This Side Effect is Awesome

After receiving a large number of precious medicinal materials from Hao Jiyong, Song Ankang no longer worried so much, and then he can practice and improve with all his strength with peace of mind.

Song Ankang's strength began to grow rapidly again, and the medicinal material processing business of Chaoyun Grange was also getting better and better, and the profits he could earn every day were getting higher and higher day by day.

The second batch of apprentices have been sent out one after another, and they can process more medicinal materials, and the work of collecting medicinal materials is also proceeding smoothly.

Because the purchase price given by Song Ankang was slightly higher than the market price, a large number of medicinal materials were quickly purchased, and not only the basic medicinal materials for processing, but also many follow-up Chaoyun Tianzhuang ready to process medicinal materials.

Even with Hua Chuntang's size, the amount of these basic medicinal materials that can be absorbed is limited, and it should be saturated in about two months. Before that, Chaoyun Farm must open up new sources of income.

In addition, Song Ankang also arranged manpower to contact other pharmacies, and he couldn't entrust all the business to Hua Chuntang.

With so many people in Chaoyun Grange, as more and more people have mastered the deep processing of medicinal materials, more and more medicinal materials can be processed, and sooner or later the supply will exceed demand.

After all, the number of pharmacists in Huachuntang is limited, so they can't use so many basic medicinal materials, and they have to spend a lot of time refining other pills.

Song Ankang handed over these matters to Wang Yuliang. He was mainly responsible for teaching the apprentices in the workshop. He specialized in arts. Song Ankang was not good at management, so it was better to leave it to someone who was good at it.

Of course, this does not rule out the suspicion of laziness. Fortunately, Wang Yuliang's performance is very good, and with Hao Jiyong's assistance, the business of the workshop is getting better and better.

More than one hundred people from Chaoyun Tianzhuang have joined the processing workshop, specializing in serving the processing workshop, handling different businesses such as medicinal material processing, medicinal material acquisition, medicinal material transportation, and market development, so that these people have an extra income.

In order to allow all the tenants of Chaoyun Grange to survive this year's difficulties, Song Ankang specially asked Wang Yuliang to recruit one member from each family into the processing workshop, so that everyone has a chance.

As the scale of the processing workshop expands, the subsequent processing workshop will also recruit more tenants into the processing workshop, and even if it reaches a certain level in the future, it may not recruit people from outside Chaoyun Farm.

Of course, Chaoyun Farm has enough manpower at present, and there are even a large number of vacant tenants who hope to enter the processing workshop, so there is no need to recruit apprentices and buddies from outside for the time being.

Song Ankang also gave these tenants who entered the processing workshop generous remuneration, at least in the eyes of these tenants, it was very generous. In fact, more than 70% of the profits still went into Song Ankang's pockets.

In order to mobilize everyone's enthusiasm, Song Ankang specially asked Wang Yuliang to formulate corresponding remuneration levels, and give more rewards to those who perform well and work more seriously and responsibly.

As soon as this system appeared, it immediately caused an uproar in Chaoyun Farm. All the tenants who entered the processing workshop began to work harder and earn more rewards.

In just half a month or so, almost all the family life in Chaoyun Grange has become easier, everyone has renewed hope, and the atmosphere in the farm is getting better day by day.

Even so, everyone still takes a certain amount of time to go outside to pick wild vegetables, weeds and leaves, and save up a little bit, waiting for the arrival of winter.

The industrious and simple tenants of Chaoyun Farm almost didn't waste any time. In order to meet the cold winter in a few months, everyone tried their best to accumulate as many resources as possible.

"The owner's processing workshop is really too much. My boy can earn dozens of copper coins every day, which is enough for our family to use for several days, and he can save a lot."

"Yes, yes, I have never seen such a grand owner in Shili Baxiang. Our youngest daughter is an apprentice in a processing workshop, and she can get nearly a hundred copper coins a day. We all use it to buy food.

"

"Now that the price of grain is rising day by day, we should stock up on more grain, otherwise we will have to spend several times more to buy it later."

"I think so. These grains can still be stored. If the farm can't pay taxes this year, we can also take some out for the owner. The owner is so kind to us, and we should also solve the problems for the owner."

"That's right, during this period of time, both the apprentices and the transport workers have damaged a lot of medicinal materials, and even some processed ones. As a result, the owner of the village didn't ask them to compensate, but also paid them full wages. It is a living Bodhisattva."

...

Thanks to the prosperity of the processing workshop, Song Ankang's prestige, status, and reputation in Chaoyun Grange have exploded, and he has faintly become the savior of Chaoyun Grange.

As life gets better and better, many tenants are more grateful and respectful of Song Ankang.

Everything is developing for the better, but this is only in Chaoyun Grange, and outside Chaoyun Grange, more and more villages have fallen into unprecedented panic.

So many days have passed, and there is still no rain. This year's crops will basically not have much harvest, and it is almost hopeless. Many villagers are afraid that they will not even be able to pay their taxes.

Moreover, there is news among the top officials of the imperial court that not only will taxes not be reduced this year, but taxes may also be increased.

At the beginning, many villagers were dissatisfied, but as the reason spread, all the villagers died down.

There is no other reason, not only the human race suffered an unprecedented drought this year, but the angel race and the mermaid race, the biggest enemies of the human race, were even more severely affected, and the harvest was less than half of last year's.

In this case, the food of the Angels and Mermaids could not feed the people. In order to survive the crisis, the Angels and Mermaids would definitely launch a war against the Humans and plunder the resources and wealth of the Humans.

A large number of Xia Kingdom's troops have set out on the Celestial-Man Front and the Mermaid Front, and it is possible to start a war with the Angel Race and the Mermaid Race at any time. There are external and internal troubles, and all the people must tighten their belts and pay more taxes. Brace the front lines of war.

Therefore, it is necessary to pay more taxes. The soldiers on the front line cannot be killed for them when they are hungry. It doesn't matter if they are hungry, and the soldiers on the front line cannot be hungry.

It is precisely because of understanding that I am becoming more and more anxious.

Many villages outside Chaoyun Farm are desperately collecting wild vegetables, weeds and leaves, and even venture into places where demons and ghosts are rampant, such as red leaf forests.

Even so, the harvest was getting less and less, and it caused even greater disasters, affecting Chaoyun Grange.
