Lin Yi was busy taking care of pigs, cows and food all day long. It was not until noon that he started preparing to weave cloth.

But I saw a mother and daughter kneeling at the door.

"Master Lin, please be kind!"

"We...we have no more wool..."

The mother frowned and spoke tremblingly.

Five pounds of wool is not a small amount.

Even if there is a lot of wool, you still need sheep.

Even if wool is cheap, you still need money to buy it.

After the mother and daughter delivered five kilograms of wool, they no longer had any money to exchange for meat.

"The destined person has arrived."

Hearing the sound, Lin Yi stood up and walked over.

"Please stand up, both of you. Why are you performing this grand ceremony?"

The so-called asking questions even though you already know the answer is probably just this kind of words and actions.

Lin Yi calculated early on that in Niujia Village, some people had more cattle and sheep, while others had fewer.

The war in Liangzhou is urgent, so a large amount of food will inevitably be withdrawn, and the people will naturally suffer.

Although Niujia Village was not greatly affected, it was almost in a state of "no food".

My "foolish act" of exchanging five kilograms of wool for meat will inevitably attract a large number of people to come and exchange.

Those who get the meat are naturally filled with joy.

But without meat, in this almost "no food" state, they will inevitably starve.

When they are hungry to a certain extent, they will naturally come to you, the "big customer", for help.

The mother and daughter's words and actions after they stood up and asked Lin Yi for meat just confirmed his guess.

"I can give you meat and food, but you have to help me do things."

Lin Yi slowly said, "Not only that, tell the other families in Niujia Village who don't have wool that as long as they come to help me, they will get meat according to how much they make!"

Hearing this, the mother and daughter's faces were filled with surprise and a bit of fear.

"Can you weave?"

Before he finished speaking, the mother and daughter nodded.

"Then get to work. I'll tell you what to do."

Then, Lin Yi took the two of them to the loom and with a little guidance, they learned how to weave woolen cloth.

Starting with this mother and daughter, the news of Lin Yi recruiting workers spread throughout the village.

Many people came to visit.

"Everyone, I know you all are confused."

"But I do have a lot of food stored up. As long as you help me, I'm willing to share this with the whole village!"

As soon as these words were spoken, people began to call him Mr. Lin the Great Kindhearted.

After convincing the villagers, Lin Yi divided them into four groups.

The first part was to collect wool. With Lin Yi's instructions, they not only collected wool in the village, but even went to other villages to collect the "worthless" wool.

The second part is to clean and select the wool. Although it is not as tiring as the previous task, it still requires some eyesight.

The third part is weaving. The mother and daughter control the loom specially made by Lin Yi, and the rest are to take out the ordinary looms of each family and work together in the open space in the village.

The last step is to cut the woolen cloth, which also requires good eyesight. One piece is one meter long, no more, no less.

At lunchtime, Lin Yi "opened the granary and released grain" and the villagers ate from the "big pot". They felt that they had made a fortune.

In these years of near famine, gold and silver in the village are not as valuable as food and meat!

"Master, is this too late?"

Xiaomei was relieved to see the villagers coming together to help, but she was still extremely worried.

"There's still time. Let's have a good rest."

Lin Yi took a quick look and was about to go back to his room to rest when he saw the village chief walking towards him with a puzzled look on his face.

"Young man, where did you get so much food?"

As soon as they met, the village chief couldn't help asking questions, even though his wife and daughter were already involved in the weaving process.

"This business is really good. I made a little money."

Lin Yi slowly said, "Since everyone has provided me with wool, I would like to ask everyone to join in so that we can share the food."

The one hundred taels of deposit he received yesterday were all exchanged by him for various grains.

From vegetables to meat, from grains to flour, we have everything, not only in terms of quantity, but also in terms of nutrition!

He didn't calculate it carefully, but roughly estimated that this amount of food could at least feed the village for ten days!

"By the way, Village Chief, how about you help me take a look and record how much work each of these four groups of people has done?"

Lin Yi smiled and said, "When I wake up tomorrow, I will distribute the food according to the amount they made."

After saying that, Lin Yi ran to the room to rest.

The village chief stroked his beard and thought again and again.

In the end, for the sake of food, he did as Lin Yi said.

Xiaomei was in a daze all day and was anxious.

He didn't know what to do, so he could only stay in the room and read with Lin Yi for fun.

At night, Lin Yi slept soundly, but Xiaomei was so worried that she tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.

After a night, the sun rises in the east the next day.

Lin Yi stretched, but saw that there was some darkness under Xiaomei's eyes.

"Master, how can you sleep?"

"That's five hundred feet in three days!"

Xiaomei was afraid of waking Lin Yi up last night, so she kept silent.

"Let's go out and take a look."

Lin Yi said, changed into clean clothes, and went out to check.

The whole process lasted all night.

The villagers worked really hard to get food, from the afternoon to the evening and then to this morning.

A large pile of woolen cloth was piled up in front of Lin Yi's house, like a small mountain.

"How much has been done?"

Lin Yi walked up to the village chief who already had a black circle on his face and asked slowly.

"Five hundred and three feet."

The village chief looked down at the record and answered slowly, yawning.

"what?"

Xiaomei was shocked. Five hundred feet was done in just one night?

After that sound, she was so surprised that she couldn't speak.

"Everyone, take a break."

Only after Lin Yi gave an order did the villagers stop what they were doing.

But most of the wool is not finished yet.

"Xiaomei, please help me distribute the food. Please distribute all the food I bought yesterday."

After Lin Yi gave the order, he asked the village chief to pick out a few strong people to load the five hundred feet of woolen cloth onto the cart. Then, those people followed Lin Yi and pulled the cart all the way to Liangzhou City.

It was still early and the market had not yet opened, but a large number of merchants who came into the city to do business were still waiting at the door.

Lin Yi and his group pulled several carts of woolen cloth and also lined up in a long queue.

Among the merchants waiting with them were the cloth merchants who had mocked Lin Yi the day before.

"Are you trying to trick the fool again?"

"You were lucky last time, but you can't be unlucky every time, right?"

The merchants laughed and even told the joke about the fool who bought woolen cloth for one ounce of silver to the merchants waiting nearby.

Suddenly, everyone burst into laughter.

This made the villagers who were pulling behind Lin Yi look embarrassed.

"Mr. Lin, these cloths..."

The villagers hesitated to speak, as if saying more would cause even greater laughter.

"Do not care."

"We are not going to the market to do business."

Lin Yi waved his hand slightly, remaining calm.

When the city gates were opened, these merchants went into the market one by one to do business. When they arrived at Lin Yi, they were stopped by soldiers.

"Stop, why are you carrying so many things?"

The officers and soldiers stared at the carts of cloth with frowns on their faces.
