The eight meritorious farm tools are each different, but they all represent the highest achievements of this era.
The role of the water wheel on the tortoise shell in Di Xin's hand is even greater than that of these eight farm tools.
The emergence of waterwheels introduced irrigation into the fields for the first time. Farmland without shortage of water directly broke the problem of relying on the sky for food.
The waterwheel is also the most complicated to make among the nine treasures, and it is also the most practical.
Li Zhou could not make it directly, so he could only carve the drawings on the tortoise shell and explain the manufacturing method in detail, which made Yang Ren feel like he had found a treasure.
Prime Minister Shang Rong and Yabi Qian looked at each other and leaned over to bow to Emperor Xin.
"Two old friends, please get up quickly."
"Your Majesty, we are not doing it for individuals, but for the entire human race. Since the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, the human race in the world has been suffering from hunger. Your Majesty has created these nine farm tools, all of which are human race. As descendants of the human race, we should pay homage to the true human race.
Those who salute."
Shang Rong was in tears, feeling both relieved and excited.
Since Emperor Xin came to the throne, he did make some achievements in the first few years, but then his cruelty, insanity, and lustful behavior have always been around Emperor Xin.
The attendants in the palace were even more afraid of him. Emperor Xin's bravery and intelligence seemed to be gone forever.
Shang Rong could no longer see through the Emperor Xin whom he had promoted to the throne of the human king in the first place. Especially after he wrote poems in the Wo Palace, he felt powerless and even thought of retiring.
It turns out that this great king has done so many things silently. Once these eight farm tools come out, the world will definitely be shaken, and Dashang's position as a human race will definitely be stabilized again.

Bigan also had a complicated expression. As the king's uncle, he had a high status and was also the head of the clan. Emperor Xin had done too many ridiculous things, and he had been running around for it these years.
Bigan was not unaware of Jizi's ambition, and he also knew that other members of the clan had aspirations to fight for the throne. Even Weizi Qi had some complaints, feeling that Emperor Yi had chosen the wrong king.
But being loyal to the Yin Shang Dynasty, he had to work hard for the Yin Shang Dynasty, even though there were some things he had to do.
Now, his nephew Di Xin is becoming more and more difficult for Bigan to understand, and sometimes he even feels that Di Xin is extremely strange.
As soon as these eight farm tools came out, Uncle Wang felt that his destiny was in business, no matter what, as long as he could be a virtuous king.

"The two old prime ministers invite me to invite you. I don't hide it from the two old prime ministers. What I want to do is to be a prosperous and healthy king. As long as the people don't starve or endure hardship, I will be satisfied. But this is a long process.
Guzheng is short of manpower, but I don't know what the two old ministers think?"
"The king has such ambitions, Shang Rong (Bigan) is so heartbroken that he will not hesitate to do so."
Emperor Xin spoke sincerely, and the two old prime ministers were full of excitement, as if they were in harmony with each other.
"Doctor Yang also wants to help the orphan."
Seeing Yang Ren on the side who was also excited, Di Xin said this directly.
"Your Majesty, Yang Ren is not as talented as Prime Minister Shang and Uncle Wang, but Yang Ren will definitely convey your Majesty's will to every corner of Dashang."
Di Xin nodded, very satisfied with Yang Ren in front of him.
…
"Your Majesty, Su Daji and Su Meiren are ill again. I hope your Majesty will go and take a look."
Just after seeing off the two old prime ministers and doctor Yang Ren, the attendants came to report.
Di Xin smiled and said, "This vixen is up to something again."
Before entering the side hall, I heard from the attendant that Su Daji had gone to the back garden.
There is a small back garden behind the side hall. There is a small pond in the garden, and with the jagged rocks, it is quite a sight.
Di Xin was in a good mood and was not in a hurry to find Su Daji. Instead, he took his time to visit the garden.
The sky is getting late, the sun is setting in the west, and a round of first bloom hangs high above the sky.
When Di Xin was about to leave, he saw a beautiful scene.
I saw Su Daji's whole body covered only with a layer of white gauze, kneeling under the moon, praying to the moon devoutly, and mumbling something.
"The little girl Su Daji prays to the Moon Goddess to bless the king, prosper the business, and protect the people from hunger. Su Daji is grateful and is willing to sacrifice her life with her life."
It was like the feeling of a god. The moonlight covered Su Daji's body, and combined with that layer of gauze, it was quite sacred.
Di Xin, who had an excellent ear, actually listened to all Su Daji's words, with a sincere tone and a dignified demeanor, just like a devout believer.
Di Xin was greatly moved, and between his brows, he wondered whether he had wrongly blamed Su Daji, or perhaps this was not the fox demon at all, but a truly kind-hearted human woman.
It is precisely because of his kind nature that he attracted the kindness of the Moon Goddess and gave him the first appearance of the moon.
I accidentally glanced at the entry again and found that Su Daji's admiration value was still negative 100%, with no change.
What a cunning vixen, I was almost deceived by her.
Since you want to pray for Gu, just kneel down.
Thinking of this, Di Xin walked away without any sign of nostalgia.
Su Daji, who had been paying attention to Di Xin, never expected that the human king would just leave.
But she was either kneeling or not. She just put on a show and did the whole thing. She gritted her teeth and knelt all night.
…
The next day, Di Xin woke up from Concubine Yang's palace and was about to eat something. Queen Jiang barged in directly, looking very anxious.
"Queen! What's wrong?"
"Your Majesty, Su Daji knelt under the moon all night, but you made her kneel?"
Di Xin was shocked and said, "When did Gu make her kneel?"
When Queen Jiang heard this, she breathed a sigh of relief and added, "Now it has been spread throughout Chaoge City that the king is unkind and unjust. He often humiliates the daughter of the Marquis of Jizhou. If he is not careful, he will kneel down under the moonlight one night.
That Su Hu is making contact with everyone, saying that she will take her daughter back to Jizhou."
Di Xin was dumbfounded and said that there was nothing trivial in his harem, but these rumors that came out of nowhere made his reputation for cruelty even more sinister.
All the civil and military officials in the court saw Su Daji's appearance, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that beauty is a disaster, but such a beauty was tortured into a state of disgrace in just a few days, and was even punished by being forced to kneel for a whole night.
As for the gossip about Di Xin, it spread all over the world, so much so that Queen Jiang even heard about it.
"Wait a minute, Daji just knelt down in the garden to pray last night. Why did the queen hear about it this morning?"
"Last night?"
Di Xin secretly thought that he had been tricked by this vixen. If he had been touched yesterday, he would have taken her in. If not, the rumor would have spread throughout Chaoge.
