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

Village Chief Yang was an outsider after all, and could only talk about what he saw on the surface. Bai Qingyun was different, and he broke down the labor-saving principle of the pedals and circular rollers and explained it to County Magistrate Zhu.

County Magistrate Zhu only understood half of what Bai Qingyun said at first, but as Bai Qingyun's explanation became more and more detailed, he became fascinated and just wanted to finish the meal quickly and go see the thresher.

As for the deliciousness of the meal, it pales in comparison to County Magistrate Zhu.

After lunch, Yang Dashan and his group went to the old carpenter’s house and carried the thresher to the open space for drying the grain.

The open space is filled with rice harvested by various families these days. The rich aroma of rice straw fills the air, making one feel even better.

With the cooperation of the two carpenters, the final step of the threshing machine was completed.

Bai Qingyun was like cutting a ribbon, until County Magistrate Zhu stepped on the pedal, and the yamen runner next to him took a bundle of rice and handed it to County Magistrate Zhu. As the roller turned, the rice grains fell off quickly and landed on the ground.

The crowd was not in a hurry to go to the fields at this moment. They gathered in the open space and watched the thresher turning rapidly. The flying rice grains were vaguely imprinted with people's smiling faces.

After all, County Magistrate Zhu was an official, and his physical strength was not as good as that of farmers who often went to the fields. After threshing a few bundles of rice, his strength began to decline, so he had to give up.

He stood there to take a deep breath, and then said to Bai's father: "Brother Bai, you have a good daughter! It's great to have such a daughter! Great!"

He waved at Bai Qingyun and waited for Bai Qingyun to come in: "Qingyun, your idea is great. With this thresher, the pressure of the busy farming season will be reduced a lot. Logically, the thresher should be reported before being promoted, but the busy farming season is approaching, and earlier promotion means earlier harvest. Now the border is unstable and the army is short of food and grass, so earlier harvesting food means earlier delivery to the border!"

Bai Qingyun said quickly: "Your Excellency is far-sighted. I just gave you some ideas. You can decide what to do!"

Magistrate Zhu's digression was not difficult to understand. Due to the limitations of the way information was disseminated, it was not known how long it would take for the higher authorities to approve the bonus for Bai Qingyun's invention. However, the border officials could not wait, so they had to make a decision in an emergency and had to inconvenience Bai Qingyun.

But Bai Qingyun did not feel wronged. County Magistrate Zhu was not a corrupt official, and it was only a matter of time before he got the bonus. What's more, the reason was the lives of many soldiers on the border. Influenced by patriotism for many years, Bai Qingyun understood the truth that a country comes before a home, so there was no reason for him to refuse.

Magistrate Zhu did not dare to delay and hurried back to the county government with the carpenter and the blueprint. The carpenter in the village was also taken to the county. Magistrate Zhu wanted to promote the thresher throughout the county, so he needed to know the master who made it. Obviously, the carpenter in Dayang Village was the best choice as the first-hand producer.

Carpenter Yang's original name was Yang Linsheng. He was born and raised in Dayang Village. He had two daughters. The eldest daughter had married in a neighboring county, far away from home. She could only visit her parents during the Chinese New Year.

Carpenter Yang had always wanted to have a son to continue his family lineage, but his daughters either died of illness or his sons died young. When his youngest daughter was born, Carpenter Yang was old and his wife had given birth to many children and her health was not as good as before, so they gave up the idea of ​​having a son.

Bai Qingyun still vaguely remembered that in his previous life, when fleeing from famine, Carpenter Yang's wife died before she could escape far because of her weak body. Carpenter Yang was reluctant to leave her hometown after her death, so he brought the body back home. At that time, Dayang Village was already in ruins. No matter where the rebel army, robbers, and thieves went, they burned, killed, and looted as if they were in an uninhabited place. You don't need to think about it to know how miserable the final outcome of this family will be!

Carpenter Yang's youngest daughter is called Yang Muwan, who is only one year older than Bai Qingyun. Carpenter Yang is the only male in the family, and they usually make a living by relying on carpenter work done by him.

But Yang Muwan was smart and sensible. She would always help her father when she saw that his work was not easy. In the summer, when selling the magic tofu, she would boldly push the cart to the places where children played in the town to sell it. She could sell two large buckets of the magic tofu every day, and the family gradually had some extra money.

This time, Carpenter Yang followed Magistrate Zhu to travel around the county to make threshers, and they also traveled around everywhere. It was not convenient for Yang Muwan to go with them, so she could only help her mother pack Carpenter Yang's luggage. She made a lot of cakes for them to eat on the road, and also carefully put some loose change in it.

This time, working with the people from the yamen, Carpenter Yang should be able to earn a small amount of income. As the gears of fate turn, the fate of the family will also change invisibly, Bai Qingyun thought.

The thresher in Dayang Village was managed by Village Chief Yang, and each household in Dayang Village took turns using it. Because the thresher was designed by Bai Qingyun, and the Bai family had little land and had harvested all the rice, they became the number one user of the thresher.

Afterwards, each family used it in turn according to the speed of harvesting rice. After listening to the arrangement, no one was dissatisfied, and they all went home to get the newly ordered sickles and went to work in the fields.

The three brothers of the Bai family were also surprised to see the thresher. They took turns threshing the rice, while the others were responsible for collecting the straw and drying the rice. The whole family was busy and lively.

With the help of the thresher, the rice from two mu of land was dried in less than an afternoon. The three brothers still felt unsatisfied, and Carpenter Yang happened to be away from home, so they picked up the rice from the carpenter's house next door and prepared to continue working.

Yang Muwan, who happened to be pushing a cart of rice, came to the open space. Looking at the people who were helping her with her rice, she said gratefully, "Thank you, Brother Bai, Brother Bai No. 1, and Brother Bai No. 3!"

After thanking him gratefully, he looked at Bai Qingyun who was helping him and said embarrassedly, "Sister Qingyun, can you teach me how to use this thresher?"

Carpenter Yang would probably be away for a long time. By the time he came back to deal with these things, the grain tax would have passed. Everyone's attention was focused on the thresher, and they ignored this situation. Bai Qingyun figured this out, and smiled at Yang Muwan in a brisk tone: "Of course, no problem. This is very easy to use. I'll teach you and I guarantee you'll learn it in no time!"

Looking at the smile that was spreading freely in the sunshine, Yang Muwan felt a sudden yearning in her heart. How great it would be if she could be like Sister Qingyun one day!

It is not difficult to learn how to use the thresher. It only took a short while for the cart of rice to be threshed. Yang Muwan then reluctantly pushed the cart away.

This year, the autumn harvest in Dayang Village ended faster than in previous years. The sickles accelerated the harvesting process, and the threshers also accelerated the threshing process. Because the sun was strong at this time, the millet exposed to the sun in the open space could be dried in a few days. Village chief Yang counted the amount of grain that each household should pay tax, and borrowed several ox carts in the village to transport it to the county government.
