The first step in the book is to start selling tofu

Compared with September, October's earnings have reached a new high!

With the addition of four new employees to the book copying team, the number of novels sold increased greatly, and naturally, the income also increased.

When paying taxes, this astonishing figure once again shocked the tax officials, who exclaimed repeatedly: "This Madam Lin is really amazing!"

So the official once again hurriedly found Lord Feng to report the matter.

Upon hearing this, Lord Feng nodded calmly, indicating that he had already expected this.

On the other hand, the owner of the money shop was not surprised at Lin Zhi's ability to make money.

After he went to Lin’s shop to collect the money last time, he sent people to inquire about Lin Zhi’s property.

When the owner of the money shop learned that she was the famous Madam Lin in the city, he understood clearly, so when he came to collect the money this time, he deliberately brought enough people with him to deal with the large amount of money that might appear.

After seeing off the money shop owner, Lin Zhi could finally have a good rest for a day.

Then, she replanned her next work schedule in the new month.

The store's business model is already mature and Lin Zhi doesn't need to worry too much.

However, there are still some minor problems with the script from time to time.

Especially when there is no stock, those enthusiastic readers will even climb over the wall to get into the house, causing a series of troubles.

Fortunately, the employees were working overtime at night and discovered them in time, so no major incident occurred.

Later, the officers would patrol here at night, and fewer people came to steal books.

However, this incident also frightened the store employees, forcing Lin Zhi to consider expanding the store in advance.

"Mrs. Lin, I'm sorry." The middleman rejected Lin Zhi's request directly: "Due to the sudden increase in customer traffic on South Street, all the stores are temporarily unsold. Many people want to buy them at high prices, but no one is selling."

Lin Zhi: “….”

It was all her fault that the traffic on their street increased.

"No one will sell it even if I offer a high price?" Lin Zhi asked.

The middleman nodded and said, "Yes, recently many merchants from other places have come to inquire, but no one is willing to sell even at double the price."

At that time he was very confident and thought he could take over a store, but he ended up suffering a Waterloo.

Lin Zhi frowned and said in distress: "This is really troublesome!"

The middleman had dealt with Lin Zhi several times and knew that she was generous and straightforward, so after a little thought, he decided to tell her another solution.

The middleman said softly, "Ms. Lin, since you can't buy a store, why don't you consider buying land?"

Lin Zhi's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he was secretly happy: This is indeed a good idea! In this way, you can build a house that suits your taste and design the house type according to your personal preferences, which is much better than buying it directly.

However, it will take a longer waiting time.

So, Lin Zhi immediately asked: "Then, does the vacant land next to my shop already have an owner?" After all, if you want to buy land, you should naturally choose the location closest to your home for the most convenience.

The middleman quickly replied, "Not yet. If Madam Lin is interested in buying it, just pay this amount and I can get it for you." As he said that, he raised five fingers.

Lin Zhi estimated the area of ​​the land, secretly calculated his budget and needs, and then nodded without hesitation: "Thank you for your help."

The middle-aged man agreed excitedly, with joy shining in his eyes.

He couldn't wait to complete the deal and didn't want to delay for a moment, so he urged Lin Zhi to go home and get the silver so that they could go to the government office immediately to handle the relevant procedures.

Less than half an hour after going out, the man came back panting.

"Why did you come back so soon? Is everything done?" Lin Zhi asked in surprise.

She couldn't help but sigh that this person's efficiency was getting higher and higher.

However, when she saw the middle man shaking his head to deny it, a trace of doubt suddenly arose in her heart.

"No, Madam Lin," the middleman said.

Lin Zhi frowned slightly and asked in confusion: "Why is that?"

The middleman smiled awkwardly and explained softly, "It's like this. The government is willing to transfer the land to you for 400 taels of silver, but at the same time they put forward a condition..."

Lin Zhi asked suspiciously: "What conditions?"

She thought that if this condition was too harsh or made her feel embarrassed, she would rather spend an extra hundred taels of silver to solve the problem.

The middleman smiled sheepishly and continued, "This condition may be difficult for others to accept, but I think Madam Lin may not refuse it."

Lin Zhi became more and more curious and asked, "What are the conditions?"

Middleman: "The government wants to introduce an employee to you."

Lin Zhi: "Is it such a good thing?"

The middle man smiled somewhat guiltily: "Hehehe..."

Lin Zhi looked at him with a questioning look in his eyes and asked, "What's going on?"

The middle-aged man scratched his head, embarrassed to speak out, and answered hesitantly: "In fact, those employees are almost all disabled people, most of them are retired due to disability..."

Lin Zhi frowned and asked in confusion: "Doesn't the court have special arrangements for resettlement? Why is this happening?"

The middleman sighed and explained, "Originally, these people should have been resettled by the court, but for some reason, the resettlement fees from the court have not been paid."

Lin Zhi asked in surprise: "The court doesn't give money?"

Lin Zhi didn't ask why a middleman knew so much inside information.

For middlemen, the source of information is their source of income, so it is normal for them to know about it.

The middleman nodded helplessly: "Yes, we have no choice. Although Lord Feng has good intentions, his personal strength is limited after all. It is impossible for him to support so many disabled people for a long time. Moreover, his family property and the tax revenue of this county cannot afford such a burden. So we can only find another way out."

After a moment of silence, Lin Zhi asked, "What does the government plan to do now?"

The middleman smiled bitterly and replied, "Lord Feng hopes to recommend some disabled people to work for you, and he also hopes that other businesses can follow suit and give them some opportunities to make a living. This will not only reduce Lord Feng's pressure, but also help these disabled people become self-reliant."

"It's not impossible to agree to this." Lin Zhi thought for a moment and said.

"However, the recruits must pass my assessment," Lin Zhi added.

The middleman nodded quickly, expressing his agreement: "Of course, you are the boss, and the departure of people must be approved by you, right?"

However, most people would hardly refuse the government's attempt to stuff people in.

"Then go ahead. Only if the new store is built early will I have more positions for people to come in." Lin Zhi waved at the middleman, indicating that he could leave.

After getting approval, the middleman immediately ran back to the yamen.
