It broke my heart.
Gao Qi's face suddenly became ugly, and he raised his eyebrows as he was about to get angry. Unexpectedly, Xue Na nuzzled his chin toward Li Qinzai's house, and then sneered.
Gao Qi was stunned for a moment, then took a deep breath and endured it.
Noise is prohibited here, Li Qinzai has gone too far, and Gao Qi does not have the courage to challenge Li Qinzai's authority.
But the mountains and rivers meet again, and when we leave the Li family...
After waiting for a long time, Li Qinzai still hadn't appeared, but there were hurried footsteps outside the yard.
The two turned around to look, and immediately stood up and saluted.
The visitor is Li Qinzai’s mother, Mrs. Li Cui.
Mrs. Li Cui walked in a hurry, as if she had just arrived after hearing the report from her servants.
Seeing the two juniors saluting, Li Cui naturally recognized them, so she greeted them with a smile.
After a few words of greeting, Li Qinzai's door opened. As soon as he stepped out, he shouted loudly: "Come here, go find some blacksmiths and make me something..."
As soon as she finished speaking, Mrs. Li Cui raised her eyebrows and said, "What are you talking about? Why are you looking for a blacksmith? We have a blacksmith at home! What did I tell you last time and I forgot about it?"
Li Qinzai hurriedly smiled and said, "I didn't think of it at the moment, but I will definitely remember it next time."
Mrs. Li Cui took a long breath. Fortunately, she came quickly. Otherwise, the prodigal son would have found a shady blacksmith outside, and the new things he had worked so hard to come up with were easily leaked, and he had gained an advantage in vain.
He stepped forward and unceremoniously snatched the drawings from Li Qinzai's hand that were still wet with ink. Li Cui poked his head bitterly and said, "You just want to spend money! What new thing did you do this time?"
Li Qinzai said: "My child saw that Liu Asi had his leg broken, so he made a labor-saving thing..."
Mrs. Li Cui praised: "My son has a kind heart and is a good boy. He will make those outside who are gossiping feel ashamed. No matter what he does, I will ask my blacksmith to make it..."
The word "home" was emphasized very strongly, and it was obvious that Mr. Li Cui still did not forget to remind him of the importance of confidentiality.
After carefully folding the drawings, Li Cui glanced at Xue Ne and Gao Qi, and then pulled Li Qinzai's ears over, causing Li Qinzai to grimace in pain.
"You have to keep the secret secret in your belly, and you are not allowed to reveal even a single word to anyone. Friends are friends, and business is business. You must know this clearly. Do you understand?"
Mrs. Li Cui smiled and said threatening words in his ear, and every word was full of murderous intent.
"I understand, mother, let go quickly, your ears have fallen off."
Li Cui let go of her hand with satisfaction, but chatted with Xue Ne and Gao Qi for a few words with a bright smile.
Mu Chunfeng's cordial and kind attitude, without any trace of clenching his teeth to stick to the secret recipe, clearly regarded them as his own sons, the kind who could be buried in the Li family's ancestral graves.
Li Qinzai stood aside and couldn't help but admire secretly.
No matter what age a woman is, her acting skills are always online, and every frame is a movie-level performance.
Mrs. Li Cui rushed to and fro. After she left, Xue Ne and Gao Qi couldn't help but praise: "Brother Jingchu, your father is really virtuous and graceful, which is awe-inspiring."
Li Qinzai sneered secretly, "You are still too young. You know nothing about women's acting skills."
…………
The Li family summoned a dozen blacksmiths to build Li Qinzai's drawings one by one.
As Li Qinzai expected, the hooks and chains were easy to make, but the buckles and cable-stop clips really took a lot of effort from the blacksmith to barely pass.
On an autumn afternoon, the backyard of Li's house.
He found a remote courtyard and ordered his troops to guard the area and not allow any outsiders to approach.
Three generations of the Li family gathered in the courtyard and watched Li Qinzai hang a strange-looking hook on the top of a cone-shaped shelf made of three iron pillars.
The things made by the blacksmith were very strange, and no one in the Li family had ever seen them before.
Under the cone-shaped iron frame, an iron ball weighing about a thousand kilograms is also prepared. An iron chain is tied tightly to the iron ball. The other end of the iron chain is connected to the strange hook and is deeply stuck into the recess of the hook's iron wheel. in the trough.
The Li family couldn't understand what Li Qinzai was doing, but they all remained calm.
