Chapter 56: Reunion with the Black Stone Head

ave.After spending a long time at Zhao Fugui's house, the stewards from each family finally left contentedly.After these two deals were finalized, Yang Lin had a hefty sum of white flowers in his pock...Li Liang was stunned for a long time and hadn't come back to his senses.

He never expected things to turn out this way!

When he learned that his mother had given all of the Liu family's silver and land deeds to Yang Lin, he even thought his mother had gone crazy.

Just now his mother told him that all of this was his father's arrangement, and the depth of meaning behind it was beyond his imagination!

"So, Liang'er, you have to believe in your father's plans. Over all these years, everything he has planned has gone smoothly."

Liu Zhangshi spoke earnestly, "At first, I didn't understand either. But after thinking about it, I figured it out."

"First of all, those land deeds are worthless, just like they're in our hands! Yang Lin pays well, so everyone goes to work for him. We have so much land, but nobody wants to do the work! There's no choice but to leave it fallow."

"As for that silver, your father once said that silver is a good thing, but whether one can keep it depends on their ability!"

If you lack the ability, even with a great deal of money, it will only accumulate for others.

"So first, let's give Yang Lin the silver and then spread the word, letting everyone know that Yang Lin took our silver and land. That way, he'll essentially be holding a hot potato."

"Your father said that when everyone knows that our land is with Yang Lin, they will definitely go to Yang Lin's trouble and hold him responsible for this!"

We'll just let them know that Yang Lin will become the new landlord of Kaoshantun village!

That way, nothing will happen at our house before your father gets back.

Liu Liang hurriedly nodded and said, "Son understands!"

Just now, his mother had explained to him several times before he finally understood his father's intentions.

“Your father said that Yang Lin is just keeping our money and land safe for us, and taking the pressure and anger upon himself.”

"So many treasures, all kept by him alone. When your father returns, he can take them all back!"

As for the silver, although he has over three thousand taels with him, even with that much money, he wouldn't be able to spend it all. After we deal with Yang Lin, the silver will naturally still belong to us!

And even he thought our family had no money left, so he would relax his guard against us. You could take advantage of this time to go to the Pingyuan Mansion and find your Fourth Master!

"As long as you, Fourth Master, are willing to step in and use your connections, your father will be fine."

"So, Liang'er, the hope of our family, rests entirely on you!"

“I’ve sewn five hundred taels of silver into your clothes. When you reach Pingyuan County, don't wander around. Go directly to your fourth master and give him the money!”

Liu Liang couldn't help but ask, "But our family and the Fourth Master's family haven't been in touch for many years. What if the Fourth Master refuses to help us"

"Alas!"

Liu Zhang sighed: "This is exactly where your father's strategy is brilliant."

"If we can't rely on your Fourth Grandfather, then from now on, we'll have to depend solely on Yang Lin's breath!"

“Your father is good at judging people. He once said that Yang Lin is capable and resourceful, but he lacks ruthlessness.”

He promised your father, and he'll definitely keep his word. So even if this trip to Pingyuan County doesn't work out, let's just throw our lot in with Yang Lin and rely on him. It's a win-win situation—we can protect our family no matter what!

Liu Liang nodded heavily, and his admiration for his father grew even deeper in his heart.

In the past, he was just a lazy playboy.

But now the Liu family has undergone a drastic change, making him mature overnight. He also wants to do something to save his family.

As for when all else fails, to rely on Yang Lin

He can't accept it!

"Mother, rest assured and wait for my good news!"

Liu Liang took a deep breath, slung his backpack on, and stood up to leave.

Just then, the butler rushed in.

"Madam, Master, something has happened!"

Liu Zhang said angrily, "What are you panicking about Tell me, what happened" "Yang Lin! Yang Lin gave away all our land deeds!"

The butler gasped for breath and said.

"What"

"What"

Liu Zhangshi and Liu Liang stared wide-eyed at the same time.

"Just now, Yang Lin led people to capture all the bandits. Then when everyone returned from the back mountain, Yang Lin announced that they would be given land. He was even distributing deeds at his front door a moment ago. I'm afraid they are all finished by now!"

Liu Zhang's body swayed, and she collapsed onto the chair, crying out: "That's all our family land! How dare Yang Lin Why did he give it all away"

Liu Zhang was so anxious that she slammed her fist on the table.

Just now, I had a conversation with my son. When I mentioned Liu Youcai's plan, she was still smug, thinking about how she would take back all this land and Yang Lin's despair in the future.

But now, Yang Lin has actually given away all the land

Doesn't that mean all of the father's schemes have gone to waste

If all the land is with Yang Lin, then at that time we only need to deal with Yang Lin alone, and we can get back all the land.

Now, Yang Lin has divided up all the fields.

You can't just get rid of over a hundred households, can you

The Liu family spent over twenty years using all sorts of despicable and underhanded tactics to amass so much land.

Now the fields are back in the hands of the villagers, and it will take at least that many years to get them back!

Most importantly, now that the villagers are working with Yang Lin, their lives are getting better and better. Will they have the opportunity to use those methods again in the future

Liu Zhang was bewildered and at a loss, not knowing what to do.

Liu Liang, however, recovered after a moment of absentmindedness.

After going through setbacks, his ability to withstand pressure had improved a lot. Seeing his mother's dejection, he quickly comforted her: "Mother, it's alright. Even if we lose the farmland, we still have over three thousand taels of silver. We can take the silver back then, and we'll still be wealthy!"

"Yeah, yeah, yeah!"

Liu Zhang quickly nodded.

Yang Lin's actions left her utterly disoriented and at a loss.

Thinking of Yang Lin still having over three thousand taels of silver, he finally felt a little more at ease.

……

At the same time, in front of Yang Lin's house.

With the guard unit arranged to escort the bandits and all the newly recruited miners, Yang Lin was eager to set off.

Although he was certain that the black stone was coal, he wanted to know the size of the mine and the difficulty of extracting it. He wouldn't be at ease until he saw it for himself.

"Just a moment, I'll go with you!"

Li Yuyao chased after, followed by Liao Hongying.

“That’s a good idea, but the journey is long. Can you make it”

Li Yuxi nodded calmly.

Liao Hongying raised her head and said, "It's just twenty li, no problem!"

Both women were armed with crossbows, their bearing was both fierce and graceful. Though their clothes were plain, they couldn't conceal a particular charisma.

After more than a few hours, a group of thirty people finally arrived at Lao Heishan.

Before he even reached the coal mine, Yang Lin saw the kind of black stone that couldn't be burned, as described by the bandits.

The mountains are full of it!

Seeing this black stone, Yang Lin was astonished once again!a, a rudimentary earthen furnace has already been constructed. The iron produced is stronger and more ductile, but it's still not ideal.On the construction site of the house, the foundation pit had be...
