The emperor glanced at him. His confident and calm look made him very satisfied. The emperor pretended to be calm and said, "Then let's give it a try! Let me see the effect."
Chu Tiankuo glanced at the pine and cypress trees.
Songbai immediately walked to the foot-operated thresher and picked up a bundle of rice. The rice ears on the rice were so full that they were bent under the weight.
When the Minister of Revenue saw the rice ears, his eyes lit up: "Your Highness, are these high-yield grains?"
Chu Tiankuo nodded.
Prime Minister Liang's eyes flashed: "..."
Such a big bundle? ! ! !
He originally thought that Chu Tiankuo had deliberately found a well-growing plant in the field to fool him, pretending that he had cultivated a high-yield grain variety, thus gaining merit first and then successfully holding the enthronement ceremony.
Now such a big bundle...
There is a feeling of disillusionment.
Could it really be cultivated
How is this possible
The Minister of Revenue ran over, picked up a bundle of rice, and looked at it with joy: "Haha, this is a high-yield grain. Look how cute it is when it's heavy. This is the first time I've seen such abundant rice ears in my life! Compared with this, the high-yield grain of Zhao State is nothing! Haha... This is a real high-yield grain! This heavy feeling is the feeling of a bumper harvest."
The emperor looked at the pile of rice and smiled: "Good! Haha..."
Reward, he must reward the person who cultivated the high-yield grain! Make him a high official!
The ministers all looked over. In fact, many of them could not see anything. They only had a superficial impression of what the rice ears looked like. But what the Minister of Revenue said could not be false!
Then the loud shouts rang out again: "The emperor is blessed with great fortune, the prince is blessed with great blessings, and is the best among the four countries. The people of Chu are blessed!..."
…
Chu Tiankuo raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, "My Lords, take a look at these three farm tools first."
The emperor smiled and nodded: "My dear ministers, please take a look at the three farm tools that the prince mentioned."
Everyone immediately quieted down upon hearing this and looked towards Songbai.
Songbai took a bundle of rice and stepped on the pedal, and the drum inside started to turn.
All the ministers watched curiously, and saw that the drum inside was spinning faster and faster. Songbai stuffed a bundle of rice ears into it, and there was a "crackling" sound. In an instant, all the rice grains were knocked down!
Songbai was still worried that these armchair ministers didn't know how fast it was. He picked up another bundle of rice, went to the original rice barrel, and beat it hard.
It took a long while to thresh all the rice, and some of the grains had to be picked by hand!
One easily threshes all the rice grains on the rice ears in the blink of an eye, while the other takes a lot of effort and time to thresh all the rice grains.
How stark is the contrast
Many ministers then understood the magic of this thresher!
The Minister of Revenue praised: "Your Majesty, this pedal thresher is amazing! The speed is definitely not only saving time and effort by nearly half. The prince is too modest, the speed of threshing is as fast as lightning! In the future, the people of our Chu State will be blessed. During the double harvest, the people will no longer have to work so hard that their backs can't straighten up. The prince came back this time and gave the emperor a big surprise! It gave the Chu State a big surprise!"
Many ministers nodded in agreement: "It is truly a magical threshing machine! In the future, when the people of our Chu State have this threshing machine, even children can thresh grain! It looks very easy."
"This pedal thresher is truly amazing! It's the first of its kind in all of Shikoku!"
... ... .
Chu Tianyu looked at Prime Minister Liang and Yao Yilan with displeasure. How did his grandfather and the Yao family do things
Chu Tiankuo cultivated high-yield grain varieties right under their noses, but they didn't know about it. He also invented three huge things, but they were also unaware of it
Prime Minister Liang, the Minister of Works and others looked extremely unhappy.
How could this happen? How come they have no idea how these three things were made
The emperor was very happy. He said excitedly: "Try the manual harvester! And the winnowing windmill!"
Songbai said, "Your Majesty, the manual harvester can only be used in the field to see its true effect, but if I push it, Your Majesty will understand the principle."
"Okay! Push it! Let me see!"
So Songbai pushed the manual harvester, and everyone saw that when the manual harvester moved forward, the iron sheet clamped and the knife turned.
Anyone with a little imagination can guess what's going on!
Everyone praised it.
“Great! Haha... Great! Haha..." The emperor laughed.
Then Songbai and other guards poured a bag of rice into the newly invented winnowing windmill and the old winnowing windmill respectively to try the effect.
The effect is also obvious!
"Good! Haha...very good!" The emperor was very happy.
The smile on my face never faded this morning! I haven't felt this way for a long time!
The ministers also praised it highly:
"Your Majesty, these three farm tools are simply amazing! Looking at the four countries, they are definitely the best farm tools! Your Highness the Crown Prince is really benefiting the people this time!"
"Your Majesty, this is simply a magical tool for farming! With it, one person can do the work of ten people! This is a blessing for the genius and the people! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has really made a great contribution this time!"
"Your Majesty has been so blessed that he has nurtured such a great prince, the Crown Prince. These grains and farm tools will surely be famous in the four countries! Such merits will surely be recorded in history! Under the rule of your Majesty and the assistance of the Crown Prince, the State of Chu will surely become more and more glorious!"
... ...
Wen Ruiqing was also very excited: "Your Majesty, these three farm tools save time and effort. If God helps, the envoys from Zhao will be here soon! This time we will definitely be able to gain face in front of the envoys from Zhao! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has made an indelible contribution!"
The prince has made such a great contribution this time, it seems that his position as crown prince is secure!
He also generously praised the prince, laying a solid foundation for the future relationship between the monarch and his subjects.
In addition, he needs to plan carefully about how to negotiate with the State of Zhao and the other two countries regarding these high-yield grain varieties and these three magical farming tools!
Maximize the interests of Chu State!
Let the State of Chu be proud among the four countries!
Haha... He could almost see himself being arrogant and bossy in front of the envoys from the other three countries from now on!
His era, Wen Ruiqing, is finally coming!
The emperor nodded happily, "Yes, the prince has made a great contribution this time! My dear ministers, today's morning court session ends here. If there is anything, we will discuss it tomorrow. Prince, please follow me!"
The emperor strode away after saying this.
He couldn't wait to know who had developed the high-yield grain variety.
"Yes!" Chu Tiankuo responded and glanced at Xingnong, signaling her to stay put and wait for him to give her a reward.
Xingnong quietly made an OK gesture.
(???)
Chu Tiankuo didn’t understand.
What does a circle with three fingers mean
One extra-large reward and three great rewards, does that mean that not a single reward will be left out
Well, that's what he meant.
They really are in sync!
Chu Tiankuo looked again and saw Songbai. He signaled Songbai to take good care of Xingnong, then followed the emperor and left.
All the civil and military officials knelt down and said, "Farewell to the Emperor, farewell to the Crown Prince!"
