Fang Liuming was in charge at the Ministry of Labour, where he had previously recommended the hand-cranked threshing machine. He had used the previous, clumsier version and knew how it worked. Upon seeing that Pei Qin had created a new, more portable version of the corn threshing machine, the Minister of Public Works questioned him and immediately gave a detailed explanation. They then tested it with a corn cob.

Fang Liuming was also promoted, starting to work on this matter under the guidance of the Minister of Public Works.
