The Ultimate Prodigal Son - Chapter 944

[Chapter 944: Dusk Rain]

“This is not just my credit. If the commander says so, it’s really too much praise for me, Lin Tian.” Lin Tian didn’t dare to accept the commander’s praise.

After all, the commander is now in a position above everyone else in the entire Yan State.

“I wonder what you are doing here this time?” The commander was also very puzzled. Why would someone like Lin Tian ask to see him?

“I came here because the emperor asked me to tell you that this time our Yan State is going to make a big move!” After saying this, Lin Tian was also waiting for the commander’s response.

After all, if this reform does not get the commander’s approval, I’m afraid it will be just empty talk.

And from the conversation just now, Lin Tian has clearly noticed the commander’s attitude.

It seems that the commander did not support Prime Minister Zhao in the usurpation of the throne this time, but relied on his own strength to maintain the stability of the entire Yan State system.

“Prime Minister Zhao didn’t actually run away. The Imperial Censor and I discovered his trick of pretending to be dead in Lantian Prison, so he is now imprisoned in the forbidden area of the palace.”

The general was also surprised to hear these words. He might also be surprised by the trick of pretending to be dead.

“The trick of pretending to be dead you mentioned, could it be the powerful medical skill mentioned by Zhuangzi? I have heard of such medical skills. Isn’t it possible that such medical skills have been lost?” The general was also very confused.

“Perhaps most people think that it has been lost, or perhaps some people with ulterior motives have already learned it and happened to use it in the rescue of the statue this time.” After saying this, Lin Tian also had a worried look on his face.

“I’m afraid this technique of pretending to be dead has no recognition effect. It is said that this medical technique was developed by Zhuangzi himself in order to be free and unconstrained. Zhuangzi was once forced to stay in the State of Chu to be an official, and Zhuangzi also used this method to escape.

Until now, the rumor among the people is that Zhuangzi is dead, but Zhuangzi is now leisurely and comfortable on Xiaoyao Mountain. But I don’t know how you recognized this technique of pretending to be dead?” The general was also full of doubts. He couldn’t believe that the young man in front of him was so unfathomable.

“I also accidentally flipped through my master’s classics and happened to encounter such a thing, so his superb medical skills were recognized by me.

At this time, the general had already developed a kind of respect for Lin Tian from the bottom of his heart. A commoner could actually identify the shocking conspiracy of the palace. From this incident alone, we can see Lin Tian’s extraordinary intelligence.

“I don’t know who your master is. Could it be Xuanweizi of Yunmeng Mountain? “The general was also surprised, eager to hear Lin Tian mention his master.

“My master once warned me not to talk about my master and the sect to the world after I became a disciple. I will be an outstanding person if I do my best and do not do things that are against my principles. I hope the general will forgive me.” Lin Tian naturally did not want to mention his past.

“Your master actually gave me such advice, so I can’t ask more, but I still have to thank you for saving the core system of our Yan State.” The general also clasped his hands together as a sign of respect.

At this time, Lin Tian already knew that the general was a trustworthy person. Facing the core of the Yan State, the general could also take up this major pillar. This time, the change of dynasties needs the support of the general, so there will naturally be less resistance.

“If there is nothing else, I’ll leave first. Your general’s mansion is busy, and I’m afraid that wasting your time here will affect the progress of your handling of things. I’m leaving now. “After saying this, Lin Tian was also ready to get up and leave.

After seeing this, the Taiwei could not force him to stay. After all, he could vaguely sense in his heart that the young man in front of him had strong ambitions. If Yan State could keep this person, Yan State would benefit a lot in the future.

“Then you go slowly, and we will have a chance to talk slowly in the future. There are really too many things to do recently. Just the matter of recruiting soldiers and buying horses has made me rack my brains. I have to think about it carefully after you leave.” The Taiwei also shook his head helplessly, with a look of pain on his face.

At this time, Lin Tian had already walked to the door of the side hall. After hearing what the Taiwei said, he stopped at the door.

“I don’t know what the Taiwei means? Although the territory of Yan State is not large, its population ranks among the top three in the Warring States Period. How can it be troubled by the problem of recruiting soldiers and buying horses?” Lin Tian was also puzzled. He couldn’t even imagine that the great Yan State would have such a problem. “

May I ask the Taiwei, why is my great Yan State troubled and worried about recruiting soldiers and buying horses? “Lin Tian also asked out of curiosity.

“Yan State is located on the coast of the Bohai Sea. People rely on fishing for a living. At the mouth of the sea is the mouth of the Yellow River. Whenever the water of the Yellow River recedes, a large amount of fertile land and fish are left to people.

And people are scrambling for such benefits. Under the current rules of Yan State, those who join the army cannot be treated well, and only a comfort award is given to the family after the war. People’s enthusiasm for joining the army has been hit. “

This is why the annual recruitment incident is troubled. After the Taiwei finished speaking, he spread his hands.

“Why not revise the existing rules and regulations to allow soldiers to get a good treatment, so as not to let them be disappointed in the country?” Lin Jian was also curious and hurriedly asked. “Prime Minister

Zhao has participated in politics for more than ten years, and he has not turned this issue into the focus of his reform. Prime Minister Zhao’s reform is just to improve some superficial things, but just to make some changes to the land problem. It can be said that he has been mediocre.

As the Grand Commandant, I naturally have no right to say anything about him as the Prime Minister. After all, my position is still one level below him, and the Emperor has turned a deaf ear to these questions. The soldiers in Yan State are now middle-aged men in their thirties and forties. “

Lin Tian was just about to leave here. After hearing the problem of the source of soldiers mentioned by the Grand Commandant, he returned to his seat and had a detailed discussion with the Grand Commandant.

“Now that Prime Minister Zhao has been arrested and imprisoned, what should we do now?” Lin Tian also considered that there was a loophole in the core organization of Yan State. Now that one of the three pillars has been lost, it will be very troublesome for the disposal organization of the entire Yan State.

Since Prime Minister Zhao was arrested, because no one was taking care of the affairs of the Prime Minister’s Mansion, all these burdens fell on the Emperor alone, and the Emperor looked pale and thin, which was also an important reason.

“I am also trying my best to go to the countryside to recruit soldiers, but there are very few people in the city who join the army.” The Grand Commandant also immediately said such a major problem.

And it was precisely because of this sentence that Lin Tian began to doubt.
