The Ultimate Prodigal Son - Chapter 970
[Chapter 970: Living in seclusion]
Since the Qin people were suppressed by the Wei State, they have never left Hangu Pass. For the humiliation of more than 100 years, Qin Xiaogong naturally thought that he had a decisive decision. Only by carrying out reforms and absorbing talents can the Qin State become rich and strong.
“At that time, I had memorized the entire book of Shangjun by heart, and then the master gave me a book of Zhuangzi’s Happy Journey. There are some taboos in it that all things in the world will submit to the heart, and everything will eventually turn into dust. No matter how great the merits are in life, we
must avoid the light when he shines. The master also wants to tell us that when you achieve fame and fortune, you must retreat unscathed. The reason for this is to avoid the disaster of being killed.” Lin Tian also told the two.
“At that time, Shang Yang had led the Qin State to prosperity and strength. He and Che Yingjing had already made an agreement that when they got old, they would retire safely and return to Shangjun, which was granted to Shang Yang by Qin Xiaogong, to live out their retirement.
But Shang Yang was afraid that the newly appointed King Zhaoxiang of Qin did not have a good foundation and might not be able to cope with the threats from the Qin aristocratic families. Therefore, Shang Yang was killed in order to stabilize the order of the entire country.”
Mingtian was also telling the lies that the master had warned them. As long as they achieved success and fame, they could save their lives by retiring safely. Otherwise, they would bring disaster to all living beings.
“No wonder the young master became more and more clear after returning from Guiguzi. When he returned to the study, he studied the contents of the books seriously, which made the old master very happy. He thought that he had learned some business from Guiguzi,
but he didn’t expect that you were learning the current affairs of the world. But for some reason, your mind became more and more clear after you came back, and you were very knowledgeable about business. I don’t know what the reason is?”
The housekeeper also asked the young master what happened that year. After all, it was less than two years since the young master came back. He participated in the content of the royal family all day long, and the communication between your father and the housekeeper became less and less.
“When I was studying in the mountains, these talented people from all over the world had their own skills, but I had nothing. Only mischievousness suited my personality, but when I found that the gap between us was getting bigger and bigger.
I began to secretly learn their skills. Asking when I don’t understand is a good method. I also mastered many principles of the world, and thus trained myself now.” Lin Tian also explained to the housekeeper what happened that year.
“Then why is the master’s martial arts so powerful? Last time in Lantian Prison, I didn’t see your moves clearly, but you took all the items. Why is that?” The fast horse censor could never forget that detail. “
But after we learn something from Master Guiguzi, we have to use it after all. If we really participate in the current affairs of a certain country, it will inevitably lead to the disaster of killing, and we also need some basic fighting skills to protect ourselves.
If we are plotted against by others just after participating in political activities, then what is the point of going up the mountain to learn? We must ensure our own safety before we can better save the country.” Lin Tian looked at the fast horse censor’s persistence and laughed. “
In fact, I am a person who pays special attention to details. Last time when I was acting with my clansmen, I could see that you were agile and your moves were very fast. I knew you were not an ordinary person. I didn’t expect to hear you say that today.
Since there are so many secrets that we don’t know, it seems that I will learn a lot from you in the future. It is indeed a wise decision for the emperor to let me follow you.” The fast horse censor laughed, after all, there are not many such masters.
“Then we won’t say much. If the housekeeper and the master still want to hear Lord Lin’s story, they also want to wait until our national crisis is completely resolved before we can talk in detail.”
After all, national affairs must come first, and the fast horse censor doesn’t need to waste time anymore. Wasting a little more time will delay the overall matter.
“Yes, the housekeeper doesn’t know how much money we have left at home, and how sure we are about the rental of cotton this time. If we can’t buy it according to quality and quantity, it will bring Yan State into a dangerous situation.” Lin Tian directly hit the point.
“If all our stores are sold, the original price will be greatly discounted, but after all, this is also the main way to solve the crisis, and there are still some savings at home for my grandfather and me to support our retirement.
If you follow what the young master said, all our retirement money will be taken out for you to buy cotton, so I will arrange this matter as soon as possible, and there will be a result tomorrow morning, but I’m afraid we need manpower to cooperate.”
After the housekeeper finished these words, he asked the fast horse censor how to solve the manpower problem?
“If you need manpower, I can help you as soon as possible. Tell me the approximate number of people you need. I will go back to the palace to bring you people now. After all, there are still many things to do in the palace.” The fast horse censor was also straightforward.
After a rough calculation, the butler reported the number of twenty to the fast horse censor.
“Twenty people are not a problem. The situation is urgent. I will go back to the palace to get people now. I will bring you back within an hour. I will also arrange some carriages to support the transportation of these cotton.
After all, cotton is very precious now. Naturally, we have to use carriages to transport it, and we will spend a lot of money to buy all these cotton. I hope the butler can make a detailed calculation. The money you spend today will be returned a hundredfold after our Yan State turns over.”
After the fast horse censor finished speaking, he also rode his warhorse quickly through the darkness. Now he also has an urgent matter to go to the palace to replenish supplies.
At this time, the housekeeper also began to make detailed calculations, and had to have a rough estimate of how much money was needed for these 5 tons of cotton, otherwise the entire plan would fail due to insufficient property.
“Master, how about this? You go back to the old house immediately and tell your father to take out all our pension money and transport it to the store tonight, so that it will not affect the operation of the next day. Otherwise,
if the money is transported on the second day, it will delay a lot of opportunities and affect the business.”
The housekeeper was also straightforward. Such efficiency surprised him very much. He seemed to have returned to the feeling at the beginning. After joining the Lin family, he had already been a housekeeper. At that time, he was favored by his father because of his high efficiency.
