Chapter 206: Training Disciples (Part 1)
Lin Yueru sent the perfume formula back to Linjiabao, and in the letter proposed the idea of selling it and sharing the profits.
After seeing it, Lin Tiannan asked Lin Zhong to mix the same perfume according to the recipe. However, after studying it for a long time, he could not figure out what the magical effect of this perfume was, so he planned to call Lin Yueru and others to find out the secret.
Lin Tiannan sent a letter to Xianling Island. Lin Yueru opened it, read it through, and complained, "Daddy, why are you still hesitating at this time?"
Zhao Linger asked, "What's wrong, Sister Yueru?"
Lin Yueru said, "Dad didn't see the use of this perfume, so he didn't sell it. He wanted us to go back and find out the reason."
Zhao Linger comforted her, "Sister Yueru, you have to understand Uncle Lin.
After all, this perfume is from the time and space of Brother Anos, and Uncle Lin has never seen it, so it is normal for him to be skeptical.
Lin Yueru breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at the letter in her hand, turned to look at Lin Shen and said, "Then let's go to Lin's Castle. Otherwise, without my father's approval, we won't be able to sell this perfume."
Lin Shen nodded and said, "Let's go."
Lin Shen, Zhao Linger, Lin Yueru and others used the leaping technique to head towards Lin Family Fort.
At this time, Lin Tiannan was staring at the perfume he had prepared, and saw a magic circle appear on the arena in the front yard.
Lin Shen, Lin Yueru and others walked out of the magic circle.
The servant who was cleaning the yard saw that it was Lin Yueru and ran to the hall, shouting "Miss is back~!"
Lin Shen and his companions walked into the hall and saw Lin Tiannan sitting there, so they all bowed to Lin Tiannan.
Lin Tiannan waved his hand and casually replied, "Forget it."
Lin Yueru asked straight to the point, "Dad, have you read the recipe I sent you?"
Lin Tiannan fiddled with the jar in his hand and said, "I saw it, wasn't it because of this that I called you back this time?
My friend, I made this perfume according to the formula you gave me, but after studying it for a long time, I still can't figure it out."
Lin Shen said, "Lord of the Castle, this thing is for women. Spray it on your body to increase your feminine charm, or to repel mosquitoes and get rid of odors."
Lin Tiannan thought for a moment and said, "Is it necessary to increase feminine charm?"
Lin Shen said, “That mosquito repellent is originally for the general public.
The ones with rose and lavender scents are for the wives of high-ranking officials and dignitaries."
After listening to this, Lin Tiannan tapped the table with his fingers.
Because he was the leader of the martial arts world and had some dealings with wealthy businessmen and officials, he understood a little after hearing what Lin Shenyi said.
After thinking for about a quarter of an hour, Lin Tiannan stopped and said, "Okay, I'll take it.
My friend, how much do you plan to divide?"
Lin Shen said, "Just make the arrangements as you see fit."
Lin Tiannan smacked his lips and said, "This idea was yours, so I can't let you suffer any loss.
How about this, if there's a profit, you and I split it 40:60. I'll split it 60, you'll split it 40:60.
Lin Shen was stunned when he heard this. Lin Tiannan thought that the amount was too little, so he immediately changed his words and said, "If you think it's too little, 50-50 is fine."
Lin Shen quickly replied, "No, 40% is enough. I thought you would only give me 20% or 30%."
Lin Yueru patted Lin Shen and said, "Who do you think my father is?"
So Linjiabao made a batch of perfume according to the recipe left by Lin Shen and sold it a few days later.
Sure enough, the perfume produced caused quite a stir in Suzhou City and was sold out that afternoon.
Lin Tiannan also gave 80 taels of silver to Lin Shen as agreed.
Jiang Wan'er looked at today's share and said, "This...this is too profitable. I made 80 taels of silver in just one day."
Lin Shen, on the other hand, remained calm and said, "I advise you not to brag too soon. After all, this is a new thing, and we are the only one who owns it.
Plus, we want something new, so we can sell so much in a day.
But after a while, other businesses will also develop the formula, and the hype will fade, so the profits won’t be as much as they are today.”
Everyone rolled their eyes at Lin Shen and said in unison, "You really know how to pour cold water on others."
Three days later, Lin Shen and others came to find Lin Tiannan and found that Lin Tiannan had a sad face.
Lin Shen asked, "Lord Lin, what happened?"
Lin Tiannan saw that it was Lin Shen and said, "My friend, you are here."
After saying that, Lin Tiannan winked at Lin Zhong and raised his hand towards Lin Shenyi.
Lin Zhong handed a notebook to Lin Shen. Lin Shen opened it and flipped through it. There were a bunch of names on it.
But many names were circled, and some had a red cross drawn on them. I didn’t know what they meant.
Lin Shen was flipping through the notebook when Lin Tiannan said, "My friend, the perfume business you provided is really good.
It has increased the income for our Lin Family Castle, but now a new problem has arisen.
That booklet is actually the roster of disciples in our Lin Family Fort."
Lin Shen couldn't help but complain, "The Lin Family Fort is truly a wealthy family.
This small notebook contains all the disciples in the mansion. It looks like there are about two or three hundred of them.
But what do the circles and crosses on it mean?"
Lin Tiannan smiled bitterly and said, "Yes, my disciples usually go out to fight bandits and escort convoys.
Those circled above are injured and haven't recovered. Those crossed out...are already dead."
After listening to it, Lin Shen looked at it carefully again. There was neither a circle nor a cross, which was less than 40% of the whole article.
Lin Shen complained, "Uncle Lin, don't blame me for complaining about you.
The jobs your people take on are pretty dangerous. I've taken a look, and less than 40% of them are safe and sound."
Lin Yueru nudged Lin Shen with her elbow and said in a reproachful tone, "Anos, how dare you talk to my father like that?
My father is the leader of the martial arts world, and it is his duty to eliminate demons and defend the way."
Lin Shen repeatedly said, "Sorry, sorry."
Lin Tiannan waved his hand and said, "Never mind, it was just an unintentional mistake.
Actually, I called you here this time because I hope you can give me some advice.
After all, this casualty rate, let alone you, I think it's high."
Lin Shen thought for a moment and said, "Fort Lord, I'd better go and take a look at the training grounds of your disciples. Maybe I can find out what the problem is."
Anu asked impatiently, "Is this necessary?"
Lin Shen exhaled and said, "Practice is the only criterion for testing truth, so if we want to know where the problem lies, we can only conduct an on-site investigation.
Besides, Anu, don’t you want to go over and take a look?”
Anu thought about it and said, "Okay, it's okay to go over and take a look."
Lin Tiannan looked at Lin Zhong and said, "Zhong, go get ready. We'll leave for the training ground now."
Lin Zhong replied respectfully, "Yes!"
Lin Shen asked, "Wait a minute, we're going to a training ground, why do we need to prepare?"
Lin Zhong replied, "My lord, you don't know that the training ground of Lin Family Fort is not in the city, but in a courtyard ten miles south of the city.
Because there are many students, they are arranged to live outside. "
Lin Shen said "Oh" and then said, "Okay, thank you, Uncle Zhong."
Lin Zhong prepared a carriage for Lin Tiannan, Lin Shen and his group, and they set off for the training ground outside the city.
