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

Lin Beifan was very surprised!

Since he became an official in the dynasty, the first high-ranking official he offended was Gao Tianyao, the Minister of Civil Affairs. The two could be said to be political enemies, the kind who would never interact with each other until death!

Unexpectedly, one day, the other party would come looking for him!

"Dali, go and tell him to wait a moment and make a cup of tea. I'll be there in a minute!"

"Yes, Master!"

A moment later, Lin Beifan saw Gao Tianyao, the Minister of Civil Affairs, in the lobby. He cupped his hands and said with a smile:"Master Gao, what a rare visitor! I didn’t expect that you would come to my place as a guest! Ha ha!"

"Ahem……"Gao Tianyao, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, looked a little unnatural, and squeezed out a forced smile on his wrinkled face. He cupped his hands and said,"Master Lin, don't I go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing? There are some things I want to discuss in secret with you, Master Lin."! By the way, this is a little gift I brought, please accept it, Mr. Lin!" Lin Beifan looked over and found that Gao Tianyao had brought quite a lot of gifts.

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

For example, that calligraphy and painting was made by a master, and its market price has reached 6,000 taels.

Other things are of equal value.

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

"It turned out to be a gift from Master Gao, so I accepted it shamelessly! Dali, these are all good things, move them directly to my study! Lin Beifan smiled and said

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

Seeing that Lin Beifan didn't show off his face and kept his things, Gao Tianyao, the official secretary, secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

After that, Xiao Cui served tea and then shielded the left and right. Only Lin Beifan is left

"There is no one around now. Sir Gao, if you have anything to say, please say it directly. I am all ears!"

"Ahem, Mr. Lin, let me get straight to the point. This time, I am here on behalf of the Gao family in the Northern Territory!"

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

Lin Beifan smiled secretly, there are times when you beg me for help!

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

This family is very remarkable. In every dynasty, every generation has cultivated many outstanding scholars to enter the dynasty. As an official, they are very powerful.

When they are most powerful, 1/3 of the people in the court are their people, and they control the policy of a country. Even the emperor of the dynasty has to look at their faces to act. It's just that Later, with the implementation of the imperial examination system and the popularization of books, their status was greatly reduced.

However, their influence on the court was still huge.

Gao Tianyao, the most outstanding representative of their generation, became the second-rank minister of the court. The position can be regarded as high and powerful, Fuyin's entire family.

The development of any aristocratic family requires money.

At this time, Lin Beifan launched the artifact of cement. Who can remain indifferent?

Therefore, the Gao family of the Northern Territory was moved and encouraged Gao Tianyao comes over.

No matter how unwilling Gao Tianyao is, for the sake of the Gao family, he must come to give gifts to Lin Beifan and ask Lin Beifan to do something.

"Mr. Gao, this is a bit difficult to handle! Lin Beifan spread his hands and said helplessly:"It's written on the imperial list. Only the top ten contributors can get the cement distribution rights!" If I don't act according to the rules, it will be a deception. This is a matter of beheading and losing one's head. I can't afford it!"

Gao Tianyao rolled his eyes at Lin Beifan.

Have you done enough to deceive the emperor?

I don't even bother talking about you!

"Mr. Lin, I also know that this matter is difficult to handle! Therefore, I just hope that you will be accommodating within the rules, for example……"Gao Tianyao whispered:"Can you tell me where the Gao family's contribution currently ranks, who is in front of it, and how much their contribution is! In this way, I will be able to take care of it!" As he said that, he took out 100,000 from his pocket. Two silver notes.

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

Gao Tianyao twitched the corner of his mouth and took out two more banknotes, which was enough for 200,000 taels.

"Thank you, Mr. Gao! Lin Beifan smiled and stuffed the money into his arms:"A tall man is generous, and a lower official must not be stingy. Let me tell you now!" Lin

Beifan lowered his head and whispered:"Your Gao family's contribution is currently ranked 12th!" As for those ranked in front of the Gao family, they are...their contributions are……"

Gao Tianyao was shocked when he heard this:"I didn't expect those wealthy families to be so willing! Those merchant families who usually keep quiet can be so rich!"

Lin Beifan shook his head and sighed:"I don't have it either. Thinking about it, I can only say that there is a mountain higher than the mountain! If it weren't for the emergence of the magical weapon of cement, I might not be able to blow them out!"

