Rich and powerful

"Xiao Lao can't guarantee it, but it should be around [-] catties per mu!"

The old village chief didn't dare to tell the truth. If he really didn't meet his expectations, he would be slapped in the face.

"Good! It seems that our Niubei Village is going to have a fat year this year!"

Lin Yun smiled playfully.

The old village chief asked curiously, "Mr. Lin, have you got any good news?"

Lin Yun turned to look at him, nodded and said, "Not bad!"

After that, he told Ma Ji what he had just said about the lack of food in Haocheng and the possible visit of imperial envoys.

The old village chief gasped.

Surprised and said: "Mr. Lin, this is a great thing!! If there are imperial envoys to visit, then Niubei Village will be in its prime!"

"I can't say it's an absolutely good thing, I can only say that it's a mixed blessing!"

It was Lin Yun who had analyzed some possibilities with Ma Ji and several wives just now, that's why he was so contradictory.

"Why?"

The old village chief looked puzzled. If the imperial envoy's visit wasn't a good thing, then it really wasn't a good thing.

"Drought in many places in Fengyang County this year has led to insufficient food supply. According to the consistent performance of Mr. Fu Yin, he is afraid that he will use this year's food from my Niubei Village to help the disaster in order to maintain his official career!"

Lin Yun still expressed his worries.

As the head of Niubei Village, he is naturally qualified to know this matter.

Sure enough, when the old village chief heard the news, his complexion suddenly became ugly.

Lin Yun comforted: "So, for the sake of the long-term interests of our Niubei Village, I plan to harvest in advance. If there is 30 catties of grain produced, I will make a false report of 20 catties. In this way, we have surplus grain in our hands, and no matter what happens Panic!"

The old village head gave a thumbs up and said approvingly: "Young Master Lin is far-sighted! That's how to do it! This gang of corrupt officials has nothing good!! In addition, Young Master Lin can make arrangements, and the old man will definitely organize the villagers, even if they work overtime , but also to harvest the grain in advance, and never give them a chance to count us!"

Lin Yun nodded and said: "Okay! That's it, you always estimate the date of harvesting the wheat fields, and then start three days in advance! Remember, this matter should not be publicized!"

"Understood! Xiao Lao will go back and hold a meeting with them!"

The old village chief turned around and wanted to leave.

"Wait a moment!!"

Lin Yun's plan has not been arranged yet.

The old village chief stopped quickly.

"Mr. Lin, what other orders do you have?"

"Organize the villagers tomorrow to dig a larger cellar in the village to store grain! Remember, this cellar is used to store grain, and the location must be dry, and ventilation must be maintained! Before harvesting the wheat field , the cellar must be ready, and I will personally inspect and accept it when the time comes!"

Lin Yun has been thinking about this question just now.

But because the workload was unusually large, he was afraid that the villagers would complain.

The old village chief hesitated, nodded and said, "Okay!"

After that, turn around and leave.

Counting the time, there are still more than two months before harvesting the crops.

If you start digging the cellar tomorrow, you will never be idle for more than two months, and you will even be very tired.

Moreover, it may be necessary to harvest crops without stopping after digging the cellar.

But no matter how tired he is, he must comfort the villagers. After all, all the hard work and dedication he has made now is to lay the foundation for the future.

After Lin Yun arranged everything, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Once the task is assigned, the pressure falls on the old village head. What to do and whether it can be done well will test the old village head's organizational ability.

……

On the other side, Ma Ji brought back a hundred bottles of perfume and immediately sent someone to deliver the perfume to the homes of dignitaries.

In less than a week, he recovered 3000 taels of silver, making a net profit of 1000 taels.

1000 taels of silver a week, 4000 taels of silver a month.

This kind of earning speed is absolutely unique.

Even faster than Qiu Guangri's greed for money, Ma Ji was completely devoted to Lin Yun.

But as the saying goes, people are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong. In just one week, the perfume became popular in most of Yucheng.

Among the upper class in Yucheng, perfume has become a topic of discussion, not only loved by famous ladies and nobles, but even some women from scholarly families are also very fond of it.

What's more, they even compared the perfume to the ambergris used by the royal family.

Soon, this matter reached Qiu Guangri's ears.

One day, sitting at the desk in the study, looking at a secret letter in his hand, his face was cloudy and uncertain.

And standing opposite him is the master Chang Yufeng, and the head of internal affairs Ma Ji.

However, Chang Yufeng looked calm and breezy, and even fanned himself with a folding fan.

On the contrary, Ma Ji looked indifferent, he lowered his head slightly, looking at his nose, nose and heart, seemingly calm, but actually panicked.

"boom!"

Qiu Guangri slammed the letter paper on the table, stood up abruptly, and asked, "Do you two know how Lin Yun sold the perfume to the dignitaries and celebrities in the city?"

At the beginning, Lin Yun had mentioned to him that he wanted to sell perfume, and even at the celebration banquet that day, Lin Yun specially took out the trial packs and gave them to the officials present.

But Qiu Guangri didn't take it to heart at the time.

In his opinion, how much is a small bottle of perfume worth?

But looking at the information on the letter paper, a bottle of perfume that is only the size of a thumb can be sold for a sky-high price of 30 taels of silver, and even a hundred bottles were sold.

In other words, in Yucheng today, one-third of the family members of dignitaries and celebrities have bought this perfume!

Chang Yufeng smiled lightly and said: "My lord, why should you be so angry! Lin Yun is just speculating and making some quick money! It's hard to be elegant! Moreover, I am a great scholar, and I am divided into four levels: scholar, farmer, businessman, Since Lin Yun has surrendered his status and is willing to be a merchant, let him go!"

Qiu Guangri snorted coldly, and said worriedly: "If he doesn't have such big ambitions, I won't worry about it! I'm afraid that he will secretly use perfume as a lure to form a party for personal gain in the name of doing business! That would be a big threat! "

Qiu Guangri's ability to say such words proves that he is sensitive enough to see deeper problems.

Chang Yufeng also froze his smile and frowned secretly.

At this time, Ma Ji, who had been silent all this time, clasped his fists and said: "My lord, Lin Yun's ambition has long been exposed. As the saying goes, it is easy to hide a hidden arrow, but it is difficult to defend against it. As long as everything is on the bright side, it proves that Lin Yun did not want to hide it." What do you mean! Since the adults see it all, how can you threaten it?"

He had to say good things for Lin Yun, after all, he was the one who caused all this.

If it really broke the perfume business, it would be tantamount to digging its own grave.

How could Ma Ji do such a stupid thing, besides, he has not earned enough money yet!

Chang Yufeng nodded and said: "Boss Ma is right, my lord, this Lin Yun is a talent, we must win over, even if we want to suppress it, it is definitely not now! Don't forget, we have already agreed with the imperial envoy to go to Niubei Village Inspection!"
