Chapter 31 Glass for Fertile Land
The sun is setting, and twilight is gradually covering the land.
In the mottled shadows of the trees under the moonlight, Linjiazhuang was lively.
After agreeing on going to Jiangning City and group training, Lin Qing and Lin Yang rang the bronze bell in the village, and whenever this bell rang, the Lin clan would gather over, because the Lin clan was bound to have something big happening.
The bell rang no more than half a pillar of incense, and all the eight hundred Lin clans in Linjiazhuang had arrived.
In the light of the bonfire, Lin Qing said to the Lin clan: "All the Lin clansmen, today's dispute with the Han family can be resolved, all rely on Lin Mu to arrive in time, if he hadn't suppressed the Han family as a waiter in the Duanwang Mansion, I'm afraid that our Lin family's hundred acres of fertile land would not be able to be saved, if so, our clansmen will be even more sad in the future." “
After a pause, he continued: "Lin Mu's father was the patriarch of the Lin clan before his death, according to the ancestral teachings, Lin Mudang inherited the position of the patriarch of the Lin clan, I have discussed it with my third brother, and I think that Lin Mu is fully capable of being the patriarch of the Lin family and leading the clan to live a better life, so from today onwards, he is officially recognized as the patriarch of the Lin family." ”
Lin Qing's words fell, and there was a brief silence on the scene, and then a group of Lin clan disciples bowed to Lin Mu and said, "I've seen Patriarch Lin Mu!" “
"No courtesy." Lin Mu smiled, I have to say that Lin Qing's introduction just now was very scheming, focusing on his current official position, and mentioning the legitimacy of his inheritance of the patriarch, so that the Lin clan would have nothing to say.
After all, at present, the Lin family is the most promising Lin Mu, and this has the right to inherit and the future, so it is logical to inherit the position of the patriarch.
"Ladies and gentlemen, Lin will not talk about superfluous nonsense, from today on, you follow me Lin Mu, I will let you have meat to eat, silver and flowers, and no one can bully you." Lin Mu shouted loudly.
Hearing Lin Mu's impassioned promise, the children of the Lin family suddenly became happy, they first talked to each other in a low voice, and then they didn't know who started it, everyone shouted in unison: "There is meat to eat!" There is meat to eat......"
"Oh, Lin Mu, this kid has really changed a lot."
Seeing that the children of the Lin family were aroused by Lin Mu's simple words, Lin Qing's eyes were filled with relief.
Lin Yang said: "Sigh, this is a good thing, no matter how he changes, he is also a member of our Lin family." ”
"I'm happy." Lin Qing rolled his eyes.
As he was talking, he suddenly saw a group of people coming from the north, and when he got closer, he found that it was Han Qi, the county commander of He County.
Lin Mu also saw it, he asked the children of the Lin family to go back separately, and walked over with Lin Qing and Lin Yang.
"The lower officials and the county magistrate have seen Lin Shi speak." Han Qi saluted Lin Mu first.
Lin Mu returned the salute, "Han County is polite, it stands to reason that I, a seventh-grade official, should salute you, a seventh-grade official." “
"Lin Shi's words are wrong, the waiter is Duanwang's disciple, and the future is immeasurable, I, the seven-grade sesame official, will need Lin Shi's support in the future." Han Qi looked flattering.
Lin Mu doesn't eat Han Qi's set, there are very few officials in the Chinese Dynasty who are decent officials like Liu Jiangbai, but officials like Han Qi abound.
It was these low-level officials who corroded the foundation of the Hua Dynasty and made the people of the Hua Dynasty erosive and gradually went to ruin.
"Han County Ling is here so late, I don't know what's important?" Lin Mu was in no mood to chat with Han Qi.
Han Qi looked around for a moment and said, "There is a misunderstanding between the conflict between the Han family and the Lin family today. ”
"What do you understand, you have bullied our Lin family for more than a day or two, and the mu property that has encroached on our Lin family is not a hundred mu or two hundred mu, if you don't hand over the field property, don't talk about anything." Lin Yang said angrily.
"Third brother, don't be impulsive." Lin Qing glared at Lin Yang.
Han Qi's expression became more and more embarrassed, and he said to Lin Mu: "Lin Shi said, this is precisely for these things, you see, this is a signed title deed, and from now on, these disputed fields will belong to your Lin family." ”
Lin Yang wanted to say that this was originally the Lin family, but when he saw Lin Qing's eyes, he choked back the words.
Lin Mu, a member of the clan, has just taken office, he naturally wants to safeguard the interests of the whole clan, and took over Han Qi's land deed, Lin Mu said: "The Han County Order is really reasonable, our Lin family's land is already scarce, with these fields, there will be more people to fill their stomachs, but it is not enough to eat and drink, it is reported that the Han family has a yield of more than 10,000 mu in He County, I wonder if the Han County Order can sell some to our Lin family?" ”
"Lin Shi said this, and he saw the outside, and Han went back tonight to get the land deed, and it didn't hurt to give Lin Shi a hundred acres of fertile land." Han Qi's heart was dripping with blood, but his face was full of smiles.
Lin Mu had a pit on Han Qi, and he said: "Han County Order doesn't need to be nervous, Lin wants to buy 2,000 acres of real estate from the Han family." “
"Two thousand acres!" Han Qi was taken aback, these two thousand acres of land were realized into at least 40,000 taels of silver, which he couldn't give away in vain.
Lin Mu saw Han Qi's thoughts, and at this time, he magically took out a crystal clear blue bead and said, "This should be enough." “
Han Qi took the beads, and his eyes suddenly emitted a greedy light, and he said: "Enough, enough, tomorrow Han will bring the two thousand acres of land deed." “
Lin Qing and Lin Yang were surprised when they saw the treasure that Lin Mu took out, in their opinion, this transparent bead was priceless.
Taking the beads back, Lin Mu said: "Since this is the case, then Lin will wait for the order of Han County." “
After looking at the jewel greedily again, Han Qi left Linjiazhuang with the guards.
"Da Lang, you can't say that this thing is a priceless treasure, why can you take it out and exchange it for 2,000 acres of land." Lin Yang was distressed.
Lin Mu laughed, "Second uncle, third uncle, don't get excited, this is just a glass ball, in the West, this thing is not worth a few silver." ”
"Huh?" The two were stunned when they heard this.
Lin Mu played with the egg-sized glass ball, although the West can produce the glass ball at present, but this blue glass ball cannot be made with their current technology, so he is not worried about this glass ball being dismantled in a short time. Han Qi can only use this thing as a treasure.
And he has no good impression of corrupt officials like Han Qi, and he has no psychological pressure to fool them with glass balls.
Moreover, for a corrupt official like Han Qi, he will only use the glass ball to bribe a bigger corrupt official for promotion, so this glass ball will basically only go back and forth between corrupt officials, and will not produce actual value, which is also what he is happy to see.
The next day, Han Qi really came to the door with 2,000 acres of land deed as promised, Lin Mu gave the glass ball to Han Qi, and asked Lin Qing and Lin Yang to divide the land to the clansmen, and recruit displaced people to cultivate the surplus land.
After doing this, Lin Mu was basically popular in the Lin family, and in the afternoon of the same day, he took Lin Qing and Lin Yang back to Jiangning City.
Now that he has enough manpower, he can finally expand his business in a big way.
