The Ultimate Prodigal Son - Chapter 974

[Chapter 974: Harvest]

“Master Lin, I still have some unrented cotton in my house, weighing two tons. I wonder if it can meet Master Lin’s needs?” The one who spoke was the bandit leader.

At this moment, Lin Tian was 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.

Looking at the transport convoy in front of him, Lin Tian was very happy. He naturally knew what the cotton meant to him, and for the bandit leader, since he could have such a repentant heart, Lin Tian was very pleased.

“Are these all the cotton for you and your family? Sure enough, I didn’t misjudge you. You are the important person to complete this mission. Thank you very much for sending these two piles of cotton. Follow me in the future. I promise not to treat you unfairly.”

Lin Tian was also very moved. What he said was not a whim, but he could see the charity in the eyes of the bandit leader.

“Are you serious, sir? I have only been to school for a few days and I only know a few words. I wonder if

I can do anything for you? If I delay your business, I am afraid I can’t afford it.” The bandit leader also quickly pointed out his shortcomings. “As the saying goes, people are trained. I used to know nothing, but through acquired learning, you can also become mature. If you don’t mind the position I give you, you can naturally find a way out.”

Lin Tian also pointed out the right path for the bandit. If he can bravely follow this path, he will naturally get a lot of salary.

“I am willing to follow you, sir. My relatives and I picked these cottons overnight. I hope it can be helpful to you. For these two tons of cotton, I, Zhang, will not accept a penny. I will treat it as a tribute to you.”

This bandit leader also knows a lot of etiquette. It seems that he has suffered a lot in life. Facing his chivalrous and courageous spirit, Lin Tian naturally appreciates him very much.

“As for the remuneration, we will definitely pay you. It’s not easy for you, the common people. We will not take advantage of you, but we are also short of money recently and cannot afford so much cash. After I finish some things,

I will return all the remuneration to you doubled. I also hope that you can trust the country and the government. This is all I can do.” Lin Tian also looked at the peasants in front of him.

Most of them were poor people, and their clothes and faces made them look very old, but from their eyes, we can see that kind of hope, that light will never go out.

“Now all the remaining people of the Lin family, quickly load the cotton into our carts, the sooner the better. Since we have already collected their cotton, we must naturally return these horse-drawn and ox-drawn carts to them. This is the capital for their livelihood.”

Suddenly, the bandit leader also stood on a carriage, turned around and said to the relatives and friends behind him:

“Dear relatives and friends, it was Lord Lin who made me realize my previous wrong behavior, and we have also changed our ways. Facing Lord Lin’s teachings, we must naturally listen carefully, and Lord Lin seems willing to give us this opportunity.

I hope that after studying with Lord Shang Lin, I can gain a lot of knowledge, and when I become successful, I will come back and make everyone rich together. Do you agree?” The bandit leader also spoke to the people behind him with his head held high.

“We believe in you. We hope you can follow Lord Lin and be down-to-earth and assist him in his work seriously.”

“Well done, Zhang Yang. The three of us brothers are also looking forward to the day when you become successful. I hope you will not let us down. We will continue to be brothers after you come back.” “

Son, when you work for the government in the future, you must go all out. There are not many of us common people who can work for the government. I hope you can seize this opportunity seriously so that we can bring honor to our ancestors.”

The person who spoke was Zhang Yang’s father. He was hunched over and leaned on a worn-out wooden stick, but he also held his head high when he spoke, and would not give up the last dignity because of his physical reasons.

“I understand, father. I am a man of seven feet tall, and I will repay the country.” After the bandit leader finished speaking, he also kowtowed three times to his father Xianggui, which was a common custom in Yan State.

When he was about to leave home, kneeling and kowtowing to his parents expressed his parents’ trust in him, and also represented that his parents could wait until their children became successful and enjoy the happiness.

Everyone present was moved to tears. After all, facing the scene in front of them, no one could believe that the remaining two tons of cotton could be collected with the prestige of the bandit leader alone.

“Since the cotton has been collected, why don’t we leave quickly? After all, these cotton issues cannot be dealt with individually in large quantities, otherwise it will delay the development of the whole thing.” Lin Tian also asked all these people to go back.

But suddenly Lin Tian also thought of a problem. He didn’t know where these people came from, and how to repay them for the two tons of cotton.

“Dear fellow villagers, where are you from? When I, Lin Tian, become successful, I will never forget the favor you have given me now.” Lin Tian also shouted loudly to the crowd.

And Zhang Yang also stood in front of Mingtian, clasped his fists and said respectfully: “We are from a small fishing village on the coast of the Bohai Sea. This village is not big. The people who came today have accounted for 2/3 of the village. Our village is called Fish Backbone.”

“What a mighty and domineering name. The word backbone can already imagine the importance of your village. It seems that your grandson is responsible for these responsibilities and duties. It is also the arrangement of fate.” Lin Tian also praised.

“Thank you for your compliment, sir. It is our honor to work for the government.” Zhang Yang also said quickly.

“Now that we have achieved our goal, we will set off immediately and go to the military camp to provide supplies for our soldiers.” After Lin Tian finished speaking, he and the fast horse censor went forward together.

Wherever the two of them went, the villagers of Yujiliang also made way, and the torches lit up the whole street also illuminated the road where Lin Tian was driving.

The drivers of the carriages and ox carts behind them had already loaded the cotton of the villagers of Yujiliang, which shows how efficient the people in the palace are.

“Let’s go, let’s go.”

At Lin Tian’s command, everyone slowly left the Lin family shop. Lin Tian rode his warhorse to Zhang Yang’s side.
