Chapter 11 Uphill and Downhill
The workload of tying hemp rope is obviously much less than pushing a carriage.
In just half an hour, the carriages were ready.
In fact, while the craftsmen were tying the hemp ropes, the carriages were already driving up the steep slope.
Although not every car can get on smoothly.
But with three or five people, the stroller is very safe.
This does not require the help of craftsmen, Yang Ting's strong women can easily complete it.
Xun was worried that there would be trouble later, so he led a few people to Yang Ting cautiously.
"Lord Captain!"
"It shouldn't be difficult for the carriage to go up the steep slope after tying the hemp rope!"
"I wonder if I can wait..."
Standing high on the horse, Yang Ting glanced at Xun Shen and Shen Bing behind him, and snorted.
"You guys have some skills!"
"but……"
"Why wasn't this method used earlier?"
"It will also save me from the hardships of wind and rain along the way!"
Xun was stunned for a moment, then quickly answered.
"Report to the Captain!"
"This method was just thought of by the scoundrel!"
"Otherwise, why wouldn't we say it?"
After saying that, he turned around and winked at Shen Bing.
Shen Bing didn't know what this meant, so he handed over his hand and answered:
"What the master said is true!"
"If I had known this method earlier, how could I have been stupid enough to push the cart?"
As he spoke, Shen Bing lifted up his clothes.
"Captain, please look at me, I'm covered in mud and water."
"This, and this..."
Yang Ting seemed not to want to hear Shen Bing's explanation and waved her hand to interrupt Shen Bing's words.
"That's all!"
"You can be considered as meritorious, and I won't pursue you any further!"
"Go about your military duties!"
"Don't delay the construction period and blame it on our captain!"
When Xunru received the amnesty, he immediately said "Promise" and led everyone away.
Only Shen Bing didn't know what was good and what was good. He walked a few steps and then turned back.
"Lord Captain!"
"We have already moved the carriage up the steep slope."
"There's nothing going on for us next, right?"
Yang Ting stepped back and took a few steps, looked at the orderly convoy around her and replied:
"Nothing happens without you!"
Xun Sheng was afraid of causing trouble, so he secretly pulled Shen Bing.
But Shen Bing still added.
"If there are any problems later..."
"I don't have to take responsibility for waiting, right?"
Yang Ting frowned impatiently:
"Why are you so verbose!"
"Are you still worried that our captain will break his promise?"
Shen Bing secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said:
"That's good!"
"I just want to confirm!"
"Sorry to bother you, farewell!"
After saying that, he cupped his hands and turned around to leave.
Xun couldn't help but mutter a few times, complaining that Shen Bing was looking for trouble.
Shen Bing didn't explain, he just nodded in agreement.
A group of craftsmen were finally able to return to the gap in the city wall to "move bricks".
Cang flattered Shen Bing fiercely.
"Senior brother, I knew you had a way!"
“It’s breathtaking!”
"A few lengths of hemp rope solved a big problem!"
"This can almost be said to have saved the lives of more than a hundred people on my 'gunner'!"
…
Shen Bing was also used to Cang's nagging, so he ignored it or responded with a few casual remarks.
Fatty Tun looked at Shen Bing with a look of astonishment.
When carrying rocks, he always rushed to use his strength, for fear of exhausting Shen Bing.
In fact, other craftsmen are similar, always taking care of Shen Bing intentionally or unintentionally.
If there is an easy job such as pounding rammed earth, let Shen Bing do it by default.
So Shen Bing's job is quite easy.
But Fatty Tun seemed to have never forgotten what happened just now.
Ask as soon as you sit down to rest.
"Lord Gongcheng!"
"The villain is puzzled!"
"Why can a carriage go up a steep slope by adding a few lengths of hemp rope?"
"And the friction, the roughness...what are they?"
This made Shen Bing a little embarrassed.
If we really want to explain it, it will involve the issue of gravity, and then the decomposition of force and so on.
These things seem simple, but they can cause many problems.
And then these many questions will lead to more questions...
So Shen Bing simply didn't explain.
"Even if I tell you, you still don't understand!"
"Let's study for a few more years before we talk!"
"Work hard and you will learn these skills one day!"
Fatty Tun was stunned for a moment after being deceived, and couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard the end.
"Dangdang...seriously?"
"I, also...can have the same...skills as adults?"
"Thank you so much... for your guidance! I'm so grateful... for you!"
Xun doesn't care at all about these.
Perhaps it was because he had repeatedly objected before, but the facts proved him wrong.
This made him a bit embarrassed as a master.
What Shen Bing didn't know was that Xun already regretted it in his heart:
"If I had known earlier, I should have pretended to be noble. If this guy wants to try, just let him try!"
"What does success or failure have to do with me?"
"It's not like I can't stand down like now!"
"But...who would have thought that a few lengths of hemp rope can solve the problem?"
"It's all like a magic trick!"
"We'll have to be more careful in the future!"
"It's so difficult to have such an apprentice!"
…
At this time, Shen Bing came forward, holding a clean bandage in his hand.
"master!"
"Let me bandage your wound!"
"If too much water enters the wound, it will not be good!"
Xun said "hmm" and his expression softened slightly.
After all, he is his apprentice, and if his apprentice makes meritorious deeds, he, as a master, will be proud of himself.
Besides, this apprentice is so sensible.
Unlike that Cang...
Thinking of this, I glanced at Cang who was trying to deal with the millet porridge, and couldn't help but let out a "hum".
Cang shivered for no reason.
While Shen Bing was bandaging his wound, Xunjiu spoke with sincerity.
"You're so ignorant!"
"The mission is completed!"
"What's the point of talking all that nonsense to the captain?"
"If the captain adds more trouble to us, wouldn't it mean we have nothing to do?"
"One careless decision could affect our lives!"
…
Shen Bing waited quietly for Xun to finish speaking, and then asked:
"Master, after you go up the steep slope, how far does it go before it goes downhill?"
Xun recalled it and replied:
"About three or five miles!"
"Master has walked this road before, and he still has some impression of it!"
"Why do you ask this?"
Shen Bing asked again:
"you say……"
"Do they know that the hemp rope tied to the wheel is only suitable for going uphill and not downhill?"
Xun gently stroked his goatee and answered slowly:
"This hemp rope was all your idea!"
"Others are as confused as mud."
"If you don't say it, how will others know..."
When he said this, he suddenly seemed to remember something and stood up with a "thumping" sound as if being pricked by a needle.
"What?"
"What did you say?"
“Isn’t hemp rope suitable for going downhill?”
"Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"You, you, you have caused big trouble again this time!"
"That's the general's daughter, a lieutenant in the Chinese Army!"
