Chapter 10: The Mad Genius

!After a moment, the two arrived at the back hall and saw Magistrate Wu Yong of Jianghe County.Wu Yong was over forty when he passed the imperial examination, and subsequently bought a position as mag..."How about we make another bet"

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

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

After spending these few days together, Yang Lin had already discovered that this woman he had picked up didn't treat him as her own man at all. She always kept her distance from him and even acted wary.

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

This kind of personality, if you don't make her completely convinced, she won't truly like you.

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

Li Yuyao frowned.

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

The use of intimidation is crude but surprisingly effective.

Li Yuxiang raised an eyebrow: "What do I have to fear! But if you lose the bet, what will you offer as compensation"

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 worried.

But there are also those who are completely unconcerned.

for example, Xiaojiu.

She was just thirteen years old, still at an age of curiosity about everything. She was quick-witted and trusted Yang Lin very much.

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

Thus, along the way, only Xiao Jiu was excitedly running around Yang Lin, looking this way and that, jumping up and down, 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 white flour, lard, coarse salt, as well as two axes, several wooden barrels, and some odd things.

The stroller was quickly filled.

As a result, Yang Lin impulsively bought two more small strollers! He continued his spending spree and spent money lavishly.

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

He's so brave!

Just now, I spent more than twenty taels of silver!

That's a common household's earnings for several years.

Only they knew, Yang Lin was also very downhearted.

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

Spend money

There's really nothing to spend on.

It's nothing more than buying some food and necessities, getting the women some rouge, powder, hairpins and ribbons.

Besides, goods are extremely scarce.

Yang Lin had always wanted Sichuan peppercorns and chili peppers, but the whole of Great Yan still didn't have them. Soy sauce hadn't been invented yet. There weren't those dazzling street snacks from past lives, no spicy duck necks, roasted pig trotters, or stinky tofu.

So, what else could he buy

It seems that after getting rich, the only way to enrich life is to rely on oneself!

Even buying new clothes for women is a difficult task.

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

Either you buy fabric and make it yourself, or you go to a tailor shop for processing, and the price is not cheap. Ordinary rough cloth clothes cost hundreds of wen, if it's silk, ordinary people can't afford it at all.

The common people never had more than two sets of clothes in their lifetime. If one got torn, they would patch it up and wear it again. After they wore it out, they would give it to their eldest son, the eldest son would pass it on to the second son, and the second son would pass it on to the youngest...

Yang Lin didn't plan on making the clothes himself, so he had to find a tailor shop. When the women heard that Yang Lin was going to make them clothes, their previous displeasure vanished instantly, and they were all excited.

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

The tailor shop owner greeted with a cackle.

Before he could finish speaking, a group of beautiful women walked in behind Yang Lin. He immediately widened his eyes in surprise.

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

"Ladies, choose freely, select at will. I'll go attend to something."

Having handed over fifty taels of silver to Li Yuyao, Yang Lin left.

Li Yuyao held the heavy silver in her hand, her heart filled with a multitude of emotions.

Since becoming a refugee, she has been homeless and starving. The clothes she still wears are the servant's attire she changed into when she fled the palace. They are now tattered and barely wearable.

She had long wanted a new set of clothes, but knowing their current situation, she wasn't exactly wealthy.

Unexpectedly, in just three days, not only did I pay off my debt but also made so much money...

The tailor was also dumbfounded.

My Lady

What's up

Are these all his wives

However, the tailor was also very happy 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 row of houses not far from the city.

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

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

My cousin's name is Du Jing. He is two years older than me. When Yang Lin's family was not yet poor, the two families were very close, and when we were young, the two of us often played together.

At that time, Yang Lin naturally couldn't understand these words. Du Jing often had some whimsical ideas, which were also incomprehensible to the world, and he was regarded as a madman. Over time, he even got the nickname of "Du the Madman."

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

Where's he a lunatic He's a genius!

This uncle's family isn't doing well these days. He failed the local exams repeatedly and has no official rank, so he is considered a failure in others' eyes.

While I have a good theoretical knowledge base, turning those theories into practical results requires more than just myself.

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

However, as soon as he arrived at Du Jing's doorstep, he saw a young woman coming out of the door.

When the woman saw Yang Lin, she was slightly taken aback. She then gave him a cold smile: “Yang Lin What brings you here”

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

The woman is Du Jing's wife, Yu Juan.

"He died!"

Yu Juan said angrily.

"Hmm"

Yang Lin frowned slightly.

Seeing Yang Lin's astonishment, Yu Juan coldly said, "You can look for anyone you want, but my family is barely scraping by, we don't have money to help you, so please leave."

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

Then Zheng Juan just saw the pastries Yang Lin was carrying in his hand, and couldn't help but be stunned.

It's actually dim sum from Baihua Ju!

"Oh, your sister-in-law is just teasing you. Come on, come on! You don't have to bring a gift."

Saying that, she proactively took the pastry from Yang Lin's hand and said with a smile: "Your brother is in the house, go quickly."he just found it strange how Yang Lin knew all of this. Especially the thing in gunpowder, what was it… potassium nitrate She had never even heard of it.However, Li Yuhua felt that things weren't as...
