Chapter 267: Your Majesty is Wise
Emperor Yongshun said to Zheng Sisi, "Sisi, please introduce these two new farm tools to everyone."
"Farm tool, what kind of farm tool is this? It's so big, what can it be used for?"
“It’s so huge, and it can be used better than manual labor.”
"........."
Many ministers were whispering, some were laughing at Zheng Sisi, and of course there were also a few who were Zheng Sisi's loyal supporters.
Duke Zheng and his son, the two ministers, and Censor Cao were all supporters. They didn't say anything, but they all believed that Princess Anping could bring surprises to everyone.
Zheng Sisi saw that everyone was talking about it, but she didn't explain because the experiment would let them see the results.
The third prince ordered two guards to pour a basket of rice mixed with bran into the windmill.
Zheng Sisi placed two empty baskets at the two exits respectively, then went to the handle, turned on the switch and cranked the handle, and the rice was processed by the wind and flowed out from the two exits respectively.
Everyone stared at the two exits and saw the rice with chaff and grass leaves that had just been poured in being separated out. No one could believe it. Several people in the Sinong Temple leaned over to the basket at Zheng Sisi's feet and grabbed a handful of the separated rice with their hands.
"So clean." Several people looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes.
Zheng Sisi turned off the switch and asked, "Are you satisfied?"
A few people nodded in confusion, turned to the other side and grabbed a handful, this time it was all chaff and unfilled rice grains. The tail was full of weeds and dust.
Zheng Sisi added: "Does anyone want to come and experience it?"
Emperor Yongshun was the first to express his opinion: "I, I will give it a try, I will give it a try."
Zheng Sisi gave up her position and stood beside to instruct: "This is the handle. Shake the handle to make the fan blades inside rotate to generate wind and separate the rice from other things.
This is the switch of the bucket. Put the switch down and the rice that needs to be separated will flow down. Your Majesty, please try it. "
Emperor Yongshun did as he was told, and soon the full rice flowed into the basket. Emperor Yongshun shook the basket for a while, and the rice in the basket was gone.
The third prince then ordered the guards to pour a basket of rice into the bucket.
Emperor Yongshun stopped and laughed: "Hahaha, what kind of valley windmill is this? It's simply a magical tool. You said it's more than ten times that of manual labor. I think it's possible to be a hundred times."
"Let me try it too." Everyone in Sinong Temple rushed to try it. They shook the handle in their hands and separated the rice and debris so easily. Several people laughed happily.
The few people who didn't believe it just now also tried it, and found that they could separate the rice very easily just as everyone said.
Zheng Sisi then directed the guards to test the thresher with straw stalks, and the results were also very good.
The chief minister of the Sinong Temple said, "Your Majesty, Princess Anping has brought a magical tool for the people of the world. With this thresher and windmill, we can save a lot of manpower and everyone's autumn harvest will be much faster."
"Yes! Yes! This is good news for people all over the world!"
"The county magistrate of Anping first tried to grow double-season rice, and now he has designed such a magical agricultural tool. Anping really deserves the title!"
"Yes, with food and military supplies, we will have the strength to calm the people and pacify the world. Your Majesty is wise!"
"The Emperor has a keen eye for talent and has discovered the extraordinary talent of Princess Anping!"
The ministers all knelt and shouted: "Congratulations to the Emperor, congratulations to the Emperor, you have a good eye for identifying a pearl, and the country will prosper!"
Emperor Yongshun laughed loudly: "My dear ministers, please stand up! Hahahaha!"
After all the ministers stood up, Emperor Yongshun asked, "My dear ministers, I have found this rare talent. Do you have any objections to exempting her from the kneeling ceremony?"
Everyone looked at each other and said in unison: "Your Majesty is wise, we will review the matter!"
