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

This is the tradition handed down in the bones.

"Teacher, you are too happy!" Lin Beifan sighed, and said with a wry smile: "Based on what we have committed, we will flee here sooner or later, and this piece of land cannot be taken away. What is the use of it?"

"Husband, what you said is true!" Li Shishi felt depressed.

Lin Beifan looked a little distressed, and quickly comforted him: "Don't worry! Everything will be fine! There is no difficulty that can overwhelm me! The sky and the earth are big, there must be a place for us!"

Master Li smiled: "Where there is a husband, there is a home!"

After finishing speaking, Li Shishi leaned gently on Lin Beifan's body, and the two enjoyed the moment of silence.

Lin Beifan's thoughts diverged.

Although this land can't be taken away and can't bring him any big benefits, it can be used as a test field for hybrid rice.

It is much better than the small experimental field of Guozijian.

Thinking of this, Lin Beifan said to Dali: "Dali, please go to the Imperial College! Call the students in charge of hybrid rice and tell me that I have a good field here, which can be used as a test field for hybrid rice!"

"Okay, young master!"

About half an hour later, they all came running.

I am very happy to see this huge fertile land.

"Master Si Ye, this fertile land is really too fertile!"

"It is suitable to be used as a test field!"

"You can do a good job!"

……

Lin Beifan smiled and said: "Everyone, do your best! This is a great achievement that will benefit the present and benefit the future! If it succeeds, I will report it to the imperial court to invite everyone for credit! I will be promoted to the ranks just around the corner!"

The students were ecstatic, this is a precedent!

The students who developed the big balloon before were awarded by the imperial court, and their careers became smoother.

If they develop a hybrid rice with increased yield and solve the food problem of the common people, what kind of reward will they get?

The students said in unison: "Thank you, Sir Si Ye!"

Lin Beifan smiled and nodded.

"Husband, can this hybrid rice really be developed?" Li Shishi couldn't help asking.

"It will definitely work!" Lin Beifan was full of confidence: "If everything goes well, next year today will be the harvest time! The dream of enjoying the cool under the grass is definitely not a dream!"

"If you really succeed, my husband, you will be comparable to the ancient sages, and you will live forever!" Li Shishi said excitedly.

Lin Beifan shook his head and smiled, "I didn't think too much about it! I just wanted to do something within my ability! As for what others think of me, what does it matter to me?"

"Amitabha! Master (Master) is worthy of being a real Buddha in the world!" The two monks put their hands together and worshiped.

"However, there are still too few people! Help me add the sharecroppers here!"

After a while, dozens of farmers gathered, and they looked at Lin Beifan nervously.

It has long been heard that Lin Beifan is a big greedy person. Could it be that he is dissatisfied with the previous rent distribution method and wants to ask for more money?

One of the old farmers boldly asked: "Master Lin, what is the matter that you asked us to come?"

"I plan to take back this land and use it to grow hybrid rice!"

The farmers panicked when they heard this, and fell to their knees one after another.

"My lord, you can't take the land back!"

"You take the land back, what shall we eat and drink? My whole family depends on this land!"

"Please show kindness and give us a way to survive!"

"I really ask you, sir!"

……

Lin Beifan frowned: "Listen to me! Although I want to take back this land, I didn't drive you away. I want to use it to grow hybrid rice!"

"As for what is hybrid rice, you don't have to worry about it. You just need to follow this group of students. Do whatever he asks you to do. Just pay attention to maintaining this farmland! As long as you are obedient and do well, I will give you one or two taels of silver a month!"

"One tael of silver a month!" The farmers were shocked.

You must know that these low-level farmers, after working hard for a year, can only earn four or five taels at most, and this is still the case when the harvest is good.

If one tael a month now, then 12 taels a year!

Nearly doubled!

"Master Lin, is what you said true?" The same old farmer asked excitedly and expectantly.

Lin Beifan stood with his hands behind his back: "Of course! What did I lie to you for? A mere tael, are you afraid that I won't be able to pay?"

Everyone thought of each other's wealth, and they all felt at ease.

The other party is a person of status and status, and has money, so there is really no need to deceive them.

"Okay! My lord, I will follow you!"

"My lord, the little ones will do it to you too!"

"As long as we don't starve to death, we can do whatever we want!"

……

"A wise choice, I like obedient people!" Lin Beifan snapped his fingers, and said to Dali next to him, "Give each of them a tael of silver to improve their lives! If they do well in the future, continue to reward them!"

The farmers were ecstatic: "Thank you, Mr. Lin!"

Thanks to Lin Beifan's kindness and power, the farmers expressed their gratitude and enthusiastically devoted themselves to the construction of the experimental field to help Lin Beifan cultivate hybrid rice.

Inside the farmland, a busy scene.

"Today next year will be the harvest time!"

"With hybrid rice, Dawu's strength will undergo earth-shaking changes!"

Lin Beifan felt that he must not be at a disadvantage for making such a great contribution to the Empress and the Great Wu Dynasty.

So, at the morning of the next day, Lin Beifan wrote a letter.

"Report to Your Majesty, the hybrid rice of Weichen has entered the critical stage, but there is a great lack of money at present! Please allocate 1000 million research funds, Weichen is very grateful!"

As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar in the hall!

