"Your Majesty, what is this?" Yao Chong spoke first. Besides the emperor, he was the biggest person here.

Zhang said he looked not in a good mood.

The one who was in a worse mood than him was Wei Zhigu. No one would be happy if he was demoted.

Lu Huaishen didn't care, he would listen to whatever Yao Chong said anyway.

Yuan Qianyao is interested. It is estimated that the Shaofu Superintendent has work to do again.

Previously, I had helped Sinong Temple build many curved shaft plows and wheat-cutting artifacts. The things in front of me looked like tools.

So he stepped forward and saw a place that he thought was interesting, so he stepped on it with his foot.

The 'Kacha Kacha' moved, and everyone was startled.

Yao Chong seemed to have found the trick, he pulled Yuan Qianyao aside and stepped on it himself.

Click, click, boom, boom, the drum started spinning.

Everyone saw it, but they didn't know what it was for.

Let’s look at Li Longji together.

Li Longji smiled and asked: "Do you know how wheat and rice fall off the stalks?"

The five people looked at each other, how did it fall? Hold it with your hands?

Seeing the expressions of the five people, Li Longji sighed secretly.

I thought these ministers were all very good, but how could they be so inferior to Brother Yi?

It's just a matter of peeling off the grains of millet, but you don't even know.

I don’t ask you to analyze the top Tibetan and Turkic figures one by one.

You don’t need to know how to train cavalry and archers.

There is no need for you to come up with the same good things that benefit the people.

As for trying to figure out what's going on like Yang Xiu, having a brother Yi is enough.

Oops, I get a headache just thinking about this.

How did Brother Yi know that he wanted a strong army, and it was horse archers?

Even without mentioning these, you don’t know about millet threshing?

"Gao Lishi." Li Longji directly named him.

Gao Lishi replied: "Put the wheat with stalks on the ground and use a roller, or dry it and beat it with a flail."

He answered correctly. Recently he has been studying farming deliberately.

Including how to raise chickens, herd ducks, and feed pigs, learn everything.

Just for this moment, His Majesty asked, he had to know.

When the five people heard this, they looked astonished. It turned out that they didn't pull it with their hands. They just saw the incident and misunderstood it.

Yao Chong didn't need the emperor to ask any more questions and said directly: "It must be very hard."

"Of course!" Li Longji nodded slightly: "And this thing is... a piece of magic!"

How do five people look at each other again?

Does pressing with a roller or beating with a flail have anything to do with this?

Artifact? There are a lot of artifacts recently. I saw another one.

"Come here, bring straws, rollers, and flails to the door." Li Longji was already prepared.

Someone arrived outside carrying bundles of wheat straw, as well as rollers and flails.

Everyone goes out.

Wheat straw is spread on the bluestone floor.

Li Longji ordered: "Everyone, please give it a try."

As he said this, he picked up a flail and slapped it there. As soon as he hit the flail, the head on it turned around and looked decent.

So everyone took pictures for a long time, squatted down and looked, my God! How come there are so few grains in the picture.

Put the roller on, people pull it, bang chi chi chi, half a moment.

The effect is good, there are more grains than what I shot myself.

Seeing my ministers experience it, I have a personal experience.

Li Longji asked someone to lift the pedal out and grabbed a handful of straw himself.

He stepped on the tube, turned the tube, put the straw on it, crackled, and it was done.

Picked up another handful, crackled, and it was over again.

It's so fast, there's nothing we can do about it.

The five people stretched their necks and widened their eyes.

They had just taken off the grains themselves, and now they were covered in sweat.

"How, how can...this be possible?" Yao Chong stuttered.

The other four people nodded in unison, with questions in their minds.

After a few breaths, Yuan Qianyao, who was wiping his sweat and panting, swallowed his saliva: "I, I feel that this, this thing, is unreasonable."

"Will it benefit the people?" Li Longji was in a happy mood and wanted this effect.

