Chapter 37 Killing Techniques
Zhao Ying couldn't help laughing.

The completion of the design drawings of the pedal spinning wheel and the hydraulic spinning wheel put him in a good mood.For this era, these two tools are undoubtedly an epoch-making breakthrough.

After rewarding the court painter who came to help, Zhao Ying immediately called the craftsmen in the house happily.

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

Having said that, he tapped the spinning wheel in his hand.

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

Several master craftsmen looked at the drawings in their hands, gathered together and discussed in a low voice for a while, and then an older craftsman came over and bowed.

"Your Excellency, we may be able to make the pedal spinning wheel you mentioned. This hydraulic spinning wheel is too delicate, and the little people have limited skills. I'm afraid they won't be able to do it. It will delay the nobleman's important event..."

Having said that, the slightly older craftsman suggested hesitantly.

"This kind of carpentry may only be done by masters from the Shaofu..."

Zhao Ying was startled, then nodded with a smile.

"It's okay, then go and do your own things—"

Since he wanted to find craftsmen from the Shaofu, he simply didn't need them even on the spinning wheel. After all, one guest didn't bother the two masters. No matter what, he had to bother others once, so why bother to be polite to others.Cough, the main reason is that they are skilled in craftsmanship, making a pedal spinning wheel must be more refined, right?

For the hostess in the mansion of the dignified Prince Qin, it is not too much to use a VIP version of the spinning wheel!

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

There is no way, although it is just a small job of carpentry, the Qin Dynasty has very strict management of craftsmen. All the craftsmen who are making up have strict rules on what to do and how to do it. Without official permission, no one dares to take private work casually , let alone leave casually.

Shi Lu had quite an impression of Zhao Ying, after all, he was the eldest son of the young master Fusu.

What's more, this guy has been running in front of the first emperor more frequently recently, and the first emperor's attitude is also very intriguing. It is difficult for people not to notice him, but as one of the nine ministers, he is not likely to go out of his way to curry favor Zhao Ying.

Hearing that Zhao Ying came here specifically to find him, he was quite surprised.

When he knew that he was just borrowing a few skilled craftsmen from himself to build a useful spinning wheel for his grandmother, he couldn't help but laugh.

Just because of such a trivial matter? Find yourself on your head?

But filial piety to parents is indeed a commendable good thing!
Just in time for the officials in charge of East Weaving and West Weaving to report on the situation of cloth raising, they nodded to Zhao Ying approvingly.

"Young master is indeed benevolent and filial——"

Then, with a big wave of his hand, he found an official beside him and took Zhao Ying out to find someone.

As a Shaofu, I am very busy.

Zhao Ying didn't care about this either, and walked straight out with the 30-something-year-old official who looked very capable at first glance.The official knew Zhao Ying's identity, so he was very polite, pointing to the dozen or so craftsmen who were picked out by others, a little flattering and authentic.

"Mr. Ying, if you need anything, just tell the little official..."

Zhao Ying nodded with a smile and thanked him.

Seeing that Zhao Ying really had nothing to say, the official pleaded guilty again and again and left.

He has his own duties, but he dare not leave for too long.

Zhao Ying didn't care about him, and after he left, he called several craftsmen to his side, took out the blueprint in his hand, and prepared to introduce it patiently to everyone.

It is said that it is a drawing, but it is actually just an appearance and a partial structural diagram drawn from memory.Although he has the ability of photographic memory and the memory of his previous life has become much clearer, but he is not a professional, who would know such details when visiting a museum?
Therefore, this picture is actually a simple picture, which requires craftsmen of this era. According to this thing, it is really a test of the craftsmanship and experience of craftsmen to restore the large hydraulic spinning wheel.

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

However, there are many improvements in the world that promote the development of productivity, but there are few organic changes, and the difference is just a finishing touch.

But this is a step in the door, and sometimes it takes hundreds of years to take it by accident.

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

"What, you say it's a spinning wheel?"

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

If it wasn't for Zhao Ying's noble status, they would have scoffed at him long ago.

Even so, several craftsmen with the most senior qualifications came over suspiciously, stared at the drawing for a long time, pondered carefully, and then came to inquire about some details, as well as the purpose and method of use of this large hydraulic spinning wheel. The ground came together again and began to mull over the possibility of this great water-powered spinning wheel.

As for the pedal spinning wheel, it is out of their sight now, and they ordered a few younger craftsmen to work overtime beside them.

Now, their goal is the big hydraulic spinning wheel.

Several old craftsmen, the more they researched, the more they thought it was possible. At this time, an older craftsman pointed to the water wheel and transmission of the large hydraulic spinning wheel and showed a thoughtful look.

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

The craftsmen around suddenly regained their spirits, and even Zhao Ying couldn't help but glance at this old man with a slightly stooped body, showing a look of anticipation.

"Xiaocheng, you know this!"

Cheng is the low-level official who manages these craftsmen, and is usually held by the skilled and respected old man among the craftsmen. Obviously, this person named Yu is such a role.

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

"You all know that the third boy of our family is working in the eldest son's mansion. I don't know how he found out about my going home for vacation the day before yesterday. He even sneaked home to see me and was scolded by me—"

At this point, Yu Yu changed the subject.

"However, fortunately, that stinky boy is also a generalist, not because he is lazy, but because he went back to ask me about his skills, saying that the nobleman in the house wanted to build a stone mill driven by water power, and asked me to help him— —However, his is different from this one, if the nobleman said just now that it is driven by water, the old man really didn't remember..."

