Do the students have any objections?

It's impossible!

They have even started forming their own teams.

"Zhao Qi, Zhao Qi, why don't you and Nan Shu join us? You are the smartest, you can be the team leader and make arrangements for us."

Pei Zhaoqi thought for a moment and said, "Okay, Zi Yan wants to come too."

"Uh...then let's work in groups from now on, right? Hehe."

It’s not that Fang Ziyan is unlikable, but this guy is really too lazy. He didn’t even participate in the typesetting competition!

Fang Ziyan was disliked and became angry: "You...you...I won't hold you back! Zhao Qi, look at them! We are not in the same group with them!"

Pei Zhaoqi laughed and pulled him aside, "Then... me, you, and Nan Shu, let's form a group of three, okay?"

Fang Ziyan nodded quickly, "Okay, then let's form a group of three! My eldest brother can read, so we can ask him to bring people to help us, and we don't have to pay them! Humph, if they don't form a group with me, they will regret it!"

"......" Pei Zhaoqi smiled helplessly, "Brother Fang is busy, let's not trouble him."

As they were talking, a figure squeezed left and right and came next to them.

The other party was a little nervous, but his expression was very sincere: "I want to join you, can I?"

"Fan Chiqing?" Fang Ziyan was surprised. "You want to join the three of us? Aren't you afraid that I will be lazy? Then you will do the work of one and a half people, but you can only get one person's wages."

Fan Chiqing shook his head without even thinking, "You're not that kind of person."

He will always remember the scene when Fang Ziyan and three others rushed to the front for him on the day when Mo Zonkai came to the county school.

They even almost got beaten for it.

So even if Fang Ziyan was lazy and asked him to do more work, he didn't think it was a big deal. Isn't that what friends are like?

Fang Ziyan was so moved that his eyes welled up with tears: "Little brother, I will protect you from now on!"

Fan Chiqing was stunned.

I almost forgot that on the day Mo Zonkai came to the county school, Fang Ziyan acknowledged me as his younger brother.

Looking at the fat head that only reached his shoulders, Fan Chiqing fell into deep thought.

"Clap clap-"

Shen Zheng, who was standing at the top, clapped her hands and said, "Let's form a team later. Once we make a decision today, we can report it to Director Li. Next, I want to talk about the hidden benefits of working in the printing house, also known as employee benefits."

The four words "invisible benefits" immediately quieted the noisy students, and they all looked at Shen Zheng eagerly.

Since the adults and the headmaster have already discussed it, it would seem that they were immature if they continued to refuse.

Shen Zheng pointed in the direction of the county school and said, "Next to the Tong'an Bookstore, a new library will be built. All the books collected by the printing house will be in the library. As employees of the printing house, you can borrow books freely in the library and return them when they are due."

"And if you really like a book and want to buy it home, you can also enjoy corresponding preferential treatment - if you buy a printed copy published by a printing house, you only need to pay for the paper, ink and silver. However... you cannot buy it for others."

In addition to borrowing books freely, you can also buy books at a cost!

No, paper, ink, silver and money cannot be called "costs".

The actual cost included the movable type carved by the uncle, the numerous molds of the printing house, and the labor costs for printing, cutting, sewing books, etc.! All of these were already a considerable sum of money, but the printing house waived all of them!

The students looked at each other, with complex emotions in their eyes, not only joy, but also emotion and fear.

As long as the printing house is still there, the number of books printed by it will only increase, and there will be no duplicates!

Then...don't they have so many books that they can't finish reading them in their lifetime?

They couldn't help but recall the rare ancient books they had heard of before. Would those things that were originally out of reach be within their reach in the blink of an eye?

This "wage" is really too expensive...

This should be the dream of all scholars in the world, right?

"Sir, we..."

They looked up at Shen Zheng who was smiling.

I couldn't say the words of refusal, and the words of thanks seemed too soft. I couldn't express my feelings at this moment. I just felt that being born in Tongan County and meeting Mr. Shen was really... great.

Looking at the increasingly bright sunshine, Shen Zheng narrowed her eyes slightly.

Just as Master Jue'an said, today... seems to be a good day.

"Okay, we can't waste time." Shen Zheng pointed at the dazzling sun and said with a smile: "After we finish talking here, we still have to go to the cloth workshop to watch the ceremony. So I won't say more. The last one is not considered a 'special treatment'. Let Li Shanzhang tell you."

Under the expectant gazes of the students, Li Hongmao slowly spoke: "The printing house will definitely expand in the future, so the demand for employees will gradually increase. It is true that the county school will recruit new students every year, but as old students, you will also leave the county school one day."

When they heard the words "leave the county school", the students all fell silent.

Yes, their future roles may be the breadwinners of the family, parents of children, or "scholars" or "juren" with some achievements. If they are more daring in their imaginations, perhaps some of them can become "officials."

But they cannot stay in the county school and printing house forever.

"So." Li Hongmao looked at them and engraved everyone's face today in his mind. "No matter what you are planning for the future now, and no matter how high or low your achievements are at that time, as long as you want to come back to the printing house, there will always be a place for you in the printing house."

When I first heard this sentence, it didn’t seem like a “privilege” at all.

But when the students calmed down and thought about it, they found that the headmaster and the adults were providing them with a safety net for the future.

Their upper limit is unlimited. Just as I just thought, who knows, there might really be an "official" among them?

But where is their bottom line in the future?

They might not have been able to answer it before, but now, they know.

No matter how difficult the road ahead was, no matter how wronged they were outside, as long as they raised their hands and knocked on the door of the printing house and said, "Sir, Shanzhang, I want to come back."

The door of the printing house was always open to them.

Here, they will not go hungry, and the wind and rain will not be able to harm them at all.

"Kids." Shen Zheng called them, then turned around and looked at the brand new building behind him. Her voice seemed to have a special magic: "Go ahead and explore. If you get tired outside, just come back to the printing house and take a rest. You can rest for as long as you want."

This was the final "employee benefit" given to the students of the county school after discussion by Shen Zheng and others.
