With the design that people have found in modern time and space, Li Anran is not satisfied with the role of water wheels that can only irrigate. After verifying the use of water wheels, he also built several mills by the river. These mills that use water wheels as power sources can not only grind rice and flour, but also grind soy milk. After matching the corresponding parts, they can even have the functions of pounding rice and making cakes.

During this period, in addition to water trucks, canals, mills, cement kilns, and brick kilns, under the joint cultivation of multi-functional agricultural machinery and sufficient manpower, Xiaoyao Villa also had hundreds of acres of good fields. Even the small hill that Li Anran had taken a fancy to was cleared out and turned into terraces. However, these terraces were not used to grow grain, but planted several tea seedlings that Li Anran had wholesale from modern time and space.

At the beginning, Li Anran was a little worried that these tea seedlings would have problems or even plant them because they were not accustomed to the environment. But they didn’t expect that it was because of the benefits brought by time and space travel. Not only did each of these tea seedlings survive, but they also grew faster. In just a few days after planting, the tea seedlings in this tea garden were already lushly connected into one.

The fruits and vegetables that Li Anran tried to plant in the Tang Dynasty and Space before were basically the same. Not only did the growth rate be much faster than normal, but the harvested fruits are much better than before in terms of size and taste.

Take the most common leek for example. Li Anran chose not those varieties that sacrificed taste and nutrition for high yield and large size. However, after planting in the time and space of the Tang Dynasty, this small-leaf leek not only grew similar to the wide-leaf leek with leaves that were as thick as a little finger, but also had a stronger taste, and did not affect the taste at all because of the size getting bigger.

As for other varieties, such as tomatoes, cucumbers, etc., although their growth cycle is relatively long and has not yet produced any results, you can tell by looking at the vibrant growth that similar situations will definitely occur when harvesting.

Considering his eating habits, in addition to the two main foods of the Tang Dynasty, millet and corn, Li Anran also planted a large area of ​​rice and wheat. In order to eat the best rice and flour, he spent a lot of money and favors to get these two varieties that can be regarded as special supply levels.

Li Anran also planted a lot of crops such as corn, potatoes, sweet potatoes, etc., which can be used as grain and vegetables. Anyway, there were many farmlands in Xiaoyao Villa, and the new fields that were later reclaimed, it would be fine even if each one was heavier.

After finishing the work of farmland, new fields, tea gardens, water trucks, canals, etc., Li Anran began to redecorate the residential areas of the village households according to the plan in the design drawings.

In the past, the farmers in Xiaoyao Villa were scattered in different areas of the villa. There were more than ten families living together, while the few were only three or five families living in one area. It often took some time to notify you when you wanted to.

In the new plan, the residences of the farmers were gathered together, drawing on the shape of terraces, and progressing layer by layer on a hillside. Each floor was built with farmhouse courtyards connected to each household. Although the terrain of this hillside cannot be compared with Xiaoyao Villa, it also faces the mountains and faces the water, facing north and south. According to ancient sayings, Feng Shui is particularly good.

In order to avoid the problems of soil erosion and mudslides that may occur when heavy rain comes, when building this farmhouse courtyard, Li Anran not only wholesales a large number of fruit trees from modern time and space to plant, but also asks people to dig drainage ditches to facilitate the excretion of water flow during the rainy season. At the same time, stone masonry and prepared concrete are used to reinforce the slope to prevent collapse.

Compared with the farmhouse courtyards where farmers live, the treatment of those "protective courtyards" is obviously much worse, but a tent was built on an open space adjacent to Xiaoyao Villa. Fortunately, these tents were all engineering tents ordered by Anran from modern time and space. In addition, there was no shortage of items needed for daily life. The food for three meals a day was better than that of farmers, so no one dared to complain.

As the project on the villa is progressing smoothly, the progress of the academy is not slow. Although the construction has not been completed because the time is still short, some scenery can be seen now.

According to the planning on the design drawing, the entire academy area is divided into several areas.

In the main teaching area, schools that imitate modern time and space have built enlightenment colleges, junior colleges, intermediate colleges, advanced colleges and experimental areas respectively.

The Enlightenment Academy, as the name suggests, is a place for enlightenment to those little guys. It mainly teaches Chinese pinyin and basic mathematics with only addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, which is equivalent to a primary school in modern time and space.

The three colleges of junior, intermediate and advanced are corresponding to junior high school, high school and university. However, here, in addition to further imparting mathematical knowledge, they will only impart some physics and chemistry. Moreover, unlike the examination-oriented education in modern time and space, this academy will only impart practical knowledge closely related to life.

As for the experimental area, it is naturally a place for students to verify the knowledge they have learned. Fortunately, Anran Li did not intend to impart anything too profound, otherwise, this experimental area would have to be specially reinforced to avoid any accidents.

Next to the main teaching area is a sports area that allows students to exercise. This area is divided into two parts: indoor and outdoor, both borrowing from modern time and space design. Especially the outdoor part, a huge square, whether it is used for running or playing basketball games, is absolutely no problem.

In addition, there are canteen areas where students eat together, accommodation areas where students live, libraries for students to study, and other places. In order to solve the disadvantage of ancient people's lack of hygiene, Li Anran also asked someone to build a public toilet. There are one or more places in different areas to facilitate students to handle personal hygiene.

At the same time, Li Anran did not forget to make the environment of the academy more comfortable. He specially wholesaled fruit trees such as peach trees, apricot trees, pear trees, cherry blossoms, maple leaves and other fruit trees and ornamental trees from modern time and space, basically ensuring that the academy will have a good environment in different seasons. For this reason, he also spared no effort to attract a stream to surround the entire academy, and also built some pavilions and towers to build a small park for students and teachers to enjoy leisure.

Compared with the academy that combines humanistic and natural environment and style, the official road connecting the academy to Lantian County is also not bad. According to later generations, this newly built official road has a width of four lanes. Moreover, because it uses cement and simply prepared primary concrete, the strength of the pavement is even better than the original official road in Lantian County.

The official road is not only planted with continuous fruit trees in all seasons, but also full of flowers and plants. In terms of greening alone, it is much stronger than modern highways in time and space. Even in some places with water and scenery, stone chairs, stone tables, wooden pavilions, bamboo buildings and other buildings for tourists to take a break and go out. In short, after this place is built, the academy and the county town will inevitably become a new attraction in Lantian County.

Unlike the new road leading to the academy in the county town, the half new road leading to the Xiaoyao Villa was built under the instruction of Li Anran to build a toll station similar to that on the modern time and space expressway. Of course, this place is not used for charges. The main function is to prevent irrelevant people from entering and exiting the Xiaoyao Villa. Even the villa households must hold an "id card" and undergo inspection before they are released.
