ndowner's house, one had to work seven hours a day. Work began at sunrise and lasted until sunset. When taking a break, one would be cursed by the steward, or even beaten.And Yang Lin only needed fiv...Li Yuxiang was stunned for a long time.

She was completely shocked by Yang Lin's words.

Although I don't know what Yang Lin means by "steel" and "glass," it's clear he's playing a big game!

Why are you doing this

Li Yuxiang asked in puzzlement.

She could imagine, if Yang Lin said all of this, it really could be done.

Then he would definitely become, the richest person in all of Great Qin!

But she just couldn't understand what Yang Lin's purpose was in doing all this.

Yang Lin gave a wry smile and looked at Li Yuyao, softly saying, “Of course, it’s for safety.”

"Safety"

Li Yuxiang was taken aback.

"Yes, only when you are strong enough can you have the power to protect yourself and all of you."

Yang Lin patted Li Yuxiang on the head.

Li Yuyao wanted to dodge, but she didn't, feeling the large hand gently stroking her head. Her heart skipped a beat, and she was surprised that she didn't feel anger, but instead... a sense of peace

Yang Lin gazed into the distance.

Since arriving in Dayan, tension and anxiety have always surrounded him.

This uneasiness stems from the savagery and disorder of this era.

From a well-ordered civilized age, coming to this world is like walking into a dark forest. He cannot predict where danger will come from.

Yang Lin doesn't want a day to come when he gets arrested, imprisoned, or even killed just because of an accidental offense against some high-ranking official.

He even more hoped that no one would bully his wife when he was powerless!

So, since he arrived here, he has been trying every way to make himself stronger and have the ability to protect himself!

"I suddenly thought of something else! You held this pork feast today, couldn't it be that you planned it from the beginning, using this opportunity to promote your housing project"

Yang Lin smiled but said nothing.

Li Yuyao continued, "Also, yesterday you raised everyone's wages, wasn't that also paving the way for today's house-building plan Making everyone feel like there's still a chance for raises in the future, and that building a house isn't difficult"

Yang Lin smiled again, without confirming or denying, and said: "Let's go, the pork should be cooked, we should go back for dinner!"

Having pulled Li Yuhui, who was still in shock, Yang Lin walked back with a sneer.

At this pig feast, the villagers ate with great gusto.

After the meal, almost everyone eagerly asked about building a house. Yang Lin also answered everyone's questions one by one.

He will start a housing project called "Mountainside New Village" today.

There are six types of housing units in Kaoshantxinn Village, ranging from three to eight rooms. The down payment ranges from 3,000 to 8,000 wen. The first installment is 10%, and those who can't afford it can work off their debts.

Soon, two long queues formed at the entrance of the village.

On one side, people are paying to build houses; on the other side, people are applying to join the road repair team.

They kept busy until dark, finally finishing the registration process. The villagers left happily satisfied.

The Liu family.

When the housekeeper rushed in and told Liu Zhangshi what had just happened, Liu Zhangshi was completely dumbfounded. She collapsed into a chair and burst into tears.

"Damn Yang Lin! How could you squander all the money like that! That's my Liu family's silver, how could you spend it! How could he!"

Liu Zhang cried her eyes out, beating her chest and stamping her feet.

She really couldn't understand how anyone could be like that, getting a large sum of money and instead of saving it, they would rush to spend it all.

He's crazy!

"No, my family's silver, I can't let him spend it like this!"

“Lao Liu, you have to think of a way! We can't let them build the road, we can't let them build houses!” Liu Zhangshi slammed her fist on the table and roared.

The steward looked embarrassed. “Madam, this… this is difficult. The money is in Yang Lin’s hands, and everyone in the village is willing to work for him. We can’t stop him even if we wanted to.”

"I don't care what you do, but I won't allow him to spend our family's money!!"

Liu Zhang roared.

The steward had no choice but to meekly go out.

……

That evening, in the county town of Jianghe.

In the study of Zhao's household in Chengnan, County magistrate Zhao Deyi was conferring with Zhou Kun, the head jailer who had just arrived from the prison, on how to extort more silver taels from Liu Youcai's family.

Yang Lin has a magistrate on his side, so they can't do anything to him for now.

And since Liu Youcai became their fish on the chopping board, they wouldn't show him any mercy!

"Liu Youcai has been exiled 800 li for his crimes. We can tell his family that if they pay a thousand taels of silver, we can reduce his exile to 3000 li, effectively shortening it by 1000 li. Zhao Da Ren, what do you think" Zhou Kun said with a smirk.

Zhao Deyi nodded lightly: "Go ahead and do it."

"Yes, I will leave this to my subordinates. My subordinates will take four, and you will take six."

The two burst into laughter.

A knock on the door.

"Master, there's news from Laoyuan Village. The Liu landowner has left all his wealth to Yang Lin."

"What"

"Come in!"

Zhao Deyi and Zhou Kun were both surprised by the news.

A servant entered the room and quickly reported the news he had just received.

"Sir, it was Yang Lin who publicly announced it in Laoshān Village. Liu Youcai gave him two thousand mu of land and three thousand taels of silver."

Zhou Kun clenched his fists: “Damn Liu Youcai, he’s still an old fox!”

"Hmph!" Zhao Deyi said coldly, "Does he think that this means we are helpless Since the silver and land are all with Yang Lin, then simply deal with Yang Lin together!"

"Uh..."

The servant hesitated to speak.

"Speak!" Zhao Deyi said coldly.

"Master, Yang Lin distributed all those fields yesterday."

"Today he spent all three thousand taels of silver…"

The servant lowered his head and recounted the news from the village of Ai Shan in detail.

After hearing this, both Zhao Deyi and Zhou Kun were dumbfounded.

After a moment of silence, the two looked at each other, both seeing confusion in each other's eyes.

Don't they understand, is this Yang Lin an idiot How can he just give away the land and silver that are right in his hands He says to divide it if you want to divide it, and spend it if you want to spend it

Is there anyone else who spends money like this

After everyone else left, Zhou Kun sighed and said to Zhao, "Alas, Sir Zhao, I'm afraid we won't get anything out of this."

Just then, the door to the study was pushed open again.

Zhao Deyi was just about to scold, when he saw the person coming in was his son Zhao Guang. He couldn't help but frown: "You're so grown up now, but you still act recklessly and nervously. How can this do! Your Uncle Zhou is here, why don't you hurry over and greet him!"

However, Zhao Guang ignored Zhou Kun and excitedly said, "Father, I found out!"

"What What did you find"

"The one who beat me!" Zhao Guang snarled. "Father, do you remember The one who beat me came from Pingyuan County, with ten wives"

"Father, do you know why we haven't found him after so long We've been deceived! That boy isn't from Pingyuan County at all; he's just a country bumpkin from our own Jianghe County!" Wang, please don't give me any more silver. Even if you give me silver, I can't conjure it up..."Yang Lin kept declining while emphasizing that there were only ten buckets.The officials were in a pan...
