"Father? Isn't 6 taels too much?"

Lei Ming and Long Lin spoke almost at the same time.

Hearing Uncle Lei Ming's words, Long Lin immediately felt a little embarrassed.

His expression became somewhat awkward, and he didn't know how to speak.

Lei Xiao turned his head and looked at Lei Ming, his eyes became very severe.

"Lei Ming, he has encountered difficulties, I am his grandfather, shouldn't I help him?"

"He didn't use this money to spend recklessly. For the sake of the country and the people, I, Lei Xiao, should help as much as I have the ability."

"The rest of the money should be enough for our Lei Mansion to face some sudden events."

"In the face of big right and wrong, put your eyes on silver. When will you become the pillar of my Lei family?"

Grandpa Lei's words were eloquent and his expression was very serious.

Hearing such a harsh voice, Long Lin couldn't help but tremble in his heart.

Facing Lei Xiao's thunder directly, his body began to tremble uncontrollably.

"What the father taught is that the child understands that it is the child's fault. The child is just worried, afraid that if something happens to the remaining money, we will not be able to deal with it. Now the child understands."

Hearing the thundering words, Long Lin felt a burst of embarrassment in his heart.

He could understand his uncle, and there was nothing wrong with his uncle.

"Grandpa? I..."

Lei Xiao turned his head and looked at Long Lin.

"Grandson, don't listen to your uncle's nonsense, Lei Mansion will be fine, everything is fine."

"You take the money and go to business. Grandpa doesn't need you to pay it back. You have to concentrate on doing what you want to do well."

"The matter of cards is not important to Grandpa. Grandpa is also very happy to be able to select more talents for the court."

"As long as you don't do bad things, as long as you don't do evil, grandpa will do his best to support you."

These words were spoken, matched with Lei Xiao's benevolent expression on his face.

Listening to Long Lin's ears, he felt that his whole heart was going to be completely melted.

He only had 10 taels of silver, so he could get 6 taels for him. This kind of behavior was deeply engraved in Long Lin's heart, and he would never forget it for the rest of his life.

Chapter 155

Long Lin's expression was very respectful, and his heart was full of gratitude.

"Grandpa, thank you. If my grandson has money in the future, he will definitely respect you."

Lei Xiao waved his hand, and the smile on his face deepened.

"Grandson, you are the prince, and you should put the country and the country as the most important thing in doing things. The Ministry of Rites is very important, and it is the hope of the entire Dragon Dynasty."

"Since your father has entrusted the Ministry of Rites to your hands, you must wholeheartedly consider for this country and the people of the world."

"Although this world is the emperor's world, you have to understand that it is also the world of the people in the world, and belongs to the entire Chinese nation."

"Grandpa is getting old, but grandpa hopes that you, and everyone in the Lei family, can serve the country wholeheartedly."

"Grandpa can help you with only a little bit of strength. I hope that in the future, you will have a broader mind and a wider vision."

Long Lin listened carefully, and nodded firmly to Grandpa.

"Grandpa, please rest assured that grandson will definitely do his best to do something for this country, for this world, and for the whole nation."

"Okay...okay...okay, if you can think that way, grandpa can rest assured, Yinzi, I will let your uncle Lei Ming deliver it to you in person, you just wait in the mansion. "

"Thank you grandpa, grandpa's kindness, my grandson has recorded it, and my grandson is on behalf of the world, thank grandpa for his generosity."

"Grandson, stay in the mansion and have dinner together? It's almost noon."

Upon hearing this, Long Lin shook his head decisively.

Forget about the meal, he continued to stay here, fearing that these people would not be able to digest this meal.

Not everyone can have the chest diameter of his grandfather, at least Uncle Lei Ming, I'm afraid he won't be able to accept it in a short time.

"No, grandpa, time is very tight, grandson has to rush to the Ministry of Industry now, and visit grandpa after grandson finishes his work in the future."

"Okay, a good man should take the country as the most important thing, and the grandson can go to work, Lei Ming, you can send the grandson off for me."

Lei Xiao stood up while talking.

Long Lin saluted respectfully, turned around and left, Lei Ming followed behind with a smile on his face, and sent Long Lin out of the mansion all the way.

It was only after watching Long Lin get on the sedan chair that he turned around and returned to the mansion.

He simply couldn't understand that his father would make such a decision.

6 taels?God!That was his salary for nearly 100 years. His father was clean and honest, and most of the money came from the emperor's reward.

But in the current situation, he is already at home, how could the emperor continue to reward his father.

Although the emperor has always taken good care of the entire Lei family, but the affairs of the Ministry of Rites are the affairs of the imperial court, and the imperial court should spend money anyway.

The emperor only gave out 5 taels, which is a good thing, his father actually gave out more than the emperor, and took out as much as 6 taels all at once.

Eh......

Lei Ming, who was on the way back, sighed heavily.

All the way back to the living room, father Lei Xiao was still sitting there calmly.

After seeing him, his expression was very calm, and he was holding three ginseng sent by Long Lin in his hand.

