Bai Lin came to the test field in silence, General Zhu was quite reasonable and sent him a few subordinates to be the main force.

When he came to the scene, he saw that the salinization of the land was worse than what he saw on the road before, and the whole land was white, as if it had just snowed.

First of all, all the salinity and alkali on the surface must be removed. Bai Lin led those subordinates and guards to work hard for a whole day before finally finishing it.

"Master, after removing the surface salt, the underground remains, so we can't grow grass."

When the sun was about to set, the servant girl ran over to ask Bai Lin a little dejectedly, she broke a piece of soil, and the inside was also full of white seepage.

"Don't worry, we'll talk about it tomorrow. Tonight, before the pharmacy in the town closes, go and buy some plaster."

The servant girl was stunned when she heard this: "Gypsum?"

What does the master want plaster for?Gypsum is used to treat apoplexy, cold and heat, and it can also relieve muscle sweating and relieve dry mouth and tongue burn.

But now it's not people who are thirsty, but the land. Could it be that gypsum can heal the land?

"Listen to me, here is a few taels of silver. When you go to the town, tell the shopkeeper of the pharmacy to ask him to prepare more plaster in the next few days. We will pick up the goods every day and make an order."

Although the servant girl was dubious, but Bai Lin's previous matter of planting sweet potatoes and defeating the enemy tactically was inconceivable in her eyes, so she headed towards the town without thinking too much.

The next day, Bai Lin specially ordered some of his subordinates to wait until the afternoon when the sun was at its strongest before returning to the field.

"Master, why don't we go? I think a lot of people are talking about the fact that there will be no sprouts in that field, so I have to prove it to them quickly."

Lu Sanqi sat very anxiously, he was still waiting for Bai Lin to successfully control the salinization, not to mention finding an official position when he returned home, at least he could farm one-third of an acre of land.

Bai Lin shook his head and stopped the pen in his hand: "Don't worry, you have to plan and do things step by step. Today's workload is not heavy, and you can't pull up the crops and force them to grow."

His words made several guards from farming families feel very reasonable. Indeed, even if they are in a hurry, the farmers still use the annual farming unit. I have never heard of anyone who pours more water and fertilizes the crops several times more. It can mature overnight.

Bai Lin was well versed in this, and handed the blueprint in his hand to Lu Sanqi: "Since you are in a hurry, I will assign you a separate task, go to the town to find a carpenter, and ask him to make a few pieces according to this blueprint." A wooden shelf, it will come in handy later.”

What Lu Sanqi was most afraid of was being idle, as soon as he heard that he had something to do, he took the blueprints and went out.

Bai Lin then asked the people sent by General Zhu if there were any glassmakers nearby.

According to his understanding, this fictional era should be similar to the Song Dynasty, and the production of glassware should have begun to take shape at this time.

"Glassmaker? Coincidentally, there happens to be an old man Liu five miles away from here. His family is a glass maker. However, during this period of famine, they don't open the door. Who wants to buy those flashy things when they can't eat?"

Bai Lin chuckled when he heard the words: "Who said glass is a flashy thing?"

Several people felt strange when they heard this: "Isn't this a matter of course? The glass is thin and brittle, and has no other use except to look good. It shatters when it is bumped, and it has no practical effect at all."

Bai Lin raised his eyebrows, it seems that it's time to change their traditional ideas here.

"You go and find that old man Liu. We have full authority to guarantee the food and accommodation for his family, as well as the raw materials for production."
