The key was the mechanical finger. She really didn't have one, so she could only make it herself. Fortunately, she knew the technology and had enough materials.
After three to four hours, she finally finished the model. She could only continue tomorrow.
She left the lab. As expected, some time had passed, but it should be much slower than normal.
She chose to sleep first because she still had to collect grain.
In the next two days, she slowly counted the grain and then worked on the mechanical finger at night.
She was a little tired from working non-stop.
Just as he was thinking of taking a nap on the fourth day of collecting grain, several carriages suddenly stopped at the entrance of Wei Ziyao's courtyard.
He was stunned.
"Princess Consort, the Royal Highness sent us to deliver this. It's a total of ten million dan."
Ki Chien-chul?
He actually had such a backup plan?
Wei Ziyao walked out in surprise. There were so many carriages behind, full of grain.
Just as she was surprised, someone came to report, "Princess Consort, I'm the Second Prince's man. I've been ordered to deliver grain to you. It's five million dan."
Even Qi Xiaoze had come to help. That was a total of 15 million!
Half of it was done?
Just as she was thinking, the grain of the ministers arrived.
Of course, it was these two who received the most.
So on the fourth day, she collected more than seventeen million dan.
But it was still far from enough.
Now, the entire Sheng Capital was talking about her harvest.
Even the gambling house started to bet on whether she could collect thirty million dan of grain.
Everyone was suppressing themselves to the limit.
Indeed, it was impossible even if a deity came.
Coincidentally, Luo Yichen came back.
"When it comes to gambling … it'd be inexcusable if we don't get involved. Let Peony bet ten million taels and bet that we can gather the required amount."
Luo Yichen shrugged. It seemed that someone was going to be unlucky.
And on the afternoon of the fourth day, there was actually a continuous stream of ox carriages delivering grain to Sheng Capital.
"Lord Wei, we've rushed to collect grain. We've finally made it. It's not much, but it's all from our own land. There's a total of fifteen dan."
"Lord Wei, here's twenty dan."
"I have fifty stones here!"
She was from a humble family again. It was not the season to harvest rice yet. In order to make the food tasty, they usually started harvesting at the end of October. Now that October was approaching, these people hurriedly harvested all the food just to send it to her.
But this afternoon, he had only collected two hundred thousand stones.
There were a lot of them, but there were also a few Lulin members who acted in a righteous manner.
Who would have thought that Wei Ziyao's ruckus would alarm so many people?
The most important thing was that on the fifth day, the food in her hands was far from enough. At most, she only had 20 million dan. After calculating, she still had 10 million dan left.
When she went to report, Imperial Noble Consort Zi Yuan was also there. She was clearly here to watch the show, so Wei Ziyao didn't care.
She directly handed over the account book of the grain collection. Northern Wen Emperor glanced at it.
"19.7 million stones? Wei Ziyao, there's still more than ten million left! "
Northern Wen Emperor was about to die of anger. He thought that she was reliable, but who would have thought that she was so unreliable!
"Looks like Lord Wei has lost …" Zi Yuan said in a sarcastic tone.
Wei Ziyao smiled confidently. "Not necessarily. Please take a look, Your Majesty."
As she spoke, Wei Ziyao actually took out another book.
