Zhao Hai went upstairs to the study room. This study room was also prepared by Green. There were some books inside, but not a lot. There were some account books and the like, but there was no shortage of paper and pens.
What made Zhao Hai surprised was that 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, some were made of metal, some were made of writing brushes, and some were made of charcoal. Things like pencils were a combination of the East and the West. This made Zhao Hai open his eyes.
However, Zhao Hai didn't dare to compliment the paper. It wasn't the white paper that Zhao Hai imagined. Instead, it was yellow. It was similar to the kraft paper that Zhao Hai saw when he was young. The paper was very hard and dry compared to kraft paper.
Seeing this, Zhao Hai couldn't help but be speechless. In Adam's memories, there were a lot of romantic affairs, as well as sensual pleasures. However, he didn't have any memories of paper and pens. It can be seen what kind of person he was.
Zhao Hai picked up the charcoal pencil and drew the shape of a stone mill and a roller on the paper. Then he handed the paper over to Ann.
Ann looked at the paper and immediately said, "Young Master, I can make these things. We usually use similar things to make rice. Although it's not exactly the same, it's almost the same."
Zhao Hai nodded with relief and said, "Good, it's good that you can make it. Meg, arrange for forty men to follow Ann in making these two things. Make a few more. These are used to make rice and noodles. We have a lot of people here, I'm afraid there won't be enough if we don't make enough."
Meg complied. Zhao Hai continued, "The remaining ten men will go to the mountains and cut the hay. Then have the women follow Daisy and learn how to weave the hay. We need to hang straw mats in all the houses in the shortest time possible. Right, if there's anyone who knows how to make something like this, you must let me know. Also, tell the slaves that if they feel that it's too cold to sleep on the ground, they can put corn stalks on the ground. Right now, we don't have enough supplies on hand, so we can't let them sleep on the ground. However, they'll get sick if they keep sleeping on the ground.
Meg complied. She also knew that the slaves really didn't have anything to do now. Zhao Hai's land hadn't been improved yet, and the mines were almost cleaned. There really wasn't much work to do now.
After giving the instructions, Zhao Hai and the others came out of the study. As soon as they walked into the living room, they met Merlin. Breakfast was already prepared, and Merlin had come to call them to eat.
At the table, Zhao Hai told Merlin about his arrangement. Merlin didn't object. They really needed to make rice and noodles. Zhao Hai's arrangement was the best.
After breakfast, Meg immediately distributed the manpower according to Zhao Hai's arrangement. She let Rockhead lead Ann and the others to find suitable stones to make rollers and millstones. The women's responsibilities were all under her. Everyone sat there and weaved straw mats.
The whole castle suddenly became busy. However, Zhao Hai and Meg weren't in the castle. The two went to the canyon from the lake in the mountain. This time, it was only the two of them. Anyway, there wasn't any danger. Merlin could relax a little with one less person.
The two walked on the waves and soon reached the canyon. Zhao Hai went to the improved land yesterday and looked at it. There was no change. Then, he improved another piece of land next to the original one. It was still ten mu.
Seeing that Zhao Hai had finished improving the land, Merlin turned to Zhao Hai and said, "Young Master, why don't we let the slaves come here tomorrow and turn over the soil. Let's plant these lands first."
Zhao Hai shook his head. He still wanted to use this land to do an experiment. He wouldn't forget the hint when he touched the small shovel for the first time. The small shovel could be brought out of the space and used to turn over ten mu of land every day. Similarly, he also wanted to know if the seeds and water in the space were still under his control. If they were still under his control, then he could plant ten mu of land every day.
Seeing Zhao Hai shake his head, Merlin knew that he still had things to do. She didn't say anything and just looked at Zhao Hai. She didn't know what he was going to do.
Zhao Hai's mind moved, and the small shovel immediately flew out of the space. Zhao Hai immediately thought about the matter of planting corn. Sure enough, the corn seeds immediately flew out of the space and fell on the ground that had just been turned over. Zhao Hai didn't feel relieved and went to take a look. Seeing that the seeds had already been buried, Zhao Hai felt relieved.
However, Zhao Hai also discovered a problem. The shovel, the seeds, and everything in the space couldn't leave the ten mu of land. They could only move within this range. Moreover, they couldn't do anything too complicated. For example, the shovel could only turn over the ground and couldn't do anything else. Zhao Hai also wanted to try the spatial water, but he couldn't do anything else. The spatial water had already been used to improve the land. Today, he couldn't use the spatial water outside.
