Chapter 41: Meng Xibai (PK, ask for follow-up)
Hearing this, the First Emperor nodded noncommittally.
He was not surprised.
Meng Xi Bai San is the descendant of the three famous generals of Qin Mugong: Meng Mingshi, Xi Qishu, and Bai Yibing. After Qin Mugong, the descendants of the three ethnic groups lived next to each other, and for more than two hundred years, they gradually occupied most of Yixian County, becoming a great family with outstanding military achievements and prestige, and was respected as the hometown of aristocratic cloth and clothing, and the abyss of the knights of Qin.
It was not until after the Shang Dynasty changed the law that the knightly privileges and priority privileges of the three clans of Mengxibai were abolished, and they became the old Qin people who were equal to the Chinese people in farming and warfare, and these three clans began to gradually decline.
Nowadays, the Meng and Xiqi tribes are living a difficult life, and only the Bai tribe is quite good at farming, and they can barely maintain some dignity.
But even so, the influence of the three clans in Great Qin is still deep-rooted and cannot be underestimated.
The kings of all ages have to visit and offer their condolences in person. It's just that although the three clans are declining, they still maintain the pride and glory of their ancestors, and they never accept additional gifts and care from the King of Qin.
For such a group of old men with outstanding military achievements and loyalty, even if the First Emperor had the heart to take care of them, there was nothing he could do.
What's more, today's Huhai?
But the three clans, especially the Meng clan and the Xiqi clan, have had a really difficult life in the past few years, and many families have even had problems with basic clothes and food, in this case, no matter how the three clans choose, he is not surprised.
I sighed with some emotion.
"Prepare, after the autumn hunt, I will personally go over to see those old friends......"
"No—"
Emperor Shi personally visited the old people of the Mengxibai clan every few years, and when he saw the old friends who had fought side by side, Hei had long been accustomed to it.
……
I didn't eat enough at noon, and after going home, Zhao Ying went down to do more than half a pot of mutton.
Taking advantage of the empty time to digest food in the middle, I went to the backyard to look around, and found a meeting with my grandmother who was busy spinning, and stuffed a pork rib with fat mutton for the little chubby sister who was running around the yard, and kindly cared for my brother's study by the way, and thoughtfully stuffed two large rolls of bamboo slips.
"The black hair doesn't know how to study early, and the white head regrets studying late - second brother, you must study early, the boss is sad, study hard, don't let your brother down......"
As he spoke, he accidentally crushed a delicate teacup in front of Zhao Qi.
Zhao Qi: ......
Secretly swallowed saliva.
So, under Zhao Ying's persuasion and Dundun's teaching, Zhao Qi's eyes were red with emotion, he completely put away his slack thoughts, and devoted himself to reading and learning again with full energy.
Zhao Ying felt very relieved.
Educating children, you can convince people, this is what I am best at.
He felt that he was not good enough as an elder brother, and there was still room for improvement, so he had to find an opportunity to go to the school to ask for a few test papers to come back, how could he improve without doing questions.
Back to the back garden.
Sit-up.
push-up
Horizontal bar.
3,000 Steep Obstacle Run!
Warm up with your muscles and bones, and then begin to meticulously train each chopping and stabbing movement 2,000 times each.
Then, practice archery!
Now, although his movements are not as skillful and flexible as those of Astonishing, if he stands still and shoots at the target, his hit rate is also extremely high.
After all, on this, you have a natural advantage bonus.
After a brief practice, I began to earnestly ask for tips and points on shooting moving targets, and then I threw myself into meticulous practice as I did yesterday.
Tomorrow's autumn hunt, he is bound to win the first prize.
But the level is limited, so I can only increase my strength as much as possible. He thought that this afternoon would pass like this, but he didn't expect that when he was eating the afternoon meal, he saw the steward of the house leading two people and walking in with his eyebrows.
He couldn't help but feel a smile on his face.
"The villain has seen the nobleman ......"
Looking at the two blacksmiths and stonemasons behind the picture who looked excited and their faces were a little red with excitement, Zhao Ying smiled and nodded.
"But the stone mill has made progress......
"Nobleman, you are really a god, the water power you said has been grinded! It's done! ”
The stonemason, who had a stone powder on his face and even his eyebrows looked a little gray, excitedly arched his hands again and again, looking at the posture, if it wasn't for the awe of Zhao Ying's identity, he would have rushed over and hugged Zhao Ying's thighs directly.
"The design of the noble man is really ingenious, the hydraulic grinding is really, it is really - the villain is poor in words, I don't know what to say, but it is really convenient, a stone mill, even if a dozen men keep pushing day and night, I am afraid it can't compare to the speed of this hydraulic continuous grinding......"
Zhao Ying nodded.
For this result, he has long known in his heart, compared with ordinary stone mills, the advanced nature of hydraulic continuous grinding is beyond doubt. As long as it can be done, it will definitely be an epoch-making change.
The efficiency is by no means comparable to that of today's stone mills.
"Let's go, let's see—"
Seeing that Xiong and Jing had also finished eating, they put down the dishes and chopsticks and stood up, Zhao Ying also pushed away the dishes and chopsticks in front of him, and stood up with a smile.
On the Fusu Mansion, although there are its own craftsmen, the mansion does not rely on water.
If you want to install a hydraulic continuous mill, you must be outside the grange.
As the eldest son of the first emperor, the grange on the Fusu Mansion not only covers a wide area, the land is fertile, but also the environment is beautiful, and the transportation and irrigation are very convenient.
In addition, it is adjacent to Shanglin Garden on the left and Zhushui on the right, which is not so much a grange as a place for vacation and leisure.
Zhao Ying's hydraulic continuous grinding is located here.
When Zhao Ying arrived with Xiong Hezhen and Tu and the others, several craftsmen were excitedly surrounding the newly built grass hut on the shore, crossing their waists and pointing at a huge water wheel inside.
It wasn't until the steward of the Grange walked over and shouted a shout that they were startled and withdrew their salutes.
The steward of the grange was just about to introduce Zhao Ying, but Zhao Ying waved his hand to stop him. He stepped forward with a smile and pointed to the hydraulic mill that was working on the shore.
"How's that, is this hydraulic continuous grinding any good?"
"Back to the nobleman's words, it's easy to use, it's easy to use, it's easy to use, it's tight-"
Although he didn't know Zhao Ying's identity, but seeing that the steward of the grange had personally brought it over, and was still respectfully serving on the side, this craftsman naturally didn't dare to slack off, and while bowing, he quickly introduced the hydraulic continuous grinding.
"Have you seen these big wheels, just a few gadgets, you can drive nine stone mills, and you don't need a single person, you can spin fast, and you can reach dozens or hundreds of sturdy men......"
"I'm afraid you don't know, all of this is the work of our little boy-"
At the mention of this, the craftsman who replied couldn't help but sigh with a proud look on his face.
"Our little boy is really as wise as the sea, God!"
When Zhao Ying heard this, he was immediately happy.
Oops –
How embarrassing it is.
"Come on, reward!"
