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

In one week, a hovercraft carrying more than 200 people can be built!

This result moved them!

"Your Majesty, and my lords, you can build a hovercraft that can carry more than 200 people in less than a hundred taels and less than a week. Do you know what this means?"

"What does it mean?" Everyone had already thought about it, and their hearts jumped up.

"It means..." Lin Beifan's eyes were frantic: "We can quickly manufacture a batch of hovercraft in a short period of time, sailing in various waterways, and even coastal areas! Rapidly increase the strength of our navy and dominate the major water systems!"

Everyone was short of breath.

"In wartime, it can also strengthen logistical support!"

"Fighting is about logistics. As the saying goes, food and grass go first before the armed forces move! How to transport large amounts of food to the front line in the shortest time is a problem we have to consider all the time!"

"And our logistics transportation mainly depends on water transportation! In the past, due to the limitation of ships, the transportation volume could not increase! But now with the hovercraft, it is different, and more grain and grass can be transported at the same time!"

"So, won't the logistics be stable?"

Everyone's breathing became more rapid.

"In addition, it can also promote economic development and increase the court's income!"

"You know, we have a water system extending in all directions in Dawu! Our transportation mainly relies on water transportation! However, due to the impact of shipbuilding capacity, the transportation volume is not large!"

"Nowadays, once the hovercraft comes out, it can transport more goods and promote economic and trade development! With the economic development, everyone's life will be better, won't the court's income increase?"

Lin Beifan pointed to the hovercraft, and said in a sonorous voice: "Everyone, this hovercraft has so many advantages! It's not a weapon on the water, what is it?".

Chapter 129 I was promoted again, where should I become an official?

Everyone was very shocked!

However, if, as Lin Beifan said, if this hovercraft that can transport more than 200 people costs less than 100 taels and can be manufactured in a week, then it can definitely be made in a short time...

Rapidly enhance the ability of the Dawu water army!

Strengthen wartime logistics support!

Promote economic development and increase court income!

This is definitely a real underwater weapon!

"Okay, okay!" Empress Longxin was delighted, and shouted: "With this hovercraft, I can definitely increase the strength of my Dawu quickly. What is it if it is not a water weapon? Lin Aiqing, you have made great achievements again!"

Lin Beifan was terrified: "I dare not take credit for this, it was all created under His Majesty's wise guidance!"

The empress laughed and scolded: "Stop flattering, what's yours is yours!"

An old official stood up and questioned: "But, is this ship too simple? Can it work wonders? For example, without sails, how can he move? Without guardrails, what should we do if the goods on the ship are dumped into the water? This boat is made of small wood, it is not strong enough, what should I do if it is damaged?"

"Master Liu, your question is good!"

Lin Beifan explained with a smile: "Because the time is limited, this is just a rough version made by the officials, mainly for the convenience of everyone to see! You think there is no sail to move, can't we put a sail on him? Even Without sails, we can hang it on the old ship, thus increasing the transportation capacity of the old ship!"

"You said he doesn't have a guardrail, so we'll build the guardrail without much effort!"

"As for the solidity of the hull, it's also very easy to solve! We can use the keel of some original shipbuilding to build it, or directly use steel to build the hull, ensuring it is as stable as Mount Tai!"

"In addition, this hovercraft does have some shortcomings! For example, the airbags are easily damaged, but we can prepare enough airbags to replace them at any time, so the problem is not big!"

……

Lin Beifan pointed out several shortcomings and solutions.

Finally, the conclusion: "Compared with other boats, this hovercraft has various disadvantages! But compared with its advantages, these disadvantages are simply insignificant!"

The empress laughed loudly: "That's right! Although this hovercraft has some shortcomings, they can all be made up for! Compared with its advantages, it is nothing at all! With this powerful weapon on the water, I will have no worries!"

"What Your Majesty said is absolutely true!" Lin Beifan smiled.

Seeing Lin Beifan's triumphant expression, Qian Yuanshen, Minister of the Household Department, was very upset.

"Lin Siye, I have a question to ask you!"

"Master Qian, please ask!"

Qian Yuanshen said loudly: "Lin Siye, look at how simple and rough this boat is. According to what you said, it took less than 100 taels to make this boat, which only took a week! Then I will ask You, you took 200 million taels from the treasury before, isn’t it a bit too much? Can you return the extra money?”

Everyone showed a look of watching the show.

Lin Beifan was very calm: "Master Qian, you can't just look at the surface of the problem! Although it took less than 100 taels to make this hovercraft! But do you know how much money was spent in the research process?"

"No matter how much you spend, it's impossible to spend 200 million taels, right?"

"That's good!" Lin Beifan asked loudly: "I will give you 200 million, can you research it?"

"This..." Qian Yuan, Minister of the Household Department, was at a loss for words.

"Knowledge is priceless!" Lin Beifan's voice was loud and clear: "I have been researching and researching day and night, and only then have I created a hovercraft, a powerful water weapon. I don't know how much it will bring to Dawu. Have you counted it? But It’s only 200 million taels, and you’re all thinking about me, what’s the reason for that?”

Qian Yuan was so angry that he wanted to jump up.

How can you ignore it?

That's 200 million taels!

How much is that, do you know?

If it is used to build ships, at least thousands of ships can be built!

Do you know how much he can embezzle if he uses it for other projects?

The result is all in your pocket!

