Traveling through time as a peasant girl to turn things around

Ye Heng rode to the palace and arrived at the Imperial Study. The young eunuch, Xiao Dongzi, spotted Ye Heng and trotted over, saying, "Your Majesty, please go in later. The Emperor is busy." The eunuch then ran back outside the main hall and stood guard at the entrance. Ye Heng waited in a side hall until an hour later, when the eunuch arrived, saying, "The Emperor has asked Your Majesty to come in." Ye Heng arrived at the Imperial Study. The Emperor said, "Please sit down. Tea is served." Xiao Dongzi brought the tea and snacks and withdrew. Ye Heng said, "Your Majesty, I have something to tell you." The Emperor looked at him, waiting for him to speak. Ye Heng also looked at the emperor... "Royal brother?!" The emperor: "Go ahead." Ye Heng: "Hey, I want to open a factory. I accidentally got a blueprint. It is similar to the tribute glass from foreign countries. It can produce a windproof and transparent kind... I call it glass. If it is made properly, there will be countless benefits. I can earn a lot of silver. Our country's army will not lack silver." After hearing this, the emperor was shocked and thought of many benefits... Ye Heng said again, "I will do it myself, just as if it were our..." Ye Heng hesitated, "Just as if it were my own private treasury income, 20% for me and 80% for you, what do you think?" The emperor: "You take 30% and you take 70%." Ye Heng: "Okay, I'll listen to you. I'll get started. I'll take my leave." The emperor: "Wait, go see your sister-in-law and Xiaodong." Ye Heng: "Okay, just say that I will keep the position of queen for her." Ye Heng: Who will take charge of your harem? The mother of a country can't stay out of sight for a long time." "I've made up my mind. I'll tell everyone that the queen is seriously ill and won't see anyone. Let your mother take care of it for a while." "Your humble servant is leaving." Ye Heng walked out of the study slowly with a heavy heart. He looked up at the sky, turned back, and went to the study. "Royal brother!" The emperor looked at Ye Heng. "Royal brother, hold the civil and military examinations and recruit people with aspirations." After saying that, he turned and left.

The next day at court, the emperor issued an imperial decree: "Additional imperial examinations will be held in mid-October. The Secretariat should promptly convey this to all prefectures, counties, and cities." "Court dismissed."

Little Milk Bag said to Great Grandfather, "Let Second Uncle come; he enjoys business. Then ask Uncle Huo Hua if he's willing to stay in the capital and take care of Second Uncle." Chai Zhen thought about it and wrote a letter explaining the situation. Little Milk Bag called Dahua over and said, "Brother Dahua, take the letter home." "That's easy. Carrier pigeons are fast." Dahua took the letter and tied it to the pigeon, saying, "Send it to the Chai family in Taohua Village." The pigeon soared away.

The secret guard appeared in Ye Heng's study. "Master, the people are here." Ye Heng: "Let them in and call Xiao Guoguo."

Soon, Chai Zhen came in carrying Guoguo. Guoguo said, "Brother Ye," "Well, these are the people you're looking for. They all know how to forge iron. Just tell them what you want to do." Little Milk Bag took out the blueprints for the wheat threshing machine and the flour mill and handed them to Ye Heng. Ye Heng looked at them and handed them to his men. Ye Heng said, "Brother Ye, these are the three people I found for you."

Jiang Qin, Li Tong, and Wang Ming looked at the blueprints, glancing at each other for a general idea. Jiang Qin said, "Don't you quite understand?" Ye Heng looked at Guo Guo, and Little Milk Bag said, "Big brother, what don't you understand?" Jiang Qin pointed at the blueprints. Little Milk Bag saw the numbers and read them out one by one, explaining the sizes, specifications, shapes, and exploded diagrams. After explaining them one by one, the three finally understood and even knew what the words meant. Jiang Qin exclaimed, "What a clever design! Once this thing is available, it will save immeasurable labor." "Your Highness, the Ministry of Industry doesn't have the raw materials for this. Our army can try to make it, but it must have the materials from the Ministry of Industry." Ye Heng said, "Okay, I'll go find the Emperor." The men took the blueprints and returned to the barracks. Ye Heng said to Little Milk Bag, "Second Uncle, I'm going to the palace right now to ask the Ministry of Works to deliver the materials. You and Guoguo can go wherever you want. Also," Ye Heng took out the property certificate and handed it to Guoguo, saying, "This is a gift from your brother! Since you call me brother, I treat you as my own sister. You can't refuse." Little Milk Bag took it and thought, "Okay, Brother Ye, I won't treat you as an outsider anymore. I'll go take a look with my great-grandfather." Ye Heng: "Go ahead." Ye Heng called Xiao Shunzi over, "Take Uncle Chai and Guoguo to Wangfujing Street to look at houses."

