The next afternoon, Zhao Qingrui received the thresher sent by Gongshu Xue.
Just as he remembered, Zhao Qingrui hurriedly took these things and headed towards Shanglin Garden.
"What good thing is this?" Looking at the huge cylinder in front of him and the large wooden box underneath, Ying Zheng was a little curious, not knowing what it was used for.
"Father, this is called a thresher. Just put the rice in and step on the pedal to remove the rice from the seedlings." Zhao Qingrui said excitedly. Gongshu Xue's mobility was so strong that she liked him very much.
I'll ask her to make a sewing machine later and try to lower the price of the clothes.
"Your Highness, may I have a try?" Xu Changming stepped forward and said respectfully.
"You're welcome, everyone." Zhao Qingrui raised her hand and said with a smile.
In the past two years, the people in the farm family have taken very good care of the things she brought out, and she respects them from the bottom of her heart.
I heard that these farmers are already studying grafting. They learned this from Zhao Qingrui's farm. They have done a lot of grafting during this period. These people are very research-minded.
Xu Changming picked up a handful of rice and put the rice seedlings in as the drum started to turn. There was only a rustling sound, and all the rice fell into the box below.
"Wow, this is so convenient." There was a heated discussion among the farmers. The emergence of this thresher saved countless labor.
"It is indeed convenient, Your Highness. Did you also make this thresher?" Xu Changming looked at Zhao Qingrui curiously.
"Well, if you think of it, just let Gongshujia's people build it. I'm glad it can help you." Zhao Qingrui was in a very good mood.
"Your Highness is so kind." Xu Changming said respectfully.
As he finished speaking, the voices of agreement from all around him resounded through the sky.
Zhang Liang and Wang Xian stood beside Zhao Qingrui. Wang Xian looked excited, while Zhang Liang's mood became increasingly complicated.
Over the past year or so, as the Qin Dynasty continued to change, he felt even more powerless. Perhaps he would never have the chance to restore his country in this lifetime.
Hu Hai stopped in the breeding area and looked towards Zhao Qingrui, feeling resentful. He thought his younger sister must have done something again.
Raising pigs, cattle and sheep in the breeding area for more than a year has smoothed out much of his previous anger.
Although he was angry, he knew that the situation was hopeless. Even Fusu was no match for Zhao Qingrui, so he was even less likely to win.
After Xu Changming tried it, a group of people immediately gathered around the thresher, wanting to try it too.
Fortunately, Gongshujia soon sent more than ten machines to Shanglinyuan, and all the rice was threshed in more than a day.
The thresher was sold in the market and attracted countless attention. In order to sell the thresher better, Zhao Qingrui directly asked Yin Man and others to publish the matter in the newspaper.
Sure enough, after it was published in the newspaper, it immediately attracted a lot of attention, making the thresher completely popular.
But soon, Zhao Qingrui had no time to pay attention to this matter. With the bumper harvest of grain in various parts of Daqin, taxes should be collected.
This year's taxes have been reduced a lot, the land system has been revised, and with the increase in grain production, the smiles on the faces of the people have never faded.
This year's tax payment is also the most active one for them.
When paying taxes, there is an inevitable round of comparison, comparing what each family planted this year and how the harvest was.
When they realized that their own yields were not as good as others, many people secretly decided to wait until next spring and be more careful after planting the seeds.
A large amount of grain was continuously transported to Xianyang, and soon the national treasury could not hold it anymore, but the grain still continued to be transported. Ying Zheng and Zhao Qingrui were a little worried at this time. It was really a happy worry.
"My dear daughter, do you think we should build a few more warehouses? This amount of grain is more than all the previous years combined." Ying Zheng said with a smile.
"Just build a super large warehouse to store these things. These are not easy to store. I will think of a way to store them for a longer time later." Zhao Qingrui thought for a while and said, too many sweet potatoes and potatoes were planted this year, which also caused the harvested sweet potatoes and potatoes to pile up into mountains.
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Ying Zheng made the decision directly. He had never been so happy in all his years as emperor.
The officials in the court were also happy. The treasury was full and there was no need to worry about disasters. If the grain harvest was like this every year, how prosperous would the Qin Dynasty be in the future?
No one in the court objected to Zhao Qingrui's plan to build an extra-large granary, as they thought it was natural.
Zhao Qingrui used the method of making sweet potato flour and potato flour and made it into vermicelli, which could be preserved longer and some could be sent to the army.
"Put it in the newspaper. There's too much grain this year and the price has dropped to the lowest. These vermicelli can be preserved for a long time, so use them to improve the lives of the people. I've also written down how to eat vermicelli." He handed the papers in his hand to Wang Xian.
"I obey your command." Wang Xian retreated respectfully.
In Zhangtai Palace, Zhao Qingrui looked at the progress of the glassmaking sent by Su Ling. The glass had already been made, and they were now making mirrors and various glass bowls and cups according to her requirements.
Once a batch of mirrors are produced, these glasses can also generate profits.
She glanced at Zhang Liang who was standing honestly not far away. She hadn't seen him for a long time. After returning to Xianyang, she was very busy. She also had a brief understanding of Zhang Liang's affairs. After knowing that he was honest, she didn't care much.
"Sit down and talk to me." Zhao Qingrui calmly put down the report in his hand and looked at Zhang Liang.
Zhang Liang bowed and sat quietly at the bottom.
"Mr. Zifang has been in Xianyang for more than a year. Do you still want to restore your country?" Zhao Qingrui smiled, too lazy to beat around the bush with him.
Zhang Liang was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect her to ask directly.
"I have no chance of winning. Your Highness, there is no need to be on guard against me anymore." Zhang Liang smiled bitterly. The changes in the Qin Dynasty were too fast, so fast that he was caught off guard.
The Qin State is now peaceful and prosperous. Except for the remnants of the six kingdoms who are unwilling to give up, no one is willing to follow him in rebellion.
After recognizing the reality, he relaxed a little.
"Yes, sir, you are right. The assessment will be conducted at the end of the year. With your ability, you should be promoted this time." Zhao Qingrui touched her chin. As one of her secretaries, Zhang Liang was not always by her side, but his ability was impeccable.
"I wonder what arrangements Your Highness has for me?" Zhang Liang paused. He was actually a little confused.
