Chapter Ninety-Two: Sending Warmth to the Countryside
Almighty Cultivation Supreme
In the end, in addition to the iron pillar, only Lao Yang chose to swallow the Lei Tribulation Pill, Xiao Mu was still young, and several people did not agree with her swallowing this pill, as for the old housekeeper, he already had the cultivation of the peak of the Martial Saint at this time, but there was no need to work so hard.
"It's a pity. Lin Xi put away the remaining pills, and showed a look of pity on his face, but he didn't know if it was a pity that everyone missed such an opportunity, or because he felt pity because he didn't see Hong Yi's performance after swallowing the pill.
"By the way, Hong Yi, the previous few scriptures, you can cultivate casually, you don't have to hide them, you can pass them on when you meet the right people, cultivate more subordinates, if you want to fight against Hong Xuanji, you can't do it without your own power!" Lin Xi casually suggested.
"Brother Lin is really a reasonable person, so thank you Brother Lin!" Hong Yi hugged his fists and thanked him.
"Okay, you just came back, there must be a lot of things to deal with, let's go back and get busy first, it's almost the New Year, let's get together again after the New Year!" Seeing that it was not too early, Lin Xi issued an eviction order, and it was estimated that Hong Yi at this time was already like an arrow.
Sure enough, after hearing Lin Xi say this, Hong Yi arched his hand to everyone, walked out of the door, rode on a big horse and left outside the city with Zen silver yarn, indeed as Lin Xi said, he still has a lot of things to deal with, at least those subordinates who came to Yujing City with him are still waiting for him outside the city.
"Young master, it's almost the New Year, and our Lin Mansion should also prepare some New Year's goods!" After Hong Yi and his wife left, the old housekeeper said to Lin Xi.
"Well, you can take care of these things, come to me if you don't have enough money, the last thing our Lin Mansion lacks is money!" Lin Xi made a casual move, and suddenly a large handful of gold coins appeared in his hand and handed them to the butler.
"By the way, young master, although our Lin family has declined before, and has sold a lot of family property, but outside the city, there are still hundreds of acres of fertile land, which have been cultivated by nearly 100 tenant farmers before, this is about to end the year, in the past, at this time, the lord would visit them and send them some winter items, is the young master going to go this year?"
"Naturally, I want to go, by the way, when you buy New Year's goods, buy more winter items such as rice and flour, quilts, etc., and wait for tomorrow, hire a few more carriages, let's go outside the city to see those tenants, it's the New Year, let's eat meat, we always have to let them get some light, right?" Lin Xi said with a smile.
"Young Master is benevolent and righteous!" The old housekeeper didn't say anything, but the three of them suddenly became excited, they were all natives of the peasant family before, and now they were moved when they saw their master treating the tenants so kindly.
Lin Xi smiled, "In the future, this will be a routine, even if I am not at home in the future, every New Year, you will have to do this, and you may be able to save a few more people." ”
"Obey the young master's orders!" everyone nodded solemnly.
......
The next day, early in the morning.
The sky was just slightly bright, there were seven or eight carriages, gathered at the door of the Lin Mansion, a young man from the mansion in and out, constantly from the warehouse of the Lin Mansion carrying quilts, rice noodles and other items into the carriage, although the weather was cold, but everyone was busy in full swing, all of them were dripping with fine sweat, and a stream of heat came out from the top of everyone's heads.
"The movements are all lighter, don't disturb the young master and young lady to rest. ”
"By the way, Erniu, the quilts should be placed neatly, otherwise we won't be able to let go of hundreds of quilts. ”
"Dog, don't be lazy, move quickly, do you still want the salary of one or two?"
.......
Under the command of the old butler, the sun had just risen, and a lot of items had been prepared, and after distributing the wages to a few hired boys, Lao Shen and the others had already bought breakfast, hot buns, and drank a large bowl of Hu spicy soup.
"Steward Wang, we have been driving the carriage for a few years, or your Lin Mansion is the best for us to be bitter, not only to pay for the carriage and horses, but also to work extra and silver taels, this early in the morning also to take care of the rice, this xiaolongbao Hu spicy soup, we are reluctant to eat once a month." A stout young man was drinking the soup and eating the buns in a big gulp, looking very satisfied.
"That's right, to work for other families, not only do not give money, but also try to deduct our car and horse fares, compared with them, the Lin family is really benevolent. Someone nodded in agreement.
"Okay, don't shoot the fart, today our young master and young lady are going to the outside of the city to comfort the tenants, you all have a little more eyes along the way, don't talk nonsense, annoy the young master, I will really deduct your wages!" the old housekeeper smiled and admonished everyone.
"Don't worry, we know what we do, and we won't embarrass you!" someone responded.
Just as the housekeeper was talking to everyone, the door of the inner house was opened, and Lin Xi and Lin Ruo walked out of the inside, looked at the weather that the wind and snow were fading, and nodded with satisfaction.
"It seems that the snow will stop today, let's just go outside the city, and it doesn't matter. ”
The housekeeper and the others hurriedly stood up and saluted, as for those young coachmen, where had they seen such fairy-like characters as Lin Xi and Lin Ruo, they stood in place one by one, not knowing what to say.
"Young Master, I've already prepared breakfast for you, do you want to go back to the house to eat some?" asked Xiao Mu in a low voice with some food.
"No need, we have already eaten, if everyone has eaten well, then let's go, today's itinerary is still relatively tight!" Lin Xi smiled and nodded with everyone.
"All right, boys, cheer up, it's time for us to go! The road is slippery in the snow, so be careful on the road!" the old butler beckoned.
Needless to say, a group of strong young men got into the carriage one by one, brandished their whips, and began to walk slowly out of the street.
"Young Master, get in the carriage!"
Lin Xi nodded, and the two of them got into the most spacious carriage, and with the shouts of the old butler, the convoy slowly drove away and rushed out of the city.
"Young master, our Lin family's field is located in Gudao Village, twenty miles away from the south gate of Yujing City, and is rented by nearly 100 families in the village. Sitting in front of the carriage, the old housekeeper led the way while introducing the situation to Lin Xi.
"In that Gudao Village, in addition to the fields that our Lin Mansion has, whose land is there?"
"In addition to our Lin Mansion, there are also the land of the Zhenbei Hou Mansion and the Champion Hou Mansion, which are next to us, in the past two years, these two families have been trying to buy our land deeds, and they will not stop until at least after the master understands the Yuan in the examination. ”
Hearing the introduction of the old housekeeper, Lin Xi nodded, this is normal, a lonely family's good land, everyone wants a piece of the pie, but these two families are still knowledgeable, knowing that he Lin Xizhong understands Yuan, and becoming a jinshi in the future is basically a sure thing, but he didn't dare to offend the Lin family again.
