Rich and powerful

Chapter 114: Making friends with imperial envoys

Moreover, he is also very particular about asking for benefits.

If it is less, Lin Yun will be suspicious, and if it is more, it will directly talk about collapse, which is extremely detrimental to him.

Therefore, [-]% is neither too much nor too little, just in line with Lin Yun's bottom line.

Lin Yun was amazed in his heart. As time went by, he found that Cui Mingchong's every word was calculated. If he didn't think carefully, he might be sold and count the money for him.

At this time, Cui Mingchong saw that he hadn't responded for a long time, and said in a deep voice, "How is Mr. Lin thinking?"

"Thirty percent of the income is no problem! But I have to make one thing clear in advance. I must be clear about the transaction in the middle. I don't care who Master Cui completes with behind, I will participate in it!"

Lin Yun is not stupid, this Cui Mingchong is not credible now, if he is not prepared, it is really unreliable.

What's more, he grows food in order to wait for an opportunity to enter an official career in the future. Although he is already in charge of the Yucheng Internal Affairs Office, he is only a low-level official, and he is not necessary at all.

"Okay, then it's a deal! Mr. Lin, keep the food properly, and when the plan is officially implemented, I will bring people here!"

Cui Mingchong smiled happily.

I took such a big risk tonight, almost died, and finally got the reward I deserved.

"When does Master Cui plan to start?"

"Hey, Mr. Lin, don't worry! This life is unsatisfactory in all likelihood, and the rest of the day is still a long way to go! What's more, such a big deal, do you think you can get it right away? I'll leave it to you, no one Don't even think about it for a year or so!"

Lin Yun laughed at himself and said, "That's right, I'm too anxious!"

It is not easy to sell a whole 20 catties of grain without showing any signs of expression.

"Okay, now you can tell me how much food you have in total?"

Cui Mingchong's eyes lit up with anticipation.

Lin Yun smiled playfully, clenched his hands into fists and raised them slowly.

Cui Mingchong frowned and said, "What do you mean? Is it one hundred thousand catties? It should be more than that?"

He just heard the report from his subordinates, so he didn't believe it at all.

Lin Yun smiled and said, "It's not one hundred thousand catties, but two hundred thousand catties!"

"Squeak!!"

Although Cui Mingchong had been prepared, he was still taken aback when he heard the number he reported. He stood up abruptly, and the chair behind him made a harsh sound.

"What! 20 catties? You're crazy!"

Not long ago, King Zhennan of the Daduan Dynasty fought against the barbarians in the north. He sent [-] elite soldiers, and the imperial court allocated only [-] jin of grain.

And it is planned to end the battle within ten days. Based on the calculation of one catty of grain per person per day, 1 people will consume [-] catties of grain, which is exactly [-] catties in ten days.

And Lin Yun's 20 catties of grain is enough to support a regular army of 1 people to fight for 20 days.

Marching and fighting are all about logistical supplies, and there is another saying that soldiers and horses go first without using food and grass.

It can be seen that the importance of food is definitely above people.

If there is no sufficient food and grass as a backing, no matter how strong the Daduan Dynasty is, it will never dare to go to war easily.

Lin Yun didn't expect Cui Mingchong to have such a big reaction, and was taken aback by him.

However, it is understandable.

Whether it is Ma Ji or Zheng Li.

After all, their horizons are limited, and Cui Mingchong is the minister of the household department. If placed on the earth, he would be a proper deputy finance minister.

When marching and fighting, allocating food and grass and other logistical matters are all his responsibilities.

Lin Yun was secretly happy, if he could become such a high official, it would be easier to deal with the Lin family in the future.

Immediately, he smiled and said, "Master Cui, don't be surprised. As long as there is a stable source of customers and a safe transportation route, I guarantee an endless supply of food! Moreover, it will not be affected by natural or man-made disasters!"

This is not a big deal on the earth, but this is in the feudal dynasty, and farmers farming the land are tantamount to praying to God and begging for food from God.

If there are natural and man-made disasters, it will definitely affect the harvest, so no one dares to be so confident that they can have a bumper harvest every year.

Cui Mingchong took a deep breath, and then looked at Lin Yun with meaningful eyes.

He originally thought that Lin Yun could store [-] to [-] catties of grain in his hands, even if it was very impressive, it would be enough for him to earn a lot of money.

Moreover, looking at Daduan Shenchao, even if Lin Yun is far from being powerful, he already has amazing potential.

After all, no one has the guts to hoard such a large amount of grain privately.

He never expected that it would be 20 jin.

However, it was precisely because of Lin Yun's boldness that Cui Ming gave him a higher look.

There was even an urge to take Lin Yun under his command.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this bastard who was abandoned by the Lin family is definitely not something in the pond.

But before making a decision, Cui Mingchong will continue to investigate.

Cui Mingchong is only in his early forties now, but he has already taken up the position of the left servant of the household department, and even a second-rank senior official. As long as there are no problems in his tenure and he makes a few great achievements, he will definitely be promoted in the future, and he will be promoted to the household department Shang Shu, it will be a matter of time.

Therefore, he saw the hope of promotion in Lin Yun.

These thoughts only flashed through his mind.

And now Cui Mingchong is more worried about Lin Yun's ambition, it would be best if he can use it, but if he can't control it, it will be a big problem if he stays.

Said in a deep voice, "Lin Yun, are you sure it's just for making money and not having other ideas?"

Cui Mingchong was a little nervous. He was afraid that Lin Yun would rebel against him. If he foolishly joined in, he would be in trouble in the future.

Lin Yun smiled wryly, clasped his fists to the sky, and said: "Da Duan God is in the country, the country is safe and the people are safe, and I think of the goodness of the Holy One. Although I, Lin Yun, am humble, I am also sensible and grateful. How can I be a disaster and harm the people of the Li people?"

Only then did Cui Mingchong nod in satisfaction, and pushed back the stack of banknotes on the table to Lin Yun, saying, "Okay, as long as you understand this truth! The money will be exempted, and you can keep it for yourself!"

Lin Yun looked down at the bank note and said, "Then the plan will go ahead as usual?"

"Well! It's getting late! I'm going back first! I'll make all the fuss after I return to court!"

With that said, Cui Mingchong got up and left.

But Lin Yun stared at his back, and said, "I'm afraid it's wrong for Master Cui to just leave like this?"

Cui Mingchong stopped suddenly, understood instantly, tilted his head and said, "Don't worry! I will never renege on my word and get fat, let alone retaliate against you!"

As he spoke, he took out a token from his bosom and threw it behind him.

Lin Yun caught it immediately, and a lifelike goshawk was engraved on the front, spreading its wings and flying.

On the back is engraved a household name.

This is the personal token of the servant of the household department. As long as he holds this token, Lin Yun can even enter the household department.

From this it can be seen that Cui Mingchong also invested heavily in order to win Lin Yun's trust.

Only then did Lin Yun feel relieved, and said with a smile: "Go slowly, my lord, and the grass people will be sent off soon!"

"En!" Cui Mingchong also brushed his sleeves, opened the door and left.
