Chapter 18 The New Saw
Ying Gao naturally couldn't explain the principles of mechanics to this official. Moreover, as a liberal arts student, he could figure it out, and it would be better if he could figure it out. If he wanted to explain it clearly, it would be more difficult than climbing to the sky.
He just wanted the man to quickly make this new saw and prove what he said with practice. As for the explanation, he never thought about it. After all, this is an era that only seeks results.
What Yinggao really wants is to use the saws that are just useless in this era. As long as the improved saw can quickly saw large and small wood into a flat section like later generations, I don’t know how much time it will save.
Although he did not want to really spend all his energy on building the new palace, the first three axes are still very important. At least he should make the First Emperor feel at ease and be able to do what he wants to do in the future. And this improved saw is just a small move among his three axes.
"I would be great if someone could monitor Yan Le for me!" Thinking of the official he summoned subconsciously wanted to object after hearing his request, Ying Gao knew that Yan Le must be monitoring him. In this huge Xianyang City, any major move he had almost never hidden from him.
If this continues, Ying Gao will obviously have no secrets except in his mansion. He urgently needs to counter Yan Le and Zhao Gao's means, but at this time, he was alone, but could only stare at him. Thinking of this, Ying Gao began to envy the team of reliable guards behind Fusu. In addition to the four guards in the mansion, he and his two personal guards had some three-legged kung fu skills, he was the maids in the house.
This situation made Ying Gao sigh. No matter what era, this talent is extremely important. If he comes up, there will be a No. 100 master around him. He doesn’t have any tricks to deal with Yan Le.
He stared at the floor in the mansion with a sad face for a while, Ying Gao suddenly changed his expression, and a look of hope appeared on his face.
The next day, the sky had just turned bright. Ying Gao, who had been performing a new action exercise with Feng Qing last night, had not yet opened his eyes, and the guards outside the door came to report that the official who was summoned by Ying Gao to the mansion yesterday was here again.
Hearing that man was coming, Ying Gao Yigu got up from the couch, patted Feng Qing's butt, who was still asleep, and quickly walked towards the front hall.
Although he knew the principle, he did not execute it himself, so he was not sure about the improvement effect of the saw. If he failed, he had to start from other aspects. In this case, he was obviously eager to see how the modified saw was.
This time, the official brought four or five people, and saw him carrying two slightly smaller saws in his hand, while the person behind him was carrying two larger ones, one of which was as long as one. Obviously, he transformed all the saws of large and small according to Ying Gao's instructions. This was what Ying Gao was willing to see, and he also took more care of this person.
"Have you ever tried it with wood?" Ying Gao asked first.
"No, but I brought the wood and just showed it in front of the young master!" The official was also afraid that the new saw would be unusable, so he dared not try it. After making it overnight, he hurriedly got it in front of Ying Gao's body. It was still very warm at this time.
At this moment, several woods of varying thickness were carried to Ying Gao's face. The official first sawed a smaller saw and sawed it towards a thinner wood.
Ying Gao held his breath and saw that the wood was sawed into two sections by it. There were a pile of tiny wood chips on the ground, with a very flat section.
"How about it before?" Ying Gao asked impatiently.
"Young master, great talent, this saw has been changed by the young master, I don't know how much stronger it is!" Obviously, the official was also very excited. The small change has improved so much efficiency, which he never expected before.
"Try those bigger ones quickly..."
After another attempt by two big men, Ying Gao finally concluded that his move was successful.
"Hold these tools and follow me to the palace!"
Ying Gao had already thought of the follow-up actions and just waited for the experiment to succeed. Now it was done. He hurriedly took his things and officials to the palace to meet the First Emperor. In addition to being afraid of being taken first by others, it would be impossible for the mass production of this saw to be without the consent of the First Emperor.
The fact was just as Ying Gao thought. The First Emperor was very surprised by his ability. After appreciating him, he agreed to Ying Gao's proposal and ordered as many new saws as possible within three days so that they could be put into use after the arrival of the serviceman who built the new palace.
After pursuing this worry, Ying Gao was about to pack his bags. In two days, the first two thousand serving people will arrive at the location of the Weinan New Palace. As the only supervisor this time, Ying Gao is equivalent to the general manager of this huge project. Whether other officials or these serving people, they must obey his command.
Ying Gao's heart also had a plan to develop among these serving people. With the current situation in Xianyang City, that is, when Yan Le supervised the construction of the new palace south of the Wei River, he had a smaller monitoring ability. Therefore, for Ying Gao, the only disadvantage of going to the new palace may be that he cannot get Feng Qing's reward every night...
Two days later, Ying Gao went to the new palace construction site. In Yan Le's eyes, no matter how Ying Gao did, he would be humiliating himself in the end. If Ying Gao and Fusu left Xianyang, it would be of great benefit to what Zhao Gao told him.
But what Yan Le didn't know was that letting Ying Gao leave his vision would be the most wrong decision he made. When Ying Gao returns, it will be the time when he regrets the most.
After Ying Gao reached south of the Wei River and surveyed a large area of land for the construction of the new palace, he couldn't help but sigh that while the people were not covered in clothes and food, the royal family was building this so-called new palace and letting the people participate in this process. This was tantamount to playing with fire and burning himself to fire for the Qin Dynasty, which had just unified the region and had not yet unified its thoughts. But obviously, he had no power to decide these things at this time. All he could do was to enrich himself first and then talk about others.
Another day later, two thousand serving people arrived as scheduled. Ying Gao knew that once a person who missed the deadline, they might have died. According to the regulations of the Qin Dynasty, only nobles with titles of "not renewed" or above can be exempted from labor service, and these people are rare in the Qin Dynasty.
