wealthy lord

Chapter 440 Corporal Punishment
  Lin Yun sneered: "It's advantageous!!"

"The humble position is here!!"

"Please invite the chief envoy to the village!! Remember, you must take him to see the changes in our Niubei Village!! Do you understand?"

"I humbly obey my orders!!"

After saying this, Zheng Li got off his horse, made a gesture of invitation to Lin Zixiang, and said without being humble or arrogant: "Master Lin, please!!"

Lin Zixiang gritted his teeth secretly and could only nod in agreement.

Lin Yun changed direction and rode back to the village.

In fact, it is not that Lin Yun insists on overpowering Lin Zixiang.

This old guy has always been unconvinced. The last time he almost killed Lin Jie, because of his selfishness, Lin Yun's plan could not proceed smoothly, which made Lin Yun very dissatisfied with this old guy.

Unexpectedly, when Lin Zixiang came to Niubei Village, he would dare to show off his officialdom. How could Lin Yun tolerate him?
  At this time, a Lin family guard said: "Sir, you'd better take the sedan!! It's still a long way to Niubei Village!!"

Lin Zixiang looked so masculine, he was quite embarrassed today.

Zheng Li said in a deep voice: "Mr. Lin, my young master has already told you! Let me take you to see the changes in my Niubei Village in person! I am still waiting for your valuable opinions!!"

Lin Zixiang secretly hated it in his heart. He understood that Lin Yun's naked revenge on him at this time could be regarded as a blow to him.

After thinking about it, even though he was not convinced, when he came to Lin Yun's territory, he could only pinch his nose and admit it.

Said: "No need! I just want to see the development of Niubei Village!!" Then he looked at Zheng Lili and said: "Lead the way!!"

Zheng Li nodded, then turned and left, while Lin Zixiang followed silently.

He had no idea that after entering the village, there would be nearly ten miles waiting for him.

It is estimated that if he knew that there was still such a long way to go, he would not choose to walk.

But he could tell that Lin Yun was quite dissatisfied with him and was deliberately looking for trouble.

Here, Lin Yun returned to the village with a smile on his face. He did not expect that the Lin family would send Lin Zixiang.

He needs to be well prepared to teach this old guy a profound and unforgettable lesson.

As soon as Lin Yung tied the horse into the stable, Yang Tiexin came over and said, "Sir, the deep well has been dug!! It's at the old crooked neck tree behind the village!!"

“Very good, let’s go and have a look!!”

"Master, please come with me!!"

Lin Yun followed him and left.

Lin Yun was not worried that Lin Zixiang would enter the village early. If he walked, it would take at least half an hour to walk ten miles with Lin Zixiang's rotten body that usually never touched the ground.

Soon, Lin Yun followed Yang Tiexin to the village and saw the old crooked neck tree in the distance. The tree was dead, but it could still be used as a reference.

Under the tree, several villagers were piling stones on the edge of the wellhead.

Although they don't know why Lin Yun wants to dig a well again, no one in Niubei Village knows that Mr. Lin has always been unpredictable in his work, and most people can't guess his thoughts.

When Lin Yun came over, several villagers quickly stood in a row and said hello to him.

Lin Yunhan smiled and said: "Thank you for your hard work! It's such a hot day and we have to dig a well!!"

"It doesn't matter!! We are all very willing to do things for Mr. Lin!!"

"That's right, Mr. Lin has done so many practical things for the village and led everyone out of poverty and become rich. It's not too late for us to thank you!!"

Looking at the simple smiling faces of several villagers, Lin Yun nodded and said, "Okay, you go back first! Go directly to the eldest lady to receive the reward!!" The villagers were overjoyed, and then left in a hurry.

They didn't expect that they would be rewarded for digging a well.

Yang Tiexin saw this and said: "Master Lin, there is no need to spend some money! They already earn a lot every month! Even in Yucheng, the income of one tael of silver per month is considered high. Income!"

Lin Yun smiled and said: "Of course I know! But I want to let outsiders know that if you hang out with Lin Yun, you will not only have broth to drink, but you can also eat meat occasionally!!"

When it comes to controlling people, Lin Yun may be far inferior to the current emperor, but he is also very proficient in winning people's hearts.

But don’t underestimate the villagers of Niubei Village.

A single villager may not be of much value, but there are more than 500 people in the village. In addition, life has been good in the past two years, and new people are gradually added to the village. In a few years, there will be another A lot of labor.

But this still couldn't satisfy Lin Yun's needs.

There are too many things he will do. Projects such as growing grain, building factories, mining, doing business, etc. all require a large amount of labor.

Moreover, although Lin Yun now has a good relationship with the court, he always feels uneasy.

Throughout the ages, there have been countless examples of rabbits dying, dogs cooking birds, and bows hiding. He must leave himself a way out.

Therefore, he wants to attract more people to join Niubei Village. If one day, something unpredictable happens, he can mobilize the young people from Niubei Village to join the army. Coupled with Niubei Village's terrifying industrial strength, Once the production is fully launched, it will be enough to supply an entire army with equipment.

Of course, Lin Yun could not tell anyone these inner thoughts, not even to the person closest to him, he would not say a word.

Lin Yun also has a wish, which is to use Niubei Village as the foundation to gradually develop into an economic center with comprehensive strength that surpasses the capital city.

When the time comes, he controls not only money and food, but also population. No one can stop him from doing anything he wants to do, and no one can threaten his life anymore.

At this time, Lin Yun came to the mouth of the well and looked down. The well was at least thirty meters away. Although there was no wind, Lin Yun could still vaguely feel a cool breeze blowing on his face.

"How deep is this well?"

Yang Tiexin replied: "The villagers measured it just now and it was about thirty-five meters deep! But..."

Seeing him hesitating, Lin Yun frowned and said, "But what?"

"Sir, due to the special environment of Niubei Village, the water from this well may not be drinkable normally!"

As he spoke, Yang Tiexin hung a wooden bucket on an iron hook, threw the bucket into the well, filled it with some well water, then turned the wheel and pulled the bucket up.

Lin Yun took a closer look and found that the well fruit was indeed not clear enough, with a faint hint of red.

He knew that the red color was caused by sulfur.

He murmured: 'It seems that the natural environment of Niubei Mountain has not improved much! The groundwater here is so turbid! '

Yang Tiexin smiled bitterly and said: "So, Master, this well will be useless even if it is dug!"

"Who said it was an abandoned well? I had no intention of using this well for the villagers to use for their livelihood!"

Yang Tiexin looked surprised and said: "If you don't let the villagers use it? Then why dig a well?"

Lin Yun smiled mysteriously and said: "The mountain man has his own clever plan!!"

After saying that, Lin Yun turned and left.

Yang Tiexin was completely confused.
