Although I had made a decision, I delayed going to the Civil Service Bureau to pay taxes on the bonus, just to keep the money in my hands for a few more days.
After the taxes were paid, in late December, the annual convention began.
The arbitral tribunal summarized what happened this year and reported the tax situation and fiscal expenditures for the year, so that everyone could have an idea.
Taxation was originally intended to be collected from the people and used by the people, so it is necessary to give an explanation to taxpayers.
Generally speaking, Sun City has developed rapidly this year, and every household has a surplus of food, so people don't have to worry about food. More people can afford clothes and ironware, and their lives have improved.
The achievements of the laboratory are the most eye-catching. It has developed tools such as rollers, millstones, and carriages. The success of the boat is also a huge progress, laying the foundation for long-distance travel on the water.
The opening of the mine road provides convenience for the transportation of ore. When the ore can be quickly transported back, the dangers on the road are greatly reduced.
Houses and enclosures were also built over the mine, and the iron smelting plant came into operation to meet the demand for iron.
Everything is developing in a better direction, and people are excited to hear it. Unknowingly, everyone has done so many great things this year.
As the conference ends, the year comes to an end and a new year begins.
After years of testing, people have become accustomed to the calendar and have gradually formed a habit of doing what they should do at what time.
At the beginning of the seventh year of the Solar Era, Lin Yan went to see Hua Min's teaching results and was quite surprised when he saw Li again. His skin became smooth and healthy brown, his facial features were three-dimensional, and his eyes were deep, and he looked like a handsome guy.
Hua Min saw Lin Yan was stunned and snickered: "I'm dumbfounded. Isn't he very handsome? There are no men in Sunshine City who are so good-looking."
I think it was like this when she first saw it. It was really beautiful.
Lin Yan came to his senses, smiled and praised: "He is indeed handsome, he looks so handsome."
"Do you really think so?" Li asked happily.
Lin Yan nodded, "What you said is so accurate. You learn very quickly."
"It's pretty fast. The people in the Treehouse Tribe have studied hard and have basically mastered it. Daily communication is no problem. I finally completed the task." Hua Min felt relieved, "By the way, his name is now Li Shu."
"Why is it called this calligraphy?" Lin Yan was surprised when he saw the name written by Hua Min, "Did the others also change their names?"
Hua Min nodded, "He especially liked books, so he named him Li Shu. His people all changed their surname to Li, and they all chose their own names."
Since Li Shu chose it himself, Lin Yan didn't say much. She smiled and said, "Live a good life from now on. If you have any problems, you can come to me, or you can go to the arbitration tribunal to help you solve it."
"No problem, you guys are so nice." His pronunciation was still a little inaccurate, but he could understand it.
Li Shu was grateful from the bottom of his heart. Not just him, but his people as well. Coming to Sun City was the right choice. It gave them a new life.
Lin Yan smiled and said: "In the future, you will also be part of Sun City. You must get along well with everyone. As long as you act in accordance with the law, your life will get better and better."
She looked at Hua Min and said, "You are a great hero. I will apply for a bonus for you."
"Okay. I'm short of money recently, so I'll give you more bonuses."
"Are you short of money?" Lin Yan didn't believe it. "What do you want to buy?"
"You don't know yet?" Hua Min looked at Lin Yan with a confused face and said incredulously: "What have you been doing these days? You haven't heard of such a big thing."
"What are you talking about?"
"The garment workshop has made a new kind of cloth, dyed, and I heard it looks very good. Let's go and have a look."
Hua Min had never seen dyed linen before. When she heard about it, she was very excited and wanted to buy it to make clothes.
Lin Yan really didn't know about this, "Let's go and have a look."
Hong Ling has been studying dyeing cloth for a long time and has never heard of any progress. Is it really dyed?
The two of them went straight to the garment shop, which was in the middle of the commercial street. Along the way, many shops had been built and several were already open for business.
When they came, the garment shop was open and there were not many people inside.
Hong Xiu was cleaning and was very surprised to see them, "Why are you two here so early? Are you looking for Hong Ling?"
"No, we want to see the dyed cloth." Hua Min said as she looked around, but couldn't find the target, "Why isn't it here?"
"So it's for this. The dyed cloth has just been made. There are only three pieces, and I haven't planned to sell them yet. They are not displayed here. Come on, I will take you to see them."
The backyard of the garment workshop was very large, and there were many houses built there. Hongxiu took them to one of them and introduced: "This is a place dedicated to dyeing cloth. Things are messy inside, so be careful."
When she saw the cloth Hongxiu took out, Hua Min was surprised: "It's really dyed. Is it brown?"
"It's brown, that's what Hong Ling said. I think it's a little darker than the linen cloth, and it doesn't look much better. I don't know if it can be sold after all the hard work."
"It will definitely sell. The darker color is more resistant to stains, and it's good to wear it in a different color from others." Hua Min touched it, "It's softer than linen and not so rough."
Lin Yan touched it carefully when he saw it, "That's right. Maybe some changes occurred during the dyeing process."
She turned to look at Hongxiu and asked, "Will the color fade when I wash it?"
"It's slightly faded. This is already the best. The first one was seriously faded, so Hong Ling kept making changes. This is the one she's most satisfied with."
"Are you really not selling it?" Hua Min looked at Hong Xiu pleadingly, "I want to make a suit of clothes with dyed cloth."
"We are not selling it to outsiders. You two are not outsiders. I will definitely make short-sleeved shorts for you." Hong Xiu looked at them with a smile, "When this cloth can be made in large quantities, I will give it to you first." use."
"Okay, make me a dress first. Don't worry, I'll give you the money and I won't let you give it away for free." Hua Min said hurriedly. She would wear something different so that she would look different. It felt good to think about it.
While several people were talking, Hong Ling walked in and said, "I'll give it to you for free. Don't be polite to me. I'll ask you for help in the future. Let's find a way to dye better-looking cloth together."
Dyeing cloth is a complex chemical change process. After practicing it, Hong Ling felt that it was not easy to achieve. More in-depth exploration and attempts are needed.
Hua Min and Lin Yan are both excellent in chemistry, and I will definitely ask them for advice frequently in the future.
"What a gift. I'm not polite if you say that." Hua Min smiled.
Lin Yan also said, "I won't refuse."
Several people looked at each other and smiled. Hong Xiu saw them talking around the big dyeing vat, then picked up Hong Ling's records and looked through them. They kept talking and went to work with a smile.
The three of them talked about the dyeing issue for more than an hour and gave Hong Ling a lot of ideas and directions.