"A water-powered stone mill..."

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

Seeing this, Zhao Ying couldn't help but feel happy.

I didn't expect to find someone to make something, and I caught up with the father and son in battle.

Immediately smiled and nodded.

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

Several craftsmen hurriedly stood up and greeted Zhao Ying again. Zhao Ying waved his hands with a smile.

"You don't need to be too polite. You are the best craftsmen in our Great Qin. Those who have made great efforts for the court and the country are meritorious ministers. You don't need to be so polite like a junior like me—"

The voice has not fallen,

Seeing the beards of the old craftsmen move, their eyes flushed, and they were so moved that they almost shed tears, Zhao Ying suddenly didn't know what to say.

Are the common people of this era so simple?

I'm just being polite.

But immediately, I felt a little heavy in my heart, which was not a good feeling.

The common people in this land have always been the most simple, the easiest to satisfy, and the most miserable people. Sometimes even without material rewards, just giving a little verbal recognition can make them the most powerful people. willing to give.

"Come on, let's all think hard and see if we can make this thing. If we can make it, you have made great contributions to the imperial court. I will definitely go to His Majesty to ask for your merits, and the imperial court will certainly reward you... ..."

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

Immediately, Zhao Ying also described the details of the 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 detours.

……

In other words, the craftsmen here in Shaofu are of a high level.

It was not yet dark, and they successfully built two pedal spinning wheels by themselves.

The whole body is made of jujube wood, and every place is polished smooth and smooth, which is pleasing to the eye.

"My lord, take a look to see if this is the case. If there is something inappropriate, I will adjust it later..."

This is the most common pedal spinning wheel with three spindles in later generations.

Zhao Ying doesn't know how to spin, but he saw the staff demonstrate it at the scenic spot. He kicked it with his foot and found that the eccentric wheel was running smoothly. It should be no problem, so he nodded in appreciation immediately.

"That's right, as expected of the best craftsman in Shaofu, this skill is really brilliant!"

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

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

"That's it for today. Everyone has worked hard. Everyone will be rewarded with [-] yuan, and we will continue tomorrow..."

The craftsmen, who were happy to see Liexin, couldn't help being even happier when they were rewarded by Zhao Ying at this time. 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 little official who brought him hurriedly arranged for someone to deliver the spinning wheel to the mansion.Zhao Ying didn't refuse this kindness either, and thanked him with a smile and left.

Consciously using the resources of the public office to find a good little official, the mood is not good.

After all, this kind of opportunity to please noble people is not available to everyone.

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

Especially the chubby little girl, when she saw him coming, she staggered towards him.

"Big pot, big pot..."

He casually put the spinning wheel at the door, bent down and hugged the little girl up with one hand, Zhao Qi leaned over curiously, and fiddled with this new gadget that his elder brother had brought in.

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

Mi Ji also came over to have a look, but couldn't find any clues, so she couldn't help asking.

"Pedal Spinning Wheel - According to your hand-operated spinning wheel, a craftsman remodeled it, you will try it later to see if it works..."

It actually came out!
I thought my son was just saying it casually, but I didn't expect to actually do it!
I feel relieved and happy in my heart. 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, without having to work so hard..."

Zhao Ying just made a simple gesture, and Mi Ji immediately understood how to use it.Seeing her gesture of stroking over and over, if it wasn't for seeing that the younger sister and younger brother were already hungry, they probably would have to try it themselves before they could eat.

Therefore, this also led to the end of this dinner much faster than before.

Seeing that his auntie, like a child who got a new toy, couldn't wait to get on the spinning wheel and start spinning, Zhao Ying got up with a smile and said goodbye.

I have 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.

In this regard, he is more sober than at any time before time travel.

Xiong Hejing, who followed Zhao Ying for the first time, realized how hard the young man he was following really worked.

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

It is desperate!

They have never seen such a hard-working person, who is so ruthless to themselves, almost refusing to give up until they squeezed themselves to the limit. They watched Zhao Ying exhausted himself, staggered, and then went to the study again, persisting. Read until midnight before falling asleep.

They really couldn't figure out why the young master they were following, the new master, was so desperate despite his status being so noble.However, in his heart, he faintly looked forward to the future of the young master.

Who wouldn't want to follow a promising master!
This also caused Xiong, who got up early the next morning to teach Zhao Ying martial arts, to be more serious than ever.

"What the villain is teaching today is the fighting technique on the battlefield, the real killing technique—"

Xiong holds a long dagger in his hand and has a serious face.

"Different from the swordsmanship you practiced in the past, fighting on the battlefield emphasizes one-hit kills, using the simplest and least labor-saving method possible, and killing the enemy as much as possible. There is no fixed routine, so today, the villain only Talk about the basic movements of exerting force and retracting force, as well as the timing and judgment of attacking and defending..."

Zhao Ying: ...

What am I still thinking about Overlord marksmanship?

That's it!

But, on second thought, does this make sense?On the battlefield, with so many people rushing forward, who is waiting for you to use fancy moves there to see how handsome you are?

On the contrary, this kind of technique of exerting force and unloading force is the real practical skill.

Therefore, on the contrary, I learned more seriously.

Xiong said that there are no routines, but in the real demonstration, he has a lot of skills in his hands. From poking, teasing, reforming, chaining, breaking, and a series of basic movements, Zhao can be heard. Ying couldn't help but be eager to try.
