Chapter 64 All for Safety

oung master has already taken three concubines, but my Liu family can afford more! Just ask me, and this young master will take on two more wives without hesitation!"Liu Liang raised his chin proudly,...Li Yuxiang was stunned for a long time.

She was completely shocked by Yang Lin's words.

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

"Why are you doing this"

Li Yuyao asked in confusion.

She could imagine that if Yang Lin said all this, it would really come true.

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

But she just couldn't understand why Yang Lin was doing all this.

Yang Lin gave a bitter smile and looked at Li Yuyao, saying softly, "Of course it's for safety."

"Safety"

Li Yuxiang was taken aback.

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

Yang Lin patted Li Yuhua's head.

Li Yuxiang wanted to dodge, but she didn't. She felt the big hand gently stroking her head and her heart beat rapidly. At the same time, she was surprised that she wasn't angry, instead... quite at ease

Yang Lin gazed at the distance.

Since he arrived in Dayan, tension and unease have always surrounded him.

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

Coming from a well-established civilized era, arriving in this world is like stepping into a dark forest. He cannot predict where the danger will come from.

Yang Lin doesn't want a day to come where, because of his own carelessness, he angers some powerful person and is taken away, thrown into prison, or even killed!

He wouldn't want to be helpless when someone bullies his wife!

So, ever since he arrived here, he has been trying his best to become stronger and have the ability to protect himself!

"I suddenly thought of something else! You're hosting this pork feast today, couldn't it be that you planned it from the beginning to take advantage of the opportunity to promote your house building project"

Yang Lin smiled but said nothing.

Li Yuyao continued, "Also, yesterday you gave everyone a raise in wages. Was it also to lay the groundwork for today's house-building plan To make people feel that there will be opportunities for raises in the future, and that building a house is not difficult"

Yang Lin smiled again and said noncommittally, "Let's go. The pork should be cooked through, and we should head back for dinner!"

Pulling Li Yuyao, who was still in shock, Yang Lin smiled and walked back.

At this pork feast, the villagers ate with great satisfaction.

After the meal, almost everyone eagerly inquired about the house-building matters. Yang Lin also answered everyone's questions one by one to their inquiries.

He will start a housing project, named "Mountainside New Village," effective immediately.

The new village has six types of housing, ranging from three to eight rooms. The down payment ranges from 3,000 to 8,000 wen. The initial payment is 10%. For those who can't afford it, they can work off their debt.

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

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

They fussed about until dark before finishing the registration, and the villagers left contentedly.

The Liu family.

When the steward rushed in and told Liu Zhangshi about what had just happened, Liu Zhangshi was completely dumbfounded. She slumped down onto a chair and burst into tears.

"Damn Yang Lin! How could he be so reckless and squander his money! That was Liu family's silver, how could he spend it like that! How could he possibly do this!"

She really couldn't understand how anyone could do that, receiving a large sum of money and not saving it, but instead rushing to spend it all.

Is he crazy!

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

"Old Liu, you have to find a way! We can't let them build roads, we can't let them build houses!" Liu Zhang fiercely slammed her fist on the table and roared.

The steward wore a troubled expression: "Madam, this...this is difficult. The money is in Yang Lin's hands, and the villagers are all willing to work for him. We want to stop him, but we can't."

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

Liu Zhang roared.

The butler could only meekly agree and leave.

……

That evening, in the county town of Jianghe.

In the study of Zhao's family in the southern part of the city, County Magistrate Zhao Deyi was discussing with Zhou Kun, the head of the criminal investigation department who had just arrived, how to use means to extort more silver from Liu Youcai's house.

Yang Lin has support from the magistrate, so they can't do anything to him for now.

And since Liu Youcai had become a fish on their chopping board, they wouldn't show him any mercy!

"Liu Youcai's crime warrants banishment for 800 miles. We can tell his family that if they pay 1,000 taels of silver, we'll reduce the distance to 3,000 miles. Zhao sir, what do you think" Zhou Kun said with a sinister smile.

Zhao Deyi nodded lightly: "You 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 of them burst into laughter.

A knock on the door echoed.

"Master, there's news from Laoyuan Village. That landlord surnamed Liu has left all his fortune to Yang Lin."

"What"

"Come in!"

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

A servant entered the room and hurriedly reported the latest news.

"Master, it was Yang Lin who announced it publicly 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!"

"Humph!" Zhao Deyi said coldly, "Does he think this means we're powerless Since the silver and land are all with Yang Lin, then let's just get rid of him altogether!"

"Uh..."

The servant hesitated to speak.

"Speak!" Zhao Deyi said coldly.

"Master, Yang Lin divided up all those fields yesterday."

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

The servant lowered his head and recounted the news from Gaoyuan Village in detail.

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

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

Don't they understand, is this Yang Lin an idiot How could he just give away the land and silver that was within reach He says to divide it, so he divides it; he says to spend it, so he spends it

Is there anyone else in the world who wastes money like this

After everyone else had left, Zhou Kun sighed and said to Zhao, "Alas, Sir Zhao, I'm afraid we won't make much profit this time."

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

Zhao Deyi was about to scold, but when he saw the person coming in, it was his son Zhao Guang. He couldn't help frowning: "You're so grown up now, yet you still act recklessly and nervously! How can you be so unrefined! Uncle Zhou is here, why don't you come and greet him quickly!"

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

"What What did you find"

"The one who struck me!" Zhao Guang growled fiercely, "Father, do you still remember, the one who hit 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 bumpkin from our Jianghe County!"appy about this.”Since the matter had been brought up, and Jia Shiyan still refused to speak, Huo Qingchi wouldn't press further.She's not that she can't find it, she just needs a little time.Moreove...
