"I can't explain hybrid rice to you. You just need to know that it can make everyone in Dayong have enough to eat." Gu Qiqi said slowly.
To explain hybrid rice to a layman is like playing the piano to an ox.
What's more, Gu Qiqi couldn't explain it clearly because she didn't understand it either.
After hearing this, Nangong Yi understood and stopped asking about hybrid rice. Instead, he looked at Gu Qiqi with a smile and said, "I found that there seems to be nothing that my fourth sister can't do. What should I do? I can't do this with my fourth sister."
Really like."
As Nangong Yi finished speaking, a knife eye flew over not far away.
Looking at the third brother who gave him a knife, Nangong Yi was full of desire for survival. He quickly shouted and begged for mercy: "Third brother, don't misunderstand me. I know how much I weigh, so I won't be so obsessed with it."
"It's okay. Qiqi is so good, it's normal for some people to like her. It also proves that I also have good taste."
Nangong Ye knew it when he fell in love with Qi Qi and was mentally prepared for it.
So he kept telling himself that he must be better and more considerate to Qiqi in the future. Only in this way can he win Qiqi's heart forever.
Dao's sixth brother just couldn't hold it back, after all, he was confessing his love in front of so many people.
However, in order not to continue this topic, Nangong Ye deliberately changed the topic and asked: "By the way, Qiqi, how is the threshing machine issue being handled now?"
Gu Qiqi replied: "Shan Lei and the others are currently looking for carpenters throughout Dayong to cooperate in making threshing machines for sale. When I was in Nanyang City some time ago, I received a letter from him saying that the threshing machines were selling very well."
"Although the threshing machine is a bit expensive, the villagers are also very smart and know that several families work together to buy it. Now is the time when the rice is ripe, so the threshing machine can be used just right."
"On the way back to Yongdu, I saw villagers using threshing machines to harvest rice. It was much easier and saved a lot of time."
In the past, when villagers harvested rice, they used their hands to beat it on a wooden board to thresh the rice. In this way, a handful of rice would need to be thrown dozens of times to thresh the rice.
This is not only laborious but also time consuming.
But with the threshing machine, you can step on the pedal with your feet to drive the drum of the threshing machine to roll, and then use the crossed iron bows to thresh the rice. A handful of rice can be completely thrown away in just a few breaths.
In the time it usually takes to throw a handful of rice, with a threshing machine, you can beat more than a dozen handfuls of rice.
And it was very clean.
A few acres of rice can be harvested in just a few days.
Then you can transplant the seedlings and plant late rice.
Shan Lei previously led a team to the north to stock up on ice.
After the ice storage was over, Gu Qiqi arranged to go to various cities to find carpenters to cooperate in making threshing machines.
The threshing machines produced are naturally sold to people all over the country at appropriate prices.
It is impossible to make a threshing machine free. After all, first of all, the production cost is there, and secondly, if one thing is always free, the other is free, it is easy to support the people.
It's the same principle as the love of rice and the hatred of rice.
There is really nothing we can do about a major disaster. If the country does not take action, the people will really have no way to survive.
After listening to Gu Qiqi's words, the more everyone looked at Gu Qiqi, the more they seemed to be common people and Dayong's lucky star.
However, they didn't chat for long after that. Seeing that it was getting late, it was time for Gu Qiqi and Fang Yu to leave the palace. If it was too late, the palace door would be closed and they would not be able to get out.
Gu Qiqi didn't like staying in the palace because there were too many rules.
What gave Gu Qiqi a headache was that when they entered the palace, they clearly entered the main hall through the south gate, and then they didn't seem to have walked too long to the emperor's Yangxin Hall.
But why did they walk for almost half an hour when they left the palace? This was because the emperor arranged for a palace carriage to take them to the north gate.
When he arrived at the North Gate and looked at the word "North Gate", Gu Qiqi remembered the rules in the Dayong Palace.
South in and north out.
Thinking about this rule, Gu Qiqi complained in her heart.
It is obvious that entering from the south gate is the Baichao Palace. Whether it is ministers who have attended the morning court or people who enter the palace to meet the emperor, it would be much easier to just go out through the south gate.
