Frontier Army Warrior

Chapter 309: Spending Too Much Money

Four or five guards lifted up the iron pipe that was as thick as a calf and had been connected long ago, and slowly placed it upright into the wellhead.

Then fix the iron pipe at the wellhead with an iron frame that has been made in advance.

Under Lin Feng's guidance, the installation of the well-killing device began.

Everyone gathered around, not daring to breathe, staring at Lin Feng and the others busying themselves without blinking.

The water coming out from the front had changed their mentality of watching the fun into one of surprise and astonishment.

Now I am looking forward to getting water from the well.

What kind of spiritual impact can this thing give me?

In less than half an hour, several guards had completed the assembly of the well pressure device.

Lin Feng went forward and checked carefully. Seeing that there was no problem, he asked the guard to bring a bucket of clean water.

Put the well pressure handle to the highest point and pour clean water into the iron pipe.

Lin Feng operated it himself and pressed the handle hard.

As he turned the well pressure handle up and down, water slowly began to emerge intermittently from the outlet pipe.

The water flow gradually increased and then began to rush.

Amid the exclamations of the crowd, a large amount of muddy water turned clear and gushed out of the water pipe.

The exclamations of the onlookers immediately turned into cheers.

Countless officials and people celebrated and expressed their surprise and astonishment to each other.

What kind of magical method is this?

What kind of person is this?

Ma Guili and three other professional well diggers and water explorers had been dumbfounded for a long time.

However, the one who reacted the fastest was Master Qu.

"Haha, don't worry. Who else has a tool like this?"

Ma Guili quickly approached him.

"Master, what do you say?"

"Look carefully, these are government officials. Will they dig wells for the common people?"

"Master, do you mean... that we will still have to fight you?"

"Of course."

Ma Guili breathed a sigh of relief, at least he was not unemployed.

Even if I make less money, it's fine.

Cheng Liang was the one pressing the handle. Lin Feng took the towel handed to him by Bai Jing and wiped the water stains on his hands.

"Okay, how long did it take?"

"Almost three hours, brother."

"Fortunately, this is only in the experimental stage. Once it becomes programmed, I estimate that it will take less than two hours to create another one."

"Brother, you..."

Lin Feng heard something strange in Bai Jing's voice and turned to look at her.

Bai Jing's bright black eyes were filled with tenderness as she looked at Lin Feng sparklingly.

"what happened to you?"

"Brother, you are a banished immortal from heaven..."

Bai Jing's feminine voice and the tenderness emanating from her body made Lin Feng dazed.

He glanced at the joyous people around him.

"Hey, this is a public place, not suitable for children."

"Hate..."

Lin Tong had already squeezed to the front and reached out to tug at Lin Feng's sleeve.

"General, you... you have this method, why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"I just thought of it too. I couldn't have said it earlier."

Lin Tong rubbed his hands, looking embarrassed.

"Well...well, I think...it's profitable..."

"late."

"Alas, is there anyone who would cheat his uncle like this?"

Lin Feng stared at him speechlessly.

Lin Tong rubbed his hands embarrassedly.

"Ahem, I was wrong earlier. I was so snobbish. I apologize to you."

Lin Feng shook his head: "It's just human nature, there's nothing to owe or not."

"Hey, what are you going to do next?"

"If you can run your business well, I will do my best to support you in expanding it, thereby driving the economic development of the entire region."

"Okay, there's a food shortage in the west of the town, and I want to start a food business."

"Well, the next step is to collect some taxes."

"That's normal. There's no government that doesn't collect taxes. Just don't be too harsh."

"Don't worry, the tax system is under study, and progressive taxation will be implemented in the future."

"Huh? What does that mean?"

"The greater your profit income, the greater your tax, and vice versa."

Lin Tong frowned and pondered, trying to digest Lin Feng's intention as quickly as possible.

Bai Jing kindly reminded him.

"Look at these people. They are tax-free now. When they become wealthy, they will no longer have these preferential conditions."

Lin Tong smiled and said, "I know that, but there is no such thing as free food in the world."

"Just understand. We need smart business people here."

Lin Tong chuckled and pointed to the pressure well that was pumping water out.

"What a good deal, let you take it."

Lin Feng glanced at him and said, "Remember, technology is the primary productive force."

"what?"

Lin Tong looked confused.

Lin Feng waved his hand: "You will understand later. Let's go and get some programming stuff."

"Ah, what programming?"

Lin Feng, who had already taken a few steps, turned around and said to Lin Tong.

"Get some pig iron as soon as possible. This is a good business. I'll take care of you first."

"Okay, I guarantee it's top-quality pig iron."

Lin Tong smiled as he watched Lin Feng being surrounded by a group of officials and walking into the castle.

Hey, he’s my nephew after all. It’s such a good deal, I’ll just give it to him.

More people came from all directions and surrounded the well tightly.

Lin Feng still handed over the production and use rights of well drilling and well pressure to Lin Tong.

The government is not a place to do business, so businessmen should do this job.

But the taxes that should be collected cannot be less than a penny.

Although the tax rate was higher than other businesses, Lin Tong still happily took it over.

This is a very profitable business, and it is also a long-term and stable business.

How big is the entire west part of the town?

We are all suffering from drought and water shortage. Water is the source of life and no one can live without it.

Lin Tong stood alone in the field, laughing.

Bai Jing followed Lin Feng back to the command center. She had been holding back words for a long time, but finally, only the two of them were left.

"Brother, how can you just give up the water business... Even though he's your uncle, but..."

Lin Feng smiled and took the tea handed to him by Bai Jing.

"Although I don't want to cheat him, there is no other way. Someone has to pay for this."

"What's the bill?"

"It's just about paying the bill. If you think about it, with such a large area of ​​land, getting water from the well is just a stopgap measure."

"what?"

Bai Jing looked confused and couldn't think straight for a moment.

"If we want to completely solve the water problem, we need to develop large-scale water conservancy projects. Relying solely on wells will not do the trick."

"Uh...are you trying to trick me, bro?"

"It's not a scam, it's just not as profitable as he imagined, but it's almost enough to make back the money."

Bai Jing rubbed her head gently, looking relieved.

"Alas, thankfully, brother won't cheat me."

Lin Feng temporarily solved the water problem, and the next issue was intercropping of grains.

Zhou Laoyuan promised that he could harvest crops three times a year.

This is no joke.

Of course, he didn't dare to joke with Lin Feng.

Before Zhou Laoyuan came over, Bai Jing took out the account book and showed it to Lin Feng.

"Brother, I'm out of money. You're giving me this and that for free, but I'm running out of money."

Lin Feng frowned as he looked at the account book.

Indeed, things have been developing too fast these days and too much money has been spent.

It is not the time to recycle at this stage. We have to find a way to get more money to circulate.

In the entire western part of the town, the richest place is undoubtedly the provincial capital.

There are many officials, wealthy businessmen and landlords there, and huge amounts of wealth are concentrated in the provincial capital.

Bai Jing waited quietly for him to speak.

"I'm trying to think of a solution. I've been spending a lot of money lately."

"It's not just a little bit, brother. It's too much."
