    Jiang Baiye looked at the villagers of Clear Water Village as if he hadn't noticed their small movements, "I don't tell you shortcuts or take you in, I don't want to monopolize it all by myself, there are indeed many risks in it, if something happens to someone, and I have something to do with it."

    It is said that many people in Clear Water Village are disappointed. Although most of them can only farm and not hunt, they have a hope in front of them. Going into the mountains is not just about hunting, but now the mountains are his., they have no right to ask.

    Jiang Baiye saw their expressions in his eyes, and looked at the disdainful looks of "I knew it" from other villagers, and smiled, "But besides entering Mount Heng, I don't have other ways to make money for you!"

    All of a sudden, everyone on the field got excited and stared at him with burning eyes.

    This involves why he was able to buy this big Mount Heng in one go, and other villages are also looking at it, implicitly.

    "That's right, I went to the mountains to collect herbs, and now I plan to set up a workshop to process medicinal materials."

    Without giving everyone a chance to be shocked, Jiang Baiye continued: "At that time, building workshops and processing herbs will require a lot of labor. When the 20 acres of wasteland is reclaimed, I will also invite some people to help plant herbs, and be responsible for variousAccording to preliminary calculations, fifty or sixty people may be needed to manage the size of this matter."

    "To build workshops and grow medicinal herbs, I plan to pay 60 Wen per person. Those who process herbs can range from 70 Wen to 80 Wen per person. As for the responsible managers, those who are capable can start at 100 Wen, and there is no ceiling!"

    Under the circumstances that the average young and middle-aged craftsman only has 50 Wen a day, it seems that the work is not so hard, men and women can do it, and they are still at the door, but they have a higher income?

    The crowd suddenly became commotion!

    "If the operation of the workshop is profitable, more and more manpower will be needed, and the wages will also rise. I can't guarantee that everyone will get rich, but I think they will be able to be more than rich. Good job, if you get promoted and raise your wages, maybe you will still be paid.If you can save money to support the children in your family to study, you may not be able to produce a child and a scholar in the future!"

    Speaking of the last sentence, Jiang Baiye pointed out that if Lee's eyes at this time could kill people, he would probably have died thousands of times!

    And the others have been getting more and more excited by what he said.

    If there is money, who would not want to send their children to study and seek a better future? Even if they fail to pass the exam, they can do some more profitable and easier jobs after being literate. After the accumulation from generation to generation, the whole family will be lucky.changed!

    It's obviously not related to the affairs of other villages, but listening to this, they are all very excited and can't help but join in the heated discussion.

    When it was time to come, a basin of cold water was poured down.

    "As for candidates, I will definitely give priority to the people in my village. With a Village Officer with a conscience like Uncle Wang, I believe that most of the villagers have good character, unlike some villages who are rogue, arrogant and mean!"

    Village Officer Wang looked at the people in other villages, especially their Village Officer, with as ugly an expression as possible, and a smile could not help but come to the corner of his mouth, this kid, how can he be so talkative!

    "And character is the most important hurdle in my assessment, and it is also my bottom line." Jiang Baiye emphasized this point, "So if you are interested, you can go to my parents and sign up first."

    "Ah?" Jiang Dazhu and He Shi were still shocked and confused, and they were surrounded by a large group of "enthusiastic" people, many of whom were from other villages, who wanted to fish in troubled waters, and even said that they were ClearPeople in Water Village, their relatives in Clear Water Village say so.

    Those Village Officers couldn't hold back their face any longer, they shook their sleeves angrily and left, and said on the way: "I'm not afraid to choke to death by talking big!"

    "Is it really possible? It's not easy to run a workshop!"

    "Also concocting medicinal materials? He has this skill, and he has long since stopped nesting in this corner!"

    "I guess I dug two wild ginseng in that mountain and made a fortune. I thought I could make a fortune from medicinal materials. I don't know how bad it will be. Newborn calves do not fear tigers."

    Several Village Officers strongly denied it at the same time, and they gradually became more at ease, but they deluded themselves and ignored a possible truth underneath.

    That is Clear Water Village, which will become better and better under the influence of Jiang Baiye's workshop, and Village Officer Wang may not be able to regain the position of mayor with this achievement!

    "You kid..." Village Officer Wang was so emotional that he didn't know what to say, so he patted him on the shoulder heavily to express his thanks.

    "The reason why I help you so much is that I know you are right, what should I do, mainly because of Li Zhi, as long as you treat Li Zhi well, it doesn't matter what I do, don't worry about me!"

    Jiang Baiye said sternly: "I'm kind to Lu Lizhi, not because of you, you've helped us so much, but also because we've been affected, of course I can't just sit idly by, and besides, this is a good thing that kills two birds with one stone."

    Village Officer Wang smiled. He never smiled so freely.

    Next, Jiang Baiye discussed with him about buying land and building a workshop.

    It is best to choose an open, flat and sunny place. Many medicinal materials need to be dried and dried in the most basic way, so a large enough space is needed to spread the medicinal materials.

    Sieves, copper pestles and mortars, as well as medicine cutting knives, frying pans and other processing tools also need to be prepared, which is not a small expense.

