After rebirth, I went from a peasant girl to the richest man

"Bai girl, this thing is so labor-saving!"

After Aunt Niu finished plowing a furrow of land, the people watching around her hurried to take over, and only then did she have time to chat with Bai Qingyun.

"Yes, Aunt Niu, once everyone in our village uses this thing, we can catch up with the spring ploughing season!"

The land for the experiment had just belonged to Carpenter Yang. As Carpenter Yang planned to continue his carpentry work, he only bought two acres of thin land as he did in the beginning.

"Bai girl, this is just like a threshing machine. You can also report it to the government. Maybe you can even get a reward!"

"Don't worry, let's wait until we make a few more in the village!"

Now is the time to race against time. It would take more time to talk to people from the yamen, so it would be better to just focus on getting the job done first.

"Yes, yes, yes. Last time, our village hadn't used up the threshing machine yet, and several neighboring villages wanted to borrow it. It was more like robbing than borrowing. It was Brother Daming who drove them away with all his talents!"

When it comes to threshing machines, Bai Qingyun wanted to promote them as quickly as possible, but what was the final result?

Carpenter Yang, under the instruction of County Magistrate Zhu, took the county's carpenters to speed up the work and even went to the village in person to provide guidance. When he met the villagers, he sometimes was reluctant to even make an extra bowl of lunch, so everyone had to continue working on an empty stomach.

After going through the whole process, Carpenter Yang actually lost a lot of weight.

The next day, when the people in the neighboring village heard the news, they wanted to seize the threshing machines regardless of the threshing progress of the people in Dayang Village, and many conflicts occurred over this.

Although Bai Qingyun did not participate in these things personally, he heard a lot about them afterwards.

No matter what Wen Zhao did this time, Bai Qingyun had no intention of reporting it easily.

"Uncle Lin, go home and make a few more of these..."

"Curved plow!" Bai Qingyun added quickly.

"Yes, Quyuanli! What a nice name!"

"Uncle Lin, go home and do it. I can plow these two acres of land for you today!"

It may take five to ten days to manually plow an acre of land. Not only is the work tiring, but the plowed land is not loose enough, which affects the growth of crops.

The efficiency of plowing with a curved plow is visibly fast. According to everyone's speed, it is estimated that one acre of land can be plowed in one morning.

Village chief Yang heard the news and arrived late, but he had already heard about this rare thing on the way.

It would be a lie to say I wasn't excited. The cane my son gave me was shaking slightly in my hands.

In just a short while, everyone realized that the efficiency of this curved plow was much faster than before.

"Mr. Lin, how long does it take to make a curved plow?"

When Village Chief Yang saw Yang Linsheng being pushed by excited villagers, he quickly spoke out to rescue him.

Carpenter Yang straightened his collar, which had been grabbed by someone, and looked at Bai Qingyun.

After receiving Bai Qingyun's hint, he replied: "Village Chief, this thing is easy to make, and most of it is made of wood."

The thing that is most in short supply in the village is wood. When needed, people just go up the mountain to chop some.

What's more, if the villagers of Dayang Village work together to cut wood, they will soon be able to cut enough wood.

"But..." Carpenter Yang looked at the curved plow that was plowing the field with some hesitation.

Just after plowing a furrow of land, the things buried in the soil appeared.

“It’s just that this main plowing ground is the most difficult!”

A curved plow requires even more iron than a thresher!

"Village chief, let's go cut down some trees and help polish the wood. I'll think of a way to fix the iron!"

Bai Qingyun stood next to Village Chief Yang and spoke in a low voice.

Although the key to plowing the land with a curved plow is the iron sheet, most of the structure is made of wood, and the demand for it is also very large.

If we want to save time, the whole village has to go out together.

It is difficult to start building houses at the same time. The Bai family was the first to build a house in the village. Although other families were busy, they only needed to work on the fields.

If the Bai family was busy before, now that Bai Qingyun and Carpenter Yang have made the curved plow, the whole village has become busy.

Just as everyone was busy going up the mountain, Bai Qingyun handed Xiao Yan to Xie Shuer and went to find Twelve alone.

Twelve has been busy since everyone in Dayang Village was settled and is rarely seen.

Bai Qingyun had no choice but to ride to the provincial capital to find her.

It was considered good luck that after the horse ran two miles, he met An Twelve who was riding back.

Compared to Twelve who only held a sword in his hand in the past, there is now an extra baggage on the horse.

Bai Qingyun rode forward and asked: "Have you decided on the day of departure?"

Twelve looked at Bai Qingyun deeply and said, "If possible, let's set off today!"

"So you're coming back to say goodbye?"

Twelve was indeed a good secret guard. Apart from the test at the Bai family on the first night, the two of them did not get along like master and servant in the following time.

Twelve claimed that he was much older than Bai Qingyun and had taught her some skills, so he was considered half of Bai Qingyun's master. However, they had not gone through the apprenticeship ceremony, so these could not be made public.

After all, her duties as a secret guard require her to stay in the dark forever.

The days of escorting Bai Qingyun were the days when I lived in the sunshine.

But now, she has to go back to her old life.

Why else could this man come back with the baggage except to say goodbye?

Realizing that his question was somewhat redundant, Bai Qingyun immediately changed the subject.

"Have you received any letter from the princess recently?"

Twelve looked at Bai Qingyun riding his horse towards the city. He was about to ask a question but then he thought of something and gave up.

"The princess wrote to say that she has successfully left Bingzhou and is now on her way back to the capital!"

No wonder Twelve is also in a hurry to go back!

The situation in the capital will only be more complicated than that in Bingzhou.

"In that case, don't go back to Dayang Village. Let's say goodbye now!"

Everyone was racing against time, and the greetings back and forth took a long time.

In addition, Bai's father and mother went to several neighboring villages to recruit people, and it was unknown when they would be back. It would be difficult for Twelve to find anyone even if he went back.

"Before you go back, help me do something in Jiangzhou City!"

While speaking, Bai Qingyun handed the plowshare he had drawn in advance to Twelve.

"This is made of iron and used for plowing. When paired with a curved plow, it is much more efficient. However, the government has extremely strict control over iron..."

"Why doesn't Miss Bai go directly to see Prefect Wen?"

Bai Qingyun just smiled when he heard it, and took out two pieces of paper that had been prepared in the space with the cover of his sleeves.

"Here are the design drawings of the curved plow and the improved method of purifying salt. Give them to her when you meet her!"

Twelve didn't know what a curved plow was, but everyone knew the importance of salt!

Salt and iron are related to the foundation of the country, and salt tax is a major source of finance.

However, most of the salt taxes were controlled by wealthy families, and the national treasury received only a small portion of the revenue.

Bai Qingyun's move was truly a great gift to Wei Xi.

"Twelve will definitely live up to your trust!"

"Take care! Protect the princess!"

After all, she is the future of this country!
