“It’s amazing, it’s really amazing!”
"With this magic tool, we no longer have to carry water to irrigate the fields day and night, and no longer have to work hard to pound rice."
"Who says it's not true? I think my two kids can do it!"
.......
Everyone present looked at the mold in front of them with fiery eyes, and their hearts were in turmoil for a while! Especially the government officials! If this was sent up, their Weizhou Prefecture would become famous, but I don't know if Qiao Xin's family...
They had seen a single stone mill, and a single stone mill was also a must-have for all the big families in Weizhou Prefecture. But those were the hardest and most tiring jobs in the prefecture. But this three-in-one water mill was the first to appear here. If every village could use it, how much manpower and animal power would be saved?
Qiao Xin directly instructed the Niu Dabao brothers, "This model is only suitable for display. You can make a set and install it outside the stone bridge for everyone to use. But it is definitely not enough for irrigation.
To make a finished waterwheel, it must be at least 30 feet high to meet the demand. The water mill and water pestle must be able to remove one to half a stone of grain to be qualified. Try different materials and use the one that is more wear-resistant and useful! "
"Okay then. How many finished products do you want to make?"
"Make three of each first. I'll assign a few more people to you. You need to prepare more backups for the shafts, scrapers, and water buckets that are particularly prone to damage. If they break, we can replace them! Just ask for any materials you need."
"Hey, no problem, boss, just rest assured!" Niu Dabao nodded quickly in agreement.
The two brothers are now doing the work they love, they don't have to worry about food and drink, and they get paid. The most important thing is that the boss is kind and never deducts wages. Not only does he often give extra rewards for good work. Where can she find such a boss?
His biggest wish now is that his employer would allow him and his brother to stay because of their hard work.
......
"Oh mother!"
When Qiao Xin turned around, she saw Qiao Yunqing's handsome face, and there were a group of familiar and unfamiliar people around him, and she couldn't help but laugh.
"Second brother, you're back? Master Xiao Fan, we meet again!"
Fan Jihuai was also happy. Qiao Xin was still as warm and welcoming to him as always, not treating him as an outsider at all!
After everyone greeted each other, Fan Jihuai explained his purpose, and Qiao Xin took Zhang Yun and Li Zhong to the fields.
There are too many things to do and too few people to do them. If I don't hurry up, I will have to work very hard to get home.
As soon as she got home, Qiao Xin took the initiative to ask about the results of the Spring Examination.
"My son has won the first place, and he will take the provincial examination in a month. This spring exam is a special exam specially opened by His Majesty. All those who pass the provincial examination will participate in the joint examination together with those who passed the provincial examination in the autumn exam last year."
"So you'll be going to the capital within three months!"
"yes!"
Qiao Xin was a little worried, "Maybe the time is too tight and the pressure is too great!"
Qiao Yun was confident of victory, "No matter what, this trip is imperative! Mother, I met the King of Qi in the Taoist temple that day."
"Who, who is the King of Qi?" Qiao Xin was not familiar with the royal family and nobles of this dynasty, and had never specifically asked about them. When she suddenly heard the second brother mention it today, she was confused for a moment.
"My third brother is 70% similar to him. The Fan family must have some suspicions!"
Qiao Xin said calmly, "If you have doubts, then doubt them. Your third brother is not a disgrace. What are you afraid of? If the other party is sincere, we will continue. If the other party has bad intentions, we will fight one by one or two by two. I have nothing to fear!"
Qiao Yunqing said, "The King of Qi is not here to look for my third brother, but to track down the remnants of the rebels who have fled. I heard that group of people fled to Weizhou Prefecture and hid there. They are evil and cruel. Mother, you have to be careful to keep more people around the children."
Qiao Xin was a little tempted: "If we encounter and catch him, will there be a reward?"
Qiao Yunqing didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but she still didn't want Qiao Xin to take the risk!
"Okay, stop worrying. I'm just asking. I'm busy enough working in the fields. How can I have the time to run around catching people?" Qiao Xin took out a book from her arms and handed it to him, saying, "I have something important to tell you right now. Have you seen my farm tool models? I compiled them into books! Find a reason to give them to the prefect.
I'm going to go to the mountains and hunt some game. After all, passing the imperial examination is a great event, so we won't make a big fuss. We just need to have a meal with everyone present today and the people in our town."
Qiao Xin said this, took off her tools, and went out! When Zhang and Xu entered the house, they only saw the back of their mother-in-law walking away gracefully.
Qiao Yunqing was not vague and went straight to the field to find Fan Jihuai who was busy and told him his idea.
Fan Jihuai stood there in a daze, and it took him a long time to react and realize what the Qiao family meant. He thought that Qiao Yunqing didn't know what it meant to transfer such a book through him.
After hesitating for a while, he reminded her, "Brother Qiao, you have a good reputation now. You can directly ask to see the county magistrate or even the prefect. There is no need to go through me."
Qiao Yunqing smiled slightly: "I know, but I still want to ask you to help pass it on. Without the help of the Fan family, our family would not be able to take root in Weizhou Prefecture so smoothly. Lord Han, don't feel bad, this is what my mother meant.
The Fan and Qiao families reported it together. Among those who are still working in the fields, your Fan family has many people, how can we take all the credit!"
Fan Jihuai didn't expect that the Qiao family had even thought of an excuse for him. If he didn't appreciate it, he would be really ungrateful.
