Chapter 171 What is a profession

The streams in the mountains fall from the cliffs to form a spectacular waterfall. Huge wheels rotate in the river water under the waterfall, transporting the water in the river through the canal to nearby farmland.

There is a mill not far away, and the windmill is rotating in the wind.

When a group of young disciples of the Mo family entered the Qin and Chu land, the largest stronghold of the Mo family, everything in front of them was not as powerful as imagined, but had a unique tranquility in the mountains and fields.

“The scenery here is so beautiful!”

Mo Yuan pulled Li Ji and sighed at the scenery here. On the river bank in front of the water wheel, Zhao Shuang stood, and everyone came behind him and bowed.

"Grand Commander!"

Zhao Shuangben was watching Gongshu Xiu and others practicing the water wheel. Hearing the sound behind him, he turned around.

"You're here."

A group of young Mo family disciples were about to ask for their deaths, but Zhao Shuang waved.

"It just so happens that there are shortage of people here and there are tools there, so I can go digging the canal."

Digging a canal?

The young Mo family disciples were stunned. They all admired the reputation of the Mo family commander and specially transferred from the Ministry of Commerce to this place.

Why do you have to dig a canal as soon as you come here?

However, just when the young disciples of the Mo family were dissatisfied, people who were even more dissatisfied than them were shouting that they came from the water wheel.

"My dear loser is the successor of the domineering mechanism. Come to you to help you repair the water wheel?"

Gongshuxu came over while chatting, and suddenly his eyes kept going. Why are there so many beautiful Mohist ladies in front of him?

Zhao Shuang had no time to pay attention to this guy, turned around and looked for the young disciples of the Mo family. When she saw Li Ji, the other party felt inexplicably nervous.

"Where is Mo Yuan?"

Beside Li Ji, a pretty woman walked out, with a slender figure and a pretty face.

"Disciple is here!"

"You lead a group of Mohist disciples, men dig waterways, and women prepare meals. Spring is coming soon, and you must build the canal before sowing. There is not much time left. There are thousands of disciples in my Mohist and several surrounding data stations. This year's food ration is up to this point, and you can't be careless."

When Zhao Shuang heard what he said, the young disciples seemed to have a sense of mission.

"Disciple obeys the order!"

Li Ji's eyes were a little disappointed, but she still followed Mo Yuan and others. Gongshu Xiu came to Zhao Shuang and leaned against him with his shoulder.

"So our Mo family has so many beautiful women. You should tell me a long time ago, the commander!"

Zhao Shuang looked at Gongshu Xiu and asked.

"How did I leave you?"

"I'm not at ease with the commander?"

As he said that, Gongshuxu led Zhao Shuang to a small house on the bank of the river. As soon as he entered the door, Gongshuxu placed a large push drawing in front of Zhao Shuang.

"Look at the commander, I have already done everything from the procurement of corner ribs, wood, iron sheets, oil, design drawings, and production."

As he said that, Gongshu Xiu looked at Zhao Shuang with a little confused face.

"But with the manpower of several nearby strongholds alone, even with the people I brought, I want to make one hundred bed crossbows and three thousand powerful crossbows before Gongshu Qiu, there is not enough time and manpower!"

Zhao Shuang did not answer, looked at Gongshuqiu's drawings and asked a question.

"Can you make a crossbow that shoots for more than ten times but is useless after twenty times?"

Gongshu Xiu opened his mouth wide and looked at Zhao Shuang. As the successor of Gongshu, he has always been striving for excellence in making mechanisms and has never heard of such requests.

"Grand Commander, do you mean to use inferior products as good products and as good products as good products?"

After Gongshuxu finished speaking, Zhao Shuang still had no change. He not only looked around, but also approached Zhao Shuang and said softly.

"Grand Commander, as a Sima of the Army, don't you know that the Qin army has very high requirements for military ordnance. Not only should each crossbow indicate the production time, the name of the craftsman and the production location, but there will also be special inspection quality of the military weapon. Once something happens, you, the Sima of the Army, will lose your head."

Then, Gongshu Xiu approached Zhao Shuang a little more, his face a little strange, and he wanted to speak but stopped.

"What do you mean?"

Looking at Gongshu Xiu's appearance, Zhao Shuang asked.

"Grand Commander, this is what you asked me to say." Gongshu Xiu looked like an expert and popularized it towards Zhao Shuang, "Grand Commander, even if you are tired of embezzling military pay, don't use this method!"

"You can make a crossbow that can be made for about fifty gold, you can pay one hundred gold. If you have a little bit of the remaining fifty gold, don't the remaining money belong to yours? Why do you use inferior products as good as good people and make jokes about your own heads?"

Zhao Shuang glanced at Gongshu Xiu and smiled on her face.

"You are quite professional!"

"That's right, every time the chief of the Qin army came to the Gongshou to order the weapons, I received it. I'll tell you..."

The Gongshuxu said in a long and long paragraph, looking quite proud of it.

Zhao Shuang interrupted him and asked.

"I have obtained the drawings of the public losers. Can you make them in their mechanical style?"

Zhao Shuang asked a question about the tutor, and the tutoring and surrender became serious.

"It's not difficult if you just make a stance, but if you want to shoot a dozen times like the commander, you said, and it will take another design."

"What's important is that there are many veterans in the Qin army. If the material of the crossbow changes, they can see it at a glance. If you want to hide it from them, the difficulty of making this fake is no less than the real one. Maybe this crossbow will be more expensive than the real one."

"You don't have to worry about money. As long as you can make all the first batches before the beginning of summer, that's fine."

"I'll try it!" Gongshu Xiu walked a few steps outside the house, turned around, and looked puzzled, "But what are you doing?"

"I have my own opinions, just do it."

Looking at Gongshu Xiu walking away, Zhao Shuang sighed helplessly.

"I have to pay for this corruption."

.........

Changping Jun Mansion.

"Master!"

In front of Changpingjun, a tall general bowed and bowed to the person in front of him.

"Fan Yuqi, I won't say anything extra. This time, Chang'an Jun led his army to attack Zhao. You are by your side, so you need more help."

"The end of the day will be a good job."

Fan Yuqi raised his head and saw that there seemed to be worries on Changpingjun's face.

"Your Majesty, what are you worried about?"

"Chang'an Jun was young and energetic. He just suppressed Lu Buwei and others. Now he has a large army in his hand. If there is any mistake, I am afraid that others will take advantage of it.

"Since that's the case, when the ministers in the court that day, when they were talking about attacking Zhao, why didn't the lord stop the lord of Chang'an from asking for an order?"

Changpingjun shook his head helplessly and sighed a little.

"When the child is grown, it is hard to deal with it, let alone the prince of a country? Chang'an Jun wants to use this opportunity to attack Zhao to establish prestige in the army. What can I do?"
