wealthy lord

Chapter 18 Exposed Ambition
  Lin Yun smiled bitterly and said: "It is inevitable that the heat will not be controlled well in the first trial! I will improve it after the villagers prepare the materials!"

At this time, Oona asked: "Ms. sir, you... do you really plan to give out ten taels of silver to the villagers every day? The Lin family gave you one hundred taels of farewell gift before, and you have already spent a lot of it! If you can only go out but not enter, you will not insist on it at all. In just a few days!”

Ye Wanqing also nodded in agreement and said: "That's right! You are very brave. You can give each person one hundred cents a day with just one mouthful. Do you know how many laborers there are in the village? If everyone works hard enough, the sixty taels of silver in your hand will , it will probably be gone in a few days!”

Lin Yun looked at the two women and smiled: "Well... not bad! I finally know that I can take care of my husband's worries! Should I celebrate by beating gongs and drums!"

"Hmph! Thank you for being able to laugh!"

Ye Wanqing's face was flushed, and her beautiful phoenix eyes did not dare to look at him.

But Oona was not that shy, she glared and said, "Since I came to Niubei Village, haven't I shared enough of your worries? My husband said this, it really chilled my heart!"

"Dele! It's okay if I said something wrong!"

Lin Yun looked helpless.

"My lord, seriously, how do you plan to make money?"

Ye Wanqing returned to seriousness and began to look forward to it.

"As the saying goes, a cannon fires a thousand taels of gold! If you want to make quick money, you will naturally have to fight!" Lin Yun's eyes glowed.

Ye Wanqing's eyes lit up and she said: "Could it be that my husband is planning to dedicate this black gunpowder to the Lin family? This is indeed a good idea. Perhaps King Fengyang will forgive all our debts as soon as he is happy!"

Lin Yun sneered and said: "What are you thinking about? How could I, Lin Yun, do such a stupid thing like killing the goose that lays the goose to get the eggs? What I want is long-term benefits, not immediate benefits!"

"Besides, from the moment I left the Lin family, I had no intention of going back! And it is absolutely impossible for the Lin family to forgive their debts! Don't have this sweet dream!"

"Then what does my husband mean when he says we can make quick money by fighting?"

At this time, Oona said: "Let me tell you! When you are marching and fighting, you will grab wherever you hit! Isn't it easy to make money!"

She had been in the military and knew everything about it.

Lin Yun nodded and said: "Yes! But you are only half right! It is true that I, Lin Yun, am short of money, but I also have principles! I don't want ordinary people's money... and I won't do any deception!"

Oona frowned and said, "Then how do we get the money?"

"Hmph! There must be many robber nests like Heifeng Village within the five hundred-mile radius of Niubei Mountain. These bastards must have looted a lot of people's wealth and wealth over the years! I want them to eat whatever they want. Spit it out!"

Ye Wanqing praised: "My husband is indeed very clear-minded. It is indeed a business without money to eat gangsters! But have you thought about the future? These robber dens cannot always support us! Sooner or later they will be exhausted!"

Here, the wound has been bandaged. Lin Yun stood up and moved around, and said in a deep voice: "When I'm full! I will have my own power! What do you think will happen to me in the future?"

This time he completely exposed his ambition.

Both Ye Wanqing and Oona were shocked.

However, neither of the two women was easy on the gas, especially Ye Wanqing. She was a member of the National Academy of Sciences and a traitor to the party. She had long had the intention to rebel, otherwise she would not have ended up like this.

As for Oona, she was originally a barbarian, and she had no feelings for the Daduan Dynasty.

"I never expected that a sin-stricken person like me could meet such a genius as my husband! I'm really starting to fall in love with you!"

Ye Wanqing's eyes were shining and she smiled charmingly.

Lin Yundun felt that he couldn't bear it and said quickly: "I'm hungry! Wuyue, what should we eat at night?"

"Eat fish! The folks have brought a lot of them!"

Lin Wuyue didn't say a word from beginning to end. She just worked hard and listened to the conversation between the three of them.

Like a virtuous wife.

Lin Yun raised his eyebrows and said, "Who asked you to collect the villagers' rations?"

"If we don't collect these fish, what will we eat? Are we going to be hungry all day?"

Lin Wuyue's words made Lin Yun dumbfounded.

He has been thinking about Niubei Mountain all day long, forgetting that there is nothing to eat in this house. And I haven't eaten a bite of food since yesterday, so no wonder I'm suddenly hungry.

"Ahem, it's my fault! Oona, go to the city and buy some food now!"

"I know! I'm now an errand-runner!"

Oona turned and left.

Ever since the old village chief conveyed Lin Yun's words, the villagers went completely crazy.

Earning a hundred cents a day, not to mention boiling excrement, would be enough to eat a bucket of excrement a day.

For a time, the entire Niubei Village was in full swing, and every household was filled with a foul smell.

There were also some people, under the command of the old village chief and the two previous villagers, who went to burn charcoal and go up the mountain to collect sulfur sand.

Although everyone is busy, there is no chaos and they are all doing their work in an orderly manner.

Now, the entire Niubei Village is talking about the previous explosion.

Under the vivid descriptions of the two villagers, Lin Yun was almost a semi-fairy.

At first, many people did not believe that the black powder produced by Lin Yun could be so terrifyingly powerful.

But later, when everyone saw the hole in the wall, they were finally convinced.

Especially when the old village chief told everyone that Lin Yun did this to arm Niubei Village so that in the future it would no longer be bullied by outsiders and robbers, the villagers were very moved.

Two days passed in a flash.

As agreed, Lin Yun gave the old village chief his daily wages, and he distributed them to the villagers.

Everyone finally saw money, and there was so much money, so everyone was very motivated.

Recalling that Lin Yun said before that he wanted to improve the people's livelihood in Niubei Village, everyone was grateful.

……

In the woodshed, there were three large wooden barrels in front of Lin Yun.

They are sulfur, charcoal and saltpeter powder respectively.

There is a larger wooden barrel next to it.

Lin Yun poured all three materials into a large wooden barrel, stirred them evenly, then laboriously picked up a large stone pier and crushed it carefully.

He wants the mixture to set completely.

Been busy for an hour.

During this period, both Ye Wanqing and Oona wanted to help.

But Lin Yun didn't want them to see how he prepared it. Although the materials were not kept confidential, the manufacturing process could not be leaked.

This is not a matter of trust or distrust.

Moreover, this so-called craft is only for people in this world.

Because on Earth, everyone understands the principle, and what Lin Yun is doing now is only the most superficial processing.

After that, Lin Yun reduced the amount of black powder by more than half, and even the bamboo tube launcher used before became smaller.

Lin Yun made it exactly according to the shape of the pistol on Earth.

But his manual skills were really poor, coupled with the lack of suitable materials and tools, the result was that the launching device only had the outline of a pistol.

However, Lin Yun didn't care whether it looked good or not, as long as it was practical.
