The Ultimate Prodigal Son - Chapter 973

[Chapter 973 Mission Completed]

Lin Tian always sympathizes with the poor, and he also asked the robber why he would do such a thing.

“You are a big man, but you want to rob here for a living. Don’t you know how to farm? I really humiliate you.” Lin Tian also looked unusually great under the moonlight. “To

be honest, the crops we planted this year did not have a good return. The various crops we planted could not be sold because of the suppression of each country. We also have to live. Now there is no money in the house, so we can only do this.” The

robber leader also said aggrievedly, and the four younger brothers beside him also hurried to deal with it.

“Do you have cotton in your crops? The government needs such things now. If you still have a conscience, buy all the cotton and send it to the Lin’s Imperial House in the Six Countries Merchants’ House tomorrow. There will be a big reward.”

After Lin Tian said these words, he also asked these robbers to make way. After all, he still had important tasks to do. Lin Tian and others also drove the carriage and ox cart away quickly.

When they returned to their own shop, it was almost dawn.

At this time, everyone in the shop was waiting for their arrival, and their arrival also brought hope for this time.

“Master Lin, has something happened? Why did you come back so late?” The fast horse imperial censor came forward and asked.

“On the way here, we encountered some robbers. These people also fought with us desperately, but fortunately I have the self-defense skills taught by my teacher. We rushed here only after defeating them completely.”

After Lin Tian explained, three shop assistants came out from the back. They were covered with wounds, with residual blood stains at the corners of their mouths, and their bodies were also dirty.

The fast horse imperial censor also hurriedly ordered these people to provide assistance, and the housekeeper also came out of the study.

“Why don’t you come and take a look at the bill? The money we need is not just a small amount. It requires about 400,000 copper coins. I wonder how much money the young master brought from home?” The housekeeper also asked anxiously.

“We haven’t counted the specific amount of money yet, but 300,000 is definitely enough. Steward, don’t worry. Have you priced the cotton well enough? If there is no problem, let’s start buying cotton today.”

Lin Tian also gave an order, and all the personnel were ready. The fast horse censor also put her official badge in front of the Lin family’s shop. From this, it can be seen that the Lin family received some special treatment.

A newly made big sign was also placed outside the door, with a few big words on it. In response to the needs of the government, a large amount of cotton was purchased, 15 copper coins per catty, and all merchants were requested to support the government in time.

With the crowing of a cock, the morning sun brought a ray of light to the world.

Gradually, pedestrians noticed the big sign in front of the Lin family’s shop, and also noticed the token of the fast horse censor. Fifteen yuan per catty was also a very high purchase price. Soon someone began to sell cotton in front of the Lin family’s shop.

And you get what you pay for. Everyone took out the cotton they had saved to exchange for money. After all, money was still the most valuable thing in this era, and cotton would depreciate at any time.

Looking at the busy crowd, the whole street was lined up. After all, the price of 15 yuan was the highest. Other merchants bought cotton at a maximum of 10 yuan per catty. Most of the people who came for such a cheap price were women.

Half a morning passed quickly, and one ton of cotton had been collected, which was far from enough for ten tons of cotton. After seeing this touching price, some merchants also took out their own inventory to exchange for money. The

overall operation was also in order. The housekeeper was responsible for the overall expenditure of money, and the shop assistant was responsible for weighing the cotton. After each truck of cotton was purchased, it would be stored in the backyard of the Lin family.

A whole morning passed, and only two tons of cotton were purchased. This result was the best. Everyone told each other that such a good thing would not happen once in hundreds of years.

At lunch, Lin Tian was the first to speak.

“The ten tons of cotton this time must be completed today, otherwise the task will be completely delayed. I hope everyone will work harder. After hard work, there will be a sunny day.” Facing Lin Tian’s encouragement, everyone was full of fighting spirit.

Another afternoon passed, and only two tons of cotton were harvested. There were still two tons of cotton left to reach the target. Seeing that the sun had already set, Lin Tian was worried about it.

“Master, I’m afraid that the cotton purchase will not be completed as usual. It seems that this year will be another difficult winter. Perhaps many people will die in this winter cold, but the master has done his best.” The

fast horse censor looked at the situation in front of him and comforted Lin Tian.

“Don’t worry, we will never give up until the last moment. I hope everyone can cheer up and work hard for the last time in the final task.”

Finally, the whole night fell, and there was still a little more than 10 tons of cotton. It was impossible to complete such a difficult problem now, but the cotton that had been purchased had to be transported back to the barracks as soon as possible for production. After

everyone was ready to go, they counted the overall vehicles and weight. The housekeeper also saw that there was not much money left, and used the money to buy some meat to compensate these people.

All the pension money was spent now. The housekeeper said with great relish: “It feels good to be busy. Even if I am penniless, I can still feel the joy of hard work.”

After getting ready, everyone was about to leave the Lin family compound.

At this moment, suddenly there were some sounds of horse carriages and ox carts from a distance. These sounds sounded very strong, which also made Lin Tian suspicious. Is there anyone else buying goods at this late hour?

I’m afraid it’s not appropriate! Out of curiosity, Lin Tian also opened the door of the store to wait and see.

The situation at this moment also surprised Lin Tian. He quickly shouted for the fast horse censor to come to the door.

At this time, the front of the Lin family compound was full of horse-drawn carriages and ox-drawn carts. The pedestrians coming were the robbers who had robbed last night. They held torches in their hands and illuminated the cotton on the horse-drawn carriages and ox-drawn carts.

These robbers also sincerely repented and thought that what they did was very wrong. After receiving the command of Lord Lin Tianlin, they also decided to change their ways and be good people.

“Lord Lin, I still have some unrented cotton in my house, a total of two tons. I wonder if it can meet Lord Lin’s needs?” It was the bandit leader who spoke.

At this moment, Lin Tian was also in tears. He couldn’t believe that the bandit leader could actually deliver all the cotton. He was also sighing at the warmth of the world.
