Chapter 22: The efficacy of farm tools

After Mi Lanxi assembled the grain cutting knife, she continued to assemble the next farm tool.

This farm tool was larger than a grain cutter. Mi Lanxi installed it for a while, combining the iron and wood tools together, and a pedal version of the threshing machine appeared.

"What is this?" Fu Xiyang asked, looking at the wooden cabinet that was half a man tall.

Mi Lanxi stepped on the footboard, and the axle in the middle of the wooden cabinet began to rotate.

"This is a threshing machine. Put one end of the ear of the grain into it, and in a while, the ear of the grain will be taken off."

Mi Lanxi stepped on the threshing machine and said, "If you want to test its efficacy, you need to move it to the field."

"Steward, move this threshing machine to the field and try it." Fu Xiyang couldn't wait to tell the steward.

After listening to his words, Mi Lanxi said calmly: "Don't worry, I still have a farm tool that I haven't installed here. After I install it, I can take it to the field together."

After hearing this, Fu Xiyang had no choice but to continue waiting.

Mi Lanxi worked very efficiently. She didn't let everyone wait for her for too long, and quickly assembled the last farm tool.

Fu Xiyang looked at this cabinet that was taller than a person and asked, "What is this?"

Mi Lanxi turned the handle of the windmill and said to Fu Xiyang:

"This is a wind-operated rice cart. As long as you turn the handle here, the wind inside will blow out the impurities, shriveled grains, and straw chips in the rice from the air vent."

Mi Lanxi pointed to the air outlet on the other side.

In the morning, she took a look at the way the tenants handled the rice.

One person is holding grains and falling down from a high place, and the other person is holding a basket lid to fan the wind...

What a primitive approach.

It is time consuming and laborious.

Then she thought of this Fenggu car.

After listening to Mi Lanxi's introduction, Fu Xiyang knew that this was also an extremely useful agricultural tool.

"I want to try out these farm tools." Fu Xiyang said to Mi Lanxi.

Seeing that he was anxious, Mi Lanxi agreed and said, "Go!"

Fu Xiyang asked people to move Mi Lanxi's farm tools to the fields.

All the tenants in the field gathered around.

Mi Lanxi asked someone to take out three farm tools and personally operate the functions of these three farm tools in front of everyone.

Seeing the effect of the farm tools shocked everyone in the field.

"What kind of knife is this? Isn't it too convenient?"

"Cutting the rice is the most labor-intensive. This knife can cut a row of rice easily without bending down."

"With this knife, even a ten-year-old boy can cut crops."

The tenants gathered around and talked nonsense.

Mi Lanxi didn't mind their discussion. After trying out the grain cutter, she started to try out the threshing machine.

The threshing machine threshes the grain very quickly.

It didn't take much effort to step on the pedal. I grabbed the rice in my hand, put it in and rolled it twice. When I took it out again, the stalks had no ears.

Usually, a family of tenants cannot finish one acre of rice in a day.

Now with this threshing machine, anyone with a discerning eye can see that it only takes about an hour to produce one acre of rice.

After Mi Lanxi took out the threshing machine, she continued to take out the wind grain cart.

The windmill truck is the most labor-saving. Just pour the rice in and shake it gently to separate the debris, shriveled grains and straw from the rice.

It is convenient and time-saving.

After Mi Lanxi finished operating three farm tools, the surrounding tenants were jealous.

If every household has such agricultural tools, he can advance the autumn harvest by half.

Thinking of this, a bold tenant said to Fu Xiyang: "General, do we have a chance to get these farm tools?"

Fu Xiyang said to them: "These three farm tools were made by your girl. If you want to promote them, you need her permission."

"I agree! Mi Lanxi said.

Someone among the tenants asked cautiously: "The girl agreed, when can these farm tools be made?"

Fu Xiyang said to everyone: "I will arrange it as soon as possible."

He carefully looked at the components of these three farm tools. Each part of the farm tools required iron.

As a result, a large number of blacksmiths were needed to build such agricultural tools.

Fu Xiyang planned to mobilize blacksmiths from the army to complete this task.

Based on this calculation, Fu Xiyang felt that he could produce a large number of farm tools in a short period of time.

With a plan in mind, he said to Mi Lanxi: "I wonder if Miss Mi can sell the drawings to my general?"

Mi Lanxi shook her head and said, "I don't have the drawings."

Fu Xiyang was stunned.

Mi Lanxi said: "If you want to promote these farm tools, the master of the blacksmith shop will do it, you can just ask him."

"As for the woodwork, you can find the old carpenter in Beard Alley. I have given him the drawings of the woodwork. He should cooperate with you."

"After the parts of the farm tools are made, you can find small pieces of wood to assemble them for you. He has seen me assemble these three things. I guarantee that he has learned how to do it."

Fu Xiyang's eyes flashed with confusion.

He said to Mi Lanxi, "Have you made arrangements a long time ago?"

The manufacturing process of farm tools has been divided up and sent away by her.

Mi Lanxi smiled and said nothing.

Fu Xiyang sighed: "In this case, I can only ask them to cooperate."

Mi Lanxi saw that Fu Xiyang paid attention to these three farm tools, and her goal had been achieved. She issued an expulsion order to Fu Xiyang: "The general is busy with business, so I won't disturb you. Can you leave on your own?"

Qingdong couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth when he heard his girl being so frank.

Fu Xiyang also raised his eyebrows. Are you trying to drive him away?

That's all, it's really inconvenient for him to stay for a long time.

There are indeed other matters in the General's Mansion waiting for him to handle when he returns.

Now that these three farm tools were born, he went back to get the drawings and designs and try his best to promote these three farm tools.

Thinking of promotion, Fu Xiyang asked Xiang Mi Lanxi: "Can I present these three farm tools to His Majesty?"

"It's up to you!" Mi Lanxi didn't care.

These three farm tools are just her little thoughts, not even a creation.

Seeing Mi Lanxi's indifferent attitude, Fu Xiyang thought for a while and said seriously: "It's your credit for presenting these three farm tools. I will ask for credit for you."

Mi Lanxi did not show any joy after hearing this: "It's up to you!"

Her indifferent attitude made Fu Xiyang realize that she had no sense of belonging to Dahongguo.

Fu Xiyang glanced at Mi Lanxi, and from now on, he would slowly pull her into his camp.

Fu Xiyang concealed his thoughts and said to Mi Lanxi, "I'm going back to the city. If you need anything, just ask Qingdong to find me."

Mi Lanxi nodded.

Fu Xiyang bid farewell to Mi Lanxi, and quickly left Qingshui Villa on horseback.

When he left, he took the young man named Mu Mu with him.

After Mi Lanxi watched Fu Xiyang leave, she began to explore her villa and farmland.
