Great Qin Empress's Infrastructure Handbook

Chapter 205 Threshing Machine (seeking monthly pass)
Zhao Qingrui has already started to make plans, and is ready to start modifying the system in the court when he is in power.

"You came here today to tell me about the Huns?" Ying Zheng asked curiously. In his opinion, the Huns' affairs were not a big deal at all.

"Otherwise, the scenery of Shanglin Garden is pretty good, and I'm tired of seeing the scenery of Wangyi Palace, so come here to relax." Zhao Qingrui said angrily, "Don't you want to see me?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? You are the widow's beloved daughter, so the widow naturally wants to see you all the time." This girl is really courageous, and Fusu and the others would never dare to say these words.

"Father has also learned to be glib." Zhao Qingrui was amused, and to be honest, her father never changed.

When she followed her father back to the palace, she also thought a lot.

It was only later that I realized that I was completely imagining too much, and that my father even treated her better, helped her gain prestige, and even planned to pass on the throne to her.

"It's not because I'm afraid that a certain girl will be jealous." Ying Zheng glanced at her calmly.

But he was naturally happy when his daughter came to play.

"Okay, you go and play, you are also tired during this time." Ying Zheng said softly.

After returning to Xianyang, Zhao Qingrui was basically responsible for all the things accumulated before. Apart from these things, Zhao Qingrui also had to take care of corvee and glass manufacturing. It hurts a bit.

"That's fine, I'll go out and have a look, and return to the palace with my father at night." Zhao Qingrui nodded.

Taking Wang Xian and Gong Shuxue to Shanglinyuan, when Shanglinyuan is harvesting right now, seeing a large amount of wheat and rice harvested, Zhao Qingrui's eyes are full of satisfaction, the land of Shanglinyuan is fertile, and there are The people from the farm family waited on them, and there is also a method of composting in Tiangong Kaiwu. This year's harvest is very good.

Walking on the road, looking at those busy people, the rice is the seeds she took out from the space, and it seems that the first year's harvest is very good.

However, seeing them clumsily picking the millet off the rice seedlings bit by bit, Zhao Qingrui started to have a headache again.

She can't see the efficiency is so low. When they get it done, she wants to eat big white rice every day in the future. She doesn't know how long it will take.

Even if she can eat it every day, she still needs to let these people serve her. By then, someone in the court will definitely write a letter to her and she will be desperate for extravagance.

For the sake of her own happiness, Zhao Qingrui looked at Gong Shuxue. She couldn't get those modern high-tech agricultural machines, but she had seen the original version of the threshing machine. When she was a child, the village basically used pedals. threshing machine.

"What orders does Your Highness have?" Gong Shuxue was a little puzzled, not understanding what happened to Zhao Qingrui.

"I want to make a tool that can quickly harvest these rice seedlings, and I need the help of Gongshu's sister." Looking at Gongshuxue expectantly, she didn't want to use her identity to order Gongshuxue to do this. Gong Shuxue has built a good relationship.

"This, this is not something that can be done in a short while. I still need to think about it." Gong Shuxue was stunned for a moment, but did not directly agree. She is now busy designing and improving existing weapons every day. How can there be time to invent machines that benefit the people?

"I've already figured out what this thing looks like, so I need sister Gongshu to build it for me." Seeing that Gongshuxue didn't immediately refuse, Zhao Qingrui said hastily.

"Can Your Highness draw the structure? I'll see if it's difficult. If it's easy, I'll send it to you tomorrow." Gong Shuxue was a little surprised, but said immediately.

She has a good relationship with Zhao Qingrui, and the public loser's life is getting better and better. People in the family also hope that she and Zhao Qingrui can have a good relationship.

"Wang Xian, please come and get a pen and paper. Elder sister Gongshu and I will wait for you in the pavilion here." Wang Xian is his secretary, and Zhao Qingrui directly asked her to make this trip.

After a while, Wang Xian brought the pen and ink over.

Zhao Qingrui quickly drew a pedal threshing machine on the paper. Although it didn't look very pretty, after Zhao Qingrui's explanation, Gong Shuxue already understood all the structures in it.

The structure is really simple, and the rollers and transmission gears that need to be used need to use iron.

However, the design of this gear made Shi Gongshuxue's eyes shine again and again. This structure is very interesting, and he can try it on weapons later.

"Your Highness, this thing needs some iron tools, and it will take two days for me to finish it." Gong Shuxue said seriously.

"Okay, I have to trouble Elder Sister Gongshu at that time, Shanglinyuan can't collect all of them in a while, and I have to trouble Elder Sister Gongshu to make more ones." Zhao Qingrui's eyebrows curved.

This year, there are more types of food planted. Although my father is excited, he is much less excited than last year.

After all, the yield of these things was not as high as that of sweet potatoes, and Ying Zheng felt a little disappointed, but it was much better than Daqin's existing food, so he was still very satisfied.

This year, the black armor guards were not asked to help clean up the mature grain. The only people who worked here were those from the farm, except those who were in charge of Shanglinyuan.

Although the speed is a bit slower, Yingzheng will still come to see it every day and see that a large amount of food has been collected. These are all sent to the national treasury. There is so much food, and in a few days, the tax should also be paid. If it is collected, the national treasury should not be able to hold it.

This year, there are especially many sweet potatoes and potatoes in Daqin. The tax law has been revised at the beginning of this year. It was proposed by Zhao Qingrui, and the tax is one for thirty.

Even if the tax revenue is much lower than in previous years, this year's grain production can fully make up for the gap, and even receive more tax revenue than previous years.

As the harvest began, Zhao Qingrui saw the memorials of those ministers, and already knew the grain harvest situation in various places.

"This threshing machine, what's your Highness's plan?" The threshing machine is only used in Shanglinyuan, it's too wasteful, such a thing that benefits the people should also be used on Qianshou.

"You can sell it, but [-]% of the profit will be handed over to the state treasury." Zhao Qingrui made a decision after thinking about it.

With the sale of threshing machines, it is estimated that some people will be able to make them. Ironware is a controlled product. It is difficult for Qianshou to obtain it, but it can still be used if it is replaced by wood, but it will not last as long as ironware.

Therefore, this thing can only be sold as a novelty, and when someone imitates it, it will not be sold at a high price.

"Your Majesty, thank you Your Highness." Gong Shuxue said earnestly, although this threshing machine can only make money for a while, it is a good thing, and the public loser still has a large family to support.

Of course, the most important thing is that it is of great significance. Gong Shuxue is very interested in this gear.
