At the northern foot of Lishan Mountain, a group of prisoners were digging into the mountain to quarry stone. The young man's eyes were dull. Half an hour passed before he accepted the reality.
He has traveled through time.
This is the Great Qinli Mountain, which is the construction site of the tomb of the First Emperor, a young man who just arrived this year to serve as a corvee.
Since he was fourteen years old, he had just come of age, and he had inherited the title of Duke from his father who died in battle, so he came to Lishan to serve. The superior gave him an easy job.
The leader of the five prisoners in front of me.
Thinking of this, Zhao Shu couldn't help but smile bitterly. He traveled from the 21st century, a world of feasting and feasting, to the Warring States Period.
Zhao Shu is a very hard-working and talented person. He graduated with doctorate degrees in materials science and mechanical engineering. He started from the bottom and later served as chief engineer to develop a new type of land warfare king.
He became famous at a young age, and a cocktail party sent him to Lishan.
The 19th year of the Qin Dynasty.
This is information obtained from the original memory. Zhao Shu liked the First Emperor very much and had studied this period of history.
In this year, the Qin army defeated the Zhao army and captured Zhao Wangqian. Gongzi Jia ran away from Dai County and established himself as the king of Dai. Also in this year, Zhao Ji died.
Next year, it will be the famous Jing Ke's assassination of the King of Qin, and the snake-skin removal of the Qin King's government.
"Second and Third Sons, don't be lazy. If you fail to complete the task, not only will you lose Mu Shi, but you will also be whipped thirty times!" Zhao Shu scolded him when he came to his senses.
Having arrived at this era, after experiencing the initial panic and uneasiness, Zhao Shu has now perfectly changed his mentality.
Compared to these prisoners, he, as a corps leader, was extremely happy. After all, he didn't have to work, he only needed supervision.
On this project where death is easy, he has a high chance of survival.
Zhao Shu also knew that all this was due to the benefits of the title of Duke earned by his old father who was killed in battle.
"Wu Changshu, twenty loads of stone, how is the progress?" A middle-aged man came over and asked with a smile.
"Brother, we just sent away ten cars, there's still a long way to go!" Looking at the sky, Zhao Shu couldn't help but sigh: "How is the situation over there?"
When people come, they are excited.
He came from the same place as him, and the title his father left him was one level higher than his, that of making a knight.
Therefore, the job assigned to Fen is relatively easy. It is safe to handle the transported logs and there is no need to run back and forth.
Moreover, Fen is not a corps leader, but a senior. Not only does his life become easier, but other benefits are also better.
"Haha, I'm fine over there. I can definitely finish it within the prescribed time." Fen looked at the pale Zhao Shu, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Shu, you look ugly, but are you sick?"
"No, I just have a stomachache." Zhao Shu smiled and said, "Take it easy for a while and you'll be fine."
The two chatted, and after a while, Fen suddenly said in a low voice: "I have received reliable news, and the competition will be held soon. You have to work hard."
"Try to stand out in the competition and change to a more relaxed job. The weather is getting hotter and hotter, so I can spend this summer better."
Fen's words were serious and thoughtful, so Zhao Shu naturally did not disappoint him and quickly answered with a smile: "Thank you for the reminder, brother, Shu will fight for it."
Fenfen left. As a supervisor, he could not stay away for a long time. If he was caught by the patrolling clerk, he would face punishment.
Zhao Shu looked at the prisoners working hard under the scorching sun and couldn't help but shook his head. He didn't want to keep digging mountains and quarrying here.
Moreover, the people who built the mausoleum in Lishan had a lot of fun and were judged for their work. They ate less than chickens, slept later than dogs, and worked more than cows, and they were so busy.
If you go to serve in other places, as long as it's not a battlefield, you basically still have a chance to survive, but here in Lishan, death can be seen every day.
Leaving here alive is Zhao Shu's only thought at the moment.
Walking to the stone area, Zhao Shu frowned. Da Qin had black technology, but it was only used in the army. The tools in the hands of these criminals who dug mountains and quarried stones were extremely primitive.
Moreover, the oldest method of quarrying is to pour water into the cracks in winter and separate them through thermal expansion and contraction. The most common method is to place sharp stones in the cracks and then smash them with stones or burn them with fire.
Then release the water.
In the Lishan quarrying area, all three methods are used, but these three methods are too slow and labor-intensive.
Zhao Shu knew clearly that if he wanted to win the competition and switch to a lighter job, he would need to increase the amount of quarrying. To do well in Lishan, he must not only be able to work, but also contribute to Lishan.
Nail and hammer.
By upgrading the technology, you can increase the amount of stone quarried, but if you want to complete this step, you need a nod from the manager.
After thinking about it for a while, Zhao Shu decided to seek wealth and honor in danger. A small improvement would be fine even if it was corrupted.
He is just a young man serving in the army, not a prisoner. The civil servants in Lishan will not let him die here casually.
"Second and third sons, hurry up and work. What are you looking at? You don't want to eat the evening food?" Zhao Shu scolded and turned around and walked towards the residence of the civil servants.
"Your Majesty, Chief Shu of the quarry area wants to see you." Standing outside the wooden house, Zhao Shu said with a respectful attitude.
Gu came out, looked at Zhao Shu, frowned, and said: "Wu Changshu, you are not supervising the quarry area, why are you here with me?"
"Senior, the quarrying speed is too slow. I have an idea in my mind that maybe I can increase the quarrying speed. I came here to report to my superior."
The first level of officialdom is overwhelming, not to mention that Gu is a Qin official, and he is just a young man serving. In front of Gu, he is as small as dust.
"oh?"
Gu took a look at Zhao Shu and nodded: "It's a good thing to have ideas. Tell me about it. If it's feasible, I'll report it to you."
"Your contribution is indispensable."
"It's all the credit of the superiors. Shu just made a suggestion, and it mainly depends on the superiors to complete it." Zhao Shu still understands the ways of the world.
Seeing that Zhao Shu was so knowledgeable, the indifference on Gu's face dissipated a bit. He also knew that in order to complete the construction of the mausoleum, he needed to rely on the power of these people, so naturally he would not ignore it too much.
Zhao Shu found a branch, drew a diamond-shaped nail on the ground, and then drew a hammer.
"Sir, if we forge ten nails like this and two hammers like this, we can speed up the quarrying."
Zhao Shu drew a stone on the ground, drew a line in the middle, and said towards Gu, "If this is a stone, and with this nail, we can nail it along this line. When the time comes, the two of us will
It can be completed, not only saving prisoners, but by doing this, too much stone will not be wasted, and the stone that comes out will be flat, and it only needs a little adjustment to meet the requirements."
After hearing Zhao Shu's words and comparing it with Zhao Shu's paintings, Gu's eyes lit up. He knew clearly that Zhao Shu's proposal was very feasible.
He took a deep look at Zhao Shu, smiled, and said: "If there is anything else that needs attention or requirements, please put it forward."
