orders.More and more people are heading to the mountains, even the path leading to the village has become bustling.The tofu workshop by the river was still bustling with activity. News of this had spr...Seeing that Li Yuhua and her third sister were about to return, Yang Lin was so anxious he 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 his third sister kneeling before Li Yuyao three times. Each time she was helped up, she would kneel again soon after.

Looking at the scene, Yang Lin was dumbfounded.

Although there are many kneeling rituals in the Daqian Dynasty, it is not necessary to kneel to everyone. Kneeling is only done in formal occasions according to age and seniority.

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

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

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

What on earth did you marry

Is Li Yuhua a wealthy family's daughter Is her third sister her maidservant

No!

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

Moreover, with San Jie's temperament, she could never possibly be a maidservant!

Yang Lin pondered deeply.

By this time, the two people had already returned.

Yang Lin hurriedly lay down and pretended to be asleep.

In a short while, the sound of two people returning lightly reached their ears. Li Yuyao returned to his side.

It's like nothing ever happened...

The next morning, as Yang Lin just got up, he heard a cacophony of noise coming from outside his door.

"What's going on" Yang Lin asked.

Xiao Jiu said, "There are a lot of people here, they seem to be coming to work for us, all waiting for you."

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

"Yang Lin is out!"

"Yang Lin, I want to give you a job."

"Can you see that I'm doing well"

“Yesterday, my family came back and said that you still need people here, so why not let my aunt come too My aunt is strong and can work.”

Everyone gazed expectantly at Yang Lin.

A girl in her early twenties said, "Yang Lin, you can rest assured that I work just as hard as men. And I don't need five wen; two wen will do."

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

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

Yang Lin sighed in his heart.

"Don't worry everyone, I'm not a landlord and I won't exploit you. As for wages... men and women work differently after all. Women get four cents, and children under thirteen get three cents 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 work on.

As soon as Yang Lin uttered those words, the villagers immediately erupted in chaos.

"I'm willing!"

"I'm willing!"

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

The villagers were all excitedly overjoyed.

Most of those who came today are relatives of the twenty-three laborers, so women and children make up most of the crowd.

The rest are either elderly or disabled, all of whom were discarded by Liu the landowner.

A strongman at Mr. Liu's place couldn't even get four cash coins.

And now, women who were originally unable to earn money can actually make four cash a day in Yanglin, even more than the laborers working for Liu the landlord!

How could this not get them excited

After breakfast, Yang Lin led the women to a place outside the village. He had scouted it beforehand.

"I'm going to build the house here." Yang Lin pointed to this place.

The women, however, were taken aback and looked around in astonishment.

This is a wasteland, quite far from the village. It's empty all around. Who would run here to build a house None of the women could figure it out.

"Let's brainstorm and share what kind of house you'd like to change"

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

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

"Yeah, as long as it's habitable and doesn't leak, that's fine."

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

The women chattered among themselves, but ultimately came up with no suggestions. Instead, the problem was pushed back onto Yang Lin again.

Yang Lin sighed helplessly: "Since you guys have no suggestions, I'll just share my plan."

"Well, here's our house. It's ten zhang long, five zhang wide, three stories above ground and two below. There are twelve bedrooms, two living rooms, two kitchens, and two bathrooms... oh, I mean toilets."

Yang Lin said this, and the women stared again.

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

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

In addition, there is also a study, a secret room, a storage room, a utility room, a gym, and a laboratory.

People's faces were once again strange.

Gym Laboratory

What else is that

The house's perimeter is five zhang wide, with a wall built around it.

The wall was three meters high and two feet thick. Outside the wall, a canal was dug to surround it.

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

As Yang Lin spoke, the bystanders were oblivious. Li Yuyao's face grew increasingly strange.

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

More like a city!

The moat is the city moat, the courtyard wall is the city wall, and things like arrow towers... only exist on city walls...

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

Safe!

This safe and sound house is almost as good as a palace!

Why is a scholar in a village so concerned about safety

Li Yuxiang really couldn't figure it out.

...while Yang Lin hadn't finished speaking.

"This is our one-phase plan."

"After the completion of the first phase project, we will continue to construct the second, third, and fourth phases...that is, in the future, our neighborhood's second, third, and fourth ring roads..."

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

Just...

Is this building a house

It's like building a new city!

If we really follow his scale, when the fourth phase of construction is complete, not only will the entire mountain village be included, but their family's land will even be bigger than the whole Qinghe County town!

The women were dumbfounded, astonished at how Yang Lin could have such a grand idea.

"No objections"

Okay, no problem. That's settled then.

"Let's go to the workshop."

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

When Yang Lin came, the villagers gathered around him.

Yang Lin asked Xiao Jiu to record and register the villagers.

"Ahem, before I assign tasks, I want to ask everyone here, are there any carpenters, blacksmiths, masons... skilled individuals who can 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, "Those with skills, ten copper coins a day!"

Hearing this, the villagers instantly erupted in excitement. bandits.Seeing someone kill a bandit on the street, they only felt exhilaration!One head landed, and the two bandits who had just been so scared they wet their pants immediately fainted.Only the one...
