ha were still on my face... it's an indescribable feeling.Liao Hongying was dumbfounded.Did Your Majesty really just kiss himCould it be, Your Majesty truly intends for him to be your husband"Ahem, wh...Zhao Guang clenched his fists tightly.

He Zhao Guang in Jiang He County, no one dared to provoke him!

That day, he was just teasing a woman, and yet Yang Lin led a group of women to beat him up. Every time he thinks about it, he grits his teeth in hatred.

Zhao Deyi and Zhou Kun were startled, their eyes met instantly, then they looked back at Zhao Guang.

"Guāng'er, are you talking about Yáng Lín from Gāo Shān Village"

Zhao Guang was stunned and exclaimed, "Father, you know about this too I inquired from many sources and only heard from the constable Zhang Wu that last month there was a man named Yang Lin in Shanshan Village who married ten wives all at once!"

"The number of people and their looks match the person who beat me, Father. Since you already know, why don't you gather some soldiers and go to Mount Li Village to bring back that Yang Lin"

"And those women of his, they should all be brought in too!"

Zhao Guang clenched his fists tightly.

Remembering that breathtaking face, Zhao Guang unconsciously swallowed. His mind was already racing, thinking of how to get that stunning woman into his bed, strip her clothes off, and toy with her...

Zhao Guang was still lost in his illusion, but after a long while, he heard no sound from his father.

"Dad Why aren't you speaking He's just a bumpkin. Squash him, it's as easy as crushing an ant."

Zhao Guang looked strangely.

Zhao Deyi frowned and waved his hand: "This Yang Lin is not simple!"

"Oh"

Both Zhao Guang and Zhou Kun didn't understand.

Zhao Deyi said coldly: "Before, we underestimated him! He can make tofu, sell medicine water and earn a lot of money, and he can even think of finding the county magistrate as his backer. You guys think, could this person be simple"

Zhou Kun nodded in agreement, but also asked: "But sir, this Yang Lin is so bold, he even dared to hit Xiaoguang. This matter can't just be let go!"

"Of course not! That can't be settled like this!" Zhao Deyi said coldly, "If he dares to touch my son, I will make him understand that the Zhao family is not someone he can mess with!"

"This matter requires careful consideration in the long run."

Zhao Deyi's face was gloomy.

Although he was a martial artist, he also had some cunning. He understood that even though the County Magistrate was Yang Lin's patron, to the County Magistrate, he was nothing more than a bit of silver and some face.

If one decides to kill Yang Lin, the county magistrate would not do anything to them.

This way, in the county magistrate's eyes, I would be disobedient. Consequently, the county magistrate would completely turn to Zhao Kang, the county lieutenant, which would be detrimental to my career path!

So, Zhao Deyi needed a win-win solution.

"Sir, I have an idea." Zhou Kun's eyes rolled, and he said.

"Oh Tell me about it."

Zhou Kun immediately said: "My lord, in a few days, Heihu will come into the city to deliver the New Year's silver. If we leave things that are inconvenient for us to handle to Heihu, won't there be no problem"

Zhao Deyi's eyes lit up, and he immediately slammed his fist on the table: "Good! That's how we'll do it! You tell Black Tiger to handle this beautifully! As for the people... don't kill them for now, capture them all alive. Bring Yang Lin back to me, and I'll hand him over to Guang'er for punishment!"

"Rest assured, sir. I will bring both people and wealth back to you!" Zhou Kun said.

"Don't worry, Father!" Zhao Guang gritted his teeth and said, "I will make him know the price of hitting me. When I'm done teaching him a lesson, I'll teach him how to be human! In his next life!"

As for those women of his... hmph, I'm going to make him watch, right in front of him...

Koushan Village. Yang Lin sat on the edge of the bed, his second sister washing his feet, while Xiao Jiu stood beside him, reporting on the Koushan Xincun project.

The Koushan New Village project received 34,860 silver taels today.

For the labor offsetting debt, a total of 49,620 wen.

The remaining mortgage amount is 760,320 wen, with interest of 1,520,640 wen, for a total of 2,283,840 wen.

"The calculation is as follows: income from cash is 348 taels; labor offsets debt for 496 taels; mortgage principal and interest total 2,832 taels, making a grand total of 3,127 taels."

Closing the ledger, Xiao Jiu and the other women all had shocked expressions on their faces.

Everyone was shocked by these numbers.

However, for Yang Lin, these numbers were all within expectations, so he wasn't surprised at all.

How is the personnel situation

Xiao Jiu opened the ledger again and read, "There are thirty-two people in the tofu workshop, twenty-eight in the lumberjack team, thirty in the stone quarry team, thirteen in the brick kiln, five in the blacksmith shop, twelve in the coal mining team, ten in the guard team, twenty in the construction team, plus Wang Guishu who is in charge of purchasing, and my cousin Du Jing. There are a total of one hundred fifty-two people."

Today, thirteen new craftsmen arrived. There are two blacksmiths, six carpenters, and five masons.

"Today, the newly recruited road repair team, currently down to one hundred people as per your instructions, and there are many, many more registered… They all hope to be assigned work as soon as possible."

After finishing, Xiao Jiu raised her head.

"Could there still be two or three hundred registered people" Yang Lin asked.

Xiao Jiu nodded. "Hmm, just a little more or less."

"That's good."

Yang Lin pinched his chin and thought for a moment, then said: "Continue recruiting tomorrow. The tofu workshop remains the same. Add ten people to each of the logging team, quarry team, and guard team. Increase the construction team and blacksmith's shop by twenty people each."

"In addition, two more sailors will be recruited, along with ten others, to form a transport team."

"Tomorrow, have Wang貴 go buy two boats back."

All the women were taken aback.

Other teams increased their manpower, and they all understood.

But over at the blacksmith's, they just make weapons. Five people are enough, so why do we need to add twenty more suddenly

Li Yuyao, however, had a hunch. The sudden increase of twenty people in the ironworks was likely related to the coal discovered yesterday!

Regardless of how things turned out, Yang Lin now held absolute authority in the household. Even Li Yuy Yao, when she didn't understand something, wouldn't dare to voice her disagreement. She would only silently speculate about Yang Lin's intentions.

"My husband, when will our house be finished" Si Mei asked with a pout.

"Hmm In a hurry"

"Si Mei held onto Yang Lin's arm and coquettishly said, "Of course! Our whole family lives together, squashed on the ground all day. We've been married for days, but none of my sisters have given birth yet. If word gets out, people will laugh at us!"

Yang Lin's face flushed, and the women pretended not to hear.

Such fierce and savage words, only Si Mei would dare to say them.

Si Me ignored all that and snuggled up to Yang Lin affectionately, like a lazy kitten. She giggled, "Husband, aren't you eager too How about tonight, I warm your body for you"

"Oh dear, I've made a fool of myself. My husband hasn't yet shared the bridal chamber with my elder sister, how could I be so presumptuous"

"Well then, how about this: my husband shares a room with your sister tonight! All you sisters close your eyes and promise not to look, hee hee hee."

Si Me giggled playfully.all the women in the house looking at him with strange expressions."What's wrong"Yang Lin looked at everyone strangely.Si Mei jokingly said, "Come in quickly, the young lady has been waiting for you i...
