Princess of the auxiliary country

Even so, Fang Qiao couldn't help but feel worried.

The battles with the gentry and gentry have always been full of dangers. Some people will do anything for profit.

However, the emperor's order has been issued, and he is also a wise minister who is devoted to the people. If he has an opportunity to benefit the people, he should give it a try even if it is difficult and dangerous.

Just as the imperial court was busy promoting corn and re-measurement of the land.

Huo Junyao has planned several workshops here, and the products they make are not high-end.

According to the current basic situation of the Yu Dynasty, and combined with some things that were convenient for the public in later generations, she established a wood workshop, mainly making tables, chairs and furniture.

Of course, in terms of ideas, it far surpasses the Yu Dynasty. As mentioned before, the Yu Dynasty is similar to the early Tang Dynasty where she lived in her previous life, so things like tatami are still more popular.

Although furniture has made great achievements in all aspects, it is still far behind some of the concepts of later generations.

No, the rocking chair she got for herself earlier was very popular with everyone.

In addition to these, there are also rotating dining tables, which can also be made.

However, the price of this type of things is relatively not too high, fortunately it is relatively simple, and there are also many half-year-old children in her Xiaohuangzhuang, and they don't have any skills.

She simply asked her father for more than a dozen carpenters and arranged apprentices for each of them. Of course, this was not free. She gave some money to those craftsmen who were willing to provide apprentices.

After all, in ancient times, craftsmanship was not spread without reason.

This can be regarded as some of her early investment. She needs manpower, especially those who master handicrafts. Instead of asking her father to borrow them all the time, she might as well cultivate a batch of them herself.

If you have any new ideas in the future, you won’t have to worry about no one using them.

In addition to the carpentry workshop, she also built two new earth kilns, which were not used for firing bricks and tiles, but for firing porcelain, cement, lime, etc.

Since we need to build infrastructure, cement and lime must be built.

In addition, these newly built earthen kilns can also be used to bake glass. After all, these things are extremely low-cost.

Glass was also available in the Yu Dynasty, but it was called Liuli. It was a treasure that was very popular among the upper class circles.

In response to this, she just smiled and said nothing, and wondered if, after she got the first batch of glass, she could blackmail those upper-level personnel for a lot of money.

Apart from these, she set her sights on the candy.

Yuchao's sugar is still a large piece of sugar with a lot of impurities and a yellowish color, and the taste is not very good.

But even so, these things can only be enjoyed by those with status and wealth.

In this way, it is in line with her wishes. To make money, in such a good environment, it is natural to first target those rich and powerful upper-class people.

As for the people at the bottom, although the market is not small, to be honest, the Yu Dynasty is too poor. Although it is possible to make money from them, it is definitely not as fast as these guys from the upper class.

"Miss, the tools you want have been prepared."

"Well, bring them all."

The tool in Xiaochan's mouth is the tool that Huo Junyao plans to use to purify white sugar. Of course, in addition to white sugar, there is also refined salt.

Although she can't start a refined salt business yet, she still needs to ensure her expenses. She is not used to the kind of salt produced in the Yu Dynasty.

When the tools arrived, Huo Junyao got started directly, while Xiaochan and Hongxiu Wangxia helped. After tinkering all day, Huo Junyao finally purified all the large pieces of yellowish sugar. The next step was to dry the water and wait for it to crystallize. This process was relatively long, so Huo Junyao left it to her servants to do it, and also gave it to her servants. Got the pointer.

The next day, the white sugar was formed. Xiaochan and the others were shocked when they saw the snow-white fine sugar.

They never dreamed that one day they would see such pure and beautiful candy.

"Try them all."

After Huo Junyao finished speaking, everyone took a spoon and put some into their mouths. Their eyes widened for a moment.

"This is too sweet."

"Wangxia, do you remember the steps and everything?"

Xiaochan and Hongxiu had already made arrangements. Wangxia was originally helping to keep an eye on the crops, but with the emergence of Xiaohuangzhuang and Ten Thousand Mu Manor, and the emergence of more professional farmers, she had nothing to do.

Although the craftsmanship of this white sugar was nothing in later generations, in the current Yu Dynasty, it was a very advanced craft and something that could make a lot of money.

Huo Junyao was still a little worried about handing it over to unfamiliar people. Even though she would help spread this craft in the future, she had to take the first wave of dividends first.

So, after much thought, she decided to leave Wang Xia in charge of this matter.

"I have memorized it all, but I'm not familiar with it yet."

"It doesn't matter if you're not familiar with it. The tools are all here. You go find Grandma Xi and buy some large pieces of sugar from outside. You can try to purify a small amount yourself. This is very simple. You will become familiar with it after doing it a few times. "

"Come to me again after you get familiar with it, and I will make some arrangements for you."

Wang Xia nodded and went to find Grandma Xi that day. Then she took the tools back to where she lived and started tinkering behind closed doors.

At the same time, Huo Junyao also asked Hong Xiu to arrange for people to build the white sugar factory, without specifically stating that the factory buildings needed to be separated.

She has already planned to use an assembly line method to do the work. Firstly, it is more efficient, and secondly, it can effectively prevent workers from mastering all the steps.

This is not her villain. To make money, she should be more careful and not be rude.

In the next few days, Wang Xia had successfully mastered it, and Huo Junyao also informed her of the assembly line arrangements. As for how to find people, it was all left to Wang Xia.

There are quite a lot of women and girls in Xiaohuangzhuang now. It would be a good idea to find these people to come over. Firstly, it will be her food, and secondly, it will also generate extra income for them, making their lives easier in the future. .

New workshops began to open one after another, but the manpower was still not enough.

Just when Huo Junyao was worried again, Xiaochan brought good news. All the people in the village where she originally lived had arrived in the capital.

As soon as she heard the news, Huo Junyao hurriedly left the villa and headed straight for the Ten Thousand Acres Manor.

It was promised at the beginning that when they arrived, they would arrange to go there first. After all, there were more than a hundred households, or at least hundreds of people, and her hot spring resort could not accommodate them.

The resettlement yard at Ten Thousand Mu Manor has already been completed, and the remaining ones will not take much time.

"Sir, why haven't you seen Yao Yatou?"

In the Ten Thousand Acres Manor, a little old man with gray hair and a sallow complexion wearing patchwork clothes looked at the person who brought them into the capital with some fear, then lowered his head and asked carefully.

"Old man, although this is the princess's manor, the princess does not live here. Someone has already reported it. Please wait for a while."
