Three days later, Li Luoyang knew that he thought things too simple. He comforted himself after the first day of the job fair, saying that the first day should be the most people, and there might be fewer people the next day, but he forgot to consider the location of Luoyang City.

As a city second only to the imperial city Chang'an in the Wu and Zhou dynasties, Luoyang city is the core. Its influence radiates the vast surrounding area. Countless people enter and leave the city every day. The announcement posted at the gate of the city will naturally be read. There is no media in this era, so people want to know world events, either by word of mouth or by announcement at the gate of the city.

Of course, no one dares to post the announcement. The soldiers at the gate of the city are not blind. If you dare to post the announcement, you must be caught and squatted in the prison. Li Luoyang asked Xiao Hui and tiger skin to post it. The horse division of the five city soldiers dare not take care of the six doors.

Therefore, in a sense, the announcement of the city gate is the official media, and people naturally believe it. Not everyone who sees these announcements needs this job, or everyone may not be qualified to participate in the recruitment, but they have relatives and friends, especially those who live in other places instead of in the city. When they return to their own place, they will always say it, and even encourage qualified people around them to come to Luoyang City to have a try.

The real problem is that the salary written in the announcement is too tempting. Even those who already have a job will be tempted by the high salary and put down their work to participate in the recruitment. Some people who are near can arrive on the first day, but some people come from afar. When the news reaches his ears, the job fair may be the first day. When they arrive in Luoyang, they may just catch the second and third day.

Therefore, Li Luoyang found that the job fairs on the second and third days were not simple at all, and the number of personnel participating in the recruitment even exceeded that on the first day.

However, there were 300 or 400 people who passed the interview on the first day. After the three-day job fair, there were a total of 1000 people who passed the interview. Seeing the almost endless list, Xiao Hui and Hu PI were silly - how can we check so many political judges?

"Forget it, let's change the order. Xiao Si'er, are the farms outside the city ready?"

"Master, everything is ready. It's certainly not a problem to place hundreds of people." Li Luoyang hasn't been out of the city these days, so he doesn't know the current situation of the farm.

Although the farm area of Lin Wanjin is not small, since it is a farm, most of the area is used to grow food, fruits and vegetables. The people living in the farm are slaves of the Lin family. They are responsible for taking care of the farm, and the things produced are also directly provided to the Lin family.

At the beginning, although Lin Wanjin nominally took over the Chuang Tzu, she never managed it. It was still managed by the steward of the Lin family and the steward of Chuang Tzu. During the handover some time ago, Li Luoyang drove all the people in Chuang Tzu away. After all, he was not recognized by the Lin family, and the Lin family's stewards and slaves could not drive him. After all, it was the Lin family's property and had nothing to do with Li Luoyang's dime.

Fortunately, Li Luoyang doesn't want these people himself. In the future, the farm will mainly be engaged in printing and wine making. Both of these two items have certain secrets. Li Luoyang doesn't want to leak out early. He'd better rest assured with his own people.

The renovation and construction of the farm has been going on. The brewing workshop and printing and paper workshop planned by Li Luoyang have been completed, and the equipment has been installed. However, the recruitment information has been released here before the final construction of the living place. Originally, Li Luoyang planned to divide the people in the farm into three categories. One is the people who need to be kept strictly confidential, One is the people who need ordinary secrecy, the other is the people who don't need secrecy. He even asked Cen Laoliu to buy him 300 slaves to do the hard work. Now it seems that these slaves don't have to do any work. Just sprinkle them into the Zhuang field to grow fruits and vegetables.

"Come on, let's go to the farm to prepare. First publish the list of people who have passed the first round of interview, and then let these 1000 people accept the second round of assessment by stages. Let me write an announcement."

Now that we've started, we can't say no, and considering that some people came from other places, Li Luoyang explained in the announcement that even those who didn't pass the second round of interview can receive one or two silver as travel expenses, which can reduce their dissatisfaction.

It's a pity for Xiao Si'er. After all, one or two silvers for a person and one thousand silvers for a thousand people. Some time ago, it also cost a lot to transform the farm. The money li Luoyang saved is about to reach the bottom.

"The latest issue of strange tales from a lonely studio sold very well. We still have funds to return," Zhou Lin said aside.

Now, the way to make money in Li Luoyang's hands, on the one hand, is to make Xianliang liquid and sell it in Wenjun Yazhu. So far, Li Luoyang still hasn't agreed to wholesale Xianliang liquid. After all, the quantity that the two distillers can make every day is limited. Therefore, Lin Xu came to find it several times and was sent away by Li Luoyang.

The other way to make money is Liaozhaizhiyi. Although there are not enough people on the farm, there is no problem for Zhou Lin, the original class, to print Liaozhaizhiyi only. The number of copies printed in these two months has increased steadily. In Anning County, 30000 copies can be sold from the beginning of the month to the end of the month, However, 50000 copies were printed for the first time in Luoyang, but they were sold out before the tenth day of the first day. But Zhou Lin was shocked and hurriedly printed 30000 more copies. As a result, it was still not enough to sell. Even Wu Chengdu, who is far away in Anning County, sent a letter to ask when the issue to be sent to Anning county will arrive.

As a result, 120000 copies of periodicals were printed in the first month to meet the needs of the market. In the second month, Zhou Lin printed 150000 copies at a time, which can meet the needs of the market, just the two markets of Luoyang and Anning. It is said that some booksellers have bought the original Liaozhaizhiyi back for block printing, Then it was sold in other places in the Wu and Zhou dynasties, and the sales volume was very good.

Zhou Lin complained about this. He always felt that those businessmen robbed the money in his pocket.

The sales volume of 150000 copies a month, even if one volume only earns two copper coins, 150000 copies is also an income of 300 Liang silver. However, in Zhou Lin's eyes, 300 Liang silver is a big sum of money, but it is only the sales price of six bottles of immortal grain liquid. Li Luoyang really doesn't like this "small money".
