s" just like paying taxes to the court.The six surrounding towns and dozens of villages yield thousands of taels of silver in protection money every season!Therefore, Hekou Mountain could plunder thou...Suddenly, all eyes were on Liu Liang.
Upon seeing everyone, Liu Liang was once again frightened out of his wits.
"Yang Lin, don't kill me..."
"I was wrong, for Qiao Yun's sake, please let me go!"
Liu Liang was sobbing and trembling with fear.
After Yang Lin's speech, the villagers were filled with vigor, but he felt anxious and uneasy.
Liu Chong, who was brought from Jun City by himself, said he would kill if he had to!
What about himself He had offended Yang Lin more than once. Would Yang Lin let him go now
Yang Lin walked over.
Liu Liang then shrank back in fright.
"At first, I agreed to your father and took your family's wealth and land to ensure your family's safety!"
"I did it."
"But you…"
Were these people you invited
A cold light flashed in Yang Lin's eyes.
Liu Liang cried out in fright again.
"I was wrong, I really was wrong, Brother Lin. I'm not a human being, I'm sorry to you, please just forgive me..."
Before Liu Liang could finish speaking, Yang Lin raised his hand to signal him to be quiet.
"Just shut up, for Qiao Yun's sake, I won't kill you."
"No matter how scoundrel you are, you're still Qiao Yun's brother. I have decided to marry Qiao Yun!"
When Yang Lin's words reached Liu Liang's ears, he was overjoyed and immediately nodded.
"That's great! You married Qiao Yun, now we're a family. You, you are my brother-in-law..."
Looking at Yang Lin's cold gaze, Liu Liang's voice grew smaller and smaller until finally, even he himself could no longer hear it.
"If I kill you, Qiao Yun won't be happy. Today, I can let you go, but if you still want to play tricks behind my back..."
"Even if I don't kill you, I'll break your tendons and ligaments, cut out your tongue and ears, gouge out your eyes, and lock you in a dark room. I'll feed you just enough to keep you alive, making your life worse than death!"
Liu Liang was so scared that he trembled again and shook his head frantically.
"No, no, I dare not again."
"Mother-in-law."
Yang Lin faced Liu Zhangshi, who was equally at a loss, and tried his best to squeeze out a smile. "You know that Qiao Yun and I are in love, and I want to marry Qiao Yun. You don't have any objections, do you"
As a person, one must understand etiquette and be polite. Yang Lin felt that he was very courteous now.
Immediately, his lips stretched a little further, revealing a row of white teeth.
"No, no opinion."
Liu Zhangshi hastily waved her hand, seeing Yang Lin's smile, she was so scared that she almost cried.
"That's perfect. My house is under construction, and once it's finished, I will come to marry Qiao Yun."
After finishing his words, Yang Lin didn't waste any time. He rushed back to the back room and found Qiao Yun. He carefully checked her body to make sure she was unharmed. Then, he gave her detailed instructions before leaving.
As the world changes, even this peaceful village will likely be disrupted. Especially now that the situation is unclear, he doesn't have much time for romance. His immediate priority is to prepare actively.
In the late afternoon, at an abandoned house that used to belong to the Liu family, Yang Lin called over several of his workshop masters.
The Construction Team's Gao Da Zhuang, the Metallurgy Workshop's Zhao Shunzi, the Tofu Workshop's Big Sister, the Design Workshop's Du Jing, Wang Gui responsible for transportation, and Kong Liang and Qin Shuang from the Guard Team.
"Today I called everyone here because there's something important I want to discuss with you all."
"First, I have two announcements to make. The village head is now the county magistrate of Jianghe County, and Zhong Tao is now a clerk in the criminal justice department. They are both staying in the county seat and won't be back for a while." At this, everyone present was shocked!
"What The village head has become the chief clerk"
"My goodness, this is really happening! My brother came back from the city before and told me about it, but I didn't believe him."
"Yes, the village head used to be afraid that Liu Youcai would take his position. He certainly couldn't have imagined that one day he could go to the county and become an official!"
Everyone exclaimed in amazement.
In their minds, the county magistrate was definitely a big official!
Above the village head, there are still lizheng, lisu, xushi... all the way up to the shubu, at least several layers.
Now Zhao Fugui has become the head clerk, a meteoric rise!
So, the positions of village head and security captain are vacant. I plan to have Qin Shuang serve as temporary village head and Kong Liang as the security captain. What do you think
Everyone nodded in agreement.
There's nothing much to say about this.
The position of village head is generally held by an elderly person with authority in the village.
But now Yang Lin is the most influential person in the village. He doesn't want to be the village head himself, and he appoints a village head, and no one objects.
As for appointing Kongliang as the captain of the bodyguard team, there's no need to say more. Although the bodyguard team claims to protect Laoshanyuan Village, everyone knows that the bodyguard team, like all the other workshops, is Yanglin's private property!
>>>>
"The second thing, the old village head returned today and said something..."
Yang Lin immediately informed them that there was rebellion in the south, and the government needed to conscript laborers and grain. There was a possibility of an influx of refugees in the near future, and in the distant future, the entire country would likely be plunged into chaos... He laid out all these possibilities.
Until he finished speaking, not a single person in the room made a sound.
Because they were all scared.
"Today I called everyone here mainly to discuss these matters."
The wisdom of one person is limited, the wisdom of many people is infinite, and it's better to prepare for some things in advance!
"So everyone, let's think about how we should deal with what comes next"
However, no one still spoke.
This statement is packed with too much information! It's going to take them some time to process it all.idy!"Li Yuxiang's mouth trembled slightly.To spend money like this, squandering it all, and he seems quite proud of himselfAfter much to-and-fro, the silver from the Zhao family finally arrived at the...
