After Li Yuanqing left, Liu Paner was a little bored, but fortunately, she had children by her side, and there were things to deal with in the fields and workshops.

The battle report was sent to General Zhao in a fiefdom, and there were some letters from home with it.

Seeing these letters, Liu Paner was a little relieved.

Time flies, and it's autumn.

The leaves began to turn yellow, falling from the trees and whirling to the ground.

The wheat planted by Liu Paner was golden when you looked at the past.

The pimples underneath the beets were growing bigger and bigger, and they were about to be harvested.

Corn ripens the fastest, and farmers have begun to break it.

Some corn stalks are a little old and cannot be used as green fodder, but green corn leaves can still be used as fodder.

Even some of the tender corn stalks are left behind for green fodder.

These things can be used to feed cows, sheep and horses.

Now there are a lot of things in the house, and these feeds are needed.

Corn cobs are longer than the palm of a human hand, and the kernels are quite full.

Gu Shao received the following statistics and learned that the corn planted by Liu Paner was actually higher than the yield of corn grown in the local fertile fields.

I remember the last time he asked Liu Paner why wheat and corn grown better in sandy soil?

At that time, Liu Paner said that because of the drought in the north, there is this sand, and the surface layer of the soil can better retain the moisture in the soil.

With enough moisture to cope with enough sunshine in the north, crops grow better.

The yield of harvested sweet potatoes is also very high, so keep some and sell the rest for use to make vermicelli.

When people have money to spare, they can buy other things.

When they heard that the yield of wheat was as high as 600 catties, the locals came to see it.

Some even volunteered to help Mrs. Dre harvest wheat.

When Li Li came back from the field, "Aunt Liu, many people around Sangcheng have come to our house to harvest wheat." It was supposed to take half a day to complete the harvest, but I didn't expect it to be harvested in 10 days. ”

Liu Paner reminded, "Those who come to help must be paid, and they cannot be deducted." If the stewards below deduct their wages, they will all be arrested by me. ”

Li Li smiled, "Aunt Liu, the stewards below did not deduct wages, but these local people, they don't want wages, they want wheat seeds." They all said that our wheat was full and the ears were large. ”

Liu Pan'er was surprised, and immediately understood, "Then discount and give them wheat." ”

"Well, with the seeds, they will be able to grow high-yielding wheat next year." Li Li replied, "One acre of land here will cost them, and they will have three acres of land." ”

Liu Pan'er thought for a while and reminded, "By the way, tell them how to make fertilizer and fertilize, in addition, half of the remaining wheat will be handed over to the prefect of Sangcheng, and when the time comes, the wheat will be distributed to each family." ”

The remaining half of the grain, Liu Paner is ready to give 100,000 troops.

There is enough food, and only a part of the rice needs to be transferred from the south.

Li Rong ran back from outside happily, "Mother, the beets have grown big enough, and some of the leaves on them have turned yellow, can you harvest them?" ”

Liu Pan'er's eyes lit up, "Calculate the time, it should be possible." ”

Li Nan on the side, "Mother, the beets must be delicious, I want to eat them." ”

Liu Pan'er pinched Li Nan's little face, "Beetroot is not very delicious, but it can be made into sugar." The stems and leaves of sugar beets can be dried to make feed, which can be used to feed rabbits, sheep and cattle. ”

Li Nan urged, "Mother, then what are you waiting for?" Let's make candy quickly! ”

Liu Pan'er pursed her lips and smiled, "By the time you urge, the daylilies are cold, and your eldest brother has already led people to build a sugar making workshop and improve the sugar making process." ”

"Wait until the beets are harvested in large quantities, make the sugar, and then take you to see it. You just wait at home to eat. ”

The old farmers in the field gathered around the sugar beet field, very curious, Mrs. Drey's turnips grew quite big.

The stewards explained, "When you pull the beets, be careful, try to get the mud off the top, by the way, don't damage the beet leaves, this can be used as feed." ”

Old man Wang looked at the "beets" on the ground, and realized that this was not a radish, "Steward Xu, is this beet sweet?" ”

Steward Xu replied: "Of course it's sweet, but it's not delicious to eat raw, and it can be made into sugar." ”

"Huh?" Old man Wang was surprised, "Sugar is very expensive, can this beet also be sold for money?" ”

Steward Xu nodded, "Of course, do a good job, our wife said, as long as you come to work at home, you will have a strip, and next year you will be able to receive a thousand beet seeds with the strip." Free, no money. ”

When Old Man Wang heard this, he was immediately pleasantly surprised, "Then what are you waiting for, hurry up and get to work." What Mrs. Drey's promotion must be good. ”

Everyone thought so, and hurried to work to get the beet seeds.

As more and more beets are harvested, beetroot and beet leaves are sorted and placed.

Cleaned beets, shredded and then soaked in water to make oozing juice......

There are a lot of steps, but sugar beets have a high sugar content, a very high key yield, and are easy to grow, so they can be an important source of sugar in the north.

After the process of removing impurities, crystallization, etc., the off-white sugar is finally obtained.

With the existing means, it is not possible to completely remove the impurities inside, and it is not easy to get such sugar.

Liu Paner reached out and pinched a little and put it in her mouth, it was really sweet.

Even if this quality is not as good as the frosting sugar in the south, but the output is large and the price is lower, and the common people may be able to buy a little.

Li Dabao was not satisfied, he began to improve the process, and the color of the sugar produced became whiter and whiter, close to white.

This kind of sugar is of high quality and the price can be higher.

Liu Paner was very satisfied when she saw the candy made.

"Thank you for your hard work, everyone will be paid double their wages this month." Liu Paner immediately rewarded everyone, and it was the efforts of these craftsmen that led to the current results.

Li Dabao looked at Liu Pan'er with admiration, "Mother, if it weren't for the methods you provided, I might have to explore for a long time." Even if we can find a suitable solution in the end, it will not be so fast. ”

Liu Pan'er smiled, "This is also my conjecture, you have turned my idea into reality." ”

"Mrs. Cheadrey!" Everyone is grateful, the salary is a lot, and now it has doubled this month, so it is even more, and there is also a reward during the New Year's holiday.

They cherish the opportunity to work in the workshop.

Leaving from the workshop, Liu Paner brought back a few packets of candy and specially asked someone to send some to the ninth princess.

The ninth princess was also quite curious when she got the candy that Liu Paner sent when she was not very comfortable and refreshing every month.

"I really didn't expect those things that look like radishes to be able to make sugar!" The ninth princess smiled, secretly admiring the sister of the righteous knot Jin Lan in her heart, it was really amazing.
