Chapter 228 Is there any reason not to squeeze the lamb delivered to your door?

Lin Beifan was very surprised!

Since he became an official in the court, the first high-ranking official he offended was Gao Tianyao, Minister of the Ministry of Officials. The two of them can be said to be political enemies, the kind who never get in touch with each other!

Unexpectedly, one day, the other party would come to him!

“Dali, go and tell him to wait a while and make a cup of tea by the way, I’ll be there later!”

“Yes, master!”

A moment later, Lin Beifan saw Gao Tianyao, Minister of the Ministry of Officials in the lobby, cupped his hands and said with a smile, “Lord Gao, you are such a rare visitor! I never expected that you would come to my place as a guest! Haha!”

“Ahem…” Gao Tianyao, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, had an unnatural expression on his face, a forced smile appeared on his wrinkled face, and he cupped his hands and said, “Master Lin, isn’t this old man going to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing? I want to have a secret talk with Master Lin! By the way, this is a little gift from the old man, please accept it, Master Lin!”

Lin Beifan looked over and found that Gao Tianyao brought a lot of gifts.

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

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

The other things are of equal value.

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

“It turned out to be a gift from Mr. Gao, so the official accepted it with the cheek! Dali, these are all good things, and they are directly moved to my study!” Lin Beifan laughed.

“Yes, master!” Dali and Xiao Cui moved the things to the back.

Seeing that Lin Beifan didn’t shake his face and took his things, Gao Tianyao, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Afterwards, Xiaocui served tea, and then shielded the left and right, leaving only Lin Beifan and two people.

“There is no one now, Mr. Gao, please speak up if you have anything to say, and I will listen to you!”

“Ahem, Mr. Lin, then the official said straight to the point, this time the official is here on behalf of the Gao family in the Northern Territory!”

Gao Tian’s dazzling expression became serious, but his expression was still unnatural, and he said in a low voice, “Our Northern Territory Gao family hopes to obtain the distribution rights of cement, and we hope you will be accommodating!”

Lin Beifan smiled to himself, sometimes you beg me too!

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

This family is very remarkable. Every dynasty and generation has cultivated many outstanding scholars to serve as officials in the dynasty, and their strength is very strong.

When they were at their strongest, 1/3 of the people in the court belonged to them, influencing the policies of a country, and even the current emperor had to act according to their faces.

Only later, with the implementation of the imperial examination system and the popularization of books, their status was greatly reduced.

However, the impact on the court is still huge.

Gao Tianyao is the most outstanding representative of their generation. He achieved the position of second-rank minister in the current dynasty.

The development of any aristocratic family needs money.

Just at this time, Lin Beifan launched the magic weapon of cement. Who can remain indifferent?

Therefore, the Gao family in the Northern Territory was moved and encouraged Gao Tianyao to come over.

No matter how unwilling Gao Tianyao was, for the sake of the Gao family, he had to come to give Lin Beifan a gift and ask Lin Beifan to do something.

“Master Gao, this matter is a bit difficult~!” Lin Beifan spread his hands and said helplessly: “It is written on the imperial list that only the top ten contributors can get the distribution rights of cement! If I don’t Acting according to the rules is to deceive the emperor, this is a matter of decapitation, I can’t afford it!”

Gao Tianyao gave Lin Beifan a white look.

Have you done too little to deceive the king?

This official doesn’t even bother to talk about you!

“Lord Lin, I know that this matter is difficult! Therefore, I just hope that you can accommodate within the scope of the rules, for example…” Gao Tianyao said in a low voice: “Can you tell me, what is the current contribution of the Gao family? , who is in front, and how much contribution! In this way, the old man will be easy to handle!”

As he said that, he took out 100,000 taels of silver notes from his pocket.

Lin Beifan blinked his eyes: “Master Gao, add more!”

The corner of Gao Tianyao’s mouth twitched, and he took out two more bank notes, making up 200,000 taels.

“Thank you, Mr. Gao!” Lin Beifan stuffed the money into his arms with a smile: “Mr. Gao is generous, and the lower officials can’t be stingy anymore. Let me tell you!”

Lin Beifan bowed his head and said in a low voice, “The contribution of your Gao family is currently ranked 12th! As for the ones that rank in front of the Gao family, they are…their contributions are…”

Gao Tianyao was shocked when he heard this: “I didn’t expect those big families to be so willing! There are a few merchant families who usually keep quiet, but they are so rich!”

Lin Beifan shook his head and sighed: “I didn’t think of it either. I can only say that there are mountains as high as mountains! If it weren’t for the magic weapon of cement, I’m afraid we wouldn’t be able to blow them out!”

