The things sold in Liulizhai are very expensive, with the starting price being in the tens of thousands. They have enough funds to raise the market price of silk and arouse people's desire.

What Prince of the Western Regions? Prime Minister Lin doesn't believe a word of it now.

Although he didn't find out who was behind the other party, as long as he thought about it, if their Rongguo fell, who would be the winner? The matter became clear at a glance.

At the invitation of Young Master Lin, Manager Jin met with Prime Minister Lin in a private inn that evening.

However, this time the other party was very polite to him, unlike before when he was still a little reserved about his status.

"Manager Jin, come, come, please take a seat."

Manager Jin still had a smiling face, but he seemed a little apprehensive. "Oh, oh, why is Prime Minister Lin so polite? This is really embarrassing me."

How could Prime Minister Lin still dare to act like a prime minister? Now the only one who could save him was the other party.

He has been speaking for Liulizhai all along. Now that things have developed to this point, he has an unshirkable responsibility. If the matter is ever exposed, he and his entire clan will be executed by the emperor.

Just now, before Manager Jin arrived, he ordered some simple meals. He could clearly feel that not only the prices of grains, but also the prices of vegetables had increased.

It’s terrifying when you think about it. It’s terrifying when you think about it.

Therefore, Prime Minister Lin lowered his posture even more.

"Manager Jin, you're too polite. We've been working together for such a long time, why are you still being so distant?"

"Oh right? I heard that Liulizhai was first opened in Yan State? I wonder why they chose Yan State first? Many people privately spread that the owner behind Liulizhai is from Yan State."

Manager Jin still wore a polite and smiling face. "Prime Minister Lin, where did you hear that? It's all rumors, all rumors. Choosing Yan State first was just a coincidence, there's no reason for it."

Prime Minister Lin hinted at it and expressed his good impression of Yan State from time to time, hoping that the other party would admit his identity first.

But no matter what he said, the other party just smiled and didn't reveal any useful information.

"Manager Jin, I won't beat around the bush. You've caused me so much trouble. I know exactly who's behind you. If I'm not mistaken, you're from the State of Yan, and the driving force behind this is probably the Empress of Yan, right? I came here today to discuss a business deal with you, but now that things have come to this, I'm stuck in a dilemma."

The smile on Manager Jin's face instantly faded, and his expression became serious. "What business do you want to discuss?"

Prime Minister Lin smiled bitterly and said, "If this were to break out, my Lin family would have no place in Rong State and would surely be chopped into pieces by the Rong Emperor. I can return all the money I collected from you. I can even cooperate with you and force more people in Rong State to plant mulberry trees. All you need is your promise that after this is accomplished, my Lin family will become a wealthy family in Yan State."

After figuring out the key to the matter, Prime Minister Lin didn't dare to ask for anything anymore. He could only blame himself for being greedy and arrogant, and always feeling that everything could be controlled to a certain extent.

Manager Jin was silent for a moment, but his mind was actually already exploding.

He had recently received a secret letter from his master, which said that if Prime Minister Lin took the initiative to ask for asylum, he could make the decision within certain conditions.

Now the other party does not seek wealth and glory, but only a place to settle down. This is not an excessive request for Manager Jin. It seems that the other party is very aware of the current situation and is very clear about the current situation. Today's Rong State is like a powder keg that is about to explode.

Shopkeeper Jin spat out two words coldly, "Not enough."

Prime Minister Lin looked shocked. "I'm willing to help you promote mulberry planting, even at the risk of being infamous for eternity. Isn't that enough? What else do you want?"

"I want 70% of your Lin family's wealth."

Prime Minister Lin was shocked and stood up angrily, "Don't go too far!"

Seventy percent of his family's wealth was worth several million taels, not counting the land.

Manager Jin's face was no longer kind, but like a man-eating tiger, extremely ferocious. "Your original conditions, plus 70% of the Lin family's property, I can agree to you on behalf of my master, and guarantee that your Lin family will become a wealthy family in Yan State. If you don't want to, we can achieve our goal slowly." Anyway, even if we don't rely on Prime Minister Lin now, it will just be slower.

Prime Minister Lin looked confused and uncertain, his face changing constantly like a palette.

Suddenly his shoulders slumped and a flicker of regret crossed his eyes.

His voice was a little dry. "Okay, I agree to your request. I hope you will keep your promise."

Manager Jin regained his smiling and kind appearance.

"Prime Minister Lin, please rest assured. My master always keeps his word."

Prime Minister Lin said nothing more. At this point he could only believe it.

It's not that he has never thought about taking his family property and running away to other countries. After all, in addition to Rong and Yan, there are many small countries, but those countries simply cannot withstand the anger of Rong. Even if Rong is now a camel that is about to die of thirst, it is not something that those small countries can provoke at will.

Do you believe that if he took his entire family to a small country that day, the king of that small country would offer his entire family to Rong State the next day?

An Jingzhi received another secret letter from Manager Jin. He wrote back, praising him for his decisiveness and offering to recommend Manager Jin to serve as an official in the court after he completed his mission and returned to Yan State.

Ever since Yan Su understood the role of economy, he has been thinking about opening another department, the Ministry of Economics.

Manager Jin is a down-and-out businessman who was framed. An Jingzhi saved the other's family, and Manager Jin respects him.

Moreover, the other party has strong business ability. He can do what other businessmen can do, and he also has methods that other businessmen cannot use. If Manager Jin is recommended to work in the economic department, it would be most appropriate to directly manage the businessmen. No one can use tricks to deceive him.

After receiving the secret letter, Manager Jin was very excited. He never thought that after half a lifetime of doing business, he would have the opportunity to become an official in the court.

When he thought of his old father, wife and children at home, he suddenly became full of energy and immediately went to find Prime Minister Lin to discuss the next plan.

Those small landlords who were originally under the jurisdiction of the emperor and did not dare to uproot crops to plant mulberry trees, now received permission from their superiors. As long as they paid some grain tax, they could plant mulberry trees at will. When they heard about these good things, they could not wait to pay money, uproot crops, and plant mulberry trees, which accelerated the demise of Rong State.

With Prime Minister Lin putting pressure on them, the officials below did not dare to report it. When things were almost done, Prime Minister Lin asked his son to take the family's silver and money and transport it to the State of Yan bit by bit.

"What's going on?! Why is there no food in the treasury this year?!"

The Emperor of Rong was furious as he sat on the throne. If it weren't for the sudden famine and rebellion, he would have known the cause only after he sent people to quell the rebellion.

He didn't even know that they wanted to transfer some grain from the national treasury to provide disaster relief.
