Yang Lin Li Yuyao works

Chapter 54 I, Yang Lin, Will Never Be a Traitor

    

Am I the only one"When Yang Lin arrived at the village entrance with high expectations, he was stunned to find that he was the only one there.Even the government giving out wives as a benefit, it's su..."Coal"

Li Yuyao curiously looked at the black stone.

"Can this black stone really be used to start a fire"

She looked at Yang Lin.

This was her first time hearing the strange name "coal".

The rest of them all looked curious.

"Yes! I can build a fire!"

Yang Lin was very excited.

He could be sure, this was coal! And the luster was high, the quality was quite good too.

In Yang Lin's original memory, there was no such thing as coal in this world.

It's not that it doesn't exist, it's just that coal mines are generally located deep underground. Currently, Dagan also lacks mature mining technology, so no one knows about it, let alone its applications.

But the fact that bandits could get their hands on coal blocks suggests that there's a very high probability of an open-pit coal mine nearby!

As an engineer, Yang Lin understood the importance of coal too well!

Coal is the downstream product of the steel industry and the source of industry.

He hasn't even managed to produce anything worthwhile from his forge. After all this time, he's only succeeded in hammering out some wrought iron.

If you want to smelt steel, the temperature is not up to standard. The most important reason is that there is no coal.

"Where did you find it" Yang Lin asked hurriedly.

“Oh, it was found on a bandit. I thought it was strange how anyone would carry stones. He said this black stone could leave black lines on other stones, and they used them as markers and to start fires,” Zhong Tao said.

"Hurry, go and have a look!"

Yang Lin quickly led people to find the bandit and inquired about the coal.

Seeing Yang Lin care so much about this black stone, the bandit also unleashed his instinct to survive and told everything he knew about it in detail.

After hearing the bandit's account, Yang Lin was even more delighted!

These bandits came from Old Black Mountain, twenty miles away.

Mount Lao Hei shan, as its name suggests, is a black stone mountain. However, it's not entirely composed of coal.

According to him, most of the mountain is made up of black stones that cannot be burned. And these burnable black stones are only found in a valley at the back of the mountain slope, and they are everywhere!

"You don't have to die."

Yang Lin let out a long sigh and said.

According to the bandit's description, it really was an open-pit coal mine.

Open-pit coal mines are a blessing from heaven.

The bandits were overjoyed, as if they had been pardoned!

However, Zhong Tao and others did not understand.

Isn't it just a kind of stone that can be burned There are plenty of trees on the mountains. Even if the stones can be used to start a fire, they're just stones. Could they possibly be as good as wood for burning

"Elder Zhong, leave five people here to guard them. You take the others to the back mountain and call everyone back!"

"Get everyone here, I have something important to tell you all!" Yang Lin said seriously.

Zhong Tao hurried away.

After more than half an hour, the villagers finally returned cautiously.

As more and more people gathered at Yang Lin's doorstep, they were all taken aback when they saw the bandits tied to the trees in the distance.

When they first heard that Yang Lin had captured the bandits, they didn't believe it.

Who wouldn't be astonished by what they see with their own eyes right now

That's a bandit! In the past, we would have run away as fast as we could when we saw them, but now they've been captured alive

At this moment, the villagers looked at Yang Lin with admiration in their eyes, in addition to gratitude.

"Oh my!"

Zhao Fuguai ran over from afar, his eyes widening when he saw the scene before him.

"You actually took down the bandits"

Zhao Fugui swallowed hard. He really couldn't imagine how Yang Lin did it.

Wang Tiezhu also found his father and told him what happened.

Old Wang, after hearing this, immediately kicked Tiezhu twice, his eyes filled with tears as he scolded: "You child, how can you be so careless! Is the chicken more important, or your life"

After scolding him, Old Wang hurriedly led Tie Zhu to kowtow to Yang Lin.

"Tie Zhu, your life was given to you by Yang Lin, quickly kowtow to your benefactor!"

Tie Zhu didn't hesitate, he rushed forward and pounded Yang Lin repeatedly, his head turning red from the blows.

"Yang Lin, thanks to you, from now on, this old Wang's life is yours!" Old Wang choked up and said.

They are all country folk and aren't good at expressing themselves, but every word they say comes from the heart.

"Uncle Wang, please don't be so polite. We are neighbors and friends. How could I just stand by when something like this happens"

Having propped up the iron pillar, Yang Lin saw that most of the villagers had arrived. He climbed onto a large rock and, with the villagers' curious eyes upon him, cleared his throat.

"I believe everyone knows that there have been quite a few things happening these two days."

The day before yesterday my tofu shop was smashed, yesterday Liu's family sent people to kill me, and today there are bandits coming... It's really one misfortune after another!

"However, I'm happy to announce some good news!"

"I guarantee that everyone who hears this will be happy!"

Yang Lin smiled and looked at the villagers.

Everyone stared blankly at Yang Lin. They couldn't imagine what good could possibly come of this.

"The first thing is, Liu the landlord's deeds are all in my hands now!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the originally quiet villagers were instantly in an uproar.

Everyone stared in shock at Yang Lin.

Though I don't know how Liu the Landlord's land ended up in Yang Lin's hands, but if this is true, it means one thing!

The new landlords of Kaoshantun Village have emerged!

A flicker of fear now appeared in everyone's eyes as they looked at Yang Lin.

Yang Lin smiled faintly: "Aren't you all thinking that I, Yang Lin, am going to become the local tycoon"

"No!"

"Today, in front of everyone, I Yang Lin can clearly tell you all, I am not the one who acts as the host!"

"I, Yang Lin, have a way to make money and I will never drain everyone's blood!"

"So, these lands, I'm going to divide among you all!"

As soon as he said that, the women behind Yang Lin stared at him in disbelief, dumbfounded.

Where are you from

That's over two thousand acres! Worth several thousand taels of silver!

The villagers were also completely shocked.

Especially those who sold their land and could only work as tenant farmers on the landlord's land, their eyes were now filled with tears.

Unless desperate, who would sell land

And once the land is sold, not only will this generation be lost, but also all future generations will forever be without hope!

As for getting back their own land

Nobody would have dared to imagine it!

A piece of land sold to the landlord for one or two silver coins, would cost at least five or ten coins to buy back.

They could become tenant farmers, working for landlords and struggling to even eat, let alone save enough money to buy back their land.

As for the method of division, it's very simple. The land originally belonging to someone will be returned to that person's family.

Of course, I can't give this place away for free.

"When you sold it to Landlord Liu, how much did you sell it for Just redeem it for that amount."

"If you don't have money, you can work to pay off your debts."

"From today onwards, the fields are yours!"

From now on, you don't have to pay rent or taxes. All the harvest belongs to you!

After Yang Lin finished speaking, the villagers were once again in an uproar.blocks of tofu, 300 catties of bean curd, and sold ten buckets of medicinal water. The tofu skin has been successfully made, and the fermented bean paste and soy sauce are still in the brewing proces...
