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

"So, the benefits of having the number one scholar in the pocket are really great!"

"If you lose money, you can still make it again, but if you lose a talent like Zhuangyuanlang, no amount of money can buy it back!"

King Jibei nodded: "The military division is right!"

"Moreover, Zhuangyuan Lang also promised us that he only asked for money to protect himself! If something happens in the future, he can safely come to northern Hebei to assist the prince, and all the money he covets will be handed over to the prince!"

"My lord, you should just store the money with Zhuangyuanlang for the time being! After all, he has risked his beheading many times and done so many things for you, so you can't let him feel cold!"

King Jibei gritted his teeth: "What the military adviser said is absolutely true! But we really don't have that much money..."

Mr. Zhuge's eyes sharpened: "My lord, those who achieve great things don't care about trivial matters!"

King Jibei nodded heavily, and there was also a cold light in his eyes.

The bank note of 300 million taels was soon handed over to Lin Beifan.

Lin Beifan was very happy.

300 million taels can be paid out so quickly, you really can't underestimate the financial resources of a prince!

It seems that in the future, we can work harder!

"This is how a hovercraft is made!"

Lin Beifan handed over a few sheets of paper full of words and pictures, and warned: "You must be careful, and don't leak it out, otherwise we will all have to eat and walk around!"

"Don't worry, son, we know how to deal with it!"

Mo Rushuang and the two carefully picked up the materials, put them in a box and took them away.

Just made a fortune, Lin Beifan was in a very good mood, and planned to go out for a stroll, but saw a familiar person and smiled.

"Boss Wang, long time no see! What brought you here?".

Chapter 133 In terms of greed for money, I would like to regard you as the strongest!

The person in front of him is Wang Fugui, a confidant of Jiangnan Wang.

He had previously contacted Lin Beifan on behalf of Jiangnan Wang, and spent 500 million taels of silver to obtain from him the method of making a defective large balloon.

At this time, the other party came trotting over with a big belly.

With a flattering smile on his face, he nodded and bowed his head and said, "Of course it's Mr. Lin who is in trouble! Oh, look at my mouth... It should be said to be Mr. Jijiu! Congratulations, Mr. Jijiu, who is less than 20 years old, It is the first time to create the world, and it will definitely be remembered in the history of the Qing Dynasty, and it will last forever!"

Lin Beifan laughed loudly: "Boss Wang, you really can talk! If you can talk, just say a little more, and I will listen with all my ears!"

"Okay! Since you like sacrificial wine, let me say a few more words!" Wang Fugui smiled all over his face: "However, in order to congratulate my lord on his promotion and becoming a famous person in history! The little one has already prepared a sumptuous banquet , I wonder if my lord will appreciate it?"

"I'm so happy!" Lin Beifan laughed.

The two came to a luxurious restaurant.

This restaurant has been taken over by Wang Fugui, serving them both exclusively.

There are all kinds of delicacies on the table, as well as top-quality wine, which makes Lin Beifan very addicted to eating.

Wang Fugui also arranged for a singer to perform. I heard that she was specially invited from Jiangnan, which was very pleasing to the eye.

During the meal and drinking process, Wang Fugui toasted frequently and kept flattering.I have to say that the other party deserves to be in business, this mouth is so sweet, it makes Lin Beifan blow up.

This meal, Lin Beifan ate very happily.

This is the day that corrupt officials should enjoy!

In this way, the wine has three tours, and the dishes have five flavors.

Wang Fugui finally drank all the people away, then raised his wine glass and sat close to Lin Beifan, and said with a smile on his face, "Master Lin, are you satisfied with the food?"

"Very satisfied, thank you Boss Wang for your hospitality!" Lin Beifan held the wine and said with a smile: "Boss Wang, why are you here this time? You can talk now!"

The other party sat a little closer, and said in a low voice: "You must have guessed the purpose of my visit, Mr. Jijiu! I am here for the imperial court's powerful water weapon, the hovercraft!"

