It was not difficult to collect the books, because every time Ye Guoguo and Ji Jingbai would move the books from the workshop on the mountain to the old house and let them buy them.

They don't even need to go to the river.

After a few words of greeting, Ye Guoguo, Ji Jingbai, and those guys unloaded the paper and ink on the carriage and put them at the gate of the courtyard.

Those fellows didn't come in an empty carriage at all, but brought paper and ink and other things.

These things were bought by Ye Guoguo and Ji Jingbai when they told the bookstore keeper yesterday that they would send someone to collect the books today.

The shopkeeper asked the guys to bring it by the way today, and save two trips.

After removing the paper and ink, the men began to inspect the books in the shed, and when they saw that there was nothing wrong with the quality and quantity of the books, they loaded the books into the carriage.

The price Ye Guoguo and Ji Jingbai had already told the shopkeeper yesterday that if the texture and quantity were okay, so many books would be more than two thousand eight hundred taels.

But because he bought more than 800 taels of paper and ink, in the end, the guy only used exactly 2,000 taels for Ye Guoguo and Ji Jingbai.

The two sides exchanged notes to prove the matter, and the men drove back to the town in a carriage with cart after cart of books.

During this period, some guys couldn't help but be curious and glanced back at the workshop.

But the courtyard of the workshop was high, and the gate of the courtyard was closed, so they couldn't see inside at all. They were really curious about why the book seller never let them go into the workshop, at most they went to the door of the workshop.

Ye Guoguo didn't care if those guys looked back, she just put away the two thousand taels of silver tickets, and then moved the paper and ink and other things into the workshop with her husband.

After moving everything into the workshop, Ye Guoguo and Ji Jingbai went to find Uncle Jishan and said that they would hire fifty people.

When the uncle heard this, he was taken aback at first, and then he got up and said very seriously that he was going to find Lizheng.

This is a great thing, a great thing that makes life better for many people in Shili and Eight Villages, Li Zheng heard this, and immediately asked his son to call the village chiefs of the other seven villages to come to his house to discuss this matter.

These ten miles and eight villages, eight village heads, Ji Shan is one of them, all under the management of Li Zheng, as soon as Li Zheng saw the other seven village chiefs coming, he said that Ji Jingbai and Ye Guoguo Workshop still need to hire fifty people.

Nine people, after negotiations, finally agreed on fifty young men.

The fifty men who were set up all met four conditions: first, they were young and strong, and they were to work for people, not to play; Then, the character is passable; Again, the family is relatively poor; The last point is that it can't be from the same family, which is equivalent to these 50 men from 50 families.

As soon as the agreement was agreed, Li Zheng and the other seven village chiefs looked at Ji Shan and said, "Old Ji, this matter will be bothered to you, you are their uncle, you can talk better than us." ”

Ji Shan only felt that his face was long, and the whole person was different, touching his beard, and said with a red smile: "My nephew and niece and daughter-in-law have asked me, I just believe that I will not give them some bad ones to fill up, these fifty people must be so decided, you can go to these people to my nephew and niece-in-law's house to sign the deed, I just need to go back and tell them first." ”

"Then Lao Ji, go quickly." After saying this, the other seven village chiefs couldn't help but praise: "Your Ji family is really getting more and more promising, if your son is admitted to the Juren this year and becomes a master, it will be even more terrible." ”
