Chapter 217 Does the son-in-law know his mistake (5)

Xi Ning, who taught Liu Huarong science at home, didn't know that trouble had already come to her.

About a quarter of an hour, the maid ran to Xi Ning's boudoir and told Xi Ning the news:
"Miss, people from Dali Temple are here, and they said they came to look for you."

While speaking, the servant girl looked nervous, fearing that the eldest lady would be captured and abused by the people of Dali Temple.

The eldest lady is very kind to the servants and maids in the house, and everyone likes the eldest lady who treats others politely.

Xi Ning was a little surprised, her face changed suddenly, and she yelled inwardly: "Why did Emperor Dog suddenly arrange for people from Dali Temple to come over?"

"Understood, after I change my clothes, I will go there right away."

What Xi Ning can be sure of is that when he killed Wang Shiquan's family of four and Princess Luoyan, he didn't leave anything behind.

Xi Ning put down the brush and looked at Liu Huarong with a smile:
"Hua Rong, I'm sorry, I have to stop studying for a while, and I will teach you when I come back."

Immediately, Xi Ning turned around and returned to the room, and took out [Mimic Robot Xiaoyi], [Various Mask] and night clothes.

"Xiaoyi, if I don't come back tonight, you can go straight into the palace and kill the dog emperor." Xi Ning ordered Xiaoyi.

"Master, Xiaoyi knows, I will definitely complete the task." Xiaoyi put on a mask and hid in Xi Ning's room, waiting for the night to come.

After changing her clothes, Xi Ning walked out of the room and came to the lobby with Liu Huarong.

When the two sisters came to the hall, they saw a lot of people from Dali Temple asking Liu Rui and Huang Yunzhu.

The leader of Dali Temple looked up at the direction of the footsteps, looked at Xi Ning and Liu Huarong, and compared the portraits in his hands:

"Liu Fangru, our Dali Temple is following the orders of His Majesty the Emperor to let you go back to Dali Temple with us and cooperate with the investigation."

Xi Ning felt that the emperor was sick because of the idiot, and he obviously violated the rules by doing so.

Xi Ning also understands that if she doesn't go back with the people from Dali Temple today, the General's Mansion will get into big trouble.

"Don't worry, my lord, I will fully cooperate with your investigation." Xi Ning was too lazy to waste his time talking, so he just went with them.

When he walked to the gate of the General's Mansion, Xi Ning didn't see the prison van where the prisoners were being held: "It seems that the dog emperor doesn't want to offend me to death."

After arriving at Dali Temple, Xi Ning was very cooperative and answered whatever the other party asked.

After some questioning, the people of Dali Temple temporarily placed Xi Ning in the cell of Dali Temple.

"Miss Liu, thank you for your cooperation. I have to wrong you to wait in the cell for three days. I hope you can understand." Dali Siqing's words made Xi Ning freeze in place.

What the hell, staying in this crappy place for three days, is it sick?
The cell was so dirty and smelly, Xi Ning really couldn't stand it, so he asked:
"Could you change to a place that's a little cleaner?"

Xi Ning cooperated with the other party's work, with a good attitude and polite words, but unexpectedly, she would stay in the cell for three days.

The Minister of Dali Temple knew Xi Ning's identity very well, and they understood that the noble young lady had been wearing gold and silver since she was a child, and she was not used to living in dirty and messy places.

"no problem."

Xi Ning was taken to a cell that looked like it had been tidied up. It was indeed much cleaner than the previous cell, and there was a stool in the cell.

With such a crude condition, Xi Ning could only be forced to accept it, with displeased eyes:

"It seems that if you want to get rid of the charges, you will act again tonight."

If an important person dies tonight, Xi Ning will be cleared of his charges.

In the early hours of the morning, Xiaoyi found out that Xi Ning hadn't come back, and started to carry out the plan to assassinate the dog emperor.

"Master, Xiaoyi is going to perform a mission, I believe you will be back soon."

Xiaoyi put on the [Variety Mask] and night clothes, slipped out of the General's Mansion, and quickly headed to the palace.

Xiao Yi came to the palace as fast as he could and headed straight for Emperor Dog's bedroom.

It found the emperor's chamber, with guards guarding the doors and windows.

The emperor's bedroom is very large, and if you use smoke, it won't have much effect.

