I am a corrupt official, but they say I am a loyal minister

……

The king of Jibei was overjoyed: "It really flew up, it is worthy of being a big flying balloon!"

Just as I was talking, the big balloon was already three or four meters above the ground.

Seeing everyone is even more joyful.

"It's already three or four meters, higher than the wall of the building!"

"Fly higher!"

"Fly to the sky!"

……

In the anticipation of everyone, the big balloon continued to slowly rise into the sky.

Before I knew it, it was already more than 30 meters above the ground.

Coupled with the original height of the balloon, the highest height has reached 50 meters, and almost everyone in the city has seen it.

I saw everyone dancing and dancing, very happy.

The prince shouted from below: "Lin Shaoxia, how is the situation?"

Lin Zhenyun standing on the hanging basket was very excited: "Okay, everything is fine, please rest assured, my lord!"

"Okay!" The prince laughed.

"Congratulations, my lord! Congratulations to my lord!" Mr. Zhuge clasped his hands and said loudly, "This flying experiment can be said to be basically a success! With this flying artifact, why not worry about the great cause?"

"Congratulations, my lord! Congratulations to my lord!" Everyone said in unison.

"Hahahaha..." The prince laughed wantonly, and it was the first time that he found himself so close to his dream.

But at this moment, only a pop was heard.

The big balloon no longer lifted into the sky, but slowly descended.

The prince was a little confused: "What's going on?"

Everyone looked at the old craftsman who presided over the development of the balloon.

The old craftsman wiped the sweat off his face, and said with a little fear: "My lord, the air bag of this big balloon seems to be broken?"

The prince asked: "What will happen if it breaks?"

"According to the manufacturing method, the balloon is lifted into the sky by the heat in the body! If it breaks, it will leak, and the heat in the balloon will leak out! Without the heat, the balloon will not be able to fly!"

Just as he was talking, the big balloon flying into the sky slowly fell down under everyone's shocked eyes.

Taking another look, I found that there was a hole in the sky above the big balloon, and the hot air was overflowing from it.

"My lord, please forgive me!" The craftsmen immediately knelt down tremblingly.

The prince's face was a little ugly.

The first flying experiment turned out like this!

And it's under the watchful eyes of everyone, isn't this ridiculous and generous?

Mr. Zhuge, the military adviser, immediately said: "My lord, this first flying experiment can be said to have been successful! The reason for the air leakage may be the first time the craftsmen made it, and they are inexperienced! Give them more opportunities. I will definitely create a big flying balloon that satisfies you, my lord, and gallop thousands of miles across rivers and mountains!"

The lord's expression softened slightly, after all, he had to rely on these craftsmen to help him make the big balloons.

If they are punished, their enthusiasm will be shaken.

Thinking of this, the prince showed a pleasant smile: "The military adviser is right. It can be said that this flying artifact, the big balloon, has been successfully developed, but there is a small problem in the middle! Master craftsmen, don't worry, this king will not It’s your fault! Please get up, it’s too cold on the ground!”

"Thank you, my lord!" The craftsmen were flattered, relieved and at the same time grateful.

The other martial arts heroes seemed to see this scene and nodded one after another.

This is His Highness who is broad-minded and unparalleled in their hearts!

This is the master they swear to follow!

"` "Next, I will continue to trouble the master craftsmen!"

The prince said with a pleasant smile: "Please be sure to get a large number of flying artifact balloons as soon as possible! After the matter is completed, the king will reward you a lot, and it is not a problem to be promoted!"

"Yes, my lord!" The craftsmen were ecstatic.

At this time, the land of Jiangnan.

There was also a large balloon that slowly lifted into the sky, but fell down within 50 meters.

Below stood a group of stunned people.

One of them, standing in the middle, looked a little dignified and a little fat.

This person is the King of Jiangnan. Looking at the big balloon falling in front of him, his eyes were lost: "This flying artifact...is it a success or a failure? Who can tell this king?"

Wang Fugui, who had done business with Lin Beifan, bit the bullet and said, "My lord, of course it is a success!"

Jiangnan Wang turned his head and asked, "Why do you say that?"

"My lord, you've already flown ten feet into the sky, isn't that considered a success? In the past, was there any fetish that could lead people to fly more than ten feet into the sky? There wasn't any at all!" Wang Fugui cupped his hands and said.

"Okay, okay, what you said is very reasonable!" Jiangnan Wang was very happy.

"According to the manufacturing method, there are strict requirements for the manufacture of airbags for large balloons, and there must be no mistakes at all! It may be the first time our craftsmen have developed large balloons, and they are inexperienced, so some problems occurred! So much to do Several times, there should be no problem!" Wang Fugui continued to report.

"What you said is very reasonable, then let's continue to make big balloons! Let's make 50 of them first...no, 100!" Jiangnan Wang said loudly.

Wang Fugui was taken aback: "My lord, will it be too much? It will take a lot of money!"

King Jiangnan shook his head: "Not much at all! Now, the imperial court has developed 20, and this king has none. How can we compete with the imperial court? After a while, there may be forty or fifty of them! Therefore, we must hurry up , create a hundred big balloons as soon as possible, so as to overwhelm the imperial court!"

"Let's talk about money..." King Jiangnan said proudly, "Is this king short of money? This king is poor and only has money left! Immediately call a large number of skilled craftsmen for this king to make 100 big balloons!"

