Yuwen Longyan held a large sickle and a small sickle, his eyes narrowed slightly, his expression serious, and he seemed to be thinking deeply.
Lin Yuelan didn't bother him.
After a while, Yuwen Longyan asked, "How does this work?"
Lin Yuelan took out a small sickle from the basket, went down to the field, bent over, and said, "First hold a rice straw in her left hand, the small sickle is slightly tilted to the left, and then cut down on the place under her hand, remember, this small The sickle is very sharp, so it doesn't take too much force!"
After Eunuch Zhang fell in the field, Lin Yuelan asked him to go back and change his clothes, but he refused.
It is normal for people in the field to have water and cement on their bodies.
Now that he has come down with His Majesty, he will not be hypocritical.
Eunuch Zhang and Yuwen Longyan followed the example of Lin Yuelan and bent over to cut the rice.
It's just that the two of them are pampered characters, and when they went down, they were cut a small wound by Inaba.
Eunuch Zhang's eyes widened, and he immediately shouted in fright, "Your Majesty... Master!"
Yuwen Longyan stared sharply at Eunuch Zhang who was yelling, and scolded again, "Steward Zhang, if you make such a fuss, go back to me!"
The so-called go back is to have someone send him back to the capital.
Eunuch Zhang immediately silenced, and then said carefully, "But, sir, the injury on your hand..."
That's a dragon body.
When has your majesty been injured and shed dragon blood?
So, he was worried and didn't know why.
Yuwen Longyan frowned slightly, looked at the wound on the back of his hand, and then looked at the traces on the hands of these workers, adding some new scars.
He said immediately, "No problem!"
These peasants can take this little injury, but why can't he take it?
Lin Yuelan and Jiang Zhennan frowned slightly when they looked at the wound on the old emperor's arm.
Maybe it doesn't matter if others suffer this little injury, but after all, this is the king of a country, and he has never been injured or suffered.
Jiang Zhennan glanced at Lin Yuelan, and then hesitantly said to Yuwen Longyan, "Master Wen, do you want to deal with the wound first?"
Yuwen Longyan waved his hand and said immediately, "No problem! When I was young, I traveled around the country and experienced major injuries and minor injuries, not just these minor injuries. Therefore, these injuries are no big deal."
Hearing what His Majesty said, Jiang Zhennan remembered that when His Majesty was young, he had been on the battlefield, killed the enemy, and had wounds all over his body.
So, for such a small wound, it's really no big deal.
Jiang Zhennan first nodded slightly to Lin Yuelan, then shook his head.
Lin Yuelan nodded, and then she smiled, "Grandpa Wen, why don't you do this? I'll wrap your hand with gauze a little bit, so as to prevent the rice leaves from being cut on your hands again."
Yuwen Longyan did not refuse.
Although it is a small injury, but one or two dozens of them are down, it may be a hand injury, and it will be worrying.
Lin Yuelan bandaged Yuwen Longyan's entire hands, but it did not affect the movement of her fingers.
Just looking at Eunuch Zhang's eyes, Lin Yuelan was speechless.
Then, he also bandaged Eunuch Zhang's hands.
Eunuch Zhang said gratefully and excitedly, "Thank you Miss Lin!"
Everyone in Lin Jiayuan called Lin Yuelan "Master", and the elders generally called him "Girl or Lan Girl". As for the guests or their servants, they all called her "Lin Girl"!
Although Eunuch Zhang was a person by the emperor's side, he was also just a servant.
However, Lin Yuelan still took good care of the old man. She shook her head and persuaded, "Butler Zhang, why don't you take a rest on the ridge?"
Eunuch Zhang was immediately taken aback and said, "Miss Lin, no!"
There is no reason why the master works and the slaves rest.
No matter what, he has to work with His Majesty.
Lin Yuelan also knew that these ancients had a serious concept of hierarchy, so she didn't persuade them, just let him go down to the field to cut a piece of rice.
Yuwen Longyan tried both kinds of sickles, and after a while, he really felt that the small sickle was much easier to use than the sickle.
First of all, it is small in size and less important, and it is much easier for people to hold it without too much force.
Secondly, its teeth are sharp, and when a knife goes down, a whole straw of rice is cut off. The scythe looks sharp, but it is not strong, and it takes two or three times before it can be completely cut off. In the end, it is really inconvenient to hold the scythe to cut rice, and it will make people very tired after a while.
