The old man was very proud of his father’s achievements.
Lin Shou couldn’t help but frown when he heard his father’s boasting about Ning Fan.
“Father, isn’t this unparalleled in the world a bit exaggerated?”
Unparalleled in the world?
He is a champion marquis who has just been promoted to the governor of Youzhou. It is said that he is less than 20 years old and is from a humble family, which means that he has no foundation at all.
That’s it?
He dares to call himself unparalleled in the world?
“What do you know?”
“This Ning Fan in the North Territory is the one who dares to challenge even the Zhenbei Palace!”
“It is said that he almost killed the general of the North Territory in front of Yang Qingyun!”
Lin Mantian frowned and shouted in a low voice.
Lin Shou shrank his neck, obviously a little afraid of his father: “But father, this is Youzhou, not the North, it’s our Lin family’s territory!”
“Besides, we have no conflict with him, what can he do to us?”
Lin Mantian glanced at his son and sat on the chair.
“I’m not afraid of thieves stealing, I’m afraid of thieves thinking about it.”
“There are too many properties of our Lin family that can’t be put on the table and can’t see the light. If he really sets his eyes on it, it will be really difficult to deal with.”
Lin Mantian’s eyes are solemn, and he paused and continued: “I hope we can live in peace. Even if we throw some silver out, don’t let anything go wrong.”
“Nowadays, it’s already chaotic!”
“Your uncle sent a message, asking us to be extremely careful and not to act low-key as usual.”
“Now, it’s not just Prince Jing who has raised an army. This huge Zhou has uprisings one after another, and the other three kings of different surnames are also ready to move.”
“The world… I’m afraid it’s going to be chaotic!”
Lin Mantian sighed.
A moment later, a middle-aged man with a goatee ran into the hall, his face gloomy: “Master, the new governor of Youzhou has entered the city!”
“How many people did he bring?”
Lin Mantian asked hurriedly.
“Eighteen people, wearing black robes to cover their faces, carrying swords and bows, they don’t look like good people!”
The man frowned and replied.
“Eighteen people?”
“Oh, that’s okay, just eighteen people, even if they don’t look like good people, they won’t cause much trouble. Our governor still looks sensible.”
“Visiting the Lin family, you know to be low-key.”
Lin Shou on the side said nonchalantly.
Lin Mantian frowned: “Shut up, lower your posture in front of Ning Fan later, if you cause trouble, I will break your legs!”
“Butler, everything is ready, I will go to greet you in person.”
After that, Lin Mantian got up and walked out.
At this time, Ning Fan, with the Eighteen Riders of Yanyun, had already entered Tongcheng. However, today he did not ride the Snowy Wild Lion, but just rode a random horse.
The streets were very lively.
The hawking sounds came one after another, the small vendors shouted hard, and the goods on both sides were also dazzling.
After a while, Ning Fan arrived in front of the Lin family.
Lin Mantian was waiting here with Lin Shou and the servants at home. When he saw Ning Fan and his party, Lin Mantian hurriedly walked forward with a smile.
“I am Lin Mantian, and I meet the Grand Commander!”
“Meet the Grand Commander!”
Roar, roar, roar.
Outside the door, two rows of servants also shouted loudly, with high voices.
Ning Fan jumped off his horse and helped Lin Mantian up, who was bowing: “When I was in the northern border before, I heard that the Tongcheng Lin family was famous in Youzhou. I should have come to visit when I took office.”
“As a result, due to some trivial matters, it has been delayed until now. I hope that the head of the Lin family will not blame me?”
As soon as these words came out, Lin Mantian’s face changed drastically, and he hurriedly shook his head: “I dare not, I dare not, I should go to Youzhou City to pay a visit to the Grand Commander.”
Ning Fan smiled, and then, under the leadership of Lin Mantian, walked into the Lin family manor.
Reception room.
Lin Mantian welcomed Ning Fan to the main seat. Even though this was the Lin family, he did not dare to occupy the main seat.
“Then I will take over the main seat today.”
Ning Fan did not refuse and sat down.
In the house, there were only Ning Fan and Lin Mantian and his son.
“I’ve heard that the Lin family is rich all over the world. Now I see that it’s true. The Lin family’s manor is much better than my Grand Commander’s Mansion.”
Ning Fan spoke first.
Lin Mantian quickly replied: “Tongcheng is not as valuable as Youzhou, so the land is much cheaper.”
“It just so happens that my Lin family has two large mansions in Youzhou, which are still empty now. I’ll give them to the Grand Commander for servants to live in or store sundries.”
“In addition, I will pay another 100,000 taels of silver to repair the mansion for the Grand Commander.”
Tsk tsk, what a generous gesture!
He opened his mouth and said
Two mansions and 100,000 taels of silver, worthy of the reputation of the Lin family in Youzhou, indeed, they are extraordinary.
“Thank you very much.”
Ning Fan was not polite and put it in his pocket directly.
“Master Lin, I came here this time, in addition to visiting, I do have some things that I want to trouble Master Lin.”
Ning Fan spoke slowly.
“Right now, Youzhou is in internal and external troubles.”
“There are Shanyue bandits making trouble inside, and Daliang is eyeing them outside. Youzhou’s 30,000 soldiers can’t protect such a large Youzhou.”
“I wanted to recruit soldiers, but I was willing but unable.”
Lin Mantian was so smart that he understood it instantly after Ning Fan said this.
Ning Fan came here to ask for money this time!
Thinking of this, Lin Mantian breathed a sigh of relief, just asking for money would be fine.
“The Grand Commander has encountered a problem?”
“Yes, conscription is not a big deal, but after conscription, they need to be trained.”
“But I still can’t find the war horses, weapons and armor needed for training. So I came here to ask the head of the Lin family for some advice.”
Lin Mantian laughed heartily: “It’s easy. Your Excellency has worked hard for the country and the people, so my Lin family can’t just sit back and watch.”
“In this way, I will pay 500,000 taels of silver and am willing to serve you!”
500,000 taels!
This is not a small number. An ordinary chamber of commerce can’t earn this amount in a year, but now Lin Mantian gave it away easily.
“Thank you, Master Lin!”
“But I have the money, but I need Master Lin’s help in buying the goods.”
“However, I don’t want the money. I will ask Master Lin to help me buy the armor for horses and men with the 500,000 taels. How about 50,000 sets?”
Ning Fan smiled and spoke slowly.
Boom!
As soon as these words came out, the faces of the two Lin family fathers and sons suddenly changed.
50,000 sets of armor for horses and men?
Just for the war horses, 500,000 is not enough, not to mention 50,000 sets of armor.
Ning Fan’s mouth is too big!
“Grand Commander… this…”
Lin Mantian was embarrassed.
His Lin family is rich, but it is not blown by the wind.
If he really agreed to this matter, let alone 500,000, even if it was 1 million taels of silver, he could not buy these things.
“Grand Commander, you’re going too far!”
“You should be tactful when asking for money. You’re asking for 50,000 sets. What do you mean? My Lin family owes you that?”
“Or do you want to use your power to force my Lin family to pay so much?”
Before Lin Mantian could finish, Lin Shou stood up and shouted angrily with a gloomy look.
