After harvesting the rice, the prefect put it on the thresher and soon the rice became clean.
The emperor hurried over to take a look and found that it was not only clean but also threshed. There were only some leaves inside, which had no effect at all.

"Call everyone here." The emperor glanced at Si Nong and gave an order.
Don’t you have good eyesight and don’t you know to prepare the people who will harvest the rice in advance
Si Nong felt a little aggrieved, as he didn't know what it was used for.
Soon the people were gathered together, and the prefect spoke: "Your Majesty, threshing the grain does not require so many people. You can divide them into five teams. One team will harvest, one team will thresh, one team will bag, one team will transport it back to dry, and the rest will clean the leaves on the field."
"Do as he says."
"The threshing team, come and see how I do it." The prefect demonstrated it to them again.
After watching it once, everyone knew how to do it. The prefect got off the threshing machine, looked at them and said, "Be careful with your hands. Don't push too far in, or you'll hit your hands."
"yes."
Everyone started to work in a division of labor. Seeing the ten threshers working at the same time, they soon threshed a large area. Si Nong was very excited: "Your Majesty, who made this thing? It's amazing. If this thing can be popularized in places where rice is grown a lot, there won't be so much rice sprouting every year."
The speed is really fast, and the threshing is done directly.

"Indeed, the Ministry of Industry should make the product as soon as possible and then distribute it to various cities." It would be best if the drawings were made public, but the emperor was afraid that after they were made public, someone would use the thresher to make money, which would go against the original intention. He would rather go slower than let the people spend more money.
"It's the Emperor."
When he returned to the palace with the prefect, the emperor asked, "Who made this thing? I will reward you handsomely."
"Your Majesty, it's a girl named Wang Jinhe."
Su Jiu, who was following the emperor, looked at the prefect in surprise, and then returned to normal. He said that he seemed to have seen him somewhere, and it turned out to be at Xiaohe's house.
"Oh? The person who made this thing is actually a girl? Did she say what she wanted?" the emperor asked with interest.
The prefect coughed lightly and said with a dry laugh, "Jin He girl said that if the emperor doesn't want to reward her, then forget it. But if he wants to reward her, she asked me to ask if it can be given to her."
"Land?" The emperor looked at the prefect in surprise, his eyes full of disbelief. A little girl actually wanted land
"Yes, I heard from Miss Jinhe that she will try to improve the rice next year. Then the yield will be relatively higher. This way, her family's land will not be enough. What she meant was that she could get some land for free, so she wouldn't have to spend her own money to buy it." The prefect couldn't help laughing as he spoke.
The emperor was amused by the prefect's words: "Can you do this?"

This girl named Wang Jinhe is quite capable. She actually dares to negotiate conditions with him like this. However, he still has a good impression of Wang Jinhe's approach.
"What if I don't give her anything?" the emperor asked curiously. He really wanted to know how the girl would react if he gave her nothing.
"I also asked Xiaohe, and Xiaohe said that when she took it out, she didn't think about what she could get. If she got something, that would be great, but if not, she wouldn't be disappointed. She said she could make money, but the land was just hard to buy." He couldn't help but laugh when he thought of the self-righteous look on Wang Jinhe's face when she told him this.
"This little girl is quite insightful. Then reward her with 1,000 taels of gold and 100 mu of good paddy fields. You can find a specific location close to her home. Tell her that if she can really grow rice that yields more next year, I will give her 5 mu of land if she increases the yield by 100 kilograms."
"Yes, I will definitely convey the emperor's words."
"Okay, back off."
"yes."
When he and Su Jiu were the only ones left in the imperial study, the emperor asked, "Do you know this man?" He seemed a little surprised just now.
Su Jiu smiled and nodded: "The emperor has also heard of this person, but he just doesn't know his name."
"Oh? Who is it? Tell me about it." The emperor immediately became interested. He had actually heard of him
"The melons that I brought back before were grown by her." Su Jiu explained with a smile.
"The person who grows melons is the same person who makes this thresher?" This is too much of a coincidence.
This little girl is actually a good farmer, no wonder she is thinking about having land.
"The vegetables and fruits grown by the same person, Xiaohe, are also very good, but it is a little troublesome to transport them back. Besides, they can slowly nourish a person's body. My grandfather ate them for more than a month, and all his minor ailments disappeared." Su Jiu's words showed his affection for Wang Jinhe.
The overly intimate address made the emperor even more curious: "You have a good relationship with her?"
"She is my sister-in-law, my brother's wife, and they have a very cute son." Su Jiu thought of Xiaobao, his eyes full of love.
The emperor looked at Su Jiu in shock. That brat Su Yu already had a son
But when did this happen? Wasn't he still unmarried? If he wasn't married, where did this son's love come from
"If I remember correctly, that little bastard Su Yu hasn't gotten married yet, right?" If he was married, he should be able to know.
"Actually, it was an accident. My half-brother drugged him more than four years ago, and he got pregnant accidentally. We found the person a few months ago. He has been there recently. If I hadn't gone there to buy melons this time, I wouldn't have known about it." The brat kept it a secret. If he hadn't found out about this by accident, who knows when he would have brought Xiaobao back.
"So that's how it is. When are they getting married? After they get married, they should live here, right? Then they can supply vegetables to the palace?" The emperor said after thinking for a while.
"Probably not for the time being, but the two have already gotten engaged. As for the vegetables, they can't be shipped over, but Xiaohe said that when there are grapes, she will make her own wine, and then it can be delivered. However, the goods need to be inspected on the spot, and we will not be responsible after we leave." Su Jiu repeated what Wang Jinhe said to the emperor.
"Of course." The emperor said with emotion: "I didn't expect that she could actually make wine. If she can really make it, you go talk to Su Yu and tell her that 80% of the wine will be supplied to the palace. They will get the price they deserve."
"yes."
The prefect came happily and left happily. He had a good harvest this time. Although there was no substantial reward from the emperor, he and the county magistrate were able to exchange titles. In the future, as long as Xiaohe has more good things, they will probably be able to make further progress.
When you go back, ask the county magistrate to take good care of you and don't let anyone bully you.