"Thank you, Mr. Lin, for informing me. I will go back and prepare now!"Gao Tianyao hurriedly ran back.

Obviously, he wanted to increase his contribution points and break into the top 10.

Lin Beifan watched the other party's leaving figure and felt secretly happy.

In fact, the Gao family's contribution ranked third 8, the contribution is quite high.

But only a few people knew about this matter, and they were all given a silence order by Lin Beifan and could not tell it.

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

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

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

Lin Beifan smiled, and someone sent money again.

Behind Mr. Qian, the Minister of Household Affairs, there is actually the shadow of aristocratic families.

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

Otherwise, they It's not that easy to climb to high positions.

The aristocratic family helped them gain power, and now it's up to them to repay the favor!

"Please come quickly!"

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

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

Lin Beifan was good at dancing and accepted all the sugar-coated bullets..

The contribution of each party can be informed and let them brush up the contribution value, but don’t even think about the distribution rights.

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

In this way, Lin Beifan easily made 5 million taels.

After getting the contribution information from Lin Beifan, the major merchants and aristocratic families immediately prepared supplies and increased the contribution value after returning. After you sing, I will appear. , and there was an endless stream!

As a result, more and more materials were provided to support the construction of the new city!

How much? So much that Lin Beifan could feed the imperial court.

All the food that had been spent on disaster relief was actually replenished, with a little more. The rest!

As for other supplies, there is a lot more!

This matter shocked the court!

In the morning, the empress praised Lin Beifan excitedly:"Lin Aiqing, I am really right to leave this matter to you.! Not only did you successfully complete the material preparation work, but you also made our court rich! Well, great! Remember this merit for the time being, and I will discuss the merit together and reward you later!"

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

He thought to himself, not only is the court rich, but I am also rich!

But the next moment, Lin Beifan felt a chill on his back, as if he was being watched.

In the evening, Lao Tianyao, the Minister of Civil Affairs, came to ask questions..

He said angrily:"Mr. Lin, it is said that you told Mr. Qian the ranking of your contribution?

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

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

Beifan remained calm:"It can only be said that the contribution is dynamically changing from one moment to the next, so it is naturally different. I hope Mr. Gao understands!"

Gao Tianyao became even more angry:"Nonsense!" There is only one cup of tea between us, so this has changed?"

Lin Beifan:"……"

"Mr. Lin, please stop fooling me! Let me tell you directly, how much money do you want before you dare to give up the cement distribution rights to our Gao family? Just buy it at a fixed price, don’t worry! Gao Tianyao said impatiently.

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

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

Lin Beifan said aggrievedly:"You made me pay the price!" Gao

Tianyao jumped up angrily:"I asked you to raise the price, but I didn't ask you to drive yourself to death!" I don’t know if I can earn back 2 million taels! Can you be more reasonable?"

"Okay, 1 million taels! As long as the money arrives, one of the 10 dealerships will definitely have the Gao family! Lin Beifan said with pain, as if he had lost a lot of money.

Gao Tianyao still thinks that 1 million taels is too high!

However, if he can lock in a distribution right in advance and no longer have to contribute endless supplies, it will be worth it. Yes!

Gao Tianyao gritted his teeth:"Okay! It’s a deal! The two reconciled again and had a good chat over the wine. While drinking, Gao Tianyao asked tentatively:"Mr. Lin, as well as Xincheng's tax policy, can we share some of it with the Gao family?" Don’t worry, the benefits will be yours! Lin Beifan's face was full of shock:"

Master Gao, are you too greedy?" In addition to the cement distribution rights, you also want to get tax incentives for the new factory?"

Gao Tianyao was a little embarrassed.

Just as he was about to explain a few words, Lin Beifan raised five fingers:"Okay, add 500,000 taels!

Gao Tianyao:"F*ck!""

Who is more greedy?

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

Watching the other party leave, Lin Beifan smiled.

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

But there is no reason not to pick up the lamb that was delivered to the door?

Next, the Minister of the Ministry of Husband came to question the crime, the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment came to question the crime, the Minister of the Ministry of Rites came to question the crime...

Lin Beifan followed the same method and picked up the lambs respectively from the hands of several other aristocratic families. They paid 1.5 million taels, a total of 15 million taels, so they paid more and were grateful!

If they knew it, would they vomit blood?
