In the famine, others ate Guanyin soil, but he had space to build a farm.
Chapter 74 Making a Plan
Lin Kunlun's premonition was as accurate as a prophecy. The notice of grain collection was like a bolt from the blue, exploding over the county town and causing a thousand waves. As soon as the notice was posted, the county town was immediately in a state of panic.
The wealthy families who usually lived in luxury and debauchery also looked worried at this moment, as they knew that this grain collection was no small matter and that if they were not careful, their families might fall into poverty. The ordinary residents who worked hard were even more pale-faced, as they were already living in poverty and now had to bear this heavy tax, and an indescribable despair welled up in their hearts.
On the streets of the county town, people were talking about the situation and were worried. Ordinary residents looked at each other, their eyes revealing confusion and fear about the future. They were filled with a kind of helplessness and despair, as if they saw a miserable future where they would work hard but still not be able to fill their stomachs.
The more affluent families, though still calm and composed on the surface, were actually in turmoil deep down. They knew that this grain collection was no joke and that if they were not careful, they might lose everything. They began to discuss countermeasures in secret, trying to find a way to protect their family interests while coping with the government's grain collection.
Sun Ying, as one of the people with the most grain in the county, was secretly glad in his heart. He became more and more convinced of Lin Kunlun's foresight and plan. He thought to himself: "I didn't expect that this Lin had guessed it! I'm afraid the county will soon come to the big families in the county and ask them to find a way to donate grain!" Thinking of this, he couldn't help but laugh.
According to their plan, he would arrange for people to pretend to be bandits in Qinglong Mountain tomorrow night and transfer all the food. Now, all he needed to do was delay for one day.
"Wild Boar, go inform Lin Kunlun and ask him to come over quickly!" Sun Ying said to the wild boar who had been to Lin Kunlun's house before, "Just tell him that I have something important to discuss with him!"
Upon hearing this, the wild boar hesitated and said, "Boss, it's not a good idea for me to go! It will cause misunderstandings among the villagers and I'm afraid there will be another fight!" He told the truth that he had never been afraid of fighting, but now it was obvious that the boss had cooperated with Lin Kunlun, and he didn't dare to fight with them.
Sun Ying shook his hands impatiently and said, "Look at how useless you are! You can just ask any one of the people who went with you that day to go!" He was anxious and just wanted to discuss countermeasures with Lin Kunlun as soon as possible to deal with the upcoming grain collection crisis.
Just when he was about to send someone to Qinghe Village to find Lin Kunlun. You may have come to the front of the yard where he lives. Since giving the casino to Chen Jun, Sun Ying moved to this three-entry yard.
"Boss! Mr. Lin from last time is here again!" At this time, a younger brother who was guarding the gate of the yard ran in to report.
"Lin Kunlun is here! He arrived just in time, let him in quickly!"
Upon hearing the news, Sun Ying's face showed joy and he hurriedly gave orders.
Not long after, Lin Kunlun walked into the three-story courtyard. As soon as he stepped into the courtyard, a burst of fragrance hit his nose, which made him feel refreshed. He looked up at the osmanthus tree in the middle of the courtyard, his eyes flashing.
The osmanthus tree was about four feet tall, with lush branches and leaves. Each leaf looked like golden jade, emitting a soft luster. The fragrance of osmanthus filled the entire courtyard, refreshing and intoxicating. Lin Kunlun couldn't help but exclaimed: "What a beautiful view, what a beautiful osmanthus tree!"
What actually surprised Lin Kunlun was that it was a time of severe drought. If no one took good care of the osmanthus tree, it would not have bloomed so many flowers. Many trees on the mountain were dying.
"Haha, I didn't expect Brother Lin to be a flower lover." Sun Ying heard this and walked out with a smile. To be honest, the flowers he planted in his yard were just for the sake of being refined. People like him who have never been to school and hang out outside hate it most when others say they are uneducated. So he also imitated those. The mansions of wealthy families planted a lot of flowers at home.
"Haha! Boss Sun! To be honest, I'm just an ordinary farmer in the mountains! I can't appreciate these flowers! But this osmanthus is really fragrant! If it can be made into osmanthus tea, it would be good!" Lin Kunlun said with a smile.
