Chapter 4 I, an old Qin man, should die for the king and fight to the death for Da Qin.
Quarry area.
On the construction site, Zhao Shu came to a medium-sized stone, visually inspected a line, and began to drill holes, occasionally pouring some water on it.
Soon, the nails were driven into the stone. As Zhao Shu hammered them one by one, the stone finally split into two halves.
The cracked part is very neat and only needs some fine repair before it can be used.
"Shaofu, sir, this is how to use it. Using this tool can improve the material output."
After unscrewing the water bag and taking a sip of water, Zhao Shu wiped the sweat from his forehead and introduced him to Zhang Han and Gu.
After leaning over and observing the big stone for a while, Zhang Han pointed to the separated stones: "Cut out this piece and remove the leftover materials."
"promise."
Panting from exhaustion, Zhao Shu had no choice but to put the water bag aside and start chipping away at the stone again.
A quarter of an hour later, the stone block, which was originally neat on one side and jagged on the other sides, was transformed into a long strip with edges and corners under Zhao Shu's digging. Although it was not refined, it was roughly the same.
Zhang Han looked at the scraps on the ground and nodded: "This tool and method can indeed improve the output and avoid adding waste."
"However, this is useful for discharging materials, but it is not very useful for quarrying. Unless there are big nails in the gaps, it will be effective."
Zhang Han was in charge of the Shaofu and knew a lot about the work of craftsmen. He could tell at a glance which aspect this set of tools was suitable for.
Zhang Han saw that Zhao Shu was hesitant to speak, so he spoke decisively and said: "What, is what I said wrong?"
"What the young master said is absolutely true."
Zhang Han's vision was very good. Zhao Shu first nodded in agreement, and then drew a flat figure on the ground, with most of the parts being cylindrical.
"Young Master, if these enlarged nails are used for quarrying and quarrying rocks, for the same reason, the hammer should also be larger."
"You don't need too many nails, just two. You just need to put the flat end into the crack and hammer one end. Firstly, the iron ones can be used for a long time and are not easy to wear. Secondly, the hammer handle should be longer.
, it’s easy to exert effort.”
"If one stick can separate the stone, that's fine. If one stick cannot split the stone, then use another stick to insert into the narrowest part of the gap and hit again."
"In this way, I think we can increase the speed of mining and quarrying. Coupled with small hammers and nails, the supply of stone will be much faster."
What Zhao Shu said is that the reason is actually very simple. The Lishan stone material area is already in use, but no one proposed to turn it into a tool.
Zhang Han nodded. What Zhao Shu said is very feasible. After all, this is just a modified version of using sharp stones to dig into the cracks of rocks to quarry rocks.
Zhang Han knew that not everyone could think of these very simple things. After all, there were so many prisoners and so many young men serving in the army, so why was only Zhao Shu able to think of them?
After thinking about this, Zhang Han opened his mouth and said, "How did you come up with all this?"
"In addition to burying corpses every day, I just stared at the rocks, wondering how to improve the material discharging and mining. I thought too much, and I came up with it in a flash." Zhao Shu's answer was perfect, without any loopholes.
Zhang Han admired Zhao Shu very much, pondered for a while, and said, "When your service is over, do you have any idea of joining my young master's house?"
This is a way to enter the Shaofu, especially if it is professionally matched with Zhao Shu, and entering the Shaofu can be regarded as having the establishment of Da Qin.
However, Zhao Shu knew that after entering the Shaofu, he would have to work hard all his life, and his authority was not high, so he could not do some things. In the end, he would just be a master craftsman.
He wanted to change China and use his talents and knowledge to create the glory of China. Entering the Shaofu could not achieve his goal at all.
Thinking of this, Zhao Shu shook his head: "Thank you so much for your love, the young master. For Shu, entering the young master is a dream come true."
"Logically speaking, Shu should not ignore the high ground and refuse the young master. However, my father-in-law died at the hands of the Zhao people. I want to join the army after my service is over."
"First of all, I, an old Qin man, should die for the king and fight to the death for Great Qin. Secondly, I also want to kill the Zhao army with my own hands to comfort my father's spirit in heaven."
"I also hope that the young master will not blame Zhao Shu for not knowing how to commend him."
"Haha, it's a good thing that young people are so heroic." Zhang Han reached out and patted Zhao Shu: "Go to death for the king and fight to the death for the Qin Dynasty. This is the belief of me, an old Qin man."
"You have such thoughts at such a young age. As a Qin general and a Qin official, I am too late to be happy, so how can I blame you?"
At this point, Zhang Han changed the subject: "In this way, you will be responsible for this quarrying area. If you need anything specific, you can discuss it with Gu, and any reasonable requirements will be met."
"promise."
Watching Zhao Shu leave, Zhang Han turned around and walked outside. He was the young master and rarely stayed here.
"Young Master, this Wu Changshu has a pure heart, which is really rare!" Gu praised him.
"Haha, it's rare!"
Although they are not on the same level, there are some things that Zhang Han doesn't want to talk about, but he knows that this Zhao Shu is not a simple person.
Zhang Han knew clearly that Zhao Shu wanted to avenge his family, and he also wanted to die for the King of Qin and fight to the death for the Qin State.
However, it is definitely not that simple for Zhao Shu not to enter the Shaofu.
Zhao Shu wants to go to the battlefield, and Bo Gonghou will live forever. Now Da Qin and Zhao are at war, and the battlefield is also the best place for the old Qin people to get titles.
Zhang Han didn't care about this. After all, who didn't come from his youth? He was so confident and enthusiastic back then.
As an old Qin man, he always strives for supremacy on the battlefield. It is precisely because of this that Zhang Han values Zhao Shu even more.
This is a restless person.
In this era of broken rites and broken music, only restless people have the possibility to take a chance and change their destiny.
Zhao Shu was promoted.
With Zhang Han's words, he changed from the captain in charge of the first corps to the general person in charge of managing this quarry area.
Here, there are five to six hundred people digging mountains and quarrying rocks. This means that Zhao Shu is equivalent to a five hundred master.
Thinking about the heads he saw all over the mountains and plains yesterday, Zhao Shu knew that such hard work without organization and discipline would have no future.
Zhao Shu called together the corps commanders and chiefs, and held a small meeting to make a clear division of labor for everyone.
Zhao Shu knew that Zhang Han had thick thighs, which suited him very well.
He must try his best to catch it.
"Everyone, we are all one body now. If you fail to complete the assigned tasks, I will inevitably be implicated."
Zhao Shu looked at everyone, smiled, and said: "Everyone is here to serve. When the time comes, we will leave Lishan and return to our hometown."
"Come to think of it, you don't want to have any accidents happen during your service, so you have to end the corvee stipulated by Qin law peacefully."
"So, everyone should cooperate with me and complete every day's tasks. As long as I have a good time, your life will also be good."
"But if it's because of you that my life is difficult, then believe me, your life will never be easy."
