Married a proud husband after farming

Chapter 799
Ruan Jing thought of something, and suddenly said: "The Ninth Princess is very abnormal recently, even Shen Cheng is at home on leave, and the two of them stay behind closed doors. Listening to the commotion in the Princess Mansion, the Ninth Princess seems to be developing gunpowder."

Yuan Gang also heard about it a little, his face changed suddenly, and he suddenly asked in surprise: "Could it be that Princess Jiu knew we were going to raise an army, so she developed gunpowder to deal with us?"

"It's not impossible," Ruan Jing's expression became serious, and he turned to look at Prime Minister Xiao, "If the Ninth Princess is allowed to develop gunpowder, I'm afraid it will be bad for us."

Prime Minister Xiao narrowed his sharp eyes slightly: "Only you and I know about the raising of troops. How did she know about it? Her development of gunpowder must have other uses. Now, let's just wait and see what happens, and don't get confused."

Rong Jiu never acted according to common sense, and the two also felt that what Prime Minister Xiao said made sense, so they nodded in agreement.

On the second day, Yuan Gang and Ruan Jing ordered the grain merchants to hoard grain and not sell it.

The people immediately panicked. Rong Jiu had been researching black powder for the past few days. He listened to Mr. Yan's report, and his expression was frighteningly cold: "What is the Xiao family going to do, to force the people to rebel?"

Taking a deep breath, he asked Shen Cheng, "Is there no news about Xiaoyue'er and Mu Feng?"

Shen Cheng's stern and cold eyes were full of gleams of ups and downs, all filled with frost-soaked chills: "Mufeng has sent news that he will be there tomorrow, and several nearby cities are also affected by the price of rice in Chang'an. If Chang'an is in chaos, Chaos followed in other places, the Xiao family forced the people to rebel, it was nothing more than wanting to rebel themselves, a good teacher is famous."

Rong Jiu wished he could bring gunpowder and blow up the Xiao family to the ground. He suppressed his anger and killed him, and said coldly: "The Xiao family wanted that position wholeheartedly, but pushed the people into dire straits. At the same time, the peace and stability of Southern Chu for a hundred years will be destroyed in one day, how many people will be displaced, and their lives will be devastated. If other countries take advantage of the emptiness and enter, under the full nest, there will be no eggs?"

Shen Cheng held her hand: "Tomorrow when Mufeng comes back from buying rice grains, he should be able to last for a while longer. As long as Lingyue collects evidence of officials hoarding grains, the matter will be resolved."

Rong Jiu calmed down his anger slowly, and said, "I've already developed black powder, sir, how are you doing with your barrel making?"

"It's ready, let's try it."

"Ah."

The two went to a farm under their name with a bobbin cart. The steward of the farm saw the two coming and was taken aback for a moment, then looked at the big wheels on the carriage and said in surprise, "Princess, is this a water cart?"

Rong Jiu nodded, and asked the steward to find a few young and strong men to move the bobbin to the river.

Hearing that Rong Jiu brought the water truck over, many farmers followed him.

They have also seen waterwheels draw water from the river to irrigate farmland before, but they need people to step on them all the time, even if they step on them all night, they can't irrigate much.

The bobbin wagon that Rong Jiu brought was a little different from other water wagons, and everyone was looking forward to it.

I found a place where the water flow was turbulent, and immersed the bobbin in the water. Under the impact of the water, the bobbin slowly turned.

Everyone held their breaths and watched the bobbin wheel turn, and when the bobbin was filled with water, it was sent to a high place with the rotation of the wooden wheel, poured into the water tank, and flowed into the field.

"There is water, there is water, and the river can be brought up without people stepping on it. It's amazing."

"With this waterwheel, even if there is a drought, there is no fear of confiscating the harvest."

The farmer was shocked. Looking at the continuous flow of water flowing into the field, he cheered excitedly.
