Chapter 10 Friction?(1/2)

After listening to Chen Bing's method, Xun was both angry and anxious.

"Are you crazy?"

"Tie the hemp rope on the wheel?"

"Is this your way?!"

"I said you can improve the carriage, but you don't want to do this but you're such a confused way!"

"What can I do if I tie a hemp rope? Is it possible to make the carriage go up a steep slope?"

"Can you still know how to do it?"

...

Perhaps because of the double oppression from tasks and commands, Xun has long lost his patience.

At this time, when he heard Chen Bing’s “unreliable” approach, he cursed him without hesitation.

Finally, there was a sentence:

"If you are so free, come and help me!"

"We can sleep for three days and maybe we can complete the task!"

Chen Bing immediately widened his eyes.

"What?"

"Sleepless for three days?"

Then I felt anxious, and I didn't care whether Xun could understand or not.

"No, Master! Listen to me..."

"The reason why the carriage cannot get on the steep slope is because the road is slippery on rainy days!"

"Road slippery means that the friction between the ground and the wheels is reduced, so that the horses can't bear it!"

"As long as I wait to increase the roughness of the wheels..."

Xun, who was pushing the cart hard, couldn't help but get angry, and he put the carriage in his hand.

"Shut up!"

"What friction, roughness!"

"I have worked as a carpenter for three generations and have never heard of tying hemp ropes on wheels in decades!"

"Are you pushing or not?"

Chen Bing took Xun's position cart helplessly.

But he was not willing to give up.

How could he be content with this?

Even though you know that it only takes a few hemp ropes to solve it, you have to "sleep for three days"?

After thinking about it, Chen Bing said while pushing the cart:

"Master, it's important for us to have a life and death. How dare I play?"

"If we are together, we are all guilty of death, so what's the point of letting our disciples give it a try?"

"Come and go is just a few hemp ropes tied in a cup of tea!"

"If it succeeds, it will save me from being exhausted and being questioned if I'm a hundred people... "

This is the cleverness of Shen Bing.

First, let’s declare how much time you won’t waste when trying.

Secondly, he brought the artillery master and craftsmen to stand with him.

As the saying goes, everyone is getting high in firewood, so they are not afraid of Xun's refusal to agree.

Sure enough, someone was moved soon.

The one who speaks is Cang.

"Yes, Master!"

"It's like a senior brother improving the catapult!"

"Who could have thought that just such a simple change could double the range!"

"Now the catapult smashed the Zhao Great Wall that our army could not conquer for a long time within a few days!"

"Maybe this time..."

Another craftsman also called it yes.

"What Gongcheng Chen said is very true!"

"If you only need to tie the hemp rope...but it only takes a few people to add a little more time!"

"It's okay to try it, even if it doesn't work, it's not important!"

Others also agreed.

Xun's expression eased a little, he hesitated and nodded and said:

"Well, let you give it a try!"

"I want to see what tricks you can create?"

As he said that, he waved his head while waving his hand, asking the others to take over and replace Shen Bing and the others.

Chen Bing let out a light breath, then raised his head to a fat man and ordered:

"Go and get some hemp rope!"

The fat man responded and hurriedly took a few people to the warehouse.

The fat man's name is Tun.

Chen Bing had two labour ministers (soldier commanders), one was Cang and the other was Fatty Tun.

During the Warring States Period, many people who were uneducated and had no surnames.

Their names are often simple and intuitive to take a word.

For example, the name Xun is because he comes from a carpenter family.

The carpenter always pops a straight line with an ink bucket and then follows this straight line.

Cang was born in a forest of Cang.

As for Tun...

That's because of his origins, merchants always hoard goods and buy low and sell high.

By the way, this merchant may be very awesome in modern times, but in ancient times when he emphasized agriculture and suppressed commerce, it was an object that everyone despised.

So although this guy named Tun became a fat man, few people could look down on him.

Because of this, this guy named Tun was still a little excited when he was designated as a gong minister by Shen Bing.

Shen Bing still remembers that the Tun has confirmed with Shen Bing three times.

"I...I? Really yes...I?"

"Mr.? I am a Mr.... Mr.?"

"Sir, are you... not getting it wrong?"

This guy has a bad habit and stutters when he is excited!

Sometimes Shen Bing is worried for him.

Fortunately, he was quite quick in his movements.

After all, he was born as a businessman, had sufficient nutrition and had received a certain degree of education, and at least he knew some arithmetic.

This is also the reason why Chen Bing "loves him".

After a while, Tun and his men returned with a few bundles of hemp ropes.

Chen Bing didn't say much, and ordered:

"A four-foot-segment!"

"Wrap it a few times and tie it tightly on the wheel!"

"Tie five sections per wheel!"

Everyone responded to the promise and then became busy as they were.

Xun sat on the stone beside him and rested, as if he was not optimistic about everyone's actions.

This is not a difficult task. In a short while, the wheels of a carriage were tied with hemp ropes in circles.

At this time, Yang Ting turned back, and she even recognized Chen Bing.
