Chapter 362: When will it be left?

Su Nuan was anxious to find something, so she flew at a low altitude, which scared the little animals and made them run away.

The space spirit said, "Don't be so anxious. You won't freeze to death in a short time."

Su Nuan said, "I know there's some cloth behind the cliff that can be used as an emergency, but even if we find some apocynum, we can't make clothes out of it all at once."

"After harvesting, we have to peel the skin, soak it, scrape the fibers... there are so many things to do."

The space spirit sighed, "It's so troublesome. Back then it was better. It was just clothes. I just stood in the machine and turned around and I got clothes."

Su Nuan couldn't imagine what it meant to find clothes just by turning around, but she now had a clear goal, which was to find the Luobu Ma and bring it back.

God rewards those who work hard. We found Luobu Ma in the hills upstream of the river. It was everywhere, but it was a bit far from here.

But now we have steamships. We can bring people here, have them harvest the crops on site, and then transport them back by ship.

All the ripe ones can be harvested in about half a month, and this amount can be made into a lot of linen.

Su Nuan picked some and took them back. In fact, the leaves of Apocynum venetum can be made into medicinal tea, and it has good medicinal value.

When she returned to Sifang City, people there had already started eating.

When she arrived at the dining room, she saw Wu Long eating with gritted teeth.

Su Nuan asked, "What's wrong?"

When Wu Long saw her, he threw away his bowl and rushed over to hug Su Nuan, but was stopped by Ling Yun.

Su Nuan looked at Wu Long in confusion. Why did this guy look like he had suffered a great injustice?

Wu Long cried and said, "You're back! Don't you know that big fool caught me and locked me in the house and made me make a spinning wheel? I didn't even have any tools, so how could I do it?"

Su Nuan touched her nose and thought, okay, she was the one who started it.

She smiled awkwardly, "I see. Whatever tools you need, I'll give them to you. Please help me make a set of weaving tools. My people here have no clothes to wear."

Wu Long glared, "Even if they have no clothes to wear, they can't force me to do hard labor, right?"

Su Nuan quickly apologized with a smile, "Hehe... Isn't this because you are the best? I can only beg you, I will give you more coal."

When coal was mentioned, Wu Long nodded, "Okay, coal, fill it up!"

Su Nuan gritted her teeth. The ship could hold a lot of cargo even without any other goods, yet it had to be filled up.

But now that he needed help from him, he could only nod and say, "Okay, fill it up."

Wu Long was satisfied. He glared at Ling Yun in revenge, then returned to his seat, picked up his bowl and started eating.

Su Nuan had a poor appetite and looked at Ling Cang and asked, "How are the resources allocated now?"

Ling Cang said, "I haven't thought of a good solution yet. Although I have a few methods, none of them are perfect."

Su Nuan looked at Wu Long again, "You know a lot. Now everyone in our station is equal. How can we allocate some resources to them so as not to cause competition and make them work more actively for the resources?"

Wu Long thought for a moment and said, "Then we'll use the work point system."

Su Nuan raised an eyebrow, "Can you tell me in detail?"

Wu Long reached out and grabbed a roasted rabbit. "I'll tell you after I'm full. I can't finish it in a few words."

Su Nuan nodded, "Okay, then you can hold a meeting with everyone later and discuss it together."

Wu Long nodded without saying anything and was busy eating the rabbit.

After dinner, Wu Long lay contentedly on the Arhat couch in the conference room.

"Oh...I'm so stuffed, but it's a pity I didn't eat enough."

Su Nuan handed him a cup of tea with a look of disgust on her face, "Here, digestive tea. You're a grown man and you can't control your mouth."

Wu Long laughed and said, "People live for a good meal, right?"

Su Nuan was too lazy to argue with him. "Hurry up and drink it. Once you feel better, we can talk about the work point system."

Wu Long wanted to keep it a secret, but when he saw Cheng Feng's dark face, he quickly sat up straight, took the teacup and drank it in one gulp.

"Actually, the work point system means you clearly mark the price of each type of work. For example, for hard work like building a house, you'll be paid 100 points a day."

"Easy tasks like mowing grass for pigs, washing clothes, and cooking are scored at 10 or 20 points."

“This allows them to choose what to do and how many points they earn.”

Su Nuan nodded, "It's actually the same as paying money, but we can't come up with that much money right now."

Now that we have molds, it is not easy to cast a large number of copper coins, so this scoring system is not bad.

Ling Cang said, "That's fine. Let's select a few people to manage it tomorrow. One person can't handle it."

"The warehouse also needs someone to manage it. After all, people need to do addition and subtraction to exchange points for things."

Su Nuan looked at Ling Cang, "You don't need me for this, right?"

She thinks it's too troublesome and doesn't want to do it, but she's okay with giving suggestions.

How could Ling Cang not know what she was thinking? He smiled and said, "No need."

Su Nuan breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "That's good."

Then Su Nuan looked at Ling Yun and said, "Xiao Yun, you and your men will come with me tomorrow to harvest the Apocynum venetum."

"After we collect these apocynum vena, we can supply clothes for a short period of time. As for other fabrics, we may need to go to the Northern Snow Country to buy some."

Ling Yun nodded obediently, "Okay."

Now he is smart. As long as he doesn't go against Su Nuan, he will do whatever she says, and Su Nuan will definitely look at him differently.

Su Nuan didn't expect Ling Yun to agree without even asking, and for a moment she was a little... surprised.

She didn't dare ask why, but just smiled and said, "Then let's continue talking about the work point system."

Wu Long continued, "You are now eating from the same big pot, which is not bad. But apart from the stipulated working hours, they don't need to be idle. They can collect grass for pigs, make mud bricks, or plant a vegetable garden."

"You should allocate an area for each household to grow vegetables or raise chickens and ducks. In short, let them fill the fragmented time in their lives and keep busy."

Su Nuan touched her chin. The term "fragmented time in life" is interesting.

She asked, "Shouldn't we just leave them alone?"

Wu Long praised: "Smart, you can't let them idle. A lot of trouble comes from idleness."

"If there are many children, we should also open a school. We won't teach them knowledge, but only teach them how to generate income for the family."

"Of course, if there are particularly bright children, we should teach them according to their aptitude. If they love to study and can do well, then we can't force them to do hard labor, right? If there are children who are good at work but don't like to study, you can't force them to do it, right?"

Su Nuan nodded vigorously, "Yes, yes, that's absolutely right."

Wu Long was flattered by the praise. He said confidently, "If you need anything while I'm in the North, just come to me."

Su Nuan's eyes rolled. If he didn't take advantage of this sucker now, when would he do it?

She immediately picked up the teapot and poured him some tea, saying with a smile, "Drink some tea to moisten your throat. I really have something I can't do without you."

Wu Long knew that Su Nuan had a very high status here, and when such a high-ranking person acted servilely towards him, he immediately became arrogant.

"You said, as long as I can do it, I will definitely not refuse."
