The most arrogant in history

Chapter 276 Shen Ji Zi.

Gongsun Erniang seemed a little embarrassed and waved her hand:

“No, no, no… Actually, there are many branches of our Mohist School, but most of them have become rangers, so we can’t contact them for the time being. What I mean is… there are only a few people who were passed down from my master.”

Ye Kun couldn't help but smile:

"Come on, there are only a few of us. I will be the head and you will be the deputy head. It is easier to manage with fewer people, and I can afford them. Also, how did you become a disciple of the Mohist School?"

"Seven years ago, when I was thirteen, my whole family was killed by Gongsun Mu. I was the only one who escaped and was rescued by an old man. The old man took me into the mountains and told me that he was a great master of the Mohist school, named Shenjizi."

Gongsun Erniang sighed:

"Master Shenjizi taught me the skills of Mohism. Later, he accepted two junior brothers and a younger sister. Master said that Liaodong was bitter and cold, and not as rich as Yizhou, so we traveled thousands of miles to live in seclusion in Qionglai Mountain in Yizhou.

A month ago, my master passed away. Before he died, he asked me to come to you and ask you to become a great master of the Mohist school and carry forward the Mohist school."

Ye Kun asked: "Does your master, Shen Jizi, know me?"

"You made such a big fuss in Yizhou, everyone knows about it. And your impersonation as a disciple of Mohist school is also known to everyone."

"Then how did your master know that I'm not a disciple of the Mohist School?"

"Because what you make is different from what we make in Mohism."

"Okay." Ye Kun nodded and asked again: "Where are the junior brothers and sisters you mentioned?"

Gongsun Erniang's eyes lit up: "They are still in Qionglai Mountain. I can go back and bring them here to follow the head brother together."

Ye Kun smiled and said, "Sure, I can afford it."

"Brother, Mohist disciples don't need anyone to support them." Gongsun Erniang was unhappy when she heard this and frowned.

"Although my junior brothers and sisters are young, they are very smart. With a little trickery, they can become rich. I asked them to follow me in order to promote the Mohist school."

"I spoke out of turn, please don't take it personally, Junior Sister. Go and bring your Junior Brothers and Junior Sisters here anytime you want, and we'll work together to show love and non-aggression."

Ye Kun bowed and apologized, then asked about the Mo family's mechanical techniques.

Gongsun Erniang said: "There are many Mohist mechanisms, and I can't make them all. The drawings are all in Qionglai Mountain. I will bring them back to you."

Ye Kun thought for a moment and said, "I have to go to Chongqing to do some work. How about this? You bring my junior brothers and sisters over and let them stay in Chengdu for a while. I'll make arrangements when I come back. I'll also look at the blueprints when I come back."

Gongsun Erniang said, "I can send a letter by carrier pigeon and ask my junior brothers and sisters to come here by themselves. They will be here in two days."

"What do you mean by wild geese delivering letters? They're pigeons, right?"

"Uh... Brother, how did you know it was a pigeon?"

"These are all my leftovers." Ye Kun rolled his eyes:

"I have a special military pigeon training center in various places in Yizhou, raising tens of thousands of pigeons. If you don't believe me, I'll take you to see it."

The idea of ​​wild geese delivering letters is a lie. It was a fantasy of the ancients. In reality, there has never been a case of wild geese delivering letters for people.

Gongsun Erniang smiled awkwardly: "Then Senior Brother, wait for me for two days. I will ask my junior brothers and sisters to come over and bring the blueprints as well."

"Okay, let's do it."

Ye Kun nodded.

If I go to Chongqing myself, I have to prepare some things and bring some gifts for Yuejuan and the others.

Lao He came to report that a cement aqueduct outside the city had been completed and was waiting for Ye Kun to go and inspect it and preside over the water supply ceremony.

Because cement has been produced steadily, tens of thousands of kilograms per day, and there is currently nowhere to use it.

Ye Kun tried to do some construction to test the quality of the cement.

The next morning, Ye Kun took Xie Tong, Han Chun, Ma Zhao and other officials to see the aqueduct outside the city.

