Chapter 198 Writing a Manual
Lin Xi said it lightly, but it sounded incredible to others.
As a farmer, if you don't farm and raise silkworms, that's not doing your job properly.
"I don't care who wants to raise silkworms or not. We definitely don't raise them."
Someone immediately gave up the job and confronted Zhu Wenge.
Zhu Wenge also had a dark face and said directly, "If you don't want to raise it, then don't raise it. I never want to force anyone."
Cui Hongyue spoke up for Lin Xi in the crowd, "Boss, you clearly took out the most profitable business and led everyone to do it together, but they didn't appreciate it."
Lin Xi didn't care that much, "For everyone, farming is definitely the most important thing."
"Why don't you explain to everyone that raising silkworms is actually quite profitable." Cui Hongyue said.
"No need. No matter how much you say, it's better to show others what you do." Lin Xi said lightly. She didn't care what others thought. As long as they saw how much money other people made, they would change their minds in a moment.
There are people over there arguing with Zhu Wenge.
"Village head, since we are farmers, we should cultivate the land well. We will not participate in the matter of raising silkworms."
In the end, Zhu Wenge was a little annoyed. He had been thinking about it for a long time at home and discussed it carefully with Lin Xi, but the final result attracted so much opposition.
"Everyone, I called you here today not to force you to raise silkworms, but to tell you that the village has this plan. If you are willing, sign up with me. If you are not willing," Zhu Wenge paused, "just leave, don't be so angry with me."
When the villagers heard what Zhu Wenge said, they immediately shut up.
"Is there anyone who is unwilling? If you don't leave now, I will assume that you are willing. Write down your names." Zhu Wenge said with a fierce face.
As soon as these words were spoken, those who had no intention of raising silkworms left immediately.
Soon, only half of the family was left.
Lin Xi took a look and found that some of the people who left were unwilling to raise silkworms, but a larger proportion had already joined the pig farm.
I guess he didn't attend because he was too busy at home.
Zhu Wenge looked at the remaining villagers and said, "Okay, since everyone is staying, I assume that everyone is willing to participate in this matter. Let Lin Xi tell you the details."
Linxi's plan was very simple. The villagers would take the silkworm seedlings from Linxi and raise them. After the silkworms formed cocoons, Linxi would purchase them. Of course, the purchase price was much higher than that outside.
As for the silkworm breeding technology, it was entirely provided by Linxi.
Everyone thinks that this matter does not sound complicated and is a sure win, especially for families with many girls, parents immediately become interested.
"Does anyone have any other questions?" Lin Xi asked after he finished speaking.
After a moment of silence, someone in the crowd suddenly asked, "Is this business profitable?"
Lin Xi smiled and said, "I can tell you that among the several businesses I have now, this is one of the most profitable."
As for how much money they can make, Lin Xi thinks it’s better to let them experience it for themselves.
After identifying the silkworm farmers in the village, Lin Xi decided to write an instruction manual for them, but since none of them had ever been to school, they could only express themselves through pictures.
No one else can do this except Xiao Yongyan.
When he returned home, Xiao Yongyan had already prepared dinner and was reading a book in the house, waiting for Lin Xi to come back.
"Husband," Lin Xi suddenly said affectionately, "I want to ask you for a favor."
When Xiao Yongyan heard Lin Xi's suddenly sweet voice, he knew that this guy probably had something to ask of him.
"What's the matter?" Xiao Yongyan asked in a seemingly cold tone.
Lin Xi knew that Xiao Yongyan had been very busy recently, but she really had no other choice. "There are many people in the village who are ready to follow me in raising silkworms. I am going to compile a manual for them to refer to, but I need someone to draw the diagram."
Xiao Yongyan looked at Lin Xi with a smile, "Madam, you have been carefully brought up in the Lin family since you were a child. You are proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. But I don't know why you want to paint for your husband illegally?"
Lin Xi's heart skipped a beat. Why did Xiao Yongyan bring up this matter again? "This... I had forgotten about it."
"Forgot?" Xiao Yongyan found it funny. He had never heard of anyone forgetting these skills.
Lin Xi was helpless, "You just thought I forgot it, even my identity as Lin Xi."
Xiao Yongyan still maintained the posture of reading, but his eyes did not fall on the book. It was clear that Lin Xi had something else in his words.
"Xi'er, no matter who you are," Xiao Yongyan said, "you are my wife."
Lin Xi nodded, "Of course."
But she felt strange, why did Xiao Yongyan suddenly bring up this matter today, "But what happened?"
"No." Xiao Yongyan shook his head, "Don't think too much."
That being said, Lin Xi couldn't help but think about it.
"Xiao Yongyan, what have you been busy with these days? You always know what I do, but I have no idea what you are doing." Lin Xi had wanted to ask this question for a long time, but had never found a suitable opportunity.
Xiao Yongyan smiled and said, "Everything I am doing is for our future."
Lin Xi was depressed and was playing charades again.
"If you're not happy, just say so."
"Don't be angry, ma'am. It's just a picture in the manual. I'll draw it for you right away."
Drawing these things was easy for Xiao Yongyan, and he quickly completed the album.
But Lin Xi suddenly realized a problem. This thing could not be printed and it was very difficult to copy it.
Xiao Yongyan's suggestion was to find some poor scholars in the town, give them some money and ask them to help repaint the painting.
Lin Xi was thinking about something else, "Why don't we open a printing factory ourselves?"
"Printing factory?" Xiao Yongyan felt that this statement was a bit strange.
"Yes, printing factory, the articles you wrote and the picture albums I want can all be easily printed and distributed." The more Lin Xi thought about it, the more feasible it seemed.
The technology of movable type printing already existed in this era, all we had to do was find the right master.
"Xi'er," Xiao Yongyan smiled, "I really didn't expect your territory to be so rich."
Lin Xi curled her lips. She didn't have to expand so much. Isn't this just a by-product?
With the help of Xiao Yongyan, the first manual was born, but the preparation of the printing factory took time. Lin Xi temporarily adopted Xiao Yongyan's suggestion and went to the county town to find some poor scholars to help copy it.
Lin Xi gave a book to all the families involved in silkworm farming. When everyone saw the book for the first time, their scalps tingled and they said that they couldn't understand the characters. But Lin Xi gave it to them, and they still couldn't understand it.
Lin Xi smiled and said, "Open it and take a look."
When these people opened the book, they were relieved immediately because it was full of pictures without a single Chinese character.
"Really? I was overwhelmed when I saw this book. Fortunately, it's full of pictures."
Lin Xi said, "Let me briefly explain to you the meaning of these pictures..."
