Having said that, Fang Qiao couldn't help but feel a little worried in his heart.

Battles with the gentry have always been dangerous, and some people can do anything for the sake of profit.

However, the emperor's order has been issued, and he is also a virtuous minister dedicated to the people, and if he has an opportunity to work for the well-being of the people, even if it is difficult and dangerous, he should give it a try.

Just when the imperial court was in full swing, promoting corn and re-measuring the land.

Huo Junyao has already planned several workshops here, and they are not high-end things.

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

Of course, in terms of concept, it is far more than the Yu Dynasty, as I said earlier, the Yu Dynasty is similar to the early Tang Dynasty where she was in her previous life, so it is still more popular to have things like tatami mats.

Although the furniture is also relatively successful in all aspects, it is still a lot worse than some ideas in later generations.

No, the rocking chair she got for herself in front of her is very popular with everyone.

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

However, the price of this kind of thing is relatively not too high, fortunately, it is relatively simple, and there are a lot of half-grown children in her Xiaohuangzhuang, and they don't have any skills.

So she asked her father for more than a dozen carpenters, and arranged apprentices for each of them, of course, it was not free, and she gave some money to those craftsmen who were willing to take apprentices.

After all, in ancient times, this thing would not be passed on for no reason.

This is also some of her upfront investment, she needs manpower, especially the kind of people who master the craft, instead of asking her father to borrow it, it is better to train a batch by herself.

If I have any new ideas in the future, I don't have to worry about no one using them.

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

Since we want to build infrastructure, we must get cement and lime.

In addition, these newly built clay kilns can also be used to fire glass, after all, these things are very low-cost things.

Glass is also available in the Yu Dynasty, but it is called glaze, which is a treasure popular in the upper circles.

In this regard, she just smiled and didn't speak, and wondered if she could hack those upper-level personnel a lot after her first batch of glass came out.

In addition to that, she set her sights on sugar.

Yu Dynasty's sugar is still the kind of large sugar with more impurities and yellowish color, and the taste is not very good.

But Rao is so, these things are also affordable for the rich and powerful.

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

As for the people at the bottom, although the market is not small, to be honest, the Yu Dynasty is too poor, and although it is okay to earn their money, it is definitely not as fast as these guys in the upper class.

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

"Well, bring it all."

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

Although she can't do the refined salt business yet, she still needs to ensure her own use, and she can't get used to the kind of salt in the Yu Dynasty.

When the tool arrived, Huo Junyao directly started it in person, and Xiaochan and Red Sleeves Wangxia helped to get started.

After a whole day of tinkering, I finally purified all the large yellowed sugars, and then dried up the water and waited for crystallization, the process was relatively long, Huo Junyao handed it over to the next person to get it, and also gave instructions.

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

They never dreamed that one day they would be able to see such pure and beautiful sugar.

"Try them all."

Huo Junyao's words fell, and several people took a spoon and put it in their mouths, and their eyes widened for a moment.

"That's too sweet, isn't it?"

"Forget Xia, you remember all the steps and everything, right?"

Xiaochan and Red Sleeves have already arranged things, and Forget Xia was originally to help keep an eye on the crops, but with the appearance of Xiaohuangzhuang and 10,000 acres of manor, and more professional farmers appeared, she was fine.

Although the process of white sugar is nothing in later generations, it is a very advanced process in the current Yu Dynasty, and it can make a lot of money.

Handed over to someone she is not familiar with, Huo Junyao is still a little uneasy in her heart, even if she will help spread this process herself in the future, but she has to eat the first wave of dividends first.

So, after thinking about it, she planned to hand over this matter to Forget Xia to be responsible.

"The slaves and maids have written it down, but they are not familiar with it yet."

"It doesn't matter if you're not familiar with it, the tools are here, you go to Mama Xi and then go outside to buy some large pieces of sugar back, you try to purify a small amount yourself, this is very simple, you do it a few more times to get acquainted."

"When you get acquainted, come back to me, and I'll give you some arrangements."

Forget Xia nodded, went to find Xi Mama that day, and then returned to his place with tools and closed the door and tinkered.

At the same time, Huo Junyao also asked Red Sleeves to arrange for someone to make the white sugar factory, but he did not specifically indicate that the factory needs to be separated.

She has already planned to use the assembly line method to work, which is efficient and can effectively prevent the workers from mastering all the steps.

This is not her villain, make money, think more carefully, don't stumble.

In the next few days, Lixia had successfully become proficient, and Huo Junyao also informed her of the arrangement of the assembly line, and as for how to find someone, it was all handed over to Lixia.

Now there are still more women and little girls in Xiaohuangzhuang, and it is not bad to find these people to come, firstly, they are her food, and secondly, they also give them additional income, so that the future life will be better.

New workshops are starting to be started one after another, but there are not enough people.

Just when Huo Junyao was worried again, Xiaochan brought good news that 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 went straight to the 10,000-mu manor.

It was explained at the beginning, and after they arrived, they directly arranged it first, after all, there were more than 100 households, not to mention hundreds of people, and her hot spring villa could not be arranged.

And the resettlement yard on the side of the 10,000-mu manor has already been completed, and the rest of it won't take much time.

"My lord, why didn't you see Yao girl?"

In the 10,000-mu manor, a little old man with gray hair, a sallow complexion and a patched cloth coat glanced at the person who took them into Beijing with some fear, and then lowered his head and asked carefully.

"Old man, although this is the county lord's manor, the county lord does not live here, someone has already gone to report it, you are waiting for a while."