"I'm sorry." Xiao Yi approached one of the windows and knocked the guard unconscious.

Xiaoyi turned over and went into the bedroom, ran to the front of the emperor's bed, opened the bed curtain with his left hand, raised the knife with his right hand, and slashed at the dog emperor's neck.

Even in the dark night, Xiaoyi can clearly see everything around him, and it has no effect on his vision.

When Xiao Yi's knife was about to cut the emperor's neck, he suddenly woke up, but he couldn't stop Xiao Yi's machete.

With a click, the emperor's head was separated instantly, and he died with regret.

In order to confirm that the person who died in his hands was the emperor, Xiao Yi checked the head:
"The emperor is dead, the master's suspicion is cleared, and he can go home."

After completing the task, Xiao Yi quickly left the palace, not daring to delay for a moment.

After Xiaoyi left, the patrolling people found a guard standing at the window fainted:

"Come on, there are assassins, go in and protect His Majesty immediately!"

All of a sudden, all the guards panicked.

If the emperor died, their life would definitely not be easy.

The people who ran into the bedroom beforehand lit the candles in the bedroom, and then everyone hurried to the bed and found the emperor who died with regret.

Now it's all right, everyone is going to finish the game.

There was a large group of guards outside the bedroom, and the emperor was still quietly killed by the assassins, which reflected the incompetence of their group of guards.

The dog emperor disappeared all of a sudden, and the entire palace was in chaos. The entire palace was searched, but the murderer could not be found.

At noon the next day, Dali Siqing came to the cell and released Xi Ning.

"It seems that Xiaoyi has succeeded." Xi Ning left Dali Temple with a happy mood.

Sure enough, violence is the best way to solve the problem.

As soon as Xi Ning returned to the General's Mansion, she went back to her room and took the Variety Mask and Xiao Yi back into the quick travel space.

"The most troublesome group of people are all dead, and the rest are other officials who made trouble."

Liu Rui was an official in the same dynasty as other civil officials, and he didn't have a deep friendship. He didn't like to make friends with hypocrites.

It's fine if the hypocrites don't help. In order to win Wang Shiquan's favor, they suppressed the general's mansion in various ways, which can be described as bloody and cruel.

Xi Ning didn't find it difficult to deal with some officials who didn't have any guards at home.

But the dog emperor is dead, and the entire capital will strengthen patrols. Xi Ning is not in a hurry to attack the hypocrites for the time being.

In addition, without Wang Shiquan and Green Tea Princess getting in the way, the business of Xining's agricultural material store is getting better and better, and many farmers come to buy sprayers.

In order to increase revenue and enhance the popularity of the agricultural material store, Xining once again used its excellent hands-on skills to plan to make rice harvesting and threshing of rice.

Back and forth, it took Ximen three months to finally get the [Wooden Harvester] and [Wooden Threshing Machine].

In addition, Xining also copied [Qu Yuanli] and [Rolling Water Wheel].

With these things, it can bring great convenience and development to agriculture.

"Fortunately, we got the stuff out before the rice matured. With this batch of agricultural tools, harvesting rice doesn't have to be as hard as before."

Xi Ning is still very satisfied with what she has made.

If it was the same as before, only using a sickle for harvesting, it would take a lot of time to complete the harvesting of the tens of acres of paddy fields at home.

The family members were pleasantly surprised by the farm tools made by Xining. They didn't expect Xining to be so capable.

"Sister, I found that you are even more powerful after Husband. It's all because Wang Shiquan, a waste, severely restricted your performance."

Liu Huarong's eyes are full of admiration for her sister's ability, and she feels that marriage is a burden that binds her sister.

"I think so too. We have harvesters and threshing machines, which can be much easier, and we can sell them for money, which can benefit the people of the entire Baiguang Dynasty."

Three days later, the General's Mansion began to harvest this year's rice.

In order to improve work efficiency, Xining transported the harvester and thresher at home to the paddy fields.

The farmers who were invited to work all ran over to take a closer look at the novelty when they saw it.

"Miss, what is this thing? How to use it?"

"Miss, can these two things be used to harvest rice? Are they useful?"

"Miss"

Farmers are curious about harvesters and threshers and want to use them.

With a smile, Xining patiently replied to the farmers who were full of question marks:
"The agricultural tool on my left is called a harvester, which is specially used to harvest rice, and the one on my right is used to thresh rice, called a thresher."

