Chapter 215 The Emperor's Grandson?
When they saw the tall figure of Zhao Ying in the crowd, the elites of the Qin Dynasty secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but they couldn't hold back the curious thoughts in their hearts, and one by one they leaned over the edge of the city wall to look down.

Surrounded by the crowd, he saw His Royal Highness the Emperor Changsun, following a round stone, passing through the city gate, and striding out of the city.

There are many wheat fields outside the city.

Zhao Ying didn't have to go to his own farm, he found a wheat field not far from the city gate.

The farmer, who was threshing wheat with a flail, was taken aback, thinking that something had happened, but when he heard that the grandson of the emperor wanted to borrow their field to try out new farm tools, he was a little relieved.

Looking at the heavy stone roller on the ground, the man leaning on the flail just showed a trace of hesitation on his face. Will such a heavy stone roller crush the wheat, will it flatten the wheat?
He hesitated whether to refuse, but was pulled aside by his wife.

"Your Highness, you can try it—even if it's crushed, it doesn't matter, and it doesn't affect eating..."

Zhao Ying smiled and nodded.

"Thank you, don't worry, if it is damaged, I will ask someone to compensate you according to the price..."

The couple bowed again and again, not daring to speak straight, but the expressions on their faces were obviously much lighter.

It wasn't until this time that Shaofu Shilu got the chance to squeeze over from behind.

"I have seen His Royal Highness, the eldest grandson—"

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Zhao Ying to return the gift, he couldn't wait to point to the stone roller on the ground and asked.

"Excuse me, Your Highness, what is this..."

"Stone rollers—it can be used to thresh wheat, and after being rolled with stone rollers, these straws are also easier to burn..."

When talking about Shi Dian, Zhao Ying deliberately raised his voice, taking advantage of the crowd, he had to quickly give this thing a solid name.He was really afraid that his elder father would happily give him a grandson...

The owner of this wheat farm does not have any animals. Looking at the thick layer of wheat spread in the middle of the wheat field, Zhao Ying estimated that it is only this thickness, and without animals, three or five strong young men may not be able to move it. .

So he rolled up his sleeves.

"Let me demonstrate to you first..."

As he spoke, he took it from the servants, pulled the rope with one hand, like taking a walk in the garden, and pulled the stone roller with one hand, and rolled it a few times with ease until the straw was smooth and smooth. Only then stopped with a smile.

"Come on, who wants to come and try..."

"I!"

Shi Lu had been watching for a long time, but when he heard Zhao Ying's greeting, he stepped forward without thinking, and rolled up his sleeves excitedly.Zhao Ying looked at his small body and looked at the crowd with a smile.

"The villain is also willing to try..."

"..."

Dozens of people stood up, and Zhao Ying smiled and selected four of them, two young men in their 20s, and two old men who looked about 50 or [-] years old.

Including Shaofu Shilu, there are five people in total, basically there are only so many people in ordinary families.

When the stone roller first started to roll, it was a bit difficult, but then it became much better. Several people pulled it around a few times, and Shi Lu put down the rope in his hand a little out of breath.

"It can be used, but the family has less labor and needs to make a smaller one..."

Just now, I saw Zhao Ying pulling with one hand without any effort, but I didn't expect that it would be much heavier when it was changed to the hands of several of my own.Without Shi Lu's instructions, the officials under him have already taken over his work automatically.Zhao Ying

While wiping his sweat, he stood there communicating with Zhao Ying.

"It's a little heavy. If it's an ordinary farmer's house, it has to be made smaller. If there are no animals in the family, it's a bit difficult to pull it up for a family of five or six..."

Zhao Ying also nodded in agreement.

Today's stone roller is indeed a little big, and if ordinary people want to use it, they must make it a few sizes smaller, otherwise it will be a bit laborious to use.

The time when the two of them were talking, the person pulling the stone rollers on the wheat field had changed several times. Even so, there were still many people still eagerly queuing up on the sidelines.

Zhao Ying couldn't laugh or cry.

This is using this stone roller as a new toy, right?

"Whether it can be used or not, the key is to see the effect..."

Zhao Ying came to the edge of the wheat field, squatted down, grabbed a handful of wheat straw, and carefully looked at the rolling situation.Before Zhao Ying could speak, the man's wife had already offered to hand over a three-pronged wooden fork.Compared with his dull husband, this woman is more winking.

