The county magistrate's daughter only wants to farm
Chapter 59 Seemingly Reasonable Reasons
A group of people were chatting while grilling meat, and before they knew it, the topic turned to Gu Yin. A young man named Liang Wenyan asked, "Why did Miss Gu come up with the idea of a thresher?"
Gu Yin: ...I saw it in my previous life.
But she couldn't say that. Gu Yin thought about it and found a seemingly reasonable reason for herself: "When I went to the fields with my father to inspect, I saw that they had a hard time threshing the rice, so I wondered if I could make a tool that could save effort. If there was a tool that didn't take much effort, I think they could harvest the rice faster."
Several people were stunned when they heard this. Then what? Can a labor-saving tool be made just by thinking about it?
"That's it? Then why did you think of the threshing machine?"
"When I saw that old man photographing rice, I wondered if there was a tool that I could use to thresh the rice by simply placing rice stalks on it. In other words, let the tool do the work instead of people, so that the tool can do more work and people can do less work."
"Think about it, what kind of tool can move quickly? It's something that can roll. Just like that, following this idea step by step, the thresher was born."
After saying that, Gu Yin nodded to herself. She almost convinced herself.
After listening to this, several people were thoughtful. It did sound quite reasonable. As for why they could think of such a clever method of rolling the wheel, they could only explain it by talent. After all, if they had not seen the appearance of the threshing machine, they would not have been able to think of it even if they were given so many hints.
However, Jun Lan on the side was skeptical. A person might be able to invent a thresher by chance, but what about other things?
The curved plow and waterwheel are both related to farming, and are the same agricultural tools as the thresher. If we are more sensitive to the manufacturing of agricultural tools, then how do we explain the winemaking technology and the sweet potatoes and rice that have not yet been harvested?
To put it another way, tools can be made with existing materials, but where do sweet potatoes and rice come from? He had sent people to investigate, but they could not find out the source of these crops, as if they appeared out of thin air.
"Ms. Gu is really smart. I admire you." Liang Wenyan cupped his hands and said with emotion, "I grew up in the countryside, but I never thought of making a tool to improve farming. I am really ashamed."
"Haha, no, no, it's just a coincidence." Gu Yin felt inexplicably guilty.
However, she felt more confident when she thought about the fact that those tools were beneficial to the people and not harmful. She couldn't pretend she didn't know there were better tools that could improve people's lives.
She couldn't bear to watch them work so hard but not have enough food to eat. If launching new tools casually would trigger a butterfly effect, then why did she come to Daji Dynasty for no reason? This itself was irrational.
Maybe the purpose of her coming here is to let the people here live a better life. Thinking of this, Gu Yin stopped thinking about it and left everything to God. She just did what she could.
"Ms. Gu has done so much, but do you have any ideals or beliefs?" Su Zimo asked casually.
"Hehe, lie down." Gu Yin laughed.
"Lie flat?" An unexpected answer, but what does it mean?
"What does that mean?" someone asked.
"It means exactly what it says. You can rest when you want to, and play when you want to. You don't have to worry about how much money you have to spend. You can have everything you want without having to worry about spending money." Gu Yin explained with a longing look on her face.
"Huh? Chen Shuo, isn't your family quite rich?" Zhang Letian was surprised. Could it be that a county magistrate's family couldn't even afford to support a girl?
Gu Chenshuo was also stunned after hearing what Gu Yin said, and began to reflect on whether his family did not give his sister enough pocket money, so why did his sister not dare to spend money casually?
"Alas...it's not just about money." Gu Yin waved her hands. She didn't explain it clearly. "Even if you have money, you have to eat delicious food and have fun. Otherwise, there's nothing to pursue."
"for example?"
"For example... this barbecue? This milk tea? Have you ever eaten them before?" Zhang Letian was stunned, but he hadn't.
"For example, there are only a few things to eat, drink and play in Ning County. Don't you want to go out shopping occasionally and eat delicious food? Don't you want to have a lively, clean and prosperous place to play?"
is that so……
It sounds like life before was a bit too monotonous.
"Come on, the future of Ning County depends on you!"

"Well... do you mind if we let Yunniang and Li Niang go?" Gu Yin found an opportunity to suggest to Song Ruorou and Ye Ningxin that Yunniang and Li Niang should help out at the milk tea shop.
Yunniang and Liniang were the two girls who were rescued from Village Chief Xie’s house earlier. One was called Du Yunniang and the other was called Yun Liniang.
Although the Daji Dynasty was open, just like in modern times, there were always some people who looked at divorced women strangely. In the minds of these people, divorce for women was a sin.
Although Yunniang and Liniang are victims, if their experiences are known one day, there will always be people who will speak ill of them. As bosses, are they willing to take such unknown risks? If something like that really happens, can they protect them?
Gu Yin told the two of them her thoughts, but unexpectedly, they shook their heads without hesitation. They didn't mind.
Especially Ye Ningxin, she was almost harmed by that beast. If Gu Yin hadn't arrived in time, she didn't know what would happen to her now, so how could she care about these things.
Knowing that the two had no objections, Gu Yin called Yun Niang and Li Niang after the barbecue that day and said, "Ruorou and Ningxin are planning to open a milk tea shop. We would like to invite you to help with the work. Are you willing?"
Seeing the two people's stunned looks, Gu Yin added: "If you don't want to go out and show your face, that's fine, don't feel pressured. If you are willing to go, the monthly salary is 500 coins."
"Yes." The two of them reacted and nodded quickly.
Since they were brought back by Gu Yin, they have been living with the maids. They help Aunt Xie during the day and have witnessed the ability of the county lady. They realize that women can do a lot of things and don't have to rely on men. They want to earn money and save money to move out and do it themselves, so as not to burden the county lady.
Seeing that the two were willing to go out, Gu Yin smiled and encouraged: "Do it well, I believe you can do it well."
The two nodded excitedly, their eyes slightly red.

"Yes, yes, yes. Lay the bluestone slabs underneath and adjust the height according to the lines drawn next to it."
"Use blue bricks to build the middle part, and make sure it is firmly built."
"Eh... No, no, we need to leave a hole next to it to allow for the pipelines in the alleys on both sides."
The sewer pipes on Ning'an Street have been dug, and now it's time to lay the inner part. County Magistrate Cheng Xingwang is directing the work, and he looks like he wants to do it himself...
