Daqin: Compared with his sons, Ying Zheng is jealous

The common people from all over the country, who had been pounding rice to make noodles and whose arms were sore from pounding

, were delighted and praised Xiang Liji for inventing a more convenient and easy-to-use treadle pestle.

"Hehehe, this treadle is a really good thing!"

"With this treadle, you don't have to pound rice by hand anymore."

"Pounding rice by hand is not only time-consuming and laborious, but your arms will get sore after pounding for a while."

"Now you can use your feet to pound the rice, which is much more convenient."

"And what is the most important thing?"

"The most important thing is that this treadle pestle is not like a plow, a curved plow, or a pedal-operated loom. Even if we see it, we can't understand it, let alone make it. We have to find a carpenter or other craftsman to make it."

"For example, I can make a pestle by myself at home!"

"Thank you, His Royal Highness Crown Prince Fusu, and thank you, Lord Xiangli Ji!"......

The common people from all over the world thanked Prince Fusu and Xiangli Ji while putting down the pestles in their hands.

Then they went to find various long wooden boards or long wooden sticks to make a treadle.

After all, there is really no technical difficulty in making a treadle. To put it bluntly, it is a thing that uses the same lever principle as a seesaw. The overall structure is just a lever and a fulcrum.

At most, it is the most labor-saving position of the fulcrum of this lever, which requires the common people to test it several times.

Even some of the common people who moved faster, in just a moment, have imitated a treadle similar to the one on the sky.

In Xianyang City, other doctors of various schools of thought looked at Xiangli Ji, who was once again proud, and couldn't help but spit on Xiangli Ji, the lucky dog thing, in their hearts.

Strictly speaking, there was no treadle in their world before.

And in the future, the person who invented the treading pestle in their world may still be Xiang Liji. It is possible that someone else will suddenly have a flash of inspiration in the future and invent the treading pestle, which is also very likely.

But after the"Xiang Liji" on the sky invented the treading pestle, even if the Xiang Liji in their world had not invented the treading pestle before.

After that, it became the treading pestle"invented" by Xiang Liji in their world.

This behavior of not doing anything, directly rubbing the light of another"self" on the sky, and then being able to share the glory with another"self" on the sky is really shameless!

However, it is also too enviable and jealous!

Why doesn't the other"self" on the sky jump out quickly, and then make a series of achievements that shock the first emperor and benefit the people of the world, and finally let them share the glory of another"self".

They really want to experience the feeling of being carried away by another"self"!

Today is another day for other philosophers and doctors to miss another"self" on the sky.

Xiang Liji, who was standing by, seemed to have sensed the complaints of the other doctors of various schools of thought, and laughed:

"Are you envious?"

"Don’t be envious yet, because I think I might invent another object later."

"After I invent another object, it won’t be too late for you to envy me!"

Xiang Liji said this because Prince Fusu and others on the sky curtain had just improved the rice pounding tools needed for the step of husking rice.

There was still the step of grinding wheat into flour, which had not been improved.

Prince Fusu and others would certainly not be satisfied with just improving the step of pounding rice to husk, and there would definitely be improvements on how to grind wheat into flour later.

And the person who was able to make improvements under the advice of Prince Fusu, Xiang Liji estimated that nine out of ten times it was another"self" on the sky curtain.

This was also why Xiang Liji said that"himself" might invent another object later. The reason for the incident.

Hearing Xiang Liji's completely shameless words, the other doctors of the Hundred Schools glared at him, but Xiang Liji smiled more and more proudly.

Seeing this, the other doctors of the Hundred Schools, excluding the Confucianists, once again determined to unite and beat up the Mohist disciples, especially Xiang Liji, after the sky curtain ended. At the same time, the other doctors of the Hundred Schools also looked up at the sky curtain, and each of them kept praying in their hearts that the next person to invent and improve would not continue to be Xiang Liji, the bastard.

For this reason, they are willing to exchange ten years of Xiang Liji's life for the realization of this wish!