Wang Fugui further elaborated: "A few days ago, Lin Jijiu, you invented the second hovercraft that protects the country! I heard that this ship is cheap and easy to manufacture, but it can carry a large amount of food and troops, which greatly strengthens the court. The strength of the navy! The prince is very happy to hear that, I hope you can hand over the method of manufacturing the hovercraft! The prince will definitely reward you a lot!"

Lin Beifan was tasting wine with a wine glass, and said in a very embarrassed way: "Boss Wang, I am honored to serve the prince! However, the matter you mentioned is a matter of beheading! You know, before the flying artifact The leak of the balloon has caused the court to be furious and killed a group of people..."

He repeated the rhetoric that fooled Mo Rushuang and the king of Jibei behind him.

In the end, he shook his head very resolutely: "So, this matter must never be done, you should ask another master!"

Wang Fugui smiled wryly: "I also know that this matter is very embarrassing for your lord! But the prince has repeatedly issued five orders, and he must get the method of manufacturing the hovercraft! If you can't get it back, I will lose my head, so Mr. Lin, you Don't worry about it! Don't worry, after the matter is done, the benefits will definitely be yours~!"

At this time, Lin Beifan finally let go: "I also know the difficulties you and the prince are in! How about this, let me tell you the number, and if you are satisfied, I will leave the method of manufacturing the hovercraft to you!"

"Master Lin, just open your mouth!" Wang Fugui said.

Lin Beifan stretched out five fingers: "500 million taels! As long as you can give me 500 million taels, I will give you the method of manufacturing the hovercraft!"

"What? 500 million taels!"

Wang Fugui's eyes widened in shock: "Lord Lin, this is too much! You know, the manufacturing method of the flying artifact balloon is only 500 million taels! The hovercraft is just a boat after all. But you asked for 500 million taels, you... you are too embarrassing, the prince will not agree!"

"It's just right not to agree, I'm afraid that I will lose my life if I have money!" Lin Beifan said happily.

Wang Fugui could tell that the other party was deliberately talking loudly and politely rejecting his and the prince's request.

"Master Lin, can you have a little less? What do you think of 300 million?"

Lin Beifan shook his head without hesitation: "Don't think about it! This time I really want to lose my head, and I won't do anything less!"

Wang Fugui became entangled: "Master Lin, let me have a little time with the younger one, you let me discuss it with the lord!"

"Of course, please!"

After the banquet, Wang Fugui hurried back with his mind on his mind.

Then, no one was seen for two days.

On the third day, Wang Fugui came over with a tired face.

"Master Lin, look at 400 million, is that okay?"

Lin Beifan flatly refused: "It's still 500 million, I won't do anything less than this amount!"

After a long time, Wang Fugui was not seen.

During this period, Lin Beifan secretly contacted other princes and secret representatives of other countries.

Because Lin Beifan asked for a high price, not lower than the method of making a large balloon, many people have not agreed and have been hesitating.

Lin Beifan wasn't in a hurry, he was the only one with nothing else, and sooner or later he would be able to get their money out.

And this matter, through Bai Guanyin's mouth, reached the ears of the Empress.

The empress was completely paralyzed: "This guy, he's betrayed the country again! I suspect now that he created the hovercraft just to get money out of their hands!"

"There is no doubt, it is!" Bai Guanyin said with a smile: "The airbags of large balloons are needed to make a hovercraft! But their airbags are not durable, and they are prone to water and air leakage! Can't use it!"

"That's really great!" The Empress couldn't help laughing: "In that case, I will help Lin Aiqing!"

On the morning of the second day, the empress announced in public that she was going to use the hovercraft, a new national artifact, to carry out a military exercise on the river to show off the prestige of our country!

Another day later, the empress, all officials and common people came to the river outside the city.

The Empress ordered people to push the manufactured hovercraft into the river.

