The draft went on step by step, and the show girls from all over the country arrived one after another, and on September 20, the first selection was carried out.

This selection is actually the first step of screening conducted by internal supervisors and female officials, commonly known as primary selection. After the election, a period of intensive training will be conducted, and then the general election will be held, mainly the queen and concubines will be picked, and Emperor Ming Yan will generally not go.

And Wu Fangzi also passed the primary election, came back to pack up his things and prepare to enter the palace, who knew that the carriage was worthy of the front of the house, but saw Yan Shitu waiting on horseback, and when he saw the carriage coming, he jumped off the horse and stopped in front of the road to salute.

The coachman stopped, Yan Shitu hurriedly walked to the window, and said in a low voice: "Little lady, take the liberty, I'll make a long story short." I am Yan Shidi, the third son of Yan Chengyuan, if you are interested, I can ask the emperor to marry. ”

There was silence in the carriage.

After a while, Yan Shi became anxious and begged: "Little lady? Little lady, can you answer me? ”

The car window slowly opened, revealing Wu Fangzi's beautiful face, her eyebrows and eyes flew slantedly, and she said shyly: "Who wants to marry you, I won't marry!" ”

Yan Shidi's face was red when she looked at her, especially when she usually saw her bright and hearty, but now she was infinitely shy, and her ears were even more heartbeat.

The carriage then moved forward, and Yan Shitu pulled the horse to avoid it, until the carriage turned the corner, and looked at each other stupidly.

didn't know that Wu Fangzi in the carriage had already received a shy look and was full of ridicule.

Look, all men in the world are like this, cheap bones, she gave him a slap as soon as she met, and after that, she scolded people and pulled out knives, and even when she went to Chengping Palace, she was unscrupulous, deliberately behaved roughly, and poked his mother's eyes...... But so what? Isn't he like a dog who comes up and can't beat him away? Mother, sister-in-law, sister-in-law, sister-in-law, and sister-in-law's face are ignored?

Hehe!

It's a pity that the place he picked is too quiet, there is no one, if it is in a place where people come and go, everyone hears her say that she will not marry, what do they want, it is shameless! Even if they really proposed marriage, she was not afraid, she would protest in public, so that everyone would know that she would rather die than marry him!

In fact, Yan Shiyue was quite curious about the draft, and originally planned to take a look, but he was too busy to care about it.

Because of the matter of Zhancheng rice, this can be regarded as the opportunity that Yan Shiyue was waiting for before, so in the past two days, the Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of Household are preparing to jointly promote things, and the imperial court is also preparing to issue a decree to encourage the development of wasteland.

If there are rice seeds, it is necessary to consider the productive forces, encourage the development of wasteland, and "if you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools." These are all things that affect the whole body.

Therefore, Yan Shiyue first considered the improvement of farm tools.

Now that the beans are about to be harvested, the thresher is a top priority, which will save a lot of labor.

In addition, the water mill can also be improved, the water mill is powered by water power, as early as the Jin Dynasty, but it can be improved, changed to a water wheel to drive several mills to rotate, this kind of is called water to connect the machine mill.

It can also be used as a waterwheel, a wind-powered waterwheel, which is also improved on the basis of the existing keel waterwheel.

Yan Shiyue went to the imperial study to see the driver, and saw a bunch of people waiting outside, so he said: "Are you in a hurry, don't be in a hurry, I'll cut in line." ”

Whoever dares to fight with her, naturally means that Xiangye will invite first, and then Yan Shiyue stretched out his head and gestured at Gu Jiuxing, and before he hit twice, Emperor Ming Yan said: "What are you doing sneakily, don't come in yet!" ”

Yan Shiyue went in, Prince Chun, who was deliberating, bowed his hand with a smile, and Emperor Ming Yan said: "What's so urgent?" ”

"It's not in a hurry," Yan Shiyue said with a smile: "But I want to go out to play for a while, if you're not afraid of Xiao Jiu Xiao Shi making trouble, I'll wait." ”

Emperor Ming Yan glared at her. Then he said, "What's the matter?" ”

Yan Shiyue put the drawings in his hand: "I have drawn some improvements to farm tools, and the mushrooms are about to be harvested, and this threshing one should be done quickly, who do you see this matter handed over, do I still need to fold it?" ”

Emperor Ming Yan took a closer look and said, "Isn't there a workshop in the Ministry of Commerce?" ”

"Aye," Yan Shiyue said, "The workshop of my Ministry of Commerce can't do this!" You have to understand that the more of this kind of thing, the better, and it is to encourage the people to follow suit. However, everything that we do in the Ministry of Commerce cannot be imitated, and the phrase 'the Ministry of Commerce must investigate counterfeiting' must become a profound concept, and when we think of the Ministry of Commerce, we will think of this, so that it will have a deterrent effect. Therefore, there must not be this kind of thing that can be imitated and that cannot be imitated, so that it will be chaotic and the effect will not be good. ”

Emperor Ming Yan raised his eyebrows slightly.

Yan Shiyue continued: "So, either after the test, hand over the drawings and let the people do it themselves, or let the Ministry of Industry do something, you look at your Ministry of Industry, either building a house or making tables and chairs for the palace or something, and they haven't done anything serious." ”

"Whose Ministry of Works?" Emperor Ming Yan scolded with a smile: "You are a dignified master, don't you work for nothing?"

She spread her hands: "So, what do you say?" ”

Emperor Ming Yan said: "You take it to the Ministry of Industry and ask them to do it." Try to make a batch first, and then send the drawings down. When the time comes, let them go up and say specific. ”

Yan Shiyue pouted: "Oh! ”

Emperor Ming Yan said: "Where are you going?" ”

Yan Shiyue said: "I want to take the children to eat edamame at Zhuangzi. ”

Emperor Ming Yan said: "Why don't you call me together?" ”

"Huh?" Yan Shiyue said: "Are you free?" I thought you weren't available! ”

Emperor Ming Yan snorted, "You don't even ask, it can be seen that you didn't sincerely invite me to go." ”

Yan Shiyue: "......"

Is it so naïve? She had no choice but to give a salute and said, "Aye, my daughter is ripe for the green sherbets, and I sincerely invite Aya to taste it!" ”

Emperor Ming Yan nodded: "Hmm! ”

Emperor Ming Yan had a whim, so the officials outside got an edict to go to Xiangye Zhuangzi to eat five-spice edamame.

The emperor's departure from the palace is not a trivial matter, and naturally he has to go through some preparations.

Then Wu Gang, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, who was called and came in a hurry, was grabbed by Yan Shiyue and gave him the drawings: "Lord Wu, hurry up, take advantage of this time, you hurry back and explain to your craftsmen, and make these things quickly." Forget about anything else, the thresher must be made within half a month, and after the drawings are perfected, it will be sent to local governments to encourage civilian imitation...... By the way, Aya said that you have to make a break. ”

Wu Gang was in a hurry to give a salute, and wanted to ask carefully, Prince Chun came over and said with a smile: "Lord Wu, Xiangye spoke briefly, you can just do what Xiangye said, and Xiangye will invite the emperor and us to go to Zhuangzi for dinner in a while, so you can explain it quickly, come over quickly,"

He clicked on the drawings: "Xiangye means not to miss the agricultural time, so we can ask the craftsmen to study this time when we eat." ”

Wu Gang suddenly realized, so he hurried to go.

As a result, as soon as I arrived at the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry and confessed, I heard that the emperor had left the palace.

So is he still going to rush? Wouldn't it seem too unfaithful to rush over? Not doing your job?
