Chapter 25 Your Majesty, You Have Changed

The waterwheel was still running. Li Yi listened to the sound of the thresher and threshing, and found it too noisy.

But the same sound is so beautiful to other people's ears.

No one doesn't know how powerful this artifact is.

In the past, the family would farm without any time off from the beginning to the end of the year.

Some people fall down from being tired from plowing the ground, some people fall down from being tired from harvesting, and some people fall ill after harvesting and threshing.

However, things are different now.

There are many good things, and there are new curved shaft plows for plowing the land. Only one ox and one person can plow three to four acres of land in one day.

Use that big winnowing pan to harvest wheat and sweep it out.

Nowadays, there are still such heaven-defying things that should not appear in the human world.

How many people have been saved?

There is no need to worry about the rain damaging the wheat and rice during harvesting and threshing, and there is no need to worry about people falling first while working.

"This object is made of wood and has suffered excessive wear and tear. It must be replaced with additional parts."

Li Yi shouted loudly, letting his voice drown out the noise at the scene.

He pointed out the shortcomings, using the principle of lever gear linkage differential, without metal bearings, and wooden components are easily worn out.

Everyone listened and didn't care at all.

Isn't the waterwheel made of wood? Wheels are not made of wood?

Make more, and if something breaks, take it apart and replace it. It's better than using a roller and a flail.

Li Yi looked at everyone's expressions, and no one thought the thing was bad.

Then he shouted: "In the area near Zhuangzi, if you have harvested wheat, you can come and thresh it, and you will not be charged."

Wow! Discussions started.

People on Zhuangzi are feeling distressed, why should we let others use our things for free?

If you borrow a mill, you have to give grain, and if you borrow a cow, you have to give millet, and the cow must be fed.

We should also charge a little money for the waterwheels and threshing machines in our village.

Others don't think as the banker does.

When they heard that it was free of charge, the people in Zhangjiazhuangzi were the most tempted.

It takes a lot of effort to build it yourself, and building a water tanker is even more troublesome.

The two sides are next to each other, so it doesn't take much effort to transport them over and take off the kernels and then take them back.

The eunuch in charge of the Huangzhuang looked at the emperor, the queen, and the King of Song, wondering whether he should come and use it when the Huangzhuang was harvesting wheat.

As soon as the eunuch's idea came to his mind, he heard Li Longji speak.

"Brother Yi is really a virtuous person. It would be great if the Imperial Village above could also build waterwheels and threshing machines for the use of the neighbors."

The eunuch had enlightenment, an epiphany.

Not only can I not use Li Yi's things for nothing, I also have to make them for others to use.

Li Chengqi echoed: "What the third brother said is absolutely true. They are all Zhuangzi. Brother Yi's Zhuangzi has raised many people and made money. Huangzhuang..."

He shook his head as he spoke.

The eunuch's heart suddenly went cold.

King Song, have I offended you? Do you want to trap me to death?

Li Yi's Zhuangzi is great, so don't you call him brothers? I am a eunuch, you compare me with him?

Should I argue with Prime Minister Yao Chong again?

How can anyone bully people like this?

Then the eunuch saw the emperor meditating there, and his whole body felt bad.

Your Majesty, your Majesty, you don’t want to be serious, do you?

Li Yi sells soy sauce, but I don't, so why don't you squeeze the oil out of me?

At the critical moment, the eunuch suddenly became wise.

He walked up to Li Yimin in two steps and said, "Dr. Li, why don't you cooperate with Huangzhuang and Lijiazhuang?"

Well, Li Yi took five steps back as quickly as possible and looked at the eunuch warily.

He refused and cooperated with the eunuch? How can I reason with someone who was tricked to death?

Li Yi knew the tricks in the palace and made money for the palace. Then the people in the palace became greedy if they had the slightest power.

After cooperation, can one's own Zhuangzi run away?

"Dongzhu Li, what do you mean by this?" The eunuch was shocked. I finally thought of a way. Why are you hiding so far away?

"Oh, the boss is too busy and really can't care about anything else. Please... Supervisor Haihan." Li Yi handed over.

The eunuch suddenly looked resentful, as if he had been ruthlessly abandoned.

"Brother Yi, I'm not busy with the alliance. I want to take away two threshers. What do you think, third brother?"

Li Chengqi took the words and wanted to get a water-driven and pedal-driven threshing machine, but he had to ask the emperor.

