Long Lin got up and nodded.

"Let's do it now."

Fang Pu turned around respectfully and left immediately.

After coming to the door, Fang Pu's face was full of surprise.

He didn't expect that His Highness actually wanted to repair those schools, and that His Highness raised money in just a few days.

But the 5 taels of silver alone is obviously not enough, so why would His Highness say that there is not much money left?

Although he couldn't figure it out, Fang Puke didn't hesitate at all. He immediately summoned some people from the Ministry of Rites and started to do things according to His Highness's instructions.

Long Lin got up and walked towards the Ministry of Industry.

After arriving at the Ministry of Industry, he walked directly inside.

The guards outside the door did not stop him at all, and looked very respectful.

When he came to Situ Heng's door, Long Lin knocked on the door and walked in.

Situ Heng was sitting at the head of the Ministry of Industry, flipping through some documents in his hands.

"Your Highness, you are here. Regarding the renovation of the school, I have asked my subordinates to contact the craftsman who built the house."

"In the Ministry of Industry, there are also many craftsmen who build houses. If the emperor has nothing to repair, I will ask them to contribute to His Highness."

"I roughly summed it up. Maybe we can build it all within one year with 10 taels."

Long Lin nodded, basically the same as what he thought.

"Lord Situ, the 5 taels from the household department have been delivered. In addition, I have raised another 6 taels of silver."

"As for the silver issue, that's enough for now. Arrange to start as soon as possible. This repair is very important, and I want to follow it all the way."

"There are hundreds of guards in my mansion. I will bring them along to speed up the repair of the school."

When Situ Heng heard this, he immediately showed shock.

He couldn't believe that Long Lin was able to raise 6 taels of silver.

This is not a small amount, just a few days, it is really scary.

After thinking about it, Situ Heng thought of a place, Lei Mansion.

I am afraid that only the Lei Mansion can give Long Lin so much money at one time. If it were him, it would be more than enough.

"Your Highness, please rest assured that the Ministry of Industry has no repair work recently. I will accompany Your Highness. With me here, the progress of the repair will definitely be accelerated again."

"Okay, Master Situ, tell me that you have made the arrangements and send some people to take the silver from the Ministry of Rites. Don't treat the working people badly, so that they can get the silver on time to make ends meet."

"Your Highness, please rest assured that the minister will spend all these silver taels on craftsmen and materials, and will never spend them recklessly."

"Lord Situ is serious. If I can't even trust you, then I really don't know who I can trust."

When Situ Heng heard this, he immediately smiled happily.

Seeing Situ Heng smiling, Long Lin also smiled.

Hahaha......

Chapter 158 Red Official Uniform

Situ Heng arranged manpower and went to collect the silver with Long Lin.

Since it is necessary to start repairing as soon as possible, a lot of materials are needed. The transportation of these things and the preparation of some materials all need money.

Situ Heng was not too polite, and he was very grateful for His Highness's trust in him.

He doesn't worry about building these new houses at all. If he saves a little money, the money now is completely enough.

The only ones who are worried are his own three sons.

He has been hiding in the Ministry of Industry for a long time, and he knows the situation of his three sons very well.

In order for them to make some changes, going on an envoy seems to him the best way.

If he couldn't bear it, judging from the situation of these three people, it was very likely that they would go astray in the future.

Even if they don't go astray, the entire Situ family may be buried in the hands of the three of them.

Long Lin left Situ Heng and returned to the Ministry of Rites.

Fang Pu was not there, so he must have taken his staff to do what he ordered.

Sitting alone in the hut, Long Lin began to think again.

Repairing the school is just the first step. After repairing the school, that is what he will do.

After thinking about it, Long Lin thought a lot by himself. Although he didn't have a clear direction, in general, Long Lin had his own ideas.

After a long time, Long Lin left the Ministry of Rites alone. Fang Yuan had been preparing for a long time, and it was time to take a look.

After thinking about it, Fangyuan should be in his mansion.

Leaving the palace, boarded the sedan chair, and went straight to Fangyuan Mansion.

As soon as Long Lin got off the sedan chair, the servant at the door immediately stepped forward respectfully, leading Long Lin all the way into the mansion.

In the surrounding courtyard, a lot of things have been piled up, many people are busy, Long Lin is very satisfied.

Fang Yuan was counting things in the courtyard. When Long Lin came behind him, Fang Yuan discovered Long Lin's arrival.

"Your Highness, you are here, please come and sit with me in the room."

"No hurry, Mr. Fang, let me take a look, how are your preparations going?"

When Fang Yuan heard this, he showed a wry smile. During this period of time, he has been very busy. He was the one who prepared everything.

"Your Highness, it's almost done. The urgent shipments from various places have arrived. Your Highness, please take a look."

Long Lin looked in front of him, and there were boxes of things piled up everywhere.

In the box, there were exquisite porcelains. Long Lin took one out and kept playing with it in his hand.

This is a blue-colored porcelain pot with a very graceful shape. On the porcelain body, there is a carved bird looking up at the magnificent.