Gongsun Erniang accompanied him, acting as both a follower and a bodyguard.

The cement aqueduct is fifteen miles outside the city. It is similar to an overpass and is about one hundred meters long.

Since there is no water below, it is not difficult to build.

First dig the foundation, use cement concrete to drive the piles, use bamboo instead of steel bars, and add some iron wire.

Above it is the concrete aqueduct, four feet wide.

The height of the aqueduct is about five meters above the ground. It looks like an overpass and is quite spectacular.

Officials at all levels followed Ye Kun and walked back and forth on the aqueduct, praising him and flattering him.

Even Gongsun Erniang was impressed and whispered, "This man-made stone bridge is so ingenious that it is indeed extraordinary."

"What's this? Just a trial run!"

Ye Kun smiled faintly and waved his hand, saying, "Open the gate and release the water!"

The sluice gates were opened at the upstream source.

The clear river water flows continuously, and you can see small fish swimming in it.

Ma Zhao asked, "Master Ye, how many years can such an aqueduct be used?"

"If there is no major earthquake, it should be usable for 30 to 50 years."

"That's great." Ma Zhao nodded and pointed downstream.

"There are about 2,000 acres of land downstream that lacks irrigation water. The opening of this aqueduct and the construction of a reservoir below will ensure a good harvest downstream. Lord Ye's move will benefit future generations."

"Stop bragging, this is not Dujiangyan." Ye Kun smiled:

"Ye Qingyang inspected the entire Chengdu area. He said that the irrigation area of ​​Dujiangyan can be expanded. By opening several small canals, at least 100,000 more acres of land can be irrigated. You should implement it and come up with a plan by the end of the year, and start digging the canal after the New Year."

The Chengdu Plain is truly a Feng Shui treasure land. If all the arable land were utilized, together with the forests and mountains, it could feed five million people, or even more!

It’s just that Gongsun Zhang is too incompetent. He guards such a big and beautiful place but achieves nothing.

On the way back, Ye Kun took Gongsun Erniang to inspect the hydraulic workshop.

After more than half a year of construction, the hydraulic workshop has been completed, productivity has been greatly improved, and products can be produced quickly and with high quality.

In the carpenter's workshop, the water-powered circular saw blade whizzes around, easily sawing a piece of wood into boards.

Ye Kun smiled at Gongsun Erniang and said, "Junior sister, this is the high-speed circular saw I designed. How do you think it is?"

Gongsun Erniang looked at it carefully and said in a low voice:

"The Mohist School also has this thing. I've seen the blueprints... but it doesn't seem to be this ingenious."

Damn, the Mohist school invented the circular saw hundreds of years ago?

Ye Kun couldn't quite believe it.

When you come to the blacksmith's grinding workshop, you will see the high-speed grinding wheel spinning, rubbing against the iron, and pulling out sparks.

The workers wore gloves and operated very skillfully.

Ye Kun smiled and said, "Junior sister, does the Mo family have this?"

"Yes, we have a knife sharpener." Gongsun Erniang nodded affirmatively.

Because the principle of high-speed grinding wheel and high-speed circular saw is the same, a large gear drives a small gear to increase the speed. Therefore, if you can design a circular saw, you can also design a high-speed grinding wheel.

"I'll take you to see a roller press. I guarantee you've never seen one!"

Ye Kun refused to accept and continued to take Gongsun Erniang on a tour.

Iron plates are being pressed in the roller press workshop.

A red-hot iron plate becomes very flat and thinner after being rolled several times.

Gongsun Erniang nodded and whispered, "I don't think so. I haven't seen such a drawing..."

Ye Kun won a round and said with a smile: "I still have a lot of things that Mojia doesn't have. Come back with me, I will show you Lao He's laboratory."

Gongsun Erniang expressed dissatisfaction and rolled her eyes:

"Brother, we in the Mo family also have many things that you have never seen. Otherwise, you can go to Qionglai Mountain with me. The equipment left by the master will definitely open your eyes."

Ye Kun was stunned: "Master left a lot of things, are they in Qionglai Mountain?"
