crowding together.Yang Lin maintained order while answering the villagers' questions."Don't worry, everyone. I have a lot of work to do. As long as I want to, after paying off my debts, I can still s...Seeing that Li Yuyao and the third sister were about to return, Yang Lin anxiously scratched his ears and cheeks.

He had been peering out the window for quite a while.

However, they were too far away to hear what they were saying.

Under the bright moonlight, Yang Lin only saw San Jie kneeling before Li Yuyao three times. Every time she was helped up, she would kneel down again shortly after.

Looking at that scene, Yang Lin was dumbfounded.

Although there are many kneeling rituals in the Great Qin Dynasty, it is not customary to kneel before everyone. Kneeling only occurs in formal occasions according to age, seniority and social status.

Who exactly is Li Yuxiang Why would the third sister kneel before her The two seem very agitated, what are they saying to each other

Yang Lin realized there was a problem, a big problem!

Alas, he didn't hear a single word of their conversation.

What on earth did you bring home

Is Li Yuxiang the daughter of a wealthy family Is the third sister her maidservant

No!

If that were the case, why didn't they recognize each other sooner

Besides, with Sanjie's temperament, she could absolutely not be a maid!

Yang Lin pondered deeply.

By this time, the two had already returned.

Yang Lin hurriedly crawled down and pretended to be asleep.

In a moment, the sound of two people returning softly reached his ears. Li Yuyáo swam back to him.

Everything is just like nothing happened...

The next morning, as soon as Yang Lin got up, he heard a commotion outside his door.

"What's going on" Yang Lin asked.

Xiao Jiu said, "Many people have come. They seem to be here to work for us and they're all waiting for you."

Yang Lin hurried outside and saw that there were already dozens of people crowding outside the gate, both men and women, old and young.

"Yang Lin is out!"

"Yang Lin, I want to give you some work."

"Can you see that I'm good at this"

"Yesterday my family came back and said you still need people, so let your aunt come too. My aunt is strong and can work."

All eyes were on Yang Lin, eagerly awaiting his next move.

A girl in her early twenties said, “Yang Lin, you can rest assured. I work just as hard as men, and I don't want five coins, just two will do.”

"I don't need money, just enough to eat," a boy of eleven or twelve said in a childish voice.

Many young children nodded, looking at him with a mixture of nervousness and excitement.

Yang Lin sighed in his heart.

"Rest assured, folks, I'm not a landlord and I won't exploit you. As for wages... men and women put in different amounts of effort after all. Women get four cash coins, and children under thirteen get three cash coins a day."

If you're willing, meet at the tofu shop by the river later. After registering your name, you can be assigned tasks to do.

As soon as Yang Lin spoke, the villagers erupted in an uproar.

"I'm willing!"

"I'm willing!"

"Yang Lin, you are such a kind person!"

The villagers were all overjoyed and ecstatic.

Most of those who came today are family members of the twenty-three laborers, so women and children make up the majority.

The rest are either elderly or disabled, all of them unwanted by Liu the landlord.

Even the strongest men working on Liu's land couldn't earn more than four copper coins.

And now, women who couldn't make money before are able to earn four cents a day here in Yanglin, even more than the laborers working for Liu the landowner!

How could this not get them excited

After breakfast, Yang Lin led the women to a place outside the village. It was a location he had already scouted.

"I'm going to build my house here," Yang Lin said, pointing at the place.

The women were stunned, staring around in astonishment.

This is a wasteland, far from the village. It's deserted all around. Who would run here to build a house All the women couldn't understand it.

Let's brainstorm and discuss what kind of house we want to change.

Yang Lin looked at everyone, his eyes lingering for a moment longer on Li Yuyao and the third sister.

"A house is just a house, what else could it be"

"Yeah, as long as it's livable and doesn't leak when it rains, that's good enough."

"What kind of house does your husband want to build"

The women chattered away but ultimately came up with no suggestions, and instead, the issue fell back onto Yang Lin.

Yang Lin sighed helplessly: "Since you don't have any suggestions, I'll just tell you my plan."

"Well, here's our house. It's ten zhang long, five zhang wide, with three floors above ground and two below. There are twelve bedrooms, two living rooms, two kitchens, and two bathrooms... oh, that is to say toilets."

Yang Lin said this, and the women glared again.

It's fine that there are three floors above ground, but what on earth is with the two underground

And, building a bathroom inside the house Wouldn't it be smelly

Besides, there are also a study, a secret room, a storage room, a utility room, a gym, and a laboratory.

People once again looked strange.

Gym Laboratory

What is that then

"The house is surrounded by a wall five zhangs wide."

"The wall was three丈 high and two尺 thick. Outside the wall, a canal was dug, encircling it."

The canal is three meters wide and deep, drawing river water over. A suspension bridge is set up in front of the gate, and on both sides are two arrow towers...

As Yang Lin spoke, the bystanders were still unaware of anything amiss, but Li Yunyao's expression grew increasingly strange.

Because she suddenly realized that Yang Linjian's this, it doesn't look like a house at all.

More like a city!

The moat is like a city wall, the courtyard walls are like city walls, and things like watchtowers only exist on city walls...

Until Yang Lin finished speaking, the biggest impression Li Yuyao had of this house was just two words.

Safe!

Such a safe and secure home, it's not much different from a palace!

Why is a scholar from the village so concerned about safety

Li Yuxiang really couldn't understand.

But Yang Lin hadn't finished speaking yet.

"This is our plan for the first phase."

After the completion of the first phase, we will continue to build the second, third, and fourth phases... which is to say, in the future, our neighborhood will have a second ring road, a third ring road, and a fourth ring road...

As Yang Lin spoke, the women all seemed to see a magnificent city rising from this barren wasteland.

It's just...

Is this building a house

It's practically building a new city!

If he really carried out the plan on that scale, by the end of the fourth phase, not only would the entire mountainside village be included, but their family's land would even be larger than the whole Qinghe County town!

The women were dumbfounded, astonished by how Yang Lin could have such a grand vision.

"No objections"

>Okay, no objections then. That's settled.

"Let's go to the workshop."

When I arrived at the tofu workshop, those villagers had already been waiting here in the morning.

When Yang Lin came over, the villagers flocked to him.

Yang Lin asked Xiao Jiu to record the registration for the villagers.

"Ahem, before assigning tasks, I'd like to ask, folks present here, are there any roofers, blacksmiths, carpenters... anyone skilled in a trade Please come forward and stand over here."

Yang Lin pointed to himself.

The villagers were all a little stunned.

Seeing no one move, Yang Lin continued, "Skilled workers, ten copper coins a day!"

Hearing the ten articles, the villagers immediately erupted in excitement.this moment looking from afar it was just a line, but in reality it was a rock formation on the mountainside!A layer of white rock so abruptly appearing in the mountain could only mean one thing... Y...