"Yes, my lord!"

At this time, other princes and countries all held the first flight experiment of large balloons.

But in the end, without exception, all fell within 50 meters.

But they all thought that they had succeeded, and there was just a little mistake in it.

After all, it is the first production, understandable.

So they started working hard to produce big balloons, not wanting to be left behind.

This situation quickly gathered in the palace.

The empress smiled triumphantly: "Sure enough, as Lin Aiqing said, the balloon they developed has a serious problem. It fell off after flying less than 20 feet away! What's the threat of a balloon that is less than 20 feet above the ground?"

The big balloon, which is less than 20 feet above the ground, is like a big eye-catching lantern, and it was shot off with an arrow.

Flying less than seventy or eighty feet high, it can't pose a threat at all.

Chapter 114 The opening is 1000 million taels, what a big appetite!

Thinking that they still don't know it, and produce such problematic balloons regardless of the cost!

In the end, a lot of manpower and material resources were lost, but nothing was gained!

The Empress just wanted to laugh out loud!

"Lin Beifan's move is really too damaging, too clever!"

"Effortlessly, without using the power of soldiers and horses, we will weaken the strength of the princes and let my strength rapidly expand!"

"The balance of victory has gradually shifted to my side!"

"Uncles, you must not have thought of it?"

The empress was extremely proud.

Now, she occupies the orthodox name and has a lot of money to develop her own dark power.

The longer the delay, the better for her.

I admire and appreciate Lin Beifan more and more in my heart.

This guy is always out of tune, and often does a lot of things that make her head hurt, but he is the most powerful at critical moments.

Thinking about it, I actually missed that guy a little bit.

"By the way, how is Lin Aiqing doing now? It's been so quiet for the past two days, she doesn't look like him! By the way, didn't I reward him with a piece of fertile land? Did he take it?"

The old eunuch lowered his head and reported: "Your Majesty, Mr. Lin has been running around the Imperial College, the workshop of the Ministry of Industry, and the barracks of the Imperial Army for the past two days. His official duties are quite busy! Regarding the piece of fertile land, Mr. Lin has not yet accepted it!"

"Haven't collected it yet, that's not acceptable!" The empress urged: "Go and urge him to take over that piece of land as soon as possible! Only when he has the field will he settle down!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" The old eunuch bowed his head.

Soon after, the old eunuch came to the door in person.

"Eunuch Wang, as the saying goes, if you don't go to the Three Treasures Palace, what wind brought you here?" Lin Beifan greeted him with a smile.

"Lord Lin, of course His Majesty ordered our family to come here!" The old eunuch laughed.

"Does Your Majesty have any orders?" Lin Beifan was puzzled, he felt that nothing happened recently.

"Lord Lin, have you forgotten? Your Majesty once rewarded you with a hundred acres of fertile land, but you haven't accepted it until now! Your Majesty couldn't see it anymore, so he ordered our family to come over to remind you!" The old eunuch laughed.

Lin Beifan slapped his head: "Oh, I've been busy with business recently, so I forgot, sorry!"

In fact, he never took it seriously.

After all, he is a person who wants to run away at any time, and the land can't be taken away, so what is he using it for?

So I forgot it before I knew it.

"Lord Lin, you are being favored right now, and you are doing things for His Majesty. You are indeed busy with official duties, and our family understands! However, the land must not be abandoned! Can you take time to come with our family? Otherwise, Your Majesty will blame you, and our family will not It's good!" The old eunuch smiled wryly.

"Where is this land? Is it far away?" Lin Beifan asked.

"It's not far away, just outside the city! This is a piece of land that His Majesty specially picked for you!" the old eunuch said enviously.

"Okay! If that's the case, let's go and have a look!" Lin Beifan nodded.

"Okay, please come with us!"

Lin Beifan pulled Li Shishi and others to go together, so as to know the way.

After about an hour, everyone came outside the city.

The old eunuch pointed to a fertile and neat field and said: "Lord Lin, this is the fertile land that His Majesty rewarded you, with a total of 100 mu! And it is not far from the capital, so it is easy to manage. What do you think?"

From this point of view, it is a fertile field, because the rice fields are growing so gratifyingly.

He has been in this world for more than three years, and he has never seen such a good farmland.

Lin Beifan nodded and smiled and said, "Very good, I like it very much, please thank Your Majesty, Eunuch, for me!"

"Master Lin, as long as you like it!" The old eunuch also smiled, took out a box with a few pieces of paper in it, and said: "This is the deed of this field, Master Lin, please keep it!"

"Thank you, father-in-law!" Lin Beifan took it with both hands.

"It's okay, we'll go back to our house to deal with business!"

"Father-in-law, walk slowly!"

At this moment, looking at the land deed in his hand and the fertile land in front of him, Lin Beifan was still a little confused.

As simple as that, he has become an evil landlord in the old society who exploited the masses of peasants?

I sighed silently in my heart.

After so many years of messing around, I finally became the person I hate the most!

But this feeling...

I like!

"Husband, we also have our own field!" Li Shishi was very happy.

For people living in this era, having their own piece of land means that they have the ability to settle down, that they have hope, and that they will not starve to death.

This is money, a sense of security that cannot be brought!

Just like now, when many people have money, they have to buy a house to feel at ease.
