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

Fortunately, he is a grand master, full of energy and physical strength, otherwise he might be really tired!

But even so, Lin Beifan was still too tired.

Especially when it comes to women.

At this time, Li Shishi and Li Yuxin walked in hand in hand with a bowl of lotus seed soup.

Lin Beifan's face suddenly turned pale.

Master Li suddenly felt distressed: "Master, let's rest for a while, drink some soup and continue working!"

Lin Beifan shook his head: "I haven't finished my business, so I can't rest!"

Master Li scolded: "No matter how busy you are, you must take care of your body! It's not too late to do these official duties tomorrow! The most important thing for you now is to have a good rest!"

As he said that, he put aside the business in front of Lin Beifan and asked Lin Beifan to rest and drink soup first.

Lin Beifan was full after a few sips.

At this time, Li Yuxin quietly walked behind Lin Beifan and helped Lin Beifan press his temples to relax him.

Lin Beifan smelled the familiar scent of medicine again, and it smelled very pleasant. He closed his eyes and said, "Miss Yuxin, thank you for your hard work!"

"My lord is the real hard work!" Li Yu said heartbrokenly: "My lord, in order to resettle the millions of disaster victims, you have to wake up early and stay late, stay awake late at night, this bit of hard work of the women is nothing! My lord, from now on, the women will come to help you sleep every day." Just once!"

"Thank you, Miss Yuxin!" Lin Beifan said emotionally.

"You're welcome, this is what women should do!" Li Yuxin was very happy.

At this time, Lin Beifan felt a strange movement in his leg, opened his eyes, and found that Li Shishi was holding his small fist, helping Lin Beifan massage his leg muscles, and asked, "Master, what are you doing?"

Li Shishi smiled and said: "Sister, this is a skill I just learned from Yu Xin! You have been working so hard these days, running up and down, I will help you loosen your legs, I hope you feel better!"

"Master, you are really my good wife!"

At this moment, the little princess ran in yelling, "Lin Beifan! Lin Beifan..."

As a result, he was shocked to see this scene, Lin Beifan slumped on the chair, his face was as pale as a dead ghost.

There are question marks in front of the little princess, what's wrong?

It's only been a day since I've seen you, and it's become so empty?

Did you sneak somewhere to fool around last night?

"Lin Beifan, what's wrong with you?" the little princess asked cautiously.

"Msanggong is busy with the construction of the new city these days, so he is exhausted!" Li Shishi sighed.

"It turned out to be like this!" The leader of the group ran to Lin Beifan and squatted down, seeing Lin Beifan dying, he said with some distress: "Lin Beifan, how are you doing now, do you want me to call the imperial doctor to show you?" Look?"

At this time, Lin Beifan stretched out his weak hand towards her.

"What do you want to do?" The little princess blinked and asked in confusion.

"I'm so tired, send your little face here and let me pinch it!"

Little princess: "..."

Just about to get angry, but seeing Lin Beifan's pale face, thinking of the suffering he had suffered these days, his heart softened, and he said, "Just pinch it, not too much!"

"Little princess, you are so kind!"

So, Lin Beifan pinched the little princess's face, and closed his eyes with a smirk.

Q bomb Q bomb, so fun!

Not long after, Dali walked in: "Young Master, Mr. Gao Tianyao, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, is here. I have something to see you!".

Chapter 228 Is there any reason not to scoop up the lamb delivered to your door?

Lin Beifan was very surprised!

Since he became an official in the court, the first high-ranking official he offended was Gao Tianyao, Minister of the Ministry of Officials. The two can be said to be political enemies, the kind who never get along with each other!

Unexpectedly, one day, the other party would come to him!

"Dali, go and tell him to wait a while and make a cup of tea by the way, I'll be there later!"

"Yes, Master!"

A while later, Lin Beifan saw Gao Tianyao, Minister of the Ministry of Officials in the lobby, cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Master Gao, you are such a rare visitor! I never expected that you would come to my place as a guest! Haha!"

