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

"I object!"

Qian Yuanshen, the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue, stood up and said loudly:"Your Majesty, the funds required by Lin Siye are too large. Once allocated, it will inevitably affect the balance of payments of the national treasury, have far-reaching consequences, and even shake the foundation of the country. disagree!

Lin Beifan was very calm:"Master Qian, the funds required are indeed large enough!" However, if hybrid rice with increased yields is developed, it can solve the feeding problem of tens of millions of people! It can make people live and work in peace and contentment, make the Dawu regime more stable, and its merits will be of great benefit to the present generation! In comparison, 10 million taels of research funding is not much!"

Qian Yuanshen is so embarrassed.

10 million is not much, and you have the nerve to say it?

Did you fuck the Ministry of Industry from top to bottom before and develop your appetite?"

"If you spend 10 million taels, you can develop hybrid rice that increases yield and solve the feeding problem of tens of millions of people, it is indeed very worthwhile! But what if it fails? If it fails, the 10 million taels will be wasted! Mr. Lin, can you bear this responsibility? Qian Yuan shouted deeply.

Lin Beifan was very calm:"Master Qian, what you said is serious!" You said before that you couldn't develop a flying balloon, don't you think you can do it now? So hybrid rice is not hopeless!"

"Before was before, now is now!"

Qian Yuanshen said excitedly:"Lin Siye, you can develop a flying artifact, a large balloon, realize the dream of flying, and enhance national strength. I and the people across the country are grateful for your contribution!"

"However, flying artifacts and hybrid rice are not the same thing at all! Throughout the ages, I don’t know how many sages have studied food issues, but how many have been successful? No, not one! Can you guarantee that you will succeed?"

"Of course I can! Lin Beifan said confidently:"I dare to issue a military order. If hybrid rice with increased yield cannot be developed within two years, all the funds spent will be returned to the national treasury, with interest!""

"Lin Siye, even if you have the will and strength, our treasury does not have so much money! All silver taels from the national treasury have been arranged in advance, and there is simply no way to squeeze out 10 million taels! So Wei Chen……"

Qian Yuanshen clasped his hands to the empress:"I oppose Lin Siye's proposal!"

Gao Tianyao, the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, stood up:"I also object!"

Wang Rushui, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, also stood up:"I also oppose it!"

……

All other officials also stood up, and no one agreed.

The empress didn't agree with it either, 10 million was really too much!

10 million is already 1/10 of the national treasury money. It can be used to build a huge project or even launch a war worth millions. It really should not be used lightly.

If you apply for one or two million, she will reluctantly agree.

But 10 million is unacceptable!

"Lin Aiqing, you want too much, can you ask for less?"

"Oh well! Wei Chen also understands the difficulties of His Majesty and the officials, so Wei Chen wants 5 million first! You can pay the remaining 5 million next year! Lin Beifan said eagerly.

Everyone was so angry that they were so angry! How different is this from asking for 10 million directly? Do you still understand our difficulties?

If you were really considerate, you wouldn't make such a request!

What a bitch!

The empress said angrily:"What I mean is that you only need one or two million, but 10 million is really not enough!"

"But if it’s less than 10 million, it really can’t be studied!"Lin Beifan feels very aggrieved.

I am ready to produce hybrid rice that will benefit the country and the people!

With this super rice, we can immediately solve the problem of feeding tens of millions more people. This is something that no amount of money can buy. It is beneficial to the country." A great thing that benefits the people!

Just give me one or two million, is that appropriate?

You can't bully honest people!

Seeing Lin Beifan's aggrieved expression, the empress was speechless, and the officials were speechless!

It seemed like they were suffering a lot!

Is making less money a loss?

The empress was very tired:"The treasury really doesn't have that much money! Hybrid rice can be put away temporarily and take your time! You should study other things first, such as that giant steel ship that can float on the water! Lin

Beifan nodded:"That's okay, but I'll apply for 5 million in funding!""

Empress:"Damn it!

Baiguan:"Damn it!""

Everyone glared at Lin Beifan angrily!

5 million, you really dare to ask for it!

"Lin Siye, you developed the previous flying artifact, the giant balloon, with only 2 million yuan! Why do you have to spend 5 million to build a giant steel ship?"Wang Rushui, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, looked twitching.

Even when I was the most greedy, I would not dare to speak like you!

"Mr. Wang, you don’t know something! Lin Beifan smiled and said:"The flying artifact, the big balloon, is actually very easy to make!" Like before, it only took us less than a month to produce 20 large balloons. The difficulty mainly lies in research and development!"

"However, the giant steel ship is different!"

"First of all, if you want to build a giant steel ship, you need a lot of steel! As we all know, steel is a very valuable item! If I want to build a ship, I first need to buy a lot of steel, which requires a lot of money! Building a giant ship out of steel takes a lot of manpower, and it also requires a lot of money!"