Yuwen was very surprised by the small sickle, and at the same time was still excited.
If this kind of small sickle is popularized across the country, then those peasants will not have a lot of trouble.
Yuwen Longyan looked at a small sickle, and then asked, "Girl, this small sickle..."
Lin Yuelan said, "Grandpa Wen, this little sickle was something I had to come up with to make it easier to cut rice."
Yuwen Longyan immediately smiled and said with interest, "Oh, so, you really made this thing. Alright, alright, girl, you are really smart!"
Lin Yuelan said very modestly, "Grandpa Wen, you praised me!"
Yuwen Longyan stood in the field, and then found a dozen big buckets, which were carried over.
He asked curiously, "Girl, what is that big bucket that turned over?"
A person in front was holding what looked like a head on his shoulders, and a person in the back was holding his **** on his shoulders.
Lin Yuelan said, "That's a threshing machine!"
When he heard that this kind of thing was a threshing machine, Yuwen Longyan was not only curious, but surprised.
This threshing machine, its invention and function, has long been reported.
I only know that the appearance of this kind of thing really benefits the peasants and people, saving time, effort and worry.
It is much more convenient than threshing millet artificially, and it can also compete with God for rice.
Otherwise, mature rice and artificial threshing will take several days for several acres of land, but if the weather changes in the past few days, then whether it is recovered or not recovered, it is very likely because of rainy weather. , while sprouting moldy and rotten.
But with this kind of threshing machine, as long as there are some people in the family, it doesn't matter how many acres of land a day is collected.
After the millet is taken back, you can concentrate on watching the sky guard the millet, and you don't need to worry about the millet not being taken back in time because it is going to rain.
The peasants in the countryside can all live their lives by looking at the sky.
Therefore, the emergence of the threshing machine is simply a miracle.
This miracle happened during his reign.
The emperor was originally standing in the field, but when the threshing machine was getting closer and closer, he could not help walking up the field, wanting to get closer to the threshing machine.
Eunuch Zhang put down his scythe and stood beside the emperor.
This field is stumbling and stumbling, but don't fall accidentally, he has to watch it.
Eunuch Zhang didn't know anything about threshing machines, but seeing the shocked look on the emperor's face when he saw this thing, he knew that this thing was extraordinary.
He whispered, "Master, be careful!"
More than a dozen threshing machines were carried to every place where people were harvesting rice.
Soon, the threshing machine that Lin Yuelan and the others were standing at was delivered.
Followed by Lin Deshan and Doctor Zhang.
The two looked at Yuwen Longyan, who was a little embarrassed in the lower field, and immediately asked in surprise, "Brother Wen, are you alright?"
Yuwen Longyan raised his hand and said, "Two brothers, don't worry, I'm fine!"
After the threshing machine was put down, he approached, looked around the threshing machine, and then touched it with his hand.
Then I saw the structure of this threshing machine.
After a while, he asked, "Girl, how do you use this threshing machine?" His tone was obviously eager and eager.
Lin Yuelan sighed secretly, "This old emperor is indeed a good emperor!" Therefore, there is nothing to embarrass him.
She introduced it the same way, "Grandpa Wen, this is the axle, one large and one small, which needs kerosene lubrication, this is the roller and shaft, this is the bucket, this is the bucket cover, this is the pedal. This foot is placed on the foot. On the pedal, step on it with force, and then drive the axle and roller, hold a handful of rice in your hand, put it in this roller and stir it, and the rice will leak into the bucket!"
Listening to Lin Yuelan's explanation, Yuwen Longyan nodded with a vague understanding, but in principle, he still didn't understand a lot.
However, he didn't need to understand that.
Soon, he said with an impatient expression, "That girl, let's start threshing millet!"
As he spoke, he stood in the middle of the threshing machine, and it seemed that he was going to thresh the grain himself.
Lin Yuelan smiled and said, "Grandpa Wen, you can't stand in the middle like this. This requires two to three stampedes at the same time, which saves effort and is efficient!"
After speaking, Lin Yuelan nodded to Jiang Zhennan.
As soon as the threshing machine arrives, it is put down and installed.
Jiang Zhennan stepped on the pedals when he walked, and said to Yuwen Longyan, "Master Wen, go over a little bit!"
