Chapter 1175: The Emperor's Harvest
Yuwen Longyan was very surprised by the small sickle, but at the same time, he was still excited.
If this kind of small sickle was popularized throughout the country, wouldn't it save a lot of trouble for the farmers and commoners?
Yuwen Longyan looked at a small sickle and asked," Girl, this small sickle…"
Lin Yuelan said," Grandpa Wen, I had no choice but to come up with this small sickle to make it easier to cut the rice."
Yuwen Longyan immediately smiled with interest." Oh, so this thing was indeed created by you. Good, good, girl, you are really smart!"
Lin Yuelan said humbly," Grandpa Wen, you're too kind!"
Yuwen Longyan was standing in the field when he saw more than ten big things being carried over.
He asked curiously," Girl, what is that big bucket that's turned over?"
The person in front was carrying something that looked like a head with his shoulder, while the person behind was carrying the butt of the machine with his shoulder.
Lin Yuelan said," That's a grain thruster!"
Yuwen Longyan was not only curious but also surprised when he heard that it was a grain-thrusting machine.
The invention and function of this kind of farming machine have long been reported.
He only knew that the appearance of such a thing would truly benefit the farmers and commoners. It would save time, effort, and worry.
It was much more convenient than the common method of harvesting grain.
Otherwise, it would take a few days to harvest a few Mus of land. But what if the weather changed in the next few days? Then, whether it was collected or not, it was very likely that it would germinate, mold, and rot because of the rainy days.
However, with this kind of thrashing machine, as long as there were some people in the family, it was not a problem to harvest a few Mus of land a day.
After the grain was collected, he could focus on watching the sky and drying the grain. He did not have to worry about not collecting the grain in time because it was going to rain.
The farmers in the countryside all lived their lives according to the weather.
Therefore, the emergence of the thrusting machine was simply a miracle.
This miracle happened during his reign.
The Emperor was originally standing in the field, but when the thrusters got closer, he couldn't help but walk up the ridge, wanting to get closer to the thrusters.
Eunuch Zhang immediately put down his scythe and stood beside the Emperor.
The field was bumpy. He had to watch out if he accidentally fell.
Eunuch Zhang didn't know much about the thrusters, but seeing the Emperor's shocked expression, he knew that this thing was extraordinary.
He whispered," Master, be careful!"
There were more than a dozen thrusters, and one of them was carried to every place where people were harvesting rice.
Soon, the thrusters were sent over.
Lin Deshan and Doctor Zhang followed behind.
The two of them looked at Yuwen Longyan, who was in a sorry state, and immediately asked in surprise," Brother Wen, are you okay?"
Yuwen Longyan raised his hand and said," Brothers, don't worry. I'm fine!"
After the thruster was put down, he walked closer to it, looked around it, and touched it.
Then, he saw the structure of the thruster clearly.
A moment later, he asked," Girl, how do you use this grain thruster?" His tone was clearly filled with eagerness and desire.
Lin Yuelan sighed inwardly. 'This old emperor is indeed a good emperor!' Therefore, there was no reason to make things difficult for him.
She introduced them one by one. This was the wheel axis, one big and one small, which needed kerosene to be moistened. This was the roller axis and the axis, this was the bucket basin, this was the bucket cover, and this was the foot pedal. She placed her foot on the pedal and stepped on it with force. Then, she drove the wheel and the roller. She grabbed a handful of rice and stirred it in the roller. The grain leaked into the bucket!
Hearing Lin Yuelan's explanation, Yuwen Longyan nodded his head in a half-understanding manner. However, he still didn't understand the principles behind it.
However, he did not need to understand.
Soon, he said with an impatient expression," That girl, let's start harvesting the grains!"
As he spoke, he stood in the middle of the thrusters. It seemed that he wanted to personally thrash the grains.
Lin Yuelan smiled and said," Grandpa Wen, you can't stand in the middle like this. This required two to three people to step on it at the same time!"
Lin Yuelan nodded at Jiang Zhennan.
The moment the thruster arrived, it was set up.
