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

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

After a few pleasantries, Ye Guoguo, Ji Jingbai and the other guys unloaded the paper, ink and other items from the carriage and placed them at the entrance of the yard.

Those guys didn't come with an empty carriage today, but brought paper, ink and other supplies.

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

The shopkeeper asked the guys to drop by and bring it here to save them two trips.

After unloading paper, ink and other items, the clerks began to check the books in the shed. After seeing that there were no problems with the quality and quantity of the books, they moved the books onto the carriage.

Ye Guoguo and Ji Jingbai had already agreed on the price with the shopkeeper yesterday. If the quality and quantity were OK, so many books would be more than 2,800 taels.

But because he bought more than 800 taels of paper, ink and other items, in the end, the clerk only used the full 2,000 taels to give Ye Guoguo and Ji Jingbai.

The two sides exchanged documents again to prove this, and then the guys drove the carriage back to the town, carrying cart after cart of books.

During this period, some workers could not help but be curious and looked back at the workshop.

But the workshop was high in the yard and the door was closed, so they couldn't see inside at all. They were really curious as to why the book seller never let them enter the workshop. At most, they only went to the entrance of the workshop.

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

After everything was moved into the workshop, Ye Guoguo and Ji Jingbai went to their uncle Ji Shan and told them about hiring fifty people.

When the uncle heard this, he was very surprised at first. Then he stood up and said very seriously that he was going to find Li Zheng.

This is a great thing, and it will make life easier for many people in Shiliba Village. When Li Zheng heard this, he immediately asked his son to call the village chiefs of the other seven villages to come to his house to discuss this matter.

There are eight village chiefs in these eight villages, and Ji Shan is one of them. They are all under the supervision of Li Zheng. When Li Zheng saw the other seven village chiefs coming, he told Ji Jingbai and Ye Guoguo's workshop that they would still hire fifty more people.

Personal matters.

After discussion, the nine people finally agreed on fifty young men.

The fifty men selected all meet four conditions: first, they are young and strong, and they work for others, not for fun; second, they have decent character; third, their families are relatively poor; and finally, they cannot come from

The same family means that these fifty men come from fifty families.

Once the agreement was reached, Li Zheng and the other seven village chiefs looked at Ji Shan and said, "Old Ji, I'll leave this to you. You are their uncle, and you can speak better than us."

Ji Shan only felt that his face was different and his whole person was different. He touched his beard and said with a red smile: "My nephew and niece-in-law have entrusted me with their care. They just believe that I won't find some bad things for them to make up for. This

The fifty people must have decided so. You can go find these people and sign the deed at my nephew and nephew's wife's house. I just need to go back and tell them first."

"Then Lao Ji, you 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 Examination this year and becomes a master, he will
