he master earns, that's his skill. Besides, haven't you noticed that life in our village has gotten better now Look at all these carts full of grain; it's all white rice!""Yeah!"Kong Liang's father lo...At his words, Kong Qiu's three disciples were instantly astonished and dismayed.

"Teacher, please don't!"

"Teacher, you are priceless! You can't take risks!"

"Teacher, three or four!"

Several people unanimously advised.

Kong Qiu simply said: "Every day, I hear from your mouths about the common people and the masses, about what is for the great state of Da Qian and for the world… What are the common people What is Da Qian These lives, these people, are Da Qian and the common people!"

"That's it then. If you don't want to, just go back."

Kǒng Qiū narrowed his eyes, waved his hand, and swept his gaze over the three of them before sighing, "You are different from my old man. You are decisive and ruthless. What matters to you is not your status or power, but becoming wealthy beyond imagination..."

But commoners are also human beings, and they need someone to stand up and protect them from the wind and rain!

Finally, Kong Qiu's gaze fell upon Yang Lin.

"Master, the disciple is willing to accompany you!" Chu Jie said hastily.

Ma Ruoyun and Yu Zhongye hurriedly nodded.

"Master, the disciple only wishes to prevent you from venturing into danger. If you insist on going, of course, the disciple will accompany you."

"Yes, Master. Since you are willing to risk your life for the people, your disciples will naturally not back down!"

Yang Lin is overjoyed.

The moment he stepped into the room, he could tell that this master and his disciples were extraordinary. He never expected them to be able to resolve such a major issue!

Yang Lin immediately clasped his hands together and said, "On behalf of these common people, I would like to express my gratitude to Mr. Kong!"

"Big Brother Zhong, please quickly call someone to prepare the wine and food. Mr. Kong and his disciples are our honored guests, so we must not neglect them!"

Zhong Tao was also overjoyed at this moment, and hurriedly nodded: "Yes, yes, I'll prepare right away!"

He never expected Yang Lin to solve the problem in this way!

In this way, not only would the five hundred people in Jianghe County be spared, but also the tens of thousands of people in the surrounding counties could save their lives!

Ma Ru Yun laughed heartily as she approached Yang Lin, saying: "Hee hee, little brother, you have a clever plan! You see that my master is kind and soft-hearted, unable to bear the suffering of the people. So you used the name of the people to appeal to him, truly a brilliant tactic!"

Yang Lin remained noncommittal and offered no explanation.

Even though Ma Ru Yun said this, the smile on her face didn't diminish, and she even shoved that ten thousand taels silver note into Yang Lin's hand.

"This is..."

Yang Lin couldn't help but be taken aback.

Ma Ru Yun smiled and said, "The paper business will be conducted as we just discussed: eight cents per sheet. You make as much as you can, and I'll buy it all! Regarding the business details, I will have someone contact Brother Yang later. Consider this ten thousand taels of silver as a deposit."

Just as Yang Lin was about to speak, Yu Zhong walked over from the side. He took out a golden badge engraved with a large "Zhong" character from his bosom and handed it to Yang Lin.

"Uh... Mr. Yu, this is..."

Yu Zhongxiao smiled: "Meeting you is fate. Brother Yang, although you are young, you understand the duty of serving the country and the people. Yu admires you very much! This token is a personal item of mine. Some officials recognize this token and will give me some face when they see it. Perhaps, brother, you may find it useful."

Yang Lin's eyes lit up.

Thank you, Mr.!

Ma Ruoyun laughed and chimed in, "Yang brother, what I said before still counts. My daughter is twenty-eight years old, proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, and song. She has been intelligent since childhood and is a perfect match for you younger brother. Little Yang, think it over again"

Han Mengzhu then crossed her arms, pouted her lips, and walked forward, provocatively saying to Ma Ruyun: "Uncle, I am the tenth wife of my husband, and my husband has an eleventh wife who hasn't moved in yet. If you really want your daughter to marry my husband, it's absolutely impossible for her to enter his family as a main wife. However, she can come over and be the twelfth wife of my husband!"

Upon hearing this, Kong Qiu and his disciples were all astonished. Ten wives Eleven wives

This kid, at such a young age, is already so infatuated with women

"Ahem, it's getting late, I won't disturb you any longer. Good night everyone."

Yang Lin's old face flushed red, he hurriedly accepted the ten thousand taels of silver note and the golden piece, cupped his hands, and left.

Out of the gate, Zhao Fugui was so excited he couldn't contain himself. He lowered his voice and asked Yang Lin, "Yang Lin, who are all these people inside They seem to be quite influential."

Yang Lin shook his head. "I have no idea who they are."

"What You don't know Then how did you purposely make me and Xiao Zhong stand in front of them and talk about requisitioning grain"

Yang Lin turned his head and looked at the brightly lit house, squinting his eyes and saying, "I just felt that they were unusual, so I wanted to test their mettle. Unexpectedly..."

"We got it right!"

"What should we do now" Zhao Fu貴 hurriedly asked.

"What can we do As long as they can help us with the conscription of men and grain, they are good people. We'll treat them to good wine and food!"

Just…

Yang Lin glanced around and couldn't help but frown slightly.

He only then noticed that Qingyi was gone!

Looking back, Yang Lin couldn't even remember when she left.

Seems like...

After entering that small courtyard, Qing Yi disappeared!

Li Yuyao specially asked Qingyi to protect her, and she had always been very responsible, never leaving her side with Ziyi. But what happened today

Yang Lin couldn't help but think of the four master and disciples.

Could it be related to them

At this time, within the courtyard.

As soon as Yang Lin and the others left, Yu Zhong turned to Ma Ruyun and said, “You really want to recruit this newly acquainted young man to be your son-in-law and inherit your family's millions of taels of wealth”

Ma Ruoyun nodded heavily.

Of course, Second Senior Brother wouldn't know that. I've always been good at judging people! This kid is brave, ambitious, and intelligent. Most importantly, he's very young!

Ma Ruoyun sighed deeply: "Both of you, think carefully. Over so many years, have we ever seen such an outstanding seedling"

And...

Ma Ru Yun smiled and said to Zhong Dao, “Besides, Second Senior Brother, aren’t you also interested in him Otherwise, how could you have given him such a precious thing as the Xiang Men secret order With the order, half of the officials in the world would have to give him face!”

Yu Zhong stroked his beard, neither denying nor confirming, but instead looked towards their teacher.

"Teacher, you wouldn't also have taken a liking to this boy, would you"

Upon hearing this, both Ma Ruoyun and Chu Jie were taken aback.

"Not bad!" Kong Qiu smiled, "He's a good prospect. What impressed me the most was his eyes, they are so unique! I plan to give him a test, if he passes, I will take him on as my last disciple."

Hearing the words "disciples who close the door," the three brothers were utterly shocked.

They all know what the closed-door disciple means.

Just then, the rarely talkative Chu Jie suddenly spoke up: "Have you noticed that when they first came in, there was a girl in blue behind that boy"ns were seen by Yang Lin.Yang Lin thought for a moment and said, "Uncle Shunzi, now that the steel has been successfully produced, the next step is to scale up production.""What"Zhao Shunzi and Li Yuy...