"Yes!" Five people responded at the same time.

"Your Majesty, tell me to give it a try." Zhang said he couldn't help but grabbed the straw and stood next to Li Longji.

Li Longji got out of the way, and Zhang said he stepped on it and learned to crackle. It was a bit unfamiliar, but he got it eventually.

Before he could grab the second one, Wei Zhigu squeezed him away with a crackle.

One person tried it once and it felt so enjoyable.

"Your Majesty, this is a divine weapon. Who is it?" Yao Chong's thirst for knowledge skyrocketed.

Li Longji smiled and said nothing, while Yao Chong gritted his teeth.

Gao Lishi said from the side: "Your Majesty, many businessmen know this."

"Uh!" Li Longji paused and said helplessly: "I'll let you know, but you can't go find him."

"Why?" Yao Chong argued, why don't we let us look for it?

If these people are found and hired as craftsmen in the Shaofu Prison, they can make many good things.

Li Longji knew what Yao Chong was thinking as soon as he saw his expression. He put his hands behind his back and said, "The Three-Character Sutra was written by the same person."

"Ah?" Five people were surprised in unison.

Yao Chong immediately gave up the idea of ​​sending the person to the Shaofu Prison, because he was not a craftsman.

"Your Majesty, you should tell me to wait." Zhang said with a confused look on his face.

Li Longji sighed softly: "The east bank of Bashui is seven miles away from Tonghua Gate..."

"Li Yizhuangzi?" the five people said together again.

"Do you know?" Li Longji wondered.

Yao Chong shook his head: "I don't know that Li Yi made so many things. I only know that Zhuangzi's soy sauce and boiled round eggs are very expensive. I have only eaten soy sauce three times."

The other four people nodded, indicating that they had also eaten soy sauce and knew the price of soy sauce.

"My lords have worked so hard, it's just soy sauce, why bother doing this. Gao Lishi, prepare a pound for each person." Li Longji shook his head slightly and handed out the soy sauce.

Because he knew how cheap soy sauce was. He could buy it from the palace for fifty-five yuan a pound.

Outside, the pigs were exchanged for a discounted price. After the pigs were sold, the price was at least fifteen hundred yuan per catty.

It's more expensive than the best wine in a restaurant.

I heard that some people add salt water to soy sauce, and there are also several fake soy sauces, but the taste is not right at all.

The five ministers thanked them, not paying much attention to the soy sauce. They stared at the threshing machine in front of them.

Even if they didn't know how to thresh grain before, they understood it after doing the work again.

It's simply not done by humans.

"It turns out that I had to wait so hard for food." Lu Huaishen sighed with emotion.

We usually say that people are suffering because of the data. But when I hear others say that people don’t have enough to eat, I feel that life is difficult.

I only worked for a short time today and my whole body aches.

Therefore, the threshing machine in front of us has proven its status as an artifact.

"Your Majesty, where is the other one?" Wei Zhigu looked at the second one and saw that it looked different in some places.

"The other one...the other one is even more powerful than this one. It is driven by water power. One waterwheel can hold several wheels without anyone stepping on it."

Li Longji introduces the second water-driven threshing machine.

As long as there is a river, set up a waterwheel and load it, and the rest is to grind the wheat straw.

Wei Zhigu suddenly understood the purpose of His Majesty calling him here. The Ministry of Works was responsible for water conservancy and other matters.

"Your Majesty, do you want to promote the world?" Zhang said, touching each other's hands. His hands were blistered. He didn't pay attention when he threw the shackles just now.

Li Longji waved his hand: "Don't worry, Yi... Li Yi said, use it first in Jingzhao Mansion. After knowing it elsewhere, you will naturally want to learn it."

"Your Majesty, why not call Li Yi to the court to inquire." Yuan Qianyao suggested, he wanted to ask more about some good techniques.

"No, I don't allow you to wait there." Li Longji still refused.
