On the way back, Lin Yan asked Mao Mu, "You made the crossbow arrows, how much money do you plan to sell?" ”

"I don't know, I haven't thought about it yet. Heitu is right, it is also for better development to the military department, and I am happy to give it to them. ”

"I didn't expect you to have this awareness, are you really willing to give it to the military department?"

Mao Mu nodded, "Yes." ”

"You're the head of the weapons research room, and the crossbow bolts are your research results, so you can do whatever you want. But the budget of the laboratory is allocated to you, what do you give me an explanation, you can't just put in but not output, so if we go on like this, our laboratory will soon not be able to sustain it. ”

"So serious?" Mao Mu was stunned, "But our laboratory has been like this in the past few years, and we haven't done much to take out technology, so it's not good." ”

"That's what it looks like. You haven't understood the substance, of course you don't know, I'll tell you about it. ”

Mao looked obedient and obedient.

"Since a few years ago, looms and textile machines have been researched, and the technology has been sold to garment mills, as well as smelters and woodmills, and the technology is all laboratory, and you think they are all used for nothing. There was an account, and at that time it was the finance department that handled the bookkeeping. ”

"Now it's different, the finance department is busy, each department has to manage the accounts independently, the laboratory has to do the accounts separately, and the transformation of each research result has to pay the corresponding expenses. This is the first time you are in charge of research alone, and I don't know if I understand, but you should remember in the future that this is a process that must be done. ”

Mao Mu listened to Lin Yan and said a lot, and said: "So that's the case, I haven't heard of it before, and I know how to do it in the future." How much do you think it is appropriate to sell the crossbow bolt to the military department? ”

"It can't be too expensive, it can't be too cheap, it's priced at about 6 yuan."

"So expensive?" Mao Mu was taken aback, "We are only responsible for technical guidance, and we don't produce materials and labor, so it's not good to ask for such a high price." ”

Lin Yan looked at Mao Mu helplessly, "Is it expensive, the technology we come out of is the result of invisible labor, which needs to be made by using our brains and relying on our ingenuity, which is very valuable." I think the price is reasonable. ”

Mao Mu is still a little worried, 6 yuan is a huge amount of money for him, and he can't earn 5 yuan a year. And that's when he wears several hats.

Lin Yan said angrily: "You go and ask, Shi Zhi sold the technology of the trolley for a lot of money, and it was still sold to his family, so you will know the pricing of the laboratory technology." I want to solemnly tell you that technology is very valuable, and if you work hard in the future, the money from the sale will be distributed to you personally. ”

When Mao Mu learned that Shi Zhi's trolley was sold for 5 yuan, he believed what Lin Yan said.

Shi Zhi's cart is still sold at a friendly price, and like the crossbow arrows, they are sold at a cheap price. Just last year, the wheel technology of the frame car was transferred to the smelter for 15 yuan.

Mao Mu really believes it now, technology is really valuable.

The matter of the crossbow arrow was implemented by Mao Mu and the military department, Lin Yan didn't pay attention to it anymore, she simply drew a picture of what she saw and heard after going out for three days.

One of the most obvious references is the Sun River, which she calls the river before the branch Yang River, taking into account the situation upstream. The large lake they saw was named Pinghu, and a large area of flat land around it was called Fengyuan, because of its abundant resources. The mountain range before entering the Hira Lake is named Yokoyama.

When Shi Zhi came in, Lin Yun was looking down to draw, he stood on the side and looked at it for a while, and then said, "This is where you take the boat?" ”

"yes. I marked the mountains and rivers I saw along the way, and gave them names to make it easy to locate. This area is Pinghu Lake and Fengyuan, where the terrain is flat, the water source is abundant, and the species are more diverse. ”

Shi Zhi nodded, "When will you go out next time?" ”

"Just came back, and there are no plans to go out again." Lin Yan looked at him in surprise, "You want to follow?" ”

"Yes. Seeing that you are all running out, I will also go out to broaden my horizons. You're right, as long as you have seen the size of the world, you can move forward bravely. I haven't left this place since I was born, and it's time to go out and have a look. ”

"Can you put down your research?" Lin Yan didn't believe it, Shi Zhi was a research maniac, he was addicted to the laboratory all day long, and he hadn't gone through Sun City.

Shi Zhi was silent for a moment, "I can do experiments on the ship." ”

"Well, you just have to think about it. Next time I go out, I'll get you a spot. However, there are still too few boats, and there is always no sense of security when there are fewer people going. ”

"The carpentry mill is already in a hurry, and it should be possible to make two ships this year, and a fleet of four ships can travel far away."

Sending Shi Zhi away, Lin Yan continued to draw, combined with Fat Bao's records, and tried to make the terrain and distance on the map more accurate.

At the beginning of March, Bai Chen asked Lin Yan to go to the papermaking workshop to see the progress of printing.

The first printing was an initial success, and Bai Chen carved out 20 character molds out of wood and made tools for card character molds.

Lin Yan carefully observed the glyphs printed on the paper, which were clear and neat, and the ink was not smudged, which looked neater and more beautiful than hand-copied.

"Yes, the right way, that's it. When more fonts are made, the book can be printed. You ask Hua Min to help you pick out the commonly used words in the dictionary and make a font model of the commonly used words first. ”

Bai Chen nodded, "Hua Min has already sorted it out." It takes a lot of time to make a word model, and you have to find a person with a good mind, and the progress is very slow. ”

"It's slow. But that's all you can do now, you bother to pick someone who can use it. In the future, you will be responsible for both papermaking and printing. ”

I went to see the newly made yellow paper again, the quality was relatively stable, and it could be made in large quantities, so Lin Yan left.

A few days later, the frame car booked by the family was made in advance, and Hua Bonus and Jin Tsai were very happy, and pulled the car around the street before going home.

In these years, there are very few people who can own a frame car, and everyone's envy can be imagined.

When Lin Yan returned home, there were still some people watching, shouting for a bonus treat, and buying a rack car was a great joy and worth celebrating.

Hua Hong said: "The money is used to buy a car, what kind of treat." When you have money, it's time for dinner, so let's go back quickly. ”

Lin Yan was happy when he heard this, the bonus was distressed about money, and he didn't want to spend money on treats.

When everyone left, Hua Hong said: "See, their envious eyes, this feels so good." ”

"A-Niang enjoys other people's compliments very much, and it will spread all over the city tomorrow."

"I just want everyone to know that we have a car."

Jin Zai smiled, "This is not good, it is too public, and it is easy to arouse the jealousy of others." ”

Lin Yan nodded in agreement, "Daddy can see it." ”

"Auntie, our family has a car, and others will borrow it in the future, whether you will give it or not."

The smile on Hua Hong's face froze, she hadn't thought of it so much.
