Need for money

Although building a shovel is a trivial matter, ordering so many at once can easily arouse suspicion and curiosity of others. Lin Jingzhi originally planned to open up wasteland and dig canals, and Tianji and Wang Meng were caught off guard, so the news was naturally The less people know about it, the better.

"Before I pick up the goods, you must not disclose the fact that the Lin family made the shovel! Also, you are not allowed to sell the shovel I ordered in advance before I get the goods." Lin Jingzhi thought about it, and felt that he should try his best to be careful It's better, otherwise, once this kind of shovel is sold, it is easy to attract people's attention because of its convenience and ease of use.

After all, Lin Jingzhi's face turned serious, and he had an extra majesty out of thin air. Finally, he glanced at the direction of several masters and apprentices in the shop, the meaning was self-evident.

"No problem, the villain can agree to these conditions, and the villain can also guarantee that they won't talk nonsense after they go out." The middle-aged man nodded quickly when he heard the words, and the sweat on his forehead seemed to have increased. Drooling down, I don't know if it's because of the heat or because I was scared.

As a small blacksmith shop owner, he didn't dare to offend the Lin family in the slightest, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

Thirty copper coins for a shovel, ten shovels are three hundred taels, one hundred three thousand taels is three taels of silver, and the twenty thousand shovels are 600 taels of silver. To the Lin family, this amount of money may not be a big deal. But for ordinary people with big heads, these 600 taels of silver are enough for them to live for several lifetimes.

Reaching into his bosom, Lin Jingzhi took out two silver bills and handed them to the owner of the blacksmith shop, "These 200 taels of silver will be used as a deposit. I will pick up the goods in ten days. If the quantity is sufficient, I will give you the rest, yes." Alright, haven't you asked your honorable name?"

"Don't dare to be, dare not be, the villain's surname is Jing. Don't worry, Second Master Lin, ten days later, the villain will be able to make [-] shovels." The middle-aged man nodded repeatedly and took the silver ticket.

"Okay, if it can be made, it will be done, but I will say the ugly things before, if something goes wrong, the goods will not be delivered, and my major event will be delayed, hum!" Lin Jingzhi said, snorted coldly, and then went to the blacksmith I scanned the inside of the shop lightly.

The middle-aged man surnamed Jing trembled slightly, and quickly reassured himself that he would be able to do it.

When leaving the blacksmith's shop, Aunt Yu took away dozens of steel needles that had just been thrown out. The boss surnamed Jing had just negotiated a big deal with Lin Jingzhi, so he generously didn't take any money, and only gave it as a gift.

After the matter of the shovel was settled, Lin Jingzhi thought about the matter of the wheelbarrow again. At that time, tens of thousands of people would dig rivers and flat fields. Without a more convenient car, it would be absolutely impossible.

If only bamboo baskets are used to carry it, the work efficiency will be greatly reduced and the completion date will be delayed.

It seems that after going back, I have to find a car to study and study.

"Yu'er, wait until tomorrow morning, can you teach me how to hurt someone with a steel needle?" Lin Jingzhi made up his mind, and his pace became much faster. He saw Aunt Yu was following her side without saying a word. , took the initiative to say with a shy face, and at the same time, I was looking forward to it in my heart.

Hearing such a sentence out of the blue, Aunt Yu instinctively shook her head and refused. After all, Lin Jingzhi's current physical condition did not meet the requirements at all, but after she saw the eagerness in Lin Jingzhi's eyes, she forcibly stopped her movements , "Tomorrow I can show you the power of hidden weapons first. As for when I will teach you how to use them, I have my own plans in mind, and it's useless for you to rush."

"Okay!" Although he can't study for the time being, it's good to be able to open his eyes, so Lin Jingzhi is not disappointed at all, he only hopes that this woman of his can surprise him again like the last time he overcame the wall.

Along the way, Lin Jingzhi kept looking for topics to chat with Aunt Yu. Although Aunt Yu mostly just replied and rarely opened the mouth, Lin Jingzhi was still a little excited. As long as Aunt Yu didn't reject him as a husband, It will be much easier to increase the relationship in the future.

Back at the gate of the Lin Mansion, Lin Jingzhi suddenly remembered something, stopped, turned around, and told the two guards behind him with a serious face: "No matter what you see or hear today, give it to me." Second master, I swallowed it in my stomach, so don't spread it, you understand?"

"Understood." Because the master seldom talked to these servants with a straight face, the two guards knew that what they saw and heard today must have a lot to do with it, so they quickly nodded and agreed.

"Yu'er, I've been busy all day today. You must be exhausted. You have nothing to do. You should go back to the small courtyard to rest. I'll go to the old lady and report some things."

In Aunt Yu's eyes, this scholar-scholar is a weak person who is easily tired and needs to be taken care of. Hearing that the weak person in front of him actually cared about her and said that she must be exhausted, she was speechless.

"Well, you should go to bed early too." When leaving, Aunt Yu suddenly said something that surprised even herself, then blushed pretty, turned around and left to cover up.

Lin Jingzhi was stunned, then laughed, the two of them had to go to the backyard, and there was still a section of road in the same direction, but Aunt Yu just kept speeding up, causing Lin Jingzhi to trot, but couldn't catch up.

Seeing the gate of the backyard, Aunt Yu just stepped up a few steps to throw the scholar far away, but suddenly saw a woman in green running out of the opposite courtyard. Waving the object in his hand, "Second Master, you are back, how about the maid and concubine's embroidery?"

Lin Jingzhi heard the voice and looked up, it turned out to be Aunt Rou, just waiting for a response, but his face changed slightly, at this time Aunt Rou had already run to the front, holding the things in her hand in front of Lin Jingzhi like offering treasures .

"Did you embroider these embroidery overnight?" The girl in front of her had red eyes and swollen eyelids, like two big peaches. He looked happy, but he still couldn't hide his tiredness.

Aunt Rou saw that Lin Jingzhi didn't even look at the embroidery in her hand, and her face was very ugly, her heart skipped a beat, she instinctively took a step back in shock, and said in a low voice, "Well, it's the concubine who embroidered all night. from."

As soon as the voice of this sentence fell, Aunt Yu opened her mouth wide, while Lin Jingzhi hugged Aunt Rou who was opposite in front of the crowd, ignoring the instinctive struggle of the beautiful woman in her arms, he put Aunt Rou's body Flip over, raise your hand, and hit the beautiful wife's buttocks with a 'slap, slap, slap'.

It wasn't until there was a pain in her buttocks that Aunt Rou realized that after her husband saw the embroidery she made overnight, instead of praising her, he punished her and spanked her ass.

In the silent choking, tears flowed down.
