Traveling through ancient times.

Five days later, Zhang Ni went to see Jiang Yizhou with her newly made corn thresher.

Zhang Ni asked her brother Zhang Baosheng to go to the field and pick out a corn that ripens the fastest for experimentation. These corns can now be cooked and eaten.

These days Jiang Yizhou asked Xia He and others to prepare some boiled corn, roasted corn, fresh corn cakes, and corn cakes to eat.

The sweet taste conquered the people of the whole village almost instantly. Brother Tao took some to Fusong Town to sell at three cents a corn cob. Ordinary people could certainly not afford it, but there were many rich people in the town who wanted to buy more after trying it once.

It only costs a few cents per stick, which is nothing for the rich people of this class.

So I bought it two or three times, and it was sold out almost as soon as it arrived.

This corn is sweet, tender, and a little sticky.

If Jiang Yizhou had not been determined to save the seeds so that they could be promoted on a large scale, half of the corn would have been bought by merchants before it could mature.

Let's get back to the topic. After Zhang Baosheng came back with a few ears of corn, Zhang Ni and others put the corn cobs into the feed inlet in front of Jiang Yizhou, turned the winch, and then... the sticky corn pulp flowed out.

But it can still be seen that this can indeed remove the corn kernels, but the corn kernels are still a little tender and cannot withstand the pressure of the wooden teeth.

Jiang Yizhou discovered that the machine made by Zhang Ni and her colleagues was completely comparable to the one she exchanged from Xiao Tongzi.

Although the blueprint she exchanged for dozens of merit points was not used, she did not feel it was a waste at all. Instead, she felt happy for those people in her heart.

In the future, maybe she would only have to make a request, and this group of budding scientists would be able to make it for her.

Wouldn’t that mean you can save the merit of exchanging the drawings?

Jiang Yizhou praised the three people greatly and asked them to produce according to this model.

Because the overall material usage is relatively small and the structure is much simpler than that of water wheels and wheat threshers.

The cost of wood alone is only a few dozen coins, plus the cost of labor and time, it would be completely feasible to sell it for half a tael to one tael of silver.

But once this product enters the market, people will take it apart and easily imitate and produce it.

There is no intellectual property protection in this era. Of course, Jiang Yizhou does not think it is necessary to monopolize the exclusive production rights of these items that can improve productivity.

If everyone can do it and use it, wouldn't it save everyone more time and physical labor costs and create more surplus labor?

However, when promoting it for the first time, Jiang Yizhou still wanted to eat the first bite of meat as much as possible.

Therefore, Jiang Yizhou asked Zhang Ni and the others to temporarily put aside the production of other things and make some corn threshers as backup.

...As the days passed, the entire Zhuangzi, no, the entire Yunshan was immersed in the exciting atmosphere of the upcoming harvest.

Another half a month later, it was finally time to harvest the corn.

The day before the harvest mode officially started, Jiang Yizhou asked everyone on the farm to temporarily put down their work and start making final preparations for tomorrow's corn harvest.

Just like the last wheat harvest, Jiang Yizhou still planned to use baked buns, braised meat and mung bean soup instead of formal lunch and dinner.

But last time there were not enough manpower, food, and kitchen to do all this, so we asked Brother Tao to go to Fusong Town to buy ready-made ones.

The cost is very high, and the baked buns are basically made of coarse grains, which are not ground finely and are very choking to the throat when eaten.

Now she has high-quality wheat. She sells tens of thousands of kilograms and keeps several thousand kilograms for herself, which is enough to feed the whole village for a year.

So of course I had to do it myself this time.

This time there is a spacious kitchen, with Xia He and Qiu Ju being the ones specifically in charge of it, and then ten people were urgently transferred into the kitchen to help.

With ready-made flour and two pigs, more than ten people each doing their own job can produce food for several hundred people for two days in one day.

This time, people near Yunsan had basically finished harvesting their rice and were waiting for Jiang Yizhou's cassava and corn seeds.

Considering the growing time of corn in Yunshan Farm, they can take advantage of the fact that there are still a few months before the New Year and plant a batch of corn first and then plant wheat or cassava.

In addition, they had tasted the sweetness of success from Jiang Yizhou several times before, so everyone in the family who could walk, whether women, the elderly or children, all went to work at Jiang Yizhou's farm.

Yunxin looked at the crowd of people standing in the courtyard in front of the manor and felt very excited but also a little embarrassed.

Because many of the children here have probably just learned to walk, and the ridges in the fields haven’t been raised yet, so how can they pick the corn?

And what about those elderly people who have to use crutches to walk? Can they walk steadily on the bumpy ground?

What if something goes wrong?

Jiang Yizhou patted her shoulder and said, "It's okay. You can record these old people and children separately. I will make arrangements when the time comes."

...During the busy farming season, Yunshan Farm is packed with people and there are more staff than ever.

The grand scene here is in stark contrast to the fact that there is no one to work on the fields of other landlords.

This made some nearby landlords feel very uncomfortable, because in the past, when the crops in their fields were ripe, they always arranged for the tenants to help them harvest first. Sometimes they even had to threaten the peasants a little bit before they would help them do it.

As for this Yunshan Farm... these peasants actually went to guard the farm by themselves.

In fact, they don't even think about the fact that the tenant farmers or peasants they hired could get four or five cents a day as the highest pay, and they also had to send supervisors to watch over them from dawn to dusk, and they didn't even have a full meal.

On the other hand, Yunshan Farm pays ten cents a day and provides two meals with meat and white flour buns. They are peasants, but they are not fools. It is obvious which one to choose.

As a result, it has become even more difficult for them to hire workers over the past year, and they may not even be able to employ their own tenants.

They threatened to confiscate their land, but people no longer seemed as scared as before.

It's because Yunshan Farm is under construction almost all year round. If these tenant farmers are hardworking, they can earn more by working on the farm for a year than by digging for food in the fields. Naturally, they are not afraid of your threats.

Therefore, in the eyes of these landlords, it was Yunshan Farm that disrupted the rules and order here. It was Yunshan Farm that spoiled these peasants.

It's not like they haven't thought about destroying the farm.

But no matter whether they hired people to destroy the pond, the water diversion channel, or the seedlings, they were stopped by others. The key point is that they were caught red-handed every time and then beaten up. They deserved it wherever they went. Later, they themselves were secretly taught a lesson several times...

That woman looks weak and harmless, but she is not only tough on the surface, but also plays dirty tricks behind the scenes. The key point is that she doesn't destroy other people's irrigation canals for crops or anything like that. She only bullies people and does it without any evidence.

As a result, these landlords could not defeat the enemy no matter whether openly or secretly, public opinion was useless, and even when they made a fuss to the village head, no one spoke up for them, so they finally had to be quiet.
