In the famine, others ate Guanyin soil, but he had space to build a farm.

Lin Kunlun smiled and said, "Okay! In that case, I won't hide it from you, Grandpa Sun. The current situation! It is obvious that food will be the real hard currency for a long time to come! By then, even gold won't be able to buy it! What if Grandpa Sun can use most of his wealth to store food?"

Sun Ying frowned and said, "Are you saying this matter is related to the court's taxation?"

Lin Kunlun was slightly stunned. He didn't expect that Sun Ying could guess this.

He nodded and said, "Exactly. If you hoard a lot of grain over the years, everyone will definitely guess that Grandpa Sun wants to make a fortune. Then we will hoard the grain somewhere else. Then we will start a fire to burn the fake grain. In this way, everyone in the county will know whether Grandpa Sun has hoarded grain and almost lost all the money. Even if they want to collect taxes from you, they won't be able to collect much. After a while, we will slowly transfer the grain out, or sell it in other counties. The profit..."

Lin Kunlun didn't finish his words, but Sun Ying already understood what he wanted to express.

Sun Ying's eyes suddenly lit up!

He actually had a premonition that the drought would cause problems sooner or later! And it was obvious that it had already affected his business! After all, the drought still affected the income of gamblers and the like! But he didn't expect that the tax would affect him. But now I think what the kid said is not unreasonable.

"The method you mentioned is not impossible! But have you ever thought about who are the people selling grain? Those who deal in grain in the county are all relatives of officials in the county government! All the grain in Xishan County is managed by Chen Jun, the son of County Magistrate Chen! If I rashly intervene, I'm afraid he won't be willing!" Sun Ying said to Lin Kunlun!

"It would be difficult for you to get involved at normal times! But now is a time of drought! They can understand that you want to make a fortune from it! This way they won't be so wary! And your industries probably make more money than food. If you exchange those industries with them, I think they will definitely let you participate!" Lin Kunlun said with a smile.

"Although I earn less from these businesses now, I am still making a fortune! Why should I take such a big risk? At most I can lose half of it and pay taxes to the modern world!" Sun Ying said with a smile. It was as if Lin Kunlun had brought it up, and he didn't care at all.

"Then Master Sun, have you ever considered another situation! If the imperial court really imposes taxes by force, how many people can afford to pay? What will happen to those who cannot pay taxes or are almost starving to death? Why was the Dakun Dynasty able to overthrow the previous dynasty? To a large extent, it was because the previous dynasty had been exploiting the people! The people could not survive and spontaneously rose up in resistance! If taxes are imposed regardless of the drought, you can imagine the consequences! By then, Master Sun's restaurants and casinos will probably become ruins!" Lin Kunlun spoke in a low voice, trying not to be heard by those outside.

Sun Ying was in the gray industry. He paid the most attention to the news from the court. If an official was suddenly replaced, he might be sent to jail. So he had a clear understanding of the court's policies. Naturally, he also heard from the county government that taxes might be levied. At first, he thought it had nothing to do with him, and it would just cost him money. Now, if taxes were imposed, these villagers who had been out of food for a long time might really take risks. And in order to collect taxes, Mr. Xie would most likely take someone like him as a scapegoat. After all, people like him who had no family background were the easiest to target. The children or collateral branches of those big families were not something the county could easily touch.

Sun Ying's face became solemn. He was silent for a long time before he slowly spoke: "Kunlun, you are right. I am indeed a little short-sighted. If the court really imposes taxes by force, the people who cannot pay taxes will probably do something extreme. At that time, I am afraid that my industries will be difficult to preserve."

Lin Kunlun nodded and continued, "Grandpa Sun, now is a good time for us to make plans. If we can quietly stockpile some grain during the drought, we will not only be able to cope with the possible tax pressure, but also make a lot of profit after the disaster. As for the officials behind the grain shops, we just need to be careful and not conflict with them directly. I believe they will not make things too difficult for us."

Sun Ying's eyes gleamed, he patted Lin Kunlun on the shoulder and said, "Kunlun, you are right. I will arrange for people to start stockpiling food. As for the officials behind the grain shops, I will also send people to find out what they are doing."

Lin Kunlun smiled slightly and said, "Grandpa Sun is wise. However, we still need to pay attention to one thing, that is, confidentiality. Once this matter is leaked, it may cause unnecessary trouble."

Sun Ying nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will pay attention. Kunlun, you have helped me a lot this time. After this matter is over, I will definitely thank you."

Lin Kunlun waved his hand and said, "Grandpa Sun, you are too polite. We are partners now, and it is only natural for us to help each other. Moreover, I also hope to make a name for myself in Xishan County with the help of Grandpa Sun."

The two smiled at each other, their eyes full of expectations for the future.

In fact, the two people did not say the real reason. That is, if such a chaotic world really appeared, whoever had the food in his hands could easily pull out a group of people! Sun Ying did not think about it at first, but after Lin Kunlun's reminder, he did feel that he should have made preparations early.

"This time he is my man, sorry to bother you brother! Here are 50 taels of silver as compensation to you! But if I need Brother Lin in the future, I hope you will help me!" Sun Ying smiled and took out 50 taels of silver and put them on the table.

"Then I will respectfully obey your command!" Lin Kunlun put the silver away and nodded.

After Sun Ying left, Lin Da, Lin Er and others dared to enter the room.

"Third brother! There won't be any trouble in the future, right?" Lin Dashan and the others didn't know what Lin Kunlun talked about with this grandpa.

"Don't worry, he will never trouble us again! And maybe we can do business with him in the future!" Lin Kunlun smiled and put away the 50 taels. The reason why he encouraged this voice to hoard food was to prepare for the chaos that might occur in the future. If the Dakun Dynasty could mobilize food to the west for disaster relief, these villagers could barely survive with food, and none of this would happen. The food hoarded by Sun Ying was a huge fortune.

On the other hand, if the imperial court insisted on collecting taxes in the west, the entire west would be in chaos. The grain that Sun Ying hoarded was the foundation for raising an army.

You have to know that Lin Kunlun is now penniless. If he wants to survive in the chaos that may come, he must form a team or join a powerful force. But if he wants to join a powerful force, if he does not have the capital, he can only become cannon fodder for others. So he set his sights on the voice.

Based on his experience in investing in modern society, Sun Ying is worth investing in for now. At least Sun Ying can help him earn the first start-up capital.

Next, he would try to get close to Sun Ying and find out where his food is. It would be best to instigate the voice and hide the food in a certain mountain under various excuses. Then he could use the space to collect the food without anyone noticing. Anyway, Sun Ying's wealth was obtained by doing those evil deeds.

"I just hope that all these preparations of mine will never be used! I'd rather be a dog in peacetime than a human in troubled times! Even if there is a drought, I can keep my family alive! But when troubled times come, I'm not sure!" Lin Kunlun thought secretly in his heart.

"Third brother! How did you talk to them? These people will never bother us again!" Boss Lin saw with his own eyes that Lin Kunlun released the wild boar and other people who were captured.

"Don't worry! Look at this! This is the compensation their boss gave me!" Lin Kunlun pointed to the 50-tael silver ingot on the table.

"Is this from Grandpa Sun?" Lin Dashan was surprised when he saw it. He had never seen 50 taels of silver before.

"Well, big brother and second brother! It's a good time for us to go to the county town! Buy some food. I guess there won't be any food left in the town!" Lin Kunlun had the 50 taels of silver and wanted to buy some food and find out about the situation in the county.

The county town is more than 50 miles away from their village, so it takes half a day to go there one way, which is much farther than going to the town.
