Chapter 846 The Rivers, Lakes, Seas, Sun, Moon, Mountains and Rivers Should All Serve as Corvée Laborers for the Qin Dynasty! Even without Money, You Can Still Work Like a Ghost!

Ying Zheng stared at the water-powered stone mill in front of him, his legs unconsciously stepped onto the steps, and he murmured:

"The water keeps flowing, the mill keeps turning!"

"The mill keeps turning, the powder keeps coming out!"

"Using water as a corvée, the workmanship is beyond nature!"

Whether it is the Chang'an car, the Chang'an plow or the blast furnace, the shock they brought to Ying Zheng was far less than that of the flat-wheel water mill in front of him.

Chang'an car, Chang'an plow and other things did save a lot of manpower, but they still used human power as the main power source after all.

However, the power source of the flat-wheel water mill in front of him has changed from human power to natural power!

In the process of grinding, people changed from power providers to auxiliary supervisors.

This not only greatly saves manpower, but also opens the door to a new world for Ying Zheng.

Everything in Daqin should obey my orders.

I can command the people of Daqin to serve me, so why can't I command the rivers, lakes, seas, sun, moon and mountains of Daqin to serve me? !

After opening his mind, Ying Zheng suddenly found that his mobilization of the power of the Qin Dynasty was far from enough!

Han Cang did not think so much and so far.

He rushed past Ying Zheng like a gust of wind and rushed to the edge of the stone mill.

First, he picked up a handful of slag powder with his fingers, rubbed it with two fingers to feel its particle size, and then grabbed a large handful of slag powder and clenched his palm into a fist!

The fine slag powder slipped from the trembling fist, and Han Cang shouted excitedly: "This is a sharp weapon for the prosperity of the country!"

"It is also a sharp weapon for the prosperity of the country!"

"Chang'an Jun!" Han Cang suddenly turned his head to look at Ying Chengjiao, and asked eagerly: "If there is no one who is favored by heaven and earth, can this thing be built?"

Ying Chengjiao said speechlessly: "It's just a flat wheel water mill, what kind of favor does it take?"

"Did you see the wooden wheel under the bridge?"

"The wooden wheel under the bridge..."

Before Ying Chengjiao finished speaking, he saw Han Cang rush to the side of the bridge, sticking his head out and trying to look down.

However, the underbridge structure, which was greatly reinforced for the sake of strength, blocked Han Cang's sight.

After estimating the distance between the bridge and the water, Han Cang jumped off the bridge with a ruthless heart!

Ying Chengjiao cried out in shock: "Han Shangqing!"

"Help!"

While shouting, Ying Chengjiao rushed to the side of the bridge in two steps, and then stepped onto the railing in the air, exerted force on the muscles of his right leg, and urged his body to jump into the water!

Ying Zheng, who was immersed in the new world, was awakened by the sound of Han Cang falling into the water, and saw the scene of Ying Chengjiao jumping into the water.

In horror, Ying Zheng shouted in a panic: "Help!"

While shouting, Ying Zheng also ran to the side of the bridge, but was hugged by Lü Buwei and Wei Zhuang with both arms.

"Your Majesty, you can't jump!"

"Your Majesty, believe in Chang'an Jun! Chang'an Jun has already jumped into the water, you can't jump again!"

Dragging Lü Buwei and Kuai Zhuang, Ying Zheng walked to the bridge step by step, and saw Ba Fu, Gua Fu, Meng Yi, Wang Bo and dozens of others jumping into the river together, and Ying Chengjiao had already grabbed Han Cang by the back of his neck.

Ying Zheng was relieved and shook off Lü Buwei and Kuai Zhuang.

"Let me go!" Han Cang stared at the wooden wheel under the bridge with burning eyes, and shouted fanatically: "I can swim! I won't drown! Let me take a closer look! Look carefully!"

Ying Chengjiao shouted angrily: "Get ashore first!"

After being pulled by everyone, Han Cang was finally pulled ashore.

But after getting ashore, Han Cang's eyes were still fixed on the wheel under the bridge, his eyes were full of enthusiasm and sudden realization: "The water wheel below this flat-wheel water mill and the stone mill above are connected by a wooden stick."

"The water flow drives the wooden wheel to rotate, the wooden wheel drives the wooden stick to rotate, and the wooden stick drives the stone mill to rotate."

"So that's it! So that's it!"

"Such a wonderful creation is so simple!"

"Chang'an Jun is so talented! Great talent!"

When Han Cang first saw the flat-wheel water mill, Han Cang's worldview was trembling.

Han Cang even thought that Ying Chengjiao was driving the mountain gods and water ghosts to help him push the mill.

It wasn't until Han Cang jumped into the water and saw with his own eyes that the wooden wheel rotated rapidly under the action of the water flow, and saw that the wooden stick driving the stone mill rotated synchronously under the drive of the wooden wheel, that Han Cang finally realized it.

It turned out that all this was so simple!

Suddenly, Han Cang's front collar was grabbed by Ying Chengjiao.

With great force, Ying Chengjiao lifted Han Cang up and roared angrily: "Do you know that I deliberately closed the front bank to make the water flow faster here?"

"The rapids hit the wheels, and multiple wheels are turning at the same time."

"Once Han Shangqing is caught in the wheel, he will die here in an instant!"

"Han Shangqing, do you want to die?!!"

Having solved the doubts in his heart, Han Cang finally looked at the rushing water and realized how fast the wooden wheel was turning!

Although Han Cang can swim, he is old after all.

If Ying Chengjiao and others hadn't rescued him, once Han Cang was caught in the chaotic water flow near the wooden wheel, he would have been churned into a piece of minced meat by the wooden wheel today!

A strong fear surged in his heart. Looking at Ying Chengjiao who was soaked all over, Han Cang said with gratitude and shame: "I know I was wrong!"

