Li Yan went to the study room upstairs. This study room was also prepared by Zhao Lin. There were some books in it, but there weren't many. There were some accounting books and other things, but he didn't lack paper and pens.
To Li Yan's surprise, the pens here were divided into several types. Some were made of bird feathers, some were made of beast bones, some were made of metal like fountain pens, some were made of brushes, and some were made of charcoal. There were things that looked like pens. They were a combination of the East and the West, both ancient and modern. It really opened Li Yan's eyes.
However, Li Yan did not dare to compliment the paper. It was not the white paper that Li Yan had imagined. It was yellow, similar to the kraft paper that Li Yan had seen when he was young. The paper was very hard and much more dry than kraft paper.
Upon seeing this, Li Yan could not help but be stunned and speechless. In his previous memories, there were many romantic and sensual matters. However, he had no memories of things like pens and paper. It could be seen what kind of person he was in the past.
Li Yan picked up the charcoal pencil and drew the shape of the stone mill and roller on the paper. Then, he handed it to Ann.
Ann glanced at the paper and immediately said,""Young Master, I can make this thing. We usually use similar things to harvest rice. Although it's not exactly the same, it's almost the same.”
Li Yan nodded in relief and said,""Good, it's good that you can do it. Zhao Xuan, arrange for 40 men to follow An Xue to make these two things. Make a few more. These are used to make rice and noodles.”
Zhao Xuan replied. Li Yan continued,"The remaining ten men will go to the mountain to mow the grass and cut off all the hay. Then, let the women learn how to weave grass from Li Dou. You have to hang straw mats in all the houses in the shortest time possible. Oh right, if anyone else knows how to find you, you have to let me know. Also, tell those slaves that if they feel that it's too cold to sleep on the ground, they can spread the corn stalks outside on the ground. We don't have enough supplies now, so we can't let them sleep on the beds. However, sleeping on the ground all the time would also make one sick. A few more layers of cornstalks could also be used as a bed.”
Zhao Xuan nodded. He also knew that the slaves had nothing to do. Li Yan's land had not been improved, and the mine was almost cleaned. There was really nothing to do now.
After giving his instructions, Li Yan and the others came out of the study. They had just walked to the living room when they met Li Na. Breakfast was already prepared, and Li Na was here to call them for breakfast.
At the dining table, Li Yan told Li Na about his arrangements. Li Na did not object. She really needed to use some of the rice and noodles. Li Yan's arrangements were the best.
After the meal, Zhao Xuan immediately followed Li Yan's arrangements and assigned the people. She asked Gou Dan to lead An and the others to find suitable stones to make the roller and millstone. She was in charge of the women's duties, and everyone sat there weaving straw mats.
The entire castle became busy, but Li Yan and Li Na were not in the castle. The two of them went to the canyon from the lake in the mountains. This time, there were only the two of them. Anyway, there was no danger. It would be easier for Li Na to bring one less person with her.
The two of them walked on the waves and soon arrived at the canyon. Li Yan walked to the improved land from yesterday and took a look. There was no change. Then, he improved another piece of land beside that piece of land. It was still ten mu.
Seeing that Li Yan had finished improving the land, Li Na turned to Li Yan and said,"Young Master, why don't we get those slaves to turn over the soil here tomorrow and plant these fields first?”
Li Yan shook his head. He still wanted to use this piece of land for an experiment. He would not forget the hint when he touched the small shovel for the first time. The small shovel could be used outside the space. It could also plow ten mu of land outside every day. Similarly, he also wanted to know if the seeds and water in the space were still under his control after being brought out of the space. If they were still under his control, he could plant ten mu of land every day.
Seeing Li Yan shake his head, Li Na knew that he must have something else to do, so she didn't say anything else. She just looked at Li Yan, not knowing what else he wanted to do.
With a thought, Li Yan's small shovel immediately flew out of the space and started to dig the ground. Li Yan immediately thought about sowing the seeds. As expected, the corn seeds immediately flew out of the space and landed on the ground that had just been dug up. Li Yan went over to take a look worriedly and found that the seeds had been buried. Li Yan was relieved.
However, Li Yan also discovered a problem. The shovel, the seeds, and everything in the space could not leave the range of ten mu of land. They could only move within this range and could not do anything too complicated. For example, the shovel could only plow the ground and could not do anything else. The seeds could only be planted in the ground and could not do anything else. Li Yan wanted to try the space water, but there was no way. The space water had been used to improve the land. Today, he couldn't use the water in his space to show it to the outside world.
