Rich and powerful

This time he came with a mission to find food for the disaster relief in Haocheng, if he returned empty-handed, it would be a big delay.

In the distance, all the villagers in Niubei Village also became nervous.

Although the three wives believed in Lin Yun's ability, they were still afraid of any mistakes, and they all looked worried.

Only Lin Yun showed no fear, and said with a smile: "Lord Qiu, I don't know, but just the day before yesterday, Niubei Village started harvesting grain! Now the grain has already been stored in the warehouse! So, of course, you can't see the ears of wheat!"

"Hmph, my officer once said that he would send officers and soldiers from Yucheng Mansion to collect grain. How dare you disobey the order?"

Such a character as Qiu Guangri, it was natural to see that Lin Yun was playing tricks with him, and he hated him to death.

"Your Excellency, you have really misunderstood the grassroots! This kind of grain harvesting is what I should deal with in Niubei Village, so how dare you bother the Yucheng Mansion for help! The grassroots are sincere and have no intention of deceiving!"

In the presence, apart from the imperial envoy Cui, who didn't know Lin Yun well, Qiu Guangri and Ma Ji knew Lin Yun's character very well.

These remarks may seem pleasant, but in fact they are complete nonsense.

If Lin Yun was as honest and obedient as he said, then Qiu Guangri would not have to worry about it long ago, and he would even come in person today.

"Hmph, I want to ask you, how much grain has been produced in Niubei Village this year!"

This is the most important event for Qiu Guangri.

Both Ma Ji and the imperial envoy stared at Lin Yun.

Lin Yun had already reminded the old village chief to count the total and then store the grain separately.

He turned his head to look behind him and waved to the old village chief.

The old village chief immediately trotted forward. He had never seen such a big battle before, and he was already shivering with fright.

Lin Yun asked: "Old village chief, tell Master Qiu how much grain our Niubei Village has produced in total this year!"

The old village head stared into Lin Yun's eyes, and seeing him wink at him cryptically, he immediately understood, and said in a trembling voice: "Report to Mr. Fu Yin, Niubei Village has produced a total of 12 catties of wheat this year!"

Lin Yun breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this number. He was afraid that the old village chief might be nervous and say the wrong thing.

However, although the old village chief is honest and honest, he has always been strict with Lin Yun's orders.

When Ma Ji heard about this output, his complexion became a little ugly.

While scolding Lin Yun for being stingy in his heart, he also quietly mentioned it in his heart.

You don't need to ask him to know that Lin Yun must have concealed the report. This is a serious crime. Once the government finds out the truth, I am afraid that the entire Niubei Village will lose its head.

The imperial court is very sensitive to food, especially this year when there are many famines, and food is an urgently needed material that is in short supply.

Sure enough, Qiu Guangri glared and said, "12 catties? Why is it so little? I heard that Niubei Village has reclaimed more than 1000 mu of land this year! Lin Yun, do you know that concealing the output from the court is a serious crime?" ! It is going to implicate the nine clans!"

Qiu Guangri knew that these words could not frighten Lin Yun, and he said that in order to wash away his responsibility.

After all, every word he said now was asking for the imperial envoy.

Lin Yun smiled wryly: "Even if the adults really want the heads of the grass people, the grass people don't have any extra food!"

Jiang Lin Yun was so stubborn that Qiu Guangri was completely speechless. He turned around and bowed to the imperial envoy, "Master Cui, look at this trouble! I thought that the output of Niubei Village this year would be enough to provide disaster relief for Haocheng..."

"Okay! Don't blame Lord Qiu for this matter!" The imperial envoy interrupted with a wave of his hand, stepped forward to help Lin Yun who was bowing, and said with a smile, "Your name is Lin Yun, right?"

Lin Yun showed a simple smile on purpose, and said, "Yes, my lord imperial envoy!"

"Well, my name is Cui Mingchong, and I am the Minister of the Imperial Household Department. This time, I was ordered by the emperor to serve as an imperial envoy, mainly for the disaster relief in Haocheng!"

Cui Mingchong had a benevolent face and a bright smile.

Lin Yun raised his eyebrows slightly, not understanding why he had to declare himself.

"The grass-roots people already know the purpose of Master Cui's visit this time, but the land in Niubei Village is barren, and it took a lot of effort for the grass-roots people to force Niubei Village to grow grain. Although there is a thousand acres of arable land, the yield is very low How pitiful! I hope Master Cui can understand!"

"Well, I understand your difficulties! You have made great achievements in leading Niubei Village out of poverty and becoming rich! When I return to the court and return to my command, I will definitely report everything to the Holy One!"

Lin Yun cursed inwardly.

Cui Mingchong seemed to be praising himself, but he was actually threatening him.

If you refuse to pay the food honestly, you must report it to the emperor.

When Ma Ji and Qiu Guangri heard these words, they also had hidden ghosts.

Ma Ji naturally hopes that Lin Yun will get better and better so that he can earn more and more.

But Qiu Guangri's thoughts were complicated. He hoped that Lin Yun could persevere for a while, and also hoped that he would be convicted this time.

He was sure that Lin Yun must have lied, and he still deliberately opposed him.

The day before yesterday, he had sent someone to communicate that he was going to help Niubei Village harvest the grain, but that night, Lin Yun arranged for the villagers to harvest the grain, obviously because he didn't want to get his hands on it.

This is absolutely unacceptable to him.

If Lin Yun is brought to justice by the imperial envoy this time, as the Governor of Yucheng Mansion, he can occupy Niubei Village openly and aboveboard. As long as he can continue to grow grain, he will be able to create a steady stream of wealth in the future.

But Lin Yun pretended not to hear what Cui Mingchong meant, and bowed and said, "Thank you, Mr. Cui! Everything the grass people do is just to let the people of Niubei Village live a better life, and they never thought of paying back!"

"Well... I understand! Alright! Mr. Lin, can you take me to visit the granary?"

Lin Yun nodded quickly, turned to look at the old village chief, and said, "Quick, lead the way!"

The old village chief hurriedly agreed, and trotted towards the granary in the village.

Back then, he obeyed Lin Yun's order and built two granaries, one at the east end of the village and the other at the north end of the village.

As for the original cellar, it has now become Lin Yun's gunpowder depot, and all the ammunition produced in the past six months is stored in it.

Looking at it this way, the supplies Lin Yun currently has in his hands are definitely an astronomical sum.

Lin Yun followed along and led the way, while Qiu Guangri and Cui Mingchong swaggered in the center.

Looking at the dilapidated houses in Niubei Village, the two court officials felt a little uncomfortable.

Especially Qiu Guangri, as the Governor of Yucheng, he is naturally the most responsible for the miserable lives of the people under his jurisdiction.

However, whether it was Qiu Guangri or Cui Mingchong, it was as if they were blind at the moment, unable to see the surrounding environment at all.

It seemed that their eyes could see nothing but food.

Soon, everyone came to the granary at the east end of the village.

Lin Yun guided from the side, quietly appeared next to the old village chief, and said in a low voice, "There will be no mistakes, right?"

"Don't worry, son!"

The old village head replied.

After getting his assurance, Lin Yun finally let go of his heart, and enthusiastically came to the entrance of the granary.