"Thank you, Lord Chang'an, for saving my life!"

"I will be more cautious in the future and will never be so reckless as today!"

Han Cang's sincere attitude of admitting his mistakes made Ying Chengjiao not know what to scold him for.

Releasing his hand and smoothing the wrinkles on Han Cang's collar, Ying Chengjiao persuaded him: "The current Great Qin is at a critical period. If Han Shangqing is not in charge of the grain management office, who can control so much money and grain for our Great Qin?"

"And I grew up watching Han Shangqing. In my heart, Han Shangqing is really my elder."

"If Han Shangqing dies due to the craftsmanship I developed, I will regret it for the rest of my life."

"I hope Han Shangqing will be stingy with himself!"

Han Cang was moved and ashamed at the same time. He raised his hands and said: "My lord, I know I was wrong!"

Seeing from afar that Ying Chengyu still had the strength to carry people, Ying Zheng breathed a sigh of relief. His feet were still running wildly, but he shouted an order in his mouth: "Quickly go get the clothes and give them to all your beloveds!"

"Brother Wang! Han Shangqing! Are you okay?"

Ying Chengyu shook his head and said warmly: "Brother is fine, brother, don't worry."

Han Cang bowed his hands and saluted again, and said with shame: "I am fine, King Lao is worried!"

Ying Zheng finally ran to stand in front of Ying Chengyu.

After carefully confirming that there were no wounds on Ying Chengyu's body, Ying Zheng immediately ordered: "Brother Wang, change your clothes first!"

Then Ying Zheng looked at Han Cang and hated him for not arguing: "Han Shangqing!"

"I know that Han Shangqing cares about the people of the Qin Dynasty, but he must not be so impulsive and reckless!"

Even if Aiqing wants to jump into the river, she can't do it in front of the king's brother!

If my beloved dies, I will be heartbroken.

But if my beloved touches the king's younger brother, I will be in pain and wish to live!

Han Cang raised his head and looked at Ying Zheng with eager eyes: "Your Majesty, I have no choice but to be impulsive!"

"I have just looked at it carefully. Although this flat-wheel water mill is ingenious, its structure is quite simple."

"With the strength of our Da Qin official workshop craftsmen, we can completely build it ourselves!"

Ying Zheng was overjoyed and quickly looked at Ying Chengxuan and said, "Brother Wang, is this really the case?"

Ying Chengyu had just taken off his soaked linen clothes, and while wiping his majestic and muscular body with the silk cloth handed over by the fortune teller, he asked, "How many people in our Great Qin eat noodles?"

The significance of stone mill is to grind lumps into powder, and its main function in folk use is to grind flour!

Nowadays, people have long added water to flour and kneaded it into dough, then put the dough into a pot to cook, and then put it into various soups to eat.

But for the vast majority of Guizhou people in this era, having enough to eat is the most important thing, and whether they eat well or not is not at all a consideration.

Not to mention how much manpower it takes to grind rice into powder, the grain and millet husks wasted during the grinding process are far beyond the endurance limit of most Guizhou people in the world!

Han Cang said repeatedly: "There are indeed not many noodle eaters in our country."

"But I, Da Qin, can sell noodles to other countries and earn a lot of money!"

Ying Zheng, Lu Buwei and other Qin monarchs and ministers all nodded in agreement.

There are indeed not many people in Da Qin who can afford noodles, but there are many people in Qi who can afford noodles.

If Daqin can develop flour technology, flour will surely become a major advantageous industry for Daqin to earn foreign exchange through exports in the future!

However, Ying Chengyu shook his head: "There is no need to put precious people's energy into making money from other countries."

"The Japanese will take all the money from other countries!"

Han Cang:......

Great Qin Junchen:...

What he said makes sense!

I was speechless!

After changing to a new silk cloth and wiping his wet hair, Ying Chengxuan said seriously: "If we really want to expand the people's power and build facilities, I think it is better to build a flat-wheel water mill instead of a flat-wheel water mill."

Ying Zheng's heart suddenly heated up: "Water power can not only be used for grinding rice, but it can also be used for grinding rice?"

Ying Cheng nodded and said: "Although grinding and grinding are different, the principles of water grinding and water grinding are the same."

"The water wheel under the bridge is also used to drive the wooden stick, and then a horizontal wooden pole is connected to the wooden stick, and the end is connected to a thin stone mill."

"The rotation of the water wheel can drive the stone mill to rotate around the mill plate."

"Then dig a groove on the grinding plate according to the rotating path of the stone mill, and place the corn in the groove to achieve the effect."

As Ying Chengyun finished speaking, the scene fell into silence.

Even Meng Yi and other ministers constructed images in their minds, trying to verify the feasibility of Ying Chengyu's words.

After ten breaths, Qi Ai said decisively: "It works!"

“Although the flat-wheel water mill is a little more complicated than the flat-wheel water mill, it is absolutely feasible!”

As a craftsman who will be the master masonry of Shaofu and build the flat-wheel water mill, Qi Ai's words are particularly firm.

Han Cang didn't know whether he was cold or excited, his whole body was visibly shaking, and he murmured: "If this thing can be used to grind rice, how much manpower can it save for Da Qin?!"

Ying Zheng and all the Qin monarchs and ministers were all immersed in beautiful fantasies.

But Ying Chengyu seemed to be afraid that the hearts of the Qin monarchs and ministers would be too healthy, so he spoke again: "If you use flat wheels to grind rice, the requirements for the water flow are higher."

"In places where the water flow is slow, a vertical wheeled water dredger (duì) can be built to pound rice."

Ying Zheng's eyes slowly widened, and he asked in disbelief: "Our Great Qin can still collect water and pound rice?!"
