wealthy lord

Chapter 321 Frankness

Ever since she married Lin Yun, she naturally had to think about her man's interests at all times, and she also kept in mind her second uncle's reminder not to overly reveal her attitude towards the Sun family.

Therefore, Sun Xuemeng has performed very well in the past few months.

And Lin Yun offered to help the Sun family continue to expand its power this time, so she was naturally very happy.

Lin Yun said in a deep voice: "Okay, let me think about this matter again!"

"Ms. sir, why are you doing this all of a sudden? Is there any hidden secret here?"

Sun Xuemeng is not stupid either. Based on her understanding of Lin Yun, she must have deep meaning in doing so.

Lin Yun always thinks twice before he does anything. He took the initiative to launch an operation around Taoyuan Town, most likely because he was planning something.

Lin Yun smiled slightly and explained how he used Lin Jinbiao to leak the secret of Nianzi Mountain.

Sun Xuemeng was dumbfounded when he heard this, and said: "My lord, you really do everything you can! You can even come up with such cunning ideas!"

Lin Yun rolled his eyes and said, "You want to say that I'm evil, right?"

"Hehe! This is not what others say, it is what you admit yourself!"

"There is nothing I can do! Niubei Village is the most important thing to me. In order to protect the peace here, I can only let Taoyuan Town make sacrifices! However, I will definitely not let the Lin family succeed easily, even... with the help of Give the Lin family a bloodbath this time!"

Sun Xuemeng frowned and said curiously: "My lord, with all due respect, if you look at the current scale of Niubei Village, it is indeed a chicken that can lay golden eggs, but it is nothing more than that. Compared with the copper mine in Nianzi Mountain, I’m afraid it’s still a bit worse!”

She is not stupid, and she still sees clearly what is important and what is important. Although food rations are very important, when it comes to making money quickly, it is naturally mining mineral veins that makes money the fastest.

Once Lin Yun finds a market, he will definitely make a huge profit by selling the copper mine, which is not comparable to selling hundreds of thousands of kilograms of grain.

You know, copper is the main material for making copper coins.

In the Daduan Dynasty, although gold and silver were mainly circulated, the common people most commonly used copper coins.

For example, Lin Wuyue's monthly wages to the villagers in Niubei Village were copper coins. Although he occasionally gave banknotes to the old village chief, they were in the minority after all.

This shows how valuable copper is.

Lin Yun looked at the ice-smart fourth lady and said with a smile: "Okay! Now you are also my Lin Yun, so I will tell you this secret! However, you have to remember that everything I tell you next will A word must not be spread outside, not even by your Sun family! Do you understand?"

Sun Xuemeng was shocked. He didn't expect that he and Lin Yun had been in contact for so long, and there were still secrets that he didn't know.

"Okay, I promise my husband! I promise to keep the secret strictly!"

Seeing that she agreed, Lin Yun looked at the west wall of the house, which happened to correspond to Niubei Mountain.

He said in a deep voice: "I deliberately chose Niubei Village when I was with the Lin family. The main purpose was because Niubei Mountain contains an astonishing amount of hematite reserves!"

As soon as these words came out, Sun Xuemeng took a breath and looked at him in surprise, unable to calm down for a long time.

Of course she knew what iron ore meant.

In this world, iron ore means strong industrial and military capabilities. Because whether it is to launch a war for external expansion or to resist foreign aggression, a large amount of weapons and equipment are needed.

Iron has become the most in-demand strategic resource.

Just like in the early years, the Daduan Dynasty strictly controlled the export of iron ore in order to fight against the invasion of the southern barbarians.

In the end, if the Southern Barbarians wanted to manufacture weapons and equipment, they had to resort to selling iron and steel, relying on the strength of the whole country to reluctantly launch a war.

However, due to lack of logistical supplies, they were still defeated by the Daduan Dynasty in the end, which shows the importance of iron ore.

In peacetime, gold and silver are naturally the most valuable, but once it enters wartime, iron is the most important resource.

Its importance can almost determine the national destiny of the Daduan Dynasty.

Sun Xuemeng straightened up suddenly, not caring about his naked body, and said in surprise: "Ms. sir, are you... are you kidding me? Is Niubei Mountain really containing a large amount of iron ore?"

Lin Yun nodded with a smile and said: "That's right! Not only does it contain iron ore, its purity and reserves are also amazing! Have you never heard before that Niubei Mountain is filled with the unpleasant smell of rotten eggs?"

"Of course I've heard of it, otherwise why would it be widely rumored to be a barren land? If my husband hadn't come here, this kind of place would have been forgotten long ago!"

"Yes, it smells like rotten eggs! In fact, this smell is caused by sulfur, which is a companion of hematite! I used to make ammunition based on the sulfur sand on Niubei Mountain!"

When Sun Xuemeng saw that everything was true, apart from the excitement in his heart, the rest was a surprise.

My man is not only very scheming, but also a man with a strong background.

He smiled bitterly and said, "Ms. sir, you've already made a lot of money from the business you put on the table now! If you mine and sell the copper and iron ores in Nianzi Mountain and Niubei Mountain, wouldn't you make yourself rich?"

Lin Yun said playfully: "A rich man? My fourth lady, do you have such ambition? This is not enough! I, Lin Yun, either don't do it, or I have to be the strongest! Therefore, the Lin family of the vassal is only me. It will not be my final destination! I happened to be chatting with Qi Rui, the commander of Ouchi's bodyguards, and I already learned that the current emperor has plans to reduce the vassal! If I don't make good use of this golden opportunity, what will happen? Brain problem!"

Sun Xuemeng curled his lips and said: "Yes, yes, I am short-sighted, okay! Anyway, I am a prostitute, so I don't have much knowledge! But, who asked me to find a husband with great ambitions!!"

With that said, Sun Xuemeng smiled sweetly and fell into Lin Yun's warm embrace again.

After hearing Lin Yun's heartfelt words, she finally gained confidence.

If everything goes well, there is really a good chance of defeating the Lin family.

And her Sun family will also rise with the rising tide.

Sun Xuemeng secretly rejoiced that the time for the Sun family to join Lin Yun was just right, neither too early nor too late. It was a timely help rather than the icing on the cake.

At this time, Sun Xuemeng nodded and said: "Ms. sir, if everything goes according to your plan, it will indeed bleed the Lin family, and it may even cause the Lin family to be seriously injured and fall off the altar! However, this is not the same as letting my Sun What does it have to do with opening Baicaotang in Taoyuan Town?"

"You don't understand? There's a lot of wisdom here!"

"First of all, once my Bago and the Lin family fight, there will definitely be casualties, and Baicaotang can take the opportunity to make money! This is one, and second, I can use this opportunity to monitor my Bago's every move! If there is a suitable opportunity, I don’t mind shady Lin’s family again behind my back!”

"As for Liu Qingyang, he will be my next target!"
