Frontier Army Warrior

Chapter 156 Gold 2

Xie Zhong immediately retracted his head.

Bai Jing thought for a while, then got up and went out.

"Xie Zhong, please send some more people over. We need to patrol here continuously."

Xie nodded in agreement.

Lin Feng slept until noon, then got up, wiped his face, and ate a few bites of food.

Then he took Bai Jing and others to the construction site.

Li Xiong had been waiting to see Lin Feng for a long time. When he heard that Lin Feng had arrived at the construction site, he immediately chased after him.

"Boss, many people want to buy land. Where can we get it?"

Lin Feng pointed around.

"There's wasteland everywhere outside the city, all for sale. The ones closer are more expensive, and the ones farther away are cheaper."

“But that’s all wasteland.”

"It's all flat land. With a little tillage, it can become fertile fields."

"what..."

"Remember, make the land certificate look good and use it in a nice way in the publicity."

Li Xiong opened his mouth, looking confused.

Why does selling land require so many tricks?

Lin Feng knew that he still didn't understand these marketing strategies, so he patiently explained them.

"Although these lands are currently wasteland, the soil here is soft and easy to cultivate. The crops will grow easily, and the harvest is absolutely guaranteed. Located on the edge of the castle, safety is not a problem. The land certificates we issue must guarantee the ownership of the land, which will remain unchanged for a hundred years."

The people following Lin Feng were all confused at this time.

Lin Feng thought for a moment and continued, "The land certificate should be stamped with a big red seal and engraved with Dazong Zhenxi Duhufu."

Li Xiong nodded blankly.

"Finally, how about putting my signature on the land certificate?"

Bai Jing spoke first: "Brother, then this land must be sold for a lot of silver, right?"

"Of course, these guarantees come at a cost."

Li Xiong's face fell a little.

"Boss, think about it, if the price is too high, where will these refugees get the money?"

Bai Jing also nodded and said: "Brother, what you said is exaggerated. They don't have money in their hands, but they are not empty-handed."

Lin Feng laughed and said, "Are you stupid? If you don't have money, you can borrow it."

"Who can I borrow from?"

"We have money in hand. We can lend it to them and charge a little interest."

Everyone was even more confused.

“What will they pay you back?”

Lin Feng reached out and slapped Li Xiong on the head.

"You're so fucking dumb, you're working, but you can't even get paid!"

"Oh, it's Boss. I see."

Bai Jing frowned and said, "But what if they can't pay the money and run away?"

As soon as Lin Feng stretched out his hand, Bai Jing had already moved away and looked at him with her head tilted.

Lin Feng didn't hit her head, so he pointed around.

"Where are you going? Their land is right here, you fool."

Everyone in the group scratched their heads and giggled.

"Where's Wencheng? Why didn't Wencheng come?"

"He's busy calculating land prices and measuring methods."

Lin Feng glanced at everyone.

"Look, such capable and competent people deserve more money and promotions. You should learn from them."

Li Xiong said with a sad face: "Wencheng can read and is well-educated. I can't learn from him."

"Why, you can't learn to read?"

As he was speaking, Lin Feng suddenly remembered something and turned to look at the people around him.

"Listen up, everyone. From now on, you all must learn to read and write. I'll give you an exam, and if you fail, well... you'll be fined."

The guards and others following behind Lin Feng all looked disheartened.

It would be better to let them fight the Tartars than to let them learn to read.

"Bai Jing, as the chief supervisor, you are responsible for supervising and monitoring everyone's studies. Do you understand?"

"Yes, I can do this job well."

Lin Feng talked as he walked around the construction site.

Wherever he went, the busy laborers would stop what they were doing, turn around and kneel on the ground to salute Lin Feng.

Lin Feng had to support him all the way.

"Li Xiong, from now on, issue a notice: no more kneeling when you see me."

"Yes, boss."

"You must check at all times and not withhold the wages of the laborers. Meals must be provided and they must be well fed."

"Don't worry, boss. I'm hanging around here all day."

Lin Feng moved from the construction site to the brick kiln, lime kiln, coke oven, steel furnace, and also to the craftsman's workshop.

After this circle, it was night again.

Looking at his house, he saw soldiers coming and going continuously, patrolling every corner.

Lin Feng turned and smiled at Bai Jing.

"Did you notice anything unusual?"

"You react so strongly, who can ignore it?"

They talked as they walked into the house.

"I felt very strange last night. I smelled a fresh fragrance that came from nowhere."

"Fragrance?"

"Also, it seems like someone is watching me in the dark."

Bai Jing trembled all over.

"Brother, don't scare me."

Lin Feng looked serious as he scanned every corner of the room.

"I'm not lying to you. It felt very real."

"It's not a ghost, is it?"

Bai Jing's face turned pale.

"What are you thinking about? Maybe it's just my hallucination."

"But how could a foreign object get into such a heavily guarded place?"

Lin Feng was also a little nervous, even though he was very skilled and brave.

But facing this unknown creature, I have no idea what to do.

Look at the messy white silk that I have written and drawn on, it’s not suitable to move it to another place.

Once you have sorted these out, it is easy to interrupt your previous train of thought.

Bai Jing stood aside firmly.

"Brother, I'll stay with you tonight."

"So good."

Lin Feng sat at the desk and continued to conceive his blueprint.

Bai Jingze sat on the side, holding a dagger in his hand, and looked around vigilantly.

Luocheng, Prince Fu’s Mansion.

Prince Fu Zhao Zheng sat behind the desk, looking at the Black Scarf Society leader, Miao Changfeng, who had a tired face.

"Boss Miao, how's your arrangement going?"

Miao Changfeng sighed.

"Alas, I didn't expect that the shadow beast would be so ruthless and demand such a high price."

"Haha, I have plenty of silver, as long as there is a price."

Miao Changfeng took the tea brought by the servant and drank it in one gulp.

"This guy actually heard of Lin Feng and is asking for ten thousand taels of gold from me. This is outrageous."

Even King Fu was stunned when he heard the price.

"With this money, I can raise another army of 5,000 men."

Miao Changfeng's face looked sinister.

"Pay half first, and then pay the other half after the task is completed."

He said and shook his head.

"I have never done such a loss-making business before."

King Fu shook his head: "Lin Feng is not worth this price."

"Your Majesty, let me suggest this: pay half the deposit first. After completing the task, we can set up a trap, and then..."

As he said this, he made a cutting motion with his hands.

"Your Majesty will not spend a penny."

King Fu frowned and said, "Didn't they say that this shadow beast is very powerful?"

"No matter how powerful he is, he can't escape the siege of the army. We can send more people and surround and kill him."

"I trust Boss Miao to do things, that's it."

"Thank you for your trust, Your Highness. I will make the arrangements right away."

After saying this, he bowed and left.

Lin Feng underestimated the farmers' love for the land and the refugees' longing for home.

After he implemented a series of methods to borrow money, the enthusiasm of the laborers was once very high.

Li Xiong has repeatedly added more staff, but he is still very busy.

Measure the land, register it, plan the house, and handle loan procedures.

Not only the people in the castle, but even the refugees from Qingshui County came here to settle down.

Thus, new problems arise.
