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

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Everyone said in unison.

Lin Beifan reported loudly: "My Majesty, the minister was ordered to go to the disaster relief. It took a total of 15 days before and after, and there was no slack in the slightest! Now that the mission has been completed and I have returned smoothly, Your Majesty please pay attention!"

The empress said very excitedly: "Ai Qing, you have worked so hard on this journey! I know everything you have done! Starting from the capital, traveling all the way, starry night and fast, it took less than 4 days to reach Huazhou , Relieve the victims in time!"

"Afterwards, through careful and thoughtful arrangements along the way, the casualties of the common people were greatly reduced! You have done a good job, I am so relieved! You should rest for a few days first, and I will arrange other things! Your credit, I will Remember!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Lin Beifan thanked him, stepped back, and let the C position out.

Facing the expectant gazes, the empress said loudly: "And my people, you have worked hard all the way to get here! I have already prepared hot meals, tents, and quilts. Wait, after you eat and drink enough, take a good rest and recharge your spirits!"

"As Lin Aiqing said, you are all citizens of Dawu, and you are my people! I will never abandon any of the people of Dawu, and I will never abandon any of the people of Dawu!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Long En!" The disaster victims said in unison, their hearts filled with joy.

The problem of disaster relief was solved, but how to resettle the victims became a major problem that the imperial court had to face.

This matter involves the basic necessities of life of millions of people. If it is not handled properly, it will cause a series of problems and bring unimaginable consequences.

In order to solve this problem, the empress had to call all civil and military officials to discuss countermeasures.

Even Lin Beifan, who was resting, was pulled over.

"Dear dears, what good advice do you have?"

Hundreds of officials put forward their own suggestions.

However, since there are too many people involved this time, it is very troublesome to deal with, and there is no one way to achieve both.

At this time, Lin Beifan stepped forward: "Your Majesty, I have already thought of a countermeasure!"

The empress said happily: "Speak, Aiqing!"

"The disaster victims have no house, no land, no food, no money. It can be said that they have nothing! So the most important thing now is to provide them with a job. Only after they have a job will they have money, food, houses and fields!"

An old minister frowned and said, "How can there be so many jobs in the capital?"

Lin Beifan smiled and said, "The capital can't provide it, but our court can!"

The empress' eyes moved: "You mean, work for relief?"

"Your Majesty, that's right!"

"But what about the food?"

Qian Yuanshen, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, smiled wryly: "Our biggest problem now is the lack of food! Do we have to feed them all the time? If we do this, our food will not last until next year at all!"

"Also, what do we do with cash for work?"

Wang Rushui, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, stood up and said, "In the capital, all the projects that can be done have been done! There are still some small projects left, which simply cannot support millions of disaster victims!"

"There is still the problem of accommodation!"

Minister of the Ministry of Justice stood up: "Now, the weather is getting colder and colder! Now the victims are living in tents, wrapped in quilts, and still feel cold! But in two months, when the real winter is really cold, if the problem cannot be solved The problem will inevitably freeze to death on a large scale! How can this problem be solved?"

Everyone expressed their opinions, and the more they talked, the more questions they had.

The empress frowned: "Okay! I called you here to solve the problem, not to raise the problem! Since you have nothing to do now, let's listen to Lin Aiqing and see what he can do! Lin Aiqing, hurry up! Tell me the countermeasure!"

After finishing speaking, a pair of beautiful eyes looked at Lin Beifan expectantly.

This guy has solved many difficult things since he became an official.

Hope it will be the same this time!

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Lin Beifan smiled slightly: "Your Majesty, my lords, it is actually not difficult to solve this matter! Have you ever thought about building a sub-city in the capital?"

Everyone was shocked: "Build a sub-city?"

"Yes!" Lin Beifan nodded with a smile: "As long as a city is built, all problems will be solved! Building a new city requires a lot of labor. Isn't a million people enough?"

"After the city is built, it can solve the problems of food, clothing, housing and transportation for the victims, once and for all!"

"One more thing, the population of our capital is already saturated! The area of ​​the city remains the same, but the population is increasing, which is not conducive to management and development! It is just right to build a new city to accommodate some of the population!"

"It's a good idea, but how can it be so easy to build a new city?" The Minister of Rites smiled bitterly: "Which city in our Dawu didn't take decades to build bit by bit? We are now There is no such time at all! After the city is established, let alone the victims of the disaster, we will almost die!"

"In addition, there are a lot of resources that are consumed! Needless to say, everyone should know the resources needed! Our imperial court simply cannot afford this resource!"

"Master Lin, your idea is a bit whimsical, it's not practical at all!"

"Let's change your mind!"

……

Everyone is not optimistic about it.

At this time, Lin Beifan bowed and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I have a way to build a new city within three months! Moreover, it will definitely not consume the resources of the court!"

The crowd was shocked.

"Building a city in three months, how is this possible?!"

"Just kidding, this is!"

"Master Lin, the matter is very important now, don't make such a joke!"

……

Lin Beifan was very calm: "The reason why I dare to boast about Haikou is because I have this ability! This involves an invention of the minister! This invention is not inferior to the big balloon, the flying artifact, and the hovercraft, which is a sharp weapon on the water! Just take it Come out and make sure to solve the city construction problem!"

Everyone was shocked again!

This invention is not inferior to big balloons and hovercraft?

You know, Lin Beifan's two previous inventions were amazing!

One can take people to the sky and realize people's dream of flying for thousands of years!

The other one can strengthen water transportation, transport troops and food on a large scale, and greatly enhance the army's logistical strength!

Now, another heaven-defying invention has emerged, which is not inferior to these two artifacts at all?

Therefore, Baiguan is not calm anymore!

The empress is not calm anymore!

"Aiqing, what is the invention? Tell me quickly!" The empress was very excited.

