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

The person in front of me is Wang Fugui, a close aide of King Jiangnan.

He had previously contacted Lin Beifan on behalf of King Jiangnan and spent 5 million taels of silver to obtain the manufacturing method of the defective large balloon from him.

At this time, the other party trotted over with a big belly.

With a flattering smile on his face, he nodded and bowed and said:"Of course it's Mr. Lin who is so popular! Look at my mouth... I should say it's Master Jijiu! Congratulations, Sir, on your promotion. I'm less than 20 years old, Jijiu. This is the first time in history. It will definitely leave a name in the history of the Qing Dynasty and be famous forever!"

Lin Beifan laughed loudly:"Boss Wang, you really know how to speak! If you can speak, please speak more. I am all ears!"

"Well done! Since I like Jijiu, I’ll just say a few more words! Wang Fugui was all smiles:"However, to congratulate you on your promotion and becoming a famous figure in history!" The little one has prepared a sumptuous banquet. I wonder if the adults can enjoy it?"

"my pleasure! Lin Beifan smiled.

The two came to a luxurious restaurant.

This restaurant had been booked by Wang Fugui to serve the two of them.

There were all kinds of rare delicacies on the table, as well as the best wine, which made Lin Beifan very satisfied.

Wang Fugui also arranged a performance by a singer. I heard that she was specially invited from Jiangnan, and it was very pleasing to the eye.

During the meal and drinking process, Wang Fugui frequently toasted and flattered her. I have to say that the other party is indeed doing business. Yes, this mouth is so sweet that it makes Lin Beifan's mouth float.

Lin Beifan enjoyed this meal very happily.

This is the day that corrupt officials should enjoy!

In this way, after three rounds of wine, the food is more than five flavors.

Wang Fugui finally drank everyone away, then picked up the wine glass and sat close to Lin Beifan, saying with a smile on his face:"Mr. Lin, are you satisfied with this meal?"

"Very satisfied, thank you Boss Wang for the hospitality! Lin Beifan held the wine and said with a smile:"Boss Wang, why are you here this time?" Now you can say it! The other party sat a little closer and said in a low voice:"You must have guessed the reason for your visit, Lord Jijiu!" This little trip is for the imperial court’s water weapon, the hovercraft! Wang

Fugui further elaborated:"A few days ago, Lin Jijiu, you invented the second national artifact, the hovercraft!" I heard that this ship is cheap and simple to build, but it can carry a large amount of food and troops, which greatly enhances the strength of the imperial navy! The prince was very happy after hearing this, and I hope you can hand over the method of making the hovercraft! Your Majesty must be richly rewarded! Lin

Beifan was holding a wine glass while tasting the wine, and said in a very embarrassed tone:"Boss Wang, it's an honor for me to serve the prince!" However, the matter you are talking about is a matter of beheading! You know, the leak of the flying artifact, the giant balloon, has caused the imperial court to be furious and killed a group of people.……"

He repeated the words he used to fool Mo Rushuang and the two of them, as well as King Ji Bei behind them.

Finally, he shook his head resolutely:"So, this matter must not be done, please ask someone else to do it!"

Wang Fugui smiled bitterly:"I also know that this matter is very difficult for you, sir! But the prince has repeatedly ordered that the hovercraft must be removed." Get the manufacturing method! If I can’t get it back, I’ll lose my head, so please bear with me, Mr. Lin! You can rest assured that when it’s done, the benefits will definitely be yours!" At this time,

Lin Beifan finally relaxed:"I also know the difficulties you and the prince are in! Let me give you a number. If you are satisfied, I will give you the method of making the hovercraft!"

"Mr. Lin, just speak up! Wang Fugui said.

Lin Beifan stretched out five fingers:"5 million taels!" As long as you can give me 5 million taels, I will give you the method of manufacturing the hovercraft!"

"What? 5 million taels! Wang Fugui's eyes widened in shock:"

Master Lin, this is too much!" You know, the manufacturing method of the flying artifact giant balloon only costs 5 million taels! A hovercraft is just a boat after all, but you asked for 5 million taels. You... you are too difficult to deal with. The prince will not agree!"

"It's fine if I don't agree, I'm afraid I won't have the money to spend it!" Lin Beifan said happily.

Wang Fugui finally noticed that the other party was deliberately refusing his and the prince's request.

"Mr. Lin, can it be less? What do you think of 3 million?

Lin Beifan shook his head without hesitation:"Don't think about it!" I'm really going to lose my head this time, I won't do it even if I lose a penny! Wang Fugui became entangled:"

Mr. Lin, please give me some time to discuss with the prince!""

"Of course, please do it!"

After the banquet, Wang Fugui went back in a hurry.

Then, no one was seen for two days.

Until the third day, Wang Fugui came over with a tired face.

"Mr. Lin, do you think 4 million is okay? Lin

Beifan flatly refused:"It's still 5 million. I won't do anything less than this amount!""

After that, Wang Fugui was not seen for a long time.

During this period, Lin Beifan secretly contacted other princes and secret representatives of other countries.

