Long Yuan quickly returned to the palace with the drawings and happened to meet the emperor.

He originally wanted to bypass his father but was spotted by Eunuch De in front of him.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has returned to the palace."

The emperor, who was originally thinking about sleeping with his wife, looked up and saw a figure around the corner.

"Let's go and follow him. I want to see what this kid is going to do next."

Soon the two of them followed Long Yuan quietly like thieves.

Long Yuan naturally noticed that his father was following behind him.

Acting as if nothing had happened, he walked all the way to his own bedroom.

Seeing that his father had no intention of coming out, he said to the door, "Father, why did your son come here?"

The emperor came in through the door embarrassedly, as if he was a thief who had been caught.

"Yuan'er, what have you been busy with recently? Your mother said that she hasn't seen you recently. Have you gone out to play with the little ones outside the palace again?"

Listening to the tone of his father's voice, Long Yuan felt like he was a playboy who only knew how to pursue women.

Without wanting to explain anything, he took out the drawing in his hand and put it on the table.

"What do you think this is?"

The emperor came closer and asked, "What is this?"

Long Yuan repeated to the emperor exactly what Su Muyao had said.

After hearing this, the emperor stood up and said, "Then why are you still standing there? Quickly ask the Minister of Works to come into the palace, and ask the Ministry of Works and the carpenters to come together and finish it first."

Eunuch De, who was standing nearby, received the order and hurried down to find someone to convey the message.

During this period, people from the three departments were called to the palace together.

Soon everyone took up their respective responsibilities and started to work.

It took only one day to finally make one, and the emperor looked at the huge thing in front of him.

"How do I use this?"

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that this baffle can bring water to the top and then flow down into the fields."

The emperor clapped his hands and remembered what Long Yuan had explained to him yesterday.

"Xiao Dezi, quickly send someone to notify the prince to take this thing to Xiaonaituan's house and install it as soon as possible. I really want to see it."

Soon, a horse-drawn carriage pulled the unassembled waterwheel to the Su family.

It was exactly dinner time, so the villagers didn't even bother to eat and ran to the river.

"I heard that the soldiers used a horse-drawn carriage to pull a huge wheel, but I didn't know what they were going to do."

"I know. I heard it's called a waterwheel."

A woman nearby also asked curiously: "What's the use of that?"

The person who originally spoke replied: "Why don't we go and take a look? That was done by Little Lucky Star.

Come on, if you go too late there will be no space left."

As soon as Su Muyao arrived at the river, she saw that it was surrounded by people in three layers inside and outside.

Su Muyao...

It's so big, with a diameter of about ten meters, and it was completed so quickly.

Su Muyao was amazed. With the emperor backing him up, Long Yuan was very efficient in doing things.

It's only been one day and it was done so quickly.

Su Muyao directed her father to lead people to dig a canal to bring water over.

There were many people on the scene, so it was easy to get the job done and it was dug out in no time.

Su Muyao was directing a group of people to help install it. The thing in front of them could be described as a behemoth.

Everyone who is standing should look up.

Just then someone shouted, "Look, it's moving."

"It really moved."

Some people shouted excitedly.

When water flows through the wheel axle, it drives the wiper blade to rotate through the clutch.

Bringing water to higher ground and into irrigation channels...

The people were all looking at the big thing in front of them, which was spinning automatically.

Suddenly someone shouted, "We don't have to carry water from far away anymore."

Everyone shouted together, "No need to carry water anymore, haha."

The people who reacted were all excited and crowded around the waterwheel.

The disguised emperor stood at the front of the crowd, grinning as he looked at the huge monster.

The people from the Ministry of Agriculture and the Ministry of Works nearby now wished they could kneel down before the emperor and flatter him.

But when they thought about the fact that the emperor had agreed in advance to conceal his identity, they could only put off their attempts to flatter him until after they returned to the palace.

Su Muyao looked at it for a while and sighed from the bottom of her heart that the ancient working people were very wise.

"It's Little Lucky Star. Little Lucky Star is truly a god."

"Yes, Little Lucky Star is a fairy who has come down to earth. She made the curved plow before and now she has made the waterwheel."

Su Muyao was helpless. These villagers praised her so much in front of the emperor. If the emperor was narrow-minded, she would be in danger of losing her life.

Long Yuan looked at the little girl being praised by the people and felt filled with pride.

Those people in the palace were indeed very nervous, but the emperor had some thoughts in his mind at this time.

If Long Yuan had this person to help him, there would be no need to worry about the prosperity of the dynasty.

The emperor took all the palace servants away, but left Long Yuan in the old Su's house.

Su Muyao watched everyone leave and breathed a sigh of relief.

Thinking about Long Yuan who was left behind, it was almost time for dinner and he had to prepare more food.

The weather was hot and no one in the Su family felt like eating, so they simply cooked some white porridge and fried two side dishes tonight.

I never thought that Long Yuan would stay for dinner, so I naturally couldn’t eat so shabby.

There were two tables of people at dinner in the evening, one table with the children and their wives, and Old Man Su, Old Lady Su, and Long Yuan sat at the main table.

Old Mrs. Su carried Su Muyao to the main table and sat with Long Yuan.

Su Muyao was not polite and pushed the plate of preserved eggs on the table towards Long Yuan.

“Try this.”

Long Yuan looked at the black egg, his face full of confusion, "What is this?"

Su Muyao grinned wickedly and said, "This is called preserved egg. I'm the only one in the entire dynasty who knows how to make it. Try it."

Long Yuan picked up a small piece and put it in his mouth, sighing as he ate, "It didn't look that good, but it turned out to be so delicious."

Thinking about the restaurants under his name, this rare food would probably be a big hit if served in the restaurant.

"Muyao, I own several restaurants in Beijing. Can you sell me the recipe for preserved eggs?"

Su Muyao nodded when she heard this and said, "Okay, I'll write it to you after dinner."

There was harmony at the dinner table. After everyone finished their meal, Su Muyao signed a preserved egg recipe with Long Yuan.

Looking at the 5 taels of silver in his hand, he felt that this sheep was much fatter than he had imagined.

Originally, I thought that this little boy said he had no money and only wanted to take a hundred taels of silver, but I never expected that he would offer five hundred taels.

He had been crying poor before, it seems his poverty is different from what I imagined.

If Long Yuan knew what Su Muyao was thinking, he would definitely snatch the five hundred taels of silver from her.
