The second day.
Before Lin Anru went to find the village chief, the village chief had already come to find Lin Anru.
Without confirmation from Lin Anru, the head of the family, he still had some doubts about what Lin Shiyu had said to him before.
"Shiyu has already told me what happened, and I agree with her approach."
"Oh, okay!"
The village chief sighed.
It seems that he is destined to be the villain this time.
I just don’t know whether I and my family will be retaliated against.
I hope the people in the village can be more sensible.
"The village chief doesn't need to worry too much. As long as there are enough benefits, everyone will accept even the strictest regulations."
Seeing the village chief's wrinkled face becoming even more wrinkled due to worry, Lin Anru immediately comforted him.
"Yes, that's right." The village chief was helpless and forced himself to comfort himself.
After the suspension of herbal medicine purchases, several villagers have regretted their previous actions and now behave much more restrained.
If the acquisition were to be initiated again, he believed many people would not make this mistake.
"I'm going to go back first and talk to everyone this afternoon. As long as there's no objection, the herbal medicine issue can get back on track, right?"
Lin Anru waved her hand: "Don't worry about this. Sit down first. I have something to talk to you about."
"It's related to the purchase of herbs." After thinking for a while, he added.
The village chief had no choice but to sit down.
Liu was waiting outside the door early and immediately served them tea.
"I will continue to purchase the herbs I purchased previously. In addition, I also plan to purchase some additional herbs. However, I can only pay a small amount for these newly added herbs."
The village chief was already very happy to hear that they would continue to purchase herbs; but when he heard that he would add new herbs, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't press his lips together, revealing his sparse teeth.
As for the last point Lin Anru said, he didn't take it to heart.
Even if you only give a small amount of money, it is still money and no one will despise it.
“Why only part of the money?”
I think so, but I still need to find out the reason.
"Here's what I'm planning. The money from selling the newly harvested herbs will be divided into two parts. Half will go to the villagers themselves, and the other half will go to the public."
This was the result of his discussion with his daughter last night.
When disaster strikes next year, no matter how well prepared their family is, they can imagine that the situation then will not be very good.
The overall environment is so bad, and they are part of it, how could they be spared?
It's like a country that's constantly at war. It's a battle between nations. No matter how well prepared individuals are, they can only protect themselves. How can they expect their living standards to return to normal?!
How can individual armed forces match the power of a country?
For myself and for my family.
The only safest strategy is for the clan and the village to unite and face the outside world together.
Personal stockpiling is only a last resort.
When order does not exist, those who possess large quantities of materials that people need become lambs to be slaughtered.
"Shiyu should have told you that I plan to pursue a career in government."
The village chief nodded.
"Now that conditions allow, I plan to pursue a career in government. It's not just about passing the imperial examination as everyone thinks."
Lin Anru pointed in the direction above and continued:
"I don't know how many years it will take to achieve something, and maybe I'll never achieve anything. But if that day ever comes, I don't expect my family to give me much resistance, but at least they won't hold me back. Right?"
Next year's event hasn't happened yet, and the village chief wouldn't believe it if I told him about it. But I could make use of the opportunity of studying.
"Yes, yes, don't worry, I'll take care of it. Just go back to your studies."
When Lin Shiyu told him this, he excitedly went to talk to the old man.
Now that Lin Anru was talking to him again, he was still as excited as ever, and because he was talking to a different person, he felt more at ease.
Isn't it just being a bad guy?
He can!
He is very capable!
The two chatted about the details of the newly acquired herbs until noon.
The village chief refused Lin Anru's invitation to lunch and went to find some old guys in the village again.
Lunch is not important, not at all.
There is no habit of eating lunch in their village.
Smelling the aroma of meat wafting from the Lin family, tears flowed from the corners of the village chief's mouth.
…
"I've already discussed this with the village chief, and there should be a result tomorrow. You should prepare the new herbs."
During lunch time, Lin Anru told Lin Shiyu the news.
Lin Shiyu nodded calmly: "When the time comes, just arrange for someone to come and learn directly."
"It's good that you know what's going on." Lin Anru didn't ask any more questions, but said something else: "You can also buy the herbs on the ointment. When the time comes, you can send it directly to the young master, and he can buy it directly from him."
"Okay, but I have too much on my plate. I might not be able to do that."
I am unable to do anything and have no time to spare.
"Let your brother and mother share some unimportant matters. If that doesn't work, I'll ask your grandmother to come over and help. If you need any help, I'll try my best to help you find it." Lin Anru suggested:
"I'll work hard during this period, and I'll do my best next year to have more people at home."
As long as he has achieved fame and honor, even if he comes from a farming family, buying a few servants will not be considered a big deal.
Not now, it’s too conspicuous.
Lin Boyu didn't bother to eat, his eyes kept wandering on his father and sister's faces.
He could understand what they said, but he couldn't understand what they were saying.
He wanted to ask but didn't know where to start.
"Brother, why are you looking at me? Is there something on my face?"
His gaze was too direct. Lin Shiyu reached out and touched the corner of her mouth and asked.
Lin Boyu didn't answer her, but said sullenly: "What were you just talking about? How come I don't know."
"What else could it be?" Lin Anru knocked on his head. "Besides making money to support our studies, what else could it be?"
"Your father is right." Liu said earnestly, "Son! For the sake of your two studies, it doesn't matter if your mother and sister work hard. I hope you can be worthy of our hard work.
I don't ask you to go too far in this regard, but at least you have to have a clear conscience, understand?"
"I know, Mom!"
Lin Boyu felt guilty.
Lin Boyu decided to study for an extra hour tonight.
…
The village chief is very fast.
After leaving the Lin family, he immediately asked someone to gather the old guys together and got straight to the point without any further ado.
"I've finished speaking, please see if there is anything else you want to add."
The village chief searched his mind and sat down only after making sure that nothing was missed.
