That day, Si Nong came running in from outside with an excited look on his face, and said excitedly, "Madam, the corn can be harvested now."
Wang Jinhe looked at the excited Si Nong with a surprised look on his face, and asked in amazement: "It's all possible?"
The corn matured earlier this year.
Si Nong nodded happily, "It's indeed ready. And the corn cob is really big, a whole circle bigger than ordinary corn."
The corn yield this year will definitely be high.
Thinking about the corn yield that would soon be known, Si Nong became more and more excited.
Wang Jinhe reached out and touched his chin, and suddenly thought of the magic tool for removing corn kernels, which was used in his hometown in the countryside.
"Si Nong, you guys take care of arranging the time to harvest the corn. I'm going to get something good." After saying that, he went back to the study and didn't know what to do.
Si Nong turned to look at his colleagues beside him and asked in confusion: "Why does it seem like the princess doesn't care?"
"The princess told us the method to grow corn. I'm sure you know how much the yield per acre is."
The people beside him nodded in agreement: "You are right, it is true."
Si Nong and others began to prepare for harvesting corn, while Wang Jinhe went to the study to prepare the tool for peeling corn.
He took the blueprint to Yuan Xu and said, "Yuan Xu, have someone prepare a hundred of these for me, the sooner the better."
Yuan Xu looked at the things on the picture and asked in confusion: "Madam, what is this?"
"This? A magical tool for peeling corn." Wang Jinhe couldn't help laughing after he said this.
Yuan Xu, who was standing next to him, looked at Wang Jinhe in bewilderment. How could this piece of iron be used to peel corn? It didn't look like it at all.
"Hurry up and get someone to get it out. We'll need it after the corn is harvested." Wang Jinhe saw Yuan Xu standing there and urged him without knowing what he was thinking.
Yuan Xu shrugged. Since his wife said it was okay, he should just stop asking questions and get to work.

The next day, Si Nong and his farmhands began to harvest corn. The farmhands were stunned when they broke off the corn cobs.
"This stick is too big, comparable to the previous two."
"The county lady is so amazing that she can do this."
"Yes, the reality is that high-yield rice now has high-yield corn, which is great."
Listening to what the farmhand said, Si Nong and the others were happier than hearing themselves being praised.
"Everyone has to get busy. After you are done, the county lady will give everyone red envelopes."
The farmhands couldn't help laughing when they heard what Si Nong said, but what Si Nong said was not wrong. After every spring plowing and autumn harvest, the county lord would give each of them a red envelope.
No matter how much money is in it, it is a token of their thoughtfulness after all.
"Okay, everyone, hurry up and get the corn harvested while the weather is good."
It took all the farmhands half a month to harvest all the corn.
After the ones in the back are harvested, the ones in the front are already dry.
Everyone was happy looking at the corn cobs in the warehouse, but threshing became a problem. How long would it take to thresh so many corn cobs
When Si Nong was worried, Wang Jinhe took Yuan Xu to the warehouse.
Seeing everyone busy threshing corn by hand, he called everyone over and said, "Everyone stop for a moment. I made something that can be used to thresh corn. Come and take a look."
As soon as Wang Jinhe said this, everyone stopped what they were doing and ran over to see what Wang Jinhe was holding.
Wang Jinhe placed the threshing machine on the bench and tightened it. Then he put the corn cobs in and turned the handle three or four times. Then all the corn kernels came out.
The farmhand's eyes sparkled as he looked at the thing: "Madam, this thing is so useful, isn't it?"
"Yes, with this thing we can shell all the corn quickly." Each of them can shell a lot of corn cobs in a day.
Yuan Xu didn't expect that this seemingly small piece of iron would be so useful. It saved a lot of time, and it was small and didn't take up much space.
Someone brought the things in and each farmhand took one. They also went to get a bench, installed the things according to Wang Jinhe's previous installation steps and started using them.

Soon, there was a pile of corn kernels under everyone's feet.
Si Nong was so happy when he saw this scene: "Madam, you are amazing. You can make something like this. If it can be popularized in places where corn is grown a lot, it will save everyone a lot of effort."
Wang Jinhe shook his head and said with amusement: "This is just a lazy way for a lazy person."
"But this method is really good, and this thing is really very practical." Si Nong thought that Wang Jinhe was just too modest.
Wang Jinhe smiled helplessly and shook her head. Whatever they said was what it was. No matter what she said, they would have something else to say.
The corn here has been harvested, and the cotton planted over there can basically be harvested. The people who went to teach the people how to grow cotton before went again to teach them how to pick cotton and how to remove the seeds. They also told them that the cotton will be purchased at the government office in the future, and the government office will notify them of the specific time.
The cotton-growing people were completely relieved when they heard this.
When they were planting, they were still a little worried about what to do if the county lord didn't want the crops. Now it seems that they were overthinking.
Now all we have to do is harvest the cotton, dry it and prepare to sell it.
While the people were preparing to harvest cotton, Wang Jinhe's corn threshing was already coming to an end.

After ten days, all the corn was threshed and dried.
Looking at the pile of corn kernels, Si Nong was eager to try and was very excited.
"Why haven't you come yet?"
"Sir, don't be anxious. It's still early." The steward next to him was already familiar with Si Nong. Seeing how anxious he was, he spoke soothingly.
"The county lady has two children at home, so she must take good care of them before coming. Don't worry."
Si Nong waited for a while but couldn't wait any longer, so he turned around and went out to see. As soon as he went out, he saw Wang Jinhe and his wife coming in, each holding a child, and there were four other little ones around them.
"So many corns." Xiaobao said in surprise as he looked at the large amount of corns piled up in the warehouse.
"Mom is so awesome." Xiaozhi said after turning around.
Wang Jinhe couldn't help but laugh as he listened to the conversation between the two: "How much candy did you two eat today to say something like that?"
"Aunt is very powerful." Changle also spoke from the side.

Xiaobao and Xiaozhi looked at each other and said in unison: "We didn't eat the candy, we are telling the truth."
Wang Jinhe smiled and shook his head, looking at Si Nong who had come out to look for them in a hurry and said with amusement: "Si Nong, are you worried that we won't come?"
Si Nong coughed lightly and said, "I'm either worried that Madam won't come or that it's too late to finish the weighing."
"That's not necessary. Yuan Xu, go call all the soldiers guarding here, and bring in the scales we prepared."
Originally, Wang Jinhe planned to weigh only the total amount of ten acres of land and then take the average, but Si Nong refused to do so.
