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

"Two million taels, why don't you die?" Gao Tianyao was furious.

Lin Beifan said aggrievedly, "You made me buy it!"

Gao Tianyao jumped up angrily: "I asked you to ask for a price, but I didn't ask you to ask for it! Two million taels, I don't know if I can earn it back! Can you be more reasonable?"

"Okay, 100 million taels! As long as the money arrives in the account, one of the 10 distribution rights will definitely be from the Gao family!" Lin Beifan said in pain, as if he had lost a large sum of money.

100 million taels, Gao Tianyao still thinks it's too high!

However, if you can lock in a distribution right in advance, and don't have to continue to contribute endlessly, it will be worth it!

Gao Tianyao gritted his teeth: "Okay! It's a deal!"

The two reconciled again and talked happily over wine.

While drinking, Gao Tianyao tentatively asked: "Master Lin, as well as Xincheng's tax policy, can we also share it with our Gao family? Don't worry, the benefits are indispensable to you!"

Lin Beifan was shocked: "Master Gao, are you too greedy? In addition to the distribution rights of cement, you actually want to get preferential tax policies for the new factory?"

Gao Tianyao was a little embarrassed.

Just about to explain a few sentences, Lin Beifan raised 5 fingers: "Yes, add 50 taels!"

Gao Tianyao: "Damn!"

Who is more greedy?

After getting Lin Beifan's promise, Gao Tianyao immediately went back to raise money!

Looking at the figure of the other party leaving, Lin Beifan smiled.

In fact, Gao's contribution has reached the top three, which can basically be said to be stable!

But is there any reason not to scoop up the lamb delivered to your door?

Next, the Minister of Hubu came to ask the crime, the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment came to ask the crime, and the Minister of the Ministry of Rites came to ask the crime... So...

Lin Beifan followed the same pattern and took out 150 million taels from several other aristocratic families, totaling 1500 million taels. They made them pay more and thank Dade!

If you know, do you know if you will vomit blood? .

Chapter 229 The king of Jibei finally turned himself over and became the master!

In addition to these aristocratic families, there were also many merchant families and famous families who came to Lin Beifan.Although I can't get the distribution rights of cement, I also hope to rank higher and get more tax incentives.

In this way, Lin Beifan received another 500 million taels.

Therefore, through this construction of the city, Lin Beifan received a total of 2500 million taels.

"Another big fortune, haha!" Lin Beifan was very happy, feeling that the hard work of these days was not in vain.

Now that you've collected the money, do your job well!

Lin Beifan successively announced the families who obtained the cement distribution rights and the families who obtained the tax relief policy.And solemnly stated that as soon as the city is established, all rights will be opened up immediately, and they will be supported in setting up factories and doing business.

In this way, the matter was a foregone conclusion, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

And this matter quickly spread all over the world, and shocked the world!

At the beginning, when the court received millions of disaster victims, many forces were waiting to see the joke!

You know, these millions of disaster victims have no house, no land, no food, no money. It can be said that they have nothing, but they have to consume food and supplies every day, which is an unimaginable burden for the court!

If it continues to be raised, it will definitely bring down the court!

If you don't raise it, it will cause people's hearts to scatter, and it will deal a huge blow to the court's reputation!

They waited until the imperial court couldn't hold on, and raised up their uprising!

But it never occurred to him that in less than a month, he was actually revived by Lin Beifan!

Through the magical invention of cement, a new city was built outside the capital, which solved the resettlement problem of the victims.

Through the contribution system, all famous families and merchants from all walks of life were attracted to donate money and materials.

It not only solves the most urgent problem of food and winter for the victims, but also solves a series of subsequent problems such as food, clothing, housing and transportation, and completely activates this new city!

The most frightening thing is that they can actually feed back the imperial court and make the imperial court rich.

This is really...

Turn decay into magic! ! !

While everyone admired Lin Beifan more, they also became more curious about cement.

