Hearing that they came for the double-share plow, Song Jinxiu took out a model to demonstrate to them.
When the Minister of Agriculture saw the double-share plow, he was amazed.
Lu Qiaoshou, the Minister of Works, also said excitedly, "If this is how double-plowshares work, then can we also make three-plowshares? Or four-plowshares?"
Song Jinxiu smiled, "Of course it's possible, but it would require more animals to pull the plow together. And it's difficult to get animals to obey."
Because a double-furrow plow has two plowshares, it requires at least two oxen to pull it.
If the two oxen do not cooperate in a coordinated manner, plowing may be dangerous.
For example, if one cow is under greater force and the other is under less force, the cow under greater force may simply stop moving due to the heavy load, and push all the pulling force onto the other cow.
If you whip it, it will only drive the cow that is in pain away, and the load will still be borne by one cow. Under the great force, the naughty cow will kneel down and lie on the ground. It may also be that it really cannot pull.
It is also possible that it was hit and rushed forward, scaring the other cow and causing it to fall down.
I witnessed this myself. So if we want to promote the double-furrow or triple-furrow plow, the key is to train the oxen well.”
Cows are strong, but they are the dumbest among livestock. If you want them to be obedient, you need experienced masters.
The Grand Minister of Agriculture nodded repeatedly, "Of course, of course. Although it's not easy, it might be possible, right?"
After seeing off the two old men, Song Jinxiu entered the space again. She thought about refining a few more furnaces of Kailing Pills, maybe it would be useful to feed them to the oxen.
Does this mean that three-furrow plows or four-furrow plows can really be used in Cangwu?
The next day, just after everyone had finished their meal, the person who announced the decree arrived.
Eunuch Hai led his men and entered carrying boxes of rewards.
"Princess Kangle accepts the order."
After Song Jinxiu led her family to kneel down, Eunuch Hai loudly announced:
"By the providence of Heaven, the Emperor proclaims: Princess Kangle, Song Jinxiu, is intelligent and wise, possessing the talent to stabilize the nation and pacify the people. Her heart is devoted to her country and the people of the world. I am pleased to see her. Therefore, I confer upon her the title of Princess Kangle, the First Rank of the State, and bestow upon her a golden decree. I hereby declare, and let all be informed. By decree!"
Song Jinxiu knelt down to express her gratitude.
She knew the emperor would reward her, but she never expected that His Majesty would confer upon her the title of Super First-Rank Princess. This title put her on par with the Grand Princess.
A little peasant girl, who had become a doctor, a princess, or a high-ranking official, was now crowned a princess. Why? And on what basis?
Everyone in the capital was shocked.
Cui Zixuan dropped another set of tea sets.
It was previously rumored that Song Jinxiu was the designated Crown Princess, but that was just a rumor after all, and she could choose not to believe it.
But today, with the clear imperial decree, that lowly girl became a high and mighty princess. Will she have to kneel down and kowtow when she sees her in the future?
"Come here, go buy up a lot of medicinal herbs for me. I want to monopolize the supply of medicinal herbs in the entire capital area and squeeze out the Jindan Pharmacy."
"Yes." The servant took the order and left.
Chen Yaer also tore up her new poem.
Ever since her title of the most talented woman was snatched away by Song Jinxiu, she has devoted herself to studying poetry, striving to make a stunning debut next time, surpassing Song Jinxiu and avenging her previous shame.
But what happened during the time I was studying so hard? How did that little girl make the leap to become a princess? Could it be that I couldn't even catch up?
At the Grand Princess's residence, Princess Kangning asked Madam Ke in disbelief, "What did you say? She became a princess? Why?"
The Grand Princess also questioned: "Why? How can a lowly girl be on equal footing with a real royal Grand Princess like her?
Humph! The emperor's brother is too partial to that girl."
In the past, she thought that as long as this girl didn't marry Su Mo, she would turn a blind eye.
But now it seems that she actually wants to surpass herself, humph! As long as she doesn't agree, she can forget about securing the title of princess.
"Madame Ke, go to Xiruo Academy and tell Yang Huai..."
"Okay, Princess, don't worry, I know what to do."
Nanny Ke ordered someone to harness the carriage and quietly set off from the corner gate.
Some people are envious, jealous and hateful, while others are happy to see it happen.
When the queen heard that Song Jinxiu had become a princess, a huge stone in her heart finally fell to the ground.
Although the emperor did not announce that he adopted Song Jinxiu as his adopted daughter, the title of Princess of the State showed that His Majesty had completely let go of Song Jinxiu.
So, following the imperial edict, the queen's reward also arrived, and this time the reward was particularly generous.
Cui Qiu from the Imperial Astronomical Observatory was also happy.
He was not mistaken, this little girl indeed had amazing luck. Excited, he drew the talisman array overnight.
The talisman ink is black cinnabar mixed with Song Sanzhu's blood, which can serve to strengthen the talisman formation.
Now we have the little girl's hair, her relatives' hair, and the little girl's horoscope. Once the talisman array is complete, we can activate the secret method of changing luck.
Humph, by then the little girl’s good luck will all belong to their Cui family.
Song Jinxiu received the imperial edict, and the aunt from the Shangyi Bureau came to tailor a princess-style palace dress for her.
Song Jinfang came bounding in, holding a snow-white Persian cat. Seeing Nanny Lin, she quickly changed her pace to small steps and said with an elegant smile, "Sister, thank you. I like Xiaobai very much. It's so cute."
When Song Jinxiu came back from helping with poverty alleviation, her younger sister's birthday had already passed, but she still had to give her the birthday present she promised.
Junjun brought seven or eight small animals that he thought were cute, including a hedgehog, a mouse, and a hibernating snake that seemed to be half awake.
Song Jinxiu had no choice but to reluctantly give up the blue-eyed and double-pupil Persian cat to her sister.
She had never seen this Persian cat before, so she asked Junjun to bring it over to see if her sister liked it.
Now it seems that this Persian cat is very much loved by her sister. Song Jinxiu smiled and said, as long as she likes it, that's fine.
She smiled and petted the Persian cat, then asked, "Is it called Xiaobai? Well, that's a good name."
The obedient Persian cat in her sister's arms was originally curled up in Song Jinfang's arms, enjoying her caress comfortably.
But when it saw Song Jinxiu, it shuddered, its eyes filled with disbelief and fear.
Song Jinxiu frowned and asked Junjun, "What's wrong with it? Does it have rabies?"
A sick cat is not a good option, so she reached out and took the Persian cat to prevent it from hurting her younger sister.
Junjun glanced at the Persian cat with some reluctance and said, "It was born with double pupils and can see things that humans cannot see, such as the owner's true soul.
"Master, your spirit is powerful. It's just afraid of you and instinctively submits to you."
He said with great depression, "It was because of this ability that I was attracted to it that I tried to open its intelligence. I originally wanted to train it as a younger brother, but I didn't expect that your sister would get the advantage. Humph!"
"If I become her pet, I can also find time to help you with things."
Song Jinxiu comforted Junjun and then looked at the Persian cat. At this time, the guy had already adapted to her aura and began to wink at her and act cute to please her.
He is indeed smart and quick-witted, no wonder Junjun is reluctant to let him go.
"Hey, sister, look, Xiaobai is so cute!"
Looking at the cute Persian cat, Song Jinfang's eyes curved with joy, and the old Song family's peach blossom eyes turned into crescents.
Song Qiu Sheng, who was standing at the door and saw this scene, snorted heavily in dissatisfaction.
"Humph! Bad sister!"