Zhao Ying smiled and thanked him.

He stood up, picked it apart with a wooden fork, shook it carefully, and carefully picked aside the almost crushed wheat straw, and a large piece of yellowish and dark red wheat grains suddenly appeared underneath.

The particles are full and round.

There is no sign of being broken or even crushed!

Many old farmers leaned over, grabbed a handful of crushed wheat straw, and carefully checked the threshing situation.

"It's very clean, there is almost no residue..."

An old man with a dark complexion and a somewhat stooped figure was holding a handful of straw and showing it to the left and right excitedly.Zhao Ying knew that this was just an illusion——

Even if it is popularized, it is impossible for ordinary people to use such a large stone roller.

If you want to take it off cleanly, you have to rub it again.

But even so, compared to using a flail, it is clean enough.

The effect is immediate.

There is no need to deliberately promote it. I believe that the group of people behind will spread the news soon.

"Your Highness, how did you remember this..."

Shi Lu looked at the stone roller in front of him, and his whole person almost fell into self-doubt.

It's such a simple thing, why didn't you think of it!
Seeing this, Zhao Ying couldn't help laughing.

"What's the point of thinking about this? We usually trample the wheat grains away with our feet. If we change to a larger stone roller, it should be able to crush it..."

Shi Lu: ...

You make me feel like a fool for saying that!
But if you think about it carefully, this is really the case.

Zhao Ying gave the stone roller to the farmer of this wheat farm, and the wife of this farmer took his honest man and two children to Zhao Ying, thanking him very much.

Zhao Ying stopped them with a smile.

"This stone roller is really too big for you. You can choose to sell it to those big households with livestock, or you can keep it for yourself. If you feel that it is inconvenient to use, I will arrange it for you at that time." The stonemason will come and help you adjust it to be smaller..."

"Don't dare to bother Your Highness, the villain can also order stonemason's crafts, and when he is not busy on weekdays, he will help others to order stone tablets and benches to subsidize the family—"

The honest and dull man, with flushed cheeks, explained with some embarrassment.

Zhao Ying smiled and nodded.

Someone helped to pull the stone roller to the side of the wheat field and put it away, then got up and left with Shi Lu and others.The crowd who followed also dispersed, but their expressions were still filled with excitement.

Witnessed the birth of a new farm tool, and it was His Highness the Emperor's Grandson and the Minister of the Shaofu who tried it in person in front of them. This talk is enough to brag about for a lifetime.

"Your Highness, go, follow me into the palace..."

Shi Lu was not in a hurry to go home, and was about to return to the palace immediately to announce the good news to the first emperor.

He witnessed with his own eyes just now that the threshing efficiency of this stone roller is far better than that of a flail. If there are livestock, the efficiency is even dozens of times higher than that of a flail. manned.

In this season of grain rush, its importance is self-evident.

"Young mansion, please be safe and don't be impatient..."

Zhao Ying cheerfully grabbed the impatient Shi Lu.

"Shaofu can't hold his temper now - I still have a farm tool that can be used for threshing. Not only can one person use it, but the efficiency may be even higher than this stone roller..."

Shilu:! ! ! ! ! !

He turned around and grabbed Zhao Ying's sleeve. He wanted to grab his hand, but he was not tall enough, so he felt that it might be a bit difficult to grab.

"Your Highness, this statement is really true..."

Zhao Ying pulled Shi Lu's little hand away with some disgust.

"Shi Shaofu, be steady, be steady—"

Anyway, it is also one of the nine ministers!
"Your Highness, what exactly is the farm tool you are talking about, and where is it now? Can you let me take a look first..."

Shi Lu's mouth was like a cannonball, making Zhao Ying dumbfounded.

"Just a rough idea, maybe a slightly better carpenter is needed..."

"This matter is simple! There are many skilled craftsmen on the side of the minister—"

Before Zhao Ying finished speaking, Shi Lu had already patted his chest and wrapped it up.

Zhao Ying looked at the sky and saw that it was not too late, so he simply waved his hands to let the servants of the mansion go back on their own, while he rode his own dark clouds and covered the snow, and went straight to the East Garden of the Shaofu with Shi Lu.

When Shi Lu and Zhao Ying arrived, the sky was almost dark, but the carpenters in the East Garden were still busy busy.

Not only are they responsible for making various weapons in the army, they also have to work overtime to make farm tools during the busy farming season.