The corner of the Empress's mouth twitched, as soon as she opened her mouth, it was 1000 million taels, what a big appetite!

Is it a bit too greedy recently, inflated, floating? .

Chapter 115 Lin Beifan: Don't Bully Honest People!

"I object to this!"

Qian Yuanshen, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, stood up and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the funds required by Lin Siye are too large. Once allocated, it will inevitably affect the balance of the treasury's revenue and expenditure, and the impact will be far-reaching, and even shake the foundation of the country. agree!"

Lin Beifan was very calm: "Master Qian, the funds required are indeed large enough! However, if we develop hybrid rice with increased yields, it can solve the problem of feeding tens of millions of people! It will make people live and work in peace and contentment, and the Dawu regime will be more stable. The merits of the present age will benefit the future! In comparison, the research funding of 1000 million taels is not much!"

Qian Yuanshen's skin is drawn out.

1000 million is not much, you have the nerve to say it?

Did you go through the Ministry of Industry from beginning to end before, which made your appetite bigger?

"If it takes 1000 million taels to develop hybrid rice with increased yields and solve the food problems of tens of millions of people, it is really worth it! But what if it fails? If it fails, the 1000 million taels will be in vain. Yes! Master Lin, can you bear this responsibility?" Qian Yuanshen shouted.

Lin Beifan was very calm: "Master Qian, what you said is serious! Before you said that you can't research a big flying balloon, don't you see that you have also researched it? So hybrid rice is not hopeless!"

"Before was before, now is now~ now!"

Qian Yuanshen said excitedly: "Lin Siye, you can develop the big balloon, a flying artifact, realize the dream of flying into the sky, and strengthen the national power. This official and the people all over the country thank you for your contribution!"

"However, flying artifacts and hybrid rice are not the same thing at all! Throughout the ages, I don't know how many sages have studied the food problem, but how many have succeeded? No, not one! Can you guarantee that you will be successful?"

"I can, of course!" Lin Beifan said confidently, "I dare to issue a military order. If within two years, no hybrid rice with increased production can be developed, all the money spent will be returned to the treasury, and interest can be calculated!"

"Lin Siye, even if you have the heart and strength, our treasury doesn't have that much money! All the silver and silver in the treasury have already been arranged, and there is no way to squeeze out 1000 million taels! So my humble minister..."

Qian Yuanshen bowed his hands to the empress: "I oppose Lin Siye's proposal!"

Gao Tianyao, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, stood up: "I also object!"

Wang Rushui, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, also stood up: "I also object!"

……

All the other officials also stood up, but none of them agreed.

The empress didn't quite agree either, 1000 million is really too much!

1000 million is already 1/10 of the treasury's money, and it can be used to build a huge project, or even start a million-scale war, and it really cannot be easily used.

If you apply for 200 million, she can barely agree.

But 1000 million is unacceptable!

"Lin Aiqing, you want too much, can you have less?"

"Okay then! I also understand the difficulties of His Majesty and the officials, so I want 500 million first! The remaining 500 million can be paid next year!" Lin Beifan said anxiously.

Everyone was so angry that their mouths crooked and their eyes squinted!

How different is this from directly asking for 1000 million?

Do you still understand our difficulties?

If you were really considerate, you wouldn't make such a request!

Bitch!

The empress said angrily: "What I mean is, you can just ask for 200 million, but 1000 million is really not enough!"

"But less than 1000 million, I really can't study it!" Lin Beifan felt aggrieved.

I am ready to get out the hybrid rice of Anguo Limin!

With this super rice, the food problem of tens of millions of people can be solved immediately. This is something that no amount of money can buy, and it is a great thing that benefits the country and the people!

You just give one or two million, is it appropriate?

Don't bully honest people!

Looking at Lin Beifan's aggrieved expression, the empress was speechless, and all the officials were speechless!

It seems that I have suffered a lot!

Is it a loss to earn less?

The empress was very tired: "The national treasury really doesn't have that much money! Hybrid rice can be put aside for a while, take your time! You should study other things first, such as that giant steel ship that can float on water!"

Lin Beifan nodded: "That's fine, but I'm applying for 500 million yuan!"

Empress: "Damn!"

Baiguan: "Damn!"

Everyone glared at Lin Beifan angrily!

500 million, you really dare to ask for it!

"Lin Siye, you only spent 200 million yuan to research the big balloon, the flying artifact before! Why did you spend 500 million yuan when it was the turn of the giant steel ship?" Wang Rushui, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, twitched.

Even when I was most greedy, I didn't dare to speak like you!

"Master Wang, I don't know anything!" Lin Beifan laughed and said, "The big balloons of the flying artifact are actually very easy to make! Like before, it only took less than a month for us to produce 20 big balloons. The difficulty mainly lies in Research and development!"

"However, the giant steel ship is different!"

"First of all, if you want to build a giant steel ship, you need a lot of steel! Everyone knows that steel is a very valuable item! If you want to build a ship, you first need to buy a lot of steel, which requires a lot of money! Then use steel It takes a lot of manpower to build a giant ship, and it also requires a lot of money!"

"So, building a steel giant ship costs more than a flying artifact, a big balloon, and it costs less than 500 million yuan!"

Everyone couldn't help but nodded, it seemed reasonable.

But I still feel that the other party has bad intentions.
