Chapter 164: Windfall

Changping County is actually nothing special, no different from the county seat of the 90s, and it is not even on the main traffic route. Lin Yu hadn't thought too much about why Yin Susu had set up a stronghold here. However, through the words of businessman Zhao Dayi, Lin Yu also learned that the local land is relatively fertile, the climate is also very good, and there is a river running through the county, which is a peaceful and peaceful small town.

Probably because Lin Yu and others saved his life, Zhao Dayi is a person who is so enthusiastic that he is a little verbose, "Actually, if you have money, it is good to buy a little land." In our place, the price of land is not expensive, but almost every year the wind and rain are smooth, and there is always a lot of food. Moreover, half a month ago, the land of our county advocated Cong because his eldest son killed someone, and he wanted to use money to dredge up and down activities, so he was in a hurry to sell the land, and the price was even cheaper than usual. ”

"Why don't you buy some land if it's cheap?" Xiaobai blinked and asked.

"Naturally, I want to buy some, otherwise I wouldn't have gone to the neighboring county to collect the debt this time. It's just that Master Zhang is going to sell about sixty or seventy hectares of land this time, how much can we buy from our small family? Don't talk about us, no one in the entire Changping County can eat, and the Zhang family is the richest family in Changping County. Zhao Dayi explained. The Zhao family also does not accept the sale of one acre at a time, and it is necessary to sell more than twenty acres at a time. ”

"Oh, and if you have the money, it's a good idea to buy some." Xiaobai touched his nose and looked at Lin Yu, "But I'm not very good at business, Xiaoyu, what do you think?" ”

"It's okay, it still depends on how much an acre is, the location and the output." Lin Yu laughed, "However, it is impossible for us to live in Changping County permanently, so it is also troublesome to operate like this." ”

"That's just as well." Xiaobai lowered his head and thought for a moment, then hesitated again.

At this time, Zhao Dayi opened his mouth, "By the way, I see that the girl you carry multiple spices with you, do you have spices at home to make a living?" ”

"Sort of." Lin Yu nodded, Qingqing is not running a spice shop right now, but she only has forty percent of the dry shares, and she doesn't ask about everything.

"Then the benefactor should buy the land here, the best thing we can grow on this land is all kinds of herbs, and the Zhang family also got rich from it." Zhao Dayi patted his thigh and said. "Local farmers are also very good at growing vanilla flowers."

"Producing vanilla? Well, it's really worth considering. Lin Yu nodded, "If what you said is true, I'll buy it then." ”

Lin Yu mentioned the problem of modern perfume blending to Qingqing, and Qingqing was also very interested, but the raw materials were not good. In ancient times, the preservation conditions were limited, and those herbs and spices were all dried products, and when the essential oil was extracted, not to mention that part of the essential oil in the dried products had been volatilized, the extraction yield was very low, and it was very difficult to extract alone.

If you want to solve this problem, you must first have fresh raw materials, that is, you have your own raw material origin. Lin Yu had eaten a lot of land before, and there was land to plant, but the local farmers had no experience in growing spices. Originally, I started to do this in the spring, but this series of things kept happening, and the research on vanilla cultivation was put on hold.

However, if the local climate is suitable for growing flowers and plants, and local farmers also have experience in growing spices and plants, it will be twice the result with half the effort. This place is not far from the capital, only a day and a half away, and the fast horse is a day's journey, whether it is picked down for local processing, or transported to the capital for processing is not a very difficult thing.

As an authentic Jianghu person, Nangong Liu didn't make a living at all, so he never interjected. At this time, seeing Lin Yu's intentions, he suddenly spoke, and said with a little dissatisfaction, "Shopkeeper Zhao, I found that you seem to have been encouraging the two of you to buy the Zhang family's land, are you related to the Zhang family?" ”

Zhao Dayi was stunned, and even Xiaobai could see that something was wrong with the change in his face. Looking at Lin Yu's gradually cold eyes, he smiled bitterly, "It really made the three benefactors laugh, my wife is also surnamed Zhang, and she is Zhang Cong's niece, although her father is a concubine, but Zhang Cong has always taken care of this niece." Her father died early, and the dowry was still given by her uncle Zhang Cong. I went to the neighboring county to collect the arrears, also to make up money. ”

"We managed to save it once." Nangong Liu hated such people the most, and said coldly, "How can you coax us, En will take revenge." ”

"I really don't dare to do this, although I am not a big person, this drop of water is still known in return. I encouraged my benefactor to buy the Zhang family's land, although I was a little selfish, but I didn't dare to harm my benefactor. The land in this county is indeed fertile, the climate is suitable for growing herbs, and the farmers are experienced. The Zhang family sells land urgently, and the price is indeed cheap, if the benefactor can buy those land, wouldn't it be a matter of double benefit? ”

Nangong Liu's expression eased at this time, but Xiao Bai touched Lin Yu with his elbow, "Xiaoyu, no matter how cheap this land is, it costs two or one mu, one hectare of land is one hundred taels, and fifty hectares of land costs more than forty thousand taels, we have so much money there?" ”

Hearing him say this, Zhao Dayi's face immediately turned gray, he didn't know that Lu Dao Xiaobai just said that the money on the two of them was not enough for this amount, and he thought that the two of them couldn't come up with so much money at home.