All the officials looked forward to it, waiting for Lin Beifan's explanation.

But Lin Beifan said slowly: "Your Majesty, this invention involves the national capital! In order to research this invention, I forgot to sleep and eat, and paid a huge price! So, can you help Chen with some research funding?"

The Empress is about to laugh angrily!

This little bastard!

At this time, don't forget to be greedy for money!

The empress said angrily: "Okay, okay! Lin Aiqing, if your invention really benefits the country and the people, solves the problem of millions of victims, and can build a city within three months, I will approve you 200 million yuan!" Funding, okay?"

"Your Majesty, can you give me more? It's not easy for me!" Lin Beifan said eagerly.

The empress was so angry that she really wanted to tear off his aggressive face, knead it into a ball and kick it like a ball!

"Add another 50, and the household department has no money! I will keep your credit in my heart, and I will reward you together in the future, okay? Hurry up and tell me about your invention!" the empress urged.

Chapter 225 Are you satisfied with the speed at which I build the house?

"The third invention introduced by Chen is called cement!"

"Cement?" Everyone wondered.

Lin Beifan smiled and said: "Cement is a building material. It is usually in the form of powder. Once watered, it becomes gelatinous, but it can solidify quickly! Once solidified, it becomes as strong as a rock! In this way, it can be used to build houses , Repair bridges and roads, repair city walls, etc., it is really useful!"

"The materials used are relatively simple, mainly quicklime, clay and some iron slag. After being calcined, cement can be formed!"

Seeing everyone's ignorance, Lin Beifan was full of the arrogance of a science student.

What a bunch of science blinds, they can't understand such a simple truth!

It's like chickens talking to ducks and playing the piano to cows!

So he said angrily: "Let me tell you this! If you use cement to build a house, you can build a house in three days! And the strength of the house is not inferior to that of a mansion!"

Everyone's complexion finally changed.

Wang Rushui, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, blurted out: "How can it be possible to build a house in three days? If you say you want to build a thatched cottage, three days is indeed barely enough! However, if you want to build a house that is not inferior to For a house in a mansion compound, how is three days enough?"

"According to my knowledge, to build a large house, the first step is to excavate the trench foundation, which takes 3-4 days! The next step is to lay the foundation, which also takes 3-4 days, - don't be careless !"

"The next step is to place the capstones and erect the large wooden pillars, which will take 2 to 3 days! At this point, the real house will be built, but it has already taken 8 to 9 days!"

"After the big wooden pillars are erected, bricks and walls can be built. If it is fast, it can be completed in 4 to 5 days! Finally, the roof is capped and tiles are laid, which also takes 4 to 5 days!"

"So, to build a house, it will take half a month at the fastest speed, and it is still in the case of sufficient materials! You actually told this officer that it only takes three days. Isn't this a joke?"

Seeing that Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry said clearly and logically, everyone questioned Lin Beifan's words.

"It's really impossible to build a house in three days! For example, the official's mansion took another three years before it was finally built and ready for occupancy! A small house inside took three months above time!"

"When I was still a schoolboy, I liked to watch other people build houses! They wanted to build a big house, and it was impossible without a month!"

"You built such a house in three days, I will never believe it!"

……

Facing everyone's doubts, Lin Beifan was very calm: "My lords, if you haven't seen it, it doesn't mean you don't have it! Just like before, I said that I will research the flying artifact, do you believe it? No, you don't believe it at all, but no Is it still made by the official, and now it is mass-produced!"

"This..." Baiguan looked at each other in blank dismay.

"There is also a hovercraft, a powerful water tool, which I invented! Now it is also mass-produced, and it has already played a huge role! Whether it is transporting people or transporting food, it is very good!"

Baiguan gradually fell silent.

Lin Beifan continued: "So, this official is not aimless! This cement is well used, not inferior to big balloons and hovercraft! In some respects, it is even more practical than these two artifacts!"

"As long as cement is used, I am fully confident that within two months, millions of disaster victims can live in strong and warm houses! Within three months, a new city will be completely built!"

Everyone's complexion changed drastically again!

Within two months, solve the living problems of millions of disaster victims!

Within three months, a new city was built!

How could it be possible?

Just about to open her mouth to refute, the Empress waved her hand resolutely: "It's useless to talk now, let Aiqing try it first! Aiqing has been an official in the court for more than half a year, why has she ever let us down? Try it first, and see the effect Give me your full support!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Lin Beifan raised his hand.

The empress thought for a while and said, "By the way, since it involves building a house, the Ministry of Industry will fully cooperate!"

"The minister complies with the decree!" The minister of the Ministry of Industry led the decree.

After receiving the support of the empress, Lin Beifan began to make arrangements.

Holding a hand-painted map around the capital, he pulled a group of people to run around outside the capital.

"This is Panji Mountain, and there is a lot of limestone in it. You led a group of disaster victims here to mine limestone! There is a river passing by below, and it can be transported to this place through the river!"

"Yes, Lord Fu Cheng!"

Then ran to another place.

"There is a large amount of high-quality clay here, which can be mined for forging cement! You bring the victims here to dig the clay, and then transport it all the way down the river to this place!"

"Yes, Lord Fu Cheng!"

"Talk to the Ministry of Industry, and transport here the iron slag left over from their usual production of weapons and various ironware! In addition, collect iron ore slag from the people, the more the better!"

"Yes, Lord Fu Cheng!"

……

Then, Lin Beifan wanted to pull out the artisans from the Ministry of Industry and asked them to build a huge calcination factory in their own circle for the production of cement.

Then arrange some craftsmen to make molds.

Some people were arranged to dig and transport sand and gravel.

……

There is a lot of work and the content is very detailed, but Lin Beifan arranges everything in an orderly manner.
