Traveling through ancient times.

During the few days when Jiang Yizhou was away, Yunxin had hired someone to plow all the land and make ridges according to Jiang Yizhou's requirements while other families had not yet started to harvest wheat.

So when Jiang Yizhou brought back the corn seeds, he immediately hired people to plant the corn the next day.

Now is the season with abundant rainfall, so irrigation is very convenient.

Hundreds of acres of land were taken care of in just a few days.

Jiang Yizhou's merits in his account finally accumulated to three hundred, which he immediately exchanged for large white radish seeds and planted on the several hundred acres of mountain land.

Ensure that no land is left idle and make full use of every inch of land resources.

Today, Yunshan Farm has transformed from the original two or three hundred acres of barren land and mountains into a medium-to-large farm of seven or eight hundred acres.

With sufficient water for irrigation and the use of wood ash from burning weeds as fertilizer, the soil quality is gradually improving.

Zhuangzi is full of thriving scenes.

On the other hand, the civil engineering project assigned to Yucui by Jiang Yizhou was also in full swing.

The first thing built was a carpentry workshop, which was located on a large open space on the hillside to the left side of the village. From the outside, it looked like a courtyard with two entrances.

The walls of the woodworking workshop and the courtyard walls are all built with stones. The stones only need to be squared and stacked neatly, so the work can be done very quickly.

In just ten days, half of the construction was completed.

The row of houses outside is a display room and reception hall for various wooden products.

The yard at the back is used for making wooden products and storing wood. There is also a large open space at the end of the yard for rough processing of wood.

A large pool was dug in the middle of each of the two patios in the woodworking workshop, and water from the large pond on the mountain was brought here.

There are large water tanks with at least one or two cubic volumes at the four corners of the eaves of the front and back yards.

Although the walls of this courtyard are made of stone, the roof frame and the furniture inside are made of wood, and the storage materials are also made of wood.

Fire prevention must come first.

... Yucui had already thought of all this, which made Jiang Yizhou feel relieved.

After Jiang Yizhou came back from Tianqi County, he sorted out the things on the farm and found that everything was in order. He was very satisfied.

Then he made arrangements for the construction project that Yucui was in charge of: "Continue digging the ponds on the other side of the hillside. Each pond should have a volume of several thousand cubic meters. Dig a few more ponds. On the one hand, you can dig up more stones, which are just right for building the walls and fences of the house. The excess can be used to level the road and reinforce the canal."

"On the other hand, now that this area of ​​several hillsides have been reclaimed, a lot of water is needed during the irrigation season. The weather is still good now, and the waterwheel can barely ensure irrigation. But if there is a drought, we can't completely block the river below for our own use. So it is necessary to dig more ponds now."

Yucui agreed with this.

In the past few months, she has been in charge of ponds, ditches, and house construction. She has learned more and more, and increasingly feels that the young lady is the one with real foresight.

From the beginning she just obeyed and followed, but now her thinking has changed fundamentally, and she is full of respect and admiration for her own young lady.

Yucui knew few words and could write even fewer, but she still carefully recorded Jiang Yizhou's arrangements in her own way.

Jiang Yizhou saw it and kept it in mind. After the workshop was built, she found a special courtyard and invited a teacher to teach Yucui, Yunxin and others how to count and read.

From now on, these will be her most capable assistants. How can they do it if they can't read or count?

……

After its listing, Jiang's Woodworking Workshop has completely made a name for itself in Yunshan through the promotion of water wheels, threshers, and rice pounding machines that use the power of water flow.

There is an endless stream of people coming here to buy things every day, most of them are wealthy people and landlords, as well as resellers.

Zhang Ni and the other two are working at full capacity, but the demand is still far from meeting the supply.

In addition to a monthly salary of two taels of silver, they also received a 10% bonus for each machine they made.

In just these few months, Zhang Ni alone had a huge sum of more than ten taels of silver, which was more than the savings of many families.

The most important thing is that now people will not point fingers at them or look down on the machines they make just because they are female carpenters.

Of course, there are also people who say mean things behind your back, but if you despise them, they won’t sell to you.

Next is the pottery workshop.

Jiang Yizhou has not yet found a way to improve the firing process, especially temperature control.

For now, we can only follow the experience of Tao Er and others and maintain the status quo.

But now, because of the major civil engineering renovation on the village, a lot of bricks and tiles are needed.

Jiang Yizhou didn't know whether the kiln that fired pottery could also fire bricks and tiles.

Tao Er said that only slight modifications are needed, and the molds for making bricks and tiles are ready-made. From the initial cutting of materials, drying, and firing, it may take more than two months according to the current weather conditions.

Two months is just two months, so I simply asked Yucui to draw the wall outlines of the carpentry workshop, crop processing workshop, warehouse, etc.

Wait until the bricks, tiles and timber are in place before installing the beams and covering the tiles.

... Jiang Yizhou came back and inspected the entire manor and rearranged it. It was two days later when he finished.

Then he took Liao Qi to Fusong Town and bought two servants and three maids.

Chunlan is responsible for cleaning the yard, Xiahe and Qiuju are responsible for the kitchen. This has completely freed Yunxin, Yucui and Wei Ke from daily chores and allowed them to concentrate on their own areas.

Baozhu can raise horses, and the barn just happened to be in need of a breeder: originally there was a cow on the farm, and later he bought another one for ploughing, plus the two horse-drawn carriages that Anchovies brought with him last year, that is, two horses. A few days ago, he went to Tianqi County and bought another horse-drawn carriage.

Now there are two cows and three horses there. We need a special horse herder. Baozhu is just the right person to take charge of this.

Fusheng followed Liao Qi. Liao Qi was now responsible for more and more tasks that were becoming increasingly heavy. Before, he was just a hired farmhand, doing doorman work and doing odd jobs in the front yard.

But after all, it is more reassuring to use slaves that are not bought directly.

Now the farm is basically fully staffed and everyone is doing their job.

The machine began to operate automatically and orderly.

...Everything has finally come to an end, and Jiang Yizhou can finally have a good rest.

A month ago, she asked Professor Liao Qi to teach her martial arts. She then practiced boxing every morning and practiced breathing for an hour before going to bed at night.

Now Jiang Yizhou finds that his body is really getting better imperceptibly. Not only is his body becoming healthier, but his movements are also becoming more agile and nimble.

Before, her speed and agility were all due to attribute bonuses, but now it is the reaction speed that her own body can achieve.

I checked the attribute value list and found that the physical fitness column had indeed increased by 5 points, becoming 85.

Jiang Yizhou was delighted, because his physical fitness had improved, so his other attribute values ​​could also be improved, but it required merit.

Because the overall attributes have already surpassed those of ordinary people, more merit is required to improve each attribute.