"Let me demonstrate it to you, and you will know how to use it."

"If you need it, you can go to my agricultural material store to buy it then."

After Xi Ning answered their doubts, he began to operate.

She pushed the harvester to the dry paddy field, operated the switch with one hand, and pushed the harvester forward with the other hand. There was a rattan grass tube on the left side of the harvester.

In front of the harvester, there are two sickles, which are very sharp, and will harvest the rice in front. After harvesting, vine grass will use vine grass to bind the rice.

In just one stick of incense, the lemons had already been harvested, and the harvested and bundled rice lay neatly on the ground.

"Everyone understands, it's not difficult to operate the harvester, it's very easy, and it can improve our efficiency and save a lot of time and effort." Xi Ning stopped what she was doing and explained to everyone again.

Afterwards, Xi Ning waved to his younger brother Liu Zheng: "A Zheng, help me push the threshing machine over."

"Okay, sister." Liu Zheng was very obedient, pushing the threshing machine to Xi Ning's side.

In front of everyone, Xi Ning stepped on the pedal with one foot and repeated this action repeatedly. When the pedal was stepped on, the thresher made a buzzing sound.

"When the threshing machine made a sound, we held the rice tightly, put the ear of the grain in, and let the nail roller knock the ear off."

When the citron is peeling the ears on the nail drum, it is turned over to clean the ears of grain as much as possible, and it does not forget to remind everyone:

"Everyone remember to turn it over and let the nail roller clean the ears of grain."

After beating a handful of rice in his hand, Xi Ning finished his operation.

In short, it is not difficult to use a wooden harvester and a wooden thresher, and it can be operated with eyes and hands.

"Everyone understands after seeing this, do you have any other questions?" Xi Ning asked.

"No problem." The farmers who were invited to harvest rice said in unison.

Everyone wanted to use the harvester to harvest immediately, Xi Ning decisively gave up the farm tools.

"Don't worry, everyone. We have brought in a total of five harvesters and five threshers today. Everyone will have the opportunity to take turns using them today."

Xi Ning's main task today is to bring over the farm tools, not to help harvest rice.

The family invited [-] farmers to help. There are harvesters and threshers on site. I believe it will not take much time to harvest dozens of acres of rice.

At this time, Huang Yunzhu walked to Xi Ning's side, with a smile all over her face:
"Ru'er, this time, you really helped a lot. With the harvester and thresher, not only will it help your own family, but tens of thousands of farmers will also benefit."

Huang Yunzhu found that the eldest daughter of the high-profile Husband was very different from before. She didn't complain about herself, but she was full of sunshine and wise.

"It's good to be able to help the family. After putting them into use, we can finish harvesting the rice in a shorter time, which can save a lot of money for hiring people."

"Other farmers don't have to work as hard as before. Our entire General's Mansion may still be able to live forever with the farm tools that came out."

Should I say it or not, Xi Ning's idea is somewhat greedy.

"Father, mother, let's go back, there are people watching here, we don't need us for now." Xi Ning began to urge people.

There is no point in staying here as a family of five, they might as well go home and have a good rest.

After Xi Ning got home, she immediately asked other idle servants and maids to help her. She wanted to increase the output of the harvester and thresher.

In the current market, there are no harvesters and threshers, and Ximen does not want to miss this opportunity to make money.

In three days, Xi Ning and the servants at home produced thirty harvesters and thirty threshers.

This kind of production speed is already very fast.

"Send the threshing machine and harvester to the agricultural material store immediately, and sell them as soon as possible." Xi Ning called the servants and told them to send them there quickly.

During these three days, everyone was very busy and attentive, and Xi Ning saw it all.

As soon as the two agricultural tools were delivered to the agricultural material store, they were snapped up.

The speed of selling out is so fast, thanks to the group of farmers who were invited to help the general's mansion harvest rice.

After returning home, fifty farmers talked about harvesters and threshers, which attracted the attention and discussion of many people.

Those who come to buy are all farmers with large-scale paddy fields at home, and they are in great need of agricultural tools that can improve efficiency.

In order to prevent other people from buying on a large scale, Xining introduced a purchase restriction rule, and a family can only buy one harvester and thresher for the time being.

