After the rain stopped and the sky cleared up, people were afraid that it would rain again, so they began to harvest rice in an emergency.

The stone dam inside the farm became an object of competition among everyone, and Wang Zheng had to divide the usage rights among them.

These are the people who are close to the farm. As for those who are farther away from the farm, Wang Zheng couldn't help but be curious about how they dry the grain.

Zhu Laoer grinned with his toothless mouth and said, "The ground is slurried with cow dung."

Wang Ying's eyes widened as he asked, "Wasn't the millet mixed with cow dung? How dirty it must be!"

"No, I get up in the morning and mix some sticky cow dung slurry on the ground. When the millet is threshed, the husks will fall off the ground. After the millet is dried in the sun, use a winnowing basket to winnow it. The cow dung ash and husks will disappear together. There will be no smell at all."

Wang Zheng said with a smile: "Believe it or not, just go and see for yourself and you will know."

Zhu Laoer smiled so hard that his teeth were exposed. "Thank you very much, Steward. Thank you very much, Steward. We will definitely work hard. If anyone dares not to do his best, I will beat him with a big bamboo pole."

"Very good, how about this, you will receive an extra 500 kilograms of rice every month from now on, which I will use for your gatherings."

The salt-making workshop is now used by Wang Zheng to boil brown sugar. After being pressed twice by four large stone rollers, almost all the sugarcane juice is squeezed out.

The salt-making workshop has stopped production, mainly because the raw materials were controlled by Wu Zetian. However, Wu Zetian also gave Wang Zheng a quota of 10,000 dan of salt per month and strictly prohibited the secret method of salt-making from leaking out.

Farmers are looking at how to increase production or plant new things. For example, no one planted Yongcai before, but now everyone likes to plant it. Not only can people eat it, but pigs, cattle, sheep, and horses also like to eat it.

As for Wang Zheng's return to Chang'an, the couple deliberately ignored it.

In fact, you craftsmen should sit together and hold a meeting every month, so that you can chat with each other, and maybe something good can be discussed?"

Zhu Laoer was stunned for a moment, "What's new?"

The weather was getting colder, and Luo Xiaomei was beginning to show signs of being pregnant. Wang Xian's reply told Wang Zheng to just do what he wanted, and that a wedding was not necessary. As someone from the Ye Ting Bureau, keeping a low profile was the best way to protect himself, and there was no need to bother about some conventional rituals.

After the last few sips of evaporation in the big iron pot, someone will take the pot aside to beat the sand, that is, stir-fry it continuously, and finally pour it into a wooden frame covered with white paper, and it will become a brown sugar brick.

Both Wu Zetian and Li Zhi sent imperial edicts, which contained both blame and praise. Generally speaking, they delegated power to Wang Zheng. However, the annual money and grain could not be reduced. Li Zhi also specifically mentioned that he wanted to build the Daming Palace.

Wang Zheng said a lot, and Zhu Laoer kept nodding his head. "Okay, don't worry, Chief Steward. I'll pass the instructions on later. I'll have them gather at my house tomorrow."

The sugarcane juice keeps rolling in the big iron pot, becoming thicker every time it passes through a big iron pot. After the tenth big iron pot, it has almost turned into brown sugar.

The bubbles scooped out will not be wasted, and they are very good for feeding pigs because the bubbles are somewhat sweet.

Wang Ying shook his head vigorously. "No, out of sight, out of mind. I'll just think of the rice as being dried on stone slabs."

Wang Zheng looked at Zhu Laoer again and said, "It's been half a year, and you craftsmen who are paid monthly have done a good job. Although the rice fields suffered a disaster this year, the fish have grown to half a pound.

The sugarcane juice flows through bamboo poles into the pool, and after simple filtration, it flows into the large iron pot on the ground stove.

Although grain is not valuable now, twelve dan of grain is still not a small amount. Craftsmen like them who receive monthly wages have enough money for food and drink, so they are naturally happy about the extra income.

The medicinal herbs that Old Lady Wu needs can also be asked to be grown by farmers to see if they can be grown on a large scale. Medicinal herbs are more valuable than food.

"Haha, that's a smart idea."

Old lady Wu collected and organized different prescriptions, not only for treating humans, but also for pigs, cattle, sheep, and horses.

As long as the seeds are planted, it is okay even if they bloom and bear fruit a thousand years later.

Salt rocks are available all over the world. After the salt rocks were put to use, the price of salt immediately plummeted by more than half, and people's lives became much easier.

The fact that Wang Zheng was able to give out rewards meant that what they did was recognized and their jobs would definitely be kept. Compared to the past, they not only lived a comfortable life here, but also had dignity, and they were doing what they liked, so they didn't want to be driven away.

Wang Zheng thought for a while and said, "For example, you can, in addition to breeding fish fry, try to see what those fish like to eat and what they will grow faster after eating.

"Just do your best and tell them if they have any new ideas, just try them out.

Others have also done a lot of useful things. I know all of this. Although the farm is in a difficult situation now, you still have to be rewarded. There is no more money left.

In fact, this amount of food is secondary. The most important thing is Wang Zheng’s attitude.

However, it doesn’t matter how low the version is, as long as version 1.0 appears, even if it is only updated by 0.01 every year, it can be updated to 10 in a thousand years.

What you do on a daily basis is basic work, and its main purpose is not only to pass on the skills, but also to come up with some new and good things."

Compared with boiled salt, sugarcane juice requires you to scoop out the bubbles on the surface, otherwise the brown sugar will not be so sandy and refreshing, and may become sticky to your teeth.

If Lu Dongbin and Qingxuzi are chemists, then Zhu Laoer and his gang can also be considered scientists, it's just that the version is a bit too low.

I'll give you some rice. You and Old Lady Wu will each take 12 dan, and the other leaders will each take 10 dan. As for the rest, you can decide how much to give them."

Wang Zheng scooped up a little and put it in his mouth to taste it, then nodded and said, "Not bad, let's do this. Let them finish extracting Xiaogen's sugarcane and then stop for now. After the New Year, save enough seeds from the farms below, and then make sugar from the remaining ones."

Wang Zheng is just testing the sugar factory. A lot of sugarcane seeds are needed, so Wang Zheng plans to plant for one year and keep the old stumps for two years, so that he can save a lot of sugarcane seeds.

Therefore, October is not a good season to harvest sugarcane. It is best to cut sugarcane before or after the New Year so that the remaining stumps can germinate well.

Zhang San frowned and replied, "Some people from the farm are already selling sugarcane to Yuzhou."

Wang Zheng raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "Let them be. They will regret it next spring."