The person who set this rule is probably not going through this himself. Otherwise, if he leaves and doesn't change the rule, it will be a waste of time.
Even if some ministers live in the North City and can reach home shortly after leaving the palace through the North Gate, it would be troublesome to transfer carriages like this.
The palace had to arrange a special carriage to take them out of the palace.
Suddenly, Gu Qiqi thought of some wealthy people in today's world whose houses are only two or three stories high, but they still install elevators in their homes. This is almost the same truth.
However, just like Gu Qiqi and the others traveling in the city to visit the palace, they have to travel by horse-drawn carriage.
Otherwise, it would be a waste of time just to go out on foot.
After coming out of the palace, Gu Qiqi put the matter behind her after struggling for a long time.
Because she would take advantage of the trip home to inquire about some gossip.
However, not long after Gu Qiqi left, a familiar figure appeared in Nangong Yi's Nourishing Heart Hall.
"Your Majesty!" Yang Xue saluted Nangong Yi.
"Xiaoxue, why are you here?" Nangong Yi looked at Yang Xue and asked.
"I heard that Xiaoyu and Qiqi were here, so I wanted to come over and see everyone. Have they left the palace now?" After saying this, Yang Xue looked a little disappointed.
Yang Xue is the daughter of Master Yang, the prefect of Yang Qingyang in Nanyang City.
Last year, Gu Qiqi and the others fled and lived in the Yang Mansion compound for a month or two.
Although the trouble with Yang Xue was not very pleasant, Yang Xue was also being taken advantage of at that time.
Fortunately, she found her way back and saw the faces of those people in time, so there was no room for irreparable consequences.
Later, Gu Qiqi and the others left Nanyang City. Although they had no contact with Yang Xue, Yang Xue always missed them.
It was only after I later learned that Qiqi was pregnant with a daughter that I slowly let go of the guilt in my heart.
Later, the reason why she appeared in Yongdu was because of Nangong Yi's arrangement.
Nangong Yi was 15 years old when he sat on the throne, but he was born in June.
In six months, he will be 16, which means he will be almost ready to get married.
In Dayong, men can only get married when they are 17 years old and women can only get married when they are 16 years old.
However, most adults will start arranging marriage discussions when they are 16 or 15 years old. Once the marriage is finalized, they will get married as soon as they reach that age.
Nangong Yi wanted to avoid being harassed by the old officials in the palace, especially because many people were worried about the position of queen for their own daughter.
So Nangong Yi simply sent someone to take Yang Xue into the palace as a shield.
Although he said it was a shield, Nangong Yi actually had a good impression of Yang Xue.
Especially after what happened with Cao Ning, Yang Xue's character has grown a lot.
Later, when Nangong Yi and others returned to Yongdu and passed through Nanguan City, Yang Xue saved his life.
Although Yang Xue is one year older than him, he doesn't mind.
When he sent someone to pick up Yang Xue, he also asked for Yang Xue's opinion. Unexpectedly, Yang Xue did not refuse.
Although the two did not have a deep relationship before, during this period of time together, they gradually developed a good impression of each other.
Seeing that Yang Xue was a little disappointed, Nangong Yi only reacted at this moment, and then quickly apologized: "My fault, my fault, when I met Fourth Sister and the others just now, I was so absorbed in chatting that I forgot to let someone inform you.
.”
"Otherwise, it will be too late today. I will ask someone to accompany you out of the palace tomorrow to meet the fourth and fifth sisters."
When Yang Xue heard this, she was very moved: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Although she knew that Gu Qiqi and Fang Yu might not have remembered her for a long time, or even regarded her as a friend, she was sincere to Gu Qiqi and Fang Yu.
Now because Nangong Yi did not want Gu Qiqi and Fang Yu to hate her for what happened before.
If she affects the relationship between Nangong Yi and them in the future, she will blame herself even more.
So she wants to get the forgiveness of Gu Qiqi and Fang Yu before becoming the real queen.
Nangong Yi: "Okay, since you are here, you will have dinner with me later."
Yang Xue knelt down and saluted and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."
