The disciples brought by Master Xu were proficient in agronomy, arithmetic, and literature. Mu Qing arranged the destinations of everyone without Master Xu explaining in detail.

First of all, the chemical laboratories and biological laboratories can be gradually improved.

The second and most important thing.

There are not enough people, and even fewer talents like Master Xu. Mu Qing has been coveting the various schools of thought for a long time.

She couldn't just steal Mr. Xu's girl.

Mu Qing is a rare person in the entire farm family.

Mu Qing looked at Master Xu with a smile on her face, and her eyes followed Liu Yun.

A pair of clear eyes looked straight at Master Xu:

"Does the Nong family have other disciples? We are weak now. I have been learning agriculture since I was a child. I know that the Nong family cannot grow stronger again by relying on us."

Mu Qing lowered his head slightly, pretending to be lonely:

"It would be great if there were more people. Pesticides to kill insects have not yet been developed. If they were developed, the grain output would definitely go up to a higher level."

Mu Qing drew a big picture and saw that Master Xu was in deep thought. He sighed at the right time.

“There are so many people in this world who have no clothes to wear and no food to eat.”

"The warehouse is solid and you know the etiquette; the food and clothing are enough and you know the honor and disgrace."

"But the people are hungry and cold. I cannot turn a blind eye to their poverty just because I live a rich life."

Mu Qing said this with some personal feelings:

“Maybe I can’t change the status quo, but I want to try to change it.”

Master Xu suddenly felt very emotional. Their strength was still too weak.

"Don't worry, County Magistrate. I will write a letter to my former fellow disciples today. I have contacts with disciples from farmers' families in various places. I will copy down today's conversation and send it out."

"Master Xu really cares about the world."

Mu Qing regained her composure. She knew that there couldn't be only so few people in the farm.

When she thought about the large number of all-round farming disciples like this coming to Huang County, she felt that she could still fool a hundred Master Xus.

It would be nice if there were some relationship with Mohism, but of course, there would also be some relationship with Confucianism, Legalism, and Diplomacy.

The more the merrier.

In order to help Master Xu get started with various experiments more quickly.

In the morning, Mu Qing began to teach Master Xu and his disciples the basic knowledge of chemistry and biology.

In the afternoon, Mu Qing, Master Xu and others all needed to work. Master Xu was temporarily in charge of agriculture, such as assigning farmers and guiding the people in farming.

Yuehong was transferred back to the county government to study in other departments.

Every minor official has to rotate, and the supervision system has not yet been established.

On the one hand, it can prevent petty officials from engaging in corruption.

On the other hand, it is to do the three jobs better and squeeze out the surplus value (bushi).

In the evening, Master Xu and all the officials had small lessons to attend.

For example, basic arithmetic and simple medical knowledge are taught by Mu Qing.

The content of each lecture is very diverse, but it is very effective.

After a burst of arithmetic training, everyone in the county government now knows the multiplication table, and has become increasingly adept at using simple calculation charts in their work.

One of the most important advantages of icons is that they can replace cumbersome official documents with various forms.

Otherwise, with this workload, they will really die from overwork! (The inner cry of the petty official)

Now everyone has work to do, and when Master Xu brings the farmers here, there will be a steady supply of labor.

As long as the residents of Huang County are willing to work, they will have enough food to eat.

Mu Qing's money continued to flow into the hands of the people, and the money then flowed back into Mu Qing's hands through the purchase of food and fertilizer.

After a few days, the autumn harvest will be over and every family can continue to work and have surplus food.

Then, given the cautious nature of the common people, they would certainly start using the money they earned from working to hoard food or simply save the copper coins.

At this time, the economy could not be circulated, and the economy of the entire Huang County was like stagnant water, without vitality.

Mu Qing couldn't let the people hold on to their money. The streets were empty, and it was time for the shops here to start business.

Huang County was not a wealthy place. Even on the streets of the county, it was considered good if there was one shop of each type on the street.

Besides, when disaster strikes, most shops suffer losses and cannot continue to operate.

The only shops still open are a restaurant and a garment factory.

During the famine, people even had to rely on bartering for daily necessities.

After Mu Qing and others came, Huang County regained a lot of vitality, and many small stalls appeared on the streets.

The shops were losing money and going bankrupt. When Mu Qing arrived, the land was sold at an extremely low price, and she bought the entire street in one go.

Although the restaurant and the garment factory did not go bankrupt, Mu Qing was so wealthy that he directly spent money to destroy them.

Therefore, the owners of the only two shops that are still open are also Mu Qing.

Salt and iron are both controlled by the imperial court. After thinking for a long time, Mu Qing decided to touch these two things.

Salt is an essential seasoning in daily life.

The salt fields in Huangxian were previously under the jurisdiction of the "Salt Administration".

The salt administration agency was composed of salt officials, chief officials and three classes of councilors, and was an official organization.

Of course, after the chaos in Guangsha, no one in Huangxian came to manage the salt fields.

Mu Qing did not report it. Like any other official, she would definitely pretend to have amnesia as long as the court did not appoint her.

The salt extracted from salt fields contains a lot of impurities, is yellowish in color, and contains many harmful elements.

Crude salt impurities include magnesium sulfate and magnesium oxide.

After these acidic salt molecules are hydrolyzed, they stimulate the taste nerves and bring more saltiness. It is okay to consume them in the short term, but it will harm your health if consumed for a long time.

In industry, crude salt is usually purified by three washing methods.

Harmful substances can be removed after salt slurry washing.

When washing with saline, the magnesium chloride dissolves into the washing solution. The salt does not dissolve with it.

This will effectively remove harmful substances.

The brine that has precipitated crystals is a supersaturated solution of sodium oxide, and then add water and filter it.

Then repeat the filtration three times to get relatively pure sodium chloride crystals.

Mu Qing wrote the remaining detailed process as an SOP, detailing every step.

After she sent people to take over the salt fields, she immediately handed over the method of extracting refined salt to Mu Shu, and set up a salt factory near the salt fields to recruit workers.

The salt factory can provide jobs, and the refined salt it produces can be sold to the residents of Huang County, recycling their money, so Mu Qing can make a profit.

Three birds with one stone.

Three days later, a new shop opened on the street.

Huang County residents often gather at public notice areas. They can count the number of shops and stalls on the streets with their eyes closed.

As soon as this new shop opened, Huangxian residents, especially the elderly who were not working, immediately took a fancy to it.

"Snow...Flowers...Salt..."

Huangxian residents love to read announcements. They go there every day and recognize the words written on the shop signs. After careful identification, these old ladies and old men also know that the newly opened shop is a salt shop.

This is very rare.

Suddenly a shop popped up, selling salt for daily needs.
