Zhao Yuan's land reclamation activities have more or less affected the local area, but fortunately, spring plowing has not yet begun, and the impact on the local area is limited.

This campaign of land reclamation has invested a lot of manpower and material resources, which is the first time in Danling.

The money in Zhao Yuan's pocket also flowed out in an uproar, except for wages and money to buy humus, most of the money was exchanged for food.

Tao Pu, who managed the reclamation, saw that the situation was a little wrong, and had to limit the amount of food that everyone who came to work could eat.

"Big brother, these farm tools issued by the army in the workshop are so easy to use, they are all made of good steel, and besides, the rake is also different from the one we use, and the ox is not difficult to pull at all."

"If only we could have a hoe like this after we finish our work, and we wouldn't have to work so hard every spring plow."

A pair of brothers who participated in the reclamation said.

Compared with the shock of the scale of the reclamation to the people who came to participate in the reclamation, the farm tools brought by the workshop army made everyone's eyes even hotter, and they all thought that it would be good if they could have such farm tools in their homes.

The large-scale reclamation, because of the early planning, and there are strong workshop soldiers to take the lead, although the scope involved is relatively wide, the number of participants is large, but everything is not chaotic, everyone, according to the different soil quality, every day there are area requirements.

If you finish it early, you can also apply to the steward to open an extra piece of land, so that you can get an extra salary. Stimulated by wages, the enthusiasm of the people who participated in the reclamation was completely aroused, and they started work early every day, even if it was raining, everyone would wear hats and robes, and work the wasteland.

Zhao Yuan just went to a wasteland to take a look, and then handed over the matter of clearing the wasteland to Tao Pu.

"Brother Yuan, there are so many places, they are far away from home, can we manage them in the future?"

After someone did the thing, Zhao Yuan was idle and accompanied Meng Ying and Luoluo at home.

"No problem, Xiaoying, you see that we have some family business now, but when did you see when there was a mess?" Zhao Yuan said with a smile.

"Why is that?"

"Because of these things, I have established a whole set of systems from the beginning, that is, to set up rules for them, people to manage people, it is easy to have problems, but with mature rules, with a perfect system to manage people, it will be much better, and it is not easy to have problems." Zhao Yuan said with a smile.

Whether it is the workshop army or the cement workshop, there is now a complete system, and under the framework of this system, Zhao Yuan has ensured complete control over these places, and the same is true for the land that is being cleared.

Tao Pu is the supervisor of this batch of wasteland, directly responsible for himself, and then each piece of land below has a special steward, and there is also a workshop army team to take care of it from time to time, in Zhao Yuan's view, as long as the advanced planting technology is taught to everyone, the rest, basically there is not much to do.

"Uncle, uncle, I saw buds on the pear tree, is the pear blossom about to bloom?" Zhao Yuan was chatting with Meng Ying when Luoluo ran in and said.

"That's because spring is coming, it's cold outside, Luoluo, don't keep running outside." Zhao Yuan said with a smile.

The snow outside has melted almost, but the temperature has not risen, but it is colder than before, fortunately, although it is cold on this side of Shudi, the ground will not freeze, otherwise it will not be able to open the wasteland.

The most fearless of the cold at home should be the flock of chickens that have been greatly reduced in this winter, plowing in the field all day long, and the vegetable garden has to be fenced with a bamboo fence, otherwise the vegetable field will be a mess in a few days.

"Spring is coming, the weather is warm, uncle, can we still go on a spring outing?"

"Of course, we can still catch some game."

"Last year, the wild boar was so big, but it was not as delicious as the pork at home, so I still wanted to catch a few rabbits and come back, and the rabbits raised at home all died." Luo Luo snapped her fingers and said.

Zhao Yuan heard the words of the little girl, and couldn't help but be stunned, after the rabbit caught on the north mountain of Xiao Zhaozhuang was sold, the little girl has always been obsessed with the cute animal rabbit, and then Guo Du also caught a few hares with traps and came back, and the little girl has not been allowed to kill, saying that she wants to raise them.

But when did those rabbits die, Zhao Yuan thought about it, but found that he couldn't remember, it seemed that he was really busy last year.

"Okay, when the weather is warm and the grass on the mountain clears, we will go to Laoshan for a spring outing, and by the way, help us catch a few rabbits in Luoluo." Zhao Yuan said with a smile.

"Luoluo, didn't you say that after the academy is repaired, you will go to study, and how will you go on a spring outing then?" Meng Ying said with a smile.

"Uncle, can I still go to the mountains to play after I go to study?" Luoluo was a little dumbfounded and asked Zhao Yuan.

"Yes, when we can go on a spring outing, the academy should not have been built yet." Zhao Yuan said after thinking about it.

The college in Gray Plains Town, Zhao Yuan named Yucai College, the construction of this college, Zhao Yuan broke the original plan several times, and built it according to the configuration of the primary school in later generations.

With the convenient building materials of cement, coupled with the steel produced by the new iron-making furnace on the side of the iron mine, Zhao Yuan's investment in this academy can be said to be extremely extravagant, and if the materials spent are sold outside, it can basically be worth the cost of building half a cement workshop.

Of course, higher requirements mean that it takes more time, Zhao Yuan from later generations knows the importance of talents, here, is the starting point for Zhao Yuan to cultivate talents.

"Luoluo, come and do Uncle a favor, let's sort out the things I taught you before, and then print them out as books for everyone to learn in the academy in the future." Thinking of the academy that was still under construction, Zhao Yuan shook his head, this is the real starting from scratch, I hope I can use it one day in the future.

"Okay, uncle, auntie will too, auntie, you will come along." Luoluo took Meng Ying's hand and walked towards the study first.

When Zhao Yuan was teaching Luoluo to read and write, he actually had some teaching materials, but he did not form a systematic thing, and while he was not busy now, Zhao Yuan was ready to sort out the teaching materials that the college would use in the future.

Chinese, arithmetic, this is the first textbook that Zhao Yuan is going to compile, of course, it is impossible to completely copy it from later generations, but Arabic numerals have long been popular in Danling, and there is no problem at all when used in arithmetic.

In the following days, Zhao Yuan took Meng Ying and Luoluo and began the process of compiling textbooks. In this process, Meng Ying and Luoluo seemed to become the first batch of students, from simple to difficult, the two could keep up at first, but in the back, without Zhao Yuan's explanation, Meng Ying and Luoluo couldn't understand.
