The Wang family was so generous, so they would definitely reciprocate the gift. At this point, Zhao Si no longer refused Wang Li's kindness.
The gift given by the Wang family was actually very measured. It was not too much, but it was definitely generous. Wang Li also showed an attitude that if you don't accept it, you don't treat me as a brother. Zhao Si could only reluctantly accept it. Take it.
She is definitely not the maid sent by Zhao Simao and the Wang family.
"Brother, can I borrow these books?" Jing hesitated for a long time and asked softly.
"Of course you can!" Zhao Si waved his hand.
Jing was his loyal first mate when he was on the ship. After returning to Qin, he did not even return home to follow him to Xianyang. The friendship between the two was life-long. In fact, Zhao Si never forgot the old man on the ship. brother.
Apart from eating, drinking and having fun with Wang Li, Zhao Si spent most of the rest of the time teaching them how to read.
Some people are smart and some are stupid, but the knowledge of this era is too precious. Zhao Si is willing to pay it, and everyone has to grit his teeth to read. Basically, there is no one who can't read or read and is proud of it.
Jing is the smarter one, and he basically knows all the commonly used words clearly.
Jing was overjoyed when he heard this, and the look on his face became serious when he picked up the bamboo slips.
"There's no rush. Let's move back into the house first so everyone can read the transcript." Zhao Si said.
Wang Li has made it very clear that this is a gift, not a grant.
Zhao Si has the right to dispose of these books at will, and Zhao Si has no intention of becoming a scholar. Knowledge can be copied and is a matter of benefit and at no cost. Zhao Si cannot make it possible for everyone in this era to read, but he can start from his own side.
Wang Li stood aside noncommittally, but it was obvious that the young man also appreciated Zhao Si's informal way of handling matters.
Zhao Si did not cherish it as a family treasure. You must know that the books sent by the Wang family were annotated.
In this era, books with annotations and books without annotations are completely different concepts.
Books without annotations are difficult for ordinary people to segment into sentences even if they know the characters.
And books with annotations may become heirlooms if they come across talented and intelligent people. Of course, the level of the annotator will also have a certain impact.
And the book annotations that can be collected by the Wang family are basically considered to be of the highest quality.
When Jing heard this, he was overjoyed and full of respect for Zhao Si. He started moving books in a hurry.
Zhao Si was able to gain the respect and love of so many crew members, and his halo was indispensable, but Zhao Si's own personality charm was also a top priority.
Living in a foreign country, traveling across the ocean, and meeting a brother of the same age who is full of affection, it is hard not to fall in love with him.
"Now that my brother has made his home in Xianyang, why don't we take a look together?" Wang Li said with a smile.
"But it will take some time to move in. The maids and slaves are still being selected. It is a bit deserted and needs a little repair."
Zhao Si shook his head: "I'm not in a hurry, let's go to the military craftsman's place first."
You have to prepare a return gift. Although wheelchairs and recliners are not precious things, Zhao Si doesn't have anything valuable on his body now. Besides, what valuable thing can make Chehou Wang Jian fancy? It's better to put some effort into it and get some for the elderly.
There is also a horse saddle. This thing is quite simple, but it has great practical significance. Zhao Si thought of this thing when he and Wang Li were hunting, but in the past two days, he was addicted to "Five Beetles" and "Xianxue" and couldn't help himself.
As a time-traveler, I won’t talk about difficult things. Things that are obviously very simple, but if you don’t figure them out, it is simply a kind of torture.
There is also papermaking. There has been no news about it for a long time since Zhao Si vetoed the idea of using grass and wood fibers to weave paper proposed by the military craftsman some time ago.
"What are you going to do?" Wang Li became interested when he heard that he was looking for a military craftsman.
Because Zhao Si had made a lot of small objects before, basically as soon as Zhao Si asked for a military craftsman, Wang Li knew that Zhao Si was going to make something good again.
"Isn't Marquis Che Che's legs and feet inconvenient? I don't have much, so I happened to think of an object that can make Marquis Che more comfortable. Also, let's take a look at how the paper is doing." Zhao Si answered.
"What is it?" Wang Li became interested and enthusiastically led the way for Zhao Si.
"A small object for lying down and sitting on." Zhao Si smiled.
"You said those plants and trees can really be turned into paper? If the plants and trees could be turned into paper, how much money would they make?" Wang Li continued to ask.
"This piece of paper is not the other piece of paper. It's possible. It's just estimated that it will take time. If we really want to get it out, I'm afraid we'll just talk about it." Zhao Si smiled.
Paper in this era refers to silk, which is very expensive.
Talking and laughing all the way, we arrived at the military craftsman's place.
It is still the same craftsman who made small things such as the plow and the vernier caliper for Zhao Si before.
Zhao Si didn't hesitate and drew the basic models of a recliner and wheelchair directly on the ground.
This thing is very simple, at least for the craftsmen of this era. However, due to customs and etiquette and low demand, there is no market in this era, so it was not born.
Later, didn’t Zhuge Liang get a four-wheeled vehicle?
This kind of pure carpentry work is the easiest for these craftsmen. If Zhao Si briefly explains the needs and uses, what the craftsmen can produce will only be better than what Zhao Si needs.
"Besides, these two things are more important!"
After explaining the recliner and rocking chair, Zhao Si began to draw the stirrups and saddle.
"So and so...and so and so..." Zhao Si compared while drawing.
"Although this item is simple, it is of great significance. No accessories or anything superfluous!"
In ancient history, the stirrup is probably the simplest and most practical invention.
"What are you..." Wang Li laughed while looking at Zhao Si's serious explanation.
"You are not good at riding horses, so you should work hard on equestrian skills. There are horses in the camp, why do you still use such a clever tool?" Wang Li looked at Zhao Si with a smile, thinking that Zhao Si was going to find another way to overtake in a curve.
After all, the principle of the saddle is so simple that it does not require any popular science explanation. In this era, anyone who has learned to ride a horse will be able to understand its use when seeing this thing.
"Nonsense!" Zhao Si rolled his eyes.
"How can I be a trickster?" Zhao Si looked at Wang Li and said.
"This thing is a trick for me, but what about Da Qin?" Zhao Si directly rose to the national level.
But having said that, the unfriendly experience of riding naked, coupled with the painful pain in the big crotch, is indeed one of the driving forces for Zhao Si's plan to create a saddle in this era.
When Wang Li heard this, he reacted instantly.
Then his expression became serious!
"Don't worry about the wheelchair or recliner. Get these two things out first!"
The craftsmen were also surprised and enlightened.
This thing is so simple, you can tell what it is used for at a glance, and it won't take long to copy it.
The reason why it didn't appear in this era is just because it was so short.
In fact, many things in this era have not been born, not because the technology is not up to par, it is really just a little bit missing.
It was purely a creative question, but these craftsmen didn't tremble. It gave these craftsmen a feeling that I didn't expect that the problem could be solved so easily and so easily.
Zhao Si, on the other hand, fell into deep thought.
It's a three-piece set right now, it's three pieces, right?
What's the other one?
horseshoe! right! horseshoe!
(There is a group!!! I finally figured out how to create a group, spread the flowers!!!)
