Chapter 118: I can't let go, truly I can't
became increasingly excited as she spoke.And when Ziyi and Qingyi heard all this, they were both dumbfounded.No wonder the village nestled in the mountains is so unique!It's no wonder the Emperor wou...After being beaten, Liu Liang and Liu Chong finally escaped from the county magistrate's office under the protection of servants.
"It's the opposite, it's really the opposite!"
Liu Chongqi's beard was trembling with rage.
As the head of the Liu family in Juncheng, he could turn his hand to clouds and his other hand to rain even in Pingyuan County. But now that he's arrived in the tiny Jianghe County, he's been met with setbacks everywhere, even those lowly clerks dared to lay hands on him He couldn't even see Zhao Deyi!
"Fourth Master, what should we do now"
Liu Liang was also completely dumbfounded.
Liu Chong said with a cold face: "Hmph, even without relying on these officials, this old man can get things done! Come, let's go to your Mount Relying Village!"
"Okay."
Liu Liang quickly responded.
He believed everything the Fourth Master said, because he knew that although the Fourth Master only brought a dozen servants with him, there was a very skilled expert among them who could easily fend off a dozen ordinary people.
Then, as long as this expert catches Yang Lin, wouldn't Yang Lin obediently surrender
……
Yang Lin, after more than two hours of travel, finally returned to Kaoshn Village.
Before the main force even entered the village, they saw a number of villagers waiting at the village entrance. Upon seeing the large group return, they all cheered with joy.
At the village entrance, Yang Lin had his men unload the grain from the carriage.
"Kong Liang, you take people to distribute this evenly, four dou of rice per household."
"Alright!"
Kong Liang obeyed and led the people to distribute the grain.
The villagers had been worried about Yang Lin and the others, but now that everyone was back safe and sound, and they were even distributing grain as soon as they returned to the village, everyone let out a sigh of relief and became even more excited.
Following the villagers into town, they were all overjoyed to see their families. They excitedly shared stories and experiences from their journey with loved ones.
"Father, do you guess how much silver the master gave me this trip to the county town"
Although Kong Liang was already the squad leader of the bodyguard team, he was after all just a boy of seventeen or eighteen. After distributing the food, he excitedly found his father and proudly showed off.
Kong Liang's father was taken aback, his eyes widened in surprise as he exclaimed, "Could it be that the master really gave ten taels of silver"
When Yang Lin left the village, he had already publicly promised that each member of the escort team would receive ten taels of silver for this trip.
All of them are poor commoners, naturally clear on this: these ten taels of silver, although much, are hard-earned money!
And now, everyone is fine, not even a scratch. How could the host possibly give so much
Kǒng Liàng let out a sly smile. "Father, you wouldn't guess! The master gave each of us an extra five taels. And the master said I performed well, so he specially rewarded me with another five taels. So this trip, my son earned a total of twenty taels of silver!"
Kong Liang was so happy that the corners of his mouth almost reached his ears.
"What"
Kong Liang's father, upon hearing this, widened his eyes: "Twenty taels My goodness! So much silver! Liang, this is too much silver. Why don't you return some to the master We only need ten taels, which is plenty!"
All they are are poor people, who has ever seen so much silver To have earned so much money all at once, holding it doesn't feel real!
"Father, Brother Lin said that the silver he sent out cannot be returned. Besides, you don't know, our master is rich now! He extorted several carts of silver from the Zhou and Zhao families! You see those in the back carriages That's all silver!"
Kong Liang's father immediately scowled: "No matter how much silver there is, it belongs to the master's. You can't have any foolish thoughts about it!"
"I know, I know, I know."
Kǒng Liàng impatiently said, "Father, rest assured. I understand. The master treats us well, so we'll just take what we deserve. No matter how much the master earns, that's his skill. Besides, haven't you noticed that life in our village has gotten better now Look at all these carts full of grain; it's all white rice!"
"Yeah!"
Kong Liang's father looked at the line of people receiving rations, his eyes already red with emotion.
White rice! That's food they wouldn't even afford to eat during the New Year. Now, they've pulled back so many trucks at once, and each household gets enough grain that they probably won't finish it in a month!
Time really has changed!
Every person's face is beaming with a happy smile.
On Yang Lin's side, accompanied by Li Yunyao, Ziyi, Qingyi, and several carts of silver, when they returned home in a hurry, the second sister, Xiaoqi, Xiao eight, and Xiao nine who rushed out suddenly were a little confused.
Because someone had previously sent word that Yang Lin was safe, all attention was now focused on the carriage.
"What's this"
Xiaojiu had a bad feeling.
"Silver!" Yang Lin said with a smile.
The curtains parted, revealing a multitude of large wooden chests, more numerous than those transported back from Black Wind Mountain last time.
Xiao Jiu's face instantly changed.
"Brother, I can't take it anymore! I really can't!"
Last time, the over thirteen thousand taels of silver had almost filled the warehouse. Yang Lin had finally spent half of it.
Just a few days later, and even more silver has arrived!
Yang Lin also had a headache.
This old house is not only unsafe, but the space is also small. It can't even fit his silver, and he's had enough of it.
How is the progress on the new house
Yang Lin looked at his second sister and asked.
Because his new house uses a brick and concrete structure, and cement production was relatively low before, the progress is very slow. It wasn't until a few days ago that the foundation was finished.
Erjie hurriedly said, "I went to have a look this morning, they've already started laying the bricks. Uncle Dazhuang said that in at most ten days, they can put up the beams."
The next step is to put on the roof, which means the house is basically finished.
But Yang Lin knew that their new house, topping out wasn't the end.
Because Yang Lin placed particular emphasis on safety, he designed two basements, two secret passages, towering walls surrounding his new house, and several watchtowers!
Besides, he also wanted to dig a moat and divert water outside the house to create a miniature moat. So the new house is still far from completion.
Let's build the house inside first.
Yang Lin said helplessly.
After Sanjie and Simei left, the room became a little more spacious. It was barely enough to fit all this silver.
The women were also helpless.
There's so much silver, it's overflowing… What kind of crazy thing is this!
Yang Lin, after dealing with the silver at home, hurried to the design studio. He was going to discuss a big matter with Du Jing!
During his two days in the county town, he discovered an important issue.
Although the Great Qin Dynasty also had silver notes, their usage rate was not high. As a result, large-scale transactions were very inconvenient.
There are roughly two reasons why this kind of problem would occur.
One is that the pawnshop's reputation is not good, it has not formed a large-scale pawnshop, and there have even been cases of pawnshops running away with silver.
Secondly, banknotes are easy to counterfeit, and both money changers and customers are vulnerable to losses.
As a result, the money-lending business suffered, and promissory notes failed to circulate.
But this was a bold opportunity that Yang Lin saw!
Paper money!
that's printing money!!!fused to help when he heard Yang Lin's name...At this moment, Liu Liang was truly scared.Yang Lin even dared to kill Zhao Xian, the county magistrate. If he were angered..."Mother, what should we do n...
