Rich and powerful

At this time, the old village head said: "Young master Lin, you came to us for a heart-to-heart talk, right?"

Lin Yun stood up on the slope, and said in a deep voice: "Of course not! I have been observing the wheat field for the past few days, and the wheat has already matured! So, I called you here this time to inform everyone that the harvest will start from now on , Mobilize the power of the whole village, let everyone temporarily put down the work in hand, and harvest all the food as soon as possible!"

The eyes of the old village chief and the villagers brightened. They had been waiting for this day for half a year.

But I didn't expect it to come so suddenly.

The old village chief was surprised: "Is this too urgent? It will be dark in less than an hour! Why don't you wait until tomorrow to harvest?"

The villagers also nodded in agreement.

"No! What I'm waiting for is darkness! Tonight, the whole village will be mobilized, even the old, the weak, the sick, and the disabled must come out to harvest, and all the crops will be harvested before dawn!"

Lin Yun had already thought of a countermeasure, especially this morning, when the governor Qiu Guangri sent someone to ask if he wanted to arrange the officers and soldiers of Yucheng Mansion to help harvest, but he politely refused.

In fact, Lin Yun understood what Qiu Guangri meant.

Coming to help harvest is only one aspect. The most important thing is to know how much Niubei Village has produced this year.

But this is a major event related to the future fate of Niubei Village, how could Lin Yun reveal it?

No matter what, he had to keep a surplus of food. Lin Yun would be most secure only if the rice bowl was in his own hands, and if he wanted to earn more money in the future, it would be easy to operate with a surplus of food.

If Qiu Guangri knew the specific output, he would definitely arrange a plan to plot against Lin Yun.

The old village chief said bitterly: "Mr. Lin, we have planted more than 1000 mu of land this year, and it is absolutely impossible to harvest it overnight!"

This time, the old village chief firmly denied that harvesting grain was purely physical work. Even a young and middle-aged man could harvest at most two acres of land a day.

And several villagers were also surprised. If they harvested a thousand acres of land in one night, everyone would be too tired to climb the kang the next day.

"Old village chief, I know there are difficulties, but no matter how difficult it is, it must be completed! Let me tell you the truth, the grain in our Niubei Village has been targeted by the Yucheng government! After the harvest is finished tonight, the Yucheng government will send people Come on, they don't even know how much grain we have produced! If they know the actual production, Niubei Village will be exploited by the Yucheng Mansion every year in the future!"

"So, just take care of yourself!"

Lin Yun knew well that it must be extremely difficult to harvest a thousand mu of land in one night. If calculated by head count, the old, the weak, the sick, and the disabled would definitely not be able to finish it.

But right now is the critical moment when Niubei Village is racing against time, and they can only win but not lose.

The faces of the old village chief and several villagers changed drastically.

"They are really deceiving people!!"

The old village chief complained.

The villagers also echoed.

Lin Yun smiled wryly and said: "It's useless to say these things now! Success or failure depends on one stroke. Whether Niubei Village can break through a sunny pass depends on tonight!"

The old village chief turned around and discussed in a low voice with several villagers, and finally said in a deep voice: "Okay! Even if you are exhausted tonight, you must finish harvesting, and we will never give them a chance!"

Lin Yun nodded and said: "That's it, I'll trouble you to mobilize the villagers! Our family of four will also participate in the harvest tonight, and we will never engage in special treatment!"

Only then did the old village chief take a few villagers away.

When Lin Yun returned to the village, he saw all the villagers gathered at the entrance of the village, and the old village head was lobbying impassionedly.

Although the villagers all looked reluctant, they were all as if they had been beaten to death when they learned that the Yucheng Mansion wanted to exploit the food they worked so hard to grow.

For a while, morale was high, and everyone was motivated.

At this moment, Ye Wanqing came over and asked, "Sir, are you sure you want to do this?"

Lin Yun glanced at her and said, "Is there a better way?"

Ye Wanqing was suddenly at a loss for words.

But Lin Wuyue and Wu Na had no objections.

Lin Wuyue was originally from a farming family. In the past, when the farming was busy, she would harvest crops with her family.

Oona used to be a barbarian soldier, not to mention working hard.

When the villagers saw Lin Yun approaching, they all hurried out of the way.

Lin Yun came to the old village chief, glanced at the villagers, and said loudly: "Everyone, food is the lifeblood of our Niubei Village, and no external forces are allowed to get involved. Even if we want to sell food in the future, The initiative must also be in our hands!"

"I know everyone has worked hard these past two months! I, Lin Yun, have noticed it all, and I sincerely thank you for your cooperation! Therefore, to harvest grain tonight, each person must harvest at least two acres of land. Request, I, Lin Yun, will reward each person with one tael of silver in my own name, if anyone can harvest more than two mu of land, for every additional mu, I will reward one tael of silver more, and so on!"

Lin Yun is a time traveler, and he can speak at this kind of gathering to mobilize people's hearts.

He knows that no matter in any era, as long as there is money, there is no problem that cannot be solved.

Sure enough, the enthusiasm of the villagers who had already been mobilized became even louder after hearing what Lin Yun said.

"Master Lin, don't worry!!"

"Yes, even if Young Master Lin doesn't reward you with money, we will definitely complete the task!"

Everyone was chattering, as if they regarded money as dung.

Lin Yun smiled gratifiedly and was very satisfied with everyone's reactions.

But Ye Wanqing and Wu Na slandered in their hearts.

Secretly scolding these guys for hypocrisy, they are all greedy for money, but they still say these high-sounding words.

At this time, seeing that the time was ripe, the old village chief looked at Lin Yun and said loudly, "Okay, let's start now!"

Afterwards, the whole village, old and young, went into battle and began to formally harvest.

Naturally, the four members of Lin Yun's family were also busy.

Ye Wanqing was holding a sickle, and while working, she said in a low voice: "My lord, you don't even need to raise money, so what's wrong with so much money?"

"That's right, it's not worth the money!"

Oona also complained.

Lin Yun cut off a handful of ears of wheat and felt back pain. He beat his back and said with a wry smile, "It doesn't matter if you spend some money, but this is the first bumper harvest. It must boost morale. If the Yucheng government takes the opportunity to seize If the food is gone, everyone will not be able to earn money and eat food, so who will bother to farm in the future?"

Both women pursed their lips, completely ignoring Lin Yun's words.

Lin Wuyue, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said: "Second sister and third sister, Mr. Xianggong is right. You have never farmed a field, and you have never experienced the hardships of farming! If you have been busy for half a year and there is no harvest, why do farmers have to work hard?" What's more, food is the lifeblood of the Daduan Dynasty, and it is a material that no human force dare to ignore!"