Looking at the expressionless love general, Yuwen Longyan stood on the other side obediently.
Then, immediately, he heard a "humming" sound.
Yuwen Longyan saw that it was Jiang Zhennan who stepped on the sound of the threshing machine, and suddenly said to Jiang Zhennan angrily, "Boy Nan, don't you know to notify me when you start stepping on it?"
Hearing the sudden sound, he was obviously startled.
Jiang Zhennan said, "You just follow!" He didn't explain anything to him at all.
Fortunately, Yuwen Longyan knew that Jiang Zhennan was a boring gourd.
It's nice to be able to tell you that.
Yuwen Longyan also exerted force on his feet as the pedals went up and down.
He found that it really didn't take much effort.
Then, he turned his head and watched what Jiang Zhennan was doing.
He saw that Jiang Zhennan took a handful of rice from the hand of a person on the side, then put it in it, turned it over twice, and after a while, there was no grain on the ears of the rice, and it was clean.
Apparently they all fell into the bucket.
Yuwen Longyan took a bunch of rice from Lin Deshan's hand, but it was obviously much smaller than Jiang Zhennan's. He frowned slightly and said nothing.
Then, I put it in the heart of the roller and stirred it. I don't know if it was the first time I was unskilled, or I was too nervous. As a result, such a small piece of rice was not firmly tied, and the connecting rod and the millet were all stirred into the bucket.
For a while, Yuwen Longyan felt a little embarrassed.
Lin Deshan immediately comforted him and said, "Brother Wen, it's alright. It's the first time, most people do this. You grab the rice head pole, turn it inside the roller a few times, and then throw out the pole that stirred the millet! Just like Nanzi."
"Brother Wen, you don't have to worry, just take your time!" On the other side, Doctor Zhang, who was putting a pile of grain in the bag, comforted him.
Yuwen Longyan also knew that he was in a hurry just now, and after listening to their comfort, he immediately felt a little guilty in his heart.
The dignified king of a country, to be so nervous about such a trivial matter, is simply disgraceful to himself.
He quickly adjusted his mentality, watched Jiang Zhennan's movements, and then learned in a similar manner.
After a while, he was very skilled in picking up the rice and stirring it in the threshing machine.
Because Jiang Zhennan was stepping on it together, Jiang Zhennan had strength, so Yuwen Longyan didn't need much effort as long as he followed the movements of the pedals.
Soon, a few packets of millet were stirred up by the two of them.
Because the surrounding rice has been stirred, in order to save time and effort, the position of the threshing machine must be moved.
Yuwen Longyan followed the threshing machine curiously like a child.
When the threshing machine stopped, he stepped on it again.
Lin Deshan persuaded, "Brother Wen, you must have been tired just now, why don't you take a break. This time, switch to two people and alternate!" The first time I worked a lot, I'm sure my back will be sore tomorrow.
This is the first time for this old man to do this kind of farm work. He has been struggling like this, how can he bear it tomorrow.
Yuwen Longyan is playing like a child now, how could he stop and rest.
He waved his hand and said, "It's fine. I don't feel like it's taking much effort, and it doesn't matter if I do it again."
Hearing what he said, everyone immediately turned their attention to Jiang Zhennan.
Knowing that this is Jiang Zhennan's contribution, and Yuwen Longyan just put in a little effort.
That being the case, it didn't stop Yuwen Longyan from continuing to play.
Wu Ming looked at His Majesty the Emperor who was threshing grains on the threshing machine, and he was simply messed up in the wind.
The dignified king of a country is actually like a villager in the countryside. His body is covered in mud and water, and his body is dirty. This simply subverts his understanding of His Majesty.
He looked at His Majesty's delighted expression, and then looked at Lin Yuelan who was standing on the ridge. He walked over and asked secretly, "Miss Lin, won't you stop Master Wen?"
Although several people are well aware of Yuwen Longyan's identity, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, several people use his pseudonym.
Lin Yuelan glanced at the person, then rolled her eyes a little indecently, and asked angrily, "You don't understand the temper of your uncle? Do you think I'm a little girl who can stop him?"
Wu Ming blushed instantly and said, "But if you want to stop it, you may not be able to stop it."
Lin Yuelan immediately laughed, "Why did this girl turn down the labor force sent to the door?"
Wu Ming, "..." She really dared to say it.
