Traveling through ancient times.

So that afternoon, the wheat seeds and the thresher were sold for a total of more than three hundred taels of silver.

Jiang Yizhou got the money and immediately made arrangements.

Carpentry workshop, rough processing workshop for wheat and other grains, tilling the land, and preparing for the next round of planting.

Just now, because of selling more than ten threshers, she gained hundreds of merit points.

It has now accumulated to more than 600 points.

Jiang Yizhou estimated that if he sold all the wheat, he would be able to get 1000 merits, which could be exchanged for improved corn seeds.

The reason why it can be exchanged for one thousand merits is that there are similar seeds here, but they are very small, like sorghum stalks, and the corn bag is not much bigger than a thumb.

The only advantage is that it is easier to manage than wheat and rice.

Basically, many farmers just throw the seeds into the soil, step on them with their feet, and then rely on the weather and wait until the harvest time.

If there are corn bags, break them off; if there are none, just cut the stalks and take them back as firewood.

The seeds themselves are of relatively poor quality, and with such rough management, it would be strange to get a good harvest.

Jiang Yizhou plans to promote this high-yield crop first, mainly because the land is now vacant and it is more suitable to plant this crop in this season.

Of course, if she had a choice, she would definitely choose the more productive sweet potatoes.

But until now, Jiang Yizhou has not seen any crops similar to sweet potatoes, so the exchange price is still 4000 merits, not a penny less.

On the third day, people from near Yunshan came to inquire about seeds and threshers.

Jiang Yizhou followed the agreement and paid three cents per pound, with a maximum of ten pounds.

After all, if you take it home and plant it, you can harvest at least several hundred kilograms in a year, so what's the point of lacking seeds?

Those who come from other places because of its reputation are charged ten cents each.

Some are still waiting and watching, while others take direct action.

Jiang Yizhou knew that since he started planting cassava and wheat, countless eyes had been staring at him.

Those who took direct action have all investigated the situation here thoroughly.

Most of them were landowners and businessmen around Fusong Town.

Jiang Yizhou sold more than 20,000 kilograms of fish that day and earned more than 200 taels of silver.

On the second and third day, more people came.

The mountains of wheat were sold out before they could even be stored in warehouses.

The funds recovered were nearly one thousand and two taels of silver.

All the threshers were sold, earning more than 100 taels of silver.

At present, from October last year to here, in the past seven or eight months, Jiang Yizhou's five hundred taels of silver has turned into one thousand taels. It can be said that he has recovered all the investment last year, and there is still a surplus of five hundred taels.

This was the first pot of gold she earned since coming into this world.

In addition, the farm now has three water wheels, two ponds, a complete irrigation network, and more than twice as much land as before, including mountains, reaching more than 600 acres.

In other words, the entire Yunshan area is now the property of the Jiang family farm.

Jiang Yizhou's tense spirit finally relaxed a little.

Judging from the current development situation, she has truly gained a foothold in this world.

However, this is not enough.

The construction of the farm is at a critical stage. She cannot give up the direct management of Yunshan Farm until she has accumulated enough merit to exchange for economic development technologies, formulas, and crops that fundamentally improve everyone's economy.

The thresher continues to be produced. Even if the surrounding demand reaches saturation, it can still be sold to other places, which is also a considerable income.

As for the processing workshops for crops such as wheat, rice, and corn, Jiang Yizhou plans to build them at the foot of the mountain and use water conservancy instead of manpower.

As for this, she definitely couldn't draw the specific blueprint herself, but fortunately she understood the general principle, so Xiao Tongzi searched for it and only needed 500 merits.

With enough wood, Zhang Ni and her colleagues are working overtime to make the thresher, trying to make as much money as possible while there are no imitations on the market.

They have now become serious female carpenters. Not only are they happy, but their families are also deeply moved.

She found Jiang Yizhou and wanted to kneel down to him... Of course Jiang Yizhou stopped her - they were all her maids now, wasn't it natural for a master to protect her own maids?

Because Jiang Yizhou had already paid all the bonuses he had promised to several people, Yunxin and Yucui were rewarded with five taels of silver for their contributions in organizing the digging of ditches and harvesting wheat.

Zhang Ni, Zhang Da Nv and Zhang Baosheng were rewarded with five taels of silver each for their contribution in producing threshers in excess of the quota.

They are all people who can earn money independently.

For those children who never had more than ten yuan on them, five taels of silver was a huge sum of money.

Zhang Ni is better off. She has been at the farm for a few months and receives two taels of silver as monthly stipend.

Zhang Danniu and Zhang Baosheng were so excited that they didn't know where to put the money.

On the second day after the thresher was sold, Jiang Yizhou distributed the wages and bonuses. Zhang Danniu signed the indenture contract without any suspense and became Jiang Yizhou's fifth maid.

What surprised Jiang Yizhou was that Zhang Baosheng also wanted to join the carpentry workshop and even sign a contract to sell himself.

What surprised Jiang Yizhou even more was that Zhang Mugui and Jiang did not object.

In that case, let’s collect them all.

Jiang Yizhou arranged the affairs of the village, including canal maintenance, land management, carpentry workshop operation, etc.

The entire villa is like a machine, which starts running at high speed after being started.

Jiang Yizhou himself began to prepare to go to the county town.

The last time I went was to Ximin County, which is the closest to here, and I "brought" back wheat seeds.

I definitely can’t go there this time. Jiang Yizhou thought about it and decided to go to Tianqi County.

It is far from Fusong Town, and close to the largest inland river, Wujiang River, which is directly connected to the sea.

So there are often seafood coming into Tianqi County from Wujiang River...

The last time Jiang Yizhou went to Ximin County alone, he actually didn't even enter the county town. He found a remote place to get the wheat seeds, and then asked Brother Tao to drive a horse-drawn carriage to bring them back.

This time, because the journey is a bit far and the situation there is more complicated, Jiang Yizhou decided to take Liao Qi with him.

Just the afternoon before she was about to leave for Tianqi County, several uninvited guests came to the farm.

Ning Jianren was wearing a deep blue gown with a gauze smock of the same color on the outside, a jade belt tied around his waist with a jade pendant hanging from it.

He wore a black gauze hat on his head, with two ribbons of the same color hanging from his temples, which together with his ink-black hair made him look like an elegant and handsome man.

As soon as he arrived, he exuded a noble temperament that was awe-inspiring without even being angry, making this farm, which was originally full of the rustic atmosphere of the mountains, seem to become vulgar all of a sudden.

"Go, call your young lady and tell her that her husband has come to take her home in person."

The doorman looked at the handsome and innocent man in front of him, and the sense of superiority he had worked so hard to cultivate here disappeared completely. He immediately bent his waist, responded repeatedly, and then trotted in to report.