“Thank you, Mr. Lin, for letting me know. I’ll go back and prepare!” Gao Tianyao hurried back.

Obviously, it is necessary to slash the contribution value and break into the top 10.

Lin Beifan looked at the other party’s leaving figure, and felt secretly happy in his heart.

In fact, Gao’s contribution ranks 8th, which is quite high.

But there were only a few people who knew about this matter, and Lin Beifan gave a gag order to prevent them from speaking out.

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

You can make money easily, and you can also earn some supplies, so why not do it?

Lin Beifan sipped his tea carefully, and was about to go back to the study to continue enjoying when Dali came again and said, “Young Master, Mr. Qian, Minister of the Household Department, is here. He said he has something to talk to you about!”

Lin Beifan laughed, and someone sent money again.

Behind Mr. Qian, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, there is actually a shadow of an aristocratic family.

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

Otherwise, it would not be so easy for them to climb to a high position.

The aristocratic family helped them gain power, and now it’s time for them to repay!

“Please hurry up!”

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

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

Lin Beifan has long sleeves and is good at dancing, accepting all the sugar-coated shells.

The contribution of all parties can be informed and let them use the contribution value, but the dealership right is out of the question.

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

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

As for the major merchants and aristocratic families, after getting the contribution information from Lin Beifan, they immediately prepared supplies after returning home, and collected the contribution value. After you sing, I will appear on the stage, and there will be an endless stream!

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

To what extent?

So much so that Lin Beifan could repay the imperial court.

All the food that was spent on disaster relief before has been replenished, and there is still a little leftover!

As for other supplies, they are even more abundant!

This incident shocked the court!

In the morning, the empress praised Lin Beifan excitedly: “Lin Aiqing, it is really right that I entrust this matter to you! Not only have you successfully completed the material preparation work, but you have also made our court rich! Good, that’s great! !Remember this merit for the time being, and reward it later!”

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

She secretly thought in her heart, not only the imperial court is 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, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Lao Tianyao, came to the door to question the teacher.

He said angrily: “` “Master Lin, it is said that you told Master Qian about the ranking of contribution?”

Lin Beifan said very calmly: “Yes! Mr. Qian came to the door with great sincerity. I can’t turn him away right? Mr. Gao, you know that I can’t refuse gold, silver and jewelry!”< /p>

Gao Tianyao said angrily again: “But, I have confronted him, why did you say something different?”

Lin Beifan remained calm: “I can only say that this contribution rate is changing dynamically, so it is naturally different. I hope Master Gao understands!”

Gao Tianyao became even more angry: “Nonsense! The time difference between the two of us is only one cup of tea. Has this changed?”

Lin Beifan: “…”

“Master Lin, don’t fool me! Just tell me, how much do you want to give us the cement distribution rights to our Gao family? Just buy it now, don’t be silly!” 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 buy it!”

Gao Tianyao jumped up angrily: “I asked you to ask for a price, but I didn’t ask you to ask for it! Two million taels, I don’t know if I can earn it back! Can you be more reasonable?”

“Okay then, 1 million taels! As long as the money arrives in the account, one of the 10 distribution rights must be from the Gao family!” Lin Beifan said in pain, as if he had lost a large sum of money.

1 million taels, Gao Tianyao still thinks it’s too high!

However, if you can lock in a distribution right in advance and don’t have to continue to donate supplies endlessly, it will be worth it!

Gao Tianyao gritted his teeth: “Okay! It’s a deal!”

The two reconciled again and had a good time over wine.

While drinking, Gao Tianyao tentatively asked: “Master Lin, as well as Xincheng’s tax policy, can we also share with our Gao family? Don’t worry, the benefits are indispensable to you!”

Lin Beifan was shocked: “Master Gao, are you too greedy? In addition to the distribution rights of cement, you actually want to get preferential tax policies for the new factory?”

This made Gao Tianyao a little embarrassed.

Just about to explain a few sentences, Lin Beifan raised 5 fingers: “Yes, add 500,000 taels!”

Gao Tianyao: “Damn!”

Who is more greedy?

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

Looking at the figure of the other party leaving, Lin Beifan smiled.

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

But the lamb delivered to the door, is there any reason not to scoop it up?

Next, the Secretary of the Household Department came to ask the crime, the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment came to ask the crime, and the Minister of the Ministry of Rites came to ask the crime… So…

Lin Beifan did the same thing, and took out 1.5 million taels from several other aristocratic families, totaling 15 million taels. They made them pay more and thanked Dade!

If you know, will you vomit blood? .