"Ahem..." Gao Tianyao, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, had an unnatural expression on his face, a forced smile squeezed out of his wrinkled face, and he cupped his hands and said, "Master Lin, isn't this old man going to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing? I want to have a secret talk with you, Mr. Lin! By the way, this is a little gift from the old man, please accept it, Mr. Lin!"

Lin Beifan looked over and found that Gao Tianyao brought a lot of gifts.

There are four treasures of the study, calligraphy and painting, copybooks, and jade carvings. They all look elegant, but they are definitely worth a lot.

For example, the painting and calligraphy was made by a master, and the market price has already reached 6000 taels.

Other things are of equal value.

It can be said that Gao Tianyao, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, spent a lot of thought on this gift.

"It turned out to be a gift from Mr. Gao, so the official accepted it with the cheek! Dali, these are all good things, and they are directly moved to my study!" Lin Beifan laughed.

"Yes, young master!" Dali and Xiao Cui moved the things to the back.

Seeing that Lin Beifan didn't shake his face and took his things, Gao Tianyao, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Afterwards, Xiaocui served tea, and then blocked the left and right, leaving only Lin Beifan and Lin Beifan.

"There is no one now, Mr. Gao, please speak directly if you have anything to say, and the next official will listen to you!"

"Ahem, Mr. Lin, the official said straight to the point. This time, the official is here on behalf of the Gao family in the Northern Territory!"

Gao Tian dazzled and became serious, but his expression was still unnatural, and he whispered: "Our Gao family in the Northern Territory hopes to obtain the distribution rights of cement, and we hope you will be accommodating!"

Lin Beifan smiled to himself, sometimes you beg me too!

The Gao family in the Northern Territory is a powerful family that has been passed down for thousands of years.

This family is very remarkable. Every dynasty and every generation has cultivated many outstanding scholars to serve as officials in the dynasty, and their strength is very strong.

When the power is at its strongest, 1/3 of the people in the court belong to them, and they influence the policy of a country. Even the current emperor will act according to their faces.

Only later, with the implementation of the imperial examination system and the popularization of books, their status was greatly reduced.

However, the impact on the court is still huge.

Gao Tianyao is the most outstanding representative of their generation. To achieve the position of second-rank minister in the current dynasty, he can be regarded as a high-ranking and powerful person, and he has blessed the entire family.

The development of any aristocratic family needs money.

Just at this time, Lin Beifan launched the magic weapon of cement, who can remain indifferent?

Therefore, the Gao family in the Northern Territory was moved and urged Gao Tianyao to come over.

No matter how unwilling Gao Tianyao was, for the sake of the Gao family, he had to come to give Lin Beifan a gift and ask Lin Beifan to do something.

"Master Gao, this matter is a bit difficult~!" Lin Beifan spread his hands and said helplessly: "It is written on the imperial list that only the top ten contributors can get the distribution rights of cement! If I don't Acting according to the rules is to deceive the king, this is a matter of decapitation, this official can't bear it!"

Gao Tianyao gave Lin Beifan a white look.

Don't you do too little to deceive the king?

I don't even bother to talk about you!

"Master Lin, I know that this matter is difficult! Therefore, I just hope that you can accommodate within the scope of the rules, for example..." Gao Tianyao said in a low voice: "Can you tell me, what is the current contribution of the Gao family? , who is in front, and how much contribution! In this way, the old man will be easy to handle!"

As he spoke, he took out 10 taels of silver notes from his pocket.

Lin Beifan blinked: "Master Gao, add more!"

The corner of Gao Tianyao's mouth twitched, and he took out two more banknotes, making up 20 taels.

"Thank you, Mr. Gao!" Lin Beifan stuffed the money into his arms with a smile: "Mr. Gao is generous, and the lower officials can't be stingy anymore. Let me tell you!"

