Rich and powerful

On the side, the old village head looked at Lin Yun and Ma Ji talking and laughing, feeling a lot of emotion in his heart.

This is the way to do big business, and there are thousands of taels of silver for a random cooperation.

However, in his opinion, the richer Lin Yun is, the greater the benefits to Niubei Village.

What's more, the crops have gradually grown, and in a few months, it will be the day of harvest.

This was the first bumper harvest in Niubei Village, and the old village head, including the entire Niubei Village villagers, were very happy.

Lin Yun put away the banknotes, hugged Ma Ji's shoulders, and said with a smile, "Mr. Ma hasn't had dinner yet, right? I'll stay tonight, let's have a few drinks!"

"Mr. Lin, I came here secretly tonight, so I have to go back immediately. If Lord Fu Yin finds out, I will be finished!"

Ma Ji is still too courageous now.

Lin Yun smiled slightly, and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Ma! Even you can be lazy and do your private affairs during this period of time, so the Lord Fu Yin must be the same. You can rest assured to stay and have a few drinks with me, and I promise not to delay you Business!"

"Since Mr. Lin's kindness is hard to refuse, then the lower officials will bother you!"

Ma Ji clasped his fists and smiled.

In fact, he knew that what Lin Yun said made sense.

It's just that he was guilty of being a thief this time, so he was afraid.

After all, he was making money under the eyes of Mr. Fu Yin. If this was discovered, it would really be a bad thing.

Lin Yun brought Ma Ji to the main hall, and immediately shouted: "Wuyue, quickly prepare the food and drink, I want to have a few drinks with Mr. Ma!!"

Lin Wuyue came out of the kitchen and said with a smile: "The food will be ready soon!! Manager Ma is here at the right time!"

Ma Ji smiled awkwardly, and said: "Let Da Furen worry about it!"

At this time, Ye Wanqing and Wu Na also came, but the two women sat together and did not interrupt, but listened to Lin Yun's conversation.

Lin Yun asked: "Boss Ma, I heard from Wu Na that the imperial envoy sent by the imperial court is to investigate the disaster victims in Haocheng?"

As soon as this matter was mentioned, Ma Ji sighed and said, "Don't mention it! The Governor of Haocheng is afraid that it will be the end this time!"

Lin Yun asked curiously: "What's going on? Isn't Haocheng a big grain producer in Fengyang County? How could people starve to death?"

"Hmph, Haocheng is indeed producing genuine grain, but in order to fill his own pockets, the governor of Haocheng government forcibly took away all the grain from the common people at a low price last year! And then sold it to other counties, he made a lot of money. ! But the people will suffer!"

"Especially because of the serious drought this year, Haocheng's food this year may not be enough for takeaway, even if it is kept for myself!"

Ma Ji was talking endlessly, and suddenly remembered that on the way he came, he saw that the crops planted in Niubei Village had grown to the height of a person.

Surprised and said: "Mr. Lin, you are really a god! This year, there are many droughts in Fengyang County! The crops have been dried up alive! Your Niubei Village is supposed to be the most barren land, but how come it grows so well? good?"

Lin Yun and the two wives smiled slightly.

During the period when Ma Ji was not here, if it weren't for the support of this large area of ​​crops, Lin Yun's family of four would have been unable to survive.

Even Lin Yun couldn't guarantee whether Ma Ji could bring money this time.

Only with this piece of crops, Lin Yun can guarantee that he will not starve to death in the future.

And Lin Yun thought about going out to suppress the bandits a few days ago, so he could get some money anyway.

Lin Yun coughed lightly and said, "I'm relieved to hear what Boss Ma said! It seems that even if we sell grain this year, we can make a lot of money!"

Ma Ji nodded and said: "Yes! Grain is the most valuable now. If Mr. Lin really opens a warehouse to release grain, he will definitely make a lot of money! However, according to the grain collection regulations issued by the Yucheng Mansion, Mr. Lin Pay priority to the Yucheng Mansion!"

Lin Yun couldn't help frowning, and said, "How much food do you need to pay? Do you know?"

"The proportion of grain received is [-]% of the total output. This is mandatory! Of course, the Yucheng government will also pay tribute to the Lin family, and the Lin family will collect grain from various places, and then give a certain percentage to Da Duan. God Dynasty!"

Lin Yun suddenly realized that he finally understood the way in it.

"So, if the total output of my Niubei Village is 1000 million catties this year, we must first pay tribute with 200 million catties of grain?"

"That's right! Mr. Lin, don't be reluctant! This payment is a good thing. In order to encourage farmers to pay more, the imperial court will reward the villages that pay more, just like Niubei Village. If the payment is full, you can enjoy some special treatment. The performance is particularly good, and you can even step into an official career!"

Lin Yun's eyes lit up, and he said, "Really?"

"Of course it's true, but to meet this condition, at least the maximum amount of food must be paid for more than five years!"

As the internal affairs supervisor of Yucheng Mansion, Ma Ji naturally understood these provisions.

Seeing Lin Yun's pensive look, Ma Ji stepped forward and asked, "Young Master Lin, can you tell me, how much grain does Niubei Village produce this time?"

Lin Yun jokingly smiled and said, "Is this very important?"

"Mr. Lin, don't get me wrong! I'm just curious! What's more, we have established a certain relationship now, and I can't hurt anyone! If there is anything good, I can help you!"

Lin Yun asked rhetorically: "Before answering your question, please tell me what Lord Fu Yin thinks of my Niubei Village now!"

He was sure that such a big change in Niubei Village would definitely be noticed by Qiu Guangri.

But after such a long time, there was no reaction. Could it be that Qiu Guangri really acquiesced?
Ma Ji coughed lightly, and said: "That's right, because of the imperial envoy's visit, Mr. Fu Yin regards Niubei Village as a model village, and invited the imperial envoy to come here for inspection after a while!"

"Oh? Then why didn't you say it before?"

Ma Ji smiled wryly and said: "Mr. Lin, please don't misunderstand me! It's not that I don't say anything, but that this matter has not been officially documented, and if it is not settled, how can the lower officials talk nonsense, but even if Mr. Lin Don’t ask, the officer will definitely tell you!”

Only then did Lin Yun nod in satisfaction, and he had a plan in his mind.

The imperial envoy's visit to Niubei Village was considered an opportunity for Lin Yun.

At this time, Ye Wanqing said: "Master, it is indeed a good thing that the imperial envoys come to inspect, but I'm afraid that the autumn day will not be reassuring!"

As soon as these words came out, Ma Ji's complexion changed suddenly. He was just scared, but not angry.

Lin Yun looked at her and asked, "Why do you say that?"

"I just heard from Manager Ma that there is a famine in Haocheng. If our Niubei Village has a bumper harvest this year, Qiu Guangri will definitely do favors for his own career. He will show his favor in front of the imperial envoy and donate the food in Niubei Village to us. Haocheng!"

Ye Wanqing talked eloquently, but Lin Yun frowned.

Ma Ji also nodded, and said: "According to the thinking of the second lady, this is indeed very possible!"