The other officials listened with mouths crooked and eyes slanted.

Long-cherished night sleep?

Day and night?

You have the nerve to speak out!

I have never seen you busy before!

This month, I've been listening to the gossip about you flirting with Miss Ziyue!

Seeing that there was going to be a quarrel, the empress smiled and waved her hands: "Okay, okay, these are all trivial matters! Just build the ship and don't worry about other things!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" The two said in unison.

Lin Beifan was triumphant, and Qian Yuanshen, Minister of the Household Department, felt extremely wronged!

Your Majesty, this little bastard has embezzled 200 million taels of the national treasury, so why don't I care about it?

No matter how eccentric you are, you can't be so eccentric, right?

"Lin Aiqing, step forward and listen to the letter!"

"Your Majesty!" Lin Beifan stood up.

The empress said loudly: "Before, Lin Aiqing presented the method of manufacturing and controlling the flying artifact, the big balloon, and found out several traitors from the Ministry of Industry, and exposed the bewitching method of the Tianyi Sect, so as to maintain our rule!"

"Nowadays, I have built a hovercraft that is a sharp weapon on the water, which has greatly enhanced my ability to lead the navy. The credit is huge! Now, with all the merits and rewards, Lin Aiqing has been promoted to a fourth-rank official!"

"Reward a hundred acres of fertile land, and ten thousand taels of silver! This is it!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Lin Beifan said loudly.

Looking up, I found a pair of red eyes with envy.

To be honest, it is impossible for all officials not to be envious.

It took them decades, after decades of hard work, and I don't know how many people they defeated, before they came to this position step by step!

Among the hardships, only they themselves know.

But what about Lin Beifan?

It has only been 4 months since he was admitted as the No. [-] scholar.

Jumped one level in almost a month, from a small sixth-rank official to the current fourth-rank official position!

Saved several years, even ten years!

What's even more exasperating is that he was promoted so quickly, and he even made so much money along the way!

Almost fried their oil and water!

For the first time, they hated God for being so unfair!

But at this time, many people secretly breathed a sigh of relief, secretly happy in their hearts.

Because, Lin Beifan has been promoted, so he should have no way to stay in the Imperial College anymore, and continue to collect money from their children.

After all, the highest leader of the Guozijian Jijiu is just a fourth-rank official.

Lin Beifan is also from the fourth rank, and the two have the same official rank.

This is a big taboo in officialdom, and one person must be transferred away.

Obviously, the original Liu Jijiu had been serving as wine for more than ten years. He was highly respected and deeply rooted in the Imperial College. In the end, Lin Beifan, who had the least seniority, must have been transferred away.

The empress smiled and asked Mimi: "Lin Aiqing, you are now an official of the fourth rank, and you can be regarded as a member of the imperial court. Which department do you want to work in? I will give you the right to choose!"

"Thank you Your Majesty for giving me this opportunity! I have always yearned for the Ministry of Housing, so I want to go to the Ministry of Households to practice and learn from all the adults, and please Your Majesty to make it happen!" Lin Beifan laughed.

Treasury, here I come!

When Qian Yuanshen, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, saw Lin Beifan's smile, he was in a bad mood!

This bastard is clearly looking at the treasury!

Before I came to the Ministry of Accounts, I was able to steal so much money!

If you come, what's the deal?

If something happens in the future, even his immediate boss will not be able to escape responsibility!

Sooner or later, she will be cheated to death by him!

So, he stood up without hesitation: "I object!"

The Empress asked: "Qian Aiqing, why do you object?"

"Weichen thinks that Mr. Lin's job in our household department will not provide any experience. It is better to go to the Ministry of Industry! Mr. Lin has invented the flying balloon and the water hovercraft. He is very talented in invention and creation! Therefore, Master Lin will definitely play a huge role when he goes to the Ministry of Industry!"

Wang Rushui, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, heard this and his eyelids twitched.

Qian Yuanshen, what enmity do I have with you, you want to harm me like this?

Before he came to the Ministry of Industry, he slapped all the officials of our Ministry of Industry from beginning to end!

The oil and water on my hands were squeezed out, and I returned to poverty overnight!

You still let us see him every day and work with him, doesn't it make us uncomfortable?

I'm not in good health now, if he gets mad at me, will you be responsible?

So, he stood up without hesitation: "I object to Master Lin coming to our department!"

The Empress asked, "Wang Aiqing, why do you object?"

Wang Rushui said in a loud voice: "I feel that Mr. Lin is really degraded by coming to our Ministry of Industry! Our Ministry of Industry is full of hard work and dirty work. Mr. Lin really can't show his talents! Why don't you go to the Ministry of Officials? For fit!"

Gao Tianyao, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, was so angry that his mouth slanted and his eyes slanted.

Good you Wang Rushui!

I usually treat you well, but you actually hurt me so much?

I can't wait to slap that little scourge to death now, and you still introduce him to me?

Are you trying to piss me off on purpose?

snort!Next time I have a chance, I must refer to you for a copy!

"I object to this!"

Gao Tianyao stood up and said, "Your Majesty, all the officials in our Ministry of Officials are already in place. There is really no place for Mr. Lin. Why not arrange for Mr. Lin to go to the Ministry of Punishment! Mr. Lin is resourceful and quick-witted, and he will definitely solve cases like a god." !"

"I object to this!"

Shangshu Xingbu stood up without hesitation.
