The Ultimate Prodigal Son - Chapter 968

[Chapter 968: Raising Cotton]

“So what if I am the Imperial Censor of the Fast Horse? I still have to listen to the orders of Lord Lin?” The Imperial Censor of the Fast Horse also boasted about Lin Tian.

“What Lord Lin? Do you mean that Lin Tian has been promoted to an lord now? This is incredible.” The housekeeper was also very surprised. He couldn’t believe that in just three months, Lin Tian could be promoted to a fifth-rank official.

“This is nothing. Now he is already favored by the emperor. If things are completed successfully by the Mid-Autumn Festival, I am afraid that Lord Lin will be able to become the prime minister of our Yan State. At that time, you will enjoy wealth and honor.”

The Imperial Censor of the Fast Horse also said such good news, which made the old man very happy.

“Okay, okay, now I am still a fifth-rank official, Doctor Lin? Things in the future are still a variable. Don’t draw conclusions so early. Isn’t it also a face-saving thing for you to flatter me all day long?” Facing Lin Tian’s reprimand.

The Imperial Censor of the Fast Horse also smiled playfully, which shows how harmonious the relationship between the two is, which also made the housekeeper happy.

“If our Lin family can have an official, these merchants will not dare to bully us. They really rely on the fact that we have only money. They also hold official positions in private, so they also suppress us a lot.”

After saying this, the housekeeper became even more angry. After all, as a commoner, it is not easy to make such a big business without any support.

“Housekeeper, I came here today to ask for something. I wonder if your current physical condition can listen to us?” Lin Tian also saw that he had wasted a night. Such things cannot be delayed. He hurried to tell the truth as soon as possible.

“You say, my physique is still very good. I drank mutton soup and ate herbs. Now I feel twenty years younger.”

After the housekeeper finished speaking, he also laughed.

When Lin Tian saw that the housekeeper was in good health, he also told him his grand plan.

“The State of Yan has also encountered some crises recently. I have been busy dealing with these issues for the past three months. And for the coming winter, the State of Yan is in urgent need of cotton. Ten tons of cotton are needed for emergency use, and I have no other choice.

The State of Yan has also encountered some financial problems. I hope that our family can donate all of this cotton to the country, and you can solve the crisis in the State of Yan.” After Lin Tian finished speaking, he looked at the old butler anxiously, wondering whether he would agree.

At this time, the old housekeeper’s eyes lit up, and he said to Lin Tian: “The country is in trouble, and we, the people, must naturally contribute to the country. However, we still have five tons of cotton in our home, which may not be enough to support the ten tons of cotton.

If we can buy from other merchants, only in this way can we reach that number, otherwise it will be impossible to complete. If we buy from them, their bid is likely to be more than 50% profit on the original price.

In this case, I’m afraid we won’t be able to afford it, unless we sell our old capital to make the required amount of cotton, but this time our goods were not sold, so we must spend our old capital.”

The old housekeeper also calculated the account clearly. At this time, Lin Tian had made up his mind. He had discussed with his father that he must sell his old capital to contribute his part to the country.

“Butler, I have already thought about it. I think it is absolutely necessary to provide assistance to the country. As a businessman, we naturally need to understand the truth. The country will never treat us unfairly.

This may be a profitable investment, or it may completely destroy our Lin family’s business, but in any case, I hope to save the country from the war. Don’t you think so?” Lin Tian also expressed his thoughts concisely.

The butler was also silent, obviously planning for the interests of the entire Lin family.

“If the young master insists on doing this, butler, I will definitely help you with all my strength, but it’s just that your father’s lifelong efforts will probably be gone, and this master may not be able to do it.” After the butler said this, he was silent. “

I have discussed it with my father. My father obviously supports my work. The essence of a businessman is to serve the entire country. We started from the country and naturally have to end with the country.” Lin Tian seemed to see through the essence of everything at this time. “

Old butler, I will definitely go all out. As long as you need it, I will definitely help you without hesitation.” The old butler also stepped forward.

“I feel relieved with your words. We must help the country through this crisis this time.” The fast horse censor also cheered for the two.

“How should we arrange it specifically? You two are businessmen, so you naturally understand the reason. I’m afraid I can’t help.” The fast horse censor also looked helpless.

“No, I’m afraid you will play a huge role this time, and you may be a key figure.” Lin Tian also said it.

“What? I don’t understand the routine of businessmen at all. I just eat, drink and have fun all day. How can I help you?”

“This time we are going to buy cotton from other merchants, and you, as an official, must stand up and let other merchants know that we are serving the palace, and they will also take into account the face of the country and lower their bids.

And this will save us a lot of money.” Lin Tian also expressed his thoughts.

“The young master is indeed wise and intelligent. He can think of such details. He is really a rising star. If the country allows you to govern, the entire Yan State will probably be like the Qin State, standing in the east like a giant dragon.”

The butler also praised Lin Tian. “In that case, let the young master decide on the task this time, and make a decision immediately, so that there will be no further delay.” The butler was also resolute.

But Lin Tian also thought that this time he was helping the country, and he should let the butler know what a great thing he was doing.

“Butler, I have something else to tell you. Do you know what to do with the cotton this time?” Lin Tian also asked the butler.

“I think we should make some clothes for the palace? Or some daily necessities such as quilts?” Based on his life experience, the butler also spoke up.

“Hahaha, it seems that the butler is unaware of what happened in Yan State. Then let me tell you what happened in Yan State that made your Lin family work for Yan State, and what you did is something that changed history.” The Fast

Horse Censor pretended again in front of Lin Tian.
