She became foolish after losing a soul and a spirit, mocked by the world.
On her fifteenth birthday, due to an issue with her engagement, her cousin pushed her into a river. This misfortune t...
Chapter 275 The fertile land bestowed by the emperor is a bit tricky.
Lin Dayou trembled when he heard Xiao Jingchen's voice. Oh no, did Xiao Jingchen hear what he just said?
But it wasn't just Lin Dayou who was frightened; even Lin Jize trembled.
You have to understand that he just cursed the emperor as a dog, and now that the emperor's son heard it, it's no wonder he's terrified.
"What's with those expressions? It's like you don't want to see me." Xiao Jingchen looked at the Lin family members, who were all on guard, with curiosity.
Seeing the blank look on Xiao Jingchen's face, everyone thought he hadn't heard them. Only after confirming with his face several times did they relax.
"Let's talk about the places the emperor bestowed upon us." Lin Luoxi pushed the land deeds in front of Xiao Jingchen, letting him see for himself what kind of place his good father had given her.
"Hiss~" Xiao Jingchen gasped when he saw the address on the land deed. No wonder these people called his mad father a dog emperor. He deserved to be cursed in this situation.
He was even a little scared, thinking that if Lin Luoxi and the others had insulted his father, then he couldn't insult him either.
"It's alright, I'll accompany you after tomorrow." He felt that if he, as the Ninth Prince, accompanied them, things should be handled well.
"Hmm!" Lin Luoxi responded lightly, then told the people present that she was going out for a while, and quickly disappeared into the night.
Lin Luoxi wasn't visiting relatives late at night; instead, she headed towards the back of the mountain.
Since even Xiao Jingchen felt that the fertile land she was rewarding was a bit troublesome, she needed to be prepared to have the best of both worlds.
Her purpose in going deep into the mountains was nothing more than to store the seven bears in her spatial storage to prevent any changes from happening tomorrow.
They found the bears in a cave deep in the mountains, played with them for a while, and then put them into their spatial storage before descending the mountain.
The next day, as she had promised, Lin Luoxi woke up early and had the cooks prepare breakfast.
Zhao Ximo and Lin Yi had to go up the mountain every day to practice martial arts with Lin Jize and the others, so they didn't have time to prepare breakfast.
After the Lin family moved to their new house, Lin Luoxi asked Zhao Ximo to buy a batch of cooks and cleaning ladies from the brokerage firm. Now the Lin family was truly living like landlords, with everything done for them.
Breakfast had just been prepared when the advisor and Mu Qing arrived on time.
After enjoying a delicious breakfast, Master Yang and Mu Qing led Lin Luoxi to the large tract of fertile land at the border between the Yang family and Wutong Village.
Upon receiving the news, Landlord Yang and his men waited early by the edge of the field.
Knowing that his family's land was to be sold to Lin Luoxi, he felt relieved. This thousand acres of fertile land was the first piece of fertile land his ancestors bought when they first became wealthy.
Therefore, Landlord Yang had a strong attachment to this piece of fertile land.
Upon learning that it was Lin Xiangzhu who had bought his land, his face relaxed.
Seeing that the 800 acres of wasteland that the Lin family bought has now been transformed by Lin Luoxi into a planned breeding and planting area.
He had also visited the Lin family when they were building the wall, and he was truly surprised that Lin Luoxi had transformed a large area of wasteland into a vibrant place. It was clear that the Lin family also cherished the land.
He believed that good land should be in the hands of those who cherish it to find a good home.
Therefore, the subsequent negotiations went very smoothly, with the money being exchanged for the land.
To make it easier for Lin Ruoxi to buy the land and transfer it to her name, Master Yang brought the seal and writing brush from the yamen directly. After the negotiation was successful, he stamped the document and had her sign and affix her seal.
The two families made three copies, and one copy was kept at the government office for record-keeping. Lin Luoxi didn't need to make a special trip to the government office to transfer the property, and there was also a backup.
This is what people mean when they say that having money, power, and connections is all that matters; all the paths will be paved for you.
Right after the stamp was completed, the tenants who rented land from Landlord Yang also arrived. After learning that Lin Luoxi had bought this fertile land, they all shamelessly stepped forward to ask if they could continue to rent the land to them.
Lin Luoxi bought so much land not so that she could work hard to cultivate it herself.
Seeing that tenants used to approach her cautiously to ask questions, Lin Luoxi naturally nodded in agreement.
However, she has requirements. If she really cultivates such a large tract of fertile land seriously, a bumper harvest is guaranteed.
Lin Luoxi made it clear to the tenants that she would come to check on them from time to time during the period they rented her land. If they took her land seriously and grew the crops well, she would rent it to families who were serious about farming for a long time.
But if she finds someone who doesn't take farming seriously and lets the crops go to waste, she will never rent to that person again.
Lin Luoxi did this to encourage a positive attitude, so that people wouldn't come here to rent her land but then treat it badly.
When she came to collect the rent, she would refuse to hand over the rent grain, citing poor harvests of various grain crops as an excuse.
Although she is kind, it doesn't mean she's a saint. With such good resources, she naturally wants to leave them for the tenant farmers who want to farm, in order to increase her income.
Lin Luoxi's words brought joy to some and sorrow to others.
But none of them dared to resist, after all, Lin Luoxi's fierce reputation was well-known throughout the surrounding area.
Just recently, the wall around Lin Luoxi's 800-mu (approximately 133 acres) wasteland was completed, and inside, the planning for breeding and planting is in full swing.
The story of someone with extremely malicious intentions trying to cause trouble in the middle of the night, only to be beaten so badly that their limbs were broken and their body dumped at the other person's doorstep, has already spread like wildfire.
Seeing that the clerks and constables of the yamen were all on Lin Luoxi's side, they dared not have any other thoughts.
Even if they had ten times the courage, they wouldn't dare to talk back to Lin Luoxi or make a move against her now, because Lin Luoxi has quite a few people standing behind her.
Knowing that their previous tricks could fool Landlord Yang but not Lin Luoxi, they had no choice but to withdraw from the group that rented Lin Luoxi's land to farm.
Seeing that those people wisely withdrew, Lin Luoxi smiled and asked Lin Yi to count the tenants who had left.
After obtaining the results, the amount of fertile land in the hands of the tenants should be recalculated.
Shops with large families and high demand for land can prioritize renting her land, provided that they treat her land well and don't neglect the overall needs just because they have a large number of properties to rent.
The tenants who needed to rent more fertile land to cultivate were very grateful to Lin Luoxi and were naturally happy to comply with her request.
Yang, the landlord who had been standing aside, wanting to see how Lin Luoxi would subdue these tenants, was enlightened by Lin Luoxi's words.