    But the medicinal materials that have been carefully processed will definitely be sold at a different price, especially since he has more advanced and effective technology, the quality and appearance of the medicinal materials will also be very different.

    On the other side, Jiang Dazhu was a little unaccustomed to everyone's enthusiasm at the beginning, and was slightly panicked, but He Shi had already stood on the big rock to grasp the overall situation, pinching his waist and counting the heads quite neatly.

    "One brother from Guozi's family, Ergou his mother worked in the dyeing workshop, and if he has experience, he counts as one. Sister-in-law Hua is also here. You are quick in your hands and feet, and you must be able to work quickly..."

    Those who were named were all pleasantly surprised.

    "Where the rest of the people are going, my son has made it clear. Don't insult yourself!"

    Jiang Baiye saw that they were very busy here, so he smiled and took a step ahead, and hurried back to make lunch for Lu Lizhi.

    Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived at the gate of Lu's house, he saw a thin and slender figure standing there, with a cold and ascetic expression and a bit serious, reminding Jiang Baiye of the absurdity in the early morning... His eyes could not stop looking at his white and flawless face.Sliding across the hand, my heart suddenly felt dry!

    Before he could make any relevant associations, Lu Lizhi frowned and motioned for him to come in.

    "What's the matter?" Jiang Baiye was not so frank and at ease for the first time, and he was a little behind him, looking at his straight and smooth back.The feeling of living, of being in control...

    Lu Lizhi led the people to his own room. The desk was placed by the window, just a few steps away from the bed. He had already prepared pens, inks, papers and inkstones, intending to fulfill his promise to teach Jiang Baiye how to read.

    As soon as he turned around, he saw Jiang Baiye froze on the spot, with a complex expression of disbelief, and then pinched himself.

    Lu Lizhi, "?"

    Jiang Baiye coughed lightly, put his hands behind his back, and returned to normal. Seeing his preparation, his eyes lit up, "If you don't look for me, I will look for you too. If I don't learn words, I'm afraid I will be laughed at!"

    However, Lu Lizhi noticed that the back of the hand he pinched just now was slightly red and purple. How much strength did it use?Be so cruel to yourself.

    He taught Jiang Baiye how to wash the inkstone and grind the ink, and then showed him a row of various types of brushes on the pen holder. Without explaining a word, he made Jiang Baiye feel the difference of these brushes through writing.

    Jiang Baiye himself has some foundations, because of the influence of his grandfather, but practicing brushes is a kung fu job that requires peace of mind.

    Jiang Baiye was very skinny when he was a child and couldn't stay, but he liked to go to various mountains with the old man to collect herbs, looking for various herbs that were scarce or even disappeared in modern times, so he was quite familiar with the wild.

    Under the influence of Lu Lizhi's cold aura, he gradually calmed down. When Lu Lizhi was giving a series of teachings, he asked him if he understood correctly.

    Lu Lizhi nodded frequently, and there was a hint of admiration in his eyes, but he was even more puzzled that even his parents, who had lived with him for many years, didn't seem to understand him as well as Jiang Baiye, and had a tacit understanding with him.

    At this moment, when Lu Lizhi indicated with his eyes what word he wanted to learn, he understood it easily.

    "Lu Lizhi."

    "?"

    "Teach me to write your name first, um, recognize from the most basic things around me, such as your name, after you learn it, you will learn how to write these tables and stools." Jiang Baiye said solemnly.

    Lu Lizhi felt it was funny, and thought to himself, could it be that he is really illiterate?Obviously, know so many things...

    Thinking of this, he picked up a pen and wrote three words on the paper in one go.

    The corner of Jiang Baiye's mouth twitched, and when the ink was dry, he pointed to the bony character "Jiang", and asked leisurely, "Is this the character 'Lu'?"

    Lu Lizhi watched him give his surname to his surname, his eyes flickered, and he nodded solemnly.

    Jiang Baiye suppressed a smile, "So this is 'Li'? Are there so few strokes?"

    It was obviously still the same way of asking, but Lu Lizhi looked at his well-defined fingers lightly stroking the word, but felt a little unspeakable.

    Pursing his lips, he continued to nod.

    "Is the word 'Li' so easy to write..." Before he knew it, the murmur tinged with a smile seemed to be in his ears, Lu Lizhi felt a little guilty, and the slightly hanging slender neck was no longer tough and unyielding, but revealedA touch of softness.

    Jiang Baiye traced the last word "野", and asked deliberately: "This is 'zhi'? How can I see how your name is so similar to mine?"

    Lu Lizhi couldn't stand it anymore, and stared sideways at him, as if to say, you really can read!

    How dare Jiang Baiye admit it, "My family's family history book has been completed. I only saw these three words on the family tree in the past two days. Could it be that your name is also on my family tree?"

    Lu Lizhi was annoyed, what on earth was he talking about, he always felt that he was taking advantage of him!

    He picked up a pen angrily, and rewrote three characters next to "Jiang Baiye".

    —is a pig.

    Jiang Baiye couldn't laugh anymore.

    Son of a bitch.

    Jiang Baiye endured.

    Thank you.