Chai Zhen carried the little girl to the outside of the mansion. A carriage was already waiting for them. The two of them got in, with the servant Xiao Shunzi driving and the secret guards following behind to protect them. The fourth brother and Li Biaotou had gone out. They had been staying in the place Ye Heng had arranged for them these days. With someone to cook and wash clothes, they were comfortable. These people couldn't stay idle. They practiced martial arts in the morning and went out to explore the capital after dinner.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Chai Zhen and Xiao Naibao arrived outside a large mansion. Xiao Shunzi parked the carriage and said, "Uncle Chai, we're here, let's get off." Chai Zhen got off first and then picked up Guoguo. Xiao Shunzi walked in front, and Chai Zhen followed behind. Xiao Naibao looked at the gate and said, "Grandpa, this gate is so big, Grandpa, let me down." Chai Zhen put Xiao Naibao down and pulled her up the steps one by one. Xiao Naibao counted them as she went up, "Wow, more than ten steps." Standing at the highest point, Xiao Naibao looked back and said, "Grandpa, this is so majestic. The lions are majestic, and the copper nails on the door are shining." Chai Zhen thought to himself, it's true, can I blame the prince for his house? Xiao Shunzi said to the servant at the door, "This is Old Man Chai and Guo." The servant greeted, "Hello, Old Man, Hello, Guo." Xiao Shunzi felt that he had made a mistake and said, "This is the new master, I should say hello to him." The servant quickly knelt down and said, "Master, please forgive me." Little Milk Bun, "Brother, please stand up. This house was given to me by Brother Ye. From now on, you can call me Guoguo. We country people don't have masters and servants. This is my great-grandfather. You can just call me Old Man Chai." The servant quickly said, "You all listen to the master. My name is Huo Xiaobai. I'm the gatekeeper." Chai Zhen said, "Xiaobai, how many of you will guard the gate?" "Two, take turns day and night." Chai Zhen, "Okay, for now, it's just the two of you."

Xiao Shunzi brought Guoguo in, and the housekeeper Ye saw him and ran over from a distance, "Uncle Chai, Guoguo, you are here." Little Milk Bag, "Hello, Uncle Housekeeper, Brother Ye let me take a look." Ye Renwen, "Uncle Chai, Miss Guoguo and this old servant come in. Take a look. Do you like it?" He said as he walked, "If there is anything that needs to be fixed, just tell me. It will be almost done today." Little Milk Bag saw that the house was huge and asked, "Uncle Housekeeper, how big is this mansion?" Ye Renwen said, "It covers an area of ​​one hundred acres. This is the reward given to the prince by the emperor. The prince led his troops to repel the Qilian Kingdom that year and received the reward." Towards the front is the main hall and study. It is said that this was the mansion of the prince of the previous dynasty. It has been renovated several times and has been preserved to this day. It is very majestic and majestic. It is called the main hall, but it is actually a large hall, magnificent and resplendent with pavilions and towers, comparable to Ye Heng's mansion. Chai Zhen thought that they were just ordinary people, and whispered to Guoguo, "Guoguo, our family is just ordinary people. "It's okay, Grandpa. Since Brother Ye gave it to us, he will consider it well. You can live here without worry. Let Daddy come to look after the house tonight." Chai Zhen thought, okay. Little Naibao looked at the yard, walked around for a while and then stopped. She had thought about the rest. Things were planted in the backyard, and it couldn't be idle. Little Naibao said to the housekeeper, "Can I use the housekeeper's repairmen? They will be paid." Ye Renwen: "Of course, you don't have to pay. They are all people in our house." "Then go and clean up the shop for me now!" "Okay, I'll call them now, you go first." "Okay, uncle. "Xiao Shunzi drove the carriage and took Chai Zhen and Guoguo to the shop first. Xiao Naibao got out of the shop and walked. Chai Zhen found a broom and swept the dust on the wall. Xiao Naibao walked around and saw three rooms. He prepared a study, two bedrooms, a kitchen, a warehouse and another one for living.

In the palace. Ye Heng told the emperor that the materials needed to build threshers and flour mills were only available in the Ministry of Industry. If they were successful, they could produce more and sell them nationwide. He would give 70% of the profits to his brother. What do you think? The emperor said, "That's a good idea. I'll ask the Ministry of Industry to strongly support it." "But if it's a long-term production project, it's hard for the Ministry of Industry to say." Ye Heng said, "We can cooperate then. Not now. Even the Ministry of Industry has to hand over its profits to the court." Ye Heng went on to say that the Ministry of Industry didn't have any major problems and that Li Weimin was still okay. The Emperor: "Then we'll keep him. My dear brother, you should also supervise him more." "I know," Ye Heng continued. "I've given the house you awarded me to Guoguo." The Emperor: "What's awarded to you is yours. You decide." Ye Heng: "Thank you, my dear brother." The Emperor thought about his own son and thought he might live there too, so he called Xiao Dongzi over and said, "Go to my private treasury and find some things to send to Guoguo's house." "Guoguo has made great contributions to the country. If she can also make a thresher and a flour mill, it will be a great contribution." Ye Heng: "We'll see later what Guoguo needs and what your dear brother is rewarding her with. But my dear brother, Guoguo has been looking for human traffickers to buy land these days. She wants to grow grain and seeds. Your dear brother can give her some land. She can't afford to buy land, and farmers don't have much money. Land is the most economical." "Okay, then I'll give her the land. It will greatly facilitate the planting of grain seeds across the country. I'll issue an edict tomorrow." Ye Heng ground ink, and the Emperor immediately wrote the edict. "It will be read in the hall tomorrow."

"I'll take my leave now. I'm in a hurry to build a factory." "Go ahead," said the emperor.
