You are my golden finger

Chapter 98: I’m Good at Doing Business (1)

A bright moon hung quietly in the sky, and the night became soft and dreamy. The two sat back to back on the roof of Murong Xu's farm outside the city, one playing the flute while the other closed his eyes to listen. The silver halo gently enveloped the two, as if they were in a fairyland.

After the song is over, the lingering sound fades away, leaving only a dreamlike tranquility and beauty.

"I should go now, or it will be dawn by the time I get back." Soon, Lin Xijin broke the silence.

"Can you come back in a few days?"

"Okay, I'll come over after I arrange those things."

The two jumped down from the roof, Murong Xu gently kissed her on the forehead, and then let her go. Lin Xijin walked to an open area, called out the helicopter, climbed up the gangway, and waved to Murong Xu when she reached the hatch. Soon, she flew straight into the sky and disappeared into the night sky, and could no longer be found.

Murong Xu stood quietly, motionless. He wished he could fly, so that he could go find the little girl anytime. But unfortunately, God did not give him such a golden finger.

I have to say that my time travel is a bit tragic compared to Lin Xijin. Maybe my golden finger is because I have Lin Xijin! This is also lucky enough.

"Master, it's time to go back and attend the morning court." After a long time, An Yi spoke.

"Bring the horse."

Soon, several horses galloped from the manor to Kyoto.

When Lin Xijin returned to Shiziwo, the first thing she did was to post a recruitment notice in the village and the county government, recruiting female workers aged twelve to fifteen who could read and count. Unfortunately, there were only a few.

But this was also within Lin Xijin's expectations. All the girls in Shiziwo Village went to work in pharmacies to produce cosmetic products, and parents in other villages rarely let their girls go to school.

Lin Xijin had no choice but to ask Manager Ma from the dental clinic to help her find a group of people. Manager Ma quickly found more than 20 people from the dental clinics in the provincial capital and several nearby counties. Lin Xijin finally selected 18 people who looked smart and simple, and brought them back to Shiziwo to have the nanny teach them the rules, the cook Zou teach them how to make pastries, and she herself taught them how to keep accounts and make various cold drinks. She planned to open three cold drink shops in the county, the provincial capital and Kyoto.

Murong Xu had prepared the shop and decorated it in Kyoto, so Lin Xijin didn't need to worry about it. Manager Ma from the county and the prefecture had already helped to keep an eye out for it. Lin Xijin followed Manager Ma to visit both places and quickly decided.

They drew up the decoration design drawings, and gave the county shop to Ye Jinlin, and the one in the prefecture to Xingwu, and then let the two of them get busy.

Lin Xijin chose Qing'an Town as the site for the cement factory because when the entrance was blasted during road construction last time, she discovered that the valley was a very suitable place to build a cement factory. It was spacious enough, had abundant water resources, and the mountains were a good barrier to prevent dust.

Lin Xijin found Mayor Wu and told him about the idea of ​​building a cement factory. Mayor Wu was eager for such a good thing, and the two hit it off and decided on the location of the cement factory.

A day was spent surveying the terrain of the valley and determining the specific locations of employee dormitories, raw material storage sheds, grinding workshops, calcination workshops, synthesis workshops and finished product warehouses. We also demarcated wetland protection areas and green belts.

After finishing these tasks, the personnel sent by Murong Xu arrived. Four seal carving masters came, each with an apprentice. There were 36 managers and craftsmen sent to support the construction of the cement plant and ice making. These people should all be the elites recruited by Murong Xu.

The seal engraving master and his assistant were brought to Muyuan Village to settle down. In order to let Xihui, Xinfeng, Xingcheng, and Xiaowen learn more, they were also allowed to go with them. Except for Xihui who was more than nine years old, the other three were more than ten years old and had grown into handsome young men.

"A man of culture is naturally elegant." After several years of study, they are no longer the naughty mud monkeys in the countryside, but have become more bookish and gentle.

Lin Xijin sent them to the construction site. The red bricks were being burned very quickly, and a yard had been built for the model house on the construction site, where some craftsmen could move in, while the rest were still being built in full swing.

The kilns for firing pottery and porcelain have also been built and put into use.

After arranging accommodations for several masters, Xihui and his assistants were temporarily arranged to live in tents. Then Lin Xijin called a meeting with Li Yuxuan, the pottery maker, the pottery firing master, the seal engraving master, Xihui and others to tell them his idea.

"I have brought you all here today because I want to pool your wisdom to do something big. Once this is accomplished, your names will go down in history."

Everyone looked at each other, wondering what Lin Xijin wanted them to do. How could he have such a great achievement?

"Xihui, Xinfeng, bring the materials to everyone."

Xihui and Xinfeng hurriedly distributed the materials prepared by Lin Xijin to everyone. The title of the materials read: "Preliminary conception of movable type printing."

The content lists the entire process from making type molds to printing, and the materials, procedures and specific practices are clearly written. Now all they have to do is to verify these ideas.

"Princess Jiahui, is this something you came up with? You really deserve the title 'Jiahui' bestowed upon you by the Emperor!" The seal engraving master team leader Cheng Ting's hands were shaking with excitement.

"These are just my initial thoughts. I don't know if the specific operations are appropriate. I'll have to trouble everyone in the future."

Everyone looked at the materials and could find something they were good at. At this moment, everyone was excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood.

"Sister, if the printing technology is successfully developed, can we print out the books we read instead of copying them?"

"Well, yes, it will be fast!"

What Xihui and his friends were interested in was the speed of printing. As scholars, especially those who had copied books when the clan school was first established, they knew the torment of copying every word, so the enthusiasm of these little guys was immediately aroused.

Lin Xijin has always been a giant in thought, and naturally left the actions to those who are experts. He took a few exquisite porcelain design drawings and gave them to Li Yuxuan, leaving behind a group of people and leaving in style.

As soon as the carriage appeared at the entrance of the village, it was stopped by a group of children and the elderly. The driver was startled and hurriedly told Lin Xijin.

Lin Xijin got out of the car and distributed the candies and cakes that had just been taken out of the space to everyone, then asked softly, "Excuse me, does anyone have anything to do for you?"

"My lord, we have nothing to do. We just want to give you something. These are my own eggs. Let you try them." An old lady handed over a basket of eggs.

"My Lord, these are the greens I grew at home. I picked the freshest ones. You can take them back and stir-fry them to add to your dishes."

"My Lord, this is the spicy cabbage I pickled myself. You can take it home and make some soup."

……

"Everyone, please wait and listen to me. Tell me how your life is going now."

"Thanks to the princess, the laborers in our family all have jobs and are paid every day. We have money to buy rice and noodles and can have enough food to eat." An old man answered excitedly.

"That's great. In the future, we will not only be able to have enough food to eat, but also live a better life. Everyone please take today's gifts back first. When everyone has meat to eat every day and the children can go to school, I will accept your gifts, okay?" Lin Xijin made a promise to everyone.

"Okay! Thanks for your kind words, my lady." The old people thanked in unison.

Amid everyone's reluctant gazes, the carriage started again, slowly passed through the vacated aisle, and sped away.