Because Lin Beifan asked for a high price, which was no less than that of making a large balloon, many No one has agreed yet and has been hesitating.

Lin Beifan is not in a hurry. This family alone has no semicolon. Sooner or later, they will be able to take out their money.

And this matter, through Bai Guanyin's mouth, reached the ears of the empress.

The empress was numb:"This guy has betrayed the country again! I now suspect that he created the hovercraft just to steal money from them!"

"No doubt about it, it is! Bai Guanyin held back her laughter and said,"Making a hovercraft requires large balloon airbags!" However, their airbag manufacturing method is problematic. It is not durable and prone to water and air leakage! Therefore, even if they create it, they won’t be able to use it!"

"That's great! The empress couldn't help but laugh:"In that case, I will help Lin Aiqing!""

On the morning of the second day, the empress announced in public that she was going to use the new national artifact hovercraft to conduct a military exercise on the river to show off our country's prestige!

Another day later, the empress, together with officials and people, came to the river outside the city.

The empress ordered people to push the hovercraft that had been made into the river.

Then the boats were chained together to form a huge piece of land on the water.

Then, she ordered the soldiers to stand on it one by one. That day , this piece of land on the water made up of hovercrafts actually stood on It was filled with tens of thousands of people, and then floated steadily to the other side.

The whole process took less than half an hour!

This scene shocked everyone!

In less than half an hour, tens of thousands of soldiers could be transported to the other side!

If the hovercraft With a little more, wouldn't it be possible to transport more soldiers at the same time?

It can even transport more food, important materials, etc.!

It is indeed a powerful water-weapon hovercraft!

And those spies feel a huge threat!

This powerful water-weapon hovercraft is There are more threats on the battlefield than big balloons!

Although big balloons can fly into the sky, their carrying capacity is limited, and they can only carry two people at most. Even if you build 100 of them, they can only hold 200 people at most. What can

200 people do?

At most, we can investigate the enemy's situation and play sneak attacks. The strike capability is limited.

When the actual war begins, the competition will be military strength, transportation, and logistical support!

At this time, the hovercraft will give full play to its huge advantage!

It's absolutely possible. Iron-cable boats can be used to cross oceans and rivers, transporting large amounts of troops and supplies!

And there is no upper limit to the transportation capacity!

As many hovercrafts as you build, you can transport as many soldiers and supplies!

And I heard that hovercrafts are not expensive to build, and they are not easy to make. It's not complicated...

In this way, the imperial court's military strength has been significantly strengthened!

If a war breaks out, the imperial court has a greater chance of winning!

The urgent news was quickly passed back!

On the second day, Wang Fugui appeared in front of Lin Beifan again.

This time there was no hesitation:"Mr. Lin, the prince has already agreed. For 5 million taels, you can give me the manufacturing method of the hovercraft! Lin

Beifan shook his head:"5 million won't work, I want 6 million taels!""

Wang Fugui was confused:"Why do you still bring the price increase?"

"Can you blame me? It’s not you!

Wang Fugui was even more confused:"Blame us?"

Lin Beifan said angrily:"I sold you 5 million at a low price before, so you don't want it!" Well now, after yesterday's military exercise, everyone discovered the huge role of the hovercraft, and the court paid closer attention. What do you want me to do? I am also desperate!"

Wang Fugui panicked:"Mr. Lin, but we discussed it before……"

Lin Beifan became even more angry:"Who negotiated with you? I have always said 5 million, but you don't agree! Now it's 6 million. If you want to buy it or not, you will lose it if you don't!"

Wang Fugui's face was uncertain, and he finally gritted his teeth:" 6 million, buy it!"

Just like that, Lin Beifan made an extra million!

Then, Lin Beifan secretly met with other prince representatives and country representatives.

All prices have been raised without exception!

Depending on their respective financial capabilities, they will offer at least 500,000 yuan, and the most they can offer is 2 million yuan, and they will refuse to make counteroffers!

It’s a seller’s market now. You want to buy it or not, I’m just so willful!

Finally, they all gritted their teeth and accepted it!

In this round, Lin Beifan embezzled more than 40 million taels in total!

Earn more than the previous big balloon!

Bai Guanyin was numb when she saw this huge sum of money!

The empress was numb when she saw this huge sum of money!

The empress was surprised, happy and numb:"This guy is so greedy! In less than half a month, he has stolen more than 40 million yuan, which is almost equivalent to half of the national treasury!"

Bai Guanyin said expressionlessly"Actually, since he took office, the amount of money he has embezzled has been equivalent to a national treasury! I would like to regard him as the strongest when it comes to money corruption!" The empress nodded in agreement.

"But he has offended people so much and is the enemy of the whole world. He will never go anywhere in the future!

The empress' eyes became gentle and she smiled:"It's best to go nowhere!" In this way, he can stay in the capital and serve me! However, what I want to see most now is what the other princes will think when they find out that the manufacturing method they paid a huge price for cannot produce a qualified hovercraft."

"That must be very exciting!"Bai Guanyin smiled.
