When he arrived at the Civil Affairs Bureau and met people, Lin Yan realized what Yun Qing and the others had gone through during their trip.
Unexpectedly, there was a civil strife in the Qingyan tribe, so it was good to send five children.
The Yuanye tribe even refused. In the end, only Yuan Qing and Yuan He allowed their children to come. This result was beyond everyone's expectations.
Hua Min: "Are the two tribes guarding against us?"
"That's not necessarily true. It's not easy to feed a child. It's understandable that they are reluctant and afraid to send the baby over." Lin Yan suddenly thought of this.
The infant mortality rate of the children of the Sun Tribe was so high in the past, and the Qingyan and Yuanye Tribes should not be much better.
Children are the future of a tribe, and it is not easy for those who survive. Sending children out is indeed a risk.
Take Sun City as an example. Today's premature death rate is not that high, but it is still 12 out of 10. Given the reality, it is understandable that parents don't want their children to live so far away from home.
After thinking about it, Lin Yan stopped forcing himself and looked at the seven children seriously. Their eyes were full of curiosity, and everything they looked at was extremely novel.
Lin Yan said: "Hua Min, you will be in charge of them from now on. You must teach them well and don't let people come all the way and return without success."
"Don't worry, I will teach you well."
Qinghua had stayed in Sun City for a while and got to know Lin Yan and Hua Min. After hearing what they said, she hurriedly said, "I'll ask you to take care of these kids from now on."
Hua Min: "This is what I should do."
Lin Yan suddenly said: "Qinghua, you can also work in Sun City to make money."
Hearing this, Qinghua was stunned and immediately understood Lin Yan's intention, "I, can I really make money by working?"
She had thought about it before she came. She might stay in Sun City for a long time, and what would she do if the salt she brought couldn't be replaced with food and drink.
"Of course. Sun City treats everyone the same. As long as you abide by the laws of Sun City, you are the same as us. We support you to live by your own efforts."
As a representative sent by the Civil Affairs Bureau, Hua Xiang was responsible for receiving Qinghua and his party. She continued: "When everything is settled, I will tell you about the laws of Sun City. As long as it is not illegal, we will treat them equally."
Lin Yan nodded in agreement: "Hua Xiang is right, Sun City treats everyone the same, so don't treat yourselves like outsiders."
After meeting the person, Lin Yan returned to the laboratory and sat behind his desk, thinking about the next arrangements.
It’s almost August, and more than half of the year has passed. The most important thing next is harvesting wheat. Other things are also proceeding in an orderly manner.
The iron smelting plant at the mine is on track this year, and a large amount of refined iron has been shipped back one after another.
Since the opening of the mine road, there is no need to worry over there, and the current supply of ore can fully keep up. Most of it is used to forge elite weapons and the rest is used for daily needs.
The salt was available and the cotton was found. Lin Yan had already told Hong Ling to follow her to the wilderness tribe to purchase cotton when she had time. If possible, it is better to grow your own cotton.
Cotton is more comfortable than linen. Hong Ling is very concerned about this. It won't be long before she can wear cotton clothes. She can also wear cotton clothes in this year's cold season.
Continuously, there are more and more shops on the commercial street. In addition to restaurants, oil shops, garment shops, etc., there are also grocery stores.
Thinking of this, Lin Yan felt a little emotional. People's brains are really flexible. They can find business opportunities without guidance and do many things spontaneously.
A lot of salt was transported back on this trip, but it took a while for people in Sun City to change their understanding of salt. Lin Yan was helpless about this.
Even though she said it was all very glamorous, many people would not be happy if people spent money to buy salt. They didn't have salt before, so they didn't live well.
It is a rare development to get the arbitral tribunal to agree to ship out the ship for salt exchange. We can only try to figure it out slowly. It takes time to change people's inherent concepts of life.
"What are you thinking about?" Huang Ying came in and saw Lin Yan staring at one spot for a long time without even realizing she was coming.
"A busy man, it's rare to see you like this. Are you encountering a problem?"
Lin Yan sighed, "It's not a problem. This is not a batch of salt shipped back. I'm thinking about how to sell it. Piling the salt in the supplies department is not an option."
"You're too impatient." Huang Ying found a stool and sat down. "Salt is a new thing, and it always takes time for people to adapt. But its effects cannot be seen or touched. It takes a long time to eat them before you can appreciate them. I'll be honest. You said, I have personally tasted it, and food with added salt does taste different. Even if you only add a little bit, there is a significant change, and many people are not used to it."
"Lin Yan, don't worry too much. Just wait until everyone gets used to it. Then you won't have to push them, and they will all take the initiative to buy salt. There are many people eating in your restaurant, so ask your mother-in-law to put less salt when cooking. , people who eat it can also accept it, and it will get better slowly."
"Well, I know, I'm just a little anxious. Why did you come to me?"
Lin Yan knew that Huang Ying was a busy person and was immersed in medical research every day. She was rarely seen in the city.
Huang Ying smiled and said: "I just saw your door open, so I came in to take a look. By the way, do you have any new information on the basics of herbal medicine? My recent research found that the book on the basics of herbal medicine becomes more and more profound the more I read it. Chapter 1 After the second chapter, there are many references to the following chapters. I don’t know what the following chapters are about, so I’m here to ask you.”
After understanding it, Lin Yan suddenly became energetic. She said that she seemed to have forgotten something. She was busy cultivating her spiritual power recently, so she had less time to copy books every day, and the dictionary was only one-fifth of the way through. She wanted to finish it as soon as possible, so she took the time to copy the dictionary every day. I don’t have time to copy anything else.
Huang Ying came to the door, and Lin Yan was shocked to realize that the promise she had made had not yet been fulfilled. The basics of herbal medicine are really boring and obscure, and this is the hardest book to copy.
Every time Lin Yan copied, she looked like she was worse off than dead. She was just a tool without a thought. She kept writing, and what she wrote was completely out of her mind.
As of today, she has only copied 120 pages out of a total of more than 600 pages, and she just got stuck at the end of the third chapter.
Let Pang Bao find the basics of herbal medicine. Looking at the catalog, Lin Yan understood why Huang Ying came to urge her. Some basic terms and professional terminology of this book, as well as detailed notes, are in the appendices of later chapters.
Seeing this, Lin Yan raised her eyebrows. Why didn't she take a closer look at such important information? She just copied it step by step.
Thinking of the more than two hundred pages of appendices at the back, Lin Yan was very confused. When she met Huang Ying's expectant eyes, she forced a smile and said, "Don't worry, wait a little longer, and I'll give it to you as soon as possible."
"When?" Huang Ying couldn't help but ask. More than two years have passed now, and the complete version of the book feels far away.
(End of chapter)
