Chapter 129: Promoted to another level, where should I become an official?

Everyone was very shocked!

However, if, as Lin Beifan said, if this hovercraft that can transport more than 200 people costs less than 100 taels and can be manufactured in a week, then it will definitely be possible in a short time…

Rapidly enhance the capabilities of the Great Martial Water Army!

Strengthen logistics support in wartime!

Promote economic development and increase the court’s income!

This is definitely a true underwater weapon!

“Okay, okay!” Empress Longxin was delighted, and shouted: “With this hovercraft, I can definitely increase the strength of my Great Wu quickly. What is it if it’s not a weapon on the water? Lin Aiqing, you have made a great contribution again!”

Lin Beifan was terrified: “I dare not claim credit for this, it was all created under His Majesty’s wise guidance!”

The empress laughed and scolded: “Stop flattering, what’s yours is yours!”

An old official stood up and questioned: “But, is this ship too simple? Can it work wonders? For example, without sails, how can he move? Without guardrails, what should we do if the goods on the ship are dumped into the water? This boat is made of small wood, it is not strong enough, what should I do if it is damaged?”

“Master Liu, your question is good!”

Lin Beifan explained with a smile: “Because the time is limited, this is just a rough version made by the officials, mainly for the convenience of everyone to see! You think there is no sail to move, can’t we put a sail on him? Even We don’t need a sail, we can hang it on the old ship, which increases the transportation capacity of the old ship!”

“You said he doesn’t have a guardrail, so we can build the guardrail without much effort!”

“As for the solidity of the hull, it’s also very easy to solve! We can use some original shipbuilding keels for construction, or directly use steel to construct the hull, ensuring that it is as stable as Mount Tai!”

“In addition, this hovercraft does have some shortcomings! For example, the airbags are easily damaged, but we can prepare enough airbags to replace them at any time, so the problem is not big!”

……

Lin Beifan pointed out several shortcomings and solutions.

In the end, I concluded: “Compared with other boats, this hovercraft has various shortcomings! But these shortcomings are nothing compared to its advantages!”

The Empress laughed loudly and said: “That’s right! Although this hovercraft has some shortcomings, they can all be made up for! Compared with its advantages, it is nothing at all! With this powerful weapon on the water, I will have no worries!”

“What Your Majesty said is absolutely true!” Lin Beifan smiled.

Looking at Lin Beifan’s triumphant expression, Qian Yuanshen, Minister of the Household Department, was very upset.

“Lin Siye, I have a question to ask you!”

“Master Qian, please!”

Qian Yuanshen said loudly: “Lin Siye, look at how simple and rough this boat is. According to what you said, it took less than 100 taels to make this boat, which only took a week! Then I will ask You, you took 2 million taels from the treasury before, isn’t it a bit too much? Can you return the extra money?”

Everyone looked like they were enjoying the show.

Lin Beifan was very calm: “Master Qian, you can’t just look at the surface of the problem! Although it took less than 100 taels to make this hovercraft! But do you know how much money was spent in the research process?”

“No matter how much you spend, it’s impossible to spend 2 million taels, right?”

“That’s good!” Lin Beifan asked loudly: “I give you 2 million, can you research it?”

“This…” Qian Yuan, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, was at a loss for words.

“Knowledge is priceless!” Lin Beifan’s voice was loud and clear: “I have been researching and researching day and night, and only then have I created a hovercraft, a powerful water weapon. I don’t know how much it will bring to Great Wu. Have you counted it? But It’s only 2 million taels, and you’re all fussing over me, what’s the point?”

Qian Yuan was so angry that he wanted to jump up.

How can you ignore it?

That’s 2 million taels!

How much is that, do you know?

If it is used to build ships, at least thousands of ships can be built!

Do you know how much he can embezzle if it is used for other projects?

The result is all in your pocket!

The other officials listened with mouths crooked and eyes slanted.

Long-cherished and night-sleeping?

Day and night?

You are ashamed to speak out!

I’ve never seen you busy before!

This month, I’ve been listening to the gossip about you flirting with Miss Ziyue!

Seeing that there was going to be a quarrel, the Empress smiled and waved her hand: “Okay, okay, these are all trivial matters! Just build the ship, don’t worry about other things!”

“Yes, Your Majesty!” The two spoke in unison.

Lin Beifan was triumphant, but Qian Yuanshen, Minister of the Household Department, felt extremely wronged!

Your Majesty, this little bastard has embezzled 2 million taels of the national treasury, so why don’t you let me care about it?

No matter how eccentric you are, you can’t be so eccentric, right?

“Lin Aiqing, come forward and listen!”

“Your Majesty!” Lin Beifan stood up.

The empress said loudly: “Before, Lin Aiqing presented the method of manufacturing and controlling the flying artifact, the big balloon, and found out several traitors from the Ministry of Industry, and exposed the bewitching method of the Tianyi Sect, so as to maintain our rule!”

“Nowadays, a hovercraft, a sharp weapon on the water, has been built, which has greatly enhanced my ability to serve as a naval force. The contribution is enormous! Now, with all the merits and rewards, Lin Aiqing has been promoted to a fourth-rank official!”

“Reward a hundred acres of fertile land, and ten thousand taels of silver! Thank you!”

