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

While Lin Kunlun was leisurely tasting the mellow and profound tea served by Sun Ying, Sun Ying was walking alone in the quiet secret room on the second floor. His eyes were as sharp as an eagle, staring at the account book in his hand, as if he wanted to explore the secrets hidden in the dense handwriting. The handwriting on the account book seemed to have life, jumping and flickering on the paper, silently telling a series of little-known transactions.

Sun Ying frowned slightly, and an inexplicable wave of emotion surged in his heart. He had never expected that Chen Jun, who seemed unruly on weekdays, would show such extraordinary means in the business world. He was able to raise such a large amount of food in such a short period of time. This ability underestimated him. Sun Ying was secretly surprised. He had not expected Chen Jun to suddenly propose a deal.

He gently stroked the edge of the account book, as if he was exploring Chen Jun's inner world. He thought to himself: "Tell me, does he want my brothel or my casino?" Sun Ying's tone revealed a bit of amusement, as if he was appreciating a carefully planned chess game.

The subordinate standing by replied respectfully, "Boss, as far as I know, these grains were carefully stored by Chen Jun in the county. It seems that he has been coveting the casino and brothel business for a long time, and he is just waiting for the right time to take them over in one fell swoop."

Sun Ying smiled meaningfully when he heard this. He knew that there must be deeper calculations and competitions behind this deal. And he had already prepared for it. At this moment, he already knew the current situation of the Dakun Dynasty. Troubled times were coming, and food and money would become the most precious resources. With food, he could recruit a large number of people to protect his safety, and even form a team.

An idea quietly grew in Sun Ying's mind, but he never said it out loud. That was that the throne would be passed down from generation to generation. Since the Dakun Dynasty had become so corrupt, why couldn't he, Sun Ying, fight for the throne? Even if he couldn't sit on the throne, he could still ennoble his wife and son, and be made a marquis and a prime minister.

"In that case! Take people to receive the food today!" Sun Ying said with a smile, his eyes flashing with determination and decisiveness. He knew that hoarding food would be the hard currency in the future, and only people like Chen Jun could not see the current situation clearly.

"Boss, do we really have to give all of this away?" the reporting subordinate asked cautiously, with a look of worry on his face.

"You should take a long-term view!" Sun Ying said calmly, "Look at the current price of grain. I tell you, by the time of autumn harvest, if it is confirmed that there is no grain production, the price of grain will rise! By then, it will easily increase several times! Are you afraid that your brothers will have nothing to eat?"

Sun Ying's words were full of confidence and calmness. After listening to Lin Kunlun's advice, he felt that it made sense. Moreover, he felt that with food, he would be able to cope with the chaos that might come next. He stood in front of the window, looking into the distance, with a surge of ambition in his heart. He knew that his future would shine brightly in this chaotic world.

At this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps broke the silence of the secret room. Someone came upstairs to report: "Boss! Someone outside wants to see you!"

Sun Ying frowned slightly and said unhappily: "Who? Didn't I tell you not to let anyone come to see you? All of you come up and report!" In his current position, there are always some people who think they have some face and want to buy on credit or seek shelter here. Naturally, he will not give face to everyone.

The subordinate was shocked when he saw Sun Ying's unhappy look, and answered cautiously: "Boss, that man said he had an agreement with you."

"Oh?" Sun Ying raised his eyebrows, showing some interest. "Who is it?"

"He said his name is Lin Kunlun!" the subordinate replied.

Sun Ying's eyes flashed when he heard this. He immediately put down the account book in his hand, turned around and walked out the door, and ordered: "Please come in!" But he thought to himself: Lin Kunlun. That brat from Qinghe Village. This kid doesn't look simple. If he hadn't reminded me, I wouldn't have thought of storing some food as soon as possible. What on earth did this kid come to find me at this time?

Sun Ying walked out of the room where he rested quickly, his heart full of doubts and expectations. The name Lin Kunlun had left a deep impression on him since the last time they met. Although the boy was just an ordinary villager in Qinghe Village, his words and deeds revealed an extraordinary temperament, as if he had wisdom and knowledge beyond ordinary people.

At this moment, Lin Kunlun was already standing in the hall on the second floor. His eyes were deep and bright, as if he could see into people's hearts. Sun Ying came forward, bowed and smiled, "Brother Lin, long time no see. I wonder what brings you here today?"

Lin Kunlun smiled slightly and said in return, "Brother Sun, you are too polite. I came here today to discuss something with you."

Sun Ying signaled his men to leave, and personally poured a cup of tea for Lin Kunlun, and the two sat down as host and guest. Lin Kunlun took a sip of tea and slowly explained his purpose: "Brother Sun, the Great Kun Dynasty is now in turmoil, and troubled times are coming. I know that you are a man of insight and can see the current situation clearly. I came here today to seek refuge with Brother Sun, and I am willing to follow Brother Sun's lead and build a great business together in the future."

Sun Ying was moved when he heard this, but he remained calm on the surface and just said lightly: "Oh? I'd like to hear more about it."

Lin Kunlun put down his teacup and said seriously, "Brother Sun, you already have a large amount of food, which is the root of troubled times. Brother Sun, I think you should start collecting food now! But collecting food at this time is a bit dangerous! After all, if the court wants to levy taxes, the county will first think of you who have cash and food. I have a plan to avoid this trouble."

Sun Ying's eyes flashed with a gleam of light, and he asked, "What's the plan?"

"I wonder if Brother Sun has already exchanged all of his fixed assets such as casinos and brothels for food?" Although Lin Kunlun noticed that Sun Ying had already taken action, he didn't know how far he had progressed.

"Brother Lin also understands that I won't hide anything! To be honest, I'm not afraid of you telling others! I have mortgaged all the casinos and brothels to Chen Jun, the son of Chen County Magistrate in our county! Today, I can take over the first batch of grain! I think all the grain will be in place in the next few days!" Sun Ying was not afraid. What was Lin Kunlun planning? After all, Lin Kunlun had no one and no power. It was impossible for him to be threatened.

"The problem now is how to hide the grain without arousing suspicion from the county magistrate and others!" Lin Kunlun said with a smile.

"This is indeed a problem! I'm thinking whether to create a fake fire! Pretend to burn all the food! But the food needs to be hidden in a safe place!" Sun Ying didn't know why he trusted Lin Kunlun so much. He told him his plan in front of him. This was actually because Lin Kunlun had the fairy jade gourd. The faint spiritual energy emanating from the fairy jade gourd nourished Lin Kunlun. It also made people close to him feel incomparable trust. However, this influence was unconscious, so that the affected person was completely unaware.

"Although this plan sounds good, it doesn't stand up to scrutiny. And if the county wants to investigate, even if you use other things instead of grain to burn it, the traces after burning will clearly show whether it is real grain! If they find out that the burned things are fake, the consequences can be imagined!"

After all, Sun Ying was just a gangster leader who got ahead by relying on his connections with people in the county government. When it came to such a big plan, there were still many shortcomings.

"Brother Lin, what should we do? I hope Brother Lin can give me some guidance! In the future, as long as I have something to eat, Brother Lin will not be hungry!" Sun Ying was influenced by Lin Kun unknowingly.

"I heard that a robbery occurred in the county town yesterday! The robbers were planning to rob the Chen family's grain shop!" Lin Kunlun said with a smile at this time.

Sun Ying didn't know why Lin Kunlun suddenly mentioned that someone had stolen food yesterday.

"Yes! Yesterday, there were indeed a few blind people who robbed the Chen family's grain store! Don't they want to rob the Chen family's backers at will? Brother Lin, what do you mean?"

"Isn't this a good idea?" Lin Kunlun said with a smile.
