A small peasant girl who traveled through time and space picked up a war god prince

The chief eunuch, Eunuch Hu, entered the imperial study to report to the emperor that the Third Prince had arrived with an important report. The emperor stood up excitedly. "Really? Quick, quick, quick! This boy must have found the Third Prince's whereabouts." Feng Mojun entered the study and bowed to the emperor. The emperor hurriedly stopped Feng Mojun and said, "No need to be polite. Tell me the situation. How is the Third Prince? Is his injury serious? Is he alright?" Feng Mojun replied, "The Third Prince is fine, but he needs to rest for a while, and the assassin hasn't been identified yet. The evidence points to Concubine Fang, so she needs to wait for me. The Third Prince asked me to bring you a letter and a blueprint." The emperor asked curiously, "Oh, blueprints? What blueprints? What are you up to? Where's the letter? Let me see it first." Feng Mojun handed the letter to the emperor. The emperor was furious after reading it. It was the Fang family again, but the emperor didn't show it and picked up the blueprint. The emperor looked at the blueprint and asked curiously, "What is it?" It looks a bit like a plow, but why is it bent? Feng Mojun said that this is a new type of plough. It has been tested and is very useful, so the Third Prince asked me to bring it back to the Ministry of Works to be made, so that the people can increase their farming productivity. This plow saves time and labor, and its promotion can also increase yields and the area of ​​​​cultivated land. This plow can be held by one person. The plows we used to use required three or four people to hold them, but this one can be done by one person. Is your Majesty serious? Quickly call the Minister of Works to come over and make one quickly. I want to go to the imperial farm to see it and test it myself. In recent years, our country's grain production has been low, and the efficiency of farming cannot keep up with the change of seasons, so the income is also low. If it is true as you said, this is a great achievement, right? The original straight-beam plow, which required three or four people to maneuver, could turn over three mu of land a day. This plow could turn over ten mu of land a day. With three or four people, they could cultivate ten mu of land in a single day. This would increase our country's grain production. They thought this device was a great benefit to both the country and the people. Who invented it? Did the third prince draw it? The third prince said it was an 11-year-old girl. Their family had purchased 500 mu of wasteland, and the girl, finding the original plow too slow, drew her own. The emperor was amazed. An 11-year-old girl could have such a brilliant mind. He must reward her handsomely. It was truly extraordinary. The emperor told Feng Mojun, "Wait a few days until the Ministry of Works has finished its work. Once we've completed our experiments, I will reward this girl generously. You must be tired from working day and night. Go home and rest. I'll summon you when I hear from you." After Feng Mojun left. The emperor happily took the letter to the empress's Cining Palace. The empress looked at the letter from her son and was so happy that she was incoherent. On Concubine Fang's side, the person who inquired for information came back and said that the emperor and the third son of the Feng family were talking in the imperial study and no one could get close to them. They didn't get any information. Concubine Fang was so angry that she smashed the cup and roared loudly in the palace, "Bitch, you are all bitches. Why didn't you poison them to death?" The old nanny next to Concubine Fang stopped her and said, "My queen, please be careful that walls have ears. The third prince is injured outside. We still have a chance. He hasn't come back yet." Concubine Fang smiled and said, "Yes, there is still a chance. As long as he doesn't return to the palace, it has nothing to do with us if something unexpected happens."

News arrived today from the Prime Minister's residence, saying Miss Sun has also gone there. Do you think we should send a few people to bring Miss Sun back? Concubine Fang said, "Go back and tell the Prime Minister to send a few people to bring Miss Sun back and tell them to keep a close eye on her and not let her wander off without permission." "Little girl, you think I don't know about her little tricks and you're trying to go against me? How ridiculous! The situation in the palace is different."

Back to Siyu, Siyu and a few others took the contract and rags written by her second aunt, bought some cakes and went home. A few people walked past the big tree, and the people under the tree pointed and talked. Siyu didn't pay attention, but Zhou Tingxuan heard it. Zhou Tingxuan was puzzled, wondering what was going on. After returning home, Siyu told her mother about the profit-sharing contract signed by her second aunt. There was also the matter of the rag doll. After dinner, Zhou Tingxuan called the secret guard and asked about the things in the village. Knowing that Bai Shuya was causing trouble again, Zhou Tingxuan told the secret guard to teach her a lesson.

A few days passed in a blink of an eye. Bai Shuya's injuries were almost healed. On the night after she came back from the county, she was beaten for some unknown reason. Her face was bruised and swollen, and she didn't know who beat her, so she didn't dare to go out for a few days. A few days passed, and today she was going to the county town to find the young lady. When she arrived in the county, she came to the inn and asked the shopkeeper where the young lady who had stayed there a few days ago had gone. The shopkeeper said that she had checked out this morning and someone from her family came to pick her up. Bai Shuya walked out of the inn in a daze. Why did she leave? Finally, there was someone who could deal with that bitch, why did she leave!

