Female-to-male: I live on farming

Chapter 48 Making a Harvester

"Oh? He really asked that?"

Princess Jinyang picked up the brush, rolled up her sleeves, and wrote on the rice paper.

Gu Lanxi placed the still steaming tea next to her hand and looked at the word "Liang" written in a flamboyant style on the paper.

"Yes, Your Highness." The secret guard in black stood aside and reported with an expressionless face, his tone as calm as ever.

"Did he say anything else?" Gu Lanxi also became interested.

The secret guard's face remained expressionless: "No, Miss Lu stopped him from continuing."

"In that case, then just keep watching and report to me if there is any situation at any time." Jinyang waved his hand, motioning him to go down.

When they were the only two people left in the room, Gu Lanxi turned around and landed in her arms. Her delicate hands rested on her shoulders, and she said sourly, "That Miss Lu is very cautious."

Jinyang put his arm around her waist with one hand, as if he was already used to her sudden attacks. Noticing the sourness in her tone, he couldn't help but chuckle.

"What? Are you jealous?"

As he laughed, he moved closer to her small earlobe.

Feeling the hot air blowing beside her ears, Gu Lanxi felt the itch in her heart. She couldn't help but tilt her head and said angrily, "You talked with that Miss Lu alone in the room for so long. Who knows what you talked about?"

Of course Gu Lanxi knew that there was nothing going on between them, she just wanted to take advantage of her favor to make trouble with her.

"I asked her about her family situation. Haven't you investigated the two of them? I wanted to ask her if she needed my help. After all, I had some friendship with her mother's family before." Jinyang rested his chin on her shoulder.

"You can tell she refused without having to guess. Qin Ke was extremely nervous. If there was no friendship, she wouldn't have run around asking for help for him."

"I know, but I should ask first." Jin Yang could guess it.

Gu Lanxi tilted his head and rubbed her cheek, showing his intimacy and dependence, and said, "What do you think of this Lu Youqing? Do you want to use her?"

"She's not qualified yet."

She is indeed very smart, but intelligence alone is not enough. If she wants to enter Jinyang's camp, she needs more chips.

Gu Lanxi glanced at the words on the desk and asked the question that Qin Ke and Lu Youqing were both curious about: "You've thought about that question, right?"

However, unlike them, although Gu Lanxi asked questions, his tone was full of confidence.

"I have been missing for too long, and those people in the court are getting anxious." Jinyang changed the subject.

She did not give a clear answer to her question, but Gu Lanxi, who was familiar with her, had already gotten the answer she wanted.

However, when she heard Jinyang's words, her heart suddenly tightened.

"Are you going back?" She knew what she would face if she went back, but she couldn't stop her or help her.

"Well," Jin Yang closed his eyes on her shoulder, and said softly, "I will ask for permission to seal the title after I return. You don't have to worry."

Gu Lanxi heard the hidden meaning in her words and asked in surprise, "Have you decided?"

"Ah."

Jinyang didn't say much. There was already enough tacit understanding between the two of them, and they understood everything tacitly.

What's more, the word "grain" written in a flamboyant style on the paper has already explained a lot of problems.

"Don't worry, I will keep a close eye on Qin Ke and his team. If he can really grow such high-yield crops, it will solve many of our problems."

"Well, I'll leave these secret guards to you. You can tell them what you need."

……

Qin Ke, who was still flirting with Lu Youqing in Qinghe Village, had no idea that everything he said to his wife had reached their ears.

Since ancient times, people in high positions have been very cautious and suspicious. You must know that the news that the eldest princess is here is top secret. Qin Ke and others know her identity, even if they are tactful and will not reveal it to others.

But she doesn't trust others easily.

Gu Lanxi worked very quickly, and no one knew what she had said to the village chief, but within just a few days, she sent people to start building a factory at the foot of the mountain not far from Qinghe Village.

But Qin Ke clearly discovered that when the village chief saw him again, his attitude towards him was much more respectful.

That day, Gu Lanxi and her companions came in a horse-drawn carriage. Many people in the village saw it. The carriage was extremely luxurious, and the attendants and maids following it were also well dressed. They all guessed that Qin Ke had hooked up with a nobleman and her status was no longer the same.

People always change their attitudes according to the situation. Knowing that Qin Ke had met a noble person, they were extremely attentive to him when they saw him in the village.

Even Li Nanqiao enjoyed treatment he had never enjoyed before when walking in the village.

The Gu family is wealthy and has abundant funds, so they built the factory very quickly. Moreover, when Gu Lanxi discussed with Qin Ke before, he said that the current factory is only temporary, so there is no need to build it too complicated.

At the same time as the factory was being built, the carpenter Qin Ke wanted was also sent to him. The person who brought them was a woman in her twenties.

The woman called herself Pei Xiu, and was a manager under Gu Lanxi. She was very thoughtful and steady in her words and actions.

She was a few years older than Qin Ke, so Qin Ke called her Sister Pei. Qin Ke knew that she came to him not only to send people, but also to supervise him.

After the manpower arrived, Qin Ke started working hurriedly. Before the factory was built, he gave lectures to the craftsmen in his own yard and assigned tasks according to each person's expertise. He planned to build a model according to the blueprint first.

From the moment he started preparing to start the construction, Pei Xiu arranged people to guard the area around his house and no outsiders were allowed to enter.

The drawings provided by the system are detailed enough, and there won't be any problems if you just build and assemble them step by step according to the proportional dimensions above. However, today's carpenters and blacksmiths do everything by hand, so it's difficult to grasp the dimensions.

Fortunately, the people sent by Gu Lanxi had good skills. Most of them were older than Qin Ke, and they did not rely on their seniority to make decisions. They just did whatever Qin Ke said.

Qin Ke was very satisfied with this. On the day the factory was completed, they successfully made the model. Looking at the successfully rotating and exquisitely complex model, Pei Xiu finally smiled.

This was the first time Qin Ke saw her expression since she came here.

After the model experiment was successful, Qin Ke led the craftsmen in the factory to make an enlarged version of the harvester. Craftsmen entering and leaving the factory had to be checked and searched, and the supervision was very strict.

However, although the model is easy to make, the blades on the real harvester need to be made of iron. The Dayan Dynasty has strict management of iron, but Qin Ke naturally doesn't have to worry about this.

It is not a problem for the Gu family, who is rich enough to rival a country, to get some iron tools.

Qin Ke went out early and came back late, and finally finished the harvester before the autumn harvest.
