Seeing that everyone was puzzled by what they said, Lin Mo explained: "I said that I would repay you for your kindness, so I thought of doing my best to help you earn money together." I have some silver now, open some workshops, you come here to help me, I will not treat you badly, although I dare not guarantee that I will be really rich in the future, but it will definitely make you not worry about eating and drinking, especially if you are injured and disabled this time, whether you are willing to follow me or not, Lin Mo will not treat you badly in the future. ”

Everyone looked at each other, Lin Mo's meaning was very simple, that is, he wanted them to resign from the position of this official and follow him to open a workshop and a shop, for these officials, although this businessman is the lowest level of the "Shinong Industry and Commerce", it is better than their unpopular lowly people, and it is more relaxed to earn silver in the future than this hard work as a servant.

Tao Anxin took the lead in saying: "Anyway, now that he is a cripple, he will not be able to do it soon, if Lin Gongzi does not dislike it, we will follow Lin Gongzi, even if it is coolies, it is better than living at home with those rewards." Only then did Lin Mo find that Tao An's left arm had been hanging weakly, and it seemed that he had lost consciousness, and Lin Mo felt even more guilty in his heart.

The rest of the people nodded in agreement when they heard Tao An's words, and Lin Mo looked at these people and nodded: "Don't worry, as long as you follow me, I promise that I will never treat you badly." Zhao Pu and the others didn't say anything, and Lin Mo knew that they still had some concerns in their hearts.

Lin Mo took Xiao Zhuang and Zhao Pu to the bookstore in Qiannan, which was built by the Lu family, and was given to Lin Mo after it was built, and exchanged it for a profit, such an investment was also a big gamble for the Lu family. This bookstore is located in a small village two miles outside the city of Chennan.

This place is close to the official road, the transportation is convenient, Lin Mo and a few people walked here in less than half an hour, although this bookstore is not as good as what Lin Mo is building in Yunzhou now, but it is not small, looking at the rows of houses, and the busy helpers here, Xiao Zhuang looked a little distracted.

At this time, a familiar voice remembered: "Nephew Lin Xian, why are you here?" Lin Mo looked back and saw that it was Lu Guan's father, Lu Songnian. When Lin Mo saw it, he hurriedly arched his hand and said, "I just returned to Qiannan, and I happened to come over to take a look, why is my uncle here?" ”

Lu Songnian smiled when he heard this: "Our Lu family also has a copy of this bookstore, so naturally we have to come and see it often, so as not to be lazy and delay the sale of this printed book." Then he looked at Lin Mo and said: "Lin Xian's nephew is really amazing, in just a few months, the business of this book has been done in the entire Jiangnan Province, haha, it was really wise for me to exchange a bookstore for a profit." ”

Lin Mo smiled when he heard this, and then said, "This is also thanks to your support, uncle. Lu Songnian waved his hand and said: "What's polite, I haven't interfered with this bookstore since it was given to you, everything here is set up by you and He Gongzi, I just look on coldly, and I don't need to say these kind words like this, wouldn't it be a difference between us like this." ”

Lin Mo had no choice but to nod when he heard this, there was really no need for a smart person like Lu Songnian to say these polite words. Lu Songnian looked at the child Lin Mo was carrying and asked suspiciously, "Who is this child?" ”

Lin Mo smiled when he heard this: "This is my friend's child, this child should go to school, so I want to find him a gentleman." Lu Songnian smiled when he heard this: "This gentleman should go to this city to find it, come to this bookstore."

What to do, with Lin Mo's reputation and ability, finding a gentleman is not a matter of being caught. ”

Lin Mo showed a wry smile on his face when he heard this, this little Zhuang is the child of the servant, in this era, any arrogant scholar will never be willing to teach these lowly children, so Lin Mo retreated to the second, and wanted to find someone who is literate and hyphenated and not a reader to act as a gentleman, Lin Mo then thought of the bookstore, because some people in this bookstore are always printing books, although they can't learn as much as the people who take scientific examinations, but it is more than enough to teach children.

Lin Mo just said a few words, Lu Songnian was named Bai Linmo, Lu Qingya smiled: "This matter is also simple, as long as the money is given, these problems are not a problem." Then Lu Songnian called a person, this person should be forty or fifty years old, with a kind face, and when he saw Lin Mo, he immediately bowed his hand and said: "

The villain has seen the owner. Lu Songnian said: "This person's name is Xie Fei, he is the oldest among these booksellers, he has printed not a thousand books but eight hundred, the content of the book has long been familiar with the chest, more than many readers, the child handed over to him, there must be no problem." Lin Mo nodded when he heard this, and then asked, "Xie Fei, are you willing to be a teacher?" ”

Xie Fei was a little surprised when he heard this: "The owner, you are the head of the case, I am just a person who has not even taken the test as a child, how can this be done." Lin Mo smiled: "This is not for you to teach me, I have a few children, I want to find a gentleman to teach them literacy and hyphenation, if you are willing, I will definitely not treat you badly." ”

Xie Fei looked at the children on the side, a little dilemma, after all, although he was literate and hyphenated, he didn't know anything about teaching, and the two of them made a lot of money by printing books, if they were teaching, they might not earn as much money as they were now, but Lin Mo was his own owner, and it was not easy for him to refuse in person. Lin Mo seemed to see Xie Fei's concerns, and asked, "How many silver taels can you earn this month?" ”

When Xie Fei heard this, he hurriedly said, "This is about thirteen or fourteen taels of silver." Lin Mo nodded when he heard this, this is indeed a lot of silver, and ordinary people may earn more than a dozen taels of silver a year.

