Xiao Nianzhi thought uncertainly, but the movements of his hands did not stop.
Occasionally, if my mind wanders, I will stop writing.
When your mind is clear, continue painting.
Xiao Zhou couldn't say anything, so he came over to look at Xiao Nianzhi's paintings.
This look...
Okay, I don’t understand.
Hey, he was embarrassed to say that he had been reading books for more than ten years.
Yu Jijiu was originally discussing with Xiao Siye, but when he lowered his head, he suddenly saw the new drawings drawn by Xiao Nianzhi. He had no intention of discussing with the other party, and just lowered his head and started to look at the drawings.
For some reason, Yu Jijiu always felt that those drawings gave him a magical feeling.
This feeling cannot be described, but what if it can bring about amazing changes?
Yu Jijiu was curious, Xiao Siye also turned his head, and Xiao Nianzhi began to answer their questions.
There is no way to make the corn thresher fully automatic now, but Xiao Nianzhi has seen the hand-cranked and foot-operated ones used by his grandparents when they were young.
Anyway, it is much more convenient and faster than today's pure manual peeling.
Yu Jijiu's eyes lit up after reading it, and then he raised his head and looked at Xiao Siye, with a faint look of envy in his eyes.
He wanted to say: Where did you find your niece?
Is this my niece?
No, this is a little fairy sent to you by God!
Soon, the planter stopped talking and they started talking about other things.
This discussion does not take into account time.
It wasn't until Xiao Zhou's stomach was empty and he began to grunt that everyone realized what he was doing.
It's night?
The servants had lit candles and smoked mugwort early, so Xiao Siye and the others did not pay attention to these.
Usually, when I read at night, I often ignore these things and seem to be used to discussing something at night.
Xiao Zhou was a junior, and there was a sacrificial wine and Si Ye in front of him. Even if Si Ye was his biological father, it was hard for him to remind him aloud.
Xiao Nianzhi was even more embarrassed, and he didn't want to remind him.
Whether this farm tool can come out depends on the outcome of the final discussion between these two people.
So, what’s wrong with being hungry?
She has been eating so well recently and is really not afraid of going hungry.
After Yu Jijiu heard the sound, he looked at Xiao Zhou with a smile, until he lowered his head in embarrassment, and then nodded: "Are you hungry? Let's eat first, and then we'll talk about it after eating."
Xiao Nianzhi originally wanted to give it a try, but Yujijiu refused to let him go: "You little girl, you are very capable. Don't waste it on these things. Let's discuss this foot threshing machine first."
The rice and millet have not yet been confiscated. If this thing is made in time, it may be able to catch up with today's autumn harvest, which will be a big help.
If it is used well, the court can vigorously promote it starting next year.
Even though Yu Jijiu was a noble son from a scholarly family in the south of the Yangtze River, he was also very concerned about agriculture and people's livelihood.
He cares about teaching and educating people, and also cares about people's survival.
Yu Jijiu has a clear view. If you look back, you will know that if the people live in peace and agricultural output is stable throughout the dynasties, then the dynasty will develop steadily and there will be no turmoil.
On the contrary, there will be constant uprisings and years of war.
Therefore, not only students’ studies must be improved, but also people’s agriculture must be improved.
Although this is not within the scope of his responsibilities, he is not a short-sighted person who only cares about the three acres of land in front of him.
When considering things, it is better to think long-term and broadly.
After a few people had a simple meal, they continued to discuss.
This is pitiful. I came back from the academy happily, thinking I could see my sister Xiao Qing.
Young Master Xiao came back happily. After saying hello to Uncle Qin, he went to the study room to do his homework. After finishing, he studied for a while.
Of course, when I was studying, I couldn't help but start to let my mind wander.
When will sister come back?
Why isn't sister back yet?
Is my sister not coming back?
…
Thinking about it later, Xiao Qing almost thought of something wrong.
At this time, the coachman, Uncle Zheng, came back.
As a result, I brought back a not-so-good news: "The master has something to do and probably needs to spend the night at Zhuangzi's side. The second young master and the eldest young lady are also coming with him. If the third young master is tired, he can rest first and there is no need to wait any longer."
Of course, Uncle Zheng did not come back empty-handed.
Xiao Nianzhi divided most of the snacks prepared by him and asked him to bring them back for Xiao Qing to try.
Although those biscuits with cute shapes and smell of milk really made his eyes shine.
However, thinking about her sister not coming back, Xiao Qing lost a little bit of her appetite.
Uncle Zheng didn't know what Xiao Siye and the others were busy with, so Xiao Qing couldn't ask.
In the end, he had no choice but to eat and then enjoy dessert, including pomegranate jelly beans.
"Wow, this smells so good."
"This is so sweet. Did you add milk? It feels very milky."
"This candy is so soft and elastic."
"Wow wow wow, this is great!"
…
Xiao Qing still didn't want to move as her appetite was affected.
But after I actually ate it, I couldn’t hold it back anymore.
He had obviously eaten, but he still showed off a lot.
So much so that he finally asked Aunt Qin to cook him a bowl of digestion soup.
There was nothing I could do, even if I walked around the courtyard and endorsed the book, my stomach still felt uncomfortable.
When the time came and the discussion between several people ended, Xiao Zhou felt that his eyes finally began to become clear.
Woo hoo, he was sorry for the sage's book. He barely understood anything all night long. He felt that the incense was going round and round in front of his eyes. The incense seemed to have no end and kept going around.
Now, it's finally over! ! !
Fortunately, Xiao Nianzhi was young and energetic, and the discussion was about things she had been exposed to before. Although she was not good at it, she still understood it.
Therefore, no matter how much we discuss or how late we discuss it, our eyes are still clear.
But Xiao Siye and Yu Jijiu couldn't.
After the discussion, the two of them drank a lot of tea, sat down and ate some late-night snacks prepared by the cook, and then managed to regain some energy.
The two decided to report to His Majesty tomorrow and then see how His Majesty arranges it.
Should they contact the Ministry of Industry and rush out the production, or should they meet with Supervisor Lin Yuan or Superintendent of Agriculture?
The two of them currently have pretty good theoretical experience, so they probably won't be able to help much.
The subsequent production of farm tools will probably have to be done by professionals.
And Xiao Nianzhi, who originally provided this idea, will probably be requisitioned, right?
Thinking of this, Yu Jijiu also told Xiao Nianzhi about this matter.
Xiao Nianzhi was thinking about making mooncakes tonight.
Yes, doing it tonight.
Although it is said that tomorrow is the holiday.
But mooncakes need to be reoiled overnight to make them more delicious.
Xiao Nianzhi had already told Uncle Zheng that he would send a letter to Xiao Qing when he returned home and buy the materials for him.
Just as she was thinking about it, she heard Yu Jijiu telling herself that His Majesty might summon her later.