"Speaking of which, my cousin-in-law is also a bit back, and he doesn't have any hobbies on weekdays, he doesn't gamble, he just likes to drink flower wine. Because the family is really rich, that little expense is nothing, and he didn't change it after beating him a few times, so he had to go. Zhao Dayi sighed.

This time, he fought with someone for a singer, and pushed someone downstairs by mistake, and the other party was also unlucky, obviously not tall, but he hit his head on the stone floor, and he lost his breath at that time. The other party is the brother of a concubine of an official in the capital, who was originally just manslaughter, but was sentenced to intentional homicide, and he was really wronged. However, the Zhang family also had some connections in the capital, so they were in a hurry to take out the money to dredge it, and changed the sentence before the execution of the Autumn Queen. ”

"Good gambling and prostitution, where is there a good end." Lin Yu also sighed a few words, but Nangong Liu said directly on Zhao Dayi's face. "A good daughter-in-law is not good at home to cherish, and it is not surprising that she goes out to spend all day drinking."

Nangong Liu himself is a person who is dedicated to infatuation, and it is normal to look down on this kind of playboy. After all, for such a gentleman, even ordinary and serious people will inevitably look down on them.

That being said, it is true, but what parent is willing to see his son die, and his sin does not lead to death. It's his wife, and it's always for the sake of the children, hoping that he will be fine. Zhao Dayi actually had a lot of complaints about his cousin-in-law's behavior in his heart, but now that this situation is happening, there is nothing to be done.

At this time, he had already seen the city gate of the county seat, and Zhao Dayi said that he was under the city gate, and his house was near the city gate. He asked Lin Yu again to make sure that the three of them were staying at the Hongchang Inn, so they agreed to visit tomorrow.

Lin Yu nodded, "We always have to stay here for two or three days, visit relatives and friends and walk around, and Boss Zhao doesn't need to be in a hurry." ”

Regardless of the Zhang family's story, she was still interested in the land, especially the experienced farmers. Although the purpose of her coming to Changping County is not here. However, it is also a big bonus to solve the problem of raw materials for perfumes. It seems that people still have to do more good deeds in order to accumulate character and good luck.

However, unlike Lin Yu, Zhao Dayi is still more anxious about this matter, and the Zhang family can dredge up the relationship only after selling the land to get cash. Therefore, he planned to go home and discuss with his wife before going to the Zhang family's mansion to visit in person, and then go to Lin Yu and the others early tomorrow morning.

Seeing Zhao Dayi get out of the carriage, Bai Feiruo still didn't understand, "We have a total of about eight thousand taels of silver on our bodies, and now we have spent almost seven or eight hundred taels, and there are only seven thousand taels left, and we still have to leave some travel expenses." Seven thousand taels of silver, it's impossible to buy fifty or sixty acres of land!"

"Spent so much?" Before Lin Yu could speak, Nangong Liu opened his mouth first, with a look of surprise.

Along the way, the main force of spending money is actually Nangong Liu. Lin Yu and Xiaobai are both people who can do anything, but Nangong Liu has big fish and meat along the way, lives in the best inns, and eats the best things, and this money is all from Lin Yu. At first, Nangong Liu had no money, but later he was also familiar with it, so he didn't care about this anymore. According to the ideas of Jianghu people, the money of confidants and friends is almost the same as spending their own.

But from another point of view, Nangong Liu is really used to being lavish, anyway, even if Lin Yu takes other people's money, he will not live a very luxurious life. Nangong Liu didn't mean to, he had a few Iron Brothers and good friends who were all famous rich people in the rivers and lakes, and they never showed mercy when they entertained him. His wife went early, and he had a son who was also very good at business and filial. Every time he traveled, he stuffed his father with 10,000 silver flowers, but he developed the habit of Nangong Liu's generosity.

"It's not a lot." Lin Yu recalled that he had heard of some of the kind of capital cities that could spend eighteen thousand taels in one night, and said very sincerely. "Not much."

