Chapter 164 She Just Wants to Have a Clear Mind

Even when Xi Lilong was sleeping, she only changed into clean clothes so that she could pick up the spear and fight at any time. She put on her soft armor, hooked the red tassel spear on the ground with her toes and held it in her hand.

She pushed the door open and looked at the villagers outside the fence, frowning: "What are you doing here?"

The villagers had long known that there was a female general living here. When they saw Xi Lilong, they immediately realized who she was and quickly knelt down to salute: "Greetings, General. We are here to meet Miss Lin Jin."

"What do you want to see her for?" Xi Lilong asked coldly.

The villagers looked at each other and pushed each other, as if waiting for someone to speak.

Xi Lilong understood the twists and turns just by thinking: "Do you want her to rent your land as well?"

Lin Jin brought over several hundred kilograms of rice yesterday. Anyone who asked around would know what happened. He only rented out one acre of land but got more food than one acre of land. Who wouldn't be tempted?

"You guys are dreaming." Xi Lilong sneered, "You really have no shame in taking advantage of a little girl."

If everyone was like this, how long would Lin Liu have to work and how much food would he lose.

If Lin Jin goes to find someone to do the business himself, that is Lin Jin's own business. But if these people come to him on their own, that is completely different.

"Sir, we heard that Miss Lin Jin has good seeds. One acre of land can produce at least 400 kilograms of grain. In some places, one acre of land can even produce nearly 1,000 kilograms of grain. Miss Lin Jin will not lose out anyway." The villagers thought that this way both sides would be happy, so why not do it.

Xi Lilong stuck the tip of the red tasseled spear into the soil and said, "Can my sister finish planting so much land? If she hires someone to help plow the land and harvest in autumn, does she have to pay extra wages? The 400 kilograms of grain include rice and husks, and the actual grain produced is only about 300 kilograms. How can my sister not lose out?"

As for accounting, coincidentally, she had managed so many shops in the past, so she was very good at accounting.

These people simply saw that the maximum yield from growing rice on one acre of land would be less than 300 kilograms, but Lin Jin used 300 kilograms of rice to exchange for this acre of land, and the only one who suffered the loss was Lin Jin.

Even if Lin Jin doesn't care about these gains and losses, she has to take care of it because she sees it. It's not like Lin Liu really has no one behind him, and he still wants to bully her.

Lin Jin was awakened by the noise outside the house. She didn't sleep well in the first place, and it was common for her to have repeated dreams. In addition, the walls in this era had no sound insulation at all. She stared at the ceiling with her eyes open.

Can I still sleep well? Who is making noise outside?

Lin Jin put on her clothes and went out. Just as she stretched, she saw Xi Lilong standing there talking to someone.

"What's wrong?" Lin Jin thought that something big had happened in the village, and he had to ask Xi Lilong to make the decision, so he just dared to stand not too far away.

Xi Lilong glanced at Lin Jin and said, "It's okay."

Lin Jin was frightened by this look: "What's wrong?"

Why does this look seem to say that she is in trouble?

What happened to her again?

"These people want you to rent their land." Xi Lilong said lightly, shaking the spear in his hand, "Get out of here, I don't want my sword and gun to be used against the people of Daxia."

Lin Jin blinked for a long time before reacting: "Ah?"

She glanced at those people, one, two, three..., and her eyes went dark.

It's impossible to rent it. One person plows 30 acres of land. She is not a real cow or horse, so she will die.

Lin Jin smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I can't grow crops on this land, but if you are willing, I can give you the rice seeds. The reason why I rented the land from that family is because they can't afford to farm. You can all be self-reliant."

Fortunately, she still had several hundred kilograms of rice to use as seeds.

Lin Jin pretended to go back to the house, took out a bag of rice and handed it to Xi Lilong. She hid behind Xi Lilong and said, "I can't grow so much land by myself."

There were no tilling machines in this era, and one acre of land was enough to kill her. With thirty acres, she might as well die now and be reborn as a working ox.

