The first lord of the poor family

Chapter 20 Team Formation
Lin Hai didn't expect the county magistrate to be so generous. He really made a lot of money this time.

Little did he know that the county magistrate had been having a lot of headaches recently.

Beasts often hurt people, which greatly stained his political performance.

Someone hunted and killed five wolves at once, and finally had an explanation to the people.

"You're welcome. In the future, you can find ways to kill more wild beasts, which can be regarded as eliminating harm for the people!" Zhang Xuelong said, stroking his beard.

"What your lord is saying is that with this money, we can buy more weapons. We plan to hunt tigers to prevent these beasts from coming out to hurt people."

Lin Hai said to him.

The county magistrate was indeed even more happy after hearing this.

"Okay, this county is waiting for your good news!"

Lin Hai knew that the county government would have a headache every year when hunting down ferocious beasts. It would definitely be good for him to have his own group of people to hunt and kill them.

Revealing this news to Zhang Xuelong in advance will make it easier to talk about anything in the future.

After receiving the reward, he suddenly became very rich.

Lin Hai took out 20 taels of silver and distributed it to them. "Put the money away and distribute it later. Let's go eat first and go back to training as soon as possible."

"I made a promise to the county magistrate that I will definitely kill a tiger and come back."

"The county magistrate invited you to go to the Yamen and even offered you an official position. It would be a pity to refuse."

Liu Ergou still feels very sad.

Lin Hai said with a smile: "Being an errand for the government is not as good as you think. The beasts we kill ourselves can be exchanged for bounties.

If we become servants of the government and we are asked to go hunting every day, we will only receive a salary.

There is no bounty or anything.

Calculate this account, wouldn't it be a big loss! "

"That's right, what's more, after becoming a government servant, you won't be able to take the imperial examination. Lin Hai is a scholar. As long as he can pass the imperial examination, he can become a high official.

Your vision is too short-sighted. "Wang Dayong said.

"Anyway, we will all listen to Lin Hai from now on. Let's eat quickly. After dinner, go back to training. If you can kill a tiger and come back, each person can get several taels of silver.

It’s more than what we make in a year by going hunting every day. "

"You're right, just follow Lin Hai!"

Lin Hai ordered some pancakes and two side dishes for them.

A few people ate it, wondering where they had ever tasted such delicious food in the countryside.

Everyone devoured it.

The waiter was stunned to see that this person had more food than the three of them.

"You guys are too good to eat, or do you want to make Lin Hai poor in one meal?" Wang Dayong really couldn't stand it. They ate too much than usual.

Whenever there is an opportunity, I will try my best to take advantage.
"It's okay. I make a lot of money. Just eat. Since I'm treating you to dinner, I'll definitely be satisfied. But you can't be exhausted. You'll lose more than you gain for a meal." Lin Hai said with a smile.

"Okay, give us some more pancakes!"

By the time they finished eating, everyone was burping.

Lin Hai still sat on the donkey cart and asked them to follow him on their way.

Some people also wanted to take the donkey cart, but Lin Hai drove them away.

"You eat so much, you must walk more to digest the food. If you are full, it will leave the root of the disease in the future!"

When they got home, Lin Hai asked them to go home first and come back after noon.

Qiaoer had heard the noise at home a long time ago and ran out to greet it.

"My husband is back! Have you collected all the rewards?"

"Of course," Lin Hai handed over the baggage.

Qiaoer took the baggage and felt it was heavy in her hands. "Oh my god, how much money is this?"

"A wolf was rewarded with ten taels of silver and sold for another five taels, which is equivalent to 15 taels, for a total of 75 taels of silver.

I gave them 20 taels, and we got a total of 55 taels.

Except for the money for the meal, the rest is all here! "

Hearing that he actually made more than 50 taels of silver, Qiaoer hugged the baggage tightly in his arms.

"We have become rich. We can buy more than ten acres of land with this money!" Qiaoer's cheeks turned red with excitement.

Lin Hai led the donkey back to the yard.

"This is just the beginning. Once I train them properly and catch a tiger, the money will be even more than this."

"With so much money, I don't think there is any need to go hunting anymore. The land is enough for us to live on. My husband should study hard and become an official in the future."

"Don't worry, there is no big conflict between reading and hunting. I will take time to read carefully every day from now on."

"Ms., wash your face first, I've already prepared the meal," Qiao'er said and went back to the house to hide the money.

"No, we just came back from dinner, and we're not hungry at all. I have to go to the blacksmith shop and make something."

After Lin Hai finished explaining, he took the money and rode a donkey to the blacksmith shop.

I saw Lin Hai coming again.

The old blacksmith said: "We can't pay the debt with fish this time!"

"Don't worry, I came with money!"

Lin Hai took out a piece of silver and waved it in front of him.

The old man immediately widened his eyes and stared at the silver.

"What are you going to fight for this time? I can't find this much money!"

"Don't worry, you don't need to change. Make three more iron pipes for me last time, and also make some other things."

Lin Hai took out a piece of paper and showed it to him.

Detailed dimensions and quantities are on it.

When the old man saw that it was a big business, he was very happy.

"To build so many weapons, who do you plan to use them for?"

"Our village has set up its own hunting team, which of course requires more weapons. The others are just traps for trapping animals. I wonder if you can make them?"

"Are you looking down on my craftsmanship? You can make these things in seven days at most, is that okay?"

"It will take another seven days?" Lin Hai touched his chin, feeling that it took too long.

"There are only two of us, and seven days is already very fast. Besides, slow work will produce careful work. If we do it too fast, the quality will definitely not be good."

"Okay, just seven days. But these iron sand and darts should be made early, I'm in a hurry to use them."

"No problem, just come and pick it up tomorrow!"

Lin Hai paid the money in one lump sum and rode his donkey back home.

Wang Dayong and others were already waiting at the door, and there were actually a few other people.

"Lin Hai, these are the laborers of our village. Knowing that we have made money, we also want to hunt with you!"

Wang Dayong explained.

"Okay, there's no problem in following along. But you have to obey my orders. If you can't do that, you should leave as soon as possible."

"Of course we are willing to listen to you, and we will do whatever you want." A man named Shitou said loudly.

Lin Hai counted and there were now fourteen people.

As long as these people are well trained, they will become a force that cannot be ignored in the village.