Zhao Hai was actually still somewhat unsatisfied. If the spatial water could really change according to his will, then it could become an offensive weapon. Unfortunately, the spatial water could only be used to water the soil and couldn't do anything else.
Compared to Zhao Hai's dissatisfaction, Merine was very shocked. She didn't think that Zhao Hai would be able to use this method to farm. This was too amazing.
After two hours, the ten mu of land had been planted. The small shovel automatically flew back into the space, and the seeds naturally didn't appear. Although it was only ten mu of land, Zhao Hai was still very satisfied. He could only improve ten mu of land a day. Ten mu of land was just right.
Seeing that the land was planted, Zhao Hai turned his head to Merine and said, "Grandma Merine, can you use water magic to water the land?"
Merlin came back to his senses and nodded. He walked to the side of the pool and chanted a spell in a low voice. This time, he chanted for a longer time. After a while, a cloud of water vapor rose from the pool. Then, the water vapor accumulated in the air and slowly turned into a drizzle.
Zhao Hai once again felt the magic of magic. This was an artificial rain, it was too amazing.
In fact, Zhao Hai didn't know that not all Mages could do this. Only Advanced Mages like Merine could do this. Moreover, this was only an auxiliary magic, not an offensive one. It was much simpler than offensive magic.
Merlin's control over magic was unquestionable. In a short moment, the soil in the ground had become very moist. She immediately stopped her magic.
Zhao Hai looked at the ten mu of land and felt a sense of accomplishment. He turned his head to Merine and said, "Grandma Merine, although the plants here can't mature as quickly as the space, for us, this is the foundation of our life. I'm afraid that the space will disappear one day, so I'm anxious to improve the land."
Upon hearing Zhao Hai's words, Merine's face changed. She quickly said, "Gods bless us. I hope that the young master's space won't disappear."
Zhao Hai smiled. He turned his head and said, "Alright, Grandma Merine. I can only improve ten mu of land in a day. Let's go back." Merine nodded and followed Zhao Hai back to the cave.
Although walking on the waves was very secretive, Zhao Hai still hoped that he could get on the ship a day earlier. However, not only did they not have the materials to build a ship, they also didn't have the people to build a ship. Therefore, he could only dream about it.
As soon as the two came out of the cave, they heard a burst of chanting coming from a small cave not far away. Zhao Hai and Merine looked towards the direction of the sound and found that Rockhead was leading Ann and the others. They were carrying a mined stone out of the cave.
Zhao Hai quickly walked over. He first looked at the stone. Of course, he couldn't tell whether the stone was good or bad. He just wanted to see if the stone was big enough.
Correct, the stone's shape wasn't very regular. It was about 1.5 meters high, had a minimum diameter of three meters, and a maximum diameter of five meters. At a glance, one could see that it wasn't light. Rockhead and the others also took a lot of rope. They tied the stone up and carried it out of the cave little by little.
Zhao Hai quickly said, "Alright, put the stone down. I'll take him back. You can go do other things."
Ann and the others were puzzled as they looked at Zhao Hai. However, Rockhead knew what was going on. Zhao Hai wanted to take the stone back to the space. He didn't explain to Ann and the others and immediately said, "Alright, let's put the stone down and continue mining in the cave. We don't need to worry about this."
Although Ann and the others were puzzled, they didn't dare to go against Zhao Hai's words. They immediately put the stone on the ground. Then Rockhead had them untie the ropes on the stone.
Seeing that there were no more ropes on the stone, Zhao Hai waved his hand and received the stone into the spatial warehouse. Ann and the others were stunned. They had never seen such a magical ability. Although there were spatial equipment in the continent, those things were generally owned by Great Nobles. Small Nobles couldn't afford to use them. Slaves like Ann and the others had never even heard of such a thing, let alone seeing someone use it.
However, Ann and the others also knew about the wonders of magic. They thought that Zhao Hai was using magic. Therefore, they were very excited as they thought, "Master is actually a powerful Mage."
Zhao Hai didn't care about them and immediately followed Merlin towards the castle. On the way, they saw several male slaves cutting hay on the mountain.
This time, Zhao Hai didn't help them carry the hay back. The hay was very loose, so it was fine to let the slaves take it back.
When the two returned to the castle, they found that there were a lot of women sitting in the castle's square. These women were led by Meg and Daisy, they were weaving straw mats. There were also some women carrying corn stalks from outside the castle as they walked towards the slaves' houses.
