I Am a Corrupt Official, But They Say I Am a Loyal Minister!

The person in front of him is Wang Fugui, a close associate of the Jiangnan King.

He had contacted Lin Beifan on behalf of the King of Jiangnan before, and spent 50,000 taels of silver to obtain the method of manufacturing the defective large balloon from him.

At this time, the other party had a big belly and trotted over.

With a flattering smile on his face, he nodded and said with a bow: "Of course, it's Master Lin who is very popular! Oh, look at my mouth... It should be said that it's Master Jijiu! Congratulations to the lord, who is less than 20 years old, Jijiu. For the first time in the world, it will definitely be famous in the history of the Qing Dynasty, and it will last forever!"

Lin Beifan laughed loudly: "Boss Wang, you really know how to talk! If you know how to talk, talk a little bit more. This official is all ears!"

"Hao Le! Since I like the sacrifice and wine, then the little one will say a few more words!" Wang Fugui smiled: "However, to congratulate the adult on his promotion and become a famous person in history! The little one has prepared a sumptuous banquet. , I wonder if the adults can appreciate the light?"

"Happy!" Lin Beifan laughed.

The two came to a luxurious restaurant.

This restaurant has been taken over by Wang Fugui, and it is dedicated to serving the two of them.

There are all kinds of rare and delicious food on the table, as well as the best wine, which makes Lin Beifan 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 eyes.

During the process of eating and drinking, Wang Fugui also toasted frequently and kept flattering. I have to say that the other party is worthy of doing business. This mouth is so sweet that it makes Lin Beifan float up.

Lin Beifan enjoyed this meal very happily.

This is the day that corrupt officials should enjoy!

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

Wang Fugui finally drank all the people, then took the wine glass and sat close to Lin Beifan, and said with a smile: "Lord Lin, are you satisfied with this meal?"

"Very satisfied, thank you Boss Wang for entertaining!" Lin Beifan held the wine and said with a smile: "Boss Wang, why are you here this time? Now you can talk about it!"

The other party sat for another minute and whispered, "You must have guessed the purpose of the little man's visit! You must have guessed the purpose of the sacrifice! The little man's trip is for the court's water weapon, the hovercraft!"

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

Lin Beifan tasted wine with a glass of wine, and said in a very embarrassing way: "Boss Wang, I am honored to serve the lord! However, this matter you mentioned, this is a matter of killing one's head! You know, before the flying artifact The leakage of the big balloon has caused the wrath of the imperial court and killed a group of people..."

He repeated the words that fooled Mo Rushuang and the King of Jibei behind him.

In the end, he shook his head very resolutely: "So, this matter must not be done, you should be clever!"

Wang Fugui smiled bitterly: "I also know that this matter is very embarrassing for adults! But the prince has made three applications and five orders, and must get the method of manufacturing the hovercraft! If you can't get it back, I will lose my head when I am small, so you, Lord Lin. Don't worry! You can rest assured, after the event is completed, the benefits will definitely be from you.'!"

At this time, Lin Beifan finally let go: "I also know the difficulties between you and the prince! Let me tell you the numbers. If you are satisfied, I will hand over the manufacturing method of the hovercraft to you!"

"Lord Lin, just speak up!" Wang Fugui said.

Lin Beifan stretched out five fingers: "50,000 taels! As long as you can give me 50,000 taels, I will give you the method of making the hovercraft!"

"What? 50,000 taels!"

Wang Fugui's eyes widened in shock: "Lord Lin, this is too much! You must know that the manufacturing method of the flying artifact big balloon is only 50,000 taels! The hovercraft is just a boat, no matter how you say it. You asked for 50,000 taels, you...you are too embarrassing, the lord will not agree!"

"It's fine if I don't agree, I'm afraid I'll have no money to spend!" Lin Beifan said happily.

Wang Fugui could see that the other party deliberately opened his mouth and declined the request of him and the prince.

"Master Lin, can you make it a little less? How about 30,000?"

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

Wang Fugui was tangled: "Lord Lin, take a little time with the younger, you let me go and discuss with the prince!"

"Of course, please!"

After the banquet, Wang Fugui hurriedly went back.