The body of the porcelain pot is as smooth as a mirror, and under the sunlight, it reflects gorgeous light.

This is a good thing. In the previous life, it would be some antiques.

Putting the porcelain pot in, Long Lin began to look at it. There were a lot of porcelain, and inside the box, they were all wrapped with hay bedding.

There is no foam here, and laying hay is the best way. During transportation, as long as there is no violent bumping, the porcelain can be well protected.

Looking all the way, there are hundreds of boxes of porcelain piled up here alone.

"Your Highness, please look, these are the prepared tea leaves. There are many varieties and dozens of tea leaves."

Long Lin nodded and looked over one by one.

Picking up a handful, Long Lin smelled it, it was very fragrant, this is a good thing.

Long Lin took a look at the tea leaves placed here, and found that there were hundreds of boxes of the same tea leaves, indeed a large quantity.

Bypassing the tea leaves, there are exquisite silk garments in the front box. Long Lin picked up a few pieces and touched them with his hands. The texture is very good.

The shape of the costumes is very graceful. It is obvious that these costumes are carefully selected.

In the era of the Dragon Dynasty, these costumes were the best products in the world, and it was the best to trade them for things.

"Master Fang, is this the only thing you have prepared?"

"Your Highness, in order to exchange for more things, I have prepared far more supplies than this."

"300 boxes of porcelain, [-] boxes of tea, and more than [-] boxes of silk clothing. These are carefully selected items, and the cost is still acceptable."

Long Lin nodded. For thousands of boxes of supplies, if a carriage pulls ten boxes, at least hundreds of carriages are needed.

To go on a mission, food and drinking water must be carried, and the number of carriages must be more than this.

It sounds like a lot, but to the imperial court, this should be nothing.

"Is the carriage ready? How many guards are there on this trip?"

"Your Highness, the carriage is ready. The guards are tentatively scheduled to be 1 people, including grooms on foot, etc. The number of people will not be too many."

"I asked someone to make a special flag for missions, and hold the flag on the road ahead to avoid unnecessary trouble."

"With the protection of the guards, it should be much safer."

Long Lin nodded, he was indeed very thoughtful.

"Master Fang, have you finished making your special official uniform?"

"The production has been completed, Your Highness, please follow me."

All the way to the living room, Fang Yuan asked someone to take out the official uniform.

Long Lin looked at the official uniform and was surprised that it turned out to be a crimson dress.

On the red official uniform, embroidered with a soaring three-clawed black dragon.

Long Lin touched it, and found that the texture was very good, and the overall shape of the clothing looked very domineering.

"Lord Fang, why does this dragon have three claws? Why is the official uniform red?"

"Your Highness, the official uniform is red, which is the meaning of the emperor. Such an official uniform should be more intimidating when viewed from a distance."

"And this three-clawed dragon is what I mean, so it can avoid suspicion very well."

Long Lin nodded, Master Fang was very thoughtful.

"Master Fang, since the preparations are almost done, have you confirmed the date of the mission?"

"This is a big event for Long Chao. We must choose a very good and auspicious day."

Master Fang smiled.

"Your Highness, the Ministry of Rites calculates that three days later will be an auspicious day, so I decided that I will lead a team to go out in the morning after three days."

"Okay, okay, Mr. Fang, how much silver did you spend on this mission?"

Fang Yuan had planned for a long time, and he was very clear in his heart.

"Your Highness, many of the supplies you carry are from the imperial court, such as tea and some exquisite porcelain. Only some of the clothing is purchased from the private sector."

"The cost this time is not much. Even if everything is calculated, I think it is only about 2 taels."

"Of course, some things are tributes from various places every year, and the value is completely incalculable, but these things come from various places in our Dragon Dynasty, and the cost of some costs must not be too high."

Long Lin nodded. Porcelain is a craft, and there is no clear price for this thing.

Items have a price, but craftsmanship is priceless.

Chapter 159 Farewell to Fangyuan

Fang Yuan asked his servants to serve tea, and Long Lin picked it up and took a sip.

"Master Fang, how much is this teacup in my hand worth?"

Fang Yuan looked towards the teacup, showing a wry smile.

A teacup is not a boutique, how much is it worth?

"Your Highness, this teacup is not top-grade, at best it is only a few taels of silver."

Long Lin nodded, he did not deny that a teacup of this quality is indeed only a few taels of silver.

Even if it is a high-quality boutique teacup, it is only a few dozen taels.

But what Long Lin wanted to express was not what he meant.

"Lord Fang, this teacup may be worth as much as ten thousand taels in the eyes of foreign rich and nobles."

"But in the eyes of poor civilians, this thing may be worthless."

When Fang Yuan heard it, he was stunned for a moment, and he understood the meaning in an instant.

"Your Highness, I understand, I have already made arrangements."

"The things carried on this mission are divided into three grades, high-grade, medium-grade, and low-grade."

"Different materials have completely different prices when they are exchanged."
