Chapter 31 Patent Theft

Seeing that the county lieutenant and the county magistrate had almost softened, and had also acquiesced to the order to recruit the people, Jiang Beiting breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Nima had long heard in Xianyang that the people of Chu were disobedient, but he didn't expect it to be true, his first order after taking office was almost not issued, it seems that the future will not be easy!

Since neither of them is opposed, Jiangbei Pavilion also packed up his mood and began to arrange and plan, in addition to the people, there are a series of things to be carefully arranged, such as soldier surveillance, tools, food, etc., and logistics support, the people are not slaves, or they still have to eat and drink to survive without damage, otherwise his county order will definitely not be able to mix in Pheasant County, and a few times the villagers have rebelled and spread out, and his county order can be regarded as the end.

According to the order of the Nanyang County Shou, within ten days six thousand people must be recruited, within twenty days must arrive at the designated area to gather, according to the unified planning of Nanyang County to build a gallop, the entire Pheasant County thousands of families will be separated in an instant, perhaps many of them will be buried in the wilderness, but this is the reality, now His Majesty the First Emperor to build the Great Wall, repair the canal and repair the mausoleum, which day there is no death, even if he wants to change this cruel reality, he has a small county order even if he wants to change this cruel reality is more than enough.

But just as the three of them were discussing the details in the lobby, a sudden noisy sound came from the gate of the county office.

Jiangbei Pavilion couldn't help frowning, and Liu Tong, the county leader, hurriedly strode out.

The soldier standing guard at the door was holding a stout middle-aged man with a halberd in his hand, and he was still holding something in his arms, which was very tightly wrapped in linen.

"Who is making such a loud noise in the county office?"

"Lord Liu, this person said that he is a craftsman in Qinghe Town, and he has something very important to report to the county commander." The soldiers hurriedly reported it.

"My lord, my lord, I am Gu Shan, a craftsman from Qinghe Town, and I have transformed a handsaw, which can greatly speed up the logging, so I specially came to report to the county commander!" Gu Shan saw Liu Tong and hurriedly shouted loudly.

"Hand saws? Take it out and take a look? Liu Tong said with a frown.

"Good!" Furuyama hurriedly opened the linen cloth, revealing a brand-new bronze handsaw about one meter long.

Liu Tong picked up the handsaw, looked at it, and returned it to Gushan and said, "How is this different from an ordinary handsaw?" It's just a little longer, as a local craftsman, it's not good to build farm tools all day long to study what these messes are doing, and retreat quickly, otherwise you will be flogged! ”

"Adult~Adult~ Listen to my explanation......"

In the shouts of Gushan, Liu Tong turned his head and walked into the county government hall.

Within ten days, 6,000 people must be recruited, as well as the preparation of grain and grass tools, etc., the pressure on the county government is huge, the county order is only responsible for giving orders, and all arrangements have to be arranged by him as a county man, and because of the summer grain harvest, Liu Tong's mood is quite bad at this time, where is there anything to take care of a craftsman and a saw, unless he can suddenly conjure up thousands of people.

"Liu Xiancheng, what's going on outside?" Jiang Beiting was carefully observing on a stretched linen map, and asked without raising his head.

"It's a craftsman from Qinghe Town, who built a copper saw that is much longer than an ordinary hand saw, and said that the logging speed is much faster than an ordinary hand saw, and his subordinates took a look at it, and didn't find anything different, and he has been sent ......away."

"No, call him in and have a look!" Before Liu finished speaking, Jiang Beiting was stunned for a moment, threw away the map, and hurriedly said loudly.

Belch! Liu Tong didn't know why, and stood a few meters away in confusion.

"Oh, the county is confused, now the construction of the gallop road needs a lot of trees, just need a logging weapon, I have been having a headache about this matter just now, quickly go out and call him in to see, if the effect is really good, this time I can explain the reason to the county guard and recruit less people, so that there will be no delay in the summer grain harvest, and there will be no disobedience to the order......"

"What your lord said is very true, I ...... How I didn't think of it! Liu Tong was stunned for a short time and then hurriedly ran out again, only to find that Gu Shan and the two apprentices had already left on horseback.

"Quick, the county commander has an order, hurry up and chase back the craftsman just now!" Liu Tong hurriedly commanded the two soldiers standing at the door.

"Yes, Lord Liu!" One of the soldiers hurriedly untied a horse from a nearby stake, turned over and chased down the street.

At this time, Gu Shan and his three apprentices were about to arrive at the city gate.

He thought that when he came to the county seat, the county magistrate would pay attention to his inventions, but he didn't expect to be driven away before he saw the county magistrate.

After two consecutive blows, the blacksmith was already disheartened.

It seems that he really shouldn't be too ambitious to expect anything to be famous in Daqin and spread through the ages, Li Dian is right, he is just a small craftsman in Qinghe Town, or should he honestly go back to build farm tools.

But just when Gu Shan was depressed, suddenly a rapid sound of horses' hooves could be heard behind him, and he saw a soldier in cloth armor riding a horse hurrying forward.

"The craftsman in front, the county commander ordered you to go back quickly!"

"Master, the soldiers of the county government seem to be calling us!" An apprentice stretched out his hand and grabbed Gushan's clothes and said.

"What?" Gu Shan stopped his horse and turned back, and saw the soldiers quickly rushing to his side to restrain the horses and said, "The county commander has an order, and I order you to return to the county office with me as soon as possible." ”

Ten minutes later, the county government hall of Pheasant County.

Jiang Beiting looked at the elongated bronze handsaw in his hand, the two pieces of wood that fell to the ground as thick as a waist, and the wood chips all over the ground, and his face showed unusual excitement and surprise.

"Okay, Gushan, this copper saw you improved is very good, the logging speed is indeed several times faster than that of ordinary hand saws, and it is very labor-saving, with this thing, it seems that the matter of recruiting people is much easier this time, by the way, how did you come up with this improvement method?" Jiangbei Pavilion's face was a little red with excitement, and the county lieutenant and the county magistrate were also very excited when they stood next to him.

They have also seen the process of sawing wood just now, if they can be equipped with a large number of this kind of improved hand saws, at least one-third to one-fifth fewer people will be recruited, that is to say, the scale of 6,000 people can be completely reduced to less than 2,000 people, and the construction period will not be delayed, and they can also rotate home, so that the summer grain harvest in the entire Pheasant County will hardly be affected, which is completely the best of both worlds.

"This ......" Gu Shan struggled in his heart for a long time before he said, "Villain...... The villain only thought of it occasionally, and it took many trials and errors to finally achieve this effect! ”

"Master!" An apprentice behind him couldn't help but pull Gu Shan's clothes, but he secretly stopped him.