Lin Beifan bowed his head and said in a low voice, "The contribution of your Gao family is currently ranked 12th! As for the ones that rank ahead of the Gao family, they are...their contributions are..."

Gao Tianyao was shocked when he heard this: "I didn't expect those big families to be so willing! There are a few merchant families who usually keep quiet, but they are so rich!"

Lin Beifan shook his head and sighed: "I didn't think of it either, I can only say that a mountain is still as high as a mountain! If it weren't for the magic weapon of cement, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to blow them out!"

"Thank you, Mr. Lin, for telling me, I will go back and prepare!" Gao Tianyao hurried back.

Obviously, it is necessary to swipe the contribution value severely and break into the top 10.

Lin Beifan looked at the other party's leaving figure, feeling secretly happy.

In fact, Gao's contribution ranks 8th, which is quite high.

However, there were only a few people who knew about this matter, and Lin Beifan gave a gag order to prevent them from speaking out.

In this way, there is a lot of room for maneuvering!

You can make money easily, and you can also earn some supplies, why not do it?

Lin Beifan sipped his tea carefully, and was about to go back to the study to continue enjoying it, when Dali came again and said, "Master, Mr. Qian, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, is here. He said he has something to talk to you about!"

Lin Beifan laughed, and someone sent money again.

Behind Mr. Qian, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, there is actually a shadow of an aristocratic family.

Perhaps it can be said that the high-ranking officials in the court basically have the shadow of aristocratic families behind them.

Otherwise, it is not so easy for them to climb to a high position.

The aristocratic family helped them gain power, and now it's their turn to repay!

"Hurry up please!"

In the next few days, Lin Beifan secretly met with many people.

They all wanted to inquire about the contribution rate from Lin Beifan, and even hoped that Lin Beifan would directly help them win a distribution right.

Lin Beifan has long sleeves and is good at dancing, accepting all the sugar-coated shells.

The contribution of all parties can be informed, and let them use the contribution value, but the distribution rights are not even considered.

In order to obtain the distribution rights of cement, some people came twice or even three times, each time with sincerity.

In this way, Lin Beifan earned 500 million taels easily.

And the major merchants and aristocratic families, after getting the contribution information from Lin Beifan, immediately prepared supplies after returning home, and collected the contribution value. After you sing, I will appear on the stage, and there will be an endless stream!

As a result, there are more and more materials to support the construction of the new city!

How much?

So much so that Lin Beifan can repay the imperial court.

All the food that was spent on disaster relief before has been replenished, and there is still a little left!

As for other supplies, they are even more abundant!

This incident shocked the court!

In the morning, the empress praised Lin Beifan excitedly: "Lin Aiqing, it is really right that I entrust this matter to you! Not only have you successfully completed the material preparation work, but you have also made our court rich! Good, that's great! ! Remember this merit for the time being, and you will be rewarded later!"

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

I secretly thought in my heart, not only the court is rich, but I am also rich!

But the next moment, Lin Beifan felt a chill on his back, as if someone was staring at him.

In the evening, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Lao Tianyao, came to the door to question the teacher.

He said angrily: "` "Master Lin, it is said that you told Master Qian about the ranking of contribution?"

Lin Beifan said very calmly: "Yes! Mr. Qian came to the door with great sincerity. I can't turn him away right? Mr. Gao, you know that I can't refuse gold, silver and jewelry!"

Gao Tianyao said angrily again: "But, I have confronted him, why did you say something different?"

Lin Beifan remained calm: "It can only be said that this contribution rate is changing dynamically, so it is naturally different. I hope Master Gao understands!"

Gao Tianyao became even angrier: "Nonsense! The time difference between the two of us is only one cup of tea. Has this changed?"

Lin Beifan: "..."

"Master Lin, don't fool me! Just tell me, how much do you want to give us the cement distribution rights to our Gao family? Just buy it now, don't be silly!" Gao Tianyao said impatiently .

Lin Beifan raised three fingers: "Two million taels!"
