Quick Travel: The Story of Your Highness's Pampering of Her Husband

The next day, when Xiao Yi woke up, he saw the little girl sitting next to the bed. She was very cute.

After a few seconds, as if he had realized something, he stood up suddenly and asked in a low voice and eagerly: "Xixi, didn't you go back last night? Then the Wang family and his wife must not come to you to make trouble?"

Xuanyuan Xi smiled and replied, "Fool, of course I went back, I'm just here again."

Heaving a sigh of relief, Xiao Yi started to get up and put on clothes. When he moved, he realized that his body was not sore at all.He looked at his lover in surprise, "Xixi, you are so awesome. I don't feel uncomfortable at all now."

After saying that, he looked at his bandaged hands and continued with a guilty feeling: "I'm sorry, Xixi, you take so much trouble to take care of me, but I have to work in the fields with Ji's family these days, so I don't have time. Accompany you."

Xuanyuan Xi laughed after hearing this, "Don't even look at it. The sun is shining on your buttocks. The Ji family has already been busy with their work."

"Ah? It's all my fault, I overslept!" Xiao Yi glanced out the window and saw that it was indeed bright. He quickly speeded up his movements.

Seeing the young man's panic, Xuanyuan Xi said, "Don't worry, I've already told the Ji family that you don't have to work these days."

Hearing this, Xiao Yi immediately turned around and looked at her lover with disapproval.

Before he could speak, Xuanyuan Xi continued: "I told them that you suddenly had the inspiration and wanted to stay at home and improve farm tools."

The question that Xiao Yi was about to say turned into a "Huh?"

"The two of us are too young now and have no background. We also have an uncle who is the enemy of the county magistrate. If we take too much credit, we can easily be plotted and shot. So, my original plan was, After you take the county examination next year and gain the title of scholar, I will create improved farm tools by your hands."

"You are an eight-year-old scholar, a young talent, and you must have a good reputation. Only in this way will those people with ill intentions dare not attack you easily."

Secretly standing on tiptoes, Xuanyuan Xi patted the top of the young man's hair and added earnestly: "But who told me to feel sorry for you? I can't bear to see you suffer, so I have to change my plan and build some improved farm tools now. It is for the people's livelihood. The big plan can also save the Ji family time and effort, do you agree with Xiao Yi'er?"

Xiao Yi is not a fool. He is just a child, and he only helps the Ji family a little bit despite working so hard.But if improved farm tools are made, then the Ji family will truly be relieved of their burden.

Moreover, it was a major event that would benefit all people and help Xixi complete her main mission. Of course, he had no objection.

They did as they were told, and after washing up and eating the breakfast specially left for him by Ji's family, Xiao Yi and Xuanyuan Xi lay on the desk, one after another, drawing farm tools that might be used.

Combining the current level of craftsmanship and carpentry conditions, the two made a selection and finally left the drawings of three farm tools: a thresher, a stone mill and an improved curved shaft plow. Xiao Yi then copied them over and marked them on the drawings. All the calculated data and Xuanyuan Xi's notes were destroyed.

When the Ji family came back for dinner at noon, Xiao Yi took the drawings of the threshing machine and went to Grandpa Ji who was sitting in the main room to rest, and explained to him in detail the working principle of the machine.

Xuanyuan Xi stood quietly and listened, feeling that her lover's serious appearance was so handsome.

The basic principle of the threshing machine is to drive the pedal by foot, hand crank or hydraulic and wind power to make it perform reciprocating circular motion, and rotate the drum through the connected levers and gears. When the wooden teeth on the drum run at high speed, the grains Falling off the rice ears.

The old man was an old man in farming. He understood the beauty of this thing as soon as he heard it. He didn't even eat anymore, so he took his grandson to find the village chief.

Xiao Yi didn't find Grandpa Ji so impatient. He only had time to look back at Xuanyuan Xi and was dragged out of the door without saying a word.

Xuanyuan Xi: "..."

Hey, old man, is there someone else here?Can you see it?

The village chief and his family were having dinner, but they didn't expect anyone to come to the door at this time.

After he went out and saw who was coming, he smiled and joked, "Old man Ji, why did you drag your grandson to my place instead of staying at home for dinner? You're still so angry."

Village Chief Wang is about the same age as Mr. Ji, and he speaks more casually.

Grandpa Ji ignored the village chief's joke and pulled Xiao Yi forward, asking him to explain the drawing to the village chief again.

The village chief originally just listened casually for the sake of his old friend, but gradually his expression became serious and he began to listen to Xiao Yi's explanation seriously.

After Xiao Yi finished speaking, he patted the young man on the shoulder and sighed with a hint of pride in his tone: "Since ancient times, heroes have emerged from the young. Boy Chen Yi, well done!"

Nowadays, farmers all thresh by hand. It takes both arms to knock down the rice ears from an acre of land. Now that there is this kind of foot-operated threshing machine, I wonder how much energy can be saved!

The village chief called out his sons and asked them to call some people, and then took the Ji family's grandfather and grandson into the house to sit down and drink some water to cool down.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the only carpenter in the village and several elders of the Wang clan gathered at the village chief's house.

The old patriarch of the Wang family was one generation older than the village chief. As a representative, he first asked, "Every family is rushing to harvest. Did the village chief gather us because something big happened?"

Village Chief Wang smiled with his old face full of wrinkles, and then pushed Xiao Yi out.

Xiao Yi: "..."

Okay, one more, two more, three more!

He explained it again in front of everyone.

"Chen Yi also couldn't bear the hard work of his elders, but he was too young and weak to do it with his own body, so he came up with this method. Not only can it save labor, but it doesn't require too much effort, and it can be operated by women and children."

Carpenter Wang took a look at the drawing and saw that each component was clear and the data was sufficient. He didn't need to think too much and could just make it according to the script.

This is the result of a whole morning of improvement by Xiao Yi and Xuanyuan Xi.

Because the imperial court strictly controlled iron, many iron parts needed to be replaced with wood. However, the wood should not be made too thin, otherwise it would not be able to withstand breakage. Therefore, this threshing machine is more simple than simple. A finished product made of compromise after compromise.

When Carpenter Wang expressed his thoughts after reading the drawings, everyone present became excited.

It's simple and easy to make, which means it's cheap. If you work faster, you might be able to use it in the next two days. They all thought that this thing would have to wait until next year to use it.
