it be possible who dare to push you away?"

Hu Zigui sighed deeply: "Zhao Ji firmly believes in Lu Buwei, and obeys the teacher he invited."

"That's impossible," Lin Xiaoxiao snorted.

"It's autumn now, and I plan to go to the doctor again. This time I want to go further and go to more places. You can go with me, and take Xiaozheng along with you."

Hu Zigui smiled wryly: "I would rather, but I can't make the decision."

Lin Xiaoxiao said: "King Xiaowen gave me the title of 'Walk the World', and now I'm still in his funeral, so I think he's visiting the world in the name of accumulating merit.

This time, following the formal procedures, I passed a note to Zi Chu and asked Ying Zheng to follow him in the name of Prince Xiaowen's grandson. "

Lin Xiaoxiao formally wrote a letter to the King of Qin for the first time.Because her matter involved King Xiaowen, the letter was put in front of King Qin, and Zi Chu immediately approved it.

Therefore, Lin Xiaoxiao decided to leave in ten days.

This time, Gong Shugou and his disciples stayed behind as housekeepers.Kong Ci, Ah Wu and Lin Ya all followed.

Lin Xiaoxiao notified Zhao Ji's other courtyard, and only asked Ying Zheng to bring an entourage.

Lin Xiaoxiao insisted on bringing Yingzheng with her. Apart from helping Hu Zigui, she also had her own selfish motives.

She wanted to take Ying Zheng to see this land with her own eyes, and let him understand the suffering of some people.

Ten days later, Lin Xiaoxiao was ordered to go on a medical tour around the world to accumulate merit for King Xiaowen.

There were four carriages in their party.

One car is dedicated to pulling luggage.One is driven by Lin Xiaoxiao, one is driven by Hu Zigui, and the other is driven by Ying Zheng.

In fact, I didn't need so many cars to drive, but because this trip was more formal, and there were officials from Qin State to see me off, I had to put on a little pomp.

Zhao Ji also came to see him off.She looked better than before.

Zi Chuken asked Ying Zheng to take his place and follow the female Kunlun Mountain doctor on a medical tour around the world, thus raising Ying Zheng's status in disguise.

You must know that when King Xiaowen succeeded to the throne, he named Zi Chu as the prince.But Zi Chu now succeeds to the throne, but he has no intention of being crowned prince.

The reason is age factor.King Xiaowen was over 50 years old when he succeeded to the throne, but Zi Chu dared to be 30 years old.

Another reason is that Zi Chu still values ​​the power of the Empress Dowager Huayang very much.
