Eight workers stood at the lower head and looked at Mr. Li in front of him with some confusion, and could not recover from the news that the other party mentioned that the bookstore would not need to be closed.

Why did this strange young man who had just arrived in the store suddenly gather everyone and say such words to comfort everyone? Is his words true? Does he have the right to arrange major events in the bookstore like this? Various different problems kept emerging in everyone's mind, but it was difficult to open this for a while.

Li Ling's eyes slowly swept over them, and then he smiled and said, "I can naturally think of any doubts in your heart, but what I want to say is that this matter is absolutely true. Old Zhou has agreed on your boss. Oh, by the way, from this moment on, I am one of your bosses, my name is Li Ling."

At this time, Lao Zhou confirmed and nodded, "What Mr. Li said is indeed true. He discussed this matter with me just now, and felt that our bookstore could start again. Everyone is also the old people in our bookstore, so we hope you can continue to stay..."

Shi Xiu and several other craftsmen looked at each other, and then he tentatively said: "Li... Mr. Li, Boss Zhou, we have been working in the bookstore for more than ten years and don't want to leave just like this. But... you have also seen the situation in the store. Our wages are enough for three months and we also need to support our family, so..."

Li Ling smiled: "You can rest assured that I will solve the wages. Although our bookstore may not be able to reopen it in the past two months, your wages will not be less than half a document. Even if you owe it before, I will pay 30% first. After the official reopening, I will deliver the rest together. I will never let everyone go hungry."

The few people immediately felt happy. What Lao Zhou told them before was that the wages for the past two months could be paid. Now Mr. Li was suddenly willing to pay the full amount and also delivered the wages owed by his boss before. This kind of good thing is too rare. With this, it would be worth it to wait for another two months.

Shi Xiu hesitated for a while before he asked carefully: "Young Master, are you saying true?"

"I'll send money to you tomorrow, and you'll know the truth or false at that time." Li Ling said happily, "But I also have one condition, that is, even if our bookstore has no business, you will not leave."

The meaning of this is to buy their stay-behind with money. There is no reason why these craftsmen refuse to agree to this, even if a few of them have found another way out - after all, Qin Family Bookstore has been so miserable these days, and it is not too difficult for them to really find another job if they have the skills.

But as the saying goes, it is better to be familiar than to be a child. Since your bookstore has a way to bring back the dead and the new owner is generous enough, it is better not to leave. At the moment, Zhang Laoshi nodded first and said, "As long as you are really willing to continue paying wages, even if you don't make up for the previous ones for the time being, you are willing to stay."

"It's like!" The other people also expressed their opinions, and the sorrow between their eyebrows dispersed a lot as they spoke.

Li Ling laughed at this: "That's the best. I can only say that you have made an extremely correct decision because our bookstore will definitely have a bright future in the future!"

After saying some inspiring words and letting them go back and work hard, Li Ling looked at Lao Zhou: "Things are settled. Come to my place tomorrow to pay their wages. But I shouldn't have much time to take care of here in the past two days. After everything is settled, let's discuss the next step."

"Don't worry, young master, I know how to do things." Old Zhou said with a smile. In fact, he had some doubts in his heart. After all, the Cao Gang members had spent a lot of time to save the bookstore before, but they failed. Can he, a scholar, turn decay into magic?

Li Ling didn't say much, but just walked around the bookstore casually, and then took his sister away.

After finishing the business, he finally could take Yue'er to take a good look around Luoyang City. Of course, there was nothing fun in ordinary Minfang, so he simply went to Dongshi.

There, they finally saw the most prosperous side of Luoyang City, all kinds of goods, food, and fun, all kinds of livestock, poultry, horses, donkeys, oxen and mule, chickens and ducks, etc. They are naturally sold here. Even some rare treasures and rare beasts can be seen in some beautifully decorated shops.

Red corals more than half a person tall, gems larger than human fists, flowers and plants ornaments made of whole pieces of jade... These priceless good things are placed in shops with open doors, attracting the attention of many pedestrians, and making Yue'er dazzling and amazed.

As several Westerners with yellow hair, high noses and deep noses walked from the front, Yue'er was so scared that she hid behind Li Ling: "Brother, who are these... these people?"