Other poor farmers also want to buy it, but the price is too high for them to afford it for the time being.

The price of the harvester and the thresher is the same, one tael, many people think the price is too high.

Such a high price scares away poor farmers.

Xining didn't want to, but the labor cost and production cost were not generally high. Opening the door to do business, you can't lose money.

On the fourth day, Liu Rui came to the palace to go to court, and all the civil and military officials in the court came to Liu Rui's side and interrogated him in various ways.

Listening to his colleagues' praise of Xi Ning, Liu Rui's heart was already full of joy.

He had often heard other people humiliating his daughter before. Many colleagues said that a woman went out to earn a living, embarrassing her family, and insulting the family tradition.

At the beginning, Liu Rui was very dissatisfied when he heard these words.

Even if his daughter is not doing well, he doesn't want her to be talked about.

Now, the situation is reversed, and he is proud of Cilem.

The person who can make harvesters, threshing machines, curved plows, tumbling waterwheels, pesticides, fertilizers, etc. is his daughter Liu Rui.

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say, some little gadgets that the little girl fiddled with by herself, everyone praises it."

Listening to the rainbow farts of his colleagues, even knowing that they are not sincere, Liu Rui is willing to listen, and he is proud of a family with a treasure.

Even the new emperor, who had been on the throne for three months, admired the farm tools made by Xining.

But what the new emperor was going to say next gave the Manchu officials a headache.

There were droughts and floods in some areas of the Baiguang Dynasty, and the people were in dire straits, and many people had died.

Compared with anyone else, the drought is better, at least the village is still there.

In the event of a flood, an entire village or town will be submerged, the people will be displaced, and there will be no crops.

It is difficult to deal with sudden natural disasters with conventional methods.

Liu Rui, who returned home, told his family what he learned in the court.

The most important thing is that Liu Rui wants to hear Xi Ning's opinion:

"Ru'er, what can you do?"

As a military officer, Liu Rui didn't know much about agriculture and water conservancy, and he didn't have any good ways to deal with it.

Facing Liu Rui's question, Xi Ning also had a headache.

Natural disasters such as drought and flood are still very difficult problems in the 21st century. Many big cities have experienced floods.

"Father, it's relatively easy to deal with the drought. The tumbling waterwheel I made before can dig and divert water from other places to the dry land."

"I need a lot of manpower to help me make the waterwheel, and it will take some time."

"In the event of a flood, it is necessary to dig the river to divert the sewage into the big river. It can also be used to drain the water and fight the flood, such as planting some shrubs and trees."

"If it is a relatively small flood, local people use hemp rope bags to pack sand and make sandbags."

The occurrence of floods will be accompanied by epidemics and sanitation problems. If the water source is polluted, the people are very likely to get sick. Doctors are very important logistics resources, and disinfection is the top priority.

Xining originally thought about digging a large-scale canal and a relatively well-structured inland river, but when he thought about the level of equipment and work efficiency in ancient times, many plans could not be implemented.

Productivity is too backward, even if Ximen has rich science knowledge and strong hands-on ability, it is still an ant in the face of natural disasters.

Xi Ning couldn't even think about such a high-tech thing as a hydropower station.

"Okay, then try it according to what you said, and I will tell His Majesty to let other people cooperate with you to build the waterwheel together."

The next day, with the assistance of a large group of helpers, Xi Ning got all the parts of a rolling water truck out.

After that, it took a week and a day, and a large group of them made twenty rolling waterwheels.

In order to impress them even more, Xi Ning assembled the tumbling waterwheel on the spot in front of everyone.

The imperial court ordered officials to lead a group of people to transport the water trucks to the place where the drought occurred. Every imperial court official who led the team had an assembly drawing in his hand.

The drawings are very precious, more precious than the waterwheel itself.

No matter when eating, sleeping, or relaxing, the imperial court officials kicked in their arms for fear of being stolen.

In addition to handing them the drawings, Xi Ning also wrote a notice.

"I hope this drought and flood can pass sooner. The continuous natural disasters have killed many people." Xi Ning paid a silent tribute to the people in dire straits.

The imperial court ordered officials who set off to rush to the place where the drought occurred.

They quickly assembled the waterwheel according to the precautions written by Xining and the drawings given to them.

They found bamboo, split the bamboo, removed all the bamboo joints, and used it as a water pipe.
