The Princess of Northern Land Chapter 426-430

Chapter 426: Chapter 426 Threat (3)_1
At this moment, he was determined to meet Ma Erlang no matter what.

In his bones, Ma Zhicai didn’t respect Ma Erlang at all; he was single-minded in his desire to pass the imperial examination and become an official. He had no intention of associating with someone like Ma Erlang, who acted like a ruffian. If not for the potential of a good recommendation, he would have severed ties with the Ma Erlang’s house long ago.

But harsh reality struck Ma Zhicai hard, he stubbornly believed that with the Lin Family in power, even if he were of exceptional talent, it would be impossible to pass the exam in this lifetime. Having lost the potential path of the scholar, Ma Zhicai was lost and unsure of where to go next, and Ma Erlang’s appearance seemed to offer him a glimmer of hope.

Didn’t the Lin Family receive favour from Prince Ling because they knew how to make money? If he, Ma Zhicai, could make a fortune in business, wouldn’t overthrowing the Lin Family be an easy task in the future. Besides, no matter how powerful the Lin Family was, could they really be more powerful than him, Ma Zhicai?

At this moment, Ma Zhicai fundamentally considered himself a scholar, and believed the most intelligent people in the world were scholars like him.

Even though he hadn’t done business before, Ma Zhicai learned from his father that doing business required capital and connections. As for capital, there wouldn’t be much silver in the Ma family’s hands, as they’d already spent a considerable amount on his education. As for connections, perhaps his father, Ma Da, had accumulated some over the many years. However, as long as they remained in Feng City, Prince Ling’s domain, he, Ma Zhicai, would never stand a chance against the Lin Family.

The people around Ma Erlang were out-of-town businessmen who were generous. This information made Ma Zhicai realize the path he should take.
