Rich and powerful

His biggest wish now is to make money, and whether he becomes an official or not is secondary.

At this time, Ma Ji asked curiously: "Young master Lin, there are no outsiders now, tell me honestly, how much food did you deduct this time?"

The old village chief on the side knew about it a long time ago, but he also looked expectantly, looking at Lin Yun.

Lin Yun jokingly smiled, tilted his head and said, "Guess!"

"Hmph, don't let me keep guessing! I've been guessing all day today! However, Mr. Lin is really daring! You deceive the imperial envoy, which is tantamount to deceiving the emperor! Once you are found out, it will bring disaster to everyone!"

"I know! But as the saying goes, a small amount is not a gentleman, a man is not a poison, and he is not a husband! I, Lin Yun, have worked so hard to let Niubei Village grow food. How can I hand over all of it to the court? Besides, if I do this, I will not be a husband! I'm sorry for the more than 500 people in Niubei Village!"

Hearing Lin Yun's words, the old village head was moved with tears in his eyes.

In his opinion, Lin Yun always thinks about the interests of Niubei Village. It is definitely the greatest blessing for him to have such a lord who leads the village.

Ma Ji rolled his eyes and said, "How much is it?"

Lin Yun looked at the old village chief and said with a smile, "You always tell Mr. Ma how much it is!"

The old village chief nodded and said, "This year, the total cultivated land is more than 1000 mu, and a total of 31 jin of grain has been produced!"

"hiss!!"

Rao Ma Ji was mentally prepared, but he was still quite frightened by this number.

"Mr. Lin, you... you are so crazy! Are you sure it is 31 catties? Not 21 catties?"

He also estimated in his heart that the barren land of Niubei Village can grow 20 catties of grain, which is quite powerful.

31 catties of grain was beyond his imagination.

Lin Yun proudly said, "If I'm going to lie to Manager Ma, why should I say more?"

Ma Ji stared at him with a complicated expression, babbled and babbled, trying to say something, but finally couldn't say it.

"So, Mr. Lin still has 19 catties of grain in his hands? No, the two adults only took away 21 catties, leaving [-] catties of grain, and you still have [-] catties!!"

Ma Ji has been somewhat incoherent.

I can't even speak clearly.

Lin Yun just nodded with a smile.

Ma Ji fell into silence. After a long time, he calmed down and asked, "Young Master Lin, what do you plan to do with so much food?"

Lin Yun got up and went around the desk, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "I took a huge risk to stockpile grain, so naturally I wanted to sell it for money! How about it? Is Manager Ma interested?"

Ma Ji's eyes lit up, and he said, "Is there still my share?"

"Of course, I, Lin Yun, have never been stingy! If you have money, you can earn it together! As long as Mr. Ma can provide sales and help with transportation, I will definitely not treat you badly if I get the money at that time!"

Lin Yun had no choice but to say so.

With his current ability, it is impossible to transport the food away without anyone noticing.

Ma Ji was overjoyed in his heart. He slapped the table, stood up, and said with bright eyes: "Okay! Mr. Lin is right, a small amount is not a gentleman, a non-poisonous man, starving to death the timid and supporting the bold, for our sake In the future, it is worth fighting once!!"

On the side, seeing Lin Yun and Ma Ji's eyes shining, the old village chief couldn't help but shook his head with a wry smile.

This is really crazy.

Lied to the imperial envoy, and stored up 21 catties of grain. If this kind of thing gets out, it will definitely shock the government and the public.

I'm afraid that even a first-rank official who is in charge of money, food, land and taxation like the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs would not dare to be so crazy.

Lin Yun nodded and said: "Mr. Ma, don't worry too much. The business we're doing this time is a mind-boggling deal. We have to think long-term! You should screen out the customers first, and if there are no safety issues, send someone to negotiate first. After the negotiation is completed, discuss the transportation The route! Waiting until the end is the key to getting food!"

Hearing that it was so complicated, Ma Ji bitterly said, "Mr. Lin, you mean that what we are going to do next is smuggling business?"

"Not bad!"

"This...isn't right! Smuggling needs a safe route, but today's Yucheng Mansion has no robbers for thousands of miles, and it has become extremely safe. In this situation, it is even more inconvenient to smuggle! It is easy to be discovered by Yucheng Mansion!"

Lin Yun smiled and said: "It's okay! We can create whatever we need! Can a living person be suffocated by urine? Besides, smuggling can maximize the benefits! Remember, our customers must be in areas with extreme food shortages! And , resolutely do not deal with the government, no matter how high the price the other party offers, it cannot be sold!"

Lin Yun had already considered clearly that selling to an official would easily lead to problems. Once caught by fishing, the other party would be able to find Niubei Village by following the clues.

But if you only deal with those shady underground black markets, everything will be simple.

Ma Ji said meaningfully: "Then what Mr. Lin meant...couldn't it be to train a group of robbers?"

"Brother Ma is the one who knows me!"

Lin Yun grinned.

Ma Ji was completely speechless.

He is convinced now that Lin Yun will do anything to make money, as long as he can achieve his goal, there is no bottom line at all.

"What Mr. Lin said made the lower official's heart flutter! But in practice, every step is extremely difficult!"

Ma Ji also told the truth that it was very difficult to open up a smuggling route in Niubei Village.

Although Qiu Guangri is a corrupt official, he has a strong desire to control, and he absolutely does not allow such uncontrollable factors to appear in the area under his jurisdiction.

"Besides, Mr. Lin thinks Mr. Fu Yin is too low? The specific output of Niubei Village can be hidden for a while, but it can't be hidden forever! Sooner or later, Mr. Fu Yin will know!"

After thinking about it, Ma Jisi still expressed his thoughts.

Lin Yun nodded and said, "Then what does Manager Ma mean?"

"The biggest risk of smuggling grain is transportation! Especially hundreds of thousands of catties of grain, it is absolutely impossible not to be noticed by the Yucheng Mansion!"

"That's why, I think, Mr. Lin can negotiate with Mr. Fu Yin alone! As far as I know, Mr. Fu Yin is only interested in profit. As long as it is beneficial and safe enough, he is absolutely willing to participate!"

"What's more, we are only facing the difficulty of Yucheng Mansion now! Mr. Lin, don't forget that Yucheng Mansion is only a corner of the entire Fengyang County! If you want to smuggle to the fiefs of other feudal lords, you will definitely be noticed by the Lin family! "

What Ma Ji said made sense, Lin Yun couldn't help but frown and said: "Boss Ma is right, it seems that I am too optimistic!"

"So if Mr. Lin wants to earn money for food, he must never bypass Mr. Fuyin! This official is willing to give [-]% of his own share to Mr. Fuyin as a benefit! To facilitate this matter!"

Ma Ji seems to be generous, but in fact he knows better than anyone else that the price of 20 catties of grain is absolutely astronomical.
