-term laborers and tenant farmers had no choice but to work for landlords, paying taxes and rent in order to barely make a living. Therefore, even though they were exploited, they couldn't live witho..."How much is left" Yang Lin asked.

Xiao Jiu has a natural talent for mathematics. Yang Lin entrusted her with handling the finances, while he only managed his expenses. These days, Yang Lin spends money like water and doesn't even know how much he has left.

""

"And this meal would cost at least five taels of silver!"

Little Jiu said worriedly.

With a method of flowering like Yang Lin's, in just a few days they will be hungry again.

Yang Lin, hearing this number, let out a sigh of relief.

"It'll do, don't worry. Someone will be here soon to bring us money."

Xiao Jiu was surprised.

He doesn't know where Yang Lin's confidence comes from.

So it's all relying on this newly invented Thousand Sheets

Though a thousand pieces is indeed good, the villagers' purchasing power is limited. With the current earnings, it's not enough for him to go through all this trouble.

Five taels of silver would be enough for a poor family to live on for several years, yet Yang Lin ate it all in one meal.

This is such a waste of money!

In the afternoon, more and more people are coming to learn how to make tofu.

People from the wealthy families in the county also arrived at Xianshan Village.

Before this, they had all purchased tofu from Yanglin. This time after arriving, they directly found Yanglin and hoped that Yanglin could carefully teach them the skills of making tofu. For this, they were willing to pay more!

As a result, in the blink of an eye they saw the newly made thousand.

He was shocked again instantly.

Thousands of sheets, thin as paper, golden in color and surprisingly resilient, instantly captivated all the stewards from numerous families.

"Yang Lin, your skill with a thousand faces, would you be willing to teach it If so, my Zheng family will pay anything!"

"Ai ai ai, what are you Zheng family packing It's clear we can all make money together. Could it be that the Zheng family also wants to act like the Zhou family and hog all the profits for themselves"

"That's right, everyone is here for the money. If anyone wants to go it alone, my Hong family will be the first to object!"

Faced with the surging crowd, Zheng's steward dared not speak another word.

Although every family that comes wants to eat alone, the smart ones have already realized that the trouble Zhou's family has caused has made the rest of the families very dissatisfied.

In this situation, if anyone else tries to monopolize the business of thousands of sheets, they're just smashing everyone's rice bowls!

For them, whether it's tofu or qianzhang, being in Yang Lin's hands is the most advantageous.

Because Yang Lin has no power, no influence, and no connections, they can manipulate him at will. Collaborating with Yang Lin is like having him work for them.

But if it were to be monopolized by other families, that would be allowing other families to grow larger, and they wouldn't be able to resist other families like they did with Yang Lin.

Therefore, all the smart people present have already given up on the idea of going it alone.

At this time, Zhao Fugui hurried over and pulled Yang Lin aside.

"A distinguished guest has arrived in the county town. Come and meet him with me."

Zhao Fugui said mysteriously.

"Huh"

Yang Lin frowned slightly.

To be honest, his career is just starting out now, and he's already surrounded by wolves. He doesn't want to have anything to do with those elites.

"Oh, that's great."

"The one who came here is a representative from Zhao Family of the county town, and this person isn't an ordinary manager, but rather the head steward of Zhao Family. This time, he came especially for you!"

Zhao Fu貴 said with envy.

Although he was a relative of the Zhao family in the county town, status determined everything. As a village head, his status was far inferior to that of this steward.

Yang Lin was helpless, the other party had come looking for him, and there was no way to avoid it. He had no choice but to follow Zhao Fuguai to meet. Before leaving, Yang Lin called Xiao Jiu over and whispered a few words in his ear. Seeing Xiao Jiu nod seriously, he felt relieved.

Following Zhao Fugui home, Yang Lin met the head steward.

This is a man in his thirties, dressed in silk garments. His face is stern and imposing.

However, Yang Lin did not expect that the steward of Zhao's mansion would not put on any airs. Upon seeing Yang Lin, he smiled and bowed his hands.

"This must be Yang Lin, the brother of Yang. My name is Zhao Zhongming."

"My name is Yang Lin."

Yang Lin also cupped his hands in greeting.

Zhao Fugui served the two people tea and then politely left.

Zhao Zhongming looked at Yang Lin with great interest, a smile on his face.

Yang Lin felt uneasy under the other party's gaze and directly asked, "I wonder what brings Mr. Zhao to see me again"

"Well, I'm just a steward, not a master. If Brother Yang doesn't mind, you can call me Brother Zhao."

Yang Lin was secretly surprised again.

Is he being this polite It's not like a big family to be so humble, he's still getting used to it.

To be honest, this time it was my husband who sent me here, for only one thing.

"Tofu!"

Speaking of serious matters, Zhao Zhongming's expression also became solemn.

Yang Lin was taken aback.

The county magistrate That's the second highest official in Jianghe County, after only the county governor.

Zhao Zhongming said: “I know that the Zhou family came over yesterday to threaten you, forbidding you from making tofu.”

"Hmph, the Zhou family is truly audacious. They think they can rule Jianghe County as they please"

"The County magistrate said, 'You're talented because you can make tofu. Our master doesn't want to see such talent being suppressed and overlooked, so I was sent here to help you. The Zhao family will be your support!'"

Zhao Zhongming's words were spoken loudly and powerfully, as if he were truly speaking up for Yang Lin's injustice.

Yang Lin almost believed it.

If he were truly a country scholar who had never seen the world, upon hearing these words, he would not hesitate to bow his head and prostrate himself in gratitude, overwhelmed with emotion for the kindness shown to him.

But Yang Lin has lived two lives, engaging in research, navigating the bureaucracy, and doing business. He's met all sorts of people and is already a seasoned veteran.

"Oh, thank you, County Magistrate! Thank you, Brother Zhao!"

Yang Lin hurriedly got up and bowed, putting on an expression of deep emotion.

Zhao Zhongming stroked his beard and nodded with satisfaction, saying: "Brother Yang, rest assured, from now on, you just continue to make tofu. All the tofu you make will be bought by our Zhao family!"

"Price it the same as before, three copper coins each!"

With my Zhao family backing you, the Zhou family wouldn't dare to act recklessly!

Zhao Zhongping patted his chest and was quite bold.

Yang Lin was startled again.

He didn't expect that although the Zhao family was also playing tricks on him, they were surprisingly sincere and offered a reasonable price.

Of course, Yang Lin wasn't naive enough to think that when the Zhou family caused trouble, the Zhao family would really stand up for him.

The world is bustling with activity, all for the sake of profit.

Whether it's the Zhou family or the Zhao family, they are all using themselves.

But some have underlines, while others have none at all!

Facing Zhao's offer, Yang Lin was truly unable to refuse.

However, Yang Lin still asked: "Zhao brother, I have already imparted the technology of making tofu. Why don't you learn the technology and make it yourselves"

Zhao Zhongming smiled.

He flashed a sly smile like an old fox, leaning close to Yang Lin's side: "Why Brother Yang should know better than anyone!"e, I have another sister who was also taken by bandits. Uncle, can you save my sister""Your sister"Yang Lin was taken aback. They had already searched the mountain, there was no one else there.Then th...
