Traveling through ancient times.

Everyone was talking at once, and the man waited until everyone quieted down before continuing, "What are you thinking? Didn't the Jiang family rent the uncultivated wasteland to us? Didn't you see that he worked so hard to open up the wasteland just to make the land ready for us before renting it to us?"

"As for the rent, the news is that it is definitely not as high as the rent offered by those masters..."

People nodded, this is the truth.

The head of the Jiang family is now spending so much effort to transform the wasteland, he will definitely not give it to them if it is not done well.

"It's not the right time yet, who can say for sure. Who wouldn't love to have money..."

Before the man finished speaking, a loud voice took over the conversation: "Uncle He, I don't object to you saying this about others, but I totally disagree with you saying this about Patriarch Jiang."

"It hasn't happened yet, how can you be so sure that she is different from those landlords?"

"Of course, I heard it myself. You remember the county magistrate's visit to our farm not long ago."

Seeing everyone nodding, the man continued, "The county magistrate said in person that he wanted Master Jiang to sell all the grain to him at the price outside. You know what the price is outside, right? Ten cents, ten cents a pound. You have to know that he is an official. If he asked you to give him the grain at the highest price, would you be unwilling?"

Everyone shook their heads again.

The man slapped his thigh and said, "Hey, the head of the Jiang family is unwilling. Do you know what she said?"

Everyone: Can you please finish what you are saying at once?

That person: "Mrs. Jiang said that she is willing to sell the high-quality seeds to the county magistrate, so that more people can plant them. But the premise is that we must first keep enough seeds for us, for the people of Yunshan, and the price is three cents per pound as before. You say, even when facing the county magistrate and the silver delivered to her, Mrs. Jiang can still think about us and miss us, can she be like those landlords?"

"I know about this. I was breaking corn bags not far from them at the time. I also saw the head of the Jiang family bowing to the county magistrate. The head of the Jiang family was really good to us."

People sighed again. Indeed, since the head of the Jiang family came here, their lives have been getting better and better, and they have become more hopeful.

Therefore, they must do their job well and not let Master Jiang down.

...The working adjustment between new and old employees, coupled with chatting during breaks, allowed these newcomers to gradually put aside their worries and become more determined.

And bring this confidence back home, so that the whole family will be full of hope for the future.

Well, then if they follow the main body of the Jiang family, they can also have full meals and warm clothes like those people... and even send their children to Yunshan Academy.

…………

After the radishes were harvested, Jiang Yizhou immediately transported a batch to the county seat of Ximin County.

Mr. He had just finished processing that batch of corn and wheat seeds, and now he had become a hot commodity in several nearby counties. They all wanted to establish a good relationship with him and get the good seeds.

It’s not that if he just casually tells people “corn and wheat have high yields”, people will believe it and start following him.

But the wheat seeds that Jiang Yizhou had sold before had already been brought to these places by those merchants, and there was already a certain public opinion basis. Now that it was confirmed by the county magistrate, everyone believed it of course.

Just in time, Jiang Yizhou brought in some radishes that looked like white and plump mallets, which once again refreshed people's perceptions.

Can radishes grow so big?

Moreover, this radish doesn’t taste spicy at all, and even has a slight sweetness.

It can quench your thirst when eaten raw, and can also be eaten cold, cooked into soup, stewed with meat... In fact, a few bites can fill your stomach when you are really hungry.

This is simply a treasure gifted by God.

The most important thing is that Jiang Yizhou also priced this big white radish very affordable: one cent for two pounds.

As a result, before Lord He promoted the local specialties of his jurisdiction, those businessmen smelled the business opportunity and flocked to Yunshan Farm.

There was a constant stream of horse-drawn carriages and caravans coming and going.

The mountain of large white radishes had been sold out before they were even put into storage.

There was a little left, and Jiang Yizhou planned to save some for himself, make some into pickled radish, and some into dried radish.

There are still a few radishes left in the corners of the field that have not been harvested. They are for seeds.

Hundreds of thousands of pounds of radishes were sold, and the funds were recovered, with part of it reinvested in land reclamation and construction: mainly the construction of canals and temporary houses.

As for the workers' wages, most of these people did not ask for silver directly, but exchanged them for grain.

After all, they still have to go to the market to buy the copper coins.

The key point is that what is sold on the market are ordinary buckwheat, oats and sorghum, which not only contain a lot of impurities, but also feel prickly when eaten, and are nowhere near as fine as wheat and corn.

Of course, the wheat and corn were still limited to 10 jin per person, but other vegetables, fruits, etc. were unlimited and the prices were much lower than outside. Especially for radishes, they could buy 3 jin for one penny, which was enough to fill their stomachs.

Therefore, salary expenditure is actually the least.

With more than 1,000 taels of silver left, Jiang Yizhou prepared to do something big - build a cement workshop.

Because, after the radishes were sold, her merits reached more than three thousand, and the cement formula that was originally just a "?" finally became clear.

【Cement formula: merit】

Originally, ten thousand was still too high for Jiang Yizhou. Even if he did not exchange anything during this period, it would probably take at least a year to get the money together.

But Xiao Tongzi said: "You actually already know the general raw materials for producing cement, limestone, gypsum, clay, coal and some ores. Now the Supreme Rule has shown you the exchange price, which means that according to the current production level, cement can be produced. It's just that the difficulty is greater. But if you can complete these raw materials and production processes step by step, you will be closer to the conditions for cement production, and the merits required for exchange will be reduced accordingly."

Jiang Yizhou understood: "That is to say, if we make the raw materials needed for cement production first, such as the production equipment for grinding and calcining, the exchange price will not be that high."

Xiao Tongzi: “That’s what I mean.”

Jiang Yizhou made up his mind to build roads first if he wanted to get rich.

The output of Zhuangzi is getting bigger and bigger now, and it will be even bigger in the future.

Such a huge quantity is definitely a huge challenge for transportation.

She had ridden in a carriage many times, and even if it was covered with cushions, the road surface was still bumpy enough to make people want to vomit.

Moreover, the road conditions are poor, which not only reduces the amount of transportation, but also increases the time.

So, even though making cement is a tough nut to crack, she is determined to do it.
