My supermarket is connected to all worlds, and I've won so much money handing it over to the st

"Lord Shen." Chen Yu bowed to Shen Qingyan, after all, a person of such excellent character deserves to be treated well and respected in any world.

He immediately saw through Shen Qingyan's thoughts and took the initiative to explain, "Gu Xixi went to another world to trade and isn't here. She'll probably be gone for three months."

Three months—the familiar number made Shen Qingyan pause for a moment, then he put on a faint smile.

Well, it's been three months since we last saw each other. Xixi probably won't be too sad now that she knows he's dead.

Her world had so many people, even so many worlds... He was just a passerby.

"I came today because the various technologies in Xilan County are still under preparation and cannot be put into use for a while, so I would like to ask for more books, writing brushes, ink, paper and inkstones for the students."

Shen Qingyan returned the greeting to Chen Yu.

"I'm sorry to trouble you, Young Master Chen. I've brought all the books that need to be printed, and I need 50,000 copies of each. I don't know when I can pick them up."

Chen Yu took out his phone and communicated with Old Chen to confirm the time. "Three days later, no need to thank me. You are Xixi's friend, so we are friends too."

Unlike that dead shark king, who was only kind to Gu Xixi, but incredibly arrogant to everyone else, making him unlikable.

"That's excellent, it's a blessing for Mu Zhi." Shen Qingyan chuckled.

After Chen Yu finished checking the books Shen Qingyan had brought and had the staff take them away, he couldn't help but ask, "Lord Shen, please wait a moment. I have a question for you. It concerns your private affairs, and I shouldn't be asking, but..."

“Since we are friends, why shouldn’t you ask? Brother Chen, please speak frankly, and I will certainly tell you everything I know.” Shen Qingyan looked at Chen Yu very seriously.

He seemed to be having some trouble, but since he was Xixi's friend and needed his help, he should help him.

After hesitating for a moment, Chen Yu still asked, "Does Lord Shen like Xixi? Not in a platonic way, but in a romantic way, is that right?"

Gu Xixi didn't ask, and Shen Qingyan didn't say anything... In his worldview, he would just live for a few days as long as he could. If Shen Qingyan admitted it, he would take the surveillance video to tell Gu Xixi.

He gave them a push so they wouldn't have any regrets.

Shen Qingyan was genuinely surprised that Chen Yu would ask this question, and asked in confusion, "Brother Chen, what makes you say that?" However, before Chen Yu could answer, he revealed an appreciative smile.

"Miss Xixi's beauty surpasses that of the past and present, and even the lotus flowers are ashamed of her fair face. I am naturally captivated by her. However, I am unworthy of Miss Xixi. We are destined to meet but not to be together. Miss Xixi will surely find a good man in the future."

So he made it that obvious? Even Chen Yu noticed. By the last sentence, Shen Qingyan felt a bitter taste in his mouth.

"If you like her, why don't you tell her?" Chen Yu asked again.

Good heavens, Shen Qingyan admitted it! He admitted it!!!

“Brother Chen, please don’t ask any more questions. You will understand in the future. Xixi is not here today, and I had my own selfish reasons for speaking my mind. Please do not tell Xixi, lest it only cause her trouble.” Shen Qingyan bowed again, “Please grant my request, Brother Chen.”

Chen Yu didn't understand, but he also knew that telling Gu Xixi about Shen Qingyan's attitude would be useless... He sighed and nodded, "Okay, I won't tell."

"Thank you, then I'll take my leave." Shen Qingyan quickly turned around, then led the oxcart away.

Chen Yu felt a tightness in his chest and sighed.

Gu Xixi is on a mission right now, so he won't say anything. He'll wait until she gets back... then we'll see.

The county government office of Xilan County during the Great Huang Dynasty.

Shen Qingyan returned to his study and went directly to the reception room in the front yard. The wealthy merchants of the county had gathered together and greeted Shen Qingyan upon his arrival.

They assumed Shen Qingyan had come to inquire about the progress, and immediately began to report.

"Lord Shen, we have recruited excellent craftsmen to study the machine that Miss Gu sent. With the detailed production process recorded in the blueprints, the craftsmen said that production can begin next month."

"Lord Shen, our paper production is on track and we have started recruiting."

"Lord Shen, we..."

……

"Thank you all for your trouble. I've come today to ask about the treatment you give to your workers and the standards you use to recruit them," Shen Qingyan said as he sat down. The others then followed suit.

The group exchanged glances, and one of them immediately replied, "What insightful opinion does Your Excellency have?"

"The financial difficulties faced by impoverished students stem from low family incomes. I wonder if it would be possible to prioritize hiring individuals of good character? Also, Ms. Gu has some thoughts regarding the working hours of these workers, which Mr. Shen will convey..."

Shen Qingyan remembered that Gu Xixi had mentioned to him in a casual conversation that many working people in their world had a miserable life, and their ideal job was to work from nine to six, have an hour-long lunch break, and receive paid leave during holidays.

They can't do that here, but they can try to get some paid leave for holidays, weekends off, and overtime pay. People all want to make money, and it's always good to get more money.

After hearing Shen Qingyan's request, everyone smiled with relief, "We will follow your arrangements, sir."

Xilan County will become the best county in the Great Huang Dynasty. Everything they do will become a model for others to emulate, and they will be proud of it.

Therefore, I will definitely listen to Shen Qingyan and do my best.

Moreover, their businesses would allow them to meet these conditions in the future. After saying goodbye to Shen Qingyan, the wealthy merchants immediately went back and changed the recruitment notice, reposting it at Caishikou.

The people were still saddened by the fact that the wealthy merchants had sent people to tear down the notices, thinking that they were no longer hiring, but now they immediately gathered around again.

"Is there anyone who can read? Come and read it to us, what does it say?"

"I can read, so I'll explain. Several employers are hiring, and they need a total of 200 people. Each person will receive three taels of silver per month, and will work four hours a day. If they work more, they will receive an extra 20 coins per hour. Also, they can have six days off each month without any deduction from their wages. If it falls during the Spring Festival, Lantern Festival, Double Ninth Festival, or Mid-Autumn Festival, they can go home to reunite with their families without any deduction from their monthly wages, and they might even receive gifts."

"What? This is so good? Is it a scam?"

"I know, I know. I saw several gentlemen being escorted out of the yamen by Lord Shen this morning. Lord Shen must have done something for our benefit. Lord Shen and the gentlemen are such good people. We just happened to run into them."

"Xilan County is truly a blessed place."

……

A post-apocalyptic world plagued by disease.

At seven o'clock in the morning, when Gu Xixi came downstairs, steaming hot buns and soy milk had already been delivered by modern technology, and everyone was distributing and eating them.

Shang Yu and the other four were also informed of their mission by Chu Feng. Shang Yu looked at Gu Xixi, swallowed her steamed bun in a few bites, and hurriedly asked, "Is our job really just handing out flyers?"
