Chapter 10: The Mad Genius

ings that must be dealt with strictly. To avoid future trouble, one can only prioritize being cautious first and then kind later.Everyone nodded in agreement.But they all felt that it was just cast ir..."Why don't we make another bet"

Facing Li Yuyao's icy gaze, Yang Lin still wore a smile on his face.

"If I can complete these orders within three days, then from now on, you will willingly become my wife, how about that"

Over the past few days, Yang Lin had discovered that this woman he'd picked up didn't treat him like her own husband at all. She always kept her distance from him and was even wary of him.

She is calmer, more rational and prouder than other women. At the same time, she is intelligent, strong, and never gives up.

If you don't make her truly convinced, she won't genuinely like you.

Yang Lin not only wants her body, but also her heart!

Li Yuxi frowned.

"Well, are you afraid" Yang Lin asked with a smile.

The intimidation tactic was crude, yet surprisingly effective.

Li Yuxiang raised an eyebrow: "What do I have to be afraid of! But if you lose the bet, what will you use to pay"

Yang Lin smiled and said, "Remember, as long as I dare to bet, I will never lose."

"Let's go shopping."

Yang Lin walked in the front, swaggering and unconcerned.

The women following behind were filled with worry.

But there are also those who are completely carefree.

For example, Xiaojiu.

She was only thirteen years old, still at the age of curiosity about everything. Her mind was quick and she trusted Yang Lin very much.

In her eyes, if Yang Lin could even make such incredible tofu, then no matter how unbelievable something was, he must be able to do it.

Thus, all the way, only Xiao Jiu was excitedly circling Yang Lin, looking this way and that, jumping around, very happy.

And Yang Lin, after receiving one hundred taels of silver, also acted like a nouveau riche, spending money like water.

Not only did he buy a lot of rice and pork, but also flour, lard, coarse salt, two axes, several wooden barrels, and some strange things.

The stroller was quickly filled.

Yang Lin, in a fit of impulsiveness, actually bought two more small strollers! Then he continued his extravagant spending spree.

Looking at Yang Lin's way of spending money, the women were secretly amazed.

He's so brave!

Just now, I spent over twenty taels of silver!

That's quite a sum of money, the equivalent of several years' worth of income for an ordinary family.

Only they knew, Yang Lin was actually very frustrated too.

Because the variety of goods in this world is simply too limited!

Spend money

There's really nothing to spend money on.

It's just buying some food and necessities, getting the women some rouge and powder, hairpins and ribbons.

Furthermore, goods are extremely scarce.

Yang Lin had always wanted Sichuan peppercorns and chili peppers, but the entire Great Qin dynasty didn't have them; soy sauce hadn't been invented yet; there were no street foods like those from past lives, no spicy duck necks, roasted pig trotters, or stinky tofu.

So, what else can he buy

It seems that after becoming wealthy, one still needs to rely on themselves to enrich their life!

Even buying new clothes for women is a difficult task.

In this era, there were almost no ready-made garments for sale.

Either you buy fabric and make it yourself, or you go to a tailor's shop for processing, but the prices are not cheap either. Ordinary coarse cloth garments cost hundreds of wen, and if it's silk, it is simply beyond the reach of ordinary people.

The common people never had more than two sets of clothes in their lifetime. When they wore out, they would patch them up and continue wearing them. After they were done wearing them, they would pass them down to their sons. The eldest son wore them after the father, then the second son wore them after the eldest, and finally the youngest son wore them after the second.

Yang Lin didn't intend to make clothes himself, so he had to find a tailor shop. When the women learned that Yang Lin was going to make clothes for them, their earlier displeasure vanished instantly, and they all became excited.

"Excuse me, sir, what would you like to order"

The tailor greeted with a beaming smile.

Before he could finish speaking, a group of beautiful women walked in behind Yang Lin. His eyes widened instantly.

"Clothes, shoes, one set per person." Yang Lin said.

"My ladies, choose freely, pick whatever you like. I'll go take care of some things."

Taking out fifty taels of silver, Yang Lin handed it to Li Yuyao and then left.

Li Yuyao clutched the heavy silver in her hand, a multitude of emotions swirling within her.

Since becoming a refugee, she has been homeless, starving, and the clothes she's wearing are still the servant's outfit she changed into when she escaped the palace. They're now tattered and barely wearable.

She had long wanted a new outfit, but knowing her current circumstances, she wasn't well-off at all.

Result unexpectedly, in just three days, not only did he pay off his debts, but he also made so much money...

The tailor was also dumbfounded.

My lady

What

Are these all his wives

However, the tailor shop owner was also overjoyed to have ten sets of clothes made at once.

Yang Lin left the tailor shop, bought two boxes of pastries, and walked toward an ordinary courtyard not far from the city.

He has an uncle who lives here, and this is his only relative in the county.

The reason he specifically came to visit relatives was because there were some particularly interesting things about his memory of this cousin.

My cousin's name is Du Jing. He is two years older than me. Before Yang Lin's family fell into hardship, our families were close, and we often played together when we were young.

In my memory, one night, the two of them were lying on a haystack in the village, looking at the stars. Du Jing told him that he suspected the earth was a sphere, and the stars in the sky were very, very far away from them...

At that time, Yang Lin naturally couldn't understand these words. Du Jing often had some outlandish ideas, which were also incomprehensible to the world, and regarded as crazy by people. Over time, he even earned the nickname "Du the Madman".

The original Yang Lin didn't understand, but now Yang Lin, recalling past interactions with Du Jing, was simply astonished.

What a genius! He's not crazy, he's brilliant!

This uncle's family isn't doing well now. He has failed the provincial examinations repeatedly and hasn't achieved any official rank. In other people's eyes, he's a waste.

While I have a lot of theoretical knowledge, to turn those theories into results, I would still need more than just myself.

Therefore, on this trip to the county seat, I thought of this cousin and planned to visit him. I wanted to see if he was interested in joining me in changing the world!

However, as soon as I arrived at the gate of Duke Jing's residence, I saw a young woman come out from inside and open the door.

When the woman saw Yang Lin, she was taken aback for a moment, then a sneer appeared on her face: "Yang Lin What are you doing here"

"Sister-in-law, where is my Jing Ge"

Woman is Du Jing's wife, Yu Juan.

"He's dead!"

Yu Juan said angrily.

"Huh"

Yang Lin frowned slightly.

Seeing Yang Lin's surprise, Yu Juan said coldly, "You can't find anyone to help you. My family is struggling and has no money to support you. Just leave."

Saying that, he charged at Yang Lin like a bold fly.

Then, Zheng Juan finally saw the pastries Yang Lin was carrying and couldn't help but be surprised.

It's actually dim sum from Pai Huay!

"Oh, your sister-in-law is just messing around with you. Come on, come on! What gift are you bringing"

Saying that, she took the pastry from Yang Lin's hand proactively and said with a smile, "Your brother is in the house, go quickly."wd outside the hall was once again astonished.Although they had just heard the death sentence, it is common practice for such a severe punishment to be reported to the Ministry of Justice for approval...
