After people are sad and sad for a while, life continues as usual.
With Huang Ye's death, the position of a cutter became vacant, which became a new topic.
Lin Yan was also sad, but she also knew that this was reality.
People will eventually die of old age, and no one can live forever. Those who are alive can only do their best to live their lives well without any regrets.
She suddenly thought, if one day she suddenly died, would she have any regrets?
Sun City has been getting better and better in recent years, which is the result of everyone’s joint efforts. And she wants to create a better Sun City, but there are still many things that have not been done.
Today's life is still very backward. People were barely able to survive, and they could not bear to suffer from cold and hunger. Their food was so poor that they even had no salt.
There are so many things to work on, and they all take time.
Lin Yan shook his head and threw away the messy thoughts, focusing on the present and patiently laying the foundation for the future.
Looking at the healthy wheat seedlings, this is what she should focus on this year.
The arbitral tribunal gave Yucai the responsibility for land registration. She is the leader of the eighth group, and she will manage all land reclamation matters in the future.
In the past few days, Yucai has started to register. She took two people to measure each family's wasteland. I happened to be at Lin Yan's house today.
They saw Lin Yan walking around in the fields, but they had never seen anything in the fields.
Yucai squatted in the ground and looked carefully. Lin Yan's house was planted with the same thing, like cogon grass, but the color was darker, dark green, and the leaves were thicker.
"What is this kind of thing?"
Lin Yan smiled and said: "Wheat. This area is full of wheat seedlings. It will be harvested in a few months."
"Wheat?" Yucai wondered, "What is that?"
"A kind of grain can be widely cultivated. If the yield increases, it can completely feed everyone. It is more important than iron."
"This thing is really edible?" Yu Cai looked at Mai Miao suspiciously, "It looks like a weed, what can you eat?"
"Not long after it was planted, ears of wheat will grow and grains of wheat will grow. That will be the fruit, wheat that can be eaten."
"Can wheat be eaten directly? Is it like the pockmarks of roe?"
Lin Yan shook his head, "Wheat cannot be eaten raw. When ground into powder, it becomes flour, which can be used to make noodles, steamed buns, pancakes, and countless other foods."
Yucai's eyes flashed with excitement when she heard this, "You can really make so many things, is it delicious?"
"It's delicious." Lin Yan was very sure. As one of the most important foods in the history of human development, wheat's status is self-evident.
Staring at the wheat field, Yucai said, "Can I plant it at home? Do you have any seeds? I can buy them." Judging from what Lin Yan has done in the past few years, it is just right to follow her lead.
"Let's wait until next year. After the harvest in my area, we can harvest a lot of wheat. I will share some with you then."
"Okay, don't forget it." Yucai warned worriedly. She was not the only one keeping an eye on Lin Yan's movements. Others must also be making up their minds.
"Don't forget, you are the first to plant wheat. I will plant wheat for you first."
After looking at the two people behind Yucai, she asked, "You are here to measure the land, right? How many homes have you measured already?"
Yucai said cheerfully: "It's only been a few days since we started, and we've only measured a dozen households. Is this part of your house that's being measured today all yours?"
Lin Yan pointed at the connected land, "These are the lands that have been opened, but the land over there has not been opened. We plan to open them all this year. Can we measure them all at once and register them together?"
"Yes. Many people do this. They register all the enclosed land and slowly open up land later. This saves us from having to measure it again and increase the workload."
Lin Yan followed Yu Cai and pointed out the land boundary to them. Next to her house was the Minglan family's land, which had been cleared. There was a bush more than three meters wide between the two families' land, which was specially set aside. Yes, we will build roads in the future.
After the survey is completed, Lin Yan's family will have a total of sixteen acres of land. Yucai and the others will register it first. After the land survey is completed, wooden signs will be made and distributed to each family.
After the others left, Lin Yan looked at Yu Cai's and the others' backs thoughtfully.
The arbitral tribunal is now headed by Alan. She is a practical person and acts resolutely when things are finalized.
It has only been more than ten days and everything has been arranged.
The land registration management was handed over to Yucai, so as for other things, there should be dedicated people in charge.
Thinking of this, Lin Yan was inevitably curious and immediately went to find Alan to find out the situation.
Alan was immersed in writing something. There were a lot of wood chips piled on the table. He was surprised to see Lin Yan coming. "Why are you here? Are you not busy anymore?"
She heard that Lin Yan had been immersed in the fields recently and went to the laboratory less often.
Lin Yan smiled and said, "Hey, I'm busy. I came to see you if I have something to do."
Alan put down what he was doing and said, "Tell me, you are a very busy person and it is rare for you to come here. I heard that you are studying wheat, how are you?"
"Fortunately, it will take several generations to see it. Gang Yucai also asked me for wheat seeds and plans to plant wheat next year."
"Are there any seeds?" Alan asked hurriedly, "I heard that once you plant wheat, you won't have to worry about having enough to eat. My family will also plant some."
"There are not enough seeds. It is initially estimated that wheat can be planted twice a year. When seeds are available next year, we will find a few trial plants and observe them for another year to select excellent seeds and cultivate them from generation to generation. Large-scale planting will have to wait."
"According to what you said, it will take another two or three years."
"Yeah, that's the theory. It takes time to select good wheat seeds before you can grow high-yielding wheat. However, selecting high-quality seeds is a long-term process. A lot of wheat will be planted next year. In addition to being used as seeds, You should be able to eat it.”
"That's good. My family will also grow some wheat next year. Let's taste what the wheat you mentioned tastes like."
Lin Yan nodded in agreement. Judging from her trial planting this year, two or three kilograms of wheat seeds can plant one acre of land. At that time, some families will be selected and each family will be allocated an acre of wheat seeds.
"Today Yucai took someone to measure my land. I came here to find out how other things are going. Who is responsible for household registration management?"
Alan immediately understood Lin Yan's intention and explained the recent arrangements.
The household registration management was left to Xia Li, the leader of the 12th group. She has already led people to count the population and register and file each household.
The work of publicizing the Basic Law and policies was handed over to Ye Meng, the leader of the eleventh group. She can be seen going door to door preaching every day.
Yun Qing, captain of the second squadron of the military, is responsible for the security and defense of Sun City. She holds the highest position among women in the military, only under the black soil.
"At present, it seems that everyone is doing their duty and the progress is not bad. The finance department just came to report the accounts for the previous three months, and I am looking at it."
Alan paused for a moment and then said: "According to last year's settlement, the expenses were far greater than the income. The same is true for this year. How can we make up for such a large sum of money?"
Before Lin Yan came, Alan was worried about the huge deficit. With so many people to support and wages to pay, how can we get so much money?