Is this really an artifact for building houses, so everyone flocks to it?

If yes, can I have it myself?

As a result, experts were dispatched to investigate.

In the end, as Lin Beifan expected, cement has no technical barriers at all, and many people know how to do it just by looking at it.Take some samples and go back to tinkering, and you can make cement.

The land of northern Hebei, the palace.

The King of Jibei looked at Mr. Zhuge, the military adviser who rushed in excitedly, and asked anxiously: "Military Master, how is the situation, is it true?"

"If you go back to the prince, the subordinates have already sent someone to look at it, and the situation is completely true!"

Mr. Zhuge said excitedly: "Zhuangyuan Lang really built thousands of houses in just a few days with the help of cement, a heaven-defying invention! Attracted to donate money and materials, and solved the food, clothing, housing and transportation problems of millions of victims! It also made the court... a lot richer!"

King Jibei was short of breath: "The cement...is it really so magical?"

"It's absolutely true, my lord!" Mr. Zhuge's face was very serious.

King Jibei became even more anxious: "Then hurry up and contact Lin Jun and get the cement production method over!"

After thinking about it, he gritted his teeth and said, "Give him whatever he wants!"

Mr. Zhuge smiled lightly: "My lord, there is no need, because the method of making cement has been taken back by my subordinates!"

"Really?" King Jibei's eyes widened, and he couldn't believe it.

"How dare you lie to the lord?" Mr. Zhuge said with a smile, "Because the method of making cement is very simple, the people sent by the subordinates can learn it at a glance! So lord, this time we don't need to contact the champion man, and we don't need to pay for it." , you can make cement yourself!"

"Really? That's great! Haha!" King Jibei was overjoyed.

In the laughter, I don't know how much sadness and pain are hidden!

You know, how much did he pay for the two inventions in Lin Beifan's hands?

Not only the palace has become poorer, but the economy of the whole northern Hebei has been depressed!

And now, you're telling me I don't have to pay?

Can you make cement yourself?

God, I can't imagine it at all!

The King of Jibei seemed to have broken free from the cage, he no longer needed to be exploited or oppressed, and he felt like turning over to be his master!

"Hahahaha!!!" Cheerful laughter spread throughout the palace.

Even Mr. Zhuge, the military adviser, secretly wiped away his tears, weeping with joy.

After laughing, King Jibei's mind became active.

Since Lin Beifan can raise supplies and amass money by selling cement, can he do it himself?

You know, he is very poor now and desperately needs food and money!

So, I immediately expressed my thoughts.

"My lord, this subordinate feels that there is a lot to do!"

Mr. Zhuge smiled and said: "We can follow the example of Zhuangyuan Lang and introduce a contribution system! As long as whoever contributes enough food and materials, we will give him the right to sell cement! In this way, we can not only raise enough materials , and continue to earn money, which is beneficial to our great cause!"

"Not bad, not bad, not bad!" Wang Ye smiled.

"And my lord, now is a golden opportunity!" Mr. Zhuge said excitedly: "On the side of Zhuangyuanlang, a new city needs to be built to sell cement, and it will take two or three months, but we can produce cement now! That's it! As soon as we come, we can seize the opportunity and snatch the merchants over!"

"That's right, that's very reasonable, let's snatch him over now!" The prince smiled even more happily.

"In addition to cement, Zhuangyuan Lang has also introduced a series of preferential tax policies, which are said to have received a good response from businessmen! My lord, can we also..."

The prince frowned: "Cut tax for merchants? Isn't this equivalent to sending money out? It's too late for me to collect more taxes, so forget about this policy!"

"Yes, my lord!" Mr. Zhuge nodded.

His thoughts are the same as the prince's. This preferential tax policy is purely sending money out, and it is completely unnecessary.

With cement, the magic tool for building houses, are you afraid that you won't be able to attract businessmen?

At this moment, the two of them seemed to have seen food and money flying towards them, and they couldn't help but smile at each other.

