Traveling back to ancient times begins with the use of stone tools

Leng Ruoxue started to speak, but Si Nongqing didn't respond. When it came to Si Nongsi's thankless work, Si Nongqing understood it well.

Speaking of the expressions of local officials, Si Nong Qing felt like he had found a confidant.

Speaking of profit, Si Nong Qing got excited and discussed it with Leng Ruoxue all the way to the Si Nong Department. He refused to let the person go even after he was demoted. Finally, Leng Ruoxue had no choice but to invite Lord Si Nong Qing to go to her house with her.

Leng Zejin has resigned, and the Leng residence is ready to welcome Leng Ruoxue.

As a result, Leng Ruoxue brought back 51 people, all of whom were officials.

Fortunately, the Leng family didn't have many servants, so everyone squeezed together and managed to make the arrangements.

The news spread quickly in the capital, especially when there were 50 child officials appearing at once, all of them from the village.

The Duke of Wei's Mansion also received the news and sent many servants to help Wei Yu.

After a tense meal, Si Nong Qing didn't even have the chance to talk to Leng Ruoxue. In the end, he had to eat and go back.

Everyone was tired. After eating and washing up, Leng Ruoxue reminded everyone to talk less, listen more, learn more, and watch more, and then everyone went to bed.

In the morning, everyone still felt like they were dreaming about what happened yesterday, but they were urged to eat breakfast and go to work.

There were not enough carriages in the Leng family's house. Fortunately, Wei Yu hired a carriage in advance. Leng Ruoxue yawned as she accompanied the children to work.

The Ministry of Agriculture didn't know what to do with these newcomers. Leng Ruoxue suggested that they should organize and copy the agricultural records of the places where they would be assigned, or copy the books of the Ministry of Agriculture.

Fortunately, the children in Lengjia Village were forced to learn. Although their handwriting was not very good, they could recognize the characters and write them.

Those who were awarded silver as a reward for being in the top three for several months performed particularly well.

He was smart and knew how to respect the elderly, and he quickly became friends with the people from the Sinong Division.

The children are also very united. The older ones take care of the younger ones, and the boys take care of the girls. The entire Sinongsi is no longer lifeless but full of vitality.

Those who could enter a poor department like the Ministry of Agriculture were all petty officials who had no connections or background and had studied hard. When it came to knowledge, they were certainly better than the children, but when it came to farming, many officials were not as good as the children who grew up working in the fields.

Moreover, these children have seen the emperor and attended palace banquets. They dress... better than these petty Beijing officials and live closer... There is simply no comparison.

Leng Ruoxue had just gone to the Ministry of Industry to find someone to install power generation equipment when she was called back to the Leng residence, saying that there was an imperial edict.

Leng Ruoxue rushed back to the Leng residence to receive the order.

"The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims: Leng Ruoxue, the Princess of Qingyuan County, is kind and virtuous, and has both good morals and artistic talent. She has been intelligent since childhood, and is well-educated and talented. I hereby confer the title of Princess of Huiguo, and grant her a golden book. I will allow her to be modest and keep her wealth, and to be more prosperous. I will allow her to be noble but frugal, and to be known as a worthy wife forever. Do not replace her elegant manners, and give her a generous salary. I will award her a token to enter the palace, a Princess's Mansion, and an Imperial Manor... I decree this!"

Leng Ruoxue accepted the order and expressed her gratitude, and Wei Yu gave her father-in-law a generous reward.

The eunuch took it with a smile. The women of the Duke of Wei's mansion still had imperial edicts and titles, so any number would be fine. He drank a cup of tea and congratulated them a few times, then said that the emperor had instructed that there was no need to go to the palace to express gratitude, as electricity was more important, and then he went back.

Leng Ruoxue was not excited at all, she exchanged it for silver.

Under the leadership of Eunuch Li, they went to the dam closest to the imperial palace and installed the finished hydroelectric generator.

I checked the wiring myself again.

I have to say that the craftsmanship of the craftsmen in the capital is still very good. Leng Ruoxue spent a long time in Qingyuan County to extract the rubber from Duruo. She also arranged for Uncle Liu to go to various places to collect Duruo's branches, leaves and bark. It took a year to store enough electricity for a county town.

The ones made in the capital are actually better than those in Qingyuan County.

The workmanship of the switch and safe is also excellent.

And because there is no electricity, production has been going on non-stop... and now it is just in time to be used.

No matter whether you understand it or not, the lines were all laid out according to Leng Ruoxue's requirements.

Leng Ruoxue was only responsible for setting up the safes and switch boxes and installing a few. The people brought by Eunuch Li already knew how to do it, so they dispersed to set up the safes and switch boxes.

"Eunuch Li, I will install an electric meter in the Leng residence first, and also lay out the electrical wires in the Leng residence."

Of course you have to enjoy good things first.

"County Lady... Princess, rest assured. The electrical wires in Leng's residence and the Duke of Wei's residence have been laid. As long as the electric meter and switch are installed, they can be used."

"Who else has finished the fabric?"

Leng Ruoxue didn't pay attention yesterday.

"That's not the case. I knew that the lights would be available once the princess arrived, so I took the initiative to install electric wires in Leng's residence and the Duke of Wei's mansion first."

"From now on, I will work under the princess."

Leng Ruoxue understood that this was the person arranged by the emperor.

"Thank you, Eunuch Li. I don't have much time to stay in the capital. It will take you to decide which family will be laid out first and which will be laid out later."

"As for these wires and other things, the production can be left to you, father-in-law. I am not familiar with the capital, and I don't have any capable assistants. I'm sorry to trouble you, father-in-law."

They are all very smart.

"No, no, I am doing this for your majesty, I will do my best."

"Do you know where the Princess's Mansion is?"

"I know. I'll arrange for someone to lay the wiring right away."

"Then I'll trouble you, father-in-law."

Leng Ruoxue was not polite either.

The father-in-law asked the people around him to do it, and he and Leng Ruoxue first went to the vicinity of Leng's house and installed the electric meter in Leng's house. After the electric meter was installed here, the safe and switch box were also installed there.

The Duke of Wei’s Mansion was also installed.

They were all installed outside, and Leng Ruoxue did not go in.

"It will take some time for them to install it. Can I take you to the Princess's Mansion to have a look?"

"Alright"

Anyway, everyone below knows how to do it, so there is no need to do it yourself.

The Princess's Mansion is about 30 minutes away from the Duke of Wei's Mansion. "Cousin?"

Leng Ruoxue took a look and saw that it was her second cousin Wei Qinzhong.

"cousin"

"Aunt is bringing people to help you clean up. I brought people to help renovate the washroom. I just happened to see someone coming to install the lights. Can the lights be used?"

"About a day or two."

"Eunuch Li!"

"Second son!"

The two people greeted each other.

"Then I won't go in yet. I'll go check it out. The sooner I finish it, the sooner I can use the lights."

The water, sewage and electricity issues that I was most concerned about have been taken care of by others, so let’s just get down to business.

"Okay, cousin, you go ahead and do your work. We'll talk when you're free. I know you're busy, so don't worry about this. I've arranged everything for you."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work!"

Leng Ruoxue and Eunuch Li left without any purpose.

"Father-in-law, where is our office?"

“There are three places to choose from, and the production workshop is in the suburbs.”

Eunuch Li took Leng Ruoxue to look at them one by one.

There is a house each in South City, North City and West City.

The east is noble, the south is rich, the west is merchant, and the north is humble.

The east side is where the powerful and wealthy live, the south side is where the rich and aristocratic consumption areas are, the west side is where businessmen and civilian consumption areas are, and the north side is where civilians live.
