Others are fleeing famine, but I am a salted fish

It is true that if you compare yourself with others, you will die; if you compare goods, you will throw them away; happiness is all about comparison.

On the other hand, Lin Xiaoyue and the Seventh Uncle went their separate ways after leaving the palace.

One of them hurried back to the village and found an old soldier who was good at carpentry, and made an N:1 model of the real object.

At the same time, materials for making sand table models must be collected as soon as possible.

Yes, Lin Xiaoyue had a rough idea in her mind. She wanted to make a sand table model similar to the one that a modern sales office would show to potential home buyers.

This is one of the most commonly used display tools in modern marketing.

Through elements such as building layout, module planning, greening design, etc., some will also use lighting and other technical means to enhance the display effect. It can not only help customers more intuitively understand the layout planning and design displayed in the sandbox, but also allow customers to more intuitively feel the reality of the internal layout.

This kind of sand table model is very common in modern times. But in the imaginary ancient times, it has never appeared. If it can be made, not only the financial sponsors, but also the bigwigs of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Revenue will be amazed.

The Seventh Uncle went to see the Minister of War and other veteran generals and got a list of the wounded and disabled soldiers who had retreated from the border so far.

He had to first circle out the names of the soldiers who had retreated due to injuries near the imperial city and count their number.

Then ask the housekeeper to arrange people to investigate and see who is currently having difficulties in life, and make arrangements for these people first.

At the same time, the people who were investigating had to find out clearly how many of the family members of these wounded soldiers knew how to embroider, and then arrange for them to make the dolls that San Yatou mentioned.

As for those who can't embroider and don't have any handicraft skills, as long as they are diligent, they can also work as sanitation workers, landscaping workers, maintenance workers, etc. in the entertainment city.

He had to hurry up, lest the six ministries or other dignitaries send people in. The old soldiers and generals who retired due to injuries, and their families, lost their hard-earned jobs.

When Lin Xiaoyue returned to the farm, it was almost dark.

Since there were more than 200 people in the village and they were all eating together, rushing back now was almost the right time for dinner.

So she just shouted in the dining room, asking the uncles and aunts present if there were any who knew how to do wood carving or something like that, as she needed to carve a few models.

After spending nearly a month together, they got to know each other. They saw each other all the time. Everyone was familiar with Lin Sanya, the girl who taught them how to make cement, crossbows, and distilled liquor, and helped them improve their living standards. She also spent all day in the iron forge.

Now, when she shouted loudly, those who knew some hand-carving skills would raise their hands to respond.

Lin Xiaoyue counted them around and found that there were quite a lot. There were actually more than thirty uncles who could carve small things.

Lin Xiaoyue thought about it and decided to gather all the uncles and aunts together, and told them to have a small meeting in the empty room next to the ironworks after dinner. Everyone nodded in agreement without any hesitation.

After dinner, Li Xiaoyue asked Xiaocao, Ergouzi and others to carry the blackboard that they had made during this period of time to the meeting room. She also wanted some chalk.

Yes, Lin Xiaoyue locked herself and those old soldiers who were interested in blacksmithing in the blacksmith room, and they kept clanging and hammering.

But Chun Xing, Xiao Cao, Er Gouzi and the dumb medicine boy were in trouble. After they were in charge of teaching the people in the manor how to make distilled liquor, they had nothing to do. Seeing that the people were struggling to keep accounts, they took out the chalk and blackboard from the Lin family manor and gave them to them.

This is great! It's a great benefit to Lin Xiaoyue and saves her a lot of effort.

For the veterans who were summoned to the conference room, these days can be said to be their most fulfilling days.

With the help of Lin Xiaoyue and her friends, they all made a lot of money and felt more at ease.

They don't have to cling to the Seventh Uncle like a blood-sucking leech all day long and rely on him alone to support so many veterans.

To be honest, they themselves felt bad, as if they were wounded. After retiring from the battlefield, they couldn't even farm and were like useless people.

How are they now? The arrival of the little girl has changed their previous decadent and embarrassing situation of just asking for help. It has given them the motivation to live, and the ability to support themselves, and even create value through labor, and can help more wounded soldiers like them.

Everyone was very grateful for the help from the girls and wanted to give something back, but they had no way to do so.

Now, the little girl needed them, so they had to finish their meals quickly, gather in the conference room and sit down, waiting for her to come.

When Lin Xiaoyue entered the conference room, she was shocked to see more than 30 people sitting in a row.

You all arrived too quickly.

Chun Xing and three others were also sitting aside waiting. Although they knew nothing about wood carving, they also wanted to hear if there was anything they could help with.

Having this kind of enthusiasm and drive is a good thing for both parties. They cooperate with each other and get things done as quickly as possible. This way, she can feel a little more at ease when she returns.

Lin Xiaoyue briefly mentioned to everyone the afternoon's discussion with the Emperor and the Seventh Prince, the two financial sponsors, about the construction of the entertainment city.

When everyone heard this, they were surprised that there was such a good thing. Not only could it create a large number of jobs and solve their employment problems, but it would also allow their families to find a stable job.

This is a good thing, a very good thing.

As a result, the uncles and aunts present were even more motivated. They all asked Lin Xiaoyue to tell them what they needed to do, and they would definitely go all out and do their best.

Lin Xiaoyue distributed the drawings she had prepared for everyone to take a look at first. At the same time, she explained that these things that looked a little strange were the facilities used to build the entertainment city.

At the same time, she also talked about her intention of making a sand table model.

In this model, the overall layout of the entertainment city will be clear at a glance, and it will be divided into three different areas, including a children's play area, a food street, and a water park area.

As she spoke, she drew a rough outline of her concept on the blackboard, so that everyone could further understand that each area has a unique theme and characteristics, and through regional division, the flow of people can be effectively organized to ensure that tourists will not feel crowded or confused during their visit.

After such an explanation, it was easy for everyone to understand that the model that Lin Xiaoyue wanted to make was roughly a miniature of the real version. Just like the map they used when fighting, but it was more intuitive and more three-dimensional than the map.
