wealthy lord

Chapter 83: Gratitude and enmity
  In this feudal and backward world, this kind of output is already quite amazing.

If I develop some fertilizers that can increase growth, the yield may be improved again.

Niubei Village can't eat all this food. If it were sold, it would be an astronomical sum.

As we all know, in this feudal dynasty, farmers depended on God's will for farming.

If the weather is good, you can achieve high yields; if there is drought and little rain, you will definitely lose money.

As a result, even if there is a bumper harvest this year, the price of food will not be cheap, but will remain at a relatively average price under the control of the court.

In this way, when the annual production is low, the food supply can be maintained without shortage.

However, this industry rule is invalid for Lin Yun, a time traveler.

He can make artificial rainfall and can completely guarantee good weather and bumper harvests every year. In this way, he will have pricing power and gain more power. It is certain that he will make money by then. Lin Yun's greater ambition is to control the entire Daduan God. Food for the dynasty.

Of course, this kind of thought can only be thought about in his mind now. Lin Yun does not dare to expose himself too much before he has absolute strength.

After all, the common man is not guilty of the crime, and he does not want to become a thorn in the side of some interest groups.

Seeing Lin Yun's inscrutable expression, the old village chief asked curiously, "Master Lin, what are you thinking about?"

Only then did Lin Yun react and said with a smile: "It's nothing! It's nothing, you can go down! Also, take these seeds back!"

These wheat seeds are all high-quality products that Lin Yun has carefully cultivated over the past week.

"Oh well!"

The old village chief picked up two large sacks, turned around and left.

As soon as he arrived in front of the mansion, he saw a group of people coming towards him.

It was Ma Ji who was ordered to come.

The old village chief quickly put down the sack and went back to inform Lin Yun.

"Master Lin, someone from the government is here!!"

Lin Yun then went out to greet him. When he saw it was Ma Ji, he immediately smiled and said, "Hey, isn't this Manager Ma? What brought you here?"

Ma Ji raised his head and laughed, looking sanctimonious.

He had taken advantage of Lin Yun before, but he still said bad things about Lin Yun.

Of course, in his eyes, it was impossible to bribe him with just two hundred taels of silver.

Lin Yun actually understood this truth.

"Haha! Mr. Lin, I'm here to bring good news to you!"

Ma Ji has been an official for many years and is good at observing people's emotions. Although they have just met, it can be seen that Lin Yun is in a very good mood now.

"That's right! Please invite me quickly!"

Lin Yun didn't care what it was, he just invited him in first.

After the guest of honor took his seat, Lin Wuyue, as the eldest lady, immediately served tea.

Ma Ji nodded with a smile, picked up the tea cup and took a sip.

Lin Yun whispered in her ear: "Go and prepare five hundred taels of silver!"

Lin Wuyue glared, although her family had some money now, five hundred taels was too much.

"Ms. sir..."

"Don't ask any more questions. You won't decide whether the money will be spent or not!"

Lin Yun had to be prepared to see what news this horse season would bring. Lin Wuyue then turned around and entered the bedroom.

Lin Yun sat generously on the Grand Master's chair and said with a smile: "General Manager Ma has come a hundred miles away. He must have something to announce, right? If it's something good, I really want to know about it as soon as possible!"

Ma Ji put down the tea cup and said with a mysterious face: "Hey... Mr. Lin, don't be anxious! I heard from Mr. Lin before that the heavy rain last week was arranged by Mr. Lin? Is this possible?"

He understands people's hearts very well. He is obviously always spying on information, but he deliberately hides it and makes it seem like he wants to exchange information with Lin Yun.

Lin Yun smiled jokingly, not surprised at all.

After all, the last bet between him and Na Qiu Yi was still fresh in his mind.

"It's just rain, don't worry about it, Manager Ma!"

Ma Kun leaned forward slightly and said in a deep voice, "Did Mr. Lin arrange this rain?"

The words gradually changed their flavor and became full of coercion.

Lin Yun paused and smiled bitterly: "It's true! But it's just a blind cat encountering a dead mouse!"

Ma Ji nodded, feeling secretly frightened. However, he had been in officialdom for a long time and could control the heat. He knew that if he asked more carefully, he would offend someone.

He smiled and said: "Young Master Lin is a good person among men. Both the master and the young master have been exaggerating about you! Now it seems that you are indeed well-deserved!"

"Manager Ma, you came all the way this time, didn't you just want to inquire about the rain?"

Seeing Lin Yun's words suddenly become sharp, Ma Ji immediately sat up straight and said solemnly: "Of course not, I am here to give Mr. Lin some money!"

As he spoke, he waved to the guard standing behind him, and the guard immediately took out eight silver notes.

Ma Ji pushed the silver note in front of Lin Yun and said with a smile: "This is eight hundred taels of silver note, according to the thirty-seven cents agreed with Mr. Lin last time with Mr. Qiu! Please accept it!"

Lin Yun's eyes lit up and he said: "It seems that Yucheng Mansion's recent suppression of bandits has been very successful!"

"Of course, but it went so smoothly only because the four soldiers sent by Mr. Lin were so powerful!"

There was something in Ma Ji's words, which not only expressed his admiration for Lin Yun, but also seemed to say that he could make money.

It was indeed true. He had been the internal affairs manager of the Yucheng Mansion for more than ten years, and he had always seen his subordinates pay tribute to the government. This was the first time that he had seen his master give money to his subordinates, and this gift was a full eight hundred taels of silver.

This shows how powerful Lin Yun is.

The most important thing is that the money earned from this is black money and comes from shady sources, which is equivalent to stolen money.

Lin Yun quietly stuffed the seven silver notes into his arms, returned only the last one to Ma Ji, and said with a smile: "These one hundred taels of silver should be used as money for Manager Ma to run errands!"

Ma Ji lowered his head and looked at the banknotes. He seemed to be smiling brightly, but in fact, he was secretly scolding Lin Yun for being stingy.

Last time I gave myself two hundred taels of silver, but this time I only had one hundred taels left.

This is a typical example of enmity over rice and enmity over rice.

Lin Yun naturally saw that the smile on his face became stiff.

He joked: "What? Mr. Ma thinks there are too few?"

Ma Ji slowly raised his head, stared at Lin Yun and said: "Master Lin, you are very capable and can be trusted by Master Fu Yin. I am very impressed by my subordinates! But you have to know that if I don't mediate between you, Master Lin will never be able to do anything." I can’t get these eight hundred taels of silver!”

The guard behind him also showed a hint of provocation in his eyes, and held the saber at his waist tighter.

Lin Yun paused obviously and showed an intriguing smile: "Hey... I mean Manager Ma, you are the internal affairs manager of Yucheng Mansion. In other words, you are a senior official who specializes in managing money and materials for Mr. Fu Yin! Logically speaking, just... Sir, if you come here, even if you don’t have any official business, you should treat me well!"

"But since Manager Ma has made it clear, let me just say it! It's true that I, Lin Yun, have a little money in my hand, but my money didn't come from the strong wind. Manager Ma wants money, no problem, as long as Help me with as much as you want! I, Lin Yun, will never treat my allies badly!"
