Farming game: raise cubs with equipment

Chapter 838 Watermelon
"Madam, are you serious?" The shopkeeper was a little stunned.

It is not that simple to plant watermelons all over the country.

"Of course it's true. I want Dazhou to be filled with watermelons so that everyone can afford watermelons." Yun Yiyi slowly revealed her plan.

"Okay, I'll take care of this."

The shopkeeper felt infinite heroism in his heart.

In the Great Zhou Kingdom, there was very little food and fruits were scarce.

Many vegetables and the like have to be imported from other countries, but the country says it has no cultivation technology.

If this watermelon could be planted all over the country, Da Zhou would not have to import it from Rong country in the future.

In order to understand the market, he also bought a watermelon from Rongguo and tasted it. It was not as big and sweet as Yun Yiyi's watermelon.

Yun Yiyi nodded.

While the vendors in the capital were still waiting for customers to buy watermelons, Yun Yiyi was already planning how to plant watermelons all over the country.

Yun Yiyi wrote down the soil characteristics and planting methods suitable for watermelon planting and handed them to the shopkeeper.

Her attitude of complete trust made the shopkeeper secretly praise her again.

A few days later, the craftsman made the fan that Yun Yiyi needed, and sent it over by himself.

"It's such a hot day, please take a trip." Yun Yiyi asked the maid to pour a glass of watermelon juice for the craftsman.

There are a few scattered ice cubes in the watermelon juice.

It's not that Yun Yiyi is reluctant to put more, but that eating too much of this kind of cold food will cause diarrhea easily.

The craftsman picked up the cup and took a sip: "I can't talk about it, I just want to come over and see how Madam is going to make this."

Yun Yiyi knew that this kind of craftsmen were more interested in these things, so she smiled: "It's too hot in summer, I asked you to do this to cool down."

"I don't know how this is assembled?" the craftsman asked.

Yun Yiyi squatted down and began to explain the assembly steps to the craftsmen.

"Shake the handle with your hand, and the fan blades will rotate, which will drive a cool breeze." Yun Yiyi asked someone to fetch a box of ice cubes and put them in front of the fan.

"Stand here and feel it."

Yun Yiyi asked the craftsman to stand in front of the ice cube, he shook the handle with his hand, and soon a gust of wind was generated, which carried the cold air of the ice cube and slowly spread around.

"Madam really has a good idea. It is indeed much cooler." The cool wind blowing towards the face dispelled the scorching heat of summer.

The craftsman felt as if he had just been pulled out of the boiling water and fell into the ice water, and his body felt comfortable for a while.

Even the skin unfolded comfortably.

Yun Yiyi stopped her hands: "This is the fan."

"I don't know if madam has the idea of ​​mass production?" the craftsman asked.

Yun Yiyi thought for a while.

She has done too many things recently, and it is estimated that she will not be able to spare manpower to produce this for a while.

"Yes, but I've been busy recently."

The craftsman understood: "If Madam has the idea of ​​mass production, please cooperate with me."

Yun Yiyi nodded.

After the craftsmen left, Yan Qinghe came from outside the pavilion.

"Qinghe, you came just in time."

Yan Qinghe looked up at her.

"This is a newly made fan." Yun Yiyi demonstrated it to Yan Qinghe.

A gust of cool wind blows towards Yanqing River.

"It's a good tool." Yan Qinghe praised.

"The summer is hot, so I want to promote the fan vigorously, but you know, I have recently dispatched people to the oil mill, and I don't know when I will be back. I wonder if Qinghe has any good suggestions?" Yun Yiyi said with a little distress.

Yan Qinghe's eyes flickered: "If Yiyi can't get away, it's better to leave this matter to others."

"You mean?"

"Prince." Yan Qinghe said slowly, "Prince is the most suitable person who has the ability to vigorously promote fans. He is the prince. He is the most suitable person to do things that benefit the people."

Yun Yiyi's eyes suddenly brightened.

This is true.

"I'm going to the palace right now."

Yan Qinghe hurriedly stopped her: "It's hot today, so leave this matter to me. When I go down to court tomorrow, I'll talk to the prince."

Yun Yiyi thought about it, but didn't insist anymore.

Yan Qinghe secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The next day, morning after morning.

Yan Qinghe didn't move forward as fast as usual, but slowly lagged behind.

The prince and other ministers had finished talking and were about to leave when they saw Yan Qinghe.

Thinking of the cart of watermelons that Yun Yiyi sent, he walked towards Yan Qinghe: "Master Yan."

Yan Qinghe seemed to have just discovered him, turned around and saluted: "His Royal Highness."

"A few days ago, Mrs. Yan sent a carload of watermelons, but Gu didn't have time to thank Mrs. Yan."

Yan Qinghe nodded slightly: "His Royal Highness is being polite, but it is just a little thought from his wife, please don't take it to heart."

Seeing his frowning expression, the crown prince asked, "Master Yan, is there something bothering you?"

Yan Qinghe glanced at him in embarrassment: "It's nothing to worry about, but recently my wife made a fan to relieve the heat. She originally wanted to promote this fan, but recently she suffered from lack of manpower. Delay."