"Yes!" Li Longji nodded, took it back, dismantled it, and asked others to learn how to make it, and then use it in Jingzhao Mansion first.

Once you know a few useful things elsewhere, you will naturally learn them.

"Song De, bring the two you have prepared." Li Yi ordered the steward.

The steward shouted, and someone came over there with a cart, a flatbed cart, and a wooden wheel, coming along the cement road.

The main road from Zhuangzi to the edge of Bashui is a cement road that connects to the playground.

It is easy to transport back and forth and is not afraid of mud.

When it snows in the winter, cleaning is easy.

If the smelting technology and manufacturing process were not up to standard, Li Yi would even want to build a pedal tricycle.

There are two pieces of equipment on the flatbed truck, and a stack of paper is placed on one piece of equipment.

Li Yi picked it up and handed it to Li Chengqi: "Brother, this is the blueprint."

Li Chengqi took it with both hands, thought for a moment, and handed it to Li Longji: "Third brother, you keep it."

Li Longji is satisfied, good things must be put into my hands.

"Eldest brother, third brother, and sister-in-law, why don't you come into the village and have lunch before leaving." Li Yi invited.

"I'm not going to eat it. I'll go back and find someone to cook it now." Li Longji refused. He couldn't throw it away in court.

A group of people left carrying the equipment.

The people who came to buy soy sauce and boiled round eggs also received a blueprint, and they discussed among themselves what to do.

The eunuch of Huangzhuang continued his resentment and trotted back to Huangzhuang with one of his drawings.

Zhang Xiao, the village leader of Zhangjia Village, didn't ask for the drawings. He said that the craftsmen in the village couldn't understand them because he turned over them a few times and didn't understand them.

His request was simple: people from the village would come and thresh the grain, and when the harvest was over and no one was using it, he would just take it back and tear it apart.

The people on Zhuangzi carried and threshed the wheat.

Song De carried out the auction, and the pigs that came one after another were penned up, and the pig pens of each house were together.

The village no longer accepts chickens and ducks, there are too many, and they have been buying bran and grass.

Poor people have no chaff, they are all eaten, and even so, sometimes there is not enough to eat.

Those who were wealthy and had a lot of land would have some in their homes, which they would use to feed their livestock and feed the servants.

Li Yizhuang collected it, and the price was 10% higher, so the rich man sold it.

The poor took advantage of the grass, UU Reading www.uukanｓhu.net collected it and took it to Zhuangzi in exchange for grain.

Li Yi's lifespan will be increased by one or two, and the exchange is trade.

Zhuangzi got grass to feed the chickens and ducks, while others got food and lived easier.

Now if you switch to a pig, you will get a 15% discount. If you buy a single boiled round egg and exchange it for a pig, you will get a 20% discount.

A five-spice tea egg at 20% off costs 400 yuan, which is more expensive than a bucket of rice. The duck egg is pickled and not cooked yet.

Seeing the summer grain harvest, grain prices will fall back.

There is also a lot of chaff, which is good for feeding pigs.

Stock up on plenty of manure and straw for your digester in the winter.

When the auction started, Li Yi put his hands behind his back and strolled back to the yard.

Li Longji hurried back to the imperial city with his things.

Li Chengqi went to his palace, and Queen Wang entered the harem to talk to the maids and eunuchs about what happened today.

Li Longji did not enter the Zichen Hall and missed the available time for the meeting.

He asked people to carry things to Xingqing Hall, where important ministers would meet Li Longji if they had something to do.

The ministers are at work at the moment. The emperor did not come to court early, and the ministers are in a bad mood.

How could the emperor run away without any trouble? He even took the queen with him.

Your Majesty, you have changed. You were before...

"Call the three ministers, oh, the minister of the Ministry of Industry and the young eunuch of the Shaofu are also here." Li Longji said to Gao Lishi.

Gao Lishi kept his eyes on the two things he had never seen before. Following His Majesty's instructions, he hurriedly called for someone.

After a while, five people arrived.

Three prime ministers, Yao Chong, Zhang Shuo and Lu Huaishen, walked in front.

Wei Zhigu, who had just been moved from the position of prime minister to the position of minister of the Ministry of Industry, lowered his head in the back.

The last one is Yuan Qianyao, the young eunuch of the Shaofu.

The five people first bowed their hands to Li Longji, then turned their heads and focused on two things.