"Don't comfort me." Nangong Liu wanted to burst into tears, and looked depressed, "I know that I spend money lavishly." ”

Xiaobai nodded on the side, and was slapped on the head by Lin Yu, "I didn't see that my predecessors were already very depressed, what are you still nodding!" ”

"I think my predecessors are very big-handed, after all, I only had 100 yuan a month of pocket money before I was thirteen years old. After going down the mountain, my mother gave me fifty a month, not less than fifty, because she only gave me five hundred a year, and the average month was more than forty taels. "Bai Feiruo is very serious." This forty taels a month also includes my clothes for the four seasons, and the cost of repairing my weapons. ”

If Bai Fei said this, Nangong Liu was even more embarrassed, not even as a junior, what a shame.

"Okay, okay, it's not like we don't have money, we should spend it." Lin Yu secretly poked Xiaobai with his elbow while diverting the topic, "Hongchang Inn has arrived, let's book a room first." ”

Xiaobai also realized that what he said seemed to be a little excessive, stuck out his tongue, and was the first to jump out of the carriage, "I'll book a room." ”

"Don't forget to book a suite!" Lin Yu admonished in the back.

Hongchang Inn is a stronghold of Yin Susu here, but Lin Yu and Xiaobai did not tell Nangong Liu about this. The first is that this matter is relatively secretive and should not be spread outside, and the second is that it involves the struggle of the palace and the court, so it is better not to let Nangong Liu, a simple martial artist, mix up. Bai Feiruo has a white jade plate that symbolizes his identity, and after the code, he can connect with the people of Changping County.

However, soon Bai Feiruo came out, and came out with a group of people, but it was Pearl and other guards and others.

"Miss, you're fine!" Pearl was the first to fall forward and looked at Lin Yu carefully, "I heard about your disappearance, but I'm worried about death." ”

"It's nothing, it's nothing." Lin Yu looked at the pearl as if she was about to cry, and hurriedly comforted.

"Miss, it's a lot darker." Another girl ring wind chime also came up, "I must have suffered a lot." ”

"Wow, these are all your subordinates!" Nangong Liu Zhilu said that Lin Yu was quite rich, but he didn't expect Lin Yu to have such a bunch of subordinates. Thinking about it carefully, he didn't seem to have seriously asked Lin Yu's identity, only that Lu Dao was quite rich, and he didn't even ask anyone else in the family.

"Who is this old gentleman?" Wind Chime's eyes were sharp, and he saw Nangong Liu standing behind, and asked.

"This is Nangong's old-timer, and he is a famous hero." Xiaobai didn't look good on Nangong Liu's face because he spoke too straight before, so he hurriedly introduced him first and put on a high hat for Nangong Liu. In fact, if you want to say that he is famous in the rivers and lakes, his father Bai Daxia is at the level of the famous rivers and lakes, and Nangong Liu is still a little behind

"It's not famous, it's not good." Looking at the crowd of subordinates, especially the young girl's eyes became hot when she looked at her, Nangong Liu was a little embarrassed and hurriedly explained. "It's just a bit of a name."

"You're welcome, Jianghu." Lin Yu said to Nangong Liu with a smile, and turned his head to greet others, "Okay, let's go in and talk, don't block the door of the inn." ”

It turned out that Pearl and the others had arrived two days ago, after all, this place was much closer to the capital than Pingcheng to the capital. There were two big girls such as pearl and wind chime, four male servants, as well as two of his own cronies sent by Yin Susu, and four guards. The relationship between these two intellectuals, Yin Susu and Bai Feiruo, is a cronie among the cronies, a master of martial arts, and also has a lot of positions in the spy system. In addition, there is also a spy leader here, and there are some staff members in the system, and there are even more of them, but none of them take the initiative to show up.

There were a lot of people, and it almost became lively all at once, Qingqing asked pearls and wind chimes to bring many things to Lin Yu, beautiful clothes, luxurious jewelry, some daily necessities, etc. Pearl secretly swore that she must dress up her young lady beautifully. She almost cried after seeing that Lin Yu just casually curled her hair with a silver hairpin, her young lady must have had a hard time these days.

And Yin Susu's cronies brought Xiaobai two thousand taels of silver, and Yin Susu said that he should spend generously, not too frugal, which moved Xiaobai very much, it is really good that he has such a sister.

However, compared to the news that Lin Yu obtained, these are not very important, at least they should be put back a little. Nangong Liu is idle, and after Lin Yu said that he wanted to rest, he had to go out for a walk. He also invited Xiaobai, but Xiaobai naturally wouldn't agree, and there were serious things to do.

When he went out, Lin Yu and Bai Feiruo secretly called Yin Susu's cronies to the room.

"What's the matter with Childe and Miss Lin? It's so mysterious. The other party almost immediately reacted that this was an accident, after all, their mission should be very easy, just to accompany the two of them to enjoy the mountains and rivers, which is a publicly-funded tour.

"Is there something new that can't happen?" Seeing that Lin Yu's face was not easy, they were also nervous.