【After solving the problem of arms getting tired easily from pounding rice, everyone's eyes were focused on the stone mill, thinking about how to use their feet to drive the stone mill to grind and rotate back and forth.】

【However, unlike pounding rice, which is a circular up-and-down pounding motion, the stone mill is a back-and-forth rolling motion.】

【It is not impossible to use your feet to drive the stone mill to grind back and forth, but it is more troublesome to implement it in the way that Xiangli Ji and other Mohist disciples thought of.】

【Simply put, it is necessary to achieve this through multiple transmission link devices.】

【However, such a complex transmission link device is not conducive to popularization and use among the people.】

【Prince Fusu looked at the stone mill in front of him and tried it out.】

【However, because he was not familiar with the back-and-forth rolling motion of the stone mill, he lost his balance and fell forward, and even the flat mill in his hand flew out of his hand.】

【When everyone saw Prince Fusu fall, they cried out in surprise and quickly gathered around him.】

【Prince Fusu shook his head and said softly,"I'm fine, I was just careless for a moment."】

【Then Prince Fusu looked at the flat roller that had just been released from his hand again, and saw that the flat roller used the wooden handle as a fulcrum and rotated back and forth on the ground for several circles before stopping.】

【When Crown Prince Fusu saw this scene, his eyes became brighter and brighter, and he suddenly smiled and said,"I figured it out!"】

【"I figured out how to improve the millstone!"】

【Then Prince Fusu expressed his idea:"Use the hand-held wooden pole as the fulcrum of the stone mill and change it from vertical to horizontal."】

【"Then add a long handle to the stone mill, then put wheat under the stone mill, and finally let people or livestock push the stone mill handle to drive the stone mill to rotate in a circle, so that the wheat can be gradually ground into flour."】

【"If this flat stone mill is made bigger, it can grind more wheat at a time."】

【Then Prince Fusu dipped his finger in water and drew a rough sketch of a new stone mill on the ground.】

【Then, Xiangli Ji and other Mohist disciples, who were very excited, began to make new stone mills according to the sketch drawn by Prince Fusu.】

【Soon, a new stone mill about one foot in size, lying flat and pushed by a person was initially completed.】

【Then everyone put some wheat on the new stone mill to grind it. However, the result of the experiment can only be said to be effective. It can indeed grind wheat into flour.】

【At the same time, your hands won't be tired. After all, the power to push the new stone mill comes from your feet. Even if you don't hold the mill handle with your hands, you can just use your body to pull the mill handle forward and turn it.】

【The only problem was that the new mill wasn't as efficient as everyone thought, and the wheat would occasionally run out of the edge.】

【Afterwards, Xiangliji discussed it with Crown Prince Fusu and made some improvements to the new stone mill.】

【First, a certain number of inclined grooves were carved into the new stone mill to increase the friction of the rolling.】

【Then a hole was opened in the center of the new stone mill to facilitate the delivery of wheat and other crops at any time】

【Then he changed the new stone mill from one to two, overlapping them, and so on.】

【After many improvements, the new stone mill finally had regular grooves in the upper and lower millstones, which were deep in the middle and shallow outside, with a certain gap in the middle.】

【When the wheat goes down, it will first follow the carved inclined channel into the gap in the middle part.】

【Then, as the upper roller rotates, the gaps between the wheat and the ground become smaller and smaller, and the wheat is quickly ground into powder.】

【Looking at the new stone mill, which has a grinding efficiency dozens or hundreds of times higher than the original stone mill, Prince Fusu nodded with satisfaction. This is the new stone mill he wanted.】

【"Good! Great! The grinding speed of the new stone mill is much faster than the old one."】

【"And the new stone mill���No need to work hard, just pull it by hand"】

【"Even if you have cattle, donkeys or other livestock at home, you can use them to pull the cart instead."】

【After Xu Zi pulled the new stone mill himself for a while, he looked at the new stone mill with full of admiration.】

【With the new stone mill and the previous treading pestle, it will no longer be difficult for ordinary people to have a meal of noodles in the future.】

【Then Xu Zi seemed to have thought of something, looked at Prince Fusu and said:"This thing is very different from the old stone mill. If it is called a new stone mill, it may easily confuse people."】

·········Request flowers···········

【"Please give it a new name to distinguish it from the original stone mill."】

·········Request flowers···········

【Prince Fusu looked at Xiangli Ji again and said,"This item was mainly made by Shangshu Xiangli and other Mohist disciples. Let Shangshu Xiangli continue to name it."】