After experiencing the divine arm bow and horseshoe, Li Ji gained some confidence in his grandson. Although he could not understand, he knew that his inability to understand was due to ignorance.
Since you are ignorant, you must know how to shut up. This is the most basic respect for knowledge.
The pulley assembly is divided into two iron wheels, one is a fixed pulley and the other is a movable pulley. As the name suggests, one is fixed on the hook and the other can move with the movement of the object.
When everything was ready, Li Qinzai turned around and smiled at Li Ji: "Grandpa, the iron ball under the iron frame weighs about a thousand kilograms. With Grandpa's ability as a famous general, can he move it alone?"
Li Ji shook his head without thinking: "Don't say it's now. Even when I was young and strong, I couldn't move an iron ball weighing a thousand kilograms. Don't talk nonsense."
Li Qinzai blinked and said: "Throughout the ages, have there been any strong men who can lift a thousand catties?"
Li Ji hesitated for a moment and said: "During the Qin Dynasty, it was rumored that there was a strongman named 'Wu Huo'. Historical records record that he could lift a thousand jun, and one jun was equivalent to thirty kilograms. In other words, this man named Wu Huo could lift three Ten thousand pounds..."
Shaking his head, Li Ji smiled and said: "This... is too exaggerated, and the historical records cannot be trusted. Even if a mortal is born with supernatural power, he can lift five hundred kilograms, which is equivalent to the sky. It is impossible to lift a thousand kilograms."
Li Qinzai smiled: "This thing made by my grandson can easily lift a thousand pounds with one person's strength."
As soon as these words came out, the Li family was shocked.
Li Ji frowned and said: "Qin Zai, you must be prudent in what you say and do, and don't lie. How can one person lift a thousand catty object? Even if this thing is rare, the iron ball still weighs a thousand catties. Is it possible that it can't dissolve the weight of the iron ball?"
Li Qinzai blinked and said with a smile, "Grandpa, please look carefully."
After speaking, Li Qinzai pulled the length of the iron chain hanging from the hook, and kept pulling and pulling.
The iron chain made a clicking sound, causing the two iron wheels on the hook to rotate.
A magical scene happened. The chain tied to the iron ball suddenly tightened, became tighter and tighter, and began to tremble slightly.
Li Qinzai was still holding the chain, looking extremely relaxed.
And the iron ball weighing a thousand kilograms, under the astonished gaze of the Li family, actually rose from the ground and was suspended above the ground.
Li Qinzai continued to pull the iron chain, and the iron ball hung higher and higher, and finally reached the top of the conical iron frame.
Li Ji took a breath and stared at the iron ball in shock.
Li Siwen and Li Cui next to them also had different expressions.
Li Siwen couldn't believe it and blinked hard, as if to prove that the scene in front of him was an illusion.
Li Cui didn't care so much. The things her son made were so magical. No matter how magical it was, it was my son who made it anyway.
Therefore, after the initial brief shock, Li Cui's expression was gradually replaced by one full of pride, and her eyes were full of pride.
The iron ball rose to the top of the iron frame and stopped. At this time, it was about one foot high from the ground and was still hanging steadily in mid-air.
Li Ji's eyes flashed, and he suddenly said in a deep voice: "Qin Zai, put down the iron ball."
Li Qinzai put down the iron ball as instructed.
After the iron ball landed, Li Ji quickly stepped forward. He first checked the authenticity of the iron ball and pushed it hard. When he found that it couldn't be pushed, he turned around and said, "Let's do some powerful moves."
Several burly tribes stepped forward.
Li Ji calmly ordered several soldiers to lift the iron ball.
Each of them took a position according to the order, and used all their strength to lift the iron ball from the ground for a long time.
Li Ji nodded. Judging from the struggling expressions of several people, this iron ball really weighed a thousand catties.
In other words, the thing that grandson made can easily lift a thousand kilograms of objects.
If this thing can be popularized in the future, it will be used in building palaces and houses, the army building fortifications, civilians tamping soil and hanging beams, mining and building roads in the mountains, shipbuilding in shipyards, salvaging on the water, etc.
If this is true, the Tang Dynasty will reduce the number of people's corvee work in the future, and the government will be able to recruit fewer people.
Li Ji's eyes flickered. He was not only a famous general, but also a minister of the Tang Dynasty.
Gradually, he thought more and more deeply.
This thing will be of great use to the Tang Dynasty!