Li Yan was actually still a little dissatisfied. If the water in the space could really change according to his thoughts, it might be able to become an offensive weapon for him. Unfortunately, after the water in the space came out of the space, it could only be used to water the soil. It could not do anything else.
Compared to Li Yan's dissatisfaction, Li Na was extremely shocked. She had never expected Li Yan to be able to use such a method to farm. This was too amazing.
Two hours later, the ten acres of land were planted. The small shovel automatically flew back into the space, and the seeds naturally no longer appeared. Although it was only ten acres of land, Li Yan was still very satisfied. He could only improve ten acres a day, and planting another ten acres was just right.
Seeing that the land was planted, Li Yan turned to Li Na and said,"Grandma Li Na, can you use water magic to water this ground?”
Li Na came back to her senses and nodded. She walked to the side of the pool and chanted an incantation in a low voice. This time, she chanted for a longer time. Soon, a ball of water vapor rose from the pool. Then, the water vapor accumulated in the air and slowly turned into a light rain that fell.
Li Yan once again felt the wonder of magic. This was like artificial rainfall. This was too amazing.
In fact, Li Yan did not know that not all Mages could do this. Only high-level Mages like Li Na could do this. Moreover, this was only an auxiliary spell, not an offensive spell. It was much simpler than an offensive spell.
Li Na's control over magic was impeccable. In a short while, the soil in the ground had become very moist, and she immediately stopped her magic.
Li Yan looked at the ten acres of land and felt a sense of accomplishment. He turned to Li Na and said,"Grandma Li Na, although the plants here can't mature as quickly as in the space, this is the foundation for us to settle down. I'm afraid that the space will disappear one day, so I'm in a hurry to improve the land.”
Hearing Li Yan's words, Li Na's expression changed. She hurriedly said,"May the gods bless us. I hope that there will be no news from Young Master's space.”
Li Yan smiled and turned his head." Alright, Grandma Li Na. I can only improve ten acres of land a day. Let's go back."”Li Na nodded and followed Li Yan into the cave.
Although treading on the waves was a little too much, Li Yan still hoped that he could get on the boat a day earlier. However, not only did they not have the materials to build a boat, but they also did not have anyone who knew how to build a boat. Therefore, he could only think about it now.
As soon as the two of them came out of the cave, they heard the sound of a horn coming from a small cave not far away. Li Yan and Li Na looked in the direction of the sound and saw Gou Dan leading An and the others to carry a piece of rock out of the cave.
Li Yan hurriedly walked over. He first took a look at the stone. Of course, he could not tell whether the stone was good or bad. He only wanted to see if the stone was big enough.
That's right. The shape of this stone was not very regular. It was about 1.5 meters tall, with the smallest diameter of about three meters and the largest diameter of about five meters. One look and one could tell that it was not light. Goudan and the others took a lot of ropes and tied the stone up, carrying it out of the cave bit by bit.
Li Yan quickly said," Alright, put the stone down. I'll take him back. You guys go do something else."”
An and the others looked at Li Yan in confusion, but Gou Dan knew what was going on. Li Yan wanted to put the stone back into his space, but he didn't explain to An and the others. He immediately said,""Alright, everyone, put down this stone and continue to mine in the cave. We don't have to worry about this.”
Although An and the others did not understand, they did not dare to disobey Li Yan's words. They immediately placed the stone on the ground, and the stone asked them to untie the rope on the stone.
Seeing that there was no longer any rope on the stone, Li Yan waved his hand and put the stone into the spatial warehouse. Ann and the others were dumbfounded. They had never seen such a magical ability before. Although there were spatial equipment on this continent, those things were usually owned by some big nobles. Even small nobles could not afford it. Slaves like Ann and the others had never even heard of it, let alone use it.
However, Ann and the others also knew how magical magic was. They thought that Li Yan was using magic, so they were extremely excited."So Master is a powerful mage.”
Li Yan ignored them and immediately followed Li Na in the direction of the castle. On the way, he saw a few slaves cutting hay on the mountain.
This time, Li Yan did not help them transport the grass back. Grass was very loose, so the slaves could bring it back themselves.
When the two of them returned to the castle, they found many women sitting in the square of the castle. These women were led by Zhao Xuan and Li Dou and were weaving straw mats. Some women were carrying cornstalks from outside the castle and walking towards the houses where the slaves lived.
