I am engaged in construction in Datang

"Whose is this? Why don't you wash it?"

"Mr. Wang's." Li Yingwu's face completely fell. The owner of the manor wouldn't blame him, right?

Li Yin grabbed Wang Erya's linen clothes, lifted her head, and looked around for a long while: "You are a girl, why are you so untidy?"

Suddenly, Wang Erya's face turned red.

"I'm a girl!" she emphasized. Was the owner's focus wrong?

Li Yin frowned and said coldly: "What's wrong with girls? Can girls be unhygienic and not like to take a bath?"

Wang Erya: “…”

Although he was exposed, he was not panicked but rather angry. Why?

"It's a little girl?" Li Yingwu shouted. How could he not see it? He had dragged the little girl to take a bath before. He was too embarrassed to see anyone!

Then he looked at Wang Dahai: "What's wrong with you? Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Wang Dahai: “…”

Still dizzy.

"Master!" Feng Sanxi came running from a distance: "Some students are coming outside."

Li Yin asked Xiaochun to take the maid to wash up while she went to meet the students who came to stay with her.

The houses for the students to live in have been built long ago. There are a total of ten townhouses. Each house has six separate bedrooms with cabinets, desks and chairs, and a living room in the middle.

There are copper pipes in the house. After recruiting Zheng Wen yesterday, Li Yin opened the valve on the biogas tank. It is warm inside now.

It was not yet February when she arrived and the weather was so cold that people were shivering, so she led people to build a biogas digester the next day.

Nowadays, the village relies on biogas for cooking, heating and lighting.

"Master Li!" Zheng Wen felt the warmth all over his body, and tears suddenly flowed down his face.

There were also a few students hiding aside and wiping their tears.

"Brother Zheng, dear friends." Li Yin bowed and said, "I have loved reading since I was young, but due to my gender, I am afraid I will never be able to take the imperial examination in this life."

Li Yin paused for a moment, her eyes showing sadness, and several students followed her in lamenting.

"In the past, I saw students in temples and Taoist temples in the city studying hard and having no time to worry about food and clothing, so I felt a little sympathy. Now that life in our village is relatively affluent, I invite you to stay. I only hope that when you pass the imperial examination next year, you will not forget these bitter and cold days."

The students blushed, too embarrassed to talk about their poverty, and clasped their fists in return.

Li Yin demonstrated the use of biogas lamps to several students, and handed out a copy of the women's village rules and regulations and dormitory living environment protection regulations to each student, then left.

Zheng Wen brought 18 people to select a house and renovate it. The father and daughter of the Wang family also cleaned up. The two groups gathered in the cafeteria together. It was time for dinner.

The meal for the students is hosted by the female farmer.

Now that the Waking of Insects has passed, it is soon time to be busy. It is said that around the time of the Spring Equinox, it is time to grow barley and peas.

"It's time to start selecting seeds." Li Yin took a sip of white porridge, accompanied by pickled radish and cold bamboo shoots.

The weather was still cool in March, and the canteen prepared two kinds of porridge in the evening, white porridge and salty porridge with bean curd and beef. The salty porridge was put with beef cubes, bean curd, fungus, tofu, and dried vegetables, and pepper powder was used to increase the spicy taste.

There were steamed buns, flower rolls, scallion pancakes and beef boxes, a dish of pickled radish, cold bamboo shoots and shredded white radish, and pickled cabbage.

People in the village can cook whatever they want to eat.

Li Yin, Feng Sanxi, Li Xiaochun, Wang Dahai and his daughter, Zheng Wen and others sat at the same table.

"Master Li, now the 18 of us have settled down."

Zheng Wen wanted to stand up and bow again, but was stopped by Feng Sanxi, saying, "The owner of the manor wants to eat!"

"Don't worry, Uncle Sanxi will come to find you after dinner."

Li Yin took a big sip of white porridge and took a bite of a steamed bun. "The class in the village must start on time at the hour of Mao every day. The children have to farm, practice horse riding, and archery after waking up from their lunch break. Sometimes the children have to prepare dinner in the cafeteria, and you have to do these together, so they don't have to study in the afternoon. At night, they go home to consolidate their knowledge, and there will be random checks the next day. There will be tests in the middle and end of each month, and you have to prepare the papers for them. In addition, it will be the Spring Equinox in a few days, and you all have to go to the fields!"

"Uncle Sanxi, get some paper and pen." Li Yin remembered a few more items.

Feng Sanxi put down his chopsticks and took out a piece of white paper and a charcoal pencil from his lapel.

Li Yin picked up the charcoal pencil and wrote on the paper: curved plow, clock, chalk, blackboard.

Then she folded the paper and put it in her pocket. She had to write it down and carry it with her, otherwise she would not remember to make these things.

"Brother Zheng, how are you good at math?" Li Yin still remembered that this person was good at math.

Speaking of the subjects he was good at, Zheng Wen straightened his chest and said, "Master Li, to be honest, I was going to take the math exam."

Wang Erya, who was silently invisible nearby, pricked up her ears.

Now the father and daughter washed themselves inside and out and changed into new clothes. They felt fresh and bright and comfortable all over.

"I have a few books on mathematics here. I would like to ask Brother Zheng to teach the children mathematics every day."

Feng Sanxi sighed, this meal would take a long time.

He turned around and left the table to get the elementary and junior high school mathematics textbooks that Li Yin had compiled earlier. The content in the textbooks had been slightly changed to make them more suitable for people today.

In just a moment, Zheng Wen was fascinated by the elementary school mathematics book.

"Can you show it to me?" Wang Erya was also curious, she was good at arithmetic!

"Are you literate?"

Wang Erya shook her head, dejected. She was illiterate, and the teacher in the village school at that time did not allow her to attend classes.

"Then I'll read it to you."

Li Yin opened the first textbook of elementary school mathematics, pointed at the words and pictures, and explained them to Wang Erya. Li Xiaochun was also learning beside her.

Gradually, more and more children gathered around.

"Understand?" Li Yin felt amused when she saw Wang Erya nodding all the time.

"understood."

"Really understand?" Li Yin glanced at Wang Erya, then turned to ask a smart kid in the village, "Do you understand?"

"..." The child was confused and embarrassed: "I only understand half of it, but you speak too fast and I can't keep up."

"I really understand." Wang Erya said confidently: "I even recognized a few words!"

Li Yin asked Wang Erya a few more questions to confirm that she really understood, and she was pleasantly surprised.

This is a good engineering talent!

We can't let her be lazy, we have to let her study! Let her work in the future!

Seeing that more and more people were gathering around, Feng Sanxi quickly asked everyone to disperse.

The porridge was a little cold, but it didn’t matter. Li Yin picked up the bowl and drank it all, then took a piece of scallion pancake to end this long dinner.

Feng Sanxi went to the students' dormitories, gave each student a set of textbooks, and assigned them tasks in exchange for the right to eat in the cafeteria the next day.

Li Yin went to the residence of Wang Dahai and his daughter. They lived in the same area as the tenants on the village.

"Engineer Wang, take a look at this blueprint." Li Yin handed the curved plow blueprint to Wang Dahai. "Spring plowing is coming soon. We need to produce at least 20 curved plows, otherwise they won't be enough."

For more than 1200 acres of land, according to regulations, enough money must be paid to provide grain, soybeans, cotton and linen, etc. Of course, you can also pay with money, but that is obviously not possible this year.

Li Yin didn't want to make that unique and eye-catching bag without having the ability to do so.

Wang Dahai took a look at the drawing and found that the structure of the curved plow was not complicated.

"Master, to make 20 pieces in three days, we need at least three skilled craftsmen."
