Lu Yunjin took out the manuscript he had already written from under the table and handed it to Qin Xuezheng.

The latter couldn't wait to open it, and the more he read...the brighter his eyes became. Finally, he gave a thumbs up, "Brother Lu! This chapter of yours is...unbelievable!"

Lu Yunjin leaned back in the wheelchair relaxedly, and raised his eyes with a half-smile when he heard the words.

With this oppressive look, Qin Xuezheng looked around and saw that Luo Xi was not there, so he did not dare to stay long! Holding the book in his arms... he ran away in a flash.

He was either afraid or anxious to go back and copy books.

There was no movable type printing in Dayong, so all the books sold on the market relied on manual copying.

Coupled with the cost of pens, inks, paper and inkstones, books are expensive and it is difficult for ordinary people to read.

"..."

Two days later, "The End" was officially sold at the Qin Family Bookstore. It was different from the novel story of a gifted scholar, a beautiful woman, and a fox demon scholar. Students who had read the opening chapter rushed to buy it.

For a time, "The End" became popular in the county.

When the students who were responsible for copying books in the backyard saw the grand scene of queuing up to buy books in the front yard, they almost burst into tears: "I can't finish copying! I really can't finish copying!!!"

"..."

Zhengdao Village——

The oil pressing plant was officially completed today. The five-meter-high factory building is boxy and divided into three areas.

Refining, filtering, and packaging.

The villagers gathered around and pointed outside the compound. They only knew that they had built such a strange house, but they didn't know what it was used for.

During the discussion, Luo Xi held a large pile of bamboo tubes and placed them in the courtyard. Lu Yunjin's smiling voice came from behind: "Can you light firecrackers?"

Luo Xi felt that she had been underestimated! Not to mention firecrackers, she has fired laser cannons.

I couldn't help but say: "When I was playing with these, you didn't know where to pee or mud!"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a gust of cold wind behind him. Lu Yunjin looked at her with deep eyes, tugged his thin red lips, and said two words, neither light nor heavy: "Yes."

Luo Xi turned back in confusion: "Has the temperature dropped?"

At this time, the prepared fire was burning brightly. Luo Xi bent down, grabbed the bamboo tube at her feet and threw it into the fire.

The sound of "cracking" firecrackers sounded. Luo Xi kept throwing them, and the sound of firecrackers continued.

Qin Xuezheng was carrying two large bamboo baskets of candy outside the courtyard. Luo Xi followed closely behind and said to the villagers watching the excitement:

"Everyone, the oil mill is opening today. You can eat candies as you like! In an hour, the oil mill will be recruiting workers. The wages will be one or two per month. Those who are interested can prepare to sign up."

"What?"

"What oil mill? What kind of recruitment? I'm a good boy, one or two wages per month... is it true?"

"Shall I get...one tael of wages? I won't be able to earn it in half a year."

After Luo Xi finished speaking, the surrounding villagers were immediately shocked. They gathered around and asked eagerly:

"Xiao Luo! Tell me, what kind of work do you do? I'll give you one tael a month!"

"That's right! What's the oil press? I've never heard of it."

"Xiao Luo, Xiao Luo, please explain clearly!"

Luo Xi was surrounded by enthusiastic villagers. They all talked to each other without giving her a chance to speak.

Luo Xi squeezed it gently... there was a click, and as soon as she took it into her hand to set off the firecracker, the stick, which was as thick as an adult's arm, instantly split into two sections.

A half-smile swept over the astonished faces of the villagers, and her red lips parted lightly: "Calm down?"

Villager: "..." Immediately retreated and stood outside the courtyard.

They are not afraid, they just respect the God of Wealth.

Seeing that the effect was achieved, Luo Xi's quiet voice spoke clearly: "Everyone knows about lard. Our oil factory produces vegetable oil."

"What kind of vegetable oil! Can that thing be delicious? The oil is made from pork."

As soon as she finished speaking, a man in the crowd curled his lips and spoke loudly.

Luo Xi glanced over with a cold look, and the coldness in her eyes made the man's whole body go cold, and he immediately shut up.

"You love radishes and I love cabbage. Don't make assumptions with your poor brain."

"I will only recruit people to be responsible for production. The county magistrate and Mr. Qin will be responsible for the rest."

Bai Tingyun: The oil factory doesn’t give me any dividends! real!

When the villagers heard about the oil factory, the county magistrate and Mr. Qin, they believed it a little more.

Luo Xi's face was not red and her heart was not beating as she continued: "The county magistrate attaches great importance to the oil factory, so it was located in Zhengdao Village because of our friendship."

"The wages are high. As long as we work hard and don't cheat, I believe our village's life will get better soon."

"Everyone, please don't let me down the opportunity that I finally fought for."

Everyone was deeply moved when they heard that Luo Xi had won the opportunity! She made a loud promise to live up to her comeback.

Seeing the sincerity in the villagers' eyes, Luo Xi's lips slightly raised. She was indeed selfish, but she was actually creating income for the villagers.

No one wants their efforts to be a waste of time.

The mayor of Zhengdao Village is not a good person, but most of the villagers are good!

"I'll leave the rest to you." Luo Xi turned her head and said to Lu Yunjin, who was sitting in a wheelchair.

He knows the villagers better than himself, who can be used and who cannot be used.

After confirming that the news was correct, the villagers dispersed and rushed to tell each other.

"Go, go, go, that refinery that Xiao Luo is recruiting workers for, only one tael of silver a month!"

"Really? There's nothing fishy in it, right?"

"Whether it's true or not, I'll go and get a spot first."

The atmosphere in the village has never been higher, more lively than the Chinese New Year!

In less than an hour, a long queue formed in front of the oil factory. The villagers discussed enthusiastically. Qin Xuezheng brought someone to take charge of order and there was no trouble.

Manual oil extraction is a laborious job and naturally requires men in their prime.

There were many people signing up, so Lu Yunjin took out the contract he had written in advance.

The general content is: Do not disclose the oil refining process to the outside world, otherwise you will face large compensation, and in serious cases, legal liability will be pursued, and the whole family will be exiled.

The contract has an official seal and is equivalent to a living deed.

"Exiling the whole family? This is too serious."

"Let me go, what's the difference between signing this contract and selling yourself to an oil factory?"

After hearing the contents of the contract, the villagers were furious again, and suing the officials was already a punishment they talked about with disdain.

Not to mention the whole family being exiled, it was simply unthinkable.

Lu Yunjin, who was in the wheelchair, raised his eyes slightly, and said in a slow and gentle tone with a hint of coolness, "Everyone, punishment is only for those with ulterior motives——"

"As long as you work hard and don't have any evil intentions, this contract will not cause any harm to you."

Having said that, most people were still scared off by the serious consequences of the contract. Only a few villagers who were particularly poor and in need of money had firm eyes.

This is exactly the person Lu Yunjin wants.

Luo Xi didn't say anything. Every era has its own restraints.

Leaking the secret formula, let alone the ancient continuous sitting system, would still be a prison sentence in modern times.

Not to mention the cruel apocalypse, once the betrayer is discovered, he will be dead.

"..."

On the other side, Mei Fugui knocked on the door of Luo's house and couldn't hold back tears when he saw Mrs. Mei coming to open the door.

"Daughter! Help daddy! Your good son... is trying to force me to death!"