Then, no one was seen for two days.

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

"Lord Lin, look at 40,000, will it work?"

Lin Beifan categorically refused: "It's still 50,000, I won't do anything less than that!"

After a long time, Wang Fugui was not seen.

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

Because Lin Beifan's asking price is not lower than the method of making big balloons, many people have not agreed and have been hesitating.

Lin Beifan is not in a hurry, there is only one family, there is no semicolon, and sooner or later they will be able to take out their money.

And this matter, through the mouth of Bai Guanyin, spread to the ears of the Empress.

The Empress was numb: "This guy, he's betraying the country again! I suspect now that he created a hovercraft just to get money from them!"

"No doubt, it is!" Bai Guanyin said with a smile: "To make a hovercraft, you need a large balloon airbag! But their airbag manufacturing method is problematic, it is not durable, and it is easy to leak water and air! Therefore, even if they build it, Can't use it!"

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

In the early morning of the second day, the Empress announced in public that she was going to use the new hovercraft, an artifact of Zhenguo, to conduct a military exercise on the river to show the prestige of our country!

Another day, the empress, together with the officials and the common people, came to the river outside the city.

The Empress ordered someone to push the already manufactured hovercraft into the river.

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

Then, the soldiers were ordered to stand up one by one.

On the same day, this piece of water and land composed of hovercraft was actually filled with tens of thousands of people, and then floated steadily to the other side.

The whole process takes 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 were more hovercraft, wouldn't it be possible to transport more soldiers at the same time?

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

It is indeed a hovercraft that is a powerful tool on the water!

And those spies felt a huge threat!

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

Although large balloons can fly into the sky, their carrying capacity is limited, at most two people. Even if you create 1, you can only hold 2 at most.

What can 2 people do?

At most, check the enemy's situation, play sneak attack or something, and the attack ability is limited.

In a real war, the comparison is between troops, transportation, and logistical support!

At this time, the hovercraft will play a huge advantage!

It is completely possible to connect boats with iron chains, cross oceans and rivers, and transport a large number of troops and materials!

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 hovercraft is not expensive, and it is not complicated to make...

As a result, the military strength of the imperial court has been significantly strengthened!

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

This urgent news quickly spread back!

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

This time, I didn't hesitate: "¨々Sir Lin, the lord has already agreed, 50,000 taels, you will give me the manufacturing method of the hovercraft!"

Lin Beifan shook his head: "50,000 won't do, I want 60,000 taels!"

Wang Fugui was stunned: "Why are you still raising the price?"

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

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

Lin Beifan said angrily: "I don't want to sell it to you for 50,000 cheap! Now, after the military exercise yesterday, everyone discovered the huge role of the hovercraft, and the imperial court is watching more closely. What do you want me to do? I'm desperate too!"

Wang Fugui panicked: "Lord Lin, but we negotiated before..."

Lin Beifan was even more angry: "Who negotiated with you? I kept saying 50,000 yuan, but you just disagree! Now it's 60,000 yuan, if you want to buy it or not, if you don't buy it, let it go!"

Wang Fugui looked gloomy and uncertain, and finally gritted his teeth: "60,000, bought it!"

In this way, Lin Beifan made an extra 10,000!

Then, Lin Beifan secretly met with other prince representatives and state representatives.

All price increases without exception!

Depending on their respective economic capabilities, they can raise at least 500,000 yuan, and at most 20,000 yuan, and refuse to bargain!

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

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

In this wave, Lin Beifan greed a total of more than 40,000 taels!

Earn more than the previous Big Balloons!

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

The queen was numb when she saw this huge sum of money!

The Empress was surprised, delighted and numb: "This guy is so greedy! In less than half a month, he has greed for more than 40,000 yuan, which is almost equivalent to half the national treasury!"

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

The Empress nodded in agreement with the dragon.

"But he offends people so much, and he is the enemy of the whole world, and he can't go anywhere in the future!"

The Empress' eyes softened, and she smiled: "It's best if you can't go anywhere! In this way, he can stay in the capital honestly and serve me! However, now I most want to see other princes, when they find that they spend How would you look if you can't make a qualified hovercraft with the manufacturing method bought at sky-high prices?"

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