Rich and powerful

"Hmph, 1000 taels? Where are you sending beggars? He is an imperial envoy sent by the imperial court, and he is even a third-rank official. His annual salary and various subsidies are far more than 1000 taels! Moreover, this time he is specially sent to various departments. The county government will conduct a census of the local people's livelihood, and the next stop will definitely be Yucheng!"

Qiu Guangri rolled his eyes.

"How much does your lord think is appropriate?"

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

"Well...you go to the warehouse to withdraw 1 taels of silver!"

After all, seeking personal gain with power, although there were only the two of them in the study, Qiu Guangri was still a little embarrassed, and his tone was obviously much lower.

"I'm in a humble position!!"

After the words fell, Ma Ji turned and left.

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

"My lord, what Boss Ma said just now makes sense. Lin Yun is obviously ambitious. Even if your lord wants to use him, you'd better beat him a little bit, otherwise you may cause trouble!"

This gray-robed middle-aged man has a mustache and a bamboo stick in his hand. When walking, his right leg is obviously shorter.

It turned out that he was a master invited by Qiu Guangri at a high price, and his name was Chang Yufeng.

This man is also a legend. He participated in ten consecutive scientific examinations, but failed all of them.

It's not that he is not knowledgeable enough, but that he offended a high official in the capital that year, which is why he is so downcast.

Fortunately, he was not overwhelmed by the injustice of fate. After giving up the scientific examination, he went to Yucheng Mansion as a master.

It can be said that a corrupt official like Qiu Guangri was able to rise to the position of the fourth-rank governor, all thanks to Chang Yufeng's advice.

Including sending Ma Ji to Haocheng to give gifts to the imperial envoy this time, that was also Chang Yufeng's idea.

Qiu Guangri sighed: "Actually, I realized Lin Yun's ambition as early as the first time I had an interview with him!"

"However, I'm sure this kid is not targeting us! I asked someone to secretly inquire about Lin Yun's affairs in the Lin family a few days ago! This kid has been tricked by the Lin family! Besides, don't look at him married three wives, but he wants Pay off the debts for the three wives!"

"The Lin family completely treats these bastards as outsiders, and they will be abandoned when all their value is drained!"

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

Although Qiu Guangri has such a powerful master, in fact, he himself is also very intelligent.

Chang Yufeng suddenly realized: "So that's the case! If you say that, this Lin Yun is hiding his courage now!"

Qiu Guangri also nodded with a wry smile, and said: "So, we only need to know about this kid's actions, and we don't need to participate too much. When he fails to deal with the Lin family one day, he will definitely die! It's just a good time to use 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, "Your Excellency, I appreciate it!"

"Ha ha!!"

The two laughed at the same time.

……

Ever since Lin Yun fired the rain bomb and successfully brought down the rain, the whole Niubei Village was in a state of excitement.

The villagers were astonished when they learned that Lin Yun could make it rain all over the world.

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

It made Lin Yun feel embarrassed, and even took out some broken silver coins to give to the child.

He will not take advantage of this for nothing, after all, the younger generation kowtows to the adults, and they have to pay back the courtesy.

The enthusiasm of the villagers to cultivate the land is even higher.

According to the method Lin Yun explained, organic fertilizers were produced in an orderly manner to improve the land of a thousand acres in Niubei Village.

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

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

In just one week, a large area of ​​land was completely improved.

Even standing in Niubei Village, you can smell the fragrance of the soil.

It was absolutely impossible for this 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 on the edge of the courtyard wall and stacks them.

Since the rain bombs can really bring down rain, Lin Yun has confirmed the manufacturing process and plans to prepare more rain bombs.

Prepare for the rain that will follow after farming.

At this time, the old village head came in, seeing Lin Yun talking, he immediately smiled and said, "My lord, what do you need from me? If you need anything, just tell me!"

He respected and admired Lin Yun more and more.

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

Thinking back to the past, Niubei Village not only lacked food and clothing, but also had to worry about guarding against robbers all day long.

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

He patted the ashes on his hands, opened the big cloth bag on the side, and said with a smile: "It's nothing! It's just that the villagers are busy producing black powder, and it's hard to plow the land, so the money will be divided To the villagers! It’s their wages!”

The old village chief took it with a look of astonishment, and after a closer look, it was at least 100 taels.

"Mr. Lin, don't you pay your wages every day? Besides, the cultivated land is also for the benefit of Niubei Village. Everyone is willing to work. We can't ask for this money!"

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

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

If he sees money openly, it will make Lin Yun feel uncomfortable.

Lin Yun smiled and said, "Take it! It's not too much money to distribute to the villagers! It's my heart, Lin Yun!"

"This…"

The old village head hesitated.

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

In the end, the old village chief gritted his teeth and said, "In this way, the money will be handed over to Xiao Lao first, and when the money is needed for farming in the future, it will be paid out of this money!"

Seeing this, Lin Yun could only agree.

He patted the shoulder of the old village chief, and said with a smile: "You are really in my favor!"

The old village head laughed dryly.

These words were a compliment to him, but it also made him hear a deeper meaning.

Lin Yun said in a deep voice, "How's the plowing going?"

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

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

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

The old village head quickly said: "About a thousand mu of land!"

Lin Yun's eyes brightened. As a traveler, he naturally knows how to calculate. One mu of land on the earth can produce about [-] to [-] catties of wheat a year.

And because of the lack of chemical fertilizers in this world, and the barren land in Niubei Village, even if it is improved by using organic fertilizers, the output may not reach [-] catties.

According to the minimum standard, even if the yield of one mu of land is only two to three hundred catties, there will be a harvest of two to three hundred thousand catties that year.
