Shen Nanzhi only hopes that his knowledge can match his temper, otherwise he will let this person experience what it means to be truly heartbroken.

“Butler Shen doesn’t have time to see you. You are here to teach the children, not to discuss knowledge with my butler.

Please do your job well. I don't care how you two interact in private. Just sign this employment agreement first."

Shen Nanzhi took out the agreement that she had prepared in advance. This person has such a bad temper and eats a lot. If he just plays for a few days and then leaves, wouldn’t she be at a big loss?

Zhang Zhi didn't think so much about it. He just had to sign the agreement. He had to do something if he got paid by others. He didn't come here to eat for free or to cheat for money. He had a clear conscience.

"Okay, I'll sign."

After reading the contents of the agreement, Zhang Zhi readily signed his name and put his fingerprints on it. However, when he looked up, he saw a strange smile on Shen Nanzhi's lips. He suddenly felt a chill on his back and intuitively felt that there was something wrong with this agreement.

Before he could take a closer look, Shen Nanzhi had already taken it away, admired it, and handed it to Wei Pozi's son Lu Fang, "Go and have the government stamp it and record it."

"Yes."

Once the government stamps it, the agreement will be legally binding and the government will stand on her side.

Shen Nanzhi also learned about these things from Shen Huai'en. Although in ancient times, officials were the most important thing and the power of the government was above all else, the laws were also very fair and had their own set of rules.

Just like the Labor Law, the government has a special set of laws to restrict and punish merchants who hire long-term workers, assistants, managers, and slaves in various offices.

As long as Zhang Zhi signed the agreement, he had to fulfill it. He was a poor scholar. If he dared to violate it, Shen Nanzhi would sue him. His life and future would be in Shen Nanzhi's hands.

Zhang Zhi quickly saw what the face-changing technique was from Shen Nanzhi's face, "I'll leave the children to you. You'll have one day off every seven days, and one hour of classes in the morning and one hour in the afternoon. Can you guarantee that?"

Zhang Zhi also wanted to go to the academy for further studies and concentrate on his studies, but he had no money. The tuition fee of the academy was dozens of taels of silver a year, and there were various expenses, which he could not afford, so he still had plenty of time.

"can."

"That's good. You can teach my Xiaoli and a few other girls as well."

"No, I don't teach female students. You can hire a female teacher alone. This is against the rules."

Shen Nanzhi smiled kindly: "Rules? Didn't the agreement we signed say that we can't teach female disciples?"

"No, no."

"Isn't that enough? They are all girls under the age of seven, not even at the age of separation between men and women. What's wrong with teaching them?"

Zhang Zhi had a bad temper and was very angry at Shen Nanzhi's slow treatment: "My principle is not to accept female disciples. At worst, I will just quit being a teacher."

"Ha, you have principles, backbone, and temper. I like people like you the most. You don't want to work anymore? Sure. According to the agreement, you have to pay me ten times the silver, ten times the annual salary, which is two hundred and forty taels. If you can pay me, I will let you go immediately."

Zhang Zhi was stunned, and finally realized what was wrong. She was waiting for him here, "You..."

Shen Nanzhi's expression changed again, becoming gentle and kind, like the older sister next door, "Sir, I don't have to ask you to compensate me. I was just being mean. Can you change your principles?

How can a person live a lifetime and stick to one principle? It's like a person's bottom line, it's meant to be broken!

Principles can be changed, but bottom lines must be broken. Once you understand these two points, you will be able to rise to the top and have everything go smoothly in the future."

Zhang Zhi opened his mouth, but had nothing to say.

"You, just wait for me."

He wanted to find Shen Huai'en and ask him what kind of woman this was. Don't think that you can force him to submit just because of the agreement. He would never give in.

Shen Nanzhi didn't care. If you have money to compensate, we can negotiate. If you don't have money to compensate, you will have to stay and teach for a year.

As for a year later, we’ll talk about it later.

Shen Nanzhi hummed a song, went out for a walk, and thought about how to sell the golden wine.

The profit from alcoholic beverages is huge, which is not comparable to a small sausage business. She would never look for Master Ning Wu, so she would have to consider carefully who to cooperate with.

As soon as I went out, I ran into Doctor Li. He was sweating all over and it took him a lot of effort to find this place.

"Doctor Li, why are you here? Come in and have a rest and a cup of tea first."

Doctor Li drank two bowls of herbal tea and looked at the lavish house with a complicated expression. After Miss Shen left the Jiang family, the villagers said that she was only fit to continue selling meat in the city, living in a dirty way, not having enough food to eat, and living in a thatched hut, which was even worse than before.

I didn't expect that she lived in a big house, had servants, and drove a carriage when going out, just like a wealthy family.

Doctor Li came back to his senses and said, "Something happened to Hunter Chen."

"What's up with him?"

"I went hunting in the mountains and fell off a cliff. It was a serious injury. I have many broken bones and I am still unconscious."

Shen Nanzhi was extremely worried: "Then hurry up and save people. Are you short of herbs? Short of money? I'll prepare it for you right away. We have to buy ginseng and ganoderma lucidum as well."

Doctor Li knew he had made the right decision and said, "These are all minor matters. The key is that Village Chief Jiang threatened me and wouldn't let me treat him. The villagers also refused to help. Widow Xu cried and begged everyone in the village, even offering money, but no one dared to help."

Shen Nanzhi said angrily, "This old thief Jiang is so evil. Is he going to kill everyone just because of Widow Xu's land?"

"You're right. Everyone in the village is suspicious of the money from the land sale. Widow Xu also made a fuss a few times. Village Chief Jiang said he would make it up to everyone, but then Hunter Chen got into trouble. I don't believe it if he said it wasn't him."

Shen Nanzhi stared at him with burning eyes and asked, "Doctor Li, the people in Shimo Village are all evil and cannot be saved.

Only you and Hunter Chen still have a conscience. Are you willing to leave Graphite Village?

I can guarantee your family's future life and safety. If you are willing to live in the village, you can live in Yushu Village. My Shen family will never bully the weak, dominate one side, or oppress the people.

If you don't want to live in the village, you can come to the city and I will help you open a shop and buy you a house. It can be considered as our cooperation. I will provide the money and you will provide the manpower. We can make money together and establish a foothold in this county together."

Doctor Li was moved. He knew that Miss Shen was loyal and righteous, and had both methods and connections, so she would definitely be able to find a way.

"I came to the county town and no longer live in the village. It's annoying to see it."

"Okay, go back and pack your things first, take your wife and children to my uncle Shen's house, and I will arrange everything else."

Doctor Li couldn't wait any longer. "Then I'll leave now. You better hurry up. Chen the Hunter's injury won't last long. It would be too cruel for him if he becomes disabled."

He and Widow Xu were just about to live a good life, but it was ruined by Village Chief Jiang. Doctor Li felt very sympathetic and heartbroken when he thought about it. With such a village chief, Shimo Village was definitely not habitable.
