The Ultimate Prodigal Son - Chapter 959

[Chapter 959: Cotton Crisis]

“I support Lord Lin’s approach very much. We can’t let any of these spies go. If one of them sneaks into our country, it will be a disaster for our country.” The fast horse censor also expressed his own thoughts. “

It seems that we still need to make a detailed plan for recruiting soldiers and buying horses. Otherwise, if this mission goes wrong, it may backfire. Everyone needs to think twice before acting.” The emperor also said.

“I’m afraid this matter should be put aside for the time being. We should hold a court meeting before this. At the meeting, the emperor will talk about this matter, let the ministers think of a way, and let those who instigate rebellion know that we have no doubts about them.” The

general also hurriedly said it. After all, they are now united in hatred and hatred, thinking in the same direction and working in the same direction.

“Let’s put this matter aside for the time being, and I will quickly hold this meeting. After all, we can get a lot of clues from this meeting.” The emperor also said to everyone.

“Your Majesty is right. Why don’t we put this matter aside for now and talk about something closer to us first?”

“Some problems have occurred in the military camp recently. Every winter, our soldiers use a lot of cotton to make military uniforms, and recently our financial system seems to have a loophole. There is also a short circuit in the purchase of these cottons.

I don’t know why. I’m afraid that this time the uniforms should be the first task to be solved. When winter comes, we are on the coast of the Bohai Sea. The temperature is below zero. Everyone knows that water freezes into ice. Soldiers can’t bear these grievances!”

The general also said it quickly. After all, such things can’t be delayed. Seeing that autumn is about to pass, heavy snow will also come. This matter must be solved as soon as possible.

“Is there a problem with the financial system? I’m afraid that Zhili Neishi is in charge of our country’s finances. You should ask him. Now find him immediately and ask him face to face why the property is in deficit because of this.” The emperor also slammed the table in anger.

“The current situation is not conducive to us doing this. According to what I and the Imperial Censor of Kuaima know, this Internal History Zhili is also under the control of Prime Minister Zhao. I am afraid that all the finances of our Yan State have been squandered by him, or it is possible that he has used it to buy people’s hearts.

After all, when we go to do things now, we need to use money to buy people’s hearts everywhere, and we can’t make a fuss now. Let them wait for the mistakes made in the past. After all, we have to settle the accounts one by one after another after all this matter is resolved.”

Lin Tian’s analysis was correct. This Internal History also squandered all the property. It is naturally impossible for the people under Prime Minister Zhao to turn against them now. We must also maintain their hearts and let them continue to relax their vigilance.

“What should we do? The cotton problem is exactly what our Yan State is worried about, and for imported cotton, we may not be willing to import it in the name of our country. Besides, we don’t have the money to buy it now. What should we do?”

The Taiwei also sighed helplessly, sighing that a man who stands tall and upright would be blocked by such a problem.

Everyone was silent, and they couldn’t think of a suitable way to deal with such a simple problem.

After everyone was silent for a moment, Lin Tian also said:

“I do have a way, but it is probably impossible to completely solve this problem. Perhaps it can solve some urgent problems, including the production of cotton belts and military uniforms. We can take care of all of them.”

Lin Tian also smiled and looked at everyone.

“Hurry up and tell us what the plan is, so that we can solve the problem at hand.” The emperor also spoke quickly.

“Let me make it clear first, regarding the purchase of cotton this time, including the production of military uniforms, please don’t say that I am acting out of personal feelings. If you have such an idea, this plan cannot be implemented.” Lin Tian also wanted to hear everyone’s ideas.

“As long as it can solve the problems of our army, it can be done without stealing or robbing. As long as it can solve the problem, we will forgive it if it is partiality and perverting the law.” The anxious Taiwei also said one after another, and it seemed that he was also anxious.

“My family is engaged in cotton business, including the production and ruling of these clothes. In the entire Six Kingdoms Merchant House, my family’s business is also relatively prosperous, which may affect the pressure of other merchants.

In the past few months, cotton has not been sold in large quantities, but has been piled up at home. These cottons are fresh finished products. My father also spent a high price to buy them from Qin State, but because of the blows of these merchants, the business has not prospered.”

After Lin Tian finished speaking, he smiled helplessly, saying that he had also come up with a simple solution.

“How much cotton do you have in stock? Is it enough to solve the urgent problem? We need at least ten tons of cotton, otherwise our warmth function will be greatly reduced.” The Taiwei, who knew about the life in the army, also asked Lin Tian directly.

“Ten tons may be a huge number, but I think my family can take out some savings and buy all the cotton in the entire Six Kingdoms Merchant House. Even if it costs more, it doesn’t matter. It may not be a problem to get these ten tons of cotton.”

After Lin Tian expressed these ideas, he was praised by everyone.

“If you really serve the country, how can you say that you are bending the law for personal gain?” said the Taiwei.

“If your family can buy all the cotton and solve the cotton crisis, you will be a hero of the entire Yan State. After this event is successfully completed, your family will be promoted.” The emperor also said this quickly. “

Then I am willing to do my best to help the master complete the purchase of cotton this time, and perhaps send more people to buy it.” The fast horse censor also said kindly.

“If what can be bought is cotton, our Yan State’s finances may be able to support it, and you don’t need to spend money.” The emperor also considered the Lin family everywhere. After all, the price of such a large amount of cotton would not be a small number.

“I am afraid that the current Yan State’s finances cannot buy such things. I roughly calculated that it would cost hundreds of taels of silver to buy cotton this time, and such a price is probably an astronomical figure for Yan State.”

The reason why Lin Tian dared to say this was because he had checked the account book of Zhili Neishi in the palace, and the silver contained in it was also very little, and it was probably not enough to support the expenses this time.
