The Ultimate Prodigal Son - Chapter 1153
[Chapter 1153 A New Plan]
“Your Majesty, do you think I am suitable for that kind of purchase?”
After hearing the emperor’s words, Lin Tian also showed an embarrassment on his face, and at the same time he spoke to the emperor, but when the emperor heard Lin Tian’s words, he also nodded slightly to Lin Tian, thinking that Lin Tian was suitable for being a purchaser.
“If you keep procrastinating, I will give this lucrative job to someone else. In this way, I can also take the opportunity to raid your prime minister’s mansion and increase the income of my Yan State treasury.”
The emperor looked at Lin Tian’s expression and said to Lin Tian with a tough face.
The reason why the emperor said that purchasing is a lucrative job is that when purchasing the items needed for New Year’s Day, if the purchasing officials use some means, they can get a lot of benefits from it. The reason
why the emperor handed this matter to Lin Tian is that he believes in Lin Tian’s character.
The most important point is that there is no one who can be trusted by the emperor’s voice now, even the eunuchs around the emperor are the same.
If you have to say that there is, it is only the soldiers who have been specially trained by Lin Tian and sent by Lin Tian to protect the emperor and Shen in the dark.
Because Yan State said that it was recuperating, it was better to say that it was sorting out the treacherous villains in the country. From the siege of Yan State’s capital Jizhou by Qi State’s army and the assassination of many Yan State officials, it can be seen that there are traitors from other countries in Yan State.
That’s why the emperor handed the New Year’s Day procurement to Lin Tian, because a large part of the money was not spent on procurement, but went into the pockets of the procurement officials.
With Lin Tian’s intelligence, he understood after hearing the emperor’s words. It turned out that the emperor was worried about this reason, so Lin Tian nodded slightly, and then said to the emperor: “Okay, then I will worry about national affairs again.”
After hearing Lin Tian’s words, the emperor saw Lin Tian’s reluctant expression, but the emperor couldn’t say anything, after all, he was asking Lin Tian for help now.
“You have been out for such a long time. I read the memorial of General Hornet. I heard that you went to the border of the northern country? And solved the fortress problem that has existed for a long time?”
The emperor asked Lin Tian. It was not that the emperor was unwilling to continue talking with Lin Tian, but the emperor had to change the topic and no longer discuss the purchase with Lin Tian.
“Yeah.”
After hearing the emperor’s question, Lin Tian nodded slightly to the emperor.
“Yeah, very good.”
After seeing Lin Tian nod, the emperor also exaggerated to Lin Tian, but there was only this sentence, and the emperor did not say anything else, so this made Lin Tian speechless.
“That’s it? Doesn’t the emperor have anything else to say? Or give some other rewards, so that I will have more motivation to work for your majesty.”
Lin Tian saw that the emperor just nodded slightly, exaggerated himself, and did not want to say anything, so he asked the emperor.
“That’s it. What else do you want to ask? And you know the current situation of Yan State. After the war with Qi State, Yan State’s treasury has long been empty, and the people of Yan State are living in dire straits.”
After hearing Lin Tian’s words, the emperor asked back, and then educated Lin Tian earnestly. Lin Tian didn’t say anything after hearing the emperor’s words, because Lin Tian also roughly knew the current situation of Yan State.
“If your majesty can’t take out material things, you can give me some other encouragement.”
Lin Tian said to the emperor again.
“There is nothing else. If you can’t do it, tell me and I will give it to others. At the same time, you should also prepare to be confiscated.”
After hearing Lin Tian’s words, the emperor knew that Lin Tian was really unreasonable, so he threatened Lin Tian again.
“Your Majesty, as the king of a country, the supreme emperor of Yan State, how can you treat your subjects like this? You can’t do this.”
Lin Tian heard the emperor’s threat, so he could only say to the emperor with a bitter face.
“If there is nothing else, get out of here and don’t delay me from reviewing the memorials.”
After hearing Lin Tian’s words, the emperor said to Lin Tian with a dark face. There was a look on his face that said if you don’t leave, I will kick you out. So Lin Tian could only leave the emperor’s study with a sad face. Lin Tian
did not leave the emperor’s study directly. The emperor now handed over the New Year’s Day purchase to Lin Tian. Lin Tian had not received the silver for the purchase, so of course he would not leave.
So Lin Tian came to the doctor’s office in the palace. He took out the certificate that the emperor threw to Lin Tian before Lin Tian left, received the money for the purchase, and then Lin Tian returned to his prime minister’s mansion. In the
following days, Lin Tian asked the fast horse censor to come to the prime minister’s mansion as soon as he was free to help purchase the things needed by the palace, that is, the purchase was fully handed over to the fast horse censor.
And Lin Tian was thinking about one thing, that is, the way to celebrate New Year’s Day in this dynasty.
Lin Tian couldn’t figure it out, and he had never experienced New Year’s Day in this dynasty, so Lin Tian had already asked Chen Huifang and the housekeeper before. After the housekeeper and Chen Huifang said this, Lin Tian was greatly disappointed.
Because the fireworks and gatherings that Lin Tian expected were not here. If there were any, they were just some outdated ways of celebration that Lin Tian remembered from his previous life.
So Lin Tian is now thinking, should he also invent fireworks and celebrate in the palace of Yan State?
Since Lin Tian thought of this plan, this plan has been lingering in Lin Tian’s mind. Whenever Lin Tian thinks of this, he becomes extremely excited. For this reason, Lin Tian secretly made a decision in his heart that he must invent fireworks.
If Lin Tian wants to know about fireworks, he must first make gunpowder. Therefore, Lin Tian’s main task now is to make gunpowder. So Lin Tian has a plan to make gunpowder in his mind.
Moreover, as one of the four great inventions of ancient China, gunpowder is also related to the advancement and progress of mankind. Lin Tian couldn’t help but think that if he could invent it, it would be very likely to change the current situation between countries and even become a famous person through the ages.
Thinking of this, Lin Tian was excited again, and his plan to make gunpowder became more determined.
Since he had a plan in mind, Lin Tian took action and asked the servant to find saltpeter, sulfur, and charcoal. However, when Lin Tian told the servant this, the servant showed a confused expression.
