He was the one who was wronged, and the emperor was unhappy and went to find Rong Yan again.

It's hard to tell that this unassuming son is actually a lover. He hasn't asked about Rong Yan's life for many years. Now it's really hard to ask, so he only asked a few questions after a long time.

"What happened to the book that girl Xiao Ning bought?"

Rong Yan replied calmly: "I gave it to Master Shen."

He said: "My son is just about to report to his father that he plans to customize some ironware."

"It has nothing to do with weapons, it's just that I want to make more new farm tools."

The emperor raised his eyebrows, firstly because Rong Yan mentioned the word "weapon" so bluntly, and secondly because he was serious about making new farm tools.

Ironware was strictly controlled by the imperial court, but it would not be a big deal if it was used a little. He would specifically mention it to himself, thinking that he would make a lot of it.

For a moment, the emperor felt that he should have a good talk with his son about the principle of long-lasting love between children and short-lived heroes.

But Rong Yan said: "I made a batch before and Xiaoxiao gave it to her adoptive father. She said it could at least double the working efficiency."

The emperor doubted his ears: "How much do you say?"

Rong Yan repeated firmly: "Twice."

It's double, not 10%.

The emperor felt that this matter could not be ignored, so he decisively but happily decided to leave the palace incognito.

The place we went to was not far away, it was a piece of farmland on the outskirts of Beijing that Xiaoxiao bought and handed over to Ning Fengnian.

Most of the things grown in the fields are pragmatic. There are acres of rice fields planted with sweet potatoes and soybeans. Some seedlings are everywhere, and some are rocking in the wind. Each one is different and has its own characteristics.

The man who looked like Zhuangtou was explaining the use of new farm tools to the long-term workers. The emperor straightened his clothes and stepped forward to talk.

"Brother, what is this?"

Ning Fengnian, who had just arrived not long ago, didn't know the identity of the person in front of him, so he cheerfully replied: "Brother, I asked the right person. Now I am the only one in the whole capital who knows about it."

"This is called a curved shaft plow. Compared with the straight shaft plow we used in the past, it takes less effort to lift soil, is more flexible in turning, and is much more efficient!"

"This is a columbine. It is used to sow seeds. An ox pulls the columb and one person holds the columb. The seeds are contained in a columbine bucket. The columbine bucket is connected to the hollow columbine feet and moves while shaking. The seeds are planted from the bottom. It can complete trenching at the same time. There are three processes of planting, sowing, and soiling. Sowing three rows at a time, with the same row spacing, and even planting, which saves much time and effort than doing it ourselves."

"Besides, this is..."

Because he was so excited, Ning Fengnian didn't care about the stranger opposite him who had just spoken to him. When he mentioned the farm tools, he kept talking: "Did you see what's being set up by the river?"

"That's called a waterwheel. From now on, we'll rely on it to scoop water for irrigation. Brother, do you want to go over and have a look? That waterwheel can move by itself!"

The long-term worker on the side couldn't help but laugh: "Uncle Ning, are you planning to take everyone in the capital to see the waterwheel? How many of you are here?"

Ning Fengnian scratched his head, his honest face full of pride.

"It's a good thing, so of course it should be shown to everyone!"

The emperor asked with great interest: "Brother, aren't you afraid that others will steal your lessons?"

Ning Fengnian waved his hands openly and said: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, just go ahead and learn, but we are still afraid that people will not learn."

"Xiaoxiao said that if all the farmers in Daxia can use these new farm tools, it will be too late for her to be happy!"

"Did Princess Xiao Ning say that?"

"When I heard that the princess spent five hundred taels of silver to buy a used book, I thought she must have been deceived. I didn't expect that the five hundred taels would benefit all of us in the end. It's really worth every penny!"

Isn't it? The emperor was also in a happy mood and felt that it was not a big deal that his son liked this girl Xiao Ning.

She can cook, write poems, and be a good person. She is a very good wife here.

The emperor who returned to the palace was very satisfied with what he saw during his trip. He immediately approved the iron that Rong Yan wanted and actively urged it to be implemented as soon as possible. He also wanted to see the new farm tools distributed to more farmers as soon as possible.

Xiaoxiao finally succeeded in tricking Ning Fengnian and the Song family into the capital.

Thinking about it, both Ning Ansheng and Ning Anhui need to stay in the capital for a long time. It is really boring for them to stay in Fuyuan Village with their youngest son who is only a few months old.

Ning Fengnian cultivated the land and brought honor to his ancestors. He also felt that his life should not be limited to Fuyuan Village or Xijiang County. He wanted to see a bigger world, or, as his daughter said, plant more land. , harvest more grain, and become a better version of yourself.

Before they came to the capital, brothers Ning Ansheng and Ning Anhui had already prepared the residences for their parents and younger brothers. Of course, the help of Xiaoxiao and Rong Yan was indispensable.

Neither party is hypocritical. One party sincerely helps, and the other party accepts the kindness with peace of mind. The Ning family's house is not far from the General's Mansion. Although the couple feels that the house must be expensive, they have seen Ning Ansheng show them the shop. The bill, and then thinking about the convenience of being close to Xiaoxiao, I don't think it is unacceptable.

Thinking about the past, it was like a dream. I thought that I had to tighten my belt to eat glutinous rice. But now, no one in the family thinks it is inappropriate to build a yard in a land like Beijing where land is at a premium.

The emperor was a very pragmatic person. Ning Fengnian's contribution to the new rice was rewarded to the Ning family with practical things as much as possible. Therefore, although they are not as good as those wealthy households who have accumulated for generations, they do not need to spend money anymore. When the time comes, your hands and feet are tied up.

There are few people in the capital who are accustomed to flattering those who are superior and putting down those who are inferior, so some people come to visit under the guise of visiting, but in fact they come with some dark thoughts, ready to laugh at these country bumpkins to satisfy their ridiculous vanity.

In their opinion, even if the Ning family is lucky enough to win the favor of His Majesty the Emperor, the worst they can do is have some bad money. What the capital is most in need of is rich people. To put it bluntly, his family is just an upstart with a poor family background. Just a household.

The money is not that much, the family background is not at all, and the taste is even more...

As soon as the uninvited guests who were thinking about this entered the threshold, they saw pots of flowers and plants with suspicious identities in the yard.

The first thing the Ning family did after moving into their new home was to plant flowers and grass.

Xiaoxiao specially reminded them to bring the flowers and plants planted in the yard of their home in Fuyuan Village to the capital. They were protected by the space soil specially replaced by Xiaoxiao. Even after many days of bumps, they did not show any signs of sluggishness, and they were all in high spirits. .

Xiaoxiao didn't specifically tell the Ning family about their value, so in their opinion, these precious varieties that are valuable but not marketable are no different from the green vegetables and radishes in the yard.

Anyway, visitors saw them throwing strange chrysanthemums with flowers bigger than a child's hand on the ground. There were also many dried chrysanthemums that looked like them drying in the yard.

They swallowed their saliva and asked, "May I ask who these flowers are?"

Mrs. Song, who has become much plumper after giving birth, smiled and replied: "It happened by chance. The child said it would look good in the yard and make tea delicious, so I kept planting it."

"Mom, what should I do with this?"

As he was talking, Ning An, who couldn't sit still in the room, held up two radish-like things: "My sister said that we can't grow this by ourselves, so we need to deal with it more quickly."
