Li Xing thought for a moment and replied, "It's okay." ”

Isn't shelling all made of stone mortars and water mills?

What's so hard about it?

Although Li Xing hadn't done it himself, he probably still knew.

Wait a minute.

Li Xingzheng fiddled with the hand of the gun, quickly took his eyes off the gun, and looked up at Chu Ze, his gaze gradually becoming deeper.

If he remembers correctly, what this man is best at is the invention and manufacture of all kinds of instruments, right?

He asked this all of a sudden......

"Do you have a better idea? What it is, say it quickly! Li Xing looked at Chu Ze with burning eyes.

Ticked.

Chu Ze smiled triumphantly.

Judging from Li Xing's love for guns, this person must be very interested in what he has created.

As for why it started with agriculture, it was because of the identity of the other party.

As the crown prince and the future prince, Li Xing should be interested in things that can develop national strength.

Unless he does not pay attention to agricultural development.

Even if he doesn't pay attention to agriculture, industry, weapons, and mineral veins, there is always something that interests him, right?

Who knew that the good start instantly attracted Li Xing's attention.

Chu Ze proudly raised his chin and said, "Naturally." ”

"Want to hear it?" Chu Ze proudly shook Li Xing.

Li Xing immediately nodded: "Say it quickly!" ”

Chu Ze didn't say it immediately, but took out a pen and paper first, and then walked to Li Xing and sat down, and said to him while drawing: "The current rice husking is basically carried out with tools such as stone and water mills, although there are also mules and horses to replace manpower, but after all, it is still slower." ”

"Otherwise, what?"

Apart from cows, horses, and people, there is only water left.

They have water to drive the country, but they still need manpower or livestock to drive it.

What else can be used besides these?

Chu Ze's subordinates are like flying, and the kind of pen that falls into the storm.

After painting, Chu Ze put down the pen, dried the ink, picked it up, and showed it to Li Xing: "Of course, it is also manpower, but with this method, in the past, a person could scoop one rose stone rice a day, then with this he can scoop one and a half stones, or even two stones." In the past, it took a day to scoop rice, but it only takes half a day to use it, and the remaining half a day can be used to do other things, isn't it a lot of time? ”

Li Xing nodded.

Chu Ze's meaning, he understood, but what Chu painted ......

"What is this?" Li Xing took it, looked up and down, looked left and right, but didn't see what it was.

This mess, like a mess, like a mess, Li Xing seriously suspected that Chu Ze was fooling himself.

The confusion on Li Xing's face was too obvious, and Chu Ze was embarrassed for a moment.

He forgot that his paintings of the Ideorate School could only be understood by Yingtian's masters.

Li Xing has not undergone "learning" and cannot understand it.

"Ahem, this is called gear, use these shafts to drive the gears, let the machinery move, and then drive the stone in front of it, so that it will automatically rise and fall, and the rice will be hulled." After Chu Ze finished explaining, he looked at Li Xing and asked, "Do you understand?" ”

Li Xing shook his head honestly.

What Chu Ze said was too abstract for him to imagine at all.

And his paintings, which are simply heavenly books.

He is even thinking now, if Kang Cheng won the bet between Kang Cheng and Chu Ze at the beginning, would they really understand the picture drawn by Chu Ze?

If you can't understand it, isn't it for nothing?

Li Xing looked at Chu Ze's serious expression, was silent for a moment, and said sincerely: "Otherwise, you should make it for me to see." ”

Just listening to Chu Ze, Li Xingru listened to the book of heaven.

Chu Ze: "Okay." ”

Isn't it just a model, meaningless?

Chu Ze agreed without hesitation.

He asked Zhao Si to get him some wood, and then asked for a knife, and began to carve one by one.

Li Xing sat across from him, glancing at it from time to time.

After reading it, he withdrew his gaze with little interest and continued to study the gun in his hand.

It's just a matter of carving a few gears, and it's not a big problem.

The big problem is the occlusion of the gears.

This requires a high level of finesse.

Fortunately, Chu Ze is just making a model, as long as he can move, the problems next to him can be ignored.

Even so, it took Chu Ze several days to get the model ready.

At this time, they also arrived in Quanzhou.

Because of the hurry, Chu Ze did not stay in Quanzhou for long, but only sent Zhu Biao's letter to the prefect of Quanzhou, greeted him, and immediately asked him to arrange a ship to go to Ryukyu.

On the boat Chu Ze...... Chu Ze didn't expect to be seasick.

When he got off the boat, he was directly stunned like a dog.

Li Xing and Zhao Siyi, who pretended to be concubines, supported him left and right, similar to helping a dead dog, Chu Ze was so dizzy that his brain was about to ferment, and he vomited in the dark on the boat, and he couldn't wait to close his eyes and float directly when he walked at this time.

As soon as the noisy gongs and drums in his ears were noisy, Chu Ze felt that his brain was about to explode.

He frowned and opened his eyes, and saw a group of people dressed in very local characteristics, singing and dancing around him.

"This is here to greet you." Through the cover of the veil, Li Xing leaned into Chu Ze's ear and said quickly.

Chu Ze's body was weak and weak, leaning weakly on Chu Ze's body.

Hearing Li Xing's words, he barely bothered to stand up.

Spit on his bloodless face, raised a reluctant smile, and waved softly at these Ryukyu people.

At the back of this performance team, a middle-aged man in a Ryukyu official uniform was squinting at Chu Ze.

After coming, he asked Kang Cheng.

Kang Cheng said that Chu Zeqi was very cunning, so he must be careful.

can look at the person in front of him, and he clearly looks like he has been sucked up by the fox spirit.

Cunning?

He really didn't see it.

The color of the wine is about the same.

He shifted his gaze to the side and looked contemptuously at the woman beside Chu Ze.

Although the other party is wearing a veil, it is difficult for people to see the true face.

But those star-bright eyes are enough to ecstasy. Pointing to the strange and somewhat familiar figure, he suddenly wanted to see what the face hidden behind the veil looked like.

The song and dance stopped.

This person immediately restrained all his emotions of contempt, contempt, and so on.

With a smile on his face, he greeted Chu Ze enthusiastically: "Xiaguan and the Ryukyu Grand Commander Wan Qianshen learned that Lord Chu arrived in Ryukyu today, and at the order of my king, he specially came to greet him. ”

The Daisho Decree was an official position established by the Ryukyus to welcome foreign envoys.

Although he is generally only responsible for reception, his status is not low, and he is one of the important officials in the imperial court.

It was more than enough to greet Chu Ze.

Chu Ze pulled away his smiling face and cheered up to greet the other party.

"Lord Wan, I'm tired. Today, under the holy order of His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, this official came to Ryukyu to contact the friendship between the two countries, and to come for the mineral veins. By the way, what about those people who came before our Ming Dynasty? Why haven't you seen any of them? Chu Ze raised his eyes and looked around. (End of chapter)
