Chapter 95.2

Consequently, the news was announced: Their Majesty had decided to sell the woven fabrics at a fair price.

What? His Majesty is selling the woven fabrics?

And at a cheap price, no less?

His Majesty has called upon the female workers to weave, and now hes selling the fabric at a cheap price. Hes not making any profit, so whats the point of all this fuss?

Who cares what hes doing, its good for us!

Yeah, my family is in dire need of clothes. Lets grab a few bolts of fabric first!

The first to react were the female workers from the textile mill.

Because Lin Beifan paid relatively high wages, the women worked very earnestly and diligently to earn their pay, ensuring the quality of the fabric was guaranteed to be even higher than that circulating in the market.New novel chapters are published on

Now, to be able to sell it at such a cheap price, it felt like they had stumbled upon a great bargain.

Therefore, even before their shift ended, they had already flocked to the warehouse.

Bring me two bolts of cloth first!

Ill take three bolts!

I want ten bolts!

Do you need that many? Can you use them all?

Who knows if such good deals will come again in the future? So its better to stock up!

That makes a lot of sense!

As a result, everyone became even more frenzied.

The fabrics had not even gone on sale yet, but they had already been snapped up internally.

Many others were eagerly waiting, hungry for the new fabric to appear.

However, outsiders began to mock Lin Beifan.

This foolish emperor has started to lose his mind again!

He organized millions of female workers to produce fabrics, paying them high wages, only to sell the products at a low price! All this effort, and he hasnt made any profit!

Its more than just not making a profit; its a downright loss! High wages mean high costs, but the prices havent increased accordingly! With every piece of fabric sold, he loses money. Only a fool would do such a thing!

Indeed foolish! Otherwise, why would he be called the foolish emperor?

Whats the point of all this fuss for nothing?

Lin Beifan was very disdainful of the mockery from the outside world.

Later on, you built cement houses and sold them at discounted prices, solving the housing problem for the people!

In less than half a year, the problems of food and shelter for millions of people were resolved, an achievement unparalleled in history! Your Majesty, you can now be compared to the sage kings of ancient times!

A compliment was quietly delivered.

Lin Beifan beamed with great pleasure, Well said, continue!

The issue of food has been resolved, and the issue of shelter has been resolved as well. Now, the only thing left is the issue of clothing!

But clothing cant just be produced whenever we want; there are various limiting conditions. Individual power is ultimately limited, which is why we need to utilize the power of the imperial court to organize a society-wide mass production!

If you lack tools, Ill provide you with tools; if you lack money, Ill provide you with money. In this way, resources are integrated, everyone can work with peace of mind, and strive in production!

Although the court might suffer a loss, the common people will all have clothes to wear!

Cao Cao said with admiration, Your Majestys actions are truly about sacrificing the public for the private benefit, sacrificing your own purse to fatten the wallets of the common people! Even the sage rulers of ancient times couldnt achieve such selflessness! Cao Cao admires you immensely!

Lin Beifan once again beamed with great pleasure, Very well said. You truly are a talented person, and I greatly appreciate you! Currently, there are vacancies in all six ministries, where would you like to serve? I will make the arrangements for you!

Cao Cao was overjoyed, feeling that he had passed the emperors test and that his days of rapid advancement were upon him!

He pondered seriously about which department he should join to best utilize his knowledge.

Among the current six ministries, the position of Minister of the Ministry of Revenue was already taken by Heshen.

Although the position of Minister of the Ministry of Works was still vacant, Heshen also held this position for the time being and had been doing very well, so there was no point in considering that.

The Minister of the Ministry of Rites was also unappointed, but Li Linfu had risen to the position of Vice Minister of the Ministry of Rites and was doing very well, making it highly likely that he would become the Minister. As a newcomer, Cao Cao definitely couldnt compete with him.

The position of Minister of the Ministry of Civil Service was still open, but Yan Song was in the Ministry of Civil Service.

He was his own recommender and had done him a favor, so he absolutely could not compete with him.

So now, only the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of War were left.

In the end, he made his choice

Reporting to Your Majesty, this humble servant wishes to go to the Ministry of War!

Lin Beifan nodded: Very well! I hereby appoint you as the Supervisor of the Ministry of War, with the rank of fifth-grade official! If you perform well, the position of Minister of War shall be yours!

Cao Cao was overjoyed: Thank you for Your Majestys grace! This servant will certainly serve with utmost dedication, to the point of exhaustion unto death!

Do well, I have great confidence in you!

Lin Beifan looked towards another young man, smiling amiably, he said, Qin Hui, now its your turn! I ask you, if I were to command you to frame a loyal and good person, what would you plan to do?
