Chapter 40: The One Who Solves the Manufacturing Problem

le's family isn't doing well these days. He failed the local exams repeatedly and has no official rank, so he is considered a failure in others' eyes.While I have a good theoretical knowledge base, tu...Liu Liang ran away with his tail between his legs, and the villagers all cheered.

Yang Lin stood high up and announced:

"From today onwards, all laborers and tenants who work for Liu Jiayuan can come to me for work!"

"The wages are all the same, five cents each!"

"Ten articles for the craftsman!"

"I will pay off the debt owed to the Liu family!"

And, the whole family can work together here with me!

"Anyone who works here will have at least one pig feast per month!"

"Bonuses during holidays!"

After Yang Lin finished speaking, the villagers in attendance were once again in an uproar.

They couldn't help but tell their relatives and friends who were still working at the Liu family about this good news.

The long-term laborer from the Liu family had long wanted to leave the Liu family.

They're just worried that there won't be enough work for them here with Yang Lin, and if Liu the landlord oppresses them, Yang Lin might not be able to keep going. Then they'll have to go back to Liu the landlord and beg him.

But today's events completely dispelled their concerns.

On one side, it's working from dawn till dusk, only earning two copper coins a day.

On the other side, there's less work but you can still get five coins!

...in contrast...

There's simply no comparison!

"Yang Lin, do you need so many people for this"

"Yes, Liu's landlord has a lot of people working, over a hundred! If everyone brought their families, there would be at least two or three hundred people!"

All the villagers looked on with worry towards Yang Lin.

Yang Lin patted his chest and said, "I, Yang Lin, always keep my word!"

"As for me, whether I can be used by so many people Don't worry everyone, besides tofu and Qian Zhang, we will have new industries in a few days. When the time comes, no matter how many people come, it won't be too much!"

With Yang Lin's assurance, the villagers cheered again, many of them eager to call their friends and family.

……

Liu's Family.

Liu Liang, with a bruised nose and swollen face, stumbled and sobbed his way in from outside.

"Father... they bullied me!"

Liu Youcai was instantly taken aback.

"Child, who beat you like this"

"Who is it Who did it"

Liu Youcai glared angrily.

"Father, it's Yang Lin, he beat me… Father, you have to avenge me!"

Liu Liang cried and told the whole story.

Yesterday, he smashed the tofu shop and was still feeling pleased with himself. Therefore, this morning, he brought people to the riverbank to show off his strength.

To my surprise, I was full of swagger when I went there, but came back completely humiliated!

He had never suffered such a loss from childhood to adulthood. At this moment, he cried out, full of grievance.

"How could this be!"

Liu Youcai slammed his fist on the table: “That Yang Lin, he even dared to hit you! He really doesn't put our family in his eyes. Does he really think our Liu family is easy to bully”

"Father, what should we do now They are too fierce, and our people can't beat them..."

Liu Liang was already at a loss.

Just then, the butler rushed in.

"Master, master, something terrible has happened! Those peasants have come to demand their wages and say they won't work for us anymore!"

The butler burst in, shouting, and then saw the master and young master, both with faces ashen just like his.

"What"

Liu Youcai glared fiercely at the steward: "Make it clear to me, what exactly happened"

The steward said, "It's said that Yang Lin put out the word that anyone who leaves us to work for him will have their debts paid off by him, and he'll also give those commoners five coins a day..." The steward himself was moved by this as he spoke.

Nevertheless, he was a house slave and had already sold himself to the Liu family. Therefore, no matter what, he was already bound to the Liu family and there was no other choice.

"What"

"How dare he steal someone from our family"

"How could this be!"

Liu Youcai's whiskers were trembling with fear.

"Master, you must make a decision quickly. Those commoners have blocked the accounting room and are all demanding to be paid."

"Humph! Let them wait!" Liu Youcai said coldly, "Want to do work in Yang Lin's place and still want to settle the wages Dream on!"

"You bring how many people If anyone doesn't listen, beat him up!"

"But..." the butler said with difficulty, "Outside it's all being said that Yang Lin's bodyguard beat up our young master. Those mud legs seem to be afraid of us no more."

As he spoke, the butler unconsciously glanced at Liu Liang and immediately realized that the rumors were true.

"Dad... what should we do now If nobody does the work for us, what will happen to our fields"

Liu Liang looked wronged and pitiful.

"Shut up!"

Liu Youcai glared fiercely at Liu Liang. He was already furious, and hearing these words from Liu Liang only made him even angrier.

"You go down first. I already have an idea about this," Liu Youcai said.

"But what about Mud Legs over there" the butler asked.

Tell them to settle with them in two days.

"Yes!"

The housekeeper left.

Liu Liang hurried to ask, "Father, what are we going to do We have so much farmland. If no one works it, it will all be abandoned!"

"What if we also raise the wages for the laborers As long as we give them the same amount as Yang Lin, they won't leave."

His family has over a thousand acres of farmland. If all the farmhands and tenants left, those over a thousand acres would be ruined!

Liu Youcai poked Liu Liang's head hard: "Can you grow a brain Asking for a raise What did your father teach you You can't spoil those peasants like this!"

To make the mud legs obey, you must mercilessly squeeze them, keeping them just alive but never truly satisfied.

"If you really give them a raise, they wouldn't even complain, heaven forbid!"

Besides, Yang Lin is crazy. Even if we really raise wages, Yang Lin might still raise them! If he raises his prices again, what will we do

Liu Youcai glared fiercely at Liu Liang.

Liu Liang was dumbfounded: "This doesn't work, that doesn't work, so is there no hope at all"

"Oh!"

Liu Youcai sighed heavily.

"You're clueless and lack the ruthlessness!"

"You have to learn from your father, this world is cruel, if you are not ruthless, you will be devoured!"

"Just like now, Yang Lin has pushed us to this point. Are you still thinking about solutions"

"Uh..."

Liu Liang was even more confused.

What are you thinking if you don't want a solution

"Child, remember that when you encounter problems you can't solve, don't try to solve them."

"Instead, we should find ways to solve the people who create the problems!"

Liu Youcai spoke, a cold light flashing in his eyes. He made a slashing motion across his throat towards Liu Liang.

Liu Liang suddenly realized, thinking back to the humiliation he suffered at Yang Lin's hands. A sinister expression appeared on his face.

Liu Youcai said coldly, "No matter how much Yang Lin struggles, he's still just one person in the end."

"Just get rid of him…"

Then all the problems now, are no longer problems!

And all of his things, they will all be ours!

In Liu Youcai's eyes, a piercing cold light flashed.r, I borrowed a hundred copper coins from Landlord Liu. My family didn't have much of value at the time, so Landlord Liu let me use Guiying as collateral."I... I had no choice at the time, so I just v...
