It's really hard to just farm peacefully.

Chapter 303

The winnowing machine in front of her completely replicated Jiang Yan's dream, but the dream was incomplete, and she only saw the surface of some of the key points. After assembling it, it either could not be shaken, or the internal parts fell off after shaking a few times.

Old men Jiang Shun and Jiang Qi helped her adjust it several times based on their experience. Now it is in a state where it can rotate in circles, but has little effect on winnowing the grain.

Jiang Yuan asked: "How do we change it next?"

Jiang Yan was worried: "I haven't thought about it yet."

Testing this thing consumes a lot of wood. Even though Dongshan Village is close to the mountains, there is not enough suitable wood for them to use continuously, so they have to come up with some tricks to make it worthwhile.

Jiang Yuan seemed to be thinking about something.

……

Jiang Yuan and the guards who came with him did not stay for long before they hurried back to the county town to explain to Fu Jian and Fu Yi, the manager.

Hearing that Jiang Yan returned home twice for the purpose of farming, Fu Jian was speechless and almost laughed out loud.

"Forget it, just go back to work."

Why bother with someone who is so obsessed with farming that he doesn't consider other options? He's the fool who would bother.

Jiang Yuan walked out of the house hesitantly, and then he heard Fu Yi's voice: "Wait."

"I heard your village is tinkering with the Fenggu Car?"

Jiang Yuan turned around excitedly: "Yes, but there are still some things I don't understand. Can the manager send someone to give me some pointers?"

Seeing the expressionless faces of the two men at the top, Jiang Yuan quickly added, "I'm willing to exchange it for a reward."

The Fenggu Car has been around for over a hundred years, but it has always been hidden among the aristocratic families and has not yet spread to the general public.

The Fu family should have had such experiences, but Fu Jian was still young when the accident happened. He had no contact with farm work and paid no attention to farm tools. He himself was not interested in it, so when he heard the term "Fenggu Cart", he was a little confused.

If Fu Yiruo was not in charge of information, he would have vaguely heard of the existence of this kind of agricultural tool a few years ago. And it just so happened that the Wang family in Rongding County had one hidden in a branch clan who was who knows how many generations away and their people saw it, but he probably wouldn't pay attention to it now.

However, the person who knew more about this matter was Fu Jia. Since he knew that there was a real machine in Rongding County but it could not be completely moved back, he had ordered the craftsmen to study it for more than ten days.

Fu Yi did not agree or reject Jiang Yuan's request. Everything had to wait until Fu Jia arrived.

……

"Butler." Jiang Yuan greeted with some surprise. This butler who was in charge of the money in the mansion rarely showed up, or it could be said that people like Jiang Yuan basically had no dealings with him.

"Master Jiang, please talk to him." Fu Jia quickly got to the point.

Master Jiang is a skilled craftsman who was ordered to lead a team to make Fenggu Cart. However, because he has never seen the real thing, he knows nothing about it except the appearance and functions described by a few people. Therefore, the imitation is currently at a standstill.

Master Jiang asked questions one after another. Jiang Yuan could only answer a few basic ones and didn't know the answers to the rest.

Is it true or false that their village makes its own Fenggu cart? Will the government be fooled? Master Jiang looked at Fu Jia, the steward, in confusion.

Fu Jia didn't show any unusual emotion after receiving the eye signal. He just asked in his usual tone, "You don't know much, is there anyone in your village who knows more? If you succeed, the government will definitely reward you handsomely."

"Two elders and a young woman in our village who are skilled in carpentry are working on this, but they haven't finished yet. It would be great if the government could send a master carpenter to help guide them."

Jiang Yuan once again expressed his hope for guidance from the palace, but this time he learned his lesson and did not mention Jiang Yan.

Although they would definitely know after the guards came back to report, Fu Jian had not left after all. If they mentioned it, they would not know how to provoke the master and be interrogated again. There was no need for that.
