The surprise gift pack for 500 people contained a portion of sweet potato, and the gift packs for 1,000 and 2,000 people contained some fuel and a torn blueprint, which was a large quantity. From now on, there would be no need to worry about the sky-high fuel bills when turning on the lights at night.
It can at least supply fuel for several workshops for half a year.
Sweet potatoes are very useful, especially nowadays when there is a shortage of food. Having sweet potatoes can greatly alleviate the food crisis.
Although we already have potatoes, eating too much of them will make you feel sick, so let’s have some sweet potatoes to go with the scallions.
With these two surprises, Lin Jinyue thought about the sudden increase in population.
Welfare benefits must be raised!
Therefore, Lin Jinyue provided three meals a day for the adults in the school, with breakfast and lunch being relatively rich.
The schedule is not too tight, which leaves them some time to rest or work to earn some money to save.
There are two incomplete drawings left.
Lin Jinyue put the two drawings together and felt that they looked familiar. Wasn’t this the drawing of the Jenny machine that she had found before?
The three pieces were put together, but there was still a very small corner that was missing.
Lin Jinyue frowned, thinking that it might be in some hidden reward package later.
But these don’t have a problem. Most of the drawings are already there, just a small corner is missing. I’ll study it first.
Lin Jinyue immediately called a meeting of the people in the carpentry workshop and also called a few women who knew how to weave.
Those who came to the meeting were core members. They had all signed the farm’s ton insurance agreement with Lin Jinyue and were allowed to enter and leave the farm.
There were ten people in total, including Chen Mazi who had just signed the agreement a few days ago.
He was smart, tactful, and occasionally had some brilliant ideas, which helped Carpenter Wang a lot.
Lin Jinyue wanted to promote him, so she said, "I have an incomplete blueprint of a large-scale textile machine. If it can be made, our village will be able to earn a lot more money in the future. Chen Mazi will be the research and development leader this time."
Just think about the changes brought about by the first industrial revolution in the West.
The small-scale industrial revolution in their village will not have a large impact, but it will enable the village to develop rapidly.
Lin Jinyue said, "Of course there will be bonuses. If you can complete it within a month, no one will be rewarded with ten taels of silver. If you break through the key technology, you will be rewarded with ten taels of silver. Similarly, for every textile machine sold in the future, your R&D team can get 10% of the profits."
Everyone became excited after hearing this.
"Oh my god, ten taels of silver!"
Chen Mazi was a little dizzy, "Ten taels... If you think about the key point..."
After listening to their words, Lin Jinyue knew that she had not misjudged the person. Only Chen Mazi wanted to make a breakthrough in the key technology, while the others thought that ten taels would be enough.
Finally, Lin Jinyue added: "We can only do it on the farm and try not to affect other work."
Lin Jinyue looked at Carpenter Wang again.
She had not originally planned to call Carpenter Wang about this matter. However, as Carpenter Wang was Chen Mazi's immediate superior, if she did not let him know about this, Carpenter Wang would probably be unhappy if this happened too many times.
Lin Jinyue smiled and said, "I have more important work to do, and I need the help of people like you who have superb skills."
In fact, it was just the batch of martial arts that Lin Jinyue received last time that wanted Carpenter Wang to set up a separate department to specifically provide crossbows to Gu Shao.
In this case, there is no need to worry about someone leaking the drawings, and you don't have to look for only trustworthy people.
After all, they have more advanced crossbows equipped with telescopes, so there is no need to waste the elite troops on these obsolete ones.
In addition, Lin Jinyue got a blueprint of a catapult and asked Carpenter Wang to work on it.
The current situation is getting worse and worse. Lin Jinyue is really worried. After arranging them, she went back to look through the materials to see how the gunpowder and cannons can be improved.
Lin Jinyue already has plans for the village.
We can buy some land then. With so many people, we can build a city wall.
Build it secretly. Since this place is desolate, build the outer perimeter first, and then build up the conspicuous places in the dark at night.
If we can figure out how to make cannons, we can put some on the city walls and some on the boats.
No one can get close to their Yunhe Village.
It’s not that she doesn’t trust Gu Shao.
Her eyelids have been twitching recently, and she always feels that as long as Xie Hong doesn't die, he will be like a time bomb.
Then again, if Xie Hong died, since he was the legitimate son of the Xie family in the capital, it would probably be even more troublesome.
This is also the reason why Lin Jinyue has stepped up military construction during this period.

When Lin Jinyue came out of the farm space again, it was already the next morning.
Jiang Yun made breakfast, which was Lin Jinyue’s favorite steak.
Jiang Yun got a big piece for Lin Jinyue: "Eat it quickly. No one is coming to our house today. If we are caught eating beef, we will all go to jail."
The whole family loves to eat beef. They all sighed, "Ah, the ancient times were troublesome. We can't eat beef either. Let's just eat it on the farm in the future."
The function of cold and fresh food has also been unlocked. A slaughtered cow can be preserved for a long time.
Lin Jinyue said, "Let's not kill the cows. Let's just buy some in the system space. Even if there is no purchase limit, we can still eat a little every day. Now the tiller has not been made yet, so these cows have to be used to till the land."
Lin Jinyue added, "Dad, you should take a rest these few days and stop working so hard. Mom, you should also teach me slowly and take your time."
Lin Shucheng rubbed his daughter's head and said, "Don't think about it. Your mother and I are not tired. I wish I could do more. Maybe it's because I'm old and I feel uncomfortable when I'm idle."
Jiang Yun also said: "Yueyue, many of the young girls here are interested in Chinese medicine. Your grandmother and grandma's wish is to promote Chinese medicine, especially women's medicine... Most of the students I taught before changed their careers after graduation. I didn't expect that in ancient times, there would be so many apprentices."
What Jiang Yun said was true. She also wanted to bring out more female doctors. In ancient times, there were differences between men and women. Many women who got sick had to fight hard. If they couldn't, they would die.
Although she was working hard, she was really happy in her heart.
At this time, there was a knock on the door, and the three of them quickly swallowed the steaks.
But I dare not let anyone notice anything unusual.
The people who came were Lin Youcai and an old woman. Lin Youcai had a smile on his face and seemed to praise the old woman while speaking.
Lin Jinyue just felt a little strange.
Who is this person?
Lin Youcai then introduced: "This is Matchmaker Wang, a famous matchmaker in the surrounding area. I thought that the young man and the girl in our village should get married, so I asked Matchmaker Wang to introduce them."
Lin Jinyue was stunned for a moment.
She thought at the time that all the teenagers in the village were married, and the rest were young men in their teens who had never thought about getting married.
Unexpectedly, when Matchmaker Wang saw Lin Jinyue, her eyes lit up, "Oh my, such a pretty girl, I am happy just looking at her. She is about ten years old, right? Is she engaged? I, Matchmaker Wang, will definitely introduce a man to her."
Lin Shucheng was so terrified that he held his daughter tightly behind him and looked at Matchmaker Wang as if she were a jackal or a tiger.
"My daughter doesn't talk about marriage."
