Chapter 142 Two bulls are arguing? The plow comes out!

Old man Zhao defended himself to the officials of Tingwei Mansion with a trembling voice.

"The cow at home is old and frail, and is seriously ill. It can no longer farm. The villain wanted to sell it, but no one wanted to buy it. Seeing the cow getting thinner and thinner, the villain really couldn't bear to see it starve to death. , I slaughtered it and prepared to eat the meat, please be merciful!"

The officials in Tingwei Mansion looked at Old Man Zhao expressionlessly and said coldly:

"Slaughtering cattle privately is a serious crime. No reason can be used as an excuse. Just wait and be punished."

Just when Old Man Zhao felt desperate, Qin Chi came after hearing the news.

He walked through the crowd and walked into the hut. When he saw the tied old man Zhao and the cow blood on the ground, his heart sank.

So, Qin Chi asked: "What exactly is going on? Old Zhao, you will explain it in detail."

Old man Zhao quickly recounted what happened in detail, and begged Qin Chi for help in tears.

Qin Chi looked around and frowned slightly.

He knew in his heart that privately slaughtering farm cattle was indeed a serious crime in Da Qin.

But looking at Old Man Zhao's fearful and helpless eyes, and listening to his tearful explanation, Qin Chi felt a silent emotion well up in his heart.

He turned to the officials of Tingwei Mansion and said calmly: "Didn't you just kill a cow? Why is it so serious?"

The official in Tingwei Mansion looked troubled and said, "My lord, you don't know. These cattle are the foundation of farming. Killing them privately is a serious crime according to Qin law!"

Qin Chi smiled slightly and disagreed: "Cows are important, but people's livelihood cannot be ignored either. Let this old man Zhao go, I have a way!"

When everyone heard this, they looked at each other in confusion.

Old Man Zhao was overjoyed and kowtowed repeatedly in thanks: "Thank you, sir, for saving my life! Thank you, sir!"

Qin Chi nodded: "From now on, you must behave yourself and never violate Qin's laws again!"

Old Man Zhao nodded repeatedly: "I understand, I understand! I understand, I understand!"

When the officials of Tingwei Mansion saw this, they could only let him go, feeling puzzled.

"Sir, this old man Zhao slaughtered the cattle without permission, which will affect the use of animal power in the entire township!" A servant came up to admonish him.

"Yes, sir, there are at most two or three cows in a village, and in some poor places, there is even only one cow to support the farming of the whole village. This old man Zhao slaughtered one cow, which is a serious crime!" An official also spoke hurriedly.

"I told you I have a way!" Qin Chi glared and spoke majestically. After saying this, he already had a plan in his heart.

"You will go to the young master's mansion later and ask for some craftsmen to come over."

Qin Chi turned around and gave instructions to the rear officials.

"only!"

The officials looked at each other. Although they didn't understand why, they could only accept the order and leave.

After a while, the officials led several craftsmen to the outside of the farmhouse.

"I've met Ting Weiqing!"

The craftsmen were very respectful and bowed to Qin Chi one after another.

At this moment, Qin Chi was standing alone in a corner of the farmhouse, concentrating and writing brilliantly, describing a certain picture in detail. When he heard that the craftsmen were paying homage, he just nodded slightly and said softly "Yeah".

The craftsmen looked at each other with doubts. Seeing that the master was so serious, they immediately gathered around to watch, with doubts on their faces and whispers.

A craftsman couldn't understand it, so he stepped forward and asked, "Sir, what is this?"

The craftsmen who will be the Shaofu all know that Qin Chi tries his best to invent and create some magical things. Everyone is saying that Lord Tingwei is the successor of the Mo family's public transmission method, so they are very curious about the patterns in his hands.

Qin Chi raised his head, smiled slightly, pointed to the picture and replied: "This is a Quyuan plow!" Upon hearing this, the craftsmen looked at each other with great surprise. They all looked at the picture intently, but they still couldn't figure it out.

"Sir, what is this curved shaft plow...?" a craftsman asked.

Qin Chi said: "If you look at this plow, the shaft is curved, not as rigid as a straight shaft. This design can make the plow body closer to the ground, make turning easier, and save more effort in farming."

The craftsmen suddenly realized that this was actually a farm tool? !

As Qin Chi's brush strokes moved, a sketch of a curved shaft plow gradually took shape.

Every stroke and every stroke appears so precise and powerful, and the graphics gradually emerge. The exquisiteness is breathtaking.

All the craftsmen stood around and looked at it, with expressions of astonishment on their faces.

A craftsman stroked his beard and sighed: "Sir, the exquisite design of this plow is something I have never seen in my life. The structure of the curved shaft not only conforms to the principles of physics, but also meets the needs of farming. It is really a stroke of genius!"

Another craftsman also nodded and praised: "What you have painted is not just a plow, but also the hard work and wisdom of our craftsmen. With this sharp tool, farming can be done with twice the result with half the effort."

Hearing this, Qin Chi smiled and nodded, but his heart remained calm.

He knew the importance of this curved shaft plow, but some of the craftsmen present still couldn't understand it.

All the craftsmen looked on with curiosity and exploration.

Seeing this, Qin Chi slowly explained: "The beauty of the curved shaft plow is that its shaft is curved like a moon. This design not only allows the plow body to run closer to the ground, but also makes it particularly light when turning. In this way, plowing is easier." It saves a lot of effort.”

A master craftsman put his hands on his hands and smiled, suddenly realizing: "That's it! You are really a man of ingenuity! I only knew that the straight-shaft plow was heavy and inconvenient before, but I never imagined that there was such an ingenious design."

Qin Chi nodded with a smile and continued: "In addition, the curved shaft plow can be adjusted freely according to the ups and downs of the field. When encountering uneven areas, you only need to slightly adjust the angle of the curved shaft to keep the plow body stable. As a result, farming efficiency can also be greatly increased.”

When all the craftsmen heard this, they all nodded in praise.

A young craftsman said excitedly: "What you said is absolutely true! With the help of this curved shaft and plow, farming in the world will be done with twice the result with half the effort! You are really a lucky star for us craftsmen!"

Qin Chi laughed heartily when he heard this.

He knew that once this tune was popularized, it would benefit countless people, and he was very pleased.

After Qin Chi's explanation, the craftsmen basically understood the principle of Quyuanli.

"Send the order and ask the craftsmen to start working immediately and build a curved shaft plow as quickly as possible."

Qin Chi handed the drawings to the craftsmen.

"Get the drawings. I have marked the dimensions and dimensions on the drawings. You just need to follow the drawings and build it as soon as possible!"

Qin Chi said, handing the drawn drawings to the hands of the craftsmen, his tone revealed an unquestionable majesty.

The craftsmen took the drawings and looked at them carefully.

They talked in low voices, with expressions of realization or admiration on their faces.

They knew that this young Lord Tingwei not only held a high position of power, but what was even more rare was that he had wisdom and foresight beyond ordinary people.

It is their honor as craftsmen to be able to participate in such a great creation.

For example, the previous snowflake salt, lever utensils...as well as paper, movable type, etc., all had the participation of Shaozuo Shaofu.

Everything is carefully invented by Tingwei.

How can this not be surprising!

"Don't worry, sir, we will do our best to build this Quyuanli as soon as possible!"