Xi Lilong gave them the rice, his eyes became even colder: "Take the rice seeds and go."

Lin Jin's heart skipped a beat. It seemed as if Xi Lilong was even angrier.

"Sister Xi, are you angry?" Lin Jin poked Xi Lilong's waist, "Don't be angry, they didn't do anything wrong, they just had to do it because of life."

Otherwise, who would rush around for more than 100 kilograms of rice?

Su Cheng'an jumped down from the tree. He had just seen everything. Although the villagers were not aggressive, he felt that Miss Lin Liu was too kind: "If you just give them the rice seeds, they will just think you are easy to bully."

"Well, it's useless for me to keep it." Lin Jin scratched her head. Besides, this was exactly what she wanted. She hadn't been sure about persuading the villagers to use her rice seeds before. "Isn't the emergence of good seeds to ensure that the people have enough food and clothing? What's the point of me holding it in my hands?"

Besides, these people didn't steal or rob. Although they were jealous of the old lady for getting the better deal, food is the most important thing for people, and she didn't think there was anything wrong with that.

She is not a country lady, so why should she make things difficult for these people?

Su Cheng settled down and looked at Xi Lilong. Seeing that there was no surprise in the other party's eyes, he sighed: "She is angry that you don't know how to protect yourself and don't know how to keep your wealth private."

Today we are just simple villagers, what if we meet someone with bad intentions?

Lin Jin thought about it and it seemed to make sense, but: "Perhaps, some things can't be achieved at the same time. Some people want to be happy for themselves, some want to be famous, and some just want to have a clear conscience. How can you have both?"

Everything has risks, and this is just one of the millions of situations she might encounter on the path she has chosen.

She just wants to have a clear conscience. If she doesn't do these things because of this, she will feel guilty.

"Swords have no eyes on the battlefield, so will you not go to the battlefield? Will you not let a soldier under your command go to the battlefield to avoid his death just because his wife and children are not taken care of at home? Every road has its own thorns. Either you stay where you are or you cut through the thorns, right?"

Su Cheng'an was stunned by the question and began to think deeply.

"But your worries are justified. Maybe next time I can't just give them the rice seeds. I'll ask them to exchange their own rice seeds. Two handfuls of millet for one handful of my rice seeds. Maybe that will be better."

Lin Jin reflected on whether he had done something wrong. Perhaps he really needed to exchange things for other things, otherwise it would inevitably encourage people's greed.

Su Cheng'an was about to say something, but when he saw Xi Lilong shook his head slightly, he swallowed all his words back.

Never mind. There are other people to worry about.

The letter that Bai He brought to Song Shiqiu had not yet reached the capital, but it had already reached Liu Zhengqing's hands halfway. In the past three years, in addition to controlling floods, he also had to punish corrupt officials everywhere and rarely returned to the capital, but everyone knew that Liu Zhengqing was Song Shiqiu's confidant.

What's more, Liu Zhengqing is now Song Shiqiu's brother-in-law, and the letter written to Song Shiqiu was intercepted by him openly.

Liu Zhengqing originally thought that something had happened somewhere and planned to go there by himself, but he saw the words "Lin Liu".

He looked at the person who wrote the letter, Su Chengan.

Lin Liu, which Lin Liu? Liu Zhengqing thought it was absurd, but he still read the letter to the end, and even confirmed that the Lin Liu mentioned in Su Chengan's letter was his sister Lin Jin.

"Lord Liu, do we still need to send this letter back?" Seeing that he had been silent, Bai He held the letter in his hand and couldn't help but ask.

In previous years, Lord Liu would handle matters himself and then report back to Song Shiqiu.

But why do I feel that there is something wrong with Lord Liu’s expression this time?

Liu Zhengqing put the letter back into the envelope and handed it back to Bai He: "Send it back."

He actually didn't want to let Song Shiqiu know, but if it was really his sister, she would definitely go back to find Song Shiqiu and he couldn't hide it.
