res, made his heart surge with emotion."Ahem!""After a long day, aren't you tired Go to sleep.""Little Seven, Little Eight, and Little Nine sleep in the bed, the rest of you sleep with me on the straw...Yang Lin said, "Don't worry everyone, listen to me. You all should know that my family has been making tofu recently, so I want to hire a few workers. It's five cash per day. After you borrow the money, you can work to pay it off."

"Those in need of a loan, come here."

Under Yang Lin's instruction, Xiao Qi and Xiao Ba brought over a table. Xiao Jiu took out an account book and a large bag of copper coins, preparing to keep track of the accounts.

Seeing this scene, the villagers were utterly shocked.

>Yang Lin, are you serious

Can work offset debt

And only five cents a day

You should know, the head worker in Liu's landlord's family only earns eighty wen a month!

In Yang Lin's place, he earned half a month's wages for Liu the landlord.

All the villagers crowded around in an instant.

"I borrow, I borrow!"

"I borrowed two hundred wen."

"I borrowed three hundred wen!"

"No interest at all"

“I borrowed one hundred and fifty wen……”

After you've paid off your debt, will you still be able to work here

The villagers were chattering amongst themselves, crowding together.

Yang Lin maintained order while answering the villagers' questions.

"Don't worry, everyone. I have a lot of work to do. As long as I want to, after paying off my debts, I can still stay and work here."

"And working here, only ten hours a day... oh, I mean five hours!"

And after three months, the pay doubles!

As soon as Yang Lin spoke, the villagers became even more excited.

At Liu the landowner's house, one had to work seven hours a day. Work began at sunrise and lasted until sunset. When taking a break, one would be cursed by the steward, or even beaten.

And Yang Lin only needed five hours for this This isn't work, it's simply enjoying oneself!

The person who borrowed the money rushed to Yang Lin's side, thanking him profusely and visibly overjoyed.

And Yang Lin also directly announced that he would go to the landlord Liu's house to pay back the money and immediately start work! Although half a day has passed today, it is still counted as five cents today.

The villagers became even more excited.

After a while, everyone got their wish and received the money. Xiao Jiu's ledger was also full of entries.

There were a total of twenty-three people, and a total of five thousand eight hundred wen were lent out.

Little Nine closed his account book and said.

Hearing this number, Wang Gui, who was already filled with guilt beside him, couldn't raise his head at all.

Yang Lin owes so much money because it's all his own fault.

But he was also curious where Yang Lin got so much money from.

"Very good."

Yang Lin smiled and nodded.

Looking at Wang Gui, who was still looking guilty, Yang Lin said, "Uncle Wang, you don't have to blame yourself. This isn't your fault. We are all neighbors and friends. When someone is in trouble, how can I not help"

He not only didn't blame Wang Gui, but even wanted to thank him.

The labor force in this era is incredibly cheap!

Yang Lin had long thought about hiring someone to do work, but everyone was a neighbor and acquaintance, and he didn't feel comfortable asking them directly.

And today, the villagers came to borrow money, and he just took the opportunity to get his hiring done.

At this moment, in Liu Youcai's house, facing these villagers who had come to pay back their debts, both Liu Youcai and his son were a little dumbfounded.

What's going on

Where did these mud legs get their money

They are all ready, and they have taken the deeds to their land from the villagers.

How did they suddenly have enough money to pay off their debts

Not only that, they also noticed that these villagers who had paid off their debts looked very excited on their faces, as if something good was waiting for them.

Even though they hate with all their might, there is nothing they can do about it.

There is no wall that wind cannot penetrate. Without much effort, the Liu family learned that Yang Lin had lent money to the villagers, and they were even angrier.

"Dad, Yang Lin is deliberately trying to make trouble for us! Should I bring people over to teach him a lesson" Liu Liang gritted his teeth.

Liu Youcai frowned and said, "Hmph! A poor student can't make any waves. I'm just curious where he got so much money."

"Oh, where did Yang Lin get so much money" Liu Liang only just reacted.

Liu Youcai muttered to himself, "Could it be that he's making money by selling tofu"

Liu Liang immediately shook his head: "How is that possible! I heard that the cost of tofu is two cents, he wouldn't make any money making tofu at all."

Liu Youcai nodded: "Yang Lin, that fellow, always talks about Confucian classics. He wouldn't lie! This is really strange! Son, go find out what's going on."

"Don't worry, Dad! If there are any money-making schemes, I'll definitely pry them out of his mouth!" Liu Liang gritted his teeth fiercely.

Soon, the villagers who had paid off their debts came back excitedly, found Yang Lin, and were ready to work.

Yang Lin wasted no time and got right to work.

"Uncle Wang, you take three people to help out; the rest of you go up the mountain to chop wood and split firewood."

Just that

The villagers were all incredulous after hearing Yang Lin's assigned task.

This is a job that only costs five cents a day, and it's so easy

After the villagers left, Yang Lin also took Xiao Qi, Xiao Ba, and Xiao Jiu out of the village.

Koushan Village is surrounded by mountains on two sides. Behind it stands a bare, rocky mountain, while in front lies a lush, primeval forest. Several mountain springs flow down the slopes and converge into a small river that winds along the village before flowing far away.

The little river is only a hundred meters away from the village. Villagers use it to wash their clothes, draw water, and irrigate their crops. Everyone in this mountain village is familiar with this place.

Yang Lin brought three little girls to the riverbank, asking Xia Qi and Xia Ba to find some sticks and branches. They wandered around, measuring things randomly, and after a while, they went back.

Until they returned to the village, Xiaoqi and Xiaoba were still baffled and had no idea why Yanglin had taken them on such a wild goose chase all day.

The next afternoon, the things I had given Wang Gui to make were finished.

Yang Lin directed everyone, moving this large object from Wang Gui's house to the riverbank.

Upon hearing the commotion, many people came to see what was happening. They saw something that none of them had ever seen before being carried in, and the villagers were all curious.

Li Yuyao frowned, standing with the other women and watching Yang Lin direct the village men. They were struggling to erect this massive wooden structure by the riverbank. A wheel-shaped paddle was installed on it, and as the water current pushed against it, it actually began to turn...

Li Yuxiang suddenly realized.

Oh my god!

"He actually..."

Thinking about her own guess, Li Yuyao was shocked.

As expected, Yang Lin soon had someone bring over a grinding wheel. After finding the right spot, he connected this slightly modified grinding wheel to the huge waterwheel...

A miracle happened!

"Oh oh oh, it's turning, the grinding disc is turning!"

"My goodness, the turntable is moving on its own!"

"He's still so fast!"

Wang Gui was completely dumbfounded. He rubbed his eyes hard, staring in disbelief at the scene before him. He couldn't believe that such a magical thing had been created by him with the dashing figure of that day at all."Li Yuxiang couldn't help but sigh in her heart.Liao Hongying, whom I met today, was very impressive and striking.And here before me stood Liao Hongying, dr...
