Sun City looks thriving, but in fact, there is not much money in circulation. The accounts of the finance department have piled up a large amount of money.

The largest monthly salary is paid to civil servants, while the source of income is small.

The meat hunted by the military headquarters was a part, and the iron tools of the smelter accounted for the majority, and nothing else was recorded.

Alan thought about minting coins, but was sternly rejected by Fenghua. The Mint is currently under the management of the Finance Department, and Fenghua is the direct leader.

After learning more about it, Lin Yan is also a big head, the operation of a city depends on taxes, but Sun City currently has no projects suitable for taxation.

Ah Lan said sadly: "If it goes on like this, what can I do?" If we don't pay our salaries, all our efforts will be in vain. ”

"No, it won't." Lin Yan comforted, "Most of the ore brought back now is used for the armed military department. When the next ore comes back, the weapons and tools crafted are used for sale, which is a large amount of income, and it will definitely get better and better in the future. ”

Ah Lan thought about it and felt that what Lin Yan said was right. The more ore is brought back, processed and sold, it is not a big problem to feed this group.

Lin Yan saw that she still had a lot of things to deal with, so she asked, "Is there anyone who comes out of a single independent household?" ”

"Yes, I heard Xia Li say that there are six people who have come to her in the past few days, all of them are adult women, and they want to be the masters of the household." Speaking of this, Alan was happy, "Our original plan was successful. ”

It's good to have it, Lin Yan breathed a sigh of relief, some things can't be done clearly, but under the subtle influence, they will slowly change.

Seeing that Lin Yan was leaving, Ah Lan looked outside the door, and then said in a low voice: "Huang Ye is gone, do you have any ideas for the vacated arbiter candidates?" ”

"What do you mean? Let me be? Lin Yan was surprised, "This is impossible." ”

"Where do you want to go, that's not what I meant." Alan hurriedly shook his head, "You're too young, definitely not." I wanted to ask if you have any favorites. ”

Lin Yan patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief, "That's what it means." Hehe, I thought you wanted me on. ”

Ah Lan glanced at her, "Am I so unreliable?" ”

"Hehe, you're the most reliable." Lin Yan smiled, "I don't have any ideas about the candidate, let everyone choose." Whoever supports the most is who is whom. ”

Ah Lan waved her hand to let her go, she was going to be busy.

Lin Yan was busy, and she was also busy.

When I got home, Hua Hong was just about to cook when the stove was blazing, and the water in the iron pot was about to boil.

"Auntie, what are you cooking today?"

Hua Hong smiled: "Scrambled eggs with leeks, roasted chestnuts, broth." ”

In fact, there are only a few things that are eaten every day, and Lin Yan also knows that he just asks casually.

Lin Yan looked at the hemp piled up in the yard, "The first crop of hemp has been harvested, and I will peel the hemp silk with my mother after eating." ”

"Okay, you've grown a little taller this year, and your strength is greater, it's time to work."

"Sell all this stubble of hemp silk to the spinning workshop, and what you left before is enough." Spinning is time-consuming, and the bonus is so busy all day that there is no time to do it.

Hua Bonus also thinks that the quality of the thread spun by itself is too poor with that made by the workshop, so it is better to buy the thread directly or buy linen. "I heard that the workshop is already making finished clothes for sale, so we'll buy you two later."

Lin Yan is indeed long, the legs of the previous linen trousers are a little shorter, although it is okay to wear them in the hot season, but she often goes to the field, there are many insects and ants, so it is best to wear long clothes and trousers.

Looking down at his trouser legs, Lin Yan realized that he had grown taller, "Okay, let's go buy clothes later, and buy two clothes for A-Niang." ”

The red clothes are all made by themselves, which are quite rough, and they are already very torn out of the wasteland.

"The clothes made in the workshop must be strong and durable, so A-Niang doesn't have to make them herself."

Lin Yan is very confident in the workshop of the Hongying family, after all, there are the best spinning machines and looms, the linen cloth made must be the best, and the sewn clothes are guaranteed.

Peeling the roasted hairy chestnuts, Lin Yan felt that this was the best food he had eaten so far.

"Auntie, Mao chestnut powder can also be eaten, let's try to make it someday."

"How?"

"Peel out the flesh of the chestnuts and dry them, grind them into flour, stir them with water and flour to make cakes, and bake them in a pot brushed with oil."

"It doesn't sound difficult, I'll try it when I'm free." Hua Hong is interested in Lin Yan's food, and will always find a way to try.

The spinning and weaving workshop is in Hongying's house, her family has a large population and many houses, so she vacated three rooms for use.

As the team leader, Hongying continues to do chores every day, and this year she handed over the workshop to her second sister Hongxiu to take care of.

Seeing Lin Yan and Hua Hong, Hongxiu hurriedly came out to greet him, "What a rare guest, it's the first time you have come here." Lin Yan is rare to come once, wait a good time, and give me more pointers. ”

Hua Hong smiled: "Lin Yan is still a little doll, how can he have this ability." Your family's workshop is doing well, which shows how good it is. Let's take a look and buy some linen and clothes. ”

"Lin Yan is so smart, half of the reason why the workshop can be where it is today is due to her." Hongxiu smiled and praised Lin Yan, "Come in, the linen and clothes are in the house, I'll take you to see it." ”

Lin Yan looked at the enthusiastic Hongxiu, as if he saw Hongying's shadow, worthy of being two sisters, what a look. However, how could the red spirit be born in such a family, how could it be very different.

"The linen cloth made in the workshop is all here, and it is one meter two in width and eight meters in length. The thickness of the twine is different, and the cloth made is also different, you can know it when you touch it. ”

The bonuses are touched one by one, some are thick and some are thin, and the feel is different. Exclaimed: "It's really different, this one is the thickest, and the pattern looks different from the others." ”

"It's thickened linen with a new weave that is very wear-resistant and suitable for wearing when you go out. The people of the military department used this kind of linen cloth to make clothes. ”

"How did you sell it?" The bonus has a fancy for the thickest linen, which is different to the touch, and it must be durable when made into clothes.

Hongxiu said with a smile: "A piece of linen cloth sells for 1 yuan and 2 jiao, and if it is cut according to the length, one meter is 2 jiao." ”

"It's too expensive."

"There is a reason why it is expensive, this kind of linen cloth is troublesome to make, and the most hemp silk is used, and the input cost is large. The one over there is cheaper, this one only needs 5 jiao, this one is 6 jiao, the price is a penny, it's completely up to you. ”

Hua Hong reluctantly put down the sackcloth, "Do you have any finished clothes?" ”

"Yes, yes, just made a batch, there is just one that you can wear, just over there, let's go and see."

Lin Yan withdrew his hand to touch the sackcloth, Hongxiu said very truthfully, it is indeed a penny for a penny, the more expensive it is, the thicker it is to touch.

However, with her salary, it would take two months to buy a piece of cloth, which is indeed expensive.

Seeing the finished clothes, after inquiring about the price, both of them felt that the family's money was not enough.
