The secret guard angrily told everything he had heard, with a look of indignation on his face: "No, I can't stand this. I will go back to find the master and see how to deal with them."
The other secret guard was also disgusted: "Then go ahead. Don't worry, I will take good care of Miss Xiaoxi."
The secret guard walked very quickly and after returning to the county government office, Qian Jiujiu and others had already gone to bed. The secret guard had no choice but to tell Ziyuan, the maid beside Qian Jiujiu, about the matter.
After hearing this, Ziyuan was furious: "You go back first, I will tell the master tomorrow, but I am afraid the master will not take action against such a person."
Sure enough, the next day, when Qian Jiujiu learned about it, she had a blank expression on her face: "Don't interfere in this matter, I'm sure Xiao Xi can handle it herself. As for the young master, don't tell her about such a disgusting thing."
Even though these people have no status, they dream one better than the other. Such people are worthy of being her daughter-in-law.
Beibei grew up in a pampered environment and doesn't like petty girls. She doesn't even like Fang Xiaoxi, so she's afraid that Fang Shanshan will be even more annoying to her.
So Qian Jiujiu decided not to tell anyone and just looked at Ziyuan beside him: "Is the master not back yet?"
Ziyuan shook her head: "My Lord and Master are still busy in the front hall."
A whole night has passed. Qian Jiujiu frowned and said, "You are really hard-working. Let me make some breakfast and send it over later."
After Nannanbeibei got up, they planned to go to Fangjia Village. However, Qianjiujiu did not plan to go today. These kids were not easy to mess with, so she was not worried.
Bringing the prepared breakfast, she came to the front hall and said, "Husband, you have been busy all night, but what is the result? I brought breakfast over, eat first."
Qian Jiujiu was rarely considerate, so Mu Yexiao naturally wanted to show his support. He looked at his subordinates with a smile and said, "Come over to have dinner. After dinner, we will follow what we discussed last night."
During the day and night yesterday, Mu Yexiao had the carpenters make nearly sixty threshers. The rest would be almost finished in two more days.
After breakfast, Mu Yexiao sent people to notify the villages below to come and get the threshers. Then Mu Yexiao himself did not go, so he sent people with the drawings of the threshers and several threshers to the provincial capital.
Under his operation, the people of Xianyou Town can all benefit from this thresher. But this is not enough, in addition to Xianyou Town, other towns and even the imperial court should also implement it.
After all, with the thresher, it would be much more convenient for the people of Da Zhou to collect grain. When Mu Yexiao and Qian Jiujiu talked about this matter, the drawings and the thresher were sent out.
Qian Jiujiu blinked and looked at Mu Yexiao: "If that's the case, why don't we do the good thing and send some farm tools back so that the emperor can forge them."
Mu Yexiao thought about it and decided that it was a good idea. Anyway, the emergence of such agricultural tools would only promote the development of agriculture in Da Zhou and would not change anything, so he agreed.
The two of them went into the study, Qian Jiujiu started to draw, and Mu Yexiao also started to write. He looked at Qian Jiujiu and said, "Jiuer, if the creator of this farm tool is still you, it's a bit unrealistic."
Qian Jiujiu has indeed revealed a lot of things so far. Although it would not arouse the suspicion of the people if she revealed more, it was different for those in power. It was not that she suspected the emperor, not to mention that there were many powerful people in the world besides her brother.
Moreover, at their current status, it really can't be any higher. Qian Jiujiu instantly understood what Mu Yexiao meant, and directly started to tease: "I didn't expect that our upright and upright King of Side by Side would also start to pave the way for the next generation."
Mu Yexiao was somewhat helpless: "You, of course you can't give this thing to Nanbeibeibei, they don't need it."
Qian Jiujiu was stunned. That was right. Just because they were their children, they didn’t need these things at all. “So what do you mean?”
Mu Yexiao raised his eyebrows, not sure if Qian Jiujiu really valued Fang Xiaoxi: "Your disciple, no matter what, she is a peasant girl who rose to fame overnight. If you don't give her some credit, how can she gain a foothold in Kyoto in the future? You will also lose face when the time comes."
Qian Jiujiu thought about it and it seemed to be the case. However, it was still a bit difficult to lie: "How about this, we just say that we got it from a farmer, and we will talk about the credit later. What do you think?"
Mu Yexiao said this only for Qian Jiujiu, so of course he would listen to Qian Jiujiu: "I'll listen to you."
After saying that, he quickly wrote on the paper, and after it was finished, he asked someone to send it to the capital as fast as possible.
After not sleeping all night, Mu Yexiao was still very energetic: "Come on, I'll take you to see the finished threshing machines. I guess someone will come to pick them up soon."
The threshing machines had been carried to the gate of the county government by the county yamen runners. More than sixty threshing machines were arranged in six rows, which looked quite spectacular.