“Thank you, Your Majesty!” Lin Beifan said loudly.

He raised his head, and found a pair of red envious eyes.

To be honest, it is impossible for all officials not to be envious.

It took them decades of time, after decades of hard work, and I don’t know how many people they defeated, before they came to this position step by step!

The hardships involved are only known to them.

But what about Lin Beifan?

It has only been 4 months since he was admitted as the No. 1 scholar.

Jumped one level in almost a month, from a small sixth-rank official to the current fourth-rank official position!

Saved several years, even more than ten years!

What’s even more exasperating is that he got promoted so quickly, and even got so much money along the way!

Almost fried their oil and water!

For the first time, they hated God for being so unfair!

But at this time, many people secretly breathed a sigh of relief, secretly happy in their hearts.

Because, Lin Beifan has been promoted, so he should have no way to stay in the Imperial College anymore, and continue to collect money from their children.

After all, Jijiu, the highest leader of the Guozijian, is only a fourth-rank official.

Lin Beifan is also from the fourth rank, and the two have the same official rank.

This is a big taboo in the officialdom. One person must be transferred away.

Obviously, the original Liu Jijiu had been serving as wine for more than ten years. He was highly respected and deeply rooted in the Imperial College. In the end, Lin Beifan, who had the lowest qualifications, must have been transferred away.

The empress smiled and asked Mimi: “Lin Aiqing, you are now an official of the fourth rank, and you can also be regarded as a high-ranking official. Which department do you want to work in? I will give you the right to choose!”

< p>
“Thank you Your Majesty for giving me this opportunity! I have always yearned for the Ministry of Household Affairs, so I want to go to the Ministry of Households to practice and learn from all the adults. Please let Your Majesty do it!” Lin Beifan laughed.

Treasury, here I come!

When Qian Yuanshen, Minister of the Household Department, saw Lin Beifan’s smile, he was in a bad mood!

This bastard is clearly looking at the treasury!

Before I came to the household department, I was able to embezzle so much money!

If you come, what’s the deal?

If something happens in the future, even his immediate boss will not be able to escape responsibility!

Sooner or later, she will be tricked to death by him!

So, he stood up without hesitation: “I object!”

The empress asked: “Qian Aiqing, why do you object?”

“Weichen thinks that Mr. Lin’s job in our household department will not provide any experience. It is better to go to the Ministry of Industry! Mr. Lin has invented the flying balloon and the water hovercraft. He is very talented in invention and creation! Therefore, Mr. Lin will definitely play a huge role when he goes to the Ministry of Industry!”

Wang Rushui, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, heard this and his eyelids twitched.

Qian Yuanshen, what enmity do I have with you? You want to harm me like this?

Before he came to the Ministry of Industry, he slapped all the officials of our Ministry of Industry from beginning to end!

All the oil and water on my hands were squeezed out, and I returned to poverty overnight!

You still let us see him and work with him every day, doesn’t it make us uncomfortable?

I’m not in good health now, if he gets mad at me, will you be responsible?

So, he stood up without hesitation: “I object to Master Lin coming to serve in our department!”

The Empress asked: “Wang Aiqing, why do you object?”

Wang Rushui said in a loud voice: “I feel that Mr. Lin is really degraded by coming to our Ministry of Industry! Our Ministry of Industry is full of hard work and dirty work. Mr. Lin really can’t show his talents! Why don’t you go to the Ministry of Officials? For fit!”

Gao Tianyao, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, was so angry that his mouth slanted and his eyes slanted.

Well, you Wang Rushui!

I usually treat you well, but you actually hurt me so much?

Now I can’t wait to slap that little scourge to death, but you still introduce him to me?

Are you trying to deliberately piss me off?

snort! Next time I have a chance, I must refer to you for a copy!

“I object!”

Gao Tianyao stood up and said, “Your Majesty, all the officials in our official department are already in place. There is really no place for Mr. Lin. Why don’t you arrange for Mr. Lin to go to the Ministry of Punishment! Mr. Lin is resourceful and quick-witted, and he will definitely solve cases like a god.” !”

“I object!”

Minister of the Ministry of Justice stood up without hesitation.

Just like that, everyone pushed each other around, like kicking a football, avoiding him, and no department was willing to accept him.

Lin Beifan blinked his eyes, is he so unpopular?

Really, I don’t seem to have done anything wicked!

When the empress saw this scene, she died laughing in her heart!

He glanced at Lin Beifan with a half-smile.

This guy has offended all civil and military officials in the court. No one wants to accept him!

At this time, a minister made a suggestion: “My minister remembers that in the land of David, there is a vacancy for Xuan Fu! Mr. Lin is resourceful and eloquent, why not let him take up the position of Xuan Fu!”

All the officials’ eyes lit up, and they bowed one after another.

“Second minister!”

“Second minister!”

……

Lin Beifan was shaking with anger.

These old bastards!

The Xuanfu Division is a supervisory agency set up by the imperial court in a certain border area.

Xuanfu is the chief executive of the Xuanfu Department, how to convey the emperor’s orders, appease the local soldiers and civilians, and handle specific matters.

And the Land of David is very far away from Beijing.

These old guys clearly wanted to take the opportunity to transfer him away from the capital, and they didn’t want to see him!

The intention is very sinister! .
