C126 Don't Use Your Annual Income to Challenge My Pocket Money

Looking at Lin Bei's dumbfounded expression, Ye Xun found it funny in his heart.

He coughed lightly and continued.

"Nephew, don't think that my words are just to scare you."

"You see, you are also a smart person."

"Let me ask you, since ancient times until now, have you ever heard of a family that has occupied nearly 80% of a county and can still be safe and sound in the end?"

As soon as Ye Xun said this, Lin Bei, who was standing opposite of him, woke up from his daze.

He stared blankly at Ye Xun and asked him back.

"What do you mean?"

As a student who failed to graduate from compulsory education for nine years.

He really did not understand what Ye Xun meant.

When Ye Xun heard this, he reached out and rubbed his forehead.

He realized that Lin Bei was really not easy to fool.

It was not that Lin Bei was alert and quick-witted, but that he had some verbal skills. To Lin Bei, it was like playing the lute to a cow.

It was so profound that this fellow could not understand it.

To put it simply, it could not achieve the effect of confusing the other party's mind.

Don't look at how Lin Bei would always be dumbstruck and stupefied at every turn.

However, Ye Xun now suspected that this was because Lin Bei didn't understand the meaning of his words at all.

"Brother, why are you so... stupid?"

"A big tree attracts wind, do you understand?"

"The Lin family of Lindu is too flashy!"

"It makes the entire Lindu County like your home."

"If this continues, it will only be a matter of time before you are targeted by others."

Ercole said in a huff when he saw this.

This brother of his was a transmigrator, so how could he not understand such a simple principle?

When Lin Bei heard this, he blinked his eyes.

"It can't be."

"Who will target our family?"

"Who would dare to be so bold in Lindu County?"

As soon as these words came out, Ercole instantly retreated.

Come on. He was really playing the lute to a cow!

It's better to let Master handle it.

I'm at my wit's end.

"Imperial Court!"

"Nephew, think carefully."

"In all the dynasties, which one of the people in power would allow the local power to grow?"

"Currently, the Lin family has occupied 80% of the land in Lindu County."

"The world only knows about the Lin family in Lindu, but not the Chisheng Imperial Court."

"Although the Imperial Court hasn't attacked the Lin family yet, do you think the Imperial Court doesn't want to?"

"No, that's because the Imperial Court hasn't moved to Lindu County yet."

Ye Xun looked at Lin Bei and said in a deep voice.

What he said wasn't nonsense.

It was true that the teachers of Vault Domain were respected, but the ones who managed the secular world were the emperors and generals.

There was no emperor in the world who would watch helplessly as the local powers left the control of the imperial court.

Therefore, what Ye Xun said to Lin Bei was not an alarmist.

The current situation of the Lin family in Lindu was not optimistic.

If this continued, the Lin family would be in trouble sooner or later.

On this point, the Qingyang Lin family did a better job.

Don't look at the Azure Yang Marquis, Lin Ho, for he was a liar.

But he was smart!

He had long given up on managing his fiefdom and expressed his loyalty to Chisheng Imperial Court.

As long as the Azure Yang Lin family was rich, they did not want land.

Although a huge amount of wealth could make people jealous, with the foundation of the Azure Yang Lin family, they could totally deal with it.

However, the Lin family of the Lindu was the complete opposite.

In terms of financial resources, they might not have much.

However, the land was as plentiful as a cow's hair.

Land was the foundation of a country.

As long as one was not an idiot, one could foresee that the Imperial Court would not allow the Lin family to continue to take over the land.

In fact, the insiders of the Lin family had also seen this point.

This was why they had a strategy to hand over the land to Lin Bei.

In the eyes of the wise men in the Lin family, young master Lin Bei was a useless piece of trash. Sooner or later, he would lose the land.

This way, the Lin family would be able to resolve the crisis without losing any reputation. It could be said that killing two birds with one stone.

Unfortunately, no one had expected this.

The useless young master in the eyes of the world was unexpectedly talented in this aspect.

Not only did he not lose the land, he even managed it with great influence. In just a short month, the land had increased by nearly 30%.

"Nephew, do you understand now?"

Seeing Lin Bei's tongue-tied and dumbfounded expression, Ye Xun coughed lightly and asked.

When Lin Bei heard this, he quivered.

He finally understood!

There was too much land in his hands. Now, he was going to be targeted by the Emperor.

Hiss!

How could this be?

Without land, how can I still be a contractor?

But... if it's the Emperor, I don't think I can handle him either.

With this thought in mind, Lin Bei instantly panicked.

Being the landlord had become the only joy he had in this unfamiliar world.

If he couldn't even be a landlord, what else could he do?

Was he really going to eat and wait for death?

The more Lin Bei thought about it, the more panicked he became. He hurriedly asked while stuttering.

"Then... What should I do?"

Ye Xun and Ercole looked at each other.

The fish had taken the bait!

"Of course we are looking for a strong person to support us!"

Ercole curled his lips and replied as if it was a matter of course.

Lin Bei thought for a while and felt that Ercole's words seemed to make sense.

"Powerful? Where can I find powerful people?"

"There is no one in Lindu County that is stronger than our Lin family."

He looked at Ercole and asked.

Upon hearing this, Ercole smiled.

"Looking for a school."

"Brother, teachers are respected in this world!"

"Although the Lin family has produced teachers before, they are all in the outer counties after all. Distant water can't save them from getting close to the fire."

"Only by finding a school in Lindu can we protect the Lin family."

Actually, Ye Xun could also say these words.

But what Ye Xun said had a different nature.

As a successful father, there were some things that could be easily accepted by a trustee.

"The school."

"The schools in Lindu have declined."

"Can it really protect our Lin family?"

Lin Bei hesitated for a moment and asked.

There was a school in Lindu County, so of course he knew about it.

The teachers in Vault Domain were respected, so he naturally understood.

However, he didn't have a deep impression of the school in Lindu.

The only thing he remembered was that the ownership of the school was still in his hands.

"Brother, you can rest assured about this."

"My teacher has been transferred to Lindu and will be the principal."

"With him here, Grade B School in Lindu will regain its glory sooner or later."

"At that time, not to mention the imperial court of Chisheng Kingdom, even the three empires of Southern Border will not dare to have any ideas about my brother."

Ercole said proudly after hearing this.

Lin Bei was overjoyed when he heard this.

"Alright, alright, alright. It's settled then."

"All the properties under my name are attached to the school."

"Clan brother, wait for me. I'll go get the land deed right away."

Lin Bei was an impatient person. As he spoke, he suddenly stood up.

He wanted to get the land deed and kill the imminent danger in the cradle.

However, just as he took two steps forward, he suddenly stopped.

"No!"

"Don't tell me you want to take advantage of my business?"

Lin Bei turned around and looked at Ye Xun and Ercole suspiciously.

When Ercole heard this, a look of disdain appeared on his face.

"Are you coveting your properties?"

"Brother, you really dare to put gold on your face."1

"How much profit can those properties of yours earn in a year?"

Seeing Ercole's disdainful expression, Lin Bei immediately became unhappy.

He spread out his hands and said casually.

"So-so, a hundred thousand Spirit Stone a year."

"Compricing it to silver taels, about ten million silver taels!"

In Lin Bei's view, this profit was enough to scare Ye Xun and Ercole into a daze.

After all, the Chisheng Kingdom's annual tax was only around fifty million taels.

However, just as Lin Bei finished his words.

Ercole's scoff was heard.

"A hundred thousand Spirit Stone a year?"

"Hehe, it's really a lot. It's barely enough for my pocket money for a day."

"Clan brother, please don't use your annual income to challenge my pocket money."