Then the boats were chained together to form a huge land on water.

Then, order the soldiers to stand up one by one.

On that day, tens of thousands of people actually stood on this piece of water and land composed of hovercraft, and then floated steadily to the other side.

The whole process took less than half an hour!

This scene shocked everyone!

In less than half an hour, tens of thousands of soldiers can be transported to the other side!

If there are more hovercraft, wouldn't it be possible to transport more soldiers at the same time?

Even more food, vital supplies and more can be transported!

Worthy of being a powerful hovercraft on the water!

And those spies feel a huge threat!

The threat of this water weapon hovercraft on the battlefield is much greater than that of a big balloon!

Although a large balloon can fly into the sky, its carrying capacity is limited, up to two people.Even if you make 100, you can only hold up to 200 people.

What can 200 people do?

At most, we should investigate the enemy's situation, play sneak attacks and so on, and the strike ability is limited.

In a real war, what is compared is military strength, transportation, and logistical support!

At this time, the hovercraft has a huge advantage!

It is absolutely possible to connect boats with iron cables, cross oceans and rivers, and transport a large amount of troops and supplies!

And the transportation capacity is unlimited!

How many hovercraft can be built, how many soldiers and supplies can be transported!

And I heard that the cost of the hovercraft is not expensive, and it is not complicated to make...

In this way, the military strength of the imperial court has been significantly strengthened!

If there is a war, the imperial court will have a great chance of winning!

The urgent news was sent back quickly!

On the second day, Wang Fugui appeared in front of Lin Beifan again.

This time without hesitation: "` "Lord Lin, the prince has already agreed, five million taels, you give me the method of making the hovercraft!"

Lin Beifan shook his head: "500 million is not enough, I want 600 million taels!"

Wang Fugui was stunned: "Why is there a price increase?"

"Can you blame me? It's not you!"

Wang Fugui was even more confused: "Blame us?"

Lin Beifan said angrily: "I didn't want to sell you 500 million yuan at a low price before! Now it's all right. After the military exercise yesterday, everyone discovered the great role of the hovercraft. The court has been watching it even tighter. What do you want me to do? Also very desperate!"

Wang Fugui panicked: "Master Lin, but what we discussed before..."

Lin Beifan became even more angry: "Who will discuss it with you? I always say 500 million, but you don't agree! Now it's 600 million, buy it if you like it or not!"

Wang Fugui's complexion was uncertain, and finally he gritted his teeth: "600 million, buy it!"

Just like that, Lin Beifan made an extra million!

Then, Lin Beifan secretly met with representatives of other princes and countries.

All price increases without exception!

Depending on their respective financial capabilities, at least 50 yuan can be raised, and at most 200 million yuan can be raised, and no bargaining is allowed!

Now it's a seller's market, whether you like to buy or not, I'm just so capricious!

In the end, they all gritted their teeth and accepted!

In this wave, Lin Beifan embezzled a total of more than 4000 million taels!

Earn more than the previous big balloon!

Bai Guanyin was numb when she saw this huge sum of money!

When the empress saw this huge sum of money, she also went numb!

The empress was surprised, delighted and numb: "This guy is really greedy! In less than half a month, he has greedy more than 4000 million yuan, which is almost equivalent to half the national treasury!"

Bai Guanyin said expressionlessly: "In fact, since he took office, the money he has embezzled is already equivalent to a national treasury! In terms of greed, I would like to regard him as the strongest!"

The empress nodded in agreement.

"However, he has offended people so much that he is the enemy of the whole world, and he will not be able to go anywhere in the future!"

The Empress' eyes softened, and she said with a smile: "It's best if he can't go anywhere! In this way, he can stay in the capital honestly and serve my life! However, now I want to see the other princes the most. What kind of face will it be if the manufacturing method bought at a sky-high price cannot produce a qualified hovercraft?"

"That must be very exciting!" Bai Guanyin smiled.
