Chapter 297 How about buying them all?

After Lin Ling finished speaking, she motioned for the two of them to leave.

The aunt couldn't help but grab Ms. Li and ask, "Who is this Dr. Lin? Why did he buy so much land?"

The land here is not very good, and many rich people do not like it, so it is their turn to plant it themselves, otherwise it will be relegated to Zhuangzi.

Being able to sell it is not a bad thing for them.

Li didn't know much about him, so he said truthfully: "I heard he is a famous doctor in the north. He has superb medical skills and is also very rich."

"Oh, your family really found a treasure. Go back and find out. How much does it cost per acre?"

Many villagers were moved.

Li was confused: "Aren't we all getting 500 coins per acre of land?"

As soon as she finished speaking, several aunts glanced at her.

"Don't turn your elbows out. Just give her one tael of silver per acre. If she doesn't want to, we won't sell it."

"This is not bullying..."

"What? You want us to tell Zhuang Mao that his wife's surname is Lin?"

Several aunts are famous in the village as long-tongued women, who can also call black people white.

Li couldn't resist and could always hide. She ran back home quickly without agreeing to them and informed them of the incident.

"Dr. Lin, forget it? They will definitely threaten you because of their large numbers."

"It's okay, not everyone is so courageous." Lin Ling had his own way.

Didn't keep them waiting too long.

Several aunts came with the village chief.

Village Chief Zhuang is almost seventy, his back is still straight, he is holding a bamboo cane, he is wearing a blue robe, and he has a cold temperament.

Perhaps it was the result of being a village chief for most of his life, which gave him a feeling of being aloof and arrogant.

He was also looking at Lin Ling when he came in. He was a doctor with a gentle temperament. Although his eyebrows were wrinkled, he was also very beautiful.

After sitting down, he coughed lightly: "You want to buy land?"

"Yes." Lin Ling nodded.

The voice was a little hoarse, but it sounded nice. Village Chief Zhuang raised the corners of his mouth slightly: "Okay, then you can talk, and I will bear witness to you."

The aunt said: "There are three acres of land next to my house. One acre is worth one tael of silver. I also brought the land deed. I will give you the money first and then put down the deposit."

Village Chief Zhuang frowned slightly: "Why are you so open-mouthed?"

"Old village chief, you are also considerate of us. Taxes are so high, and we have to eat." The aunt blocked the village chief's mouth with one sentence.

Lin Ling took a sip of bitter tea to moisten his mouth, and chuckled: "Five hundred cents per acre, and fifty cents will be reduced every half hour. If no one is willing to sell it, I will go to a village ten miles away to buy it. It is said that they There aren’t many people left in that village, so they would definitely be more willing to sell.”

"What? Why did you say it was the same thing?" the aunt asked angrily.

Lin Ling glanced at her with indifferent eyes: "It's because you don't want to sell, okay, you should think about it carefully."

A stone stirred up a thousand waves.

The war had just ended and the family was having a hard time. The food grown in this land was only enough to pay taxes. It was better not to plant it and go to work in the city!
After waiting for half a quarter of an hour, Lin Ling said again: "I need help when the time comes, and I can do the work for you. As long as you do as I say, I will make sure you make money."

"Really?"

"Are you really going to help us?"

Lin Ling responded: "Yes, I can teach you how to grow medicinal herbs, and I will accept all the medicinal materials you grow."

"Then I'll sell it."

"I sell it too."

The cake Lin Ling drew was too big. So much so that everyone wanted to sell land, but Lin Ling didn't want to buy so much.

Seeing this, the old village chief Zhuang had an idea: "How about if you buy all the land in our village, this village will be your village from now on, and everyone will listen to you?"

In this way, Dr. Lin only pays the taxes, and they are just slaves.

Li was explaining to Lin Ling from the side.

"Then you want to sign a written contract?" In fact, it is a labor contract.

The others had no objections, and Village Chief Zhuang also nodded.

"How many lands and how many people are there in total?"

Lin Ling still had to settle this account carefully.

"One thousand acres, leaving aside the old, weak, sick and disabled, there should be more than eighty people."

Others who should enter the city have entered the city, leaving the so-called more than eighty people, most of whom are about forty years old.

Lin Ling had to think about it.

It's October now, it's harvest time, and there are only a few things that can be planted, but lotus roots can be grown, and there are many medicinal materials that can be grown, plus crabs spawn mostly from December to March... It's true, It’s just that the cycle is a bit long.

"I'll give you an answer tomorrow."

"Okay, you should think about it carefully." Village Chief Zhuang called for everyone to leave.

As soon as they left, Zhuang Mao, who had been listening in, couldn't help but interject: "Doctor Lin, you can't plant anything in winter. If there's a heavy snowfall, everything will be gone!"

"I have my measure."

Lin Ling is only concerned about her eldest son now. If the eldest son is rescued, his time in the capital will definitely be shortened.

After dinner.

She waited until it was almost twelve o'clock before she saw Gu Yunting coming in through the window.

He was covered in dust, and by the dim candlelight, quite a bit of stubble had sprouted on his chin and neck.

Noticing her gaze, Gu Yunting chuckled: "There is no more natural disguise than this."

"Indeed."

The temperament of a man with or without a beard is completely different. Lin Ling stretched out his hand to touch it, as if rubbing it on a brush.

"How long will we probably stay in the capital? If it takes too long, I want to plant something here."

Gu Yunting's tone was heavy and his eyes were slightly red: "I saw my son."

He entered the prison disguised as a jailer and saw Gu Panrui in the smelly cell.

His beard has grown as long as a finger, his hair is messy, he has long lost the high spirits he had when he set out, and there are even many signs of passive torture on his body.

If it weren't for the fact that he was too clean and had Zhao Huai'ao as a guarantee, he wouldn't have the chance to be detained for verification now.

"The third son's succession has just begun. Although the emperor is ill, he will not suffer for a short time... We will stay here for at least half a year." Gu Yunting said: "Don't worry too much, my son will not suffer in the cell for the time being. , Everything is going well with the second brother, Nian Youwei has recruited him, he belongs to the sixth prince Wu Yanzhi, and I will find a way to get close to Wu Yanzhi next. "

"Okay, be careful." Lin Ling listened to the simple description and seemed relaxed, but the action was definitely not that simple. She touched her chin distressedly.

"When the time is right, I will put Meng Shilang in front of you. If Nian is successful, I will take him away."

"Okay, I will look for opportunities."

"Well, I'm afraid I won't be able to come to you every night in the future, so be careful."

"Don't worry, with Chen Chi here, I won't be in any danger. You can take these." Lin Ling took out a porcelain bottle from his arms: "This is typhoid medicine."

She took out nine bottles in succession.

"Golden sore medicine, heat-clearing and detoxifying pills, nine-turn rejuvenation pill, and three more bottles that will kill you. One bottle for each of you three can save lives at critical moments."

Gu Yunting couldn't help but pull open her robe, but it was empty inside.
