Her farm is seriously short of manpower. After all, those chicken farms, duck farms, pastures, orchards, vegetable gardens, flower bases... all need people.
Moreover, through disaster relief, she immediately made Shen Mingzhu and Xiao Xian famous. Everyone outside would say that they are living bodhisattvas.
Nowadays, Shen Mingzhu has gained all the connections and reputation, and there is nothing left to lose.
If someone wants to spread rumors and speak ill of them again, then they need to consider public opinion.
Especially something like the Ten Thousand Words Book, it will never happen again.
Now that we have people and reputation, there will naturally be no shortage of financial benefits.
Not only will these people make money in the future, but a good reputation will also bring good benefits, such as the increase in production efficiency due to the adoption of many mechanical production methods in her farm, which will lead to more grain harvests.
Especially for coarse grains, people have limited food, and even those livestock have limited food. After all, with scientific feeding, there are more suitable things for livestock.
The rice noodles are easier to deal with and sold.
But some coarse grains were not profitable to sell, and might even cause chaos in the grain market and cause prices to plummet, so Shen Mingzhu had people stay in the warehouse.
She planned to use it to make large quantities of wine and vinegar, but the imperial court had a prohibition on wine. Except for a few large wine-making workshops, it was not allowed to make wine casually. She had to go through the back door and get the wine-making order from the emperor.
However, it is estimated that we have to wait until next year, so last year's old grain will have to rot and be used as fertilizer.
But because of the special method of retting, there is really no shortage of fertilizer.
Therefore, when used for disaster relief, it can be said that the light and heat of those grains are used to the greatest extent possible, and not a single grain of them is wasted.
And when they heard that she was going to build a monument to her merits, many of the big business owners started sending money here.
The more was tens of thousands, the less was only one thousand. The queen was the first to send someone 10,000 taels of makeup money.
By then, she would be able to raise hundreds of thousands of taels of silver without even asking her to ask.
Even if she returned most of it, there would still be almost a hundred thousand taels of silver left in her hands.
On the surface, the money seems to be used to buy grain, but in fact, there is enough grain in her granary. It would be better to empty it out and have new grain this year.
So the one hundred thousand taels of silver should be regarded as a reward for her.
Naturally, she would not tell Yeluen this, and no one would tell her except Xiao Xian and her own people.
Let others think she was taken advantage of and spent her own money to continue disaster relief.
The Shen family all thought she was spending her mother's dowry, and people outside thought she was spending money from Prince Yan's palace.
Haha, she laughed so hard.
By the end of March, except for some victims who were willing to stay and obtained household registration here through Shen Mingzhu's relationship, almost all others returned to their hometowns.
The emperor also sent Xiao Che to thoroughly investigate the local officials, beheading several people, dismissing more than a dozen people from office, and exiled more than a dozen people.
He won great love from the people, and they all shouted that His Majesty the Emperor is wise.
At this point, the disaster incident has been successfully resolved.
Yeluen saw a bright future, so he immediately reported to His Majesty the Emperor, requesting that Shen Mingzhu be sent to the Kingdom of Jin to help them.
As for all the conditions of Da Qin, they are willing to agree.
Even though they are not vassals, the countries still stand side by side, which can be regarded as helping each other.
