Chapter 66 Stool(1/2)
Since Yang Duanhe and Wang Jian do not need to compete for merit, they are not in a hurry to attack Handan.
The Qin army only surrounded the Zhao army outside the city and planned to be surrounded for a long time.
At this time, Yang Duanhe transported a few catapults and flints to Wang Jian's place...
There is no need to hide the catapult, especially at this time the two have reached a consensus.
It is said that Na Lugong dismantled one of the catapults into parts immediately.
In fact, there is no need to dismantle it at all. This stone casting mechanism is very simple to understand.
It’s just that Lu Gong was cautious by nature and didn’t want to miss any details, so he did so.
Then, Lu Gong went to the trench in front of the trencher for a whole day, without thinking about food and food.
After that, he sighed:
“This is not very skilled.”
"But the production is brilliant!"
This can be said to be a sharp attack.
Does Shen Bing know how to work in carpentry?
In fact, Shen Bing knew nothing.
Modern mechanical design learns cad/cam and other things, and materials mechanics, so how can you do carpenter work?
So, as Lu Gong said, it has nothing to do with skills, but it has very clever creativity.
But what is important is not skills, what is important is creativity.
There is no shortage of artillery masters with skilled skills, Cang is one of them...
Although this guy is as timid as a mouse, his craftsman's skills are really the true teachings of the followers.
For example, now, Chen Bing waved to Cang, and Cang ran over happily.
"Senior brother, what are your instructions?"
Chen Bing took the branch and drew it on the ground while saying:
"You go and do something like this."
"Two long frames are interlaced, connected by copper shafts in the middle, and tied firmly with hemp ropes and then put a layer of linen on top."
...
This is actually a simple folding stool.
Chen Bing couldn't stand this era without chairs, and he would always "kneel" on the ground.
Not only does my knee hurt, but my feet will lose consciousness over time.
Cang looked confused when he looked at the picture.
"Senior brother, what is the use of this thing?"
Chen Bing responded impatiently:
"You'll do it."
Cang responded and went to do it.
Although Cang had ten craftsmen under his command, he still made it by himself as Chen Bing told him.
The folding stool is very simple in structure, and it was done in a few strokes. Then Cang took it to Chen Bing with a puzzled look:
"Senior brother, please see, it's the same as what you said?"
"If there is any deviation, I will correct it."
Chen Bing didn't say anything, took it and opened it, put it on the ground and sat on it.
Cang stared at it with wide eyes for a while, and then walked around Shen Bing for a few times.
Sighing:
"My beauty, Senior Brother is such a thing, really wonderful!"
"Don't look for stones in the future, wooden stakes will rest."
"Senior brother, can you... let me try it?"
Chen Bing stood up unhappily.
Cang just said "Thank you, Senior Brother" and couldn't wait to sit on it.
This time I was stunned again:
"Wonderful, the height is suitable for moderate softness and hardness."
"It's much easier to use than that stone."
"And when using it, you can put it away and carry it with you if you don't need it..."
"It's so wonderful, it's so wonderful!"
After Cang said this, other craftsmen also gathered around him, and I would like to try it.
Then everyone followed suit and made their own...
They are craftsmen, and their tools and materials are almost ready-made, so they are very quick to make.
After a while, everyone was in hand and they worked happily to sit and open and close.
Chen Bing likes to see them who have never seen the world before.
What Chen Bing did not expect was that this folding stool quickly became popular in the entire army soon...
The "kneeling" etiquette during the Qin Dynasty was more suitable for indoor use, but if it was outdoor and civilians would not be the same.
Therefore, this simple folding stool is very suitable for troops who are mostly fighting outsiders.
After the artillery was built, it was immediately passed to other carpenters. When the soldiers saw it, they were very moved and came to ask for it.
Then when Yang Duanhe came to inspect the troops, he felt strange.
The soldiers who were originally sitting around or squatting to eat were now sitting on "linen racks" and were content.
Yang Duanhe couldn't help but ask in confusion: "What is this?"
Soldier answered:
"Return to the general, this is a thing made by the craftsman for rest."
“The worker calls it a stool.”
"Can you want to try it?"
As he said that, a soldier brought it up.
Yang Duan and "hum" ignored him.
Qin Shi's sitting style of crossing his legs towards the other party was regarded as disrespectful to the other party, and it was also a manifestation of barbarism and rudeness.
How could Yang Duanhe have the same knowledge as these barbarians?
If it weren't for Shen Bing's command, Yang Duanhe would have ordered people to pile up all the things called "stools" together and burn them all.
Then Yang Duanhe found that this "stool" was like mushrooms after a rain, and it was already everywhere without realizing it.
Yang Duanhe, who returned to the camp, still knelt in front of the desk, pouring wine while disagreed:
"It's no wonder that this vulgar man has been a mountain villager all his life."
"If you don't understand basic etiquette, what's the difference between it and that beast?"
“Not like me…”
"I still sit here wearing such a heavy armor."
"Not to mention that I am so old, I still have injuries on my leg."
"Is this easy for me?"
...
Just as she was thinking, Yang Duanhe couldn't help but gasp.
"Oh, no. The injury on this leg hurts again!"
"this……"
After thinking about it, Yang Duanhe shouted outside the door: "Come on!"
Immediately, two personal guards came in and bowed to the tent.
Yang Duanhe hesitated and asked:
"You wait...will your legs become numb after standing outside the door for a long time?"
The personal guard replied:
To be continued...