The bailiffs went to notify them on horseback, and the notice was posted yesterday. People in every village are waiting!
Now that they had the news, they flocked directly to the county government office. After all, some came early, while others would have to wait a few more days.
There were many people coming to the county government office to collect the gifts, and it was very lively. At this time, Tong Ruyu also found Nan Nan, and it was finally confirmed these days that his sister would live with him in the future.
He also wanted to do other things. When he heard about the thresher, he immediately saw a business opportunity. Of course, such a business opportunity is not available to ordinary people, so he came to Nan Nan.
Fang Xiaoxi had threshed all the millet at home, but some of it was still not clean. She made another simple rake, called a bamboo rake.
It is a bamboo pole with a row of twistable bamboo rafts hanging on it. The ground is covered with uncleanly threshed rice straw, and the remaining grains on the straw can be knocked down by swinging the bamboo rake.
It was very convenient and simple. At this moment, Fang's father was waving the bamboo rake vigorously, while Fang Xiaoxi was sweeping the grains on the side, preparing to dry them in the hot sun.
Nannanbeibei and others were also helping, and they saw Tong Ruyu coming: "Brother Tong, are you here to see me?"
Tong Ruyu nodded: "Yes, I want to discuss something with you."
Tong Ruyan also came along and was very happy to see Beibei and Mo Yunyao. They had been together on the way back and were very familiar with each other.
"Beibei, Yaoyao, you are all here, what are you busy with? I'll come and help too."
Beibei quickly said, "Sister Yan, don't move around, just stand aside. If you touch this thing, you will get itchy easily, so just stand aside."
Tong Ruyan was confused, but still stood there obediently. Tong Ruyu also said his purpose: "I just value the threshing machine. I also have a group of carpenters under me who can make threshing machines. I think the government office can't estimate so many, and the rich people can't wait to line up. What do you think?"
Nan Nan was extremely talented in making money. It wasn't that he didn't want to do it before, but he just couldn't say it out loud, lest his parents scold him for competing with the people for profits.
But now that Tong Ruyu has said so, it is not a bad idea. Looking at Tong Ruyu: "Since Brother Tong said so, then let me go back and discuss it with my father and mother. After all, the blueprints are theirs."
Then he looked at Beibei and the others and said, "Beibei, I have something to do so I will go back first. I will pick you up in the evening."
Beibei said, "Okay, you guys go first."
Just as I was about to leave, I saw a woman in a floral dress approaching me: "Hello, Master Nan Nan. You've worked hard all morning. My father asked me to bring you some tea."
Nan Nan couldn't help but frown. This woman's eyes were full of calculations. She even had her eyes on him. It was simply disgusting.
"No."
After saying that, he left with Tong Ruyu to avoid being entangled by unnecessary people.
Bei Bei saw this scene and asked Fang Xiaoxi directly: "Who was that woman just now?"
Fang Xiaoxi also looked up and was very surprised: "That's Fang Shanshan, my cousin."
Beibei subconsciously felt that he didn't like it and snorted, "When one person succeeds, everyone around him will benefit."
Fang Xiaoxi frowned, but still didn't explain. She never forced people she couldn't get along with.
Fang Shanshan has already walked up to Beibei. No matter what, she has decided on Nannan. In Beibei's eyes, she is her sister-in-law.
"Miss, have a cup of tea. You've worked hard all morning, Xiao Xi has too. How can we really let you help with the work? You don't even know how to serve me well. I don't know what Second Uncle is thinking."
Beibei was a little surprised. Isn't this her cousin? Why is she being so rude
"I don't drink, but thank you anyway."
Look at that dirty bowl with a black layer on it. It's simply impossible to drink from it, okay
She had been trying very hard to keep herself from getting angry. Bringing this thing over was simply humiliating herself.
She had always thought that although farmers were poor, they still loved cleanliness. At least Fang Xiaoxi's home was very clean, unlike this girl in a floral dress, which was hard to describe.
Fang Xiaoxi also walked into the room and quickly brought out two bowls of tea: "Drink some water to calm your nerves."
Beibei's mouth twitched, and he realized that Fang Xiaoxi wasn't that annoying after all. He took the glass and drank it to avoid feeling nauseous and wanting to vomit.
Fang Shanshan glared at Fang Xiaoxi, then left with her water.
Beibei was puzzled: "Why is she glaring at you?"
Fang Xiaoxi sighed: "Nannan has gone back, why don't you go back too. There's not much left for my family."
Why are you chasing people away? Beibei was confused and refused: "No, I have a lot of things to do. I heard from others that picking ears of corn is also very interesting. You have to take me with you."
It seems that he has set his sights on picking ears of corn: "It's not that fun, are you sure you want to go?"
