wealthy lord

Chapter 82 Prepare for a rainy day
  "Huh, a thousand taels? Where are you sending to beg? He is an imperial envoy sent by the imperial court, and he is a third-rank official. His annual salary and various subsidies are far more than a thousand taels! Moreover, he is specially sending the money this time When I go to each county to conduct a census of the local people’s livelihood, my next stop will definitely be Yucheng!”

Qiu Guangri rolled her eyes.

"Then how much do you think is appropriate?"

It's not that Ma Ji doesn't understand, he just doesn't dare to say it. He knows how stingy his master is, and he will definitely be punished if he gives too much.

"Well... you go to the warehouse and withdraw ten thousand taels of silver!"

After all, they were using power for personal gain. Although they were the only ones in the study, Qiu Guangri was still a little embarrassed and her tone was obviously much lower.

“I accept my order from my humble position!!”

After saying that, Ma Ji turned around and left.

At this time, the secret door on the side of the study suddenly opened, and a middle-aged man in gray robe walked out.

"Sir, what Manager Ma just said makes sense. Lin Yun is obviously very ambitious. Even if you want to take advantage of him, you'd better give him a beating, otherwise trouble may arise!"

This middle-aged man in gray robe has a mustache and is holding a bamboo stick in his hand. When he walks, his right leg is obviously shorter.

It turns out that he is the master Qiu Guangri hired at a high price, named Chang Yufeng.

This man is also a legend. He took the scientific examination ten times in a row, but failed in all of them.

It was not that he was not knowledgeable enough, but that he had offended a senior official in the capital, and that was why he was in such a miserable state.

Fortunately, he was not knocked down by the injustice of fate. After giving up the scientific examination, he became a master in Yucheng Mansion.

It can be said that the ability of a corrupt official like Qiu Guangri to reach the position of fourth-grade governor was all due to Chang Yufeng's advice.

Including sending Ma Ji to Haocheng to deliver gifts to the imperial envoy this time, it was also San Yufeng's idea.

Qiu Guangri sighed: "Actually, I was aware of Lin Yun's ambition as early as my first interview with him!"

"However, I am sure that this kid is not targeting us! A few days ago, I asked someone to secretly inquire about Lin Yun's affairs in the Lin family! This kid was deceived by the Lin family! Moreover, even though he married three wives, he wanted to Pay off debts to three wives!”

"The Lin family treats these bastards as outsiders. Once all their value is squeezed out of them, they will be abandoned!"

"So, after this kid gains power, he will definitely take revenge against the Lin family!"

Even though Qiu Guangri has such a powerful master, he is actually very smart himself.

Chang Yufeng suddenly realized: "That's it! If you say so, Lin Yun is hiding his courage now!"

Qiu Guangri also smiled bitterly and nodded, saying: "So, we only need to know this kid's actions. If there are more, we don't need to get too involved. When he fails to deal with the Lin family one day, he will definitely die! We can take advantage of him now." , wouldn’t it be nice to leave all the things that are inconvenient for us to him to do?”

Chang Yufeng nodded and said: "Best regards, sir!"

"Ha ha!!"

They both laughed at the same time.

……

Ever since Lin Yun successfully launched rain bombs, the entire Niubei Village was in a state of excitement.

The villagers were shocked when they learned that Lin Yun could make it rain.

Some children in the village even called Lin Yun a living god, and even naive children knelt down and kowtowed to him.

This made Lin Yun embarrassed and even gave some scraps of silver to the child.

He would not take advantage of this in vain. After all, when a junior kowtows to an adult, he must return the favor.

The enthusiasm of the villagers for farming has become even higher.

According to Lin Yun's instructions, organic fertilizer was produced in an orderly manner and improved the thousand acres of land in Niubei Village.

There is not much land in the direction of the village entrance, but there is endless land in the direction of the lake.

But because of the last rainfall, the land was also a lot moister.

In just one week, a large area of ​​land was completely improved. Even standing in Niubei Village, you can smell the aroma of earth.

This was absolutely impossible to happen in the past.

On this day, Lin Yun was playing with the prepared bamboo tubes in the courtyard.

These bamboo tubes are as tall as a person, and he stands them on the edge of the courtyard wall.

Now that the rain bombs can really make rain fall, Lin Yun has finalized the manufacturing process and plans to prepare more rain bombs.

Prepare for subsequent rains after planting.

At this time, the old village chief walked in. Seeing Lin Yun busy talking, he immediately smiled and said: "Sir, do you want to see me for anything? If you need anything, just ask me!"

He became more and more respectful and admiring of Lin Yun.

Everything Lin Yun invents can greatly improve the life of Niubei Village, allowing the villagers to gradually live a more prosperous life.

Looking back on the past, Niubei Village not only lacked enough food and clothing, but also had to worry about being robbed by robbers all day long.

Thinking about it now, life at that time was really worse than death.

He patted the dust on his hands, opened the big cloth bag placed aside, and said with a smile: "It's nothing! It's just that during this time, the villagers are busy producing black powder, and it's hard to farm the land, so the money will be divided Give it to the villagers! Consider it their wages!"

The old village chief took it with a look of astonishment. After a closer look, he found that it was at least a hundred taels.

"Mr. Lin, haven't you paid your wages every day? Besides, the cultivated land is also good for Niubei Village. Everyone works willingly. We can't take the money!"

The old village chief is not stupid, he knows that greed is the most annoying thing.

Moreover, as the head of a village, he understands the benefits of long-lasting water.

If he opens his eyes to money, it will make Lin Yun feel unhappy.

Lin Yun smiled and said: "Take it! It's not too much to distribute this little money to the villagers! It's just a token of my appreciation from me, Lin Yun!"

"this…"

The old village chief hesitated.

He was embarrassed to take it, but he was afraid that Lin Yun would be unhappy if he didn't take it.

Finally, the old village chief gritted his teeth and said: "In this way, this money will be given to Xiao Lao first. When money is needed for farming in the future, it will be paid from this money!"

When Lin Yun saw this, he could only agree.

He patted the old village chief on the shoulder and said with a smile: "You really like me!"

The old village chief laughed along with him.

This was a compliment to him, but it also made him understand a deeper meaning.

Lin Yun said in a deep voice: "How is the farming going?"

He went around in a big circle and finally got to the point.

The old village chief said quickly: "It's almost done! Our Niubei Village is full of wasteland, and the soil is loose, so it's not tiring to plow it!"

"Well, how many acres of land are there in total?"

The old village chief said quickly: "About a thousand acres of land!"

Lin Yun's eyes lit up. As a time traveler, he naturally knew how to calculate. One acre of land on the earth can produce about 600 to 800 kilograms of wheat in a year.

Due to the lack of chemical fertilizers in this world and the barren land in Niubei Village, even if I improve it with organic fertilizer, the yield may not reach 600 kilograms.

According to the minimum standard, even if one acre of land can only produce 200 to 300 kilograms, that year there will be a harvest of 200,000 to 300,000 kilograms.