"Brother Lin, aren't you worried at all? Now that the tax collection notice has been posted, I'm afraid someone will come to your village to collect taxes soon. I'm afraid not many people in your village can afford to pay the taxes!" Sun Ying looked at Lin Kunlun and asked curiously.
To be honest, Lin Kunlun was still thinking about whether he could help other people in the village to get over this matter. After all, if the taxes could not be paid, the yamen runners could confiscate the family's property, or even arrest people to do some hard labor to offset the taxes.
No matter what the situation is, it is a huge blow to the villagers. But after experiencing the situation yesterday when those people surrounded his house and asked for food. Although many people did not ask for food directly like Old Man Qian did. But they did not stop Old Man Qian and showed their intentions. Lin Kunlun really knew that even in this ancient feudal society, people in the same village were not so united. What he had to do was to ensure the safety of his family. As for others, it depends on his mood.
"The law cannot hold everyone responsible in this situation! The entire western region from south to north is suffering from the disaster, especially the northwest. I heard that even the bark and roots of the trees have been eaten up. It may not be easy for the court to collect taxes! So the local governments should collect as much as they can! I think the ones we should really worry about are the big families like you, Boss Sun! I'm afraid the people in the county government have already calculated how much grain you should donate?" Lin Kunlun said with a smile.
"You are quite open-minded! Indeed, I am worried about this matter! It seems that we should start preparing our plan!" Sun Ying nodded.
"Boss Sun, in order not to arouse suspicion, you'd better delay it for the next two days. We will start the action tomorrow night! I wonder if Boss Sun has found a place to store the food?" Lin Kunlun asked about the details at this time.
"I've found it! I plan to store the food in Kaoshan Village! That village is in the mountains! It's even more remote than your Qinghe Village! The most important thing is that there is no one else in that village except my family! Even if someone finds out, no one dares to tell anyone!" Sun Ying said confidently.
"That would be the best! I wonder which brother Boss Sun will arrange to pretend to be a member of Qinglong Village! It would be best if it is someone who is not very noticeable in the county! Brothers like the Wild Boar are not suitable, after all, they attract too much attention!" Lin Kunlun nodded.
"Don't worry about that! I found a few people who rarely show up! The wild boars will cooperate with us when the time comes! Just pretend to be defeated by them!" Sun Ying said with a smile!
"Boss Sun, aren't you really worried about being discovered by the people in the county government?" Lin Kunlun couldn't help but ask as he looked at his smug look.
"Haha! Not to mention that the Emperor Chongming is far away and has no control over here! Just like what you said just now, the law cannot hold everyone responsible! As far as I know, some refugees in the northwest have started to rob houses! So the county doesn't dare to push too hard!" Sun Ying was well-informed.
"Well, then we will proceed according to the plan! As long as Boss Sun has control of the food, we can move forward and backward freely from now on!"
"This is all thanks to Brother Lin's plan!" Sun Ying said happily!
"Hmm, Boss Sun, have you ever thought about making a big deal this time?" Lin Kunlun suddenly picked up the tea, took a sip and asked!
"What do you mean, Brother Lin?" Sun Ying became interested when he heard it.
"Brother Lin, do you know who has the most food now?" Lin Kunlun did not keep him in suspense.
"If we talk about the place with the most grain in the county, of course it is in the county warehouse. But the grain in the county warehouse is several years old! If we talk about the private person with the most grain, of course it is Chen Jun! As far as I know, in addition to the two granaries that Chen Jun took us to see, there is another larger granary in the suburbs!" Sun Ying vaguely felt that Lin Kunlun was referring to Chen Jun's grain.
"Well, you mean Chen Jun's food!" Sun Ying asked tentatively.
"Of course! Think about it, if the people from Qinglong Village come to rob food, will they only rob you and not Chen Jun's? If we arrange someone to rob Chen Jun's food that night! In this way, it will not arouse their suspicion!" Lin Kunlun did this to disrupt everyone's attention. Regardless of whether the people sent by Sun Ying could rob the food, they would attract most of the attention.