Lin Mo said: "In this way, I will give you twenty taels of silver every month, what do you think of teaching these children?" When Xie Fei heard this, his eyes lit up, and he was naturally very happy to earn more money in a month this time.

He said respectfully: "If the owner does not dislike it, the villain will definitely do his best to teach this child." Lin Mo nodded, this person was found, and the next thing was to put it here. Lin Mo looked at Lu Songnian and asked with a smile, "Uncle Lu, does the Lu family have some land and property around here?" ”

When Lu Songnian heard that he didn't know why Lin Mo asked this, he smiled and said: "This is naturally there, my Lu family has 800 acres of fertile land near here." ”

Lin Mo couldn't help but be taken aback when he heard it, these 800 acres are a lot in this southern area, the only common hobby of rich people in this era is to buy land, although He Ren's family is doing Caoyun trading, but there is also a lot of land in the family, although He Ren didn't say it explicitly, but Lin Mo probably guessed that there are at least 1,000 acres.

In this era, if you want to say the most valuable thing, it is not gold and silver but this field, as long as there is a field, even if it is a change of dynasty, the family can still continue, and the field is the lifeblood of these families. The Lu family is a big family in Chenan, and these 800 acres of land are naturally second to none in Chenan, maybe even the Ma family is not as much as his family, and the Lu family is considered to be this family

The big landlord of the south.

Lin Mo looked at Lu Songnian and said with a smile: "Uncle Lu, I plan to buy some land to build some workshops and private schools, I wonder if my uncle can bear to sell some land to me?" When Lu Songnian heard this, his eyes lit up, and then he said, "Oh? The virtuous nephew wants to build a workshop again, I don't know what kind of workshop to build? Is it a bookstore or a weaver? ”

Lin Mo shook his head and said, "I haven't thought about it for the time being, but I have to buy some land first, I don't know if my uncle can sell some to me?" Lu Songnian smiled when he heard this: "Haha, it's just some land, if the virtuous nephew wants to use me to give you more than ten acres, why bother talking about buying and selling, this is outside." ”

When Lin Mo heard this, he hurriedly said: "This transaction is a transaction, love is love, the two should not be confused, this should be as much silver as it is, if my uncle doesn't accept it, then I will go to another house to buy it." ”

When Lu Songnian heard this, he said: "Since this is the case, I will let my subordinates take the atlas and the field deed, and you can choose them." Then he sent someone back to his house to get the atlas and the field deed. The atlas marked the location of the Lu family's fields, and Lu Songnian took Lin Mo and the others to the Lu family's fields according to the annotation of the atlas, and then took the atlas and introduced the location and size of these fields to Lin Mo.

"These places are flat, east of the Qingliu River, south of the south of the city, on the side is the official road, not far from your general town, if you want to open a workshop is naturally an excellent location, if you don't like it, I can also take you to see this other place." Lu Songnian said with a smile.

Lin Mo took a look, this land is indeed in an excellent location, and it is one of the few places near Chennan that is suitable for his own planning. Lin Mo nodded and said, "Well, that's it, how many silver taels does my uncle want for this land?" ”

Lu Songnian said with a smile: "The market price of this mu of land is eleven taels and eight dollars, I only count you as eleven taels, and a fraction is considered a little bit of my mind, you pick it first, and then it will be cost-effective when you pick it." Lin Mo nodded, this acre of land is indeed very reasonable.

Lin Mo looked at the fields and finally asked, "Uncle, how many acres of land are here?" Lu Songnian looked at the atlas and finally said, "About 200 acres." ”

Lin Mo thought for a moment and said, "Two hundred acres? That's two thousand two hundred taels of silver. Lu Songnian said with a smile: "There is indeed more land here, you can pick a few acres is enough, if you don't know how to choose, I will help you choose, rest assured that I will never let you suffer." When Lin Mo heard this, he shook his head and said; Don't pick, I'll take them all. ”

When Lu Qingya heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then said, "This is two hundred acres of land." It's enough for you to open 200 workshops, what do you want so much land for? Lin Mo smiled slightly and said: "Naturally, it is to open a workshop, of course, if there are more, I will hire some more people to plant crops, and I will not waste the land." ”

Lu Songnian thought for a moment, he felt that this Lin Mo should be thinking about buying some land here, this workshop is secondary, it just so happens that he has land, it is much more convenient to buy from himself than to buy elsewhere, in this case, his own land is only six or seven taels per acre, and if he sells these two hundred acres of land, he can earn at least seven or eight hundred taels, and he will not lose money, and he can also pull in the relationship with Lin Mo, why not do it.
