The Ultimate Prodigal Son - Chapter 295
[Chapter 295 Doing Business with the Emperor]
Some are happy and some are sad. The emperor was happy, but after Liu Zhang received the news, his face was as stinky as the stone in the pit.
The servants who were serving beside him saw the bitter face of their master, and they did not dare to act rashly, and they worked more carefully. They
didn’t even dare to breathe.
“Lin Tian is really lucky. He can’t die like this!”
Liu Zhang cursed and threw the teacup in his hand to the ground.
The cup broke with a sound, and the tea splashed everywhere. The broken fragments popped out and cut the cheek of the maid next to him.
Although the maid felt pain, she didn’t dare to speak or scream, for fear of making her master unhappy. This was her fate.
They are the lowest people in this society. They have signed a contract to sell themselves to the landlords and rich people since they were young.
If you want to survive, you can only swallow your anger!
Lin Tian asked the imperial guards to take the captured beasts back to the barracks and keep them under strict supervision, but they can’t kill them.
Although the imperial guards were very puzzled, these beasts were causing chaos and harming the people, shouldn’t they be skinned and eaten, why should they be kept alive.
Although he was very confused, Lin Tian still had the military token in his hand, which was equivalent to the emperor’s will. In addition, after so many days of getting along, the imperial guards also looked at Lin Tian with new eyes.
People who practice martial arts will always involuntarily listen to the words of those who are stronger than themselves. They have seen Lin Tian’s ability.
“You pull these beasts back to the barracks, and Lord Lin and I will report to the emperor!”
The leader of the imperial guards ordered the soldiers in a loud voice.
After the imperial guards responded loudly, they pulled the beasts back to the barracks.
Lin Tian and the leader of the imperial guards went to the imperial study to report to the emperor.
“Your humble servant pays homage to the emperor. Long live the emperor!”
The emperor was reviewing the memorials. After Lin Tian waited for the eunuch to announce it, he knelt down as soon as he entered the door and saluted the emperor!
The leader of the imperial guards next to him could only kneel on one knee to salute because he was wearing armor.
“My dear Lin, please stand up quickly without any formalities. Your wounds are not healed yet, so there is no need for such a great ceremony! Come, please take a seat!” When
the eunuch Shun heard what the emperor said, he hurried to help Lin Tian up and sit on a chair beside him.
Lin Tian took advantage of the situation and pretended to be seriously injured, trembling a little, which made the emperor feel even more guilty.
There was no one in the court who could really help him like Lin Tian.
No one was useful!
The leader of the Imperial Guards on the side didn’t say much when he saw Lin Tian like this, and looked at Lin Tian with concern.
He thought that Lin Tian just relaxed after seeing the emperor, and it turned out that he had been relying on perseverance to hold on and not fall down.
If Lin Tian knew what the leader of the Imperial Guards thought, he would probably laugh so hard that his mouth couldn’t close.
It turned out that his acting skills were so good, he must be awarded an Oscar statuette!
“Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace!”
Lin Tian was secretly happy in his heart, but his face still looked like he was not well again.
“Your Majesty, I have completed my mission successfully and will come back to report!”
The leader of the Imperial Guards said when he saw Lin Tian sitting down.
He wanted to report back quickly and have a good meal in the barracks. The food he had eaten outside these days was really bad.
The leader of the Imperial Guards briefly explained the matter, and the emperor let him go.
Isn’t Lin Tian still here? He knows the specific details!
“Your Majesty, I have fulfilled my mission and quelled the rebellion of wild beasts!”
Lin Tian said slowly, his tone sometimes strong and sometimes weak, as if he was really hurt.
“By the way, Your Majesty, I have used up this military token, and it is time to return it intact.”
Lin Tian said as he took out the military token from his arms.
Eunuch Shun took the military token and presented it to the emperor.
The emperor took the military token and put it away, and the smile on his face became even brighter.
You must know that this is a military token that can command tens of thousands of Imperial Guards in the capital. If Lin Tian has any crooked thoughts, the imperial city will suffer a great disaster.
Now that Lin Tian took the initiative to return the military token without hesitation, the emperor was naturally even happier.
It was a blessing for the emperor to have a minister who was not tempted by the military power! How
could Lin Tian not be tempted? Who would not be tempted by power?
But Lin Tian knew very well that the emperor was willing to take out the military token, so there must be a perfect guarantee. How could the emperor not be afraid of death?
If Lin Tian dared to have any crooked thoughts, he might not see the sun tomorrow. “
To accompany the emperor is like to accompany a tiger. This sentence is not just a casual remark!
“My dear Lin, you have worked hard. I will reward you greatly! Tell me, what reward do you want this time!”
The emperor was very pleased and wanted to reward Lin Tian.
Lin Tian thought, this is just right. When you want to fall asleep, someone will hand you a pillow!
“These are what I should do. For the people to live and work in peace and happiness, I am willing to do my best until I die!”
Lin Tian was very excited and wanted to stand up and salute, but he sat back down again, as if his legs and feet were weak.
The emperor was even happier when he saw him like this. It was his blessing to have such an official who cared about the people!
“Don’t be excited, my dear, sit down. I know you are doing this for the people, but this reward must be given. Otherwise, if it gets out, who will be willing to work hard for the court?”
“I don’t want anything. It’s fine if the emperor just shows his appreciation. But I want to do another business with the emperor!”
Lin Tian climbed up along the emperor’s pole and put forward his own request.
“Oh, what business? Tell me about it. My dear Lin’s business has never disappointed me!”
The emperor also tasted the sweetness of doing business with Lin Tian. Last time, he just wrote a word for him and got a steady stream of dividends every month.
The emperor is also a human being. As long as he is a human being, he likes money. The emperor can’t spend money casually.
He has a limit on how much he spends. The money in the treasury is not his alone, and he can never touch it.
What he can touch is the inner treasury managed by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The money in it is the money that the emperor can spend, and it is not just him alone. The food, clothing and expenses of the entire harem are all paid by the inner treasury.
The emperor had no money either, so Lin Tian suggested that there was a business to be done, which would definitely be very profitable, and he became interested all of a sudden!
“I want to open a zoo in the capital!”
Seeing that the emperor was very interested, Lin Tian proposed his idea.
“What is a zoo?”
The emperor asked in confusion. He was well-read and had never heard of this word, just like the hot pot restaurant before.
But it must be something that makes money like the hot pot restaurant, otherwise Lin Tian would not do it.
“A zoo is a place with all kinds of animals for people to watch, and then charge admission!”
Lin Tian patiently explained to the emperor.
“The ticket is to buy a ticket if you want to go in and see it. This ticket is called a ticket! Opening this zoo is to make money by selling tickets!”
“I understand, but where do these animals come from?”
The emperor immediately discovered the problem and asked hurriedly.