"Military division, I'll leave it to you next time!"

"Don't worry, my lord!"

Then, Mr. Zhuge rushed to deal with the matter.

Announced to the outside world that they can also produce cement, and now they are attracting investment, hoping that those who are interested will come to invest.

It made a huge momentum, as if it was going to fight the imperial court!

Also, Wuxi Wang, Jiangnan Wang and others were not reconciled to others, and announced to the outside world that they could also produce cement, and hoped that all wealthy businessmen would invest in it, and they were very welcome.

There are other princes, too!

There seems to be a cement fever in the whole Dawu!

During the early court, the empress called all officials to discuss countermeasures.

Only Lin Beifan remained calm: "Your Majesty, don't take this matter to heart!"

The empress was taken aback: "Aiqing, why do you say that?"

"I said earlier that the method of making cement is not difficult, and they will be able to steal it sooner or later! However, it is not so easy to make money from cement, and they have no such conditions at all!" Lin Beifan smiled proudly.

"Aiqing, don't be tricky, can you tell me in detail!" the Empress urged.

"Okay, Your Majesty!" Lin Beifan said with his head held high and Zhizhu in his hands: "First, to make cement, you must have clay, limestone, and iron slag. All three are indispensable! Clay and limestone are easy to obtain. But iron ore slag will not work!"

"You know, iron ore is in the hands of our imperial court, and private mining is prohibited! And iron ore slag is the waste left over after blacksmithing! Therefore, in the whole world, only our imperial court has a large amount of iron ore slag, and other domains Wang didn't have this condition at all, so their production was restricted!"

Everyone nodded, and the empress said: "Aiqing, keep talking!"

"Second, even if they find these three items, the production cost is a factor that cannot be ignored!"

Lin Beifan smiled triumphantly: "Weichen's cement workshop can get a lot of limestone within five miles to the south. It can get a lot of high-quality clay within three miles to the west. It can get iron ore within seven miles to the north. Slag. Moreover, there are rivers running through the road, which can be transported by water, saving time and effort. In this way, the production cost is naturally greatly reduced!"

"But where can the princes find such favorable geographical conditions? Therefore, the cost of the cement they produce must be much higher than ours. How can they compete with us?"

The Empress smiled: "Ai Qing is right, is there any more?"

"Third, their market is not good!"

Lin Beifan talked eloquently: "Cement is mainly used to build houses. Only by selling the houses can you make money! This house is considered a luxury after all. Only rich people can afford cement houses! In other words, as long as Only when the people are rich can they afford a house!"

"However, let's take a look at the land in northern Hebei. After experiencing the previous plague of horse bandits, many people ran away and the economy was depressed. Who can sell the house to?"

"Let's look at the land in the south of the Yangtze River. Although it is relatively rich there, there was a flood and there was a big problem in the food supply! Even the problem of food has not been solved, how can everyone care about living?"

"The land of Wuxi, you don't need to look at it at all! All along, the king of Wuxi has been aggressive and robbed everything he can! The merchants have no time to protect themselves, so how dare they run to do business?"

"As for other places, the market is too small to support it at all! Merchants want to make money, who will do business that doesn't make money?"

"Only our imperial court can support the huge cement market!"

"The capital city is right next to it, where the richest people in the country gather! If you are rich, you are most willing to spend money on houses. The cement market is no problem at all!"

"Moreover, for more than a year, the territory ruled by our imperial court has been considered to be in good weather. There has been no war. The people are resting and recuperating. They have spare money in their hands. Naturally, they are willing to spend money on houses!"

Lin Beifan opened his arms and said excitedly: "This is the biggest advantage of our imperial court! We have the most extensive market, they don't!"

The Empress clapped her hands and applauded: "Well said! You are absolutely right!".

Chapter 230 They have no choice but to choose me, Dawu!

"Fourth, under the current situation, the major businessmen can only choose me, Dawu!"
