Seeing that the county magistrate and the county magistrate had almost surrendered and had agreed to the order to recruit the people, Jiang Beiting breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Damn it was in Xianyang that people in Chu were not convinced, but I didn’t expect that the first order he almost sent out after taking office. It seems that life will not be easy in the future!

Since neither of them was opposed, Jiang Beiting also calmed down and began to plan. In addition to the civil servants, there were also a series of matters such as surveillance of soldiers, tools, food, etc. and logistics support, and the civil servants were not slaves, but they should survive without any damage. Otherwise, he, the county magistrate, would definitely not be able to survive in Zhi County. After several rebellions by the villagers, he, the county magistrate, was over.

According to the order of the Nanyang County Magistrate, six thousand civil servants must be summoned within ten days, and within twenty days, they must arrive at the designated area to gather. According to the unified planning of Nanyang County, the Chidao will be built. Thousands of families in the entire Chi County will be separated in an instant. Perhaps many of them will be buried in the wilderness from then on, but this is the reality. Now that His Majesty the First Emperor is building the Great Wall, canals and tombs, there will be no one dead on one day, even if he wants to change this cruel reality, he is still willing but unable to do so.

But just as the three of them were discussing the details in the lobby, a loud voice suddenly came from the gate of the county government.

Jiang Beiting couldn't help but frowned, and County Magistrate Liu Tong quickly strode out.

The soldier standing guard at the door was blocking a short and strong middle-aged man with his long halberd in his hands, holding something in his arms, wrapped in linen very tightly.

"Who is making such a loud noise in the county government?"

"Mr. Liu, this person said he was a craftsman from Qinghe Town. He had very important things to report to the county magistrate." The soldiers quickly reported.

"Sir, sir, I am Gushan, a craftsman in Qinghe Town. I have transformed a hand saw to greatly speed up the logging speed. I came to report to the county magistrate!" Gushan saw Liu Tong and shouted loudly.

"Handsaw? Take it out and take a look?" Liu Tong said with a frown.

"Okay!" Gu Shan hurriedly opened the linen, and then exposed a brand new bronze hand saw about one meter long.

Liu Tong picked up the hand saw and looked at it and threw it back to Gu Shan, saying, "How is this different from ordinary hand saws? It's just a little longer. As a local craftsman, if you don't build agricultural tools well, you will study these messy things all day long, and retreat quickly, otherwise you will be flogged and served!"

"Sir~Sir~ Listen to my explanation..."

Amid the shouts of Gushan, Liu Tong turned around and walked into the county government lobby.

Within ten days, six thousand civil servants must be collected and prepared food and grass tools are also under great pressure. The county magistrate was only responsible for issuing orders, and all arrangements had to be made by him, the county magistrate, to make errands. In addition, due to the harvest of summer grain, Liu Tong was in a very bad mood at this time, so he had no worries about taking care of a craftsman and a saw, unless he could suddenly turn thousands of civil servants into him.

"Mr. Liu, what happened outside?" Jiang Beiting was carefully observing a piece of linen map, asking without raising his head.

"I am a craftsman from Qinghe Town. He created a copper saw that was much longer than an ordinary hand saw. He said that the logging speed was much faster than an ordinary hand saw. After looking at it, his subordinates didn't find any different places and had already sent him away..."

"No, call him in and take a look!" Before Liu finished speaking, Jiang Beiting was stunned for a moment and threw the map and said loudly.

Uh! Liu Tong stood a few meters away in confusion when he was not sure about the reason.

"Oh, the county magistrate is confused. Now building a road requires a lot of trees and a sharp logging tool. I have been having a headache about this. Go out and call him in to take a look. If the effect is really good, this time I can explain the reason to the county magistrate and recruit less civilians afterwards, so that the harvest of summer grain will not be delayed and the order will not be violated..."

"What the lord said is, I... why didn't I expect it!" Liu Tong was stunned for a moment and ran out again. When he arrived at the door, he found that Gu Shan and his two apprentices had already left on horseback.

"Hurry, the county magistrate has an order, go and get the craftsman back!" Liu Tong quickly shouted to the two soldiers standing at the door.

"Yes, Lord Liu!" A soldier quickly untied a horse from the horse stake next to him, and turned over and chased him down the street.

At this time, Gu Shan and his three apprentices were about to reach the city gate.

He thought that when he came to the county town, the county magistrate would pay attention to his inventions, but he did not expect that he would be driven away before he saw the county magistrate.

After being hit twice in a row, the blacksmith was already disheartened.

It seems that I shouldn’t be too ambitious and hope to be famous for the Qin Dynasty and have been passed down through the ages. Lidian said it well. I am just a small craftsman in Qinghe Town, so it is more appropriate to go back to build agricultural tools honestly.

But just as Gu Shan was depressed, a sudden sound of horse hooves came from behind him, and a soldier dressed in cloth armor came quickly.

"The craftsman in front, the county magistrate ordered you to go back quickly!"

"Master, the soldiers from the county government seem to be calling us!" an apprentice reached out and grabbed Gushan's clothes and said.

"What?" Gu Shan stopped the horse and turned around, and saw the soldiers rushing to the side and pinning the horse and saying, "The county magistrate has an order, and order you to follow me back to the county government quickly."

Ten minutes later, in the lobby of the county government office in Chixian County.

Jiang Beiting looked at the lengthened bronze hand saw in his hand and two pieces of wood that fell to the ground, as well as wood chips covered with wood chips, and his face showed extraordinary excitement and surprise.

"Okay, Gushan, the copper saw you improved is very good. The logging speed is indeed several times faster than that of ordinary hand saws, and it is also very labor-saving. With this thing, it seems that the recruitment of civilians this time is much easier. By the way, how did you think of this improvement method?" Jiang Beiting's face turned red when he stroked the hand saw and the county magistrate was also excited.

They also saw the process of sawing wood with their own eyes. If they could be equipped with a large number of such improved hand saws, at least one-third to one-fifth of the fewer people recruited, which means that the size of 6,000 people can be reduced to less than two thousand people, and the construction period will not be delayed, and they can also be rotated homes. In this way, the harvest of summer grain in the entire Chi County will almost not be affected, which is the best of both worlds.

"This..." Gu Shan was confused for a long time before he stammering: "Little man...Little man only thought of it occasionally, and he finally achieved this effect through repeated trials!"