"These are all Gentiles. They either came from business or preached for missionary purposes." Li Ling naturally had no feelings for these people, but he was a little interesting to see them wearing Han clothes.

Yes, hundreds of years later, the Chinese nation's dress has completely Westernized. However, in this era, the Western people who came from afar were trying hard to integrate into the Confucian civilization of the Han Dynasty. The main factor that determines who learns or who is more advanced and who is stronger...

In addition to many complicated products, there are actually many places for people to eat, drink and entertain. Along the streets, there are not only many large and small restaurants, but also several entertainment venues such as brothels and tiles.

The rafter is the theater in later generations. When people walk past his door, they can still hear the singings coming from the misty inside. After a while, there will be cheers. As for the washes, they are the places where they tell stories about ancient books and perform various tricks and acrobatics.

Li Ling and Yue'er were naturally not interested in opera, so they entered a garden called Qu Jia Washe and listened to two stories and watched another juggling. They kept applauding Yue'er, blushing, and then left with an unfulfilled feeling because it was getting late.

"Brother, Luoyang City is so interesting, but it's much more interesting than our Jiangcheng and Hengzhou." Yue'er couldn't help but exclaim while going out one step and three times.

"That's a matter of course. This is the capital, and all good things are coming here." Li Ling touched her hair docilely, "So, if we stay here in the future, you won't feel bored."

"Brother, after the imperial examination, are you planning to go home?" Yue'er blinked and asked carefully.

Li Ling glanced at her: "If I pass the Jinshi exam, I may be elected as an official by the court. I will not decide where to go at that time."

Yue'er said oh, but she couldn't ask for the next sentence. Li Ling smiled again when she saw this: "If you really fail the exam, you will see it. I have brought the bookstore here, and I will open the bookstore here. As I said that, this is a capital city, so the chances are naturally far greater than those in Hengzhou, let alone our small county town." As he said that, he smiled again, what is this? Is Luodian the same as the Beijing drift in later generations?

"Brother, you can definitely pass the Jinshi exam!" Yue'er waved her fist and then said, "But then, what should I do about the bookstore?"

Li Ling had an idea: "I will write to Wan Lang and the others, at least they have to send a few trusted shopkeepers here, otherwise it would be difficult for me to quickly open the bookstore if I am not familiar with the place here. And those skilled painters and carving masters, if they want to open up the situation in Luoyang, they have to use some extraordinary means."

Yue'er nodded and responded with a slight understanding, and suddenly her little face frowned: "Brother, I suddenly feel that I'm useless. I can't help you with anything."

"How could it be? Haven't you cooked me these days? The eggs I ate before the exam were still cooked by you."

"That's not counting. There are two cooks at home now. The food they cook is much better than what I cook, and I don't dare to compete with them at all..." Yue'er slammed her mouth, "Brother, I have thought about it before, I don't want to be a burden to my brother, I also want to help my brother..."

After hearing this, Li Ling was also stunned and rubbed her sister's hair with her hands. He seemed to have ignored Yue'er's thoughts. He has always regarded Yue'er as a little girl who only needs to take care of, thinking that as long as she lets her eat and dress well, and then let her play around.

But in fact, as Yue'er grows older and sees herself constantly working hard to grow, the little girl's mind will also change, and she also hopes to do something. After all, she is also a living person, not her own vassal.

After thinking for a while, Li Ling nodded and said, "Then have you ever thought about what you want to do?"

"Well... I like reading the novels you wrote by brother. I also want to write as good novels so that more people can see them." Yue'er expressed her thoughts, but her little face turned red.

Li Ling nodded: "It's good that you have this idea, but... you should know that writing books is not easy. You have to read a lot of books and recognize a lot of words. But now, you haven't studied hard for half a year, right?"

Yue'er was stunned, and then her face turned redder: "Yeah..."

"Then it's decided. From tomorrow on, you will study hard and write well. I will teach you a lesson myself, and then I will take the exam every five days. If you study for two or three years, you can try to write a book." Li Ling seized the opportunity and made a request.

Yue'er's little face collapsed first, then she clenched her fists again, nodded and replied: "Well! I will work hard, brother, please be optimistic!"

"Then I'll wait and see when my Yue'er will become the talented woman in our Dayue." Li Ling responded with a smile.