"The villain has seen the Shaofu, seen His Highness the Emperor's eldest grandson..."

As soon as Zhao Ying and Shi Lu walked into the East Garden, Cheng Yu led a few people to greet them with a hunched body.Zhao Ying still had an impression of this Cheng named Cocoon, so he smiled and stretched out his hand to help him.

"Old man, don't be too polite——"

Compared with the last time we met, this prime minister named Yu was obviously more stooped, and his complexion became darker and thinner.Zhao Ying looked at the East Garden which was still in full swing, and sighed silently in his heart.With such intensity of work, the capitalists would cry when they saw it...

It's hard not to lose weight.

"We came here this time to trouble the old man and help us build a new kind of farm tool..."

Hearing that the eldest grandson of the emperor was going to make new farm tools again, Cheng Yu's face was obviously a little excited.

"That's the honor of the villain!"

After finishing speaking, Cocoon patted her dry chest.

"Your Highness, just give orders, the villain promises to make you beautiful..."

The hydraulic continuous mill and the hydraulic spinning wheel last time had already made their East Garden famous, and even his cocoon's name became more and more famous.

Even his youngest son followed suit and entered the East Garden to work.

This time I heard that I will be making new farm tools again, so naturally I will do my best.Immediately, I personally recruited several old buddies who made the hydraulic loom together last time, and listened to them at any time.

Of course, he also called his youngest son, Chun, to observe and learn from the sidelines.

Chun can be regarded as an old employee of Zhao Ying's mansion. When he saw Zhao Ying coming, he was quite excited, and trotted over to salute Zhao Ying.

"I remember your name is Tsubaki, right..."

Seeing that Zhao Ying remembered his name, Chun's dark face almost glowed.

"Yes, the villain's name is Tsubaki—it turns out that he is a carpenter in the house..."

Saying this, the young man knelt on the ground with a plop.

"The villain wants to continue working for His Highness..."

Zhao Ying couldn't help laughing when he saw this, he didn't mind having an extra skilled carpenter in the house, and looked at the young man Shi Lu beside him.

"Young Mansion is willing to let people go..."

Shi Lu didn't pay attention to such trifles at all, he cared about the farm tools, and seeing that all the staff had arrived, he waved his hands quite casually.

"As long as His Highness likes it, I can do whatever I want here, and you can just take it away later..."

Zhao Ying didn't draw the picture in advance, but this is the East Garden, and the pen and ink are ready-made.

According to his own impression, Zhao Ying roughly drew the shape of the pedal thresher, and roughly explained the working function of this kind of thresher.

The structure of this old-fashioned pedal threshing machine is actually very simple. There is no difficulty in the canopy and threshing box, and the threshing drum can also be replaced by wooden sticks.

The only difficulty lies in the pedal transmission mechanism.

In this day and age, there are no suitable materials for transmission chains.

"right here--"

Zhao Ying roughly drew a connecting rod under the thresher with a pen.

"Can you make a similar connecting rod to drive the threshing drum to rotate through the pedal below..."

The connecting rod is still inspired by the sewing machine.

In his previous life, he had one at home. Sometimes he was curious and secretly tried it a few times. Of course, his mother chased and beat him every time——

It's a pity that even if you want to be chased and beaten now, you can't go back!
"It should work, let's try..."

Cocoon and a few old partners got together and studied it for a long time, and immediately decided to try it with good pear blossom wood.After all, this kind of connecting rod is extremely easy to wear and tear, so a slightly harder wood must be used.

] With the blueprint and the plan, it is still very fast to build an old-fashioned pedal thresher in this East Garden.

Several people worked together, and within half an hour, a simple pedal thresher appeared in front of him and Shi Lu.

Compared with the previous life, the only difference is the connecting rod.

It used to be a chain, but now it's a connecting rod.Zhao Ying went up, stepped on it lightly a few times, and found that it was running well. The roller turned quickly and steadily without any shaking.

Can't help but nod in praise.

"Good! The craftsmanship of the old men is really amazing——"

It is simple to make a pedal thresher, but it is not easy to make it so solid and rigorous, and the key point is that this pedal thresher has almost no nails in the whole body.

Even the pins are made of wood.

There is a gap for the pedal thresher to be built here. Shi Lu had already arranged for someone to pull a cart of wheat. Seeing that it was ready, he rushed over immediately.