The prince's heart skipped a beat.

A cooling fan?
He asked: "I wonder if I can let Gu take a look?"

Yan Qinghe smiled: "If His Royal Highness does not dislike it, please move forward."

The crown prince shook his head, and followed him back to Yan Mansion.

Yun Yiyi was blowing on the fan on the recliner to cool off, when someone said that the prince was coming.

She quickly straightened her sitting posture.

Not long after, Yan Qinghe brought the prince over.

Seeing Yun Yiyi, Yan Qinghe blinked at her indiscriminately.

Yun Yiyi nodded and saluted the prince, "Your Highness."

The prince saw the fan behind the reclining chair at a glance, and was surprised at the moment: "Is this a fan?"

"Exactly, go and demonstrate to the prince." Yun Yiyi said to the maid.

The servant girl moved the lotus steps lightly, asking the prince to walk to the reclining chair.

She started to turn the handle of the fan with her hands, and soon the wind was generated, blowing towards the prince along with the coolness of the ice.

"It's really cool, it's really a magic tool to cool off the heat." The prince took a breath, and the nostrils were filled with coolness.

His eyes flickered, and he looked at Yun Yiyi: "I wonder if Mrs. Yan can cooperate with Gu to mass-produce fans."

Yun Yiyi was slightly pleasantly surprised: "If His Royal Highness is willing, it would be great."

The prince nodded in satisfaction, and finalized the production matters with Yun Yiyi.

After the prince returned to the mansion, he summoned several staff members and told them what happened today.

"His Royal Highness, is that fan so magical?" asked an old man in civilian clothes.

The crown prince nodded: "Don't worry, Mr. Lin. I have seen it with my own eyes. If fans can be produced in large quantities, it will be a good thing for the people of Dazhou."

"If this matter is accomplished, the crown prince's benevolence will be known to the world." Tsing Yi's staff said.

"Zihan is right, the prince may give it a try." Elder Lin stroked his beard.

Hearing that several staff members said so, the prince was relieved to do this matter.

The oil mill that Yun Yiyi cooperated with before has already begun to take shape.

He was earning a lot of money every day, and even the emperor, who was always stingy with compliments, praised him a few words when he saw him.

If this fan is done well, the benefits will naturally not be low.

One is that there are no fans in all countries, only this one.

If it shows up, it will definitely be snatched up.

The second is that it was invented by Da Zhou, so it is natural that he, the crown prince, should control the direction.

Fortunately, he met Yan Qinghe when he was going to the morning court, otherwise he would have missed this kind of thing.

The emperor will definitely praise him for such a good deed that benefits the country and the people.

After confirming, the prince went on a pilgrimage to the palace and told the emperor about it.

"Father, if we want to vigorously build a fan factory, we will need a lot of money and manpower. The manpower is easy to say, but the money..."

The prince paused when he said this, and he transferred all the profits from the oil mill to the emperor.

He doesn't have much left. If he wants to build a fan factory right now, it's not that he can't afford the money, it's just that he doesn't have that much.

Hearing what he said, the emperor immediately understood his difficulty.

"What's so difficult? Let's get the money out of my private treasury." The emperor smiled.

The prince was overjoyed and quickly thanked: "Thank you, Father."

The emperor thought for a while and said, "You should take good care of this fan factory."

The implication is that the revenue of the fan factory does not need to be distributed to him.

"Yes, my son will definitely supervise." The prince said solemnly.

The moment he raised his head, he caught a hint of guilt in the emperor's eyes.

He turned and licked his lips.

Half of the proceeds from the glass factory went into the state treasury, and half of the proceeds from the oil mill went into the emperor's private treasury. The emperor felt guilty for him, so he gave up the fan factory.

The emperor's eyes followed the prince's figure until the prince disappeared from sight.

Then he sighed, "This child is still blaming me."

The chief eunuch hurriedly said: "One day, the crown prince will definitely understand your painstaking efforts."

"I hope, what happened back then, I was the one who hurt him after all." The emperor's eyes showed a trace of sadness, "But why doesn't he think about me, the palms and backs of his hands are full of flesh, how can I let go of this?"

The chief eunuch didn't know what to persuade, and maybe he didn't need to persuade.

This is just the feeling of an emperor.

"How is Xiao Si recently? Are you rebellious?" After a while, the emperor asked.

He has been busy with government affairs recently, but he has no time to pay attention to Xiao Si.

"Returning to Your Majesty, His Royal Highness has been staying in his mansion recently and has not gone out." After thinking for a while, the chief eunuch added, "I heard from the servants in his mansion that His Royal Highness is drinking and having fun all day long."

Although the Fourth Prince had such an incoherent temperament before, he had never been like this before, as if his heart was dead, and nothing could shake him anymore.

"Forget it, let him go. As long as he doesn't do anything outrageous, I can raise him for the rest of his life." The emperor rubbed his brows, feeling a little headache. He has always owed this child. On the side of the child, mother and concubine, maybe they won't make trouble to this point.

But now, the two sons have a estrangement from him in their hearts.