【But this time Xiang Liji shook his head and said:"Although this thing was made by us, but without the idea provided by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, we would not be able to make it."】

【"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was the one who played a crucial role in inventing this thing, so it is most appropriate for him to name it."】

【Seeing that Xiangli Ji and other Mohist disciples were determined to give him the opportunity to be named, Prince Fusu could not refuse and chose to accept it.】

【Looking at the new stone mill in front of him, Prince Fusu thought for a moment and said,"The upper and lower millstones are shaped like plates, and they are mainly used for grinding, so they should be called grinding plates."】

【Xu Zi, Xiang Liji and others silently repeated the new name given by Prince Fusu several times, and all nodded. The name Mopan was also very suitable. As soon as they heard it, they roughly knew its function and image.】

【After Prince Fusu and Xiangli Ji and others had improved the tools for pounding rice to remove the shell and grinding it into flour, King Ying Zheng of Qin once again rewarded Xiangli Ji and other farmers and Mohists who participated in the improvement.】

【Although Qin Wang Ying Zheng also felt that since the six departments of the Ministry of Agriculture came, he had been constantly rewarding the children of farmers and Mohists.】

【However, the principle of the Qin State has always been to reward meritorious service and punish faults, and the achievements made by the peasant children and the Mohist children are actually beneficial to the Qin State and the people.】......................................

【Therefore, even though King Qin Ying Zheng felt that he had rewarded the children of farmers and Mohists many times before, after seeing that the children of farmers and Mohists had made achievements and improved the tools, King Qin Ying Zheng had to reward them again.】

【Of course, since the idea of this improvement mainly came from Prince Fusu, and there were also many children from farming families and Mohist schools who participated in the reform.】

【So King Qin Ying Zheng did not grant him a title again this time, but only gave him a lot of meat, rice and wheat.】

【After all, the title of Qin is of high value, and King Ying Zheng of Qin does not want to let Qin���The title has become too common】

【However, King Qin Ying Zheng estimated that if the situation continued to develop in this way, then in the future, all the children of farmers and Mohists would become one noble per person.】

【However, in a situation like this, King Qin Ying Zheng thought about it and didn't care.】

【Because of the principle of"reward for merit and punishment for fault" in the Qin State, the children of farmers and Mohists were able to be granted titles, which must be because they had made contributions that were beneficial to the Qin State and the people.】

【Then he would grant titles to the sons of farmers and Mohists.】

【The benefits of the Qin State's granting of titles were negligible compared to the benefits created by the peasants and Mohists.】

【For example, if the Qin State could increase its grain production by one dan per capita due to the inventions and improvements made by the Mohist disciples and the agricultural disciples,】

【Then the Qin State will be able to increase grain production by millions of shi!】

【The Qin State granted titles to a group of farmers' sons and Mohist disciples. How much salary did it need to spend in a year?】

【Maybe all the salary added up won’t even be 10,000 shi!】

【Compared with the expenditure of 10,000 dan of salary and the harvest of millions of dan of grain, the Qin State and the King of Qin made a lot of money!】

【Therefore, the conferring of titles on the sons of farmers and Mohists was strictly carried out in accordance with the Qin State's principle of"rewarding those who have made contributions and punishing those who have committed mistakes". King Ying Zheng of Qin simply wished that as many sons of farmers and Mohists as possible would be conferred titles.】

【Because in this way, the benefits that Qin can obtain from the children of farmers and Mohists will be greater.】

【Thinking of this, King Qin Ying Zheng looked at the peasant children and Mohist children with increasing satisfaction.】

【The peasants and Mohists who only received meat, rice and wheat as rewards from King Qin did not think that King Qin was evil-hearted. Instead, they were very happy with the rewards they received.】

【It just so happened that they hadn’t had enough of the noodles made by the farmers of Baicao Division.】

【Now that they have the meat, rice and wheat given by the King of Qin, they can make a treadle and a millstone by hand, and then grind flour and make noodles.】

【Thinking of this, the children of the farmers and Mohists looked at King Qin Ying Zheng with more gratitude.】

【This wave is a two-way rush between Qin King Ying Zheng and the children of the peasant family and the children of the Mohist school. 】Spoon.
