get through the crisis!""You are now turning against us for the sake of an outsider you don't even know!"Pang Zhengde let out a wry smile: "Shao Xiaoli, I'm telling you, when your brother gets here,...These letters are correspondences between Heihǔ, Zhōu Kūn, Zhào Déyì, and even the magistrate Wú Yǒng over the past few years!
By looking through these letters, one can see that they inadvertently reveal the time, place, and benefits that Black Tiger has given them over the years.
There's no need to think about it, these letters were definitely deliberately left behind by Black Tiger to keep those powerful old masters in check!
Perhaps the Zhou and Zhao families tolerate the Blackwind Mountain bandits' lawlessness and rampant crimes because, besides accepting bribes from Heihu, they are also threatened by him! They thus become accomplices, mutually harming each other.
When Yang Lin saw these letters, he thought of their use.
With these letters, the plan he had dared to dream was now much easier to put into action!
"With so much gold and silver, we can't even fit it all here," Xiao Jiu Han Mengzhu frowned and said.
All the women were taken aback and couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time.
The house was already small, and with eleven people living in it, it was quite cramped. They had already earned a good amount of silver that filled their cabinets. Now, with all this extra gold, silver, antiques, and jade, there was simply no room left!
Perhaps this is the trouble with happiness: there's just too much money!
All the women looked at Yang Lin.
Yang Lin thought for a moment: "Let's put it in the warehouse."
"Warehouse"
The crowd of women were astonished and looked at Yang Lin strangely.
A warehouse is a place normally used to store food, farming tools, bran, seeds, and some miscellaneous items.
Yang Lin would actually use a warehouse to store gold and silver
Yang Lin shrugged. "Although this silver looks like a lot, once it's poured out of the box and piled up in the corner, it doesn't seem like much."
"But we just can't fit anymore in our house. We can't pile it up in the yard, can we So we have to put it in the warehouse."
The silver was so plentiful that it could only be stored in a warehouse… the faces of the women grew increasingly strange.
But since Yang Lin said so, that settled it.
Immediately, everyone carried the boxes to the warehouse and dumped the gold and silver inside into a corner. Then they tossed the boxes outside.
Seeing the silver pile up on the ground, the women couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion.
Back then, when they first arrived at this house, they were still worrying about over a thousand wen!
However, in less than a month, they were already able to fill the warehouse with silver!
Liumei sighed, "So much silver, I'm afraid it would take a lifetime to spend it all!"
As soon as she said this, she immediately thought of something.
Then, all the women turned their heads and looked at Yang Lin.
"Ahem."
Yang Lin coughed lightly and said embarrassedly, "Actually, it's still possible to spend it all. Not to mention anything else, just our new house, after the second phase of construction starts, I'm afraid this money won't be enough."
All the women were astonished.
To know, including the silver from Landlord Liu's house and the money raised for building houses, there is now over ten thousand taels of silver alone in the warehouse!
And with so much silver, wouldn't it be enough to build a house
How big of a house is he going to build!
Only Li Yuxiang knew, "building a house" These two words were far too humble!
According to Yang Lin's previous description, the so-called Phase II project was almost like building a prototype of a city!
The next day, Kaoshān Village returned to its usual bustle.
The Road Repair Team, Tofu Workshop, Smelting Workshop, Construction Team, Lumberjack Team, Quarry Team, Brickmaker's Team… all back to work!
At the same time, Yang Lin announced that from now on, all villagers who work for him will have their wages increased by one cent!
A few days ago, we just announced a raise in wages, from five wen to six wen.
It hasn't even been a few days, and wages have gone up again. Naturally, everyone is elated and the previous gloom and doom have vanished. On top of that, Yang Lin also announced that hiring continues!
Squads of guards, woodcutters, kiln builders, and smelters... each increase by ten people.
Add twenty people to the construction team!
The mining team and the quarrying team were merged to form a mining team, and ten more people were added to go to Blackwind Mountain to collect saltpeter.
Finally, Yang Lin announced the bonuses awarded to those who participated in the defense of Gaoshan Village.
The deceased will be given 100 taels of silver for burial expenses.
Those severely wounded will be reimbursed for their medical expenses and receive a bonus of ten taels of silver!
All members of the road construction team who were forced by bandits that day, each awarded one hundred wen!
Guard every man, each will be awarded two hundred wen!
In addition, each member of the guard who participated in the attack on Black Wind Mountain will be awarded one thousand wen!
Every villager who participated in yesterday's trip to the county will receive twenty wen.
After the announcement of this series of bonuses, the villagers were once again in an uproar.
Every person in Koushan Village can see that their future is undoubtedly bright!
While Yang Lin seemed to have earned a lot this time, in reality, all the expenses didn't exceed three hundred taels of silver. Even including the harvest from this trip to Black Wind Mountain, it was less than a fraction of what he earned.
But after this time, the village of Relying on the Mountain will surely be even more united and its cohesion will once again be elevated to a new level!
After a busy day, Yang Lin was preparing to expand Du Jing's design workshop again and prepare gunpowder when Qin Shuang, a guard from his bodyguard team, came over.
Qin Shuang was in her early twenties, quick-witted and resourceful. When Yang Lin expanded the security team this time, he appointed Qin Shuang as a squad leader, responsible for patrols.
"Brother Lin, a girl has come to our village!"
Qin Shuang came over and said mysteriously.
"Girl Is there a problem" Yang Lin asked.
Now that Koushan Village is bustling with merchants from town and the county, Qin Shuang wouldn't normally bother to report back to herself unless she was an extraordinary girl.
"Mmm hmm! There's a problem! A big problem!" Qin Shuang leaned mysteriously into Yang Lin's ear, lowering her voice. "That girl is about twenty years old, wearing ragged clothes like a beggar, but her aura...it's very...special. Most importantly, she came to our village looking for a woman!"
"A woman"
Yang Lin was confused again.
"Mmm! That's right, she's looking for a woman!" Qin Shuang hurriedly nodded. "According to her description of the person she's looking for, I feel like she wants... it might be my sister-in-law!"
Saying that, Qin Shuang looked at Yang Lin.
Yang Lin was taken aback again: "Which sister-in-law"
"Of course, it's your sister-in-law!" Qin Shuang winked mischievously.
Li Yao
Yang Lin's heart also moved.
He could guess that Li Yuyao's background was mysterious and there might be a story behind her, even the name "Li Yao" might not be her real one.
And those who are looking for her, could be her family.
But there's also a possibility, she could be her enemy!
"Where is everyone" Yang Lin asked.
Qin Shuang hurriedly said, "I don't know who she is. I didn't dare to tell her your sister-in-law's news, so I arranged for her to stay at the village head's house first and then hurried over here to find you."
Yang Lin nodded in approval and said, “Well done! Let’s go take a look now!”
Following Qin Shuang, we arrived at Zhao Fugu's house. As soon as we entered the room, we saw the girl Qin Shuang had mentioned.
Around twenty years old, she was quite pretty. She wore tattered clothes.
However, the moment the girl lifted her head, Yang Lin saw a pair of piercing eyes!
Like a hawk searching for prey!he mountain. Every four hours, two bandits take turns guarding it."The mountain road is steep and dangerous, easy to defend but hard to attack.Li Yiyao had just shown worry on her face when Yang Lin c...
