wealthy lord

Chapter 91: Take precautions before they happen

But less than half a year has passed, and the entire Niubei Village has been completely transformed.

At this time, a group of soldiers on patrol came in and happened to meet Lin Yun.

The leader was none other than Zheng Li.

Zheng Li had sharp eyes and recognized Lin Yun instantly. He immediately stepped forward and said, "Mr. Lin, why are you out so late?"

"Oh, it's okay, I just came out to take a look!"

Lin Yun stood with his hands behind his hands, still staring at the wheat field.

He suddenly thought of something and asked, "By the way, is Manager Ma okay?"

The two of them drank a lot just now, and before Ma Ji left, he took away a hundred bottles of perfume, so Lin Yun was also worried that he would encounter danger on the road.

In Lin Yun's heart, Ma Ji is now his biggest helper and a key figure in whether he can gain a foothold in Yucheng. Naturally, he doesn't want anything to happen to him.

"Don't worry, Mr. Lin, the official road from Niubei Village to Yucheng Mansion is very safe now. There are no robbers anymore!"

Lin Yun nodded and said, "Okay! This is all your credit! Go back! Also, find the old village chief for me. I have something to say to him!"

"Yes!!"

Zheng Li responded before leading the team into the village.

Soon, several soldiers from Zheng Li came to the entrance of the village. One of the soldiers said curiously: "Commander, it seems that Mr. Lin is in a good mood today!"

"Of course, didn't you see that Ma Ji took away a batch of the perfume made by the young master? The young master must have made a lot of money!"

Zheng Li is considered Lin Yun's confidant, so it makes sense that he knows about the perfume.

The eyes of several soldiers suddenly lit up and they asked, "Is that perfume really valuable? How much silver can it be sold for?"

Zheng Li glanced behind him and said in a deep voice: "Don't ask any more questions, these matters have nothing to do with you! Remember, we are all Mr. Lin's private army, and our core mission is to protect the safety of the villagers and property of Niubei Village!! Do you know everything?"

"Yes!!"

Several soldiers also realized that they had said the wrong thing and agreed in unison.

Soon, Zheng Li came to the old village chief's house and knocked twice.

Even Lin Yun respected the old village chief. A smart person like Zheng Li would not dare to be unreasonable.

At this time, the door was opened. The old village chief was holding a pipe in one hand and smelling of alcohol. He smiled and said: "Oh, it turns out to be Commander Zheng. Come in and have a few glasses of wine to warm yourself up!"

Zheng Li turned his head and looked inside the house. On the earthen bed in the house, several villagers were sitting around a small table. There were several dishes on the table to go with wine. Everyone was drinking and their faces were red.

Zheng Li smiled and said: "I have work tonight, so I won't drink!"

"Oh? Then what's the point of Commander Zheng coming here so late?"

Although the old village chief drank a lot, he also understood that his relationship with Zheng Li was limited, so there was probably something wrong with him coming so late.

"That's right, Mr. Lin is waiting for you in the wheat field at the entrance of the village! He said he has something he wants to talk to you about!"

When the old village chief heard that Lin Yun was looking for him, he immediately sobered up a lot from the wine he was wearing and said seriously: "Okay, little old man, go right now!!"

As he said that, he turned to look at the villagers in the house and said, "You continue to drink. I will come back after I go to see Mr. Lin!"

Several villagers nodded quickly. They were all old people in the village and usually had a good relationship with the old village chief. However, looking at Niubei Village, they had no sense of presence at all. After all, they were old and could not work like the younger villagers. However, fortunately, Niubei Village has become wealthy now, allowing them to live a good life. They can also have a sip of wine to cheer them up when they have nothing to do.

After that, the old village chief hurriedly walked towards the wheat field at the entrance of the village.

When he arrived at Kou Village, he saw Lin Yun squatting alone on a small slope.

This slope is where villagers usually go to work in the fields and rest, so it is extremely conspicuous.

"Mr. Lin, are you looking for me?"

It was late at night, but the old village chief did not dare to have any resentment.

He knew that Lin Yun still came to talk to him so late, and it must be related to the news brought by Ma Ji, the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs who had just arrived.

Lin Yun could smell the faint smell of alcohol on his body and said with a smile, "I'm sorry to disappoint you!"

"It doesn't matter. Mr. Lin has been working day and night for our Niubei Village. I can't help with the decision-making, but I can still lend a hand! Whatever Mr. Lin asks, just say so!"

Because of drinking, the old village chief became more free and bold.

Lin Yun nodded and said with a smile: "Okay! Let me tell you the truth! According to the current growth situation of the crops, how much wheat can be produced by the time of harvest?"

The old village chief was stunned and asked: "Mr. Lin, didn't we make a rough calculation last time?"

"At first, the rough calculations were just simple statistics, but now we are seeing a bumper harvest in a few months. We must make predictions before we can properly arrange follow-up plans!"

Lin Yun knew that harvesting crops was also a very important step.

Even if there is no threat from the outside, the final work must be done well.

As we all know, harvesting crops is time-sensitive and must be completed within a few days, otherwise the grain will rot on the ground.

Moreover, harvested grain needs a cool and dry environment to be effectively stored.

The old village chief smiled bitterly and shook his head. He understood that Lin Yun must have arranged work in advance again.

Although it was completely meaningless in the eyes of the villagers, the old village chief understood that Lin Yun was able to make Niubei Village from poverty to food and clothing so efficiently because of his rigorous attitude towards everything.

"Mr. Lin, in recent months the villagers have made statistics while farming. Our planting area this time is 1,100 acres! Looking at the growth of the crops, one acre of land can harvest at least 300 kilograms of grain! If according to the Calculated this way, this year’s harvest will amount to 300,000 catties of grain!”

The old village chief talked eloquently. When it came to growing crops, he naturally had the most say. Although Niubei Village had not farmed any land in the past ten or eight years, when he was young, Niubei Village still had some cultivated land. , so he is quite experienced and can roughly calculate the yield just by looking at the acres of land.

Lin Yun's eyes lit up and he said, "Are you sure the yield per mu can be three hundred catties?"

If this kind of output were placed on a technologically farmed earth, it would be too little.

But in the Daduan Dynasty, the yield per mu could reach 300 kilograms, which was an astronomical figure.

Moreover, it was Niubei Village, the most barren land in the eyes of outsiders.

The old village chief was drinking with a few old guys just now, and he was still praising Lin Yun for his greatness.

Not only did the barren land of Niubei Village realize farming, but it also produced such an outstanding output. Looking at the Daduan Dynasty, I dare not say that it is second to none, but it is definitely a dark horse.

I believe that after this good harvest, the reputation of Niubei Village will gradually be known to the outside world, and the negative views in the past will be changed.