Lei Ming looked at the three ginsengs, and immediately smiled wryly.

"Father, these three ginsengs are worth the old man's money. One ginseng is worth 2 taels of silver."

"Father, this ginseng, my child believes that after you eat it, you will definitely be nourished."

After hearing this, Lei Xiao was not angry, but calmly put the ginseng on the table.

"Lei Ming, this has nothing to do with ginseng, do you still not understand?"

Lei Ming sat beside Lei Xiao, his expression was full of puzzlement.

"Father, if it's a few thousand taels of silver, the boy will definitely not feel bad. After all, he is your grandson and the boy's nephew."

"However, this matter, the child feels that the father does not need it at all."

"6 taels of silver, for our Lei family, that is a very large sum. The current deposits of our Lei Mansion are only a little over 3 taels of silver."

"This is your reward from the emperor for so many years."

Lei Ming spoke a lot in one breath, then paused, and looked at his father Lei Xiao.

Lei Xiao was very calm, his expression didn't change a bit.

"continue."

Seeing Lei Ming stop, Lei Xiao blurted out two words.

Lei Ming took a deep breath and continued to speak.

"Father, we have decided to support Long Qi with all our strength. In the future, Long Qi may also use a lot of money."

"Now that we have taken out so much at once, where can we find it when we really need it in the future?"

"Long Lin took the silver and spent it all in the Ministry of Rites, and you have already spoken, father, so there is no need for Long Lin to return the money."

"Even if Long Lin is asked to repay, with his current performance, how could he have the ability to repay such a large amount of silver taels?"

In Lei Xiao's view, this is completely equivalent to giving away for nothing, and there is no possibility of returning at all.

After finishing speaking, Lei Ming paused again and looked at his father.

"continue."

Lei Xiao was still very calm, and said these two words again.

"Father, this is not the way to love grandchildren. The child thinks it is very inappropriate."

"If he can be like Long Qi, maybe he can get some rewards in the future, but now it seems that there is no such possibility at all."

"Once Long Qi steps on the throne in the future, Long Lin's status will only get lower and lower, and even worse than our Lei family."

"What is the meaning of such help to us?"

Lei Xiao nodded and said those two words again.

"continue."

Lei Ming froze for a moment, but continued to speak.

"Father, my child feels that this kind of behavior is a bit like a farmer saving a snake. The farmer originally had good intentions, but the snake will still want the farmer's life in the future."

"There are many people in this world who repay their kindness and revenge. Not every good intention can be exchanged for a good result."

"Now Long Lin said that he wants to spend his money on the Ministry of Rites, but we don't know exactly what he wants to do. This is just his one-sided words."

"Even if we want to give him money to help him, we should wait until the matter is clear before making a decision."

"It's too risky for you to do this, my child thinks."

After Lei Ming finished speaking, he looked at his father calmly. After talking so much, Lei Ming finally calmed down a little.

"continue."

"Father, you also heard from Long Lin that he took the money to repair the schools in the capital."

"Those schools are the result of the decisions you made with the ministers back then. Do we, the Dragon Dynasty, really need so many students?"

"You know, after some people have knowledge, it may become a great disaster for mankind."

"The harm done by these people is even more terrible than those without knowledge."

Chapter 156 Lei Xiao's Teachings

Lei Ming didn't stop this time, and continued talking.

"Father, you are asking him to repair the Ministry of Rituals now, which is completely opposite to what you thought back then."

"His behavior like this is undoubtedly questioning your decision back then. No one in the Manchu court will agree."

"Presumably even the current emperor would not agree with him to act so recklessly."

"You give him money and ask him to do something contrary to your decision. This point, the child can't figure it out at all."

"Also, father, man dies for money and birds die for food. This is an eternal truth. Long Lin easily won the first time, and he may have the second time."

"Come back next time. If father doesn't have any money, he will only resent you in his heart. It's far more appropriate to give a little bit."

"In this way, every time he comes, we can give him some. The salary of a local county magistrate is only so much every year. We have already given him a lot."

"Our Lei family has a great career, and there are many descendants. Frankly speaking, although Long Lin is your grandson, his surname is Long after all."

"Father, the child is finished."

The 6 taels of silver grabbed Lei Ming's heart.

It made him completely unable to control himself, and he didn't need to hide it from his own father.

Simply, he said all the thoughts in his heart.

This was his idea. If it were him, Long Lin would be able to take away 6000 taels at most, and definitely not more than 1 taels.

6000 taels, that is already a huge amount, it is equivalent to ten years of his salary.

As far as this is concerned, for the sake of Long Lin being the prince, if it is an ordinary relative, it should be a few dozen taels at most.

After he finished speaking, he looked at Lei Xiao, and Lei Xiao's eyes were also looking at him.

The father and son just looked at each other quietly and fell silent.

After a long time, Lei Ming couldn't stand the suppressed breath.

"Father, if you have something to say, just say it, and the child will definitely listen."

Hehe...hehe...