"Therefore, building a giant steel ship costs more than a large balloon, a flying artifact, and it costs less than 5 million!"

Everyone couldn't help but nodded. It seemed reasonable.

But they still felt that the other party had bad intentions.

The empress looked at the expressions of the officials and said in her heart: You don't have to doubt that he has bad intentions!

The last time 200 With a research fund of 10,000,000 yuan, he could steal 1.99 million.

This time, with 5 million in funding, he could steal at least 4.9 million.

You old foxes, compared to him, are a little greener.

Qian Yuanshen, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, hummed. He made a sound, ignored Lin Beifan, and said directly to the empress:"Your Majesty, 5 million is still too much, there is simply not so much money in the treasury, your Majesty, please take a closer look!"

"Mr. Qian, how much do you think we can ask for? The lower official can deduct a little at his discretion! Lin Beifan said

"The maximum is 2 million, no more!"Qian Yuanshen hummed.

Lin Beifan sighed slightly disappointedly:"Okay, 2 million is 2 million! Although there is a little less money, Xiaguan can barely develop a water weapon!"

Qian Yuanshen immediately regretted it, feeling that he had given too much!

This little fox!

"Lin Siye, don’t be too happy too early! Qian Yuanshen snorted:"

I'll start with the ugly words. You used money from the national treasury, and the treasury involves the country's capital, so there is no room for loss!" If you spend this money but can't research anything, what's the crime?"

"Then let’s limit it to three months!"Lin Beifan said loudly:"If I can't figure it out within three months, then 2 million will be returned to the national treasury!"

"good! It’s a deal! Please ask your Majesty and all officials to testify together!"Qian Yuanshen said with his hands together.

In this way, Lin Beifan took out 2 million from the treasury.

Although it is a little less, no matter how little it is, it is still money.

He wants to move up a level now and needs too much money, so he can only Continuously open source.

Because he previously developed the flying artifact giant balloon, Lin Beifan, who received new research funding, has attracted special attention.

Everyone wants to see what shocking things he can develop.

However, it is surprising What's interesting is that Lin Beifan is living a very happy life when he should be eating and playing, and he doesn't seem to take this matter to heart.

In the capital, there is also peace and harmony.

But outside the capital, chaos breaks out.

Among them, in A big event happened in the land of Jiangdong.

A demon sect named Tianyi Sect suddenly appeared to make trouble and confuse everyone. In a short period of time, tens of thousands of people actually gathered to revolt. It seemed that there was The power of a prairie fire threatened the imperial government.

At the court meeting, the empress was very angry.

"A demon cult appeared out of nowhere and dared to threaten me! Now, all my uncles are watching a joke. If it is not put out in time, it will inevitably cause political instability! Dear friends, do you have any good advice?"

"Your Majesty, all we need to do is send troops to exterminate these evil cults!"

An old general stood up, clasped his hands and said:"Please give me an army of 100,000, and I will be able to defeat the Tianyi Sect and capture all the demons! The little demon sect is nothing to worry about!"

"Your Majesty, this plan is absolutely impossible!"A small official was frightened.

He came from Jiangdong and came here to report the matter.

"Why not? asked the empress

"Because, the leader of Tianyi Sect is called the Holy Mother of Mercy of Tianyi, who has the heart to save all sentient beings! They are especially able to confuse all living beings and keep coercing people to do things for them! The common people are ignorant and let them do whatever they want!"

"Once a conflict breaks out, the first people to be injured are the people. This kind of thing doesn't happen just once or twice!"

The little official wiped the cold sweat from his face:"If we send troops to suppress it, there will inevitably be a huge bloody conflict with heavy casualties! Moreover, they are all masters, and they have already escaped long ago when they discovered something was wrong!"

"Therefore, Your Majesty, this plan is absolutely unacceptable! Everyone was shocked:"

So that's it!" What a poisonous heart! The empress also had a headache:"

Dear ladies, do you have any proper solutions?""

However, this situation is very difficult and no one dares to speak

"Can experts be sent to behead members of the Tianyi Sect?"An old minister suggested

"This is a way, but it is also very difficult!"The same little official said:"The opponent has several innate masters, so we must send more than 10 innates and fight quickly! Otherwise, once they want to escape, there will be no way to stop them! I am afraid that they will break into the people. This……"

Everyone nodded gravely.

The lethality of an innate master is too great!

With a wave of your hand, you can harvest dozens or even hundreds of lives!

The human sea tactic is useless in front of them!

Everyone is thinking about solutions, including the empress.

As a result, after looking around the officials, I found a staggering, sleepy person who was very angry.

Good on you bastard!

Everyone is sharing my worries, but you are the only one taking advantage of me!

Don't you have the opportunity to be greedy for money, so you can't share my worries?

Can you not be so realistic?

So, the empress called out:"Lin Aiqing, do you have any good ideas?"