In the carriage en route from the county to the capital, Fang Miaoru was still furious. "I'm not going back, I'm not going back. I'm going to find Cousin Xiao soon," the nurse and wet nurse inside the carriage advised. "Young Miss, the Prime Minister has said: If you dare to sneak out again, you will be married to the second son of the Minister of Personnel." Sun Miaoru knew that Grandpa was a man of his word. To secure his position, officials in the Ministry of Personnel were evaluated and promoted. She had heard that the second son of the Minister of Personnel had married, had eight concubines, and his wife was deceased. He spent his days in debauchery, not doing his duty. I don't want to marry such a man. But Grandpa knew I loved Cousin Xiao, yet he insisted I marry my eldest cousin. I treated him as my brother, and he was already 19, five years older than me, and he already had a wife. Why did Grandpa and Aunt insist I marry him? No matter how angry Fang Miaoru was, or how unwilling she was, she had to follow him back to the capital. In this era where filial piety was paramount, even in the secluded backyard of a mansion, if she dared to disobey, she would be forced to accept the fate of marrying a fool at the behest of her parents or the matchmaker. Several illegitimate sisters had become victims of profit.

Back at the palace, the Ministry of Works had produced a curved-beam plow and reported it to the Emperor. The Emperor sent a young eunuch to convey his order, requesting that the Third Young Master Feng accompany them to the imperial farm to test its effectiveness. The Emperor, along with the Minister of Agriculture, the Ministry of Works, and the Ministry of Revenue, arrived at the farm and, observing the prepared oxen, Minister Feng Mojun and the tenant farmers at the farm harnessed the curved-beam plow. Feng Mojun was the first to do so, followed by the Minister of Agriculture and Mr. Liang from the Ministry of Works. The Minister of Agriculture and Mr. Liang were both from the same class of humble students who had been admitted to the Ministry of Works, as diligence and hard work were valued in the modern era. Together, they tried it out in the fields. They found it easy to lift and pull, and the oxen looked effortless. The Emperor also wanted to try it out, but the other officials tried to stop him, saying, "How could a man of his wealth undertake such labor?" The Emperor replied, "I'm trying it out for my people first. Only then can we understand how difficult farming was for them in the past." The Emperor then ordered several people to use the plow to see the difference between the two. Several people dared not disobey. The emperor was using a curved plow, while several adults were using ordinary plows. When the emperor came back after plowing a circle, they had not even walked halfway. At this moment, everyone could see the difference, and this was the difference in strength.

The emperor brought his men back to the palace and ordered someone to draft an edict, requiring government offices across the country to make curved plows for sale, but not to charge exorbitant prices or accept excessive gifts. The price was 100 coins per set, and he told the villagers to work hard to reclaim wasteland, and that if they could, they would be exempt from taxes for three years.

Another commendation was given to Bai Siyu, daughter of Bai Qingyuan from Baijia Village, Liping County, Qingzhou Prefecture, for her contribution of the blueprints. She was awarded 2000 taels of silver.

2 pieces of soft smoke silk, 5 pieces of Sichuan cotton, 5 pieces of plain cotton, 5 pieces of Yun cotton. A pair of gold-inlaid jade hairpins with tourmaline, a pair of dragonfly and peony hairpins, and a pair of wintersweet hairpins with kingfisher feathers, coral, and wintersweet.

The eunuch carrying the imperial edict departed. Hu, the chief steward, instructed his godson, Xiao Zhuozi, to be polite when he arrived, asking where the Third Prince was. Xiao Zhuozi complied and departed. Feng Mojun wanted to go with him, but the emperor detained him to investigate the illegal salt trade in Jiangnan. Feng Mojun had no choice but to wait for the chance to see this so-called little girl again.

As for Siyu, she didn't know that her drawings had been submitted to the emperor, and that the trial was successful and the reward had been given.

And what is she doing now? She is refining strong liquor. The kitchen is full of smoke. If you don't know, you might think it's on fire. When you go inside, you will see that this guy is distilling white liquor in a big pot. His strong alcohol has been refined. After leaving the kitchen, Siyu takes Zhou Tingxuan to check on his bean sprouts, which can be sold. He also looks at his wood ear mushrooms, which have grown, although they are a little small. They can be picked in another month. Siyu feels very accomplished. The only thing left is to make compost on the wasteland and build a house. The foundation of the house is halfway up, and everything is going smoothly. What worries Siyu is that the wasteland has blossomed. After the compost is fermented, what should I plant? There is no water for planting rice, and it is the wrong season for planting wheat, and there is no long-term water supply. This kind of sorghum has a poor harvest. I will go to the seed shop tomorrow to see if there are any rare seeds.
