The surprise gift pack for 500 people contained a sweet potato, while the welfare packs for 1,000 and 2,000 people contained some fuel and a fragmented blueprint. The quantities were quite large, so there's no need to worry about exorbitant fuel costs when turning on the lights at night from now on.
It can supply fuel for at least several workshops for six months.
Sweet potatoes are a great food, especially now that there is a food shortage. Having sweet potatoes can greatly alleviate the food crisis.
Although we already have potatoes, eating too many potatoes can get boring, so adding some sweet potatoes is just right.
With these two pleasant surprises in mind, Lin Jinyue thought about the sudden increase in the population.
Welfare benefits must be improved!
Therefore, Lin Jinyue provided the minors at the school with three meals a day, with breakfast and lunch being more substantial.
The schedule isn't too tight; it leaves them some free time to rest or work to earn money and save.
There are two incomplete blueprints remaining.
Lin Jinyue put the two blueprints together and felt that they looked familiar. Weren't these the blueprints for the Jenny machine that she had found before?
The three pieces were put together, but a very small corner piece was still missing.
Lin Jinyue frowned, guessing it was probably in some hidden reward pack later.
However, none of this matters. We already have most of the blueprints, only a small corner is missing. Let's study it first.
Lin Jinyue immediately convened a meeting with the carpenters and also called in several women who knew how to weave.
Those attending the meeting were all core members who had signed a confidentiality agreement with Lin Jinyue regarding the farm, allowing them access to and from the farm.
There were twenty people in total, including Chen Mazi, who had just signed the agreement a few days ago.
He was quick-witted, tactful, and occasionally had some ingenious ideas, which helped carpenter Wang a lot.
Lin Jinyue intended to promote him, so she said, "I have a partial blueprint here. It's a textile machine, a large one. If we can make it, our village will earn a lot more money in the future. Chen Mazi will be the head of the research and development team 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, though not having a wide-ranging impact, was able to rapidly develop the village.
Lin Jinyue then said, "The bonus will naturally be substantial. If it can be completed within a month, everyone will be rewarded with ten taels of silver. Those who break through the key technologies will be rewarded with twenty taels of silver. Similarly, your research and development team will receive 10% of the profit for every textile machine sold in the future."
Everyone got excited when they heard this.
"My God, ten taels of silver!"
Chen Mazi was a little dizzy, "Twenty taels... If you really think about the key points..."
Listening to their words, Lin Jinyue knew that she had not misjudged them. Only Chen Mazi was thinking about breaking through the key technology, while the others thought that taking ten taels was enough.
Finally, Lin Jinyue added, "It can only be done on the farm, so as not to affect other work."
Lin Jinyue then looked at Wang the carpenter.
She hadn't originally planned to involve Carpenter Wang in this matter, but as Chen Mazi's superior, if she didn't let him know about it, he would probably be unhappy if it happened too often.
Lin Jinyue smiled and said, "I have more important work to do, and I need the help of people with such excellent skills."
Actually, it was the same batch of weapons that Lin Jinyue had received last time. She wanted Wang the carpenter to set up a separate department specifically to provide crossbows to Gu Shao.
There's no need to worry about leaking the blueprints in this case; you don't need to hire only trustworthy people.
After all, they had more advanced crossbows equipped with telescopes, so there was no need to waste the elite troops on these obsolete ones.
In addition, Lin Jinyue obtained a blueprint for a catapult and had Wang the carpenter work on it.
The situation is getting worse and worse, and Lin Jinyue is really worried. After making arrangements for them, she went back to look through the documents to see how gunpowder and cannons could be improved.
Lin Jinyue already has a plan for the village.
We can buy more land then, and with so many people, we can build a city wall.
They built it secretly, since the area was desolate anyway. They first fenced off the outer perimeter, and then, at night, they secretly added the more conspicuous parts.
If we could figure out how to make cannons, we could put a few on the city walls and a few on the ships.
No one can get close to their Yunhe Village.
It wasn't that she didn't trust Gu Shao.
Her eyelids had been twitching lately, and she felt like Xie Hong was a ticking time bomb as long as he was alive.
But then again, if Xie Hong were to die, as the legitimate son of the Xie family in the capital, things would likely become even more complicated.
This is also why Lin Jinyue has been accelerating military construction during this period.

When Lin Jinyue emerged from the farm space again, it was already the next morning.
Jiang Yun prepared breakfast, which was Lin Jinyue's favorite steak.
Jiang Yun gave Lin Jinyue a large piece of beef: "Eat quickly. It's lucky no one came to our house today, otherwise we would all be in jail if they found out we were eating beef."
The whole family loves beef, and they all sighed, "Sigh, life in ancient times was so troublesome. We couldn't even eat beef. From now on, let's just eat it on a farm."
The chilled food function has also been unlocked, so a slaughtered cow can be preserved for a long time.
Lin Jinyue then said, "Let's not kill the cattle. Let's just buy them from the system space. Although there are purchase limits, we can still eat a little bit every day. The tractor hasn't been developed yet, so these cattle have to be used for plowing."
Lin Jinyue added, "Father, you should rest these few days and not be too busy. Mother, you should also teach slowly and take your time."
Lin Shucheng rubbed his daughter's head and said, "Don't overthink it. Your mother and I aren't tired. I'd love to do more things. Maybe it's just that I'm getting old. People feel uncomfortable when they're idle."
