Through the troubled times and famine, I just want to farm peacefully

"Little brother, how can you say that about father? Father is also thinking about the entire Su family!" Su Kunliang's eldest brother, Su Kunchang, the future head of the Su family, said indignantly.

Other elders of the Su family also stood up to accuse Su Kunliang.

"Aliang, your father is also doing this for the Su family."

"You and your son have such ability, but you don't care about your own family, but benefit outsiders instead."

"If you had shown these skills earlier, the Su family would not have married so many daughters to merchants."

"..."

Listening to everyone's accusations, Su Kunliang became so angry that his face turned blue.

When the head of the Su family saw that everyone had almost finished talking, he winked at his eldest son.

Su Kunchang said at the right time: "Fourth brother, father wants you to bring Yunzhi and Kaifa back to Cangwu County to be a teacher at the Su Family Academy. It doesn't matter where you teach, why do you have to go to that remote place like Longtan?"

"Brother, you are joking. At the beginning, the clan was unable to find a way out for so many disciples, so I retreated and followed my old friend to Longtan."

Su Kunchang's face turned red and he was immediately speechless.

Patriarch Su: "It was a last resort. Now that the academy in Cangwu County has been built, I believe that with the efforts of so many of our children, we will be able to make the Su Family Academy famous throughout the Southland again!"

"Father, the academy is only for teaching and educating people, while Longtan College is for people to learn a skill to make a living. This runs counter to my educational philosophy. After repeated consideration, I still want to continue to stay in Longtan College."

Although he couldn't bear it, Su Kunliang still said what he was thinking.

After living in Longtan for two years, his eyes saw different things.

Seeing that he couldn't be persuaded, the head of the Su family frowned, rolled his eyes, and settled for the next best option.

"Then let Yunzhi and Kaifa bring them back."

Hearing this, Su Kunliang was a little bit unbelieving. If he still couldn't see through the intentions of his father and the elders at this moment, then he would be really stupid.

He refused righteously, "Father, these two papermaking technologies were provided by Longtan. Yunzhi just studied according to the recipes Longtan gave. If it were someone else, with the recipes in hand and more research, they would surely succeed."

"To put it another way, even if Yunzhi comes back, do you think Longtan will let him take his skills away?"

The head of the Su family and a group of elders were completely silent.

The bamboo paper recently launched by Longtan is better than the frost paper produced by the family, and the price is affordable. Once it was launched, it was well received by the majority of readers.

"As for the disciples of my clan that I brought with me, if they are willing to return to the academy, I will never stop them."

Su Kunchang looked at him with scrutiny in his eyes. He knew that among four brothers, their father had always valued the youngest brother.

Not only did he have many sons, but each of them was well-educated and promising.

"Fourth brother, you're not coming back?"

Su Kunliang shook his head, his attitude more resolute than ever before.

"In the future, I will settle down in Longtan. The Su family is full of talented people, so the opportunity in Cangwu County will be left to the clan members."

The other elders wanted to persuade him further, but the head of the Su family waved his hand to stop them.

The Su family is not the kind of treacherous family. Since the youngest son has made a name for himself, they will let him continue to stay in Longtan.

You can't write two "Su" characters with one stroke. No matter where they go, their surname is always Su.

Lin Yinan didn't know what happened to the Su family in Cangwu County and the Yu family in Nanzhou Prefecture, and she didn't have the energy to pay too much attention to it.

After the potato harvest, the rice was also harvested smoothly.

Then they will be busy planting the second crop.

The successful production of bamboo paper brought Longtan a large amount of money.

Wu Xingwang's feet were so light that he seemed to be floating as he walked. Who could believe that they had only been in the South for a few years and they had grown their business so big.

This made him determined to sell bamboo paper, Yuanbao brown sugar, fruit wine, etc. all over the country.

Looking at Wu Xingwang who was talking with saliva flying, Lin Yinan considerately handed him some tea.

"City Lord Lin, what do you think of my plan?"

Lin Yinan praised, "Very thoughtful."

She couldn't bear to refuse, but still persuaded him, "Uncle Wu, the current situation in the Central Plains is not optimistic. I think you should not go there for now. We can't lose our lives for such a small amount of money."

"But this opportunity is rare." Wu Xingwang was not the kind of person who did not know the importance of the matter, he said regretfully.

"A new wave of refugees is expected to arrive in the Southland in about a month."

Wu Xingwang stood up immediately as if he had thought of something, "Then I'll go out again before then and collect the money that should be collected."

"Okay, I'll bring more people with me later."

Seeing that he couldn't persuade him, Lin Yinan had no choice but to send more people to protect him.

After Wu Xingwang left, Lin Yinan began to take stock of the assets he had, his fingers quickly fiddling on the abacus.

In the past six months, he made a lot of money from paper, fruit wine, and Yuanbao brown sugar, but the bulk of the money still came from the salt fields.

We will distribute the dividends to everyone at the end of the year, so we can have another prosperous year.

When she put away the account book, she saw Yun Mo coming out of nowhere and leaning against the door watching her busy.

"When did you come? You didn't even say a word."

"Since you were concentrating on your work, I didn't bother you. Are you done?"

Lin Yinan stopped what he was doing and looked at him, "What's the matter?"

"The mare on the mountain is about to give birth. I want to ask Doctor Lin. Do you want to go and take a look?"

"Doctor Lin can deliver a mare?" Lin Yinan asked puzzledly.

Yun Mo frowned. He had never thought about this question.

"He's a doctor!"

Doctors should be able to treat illnesses!

Lin Yinan: "Aren't there people who can raise horses in the mountains?"

“They don’t deliver horses.”

He had no other choice but to come to see Dr. Lin.

"How are the mares sent from Cangwu County?" Lin Yinan has been busy with farming work recently and has no time to go and see the five mares sent by the Deng family.

"How about I take you to see it?" Yun Mo suggested.

Lin Yinan neatly put away the booklet on the table and asked Qianwu to go to the backyard to pull her horse out.

Qian Wu insisted on going with him, and finally, Lin Yinan rode with her and followed Yun Mo up the mountain.

When the three of them arrived at the stable, Dr. Lin was carefully examining the mares about to give birth in the stable.

The three mares in the stable kept wagging their tails and paddling the ground with their front hooves from time to time. It was obvious that the mares were very anxious and nervous.

"Doctor Lin, what's the situation?" Lin Yinan asked softly as she saw him examining her carefully.

Doctor Lin stood up, carefully avoiding the pile of fresh horse manure on the ground, his face a little serious: "It's time for the baby to give birth, but not so soon." He glanced at the sky outside and continued, "The fastest one will have to wait until the first half of the night."

After saying that, he asked Cui Gensheng to clean up the horse manure on the ground and replace it with hay.

Mares that are about to give birth will have frequent bowel movements.

"Doctor Lin, how come you can deliver horses?" Qian Wu asked curiously.

After checking the three horses, Doctor Lin washed his hands and walked out of the stable, laughing, "I used to work with cattle, sheep and mules in the village, so you'll learn it naturally if you're exposed to them more."

"Dr. Lin, you are so amazing!"

Since the waiting time was a bit long, Yun Mo arranged for Dr. Lin to have a meal and rest first.

Doctor Lin didn't hesitate and left with the secret guard, carrying his medicine box.

He is old and still has to stay up late at night to deliver mares, so he needs to get enough rest.

It was still early, so Lin Yinan and Yun Mo went to visit the newly opened horse farm in the back mountain.
