I Am a Corrupt Official, But They Say I Am a Loyal Minister!

At this time, Li Yuxin was still massaging Lin Beifan's head.

Looking at Lin Beifan's handsome face close at hand, he could feel the breath and warmth of the other person, and there was a little joy in his heart, his heartbeat quickened a little, and a smoky red quietly flew to his cheeks.

"Sir, you seem very tired, do you often do this?" Li Yuxin asked in a low voice.

"Yeah, there are too many official duties in charge!"

Lin Beifan closed his eyes and sighed: "I am the sacrificial wine of Guozijian, and I supervise nearly 10,000 teachers, students and handymen in the whole school. My responsibility is not light! In addition, entrusted by His Majesty, as a supervisor to keep an eye on the big balloon and the hovercraft. Production! And go to the court on time every day, and be in charge of other affairs! It's just a brick of the court, move it wherever you need it!"

"For example, before, I was in charge of the battle between the two grand masters, and I went to Tangzhou to persuade the rebels to surrender. These are not my own jobs, but I will handle them all. Fortunately, I successfully completed the task and lived up to the emperor's grace!"

Li Yu said distressedly: "Sir, it's hard for you!"

"It's not hard work, but it's also a matter of sharing your majesty's worries and begging for the lives of the people!"

Lin Beifan said: "If I don't keep an eye on the production of big balloons and hovercraft, then there will inevitably be people who will betray the interests of the country and put them at a disadvantage!"

"If I'm not in charge of the grandmaster war, then the two grandmasters will put the battlefield in the capital, or even directly in the Forbidden City, and the capital will inevitably be devastated, and there will be countless casualties!"

"If I don't persuade the rebels to surrender, wars will inevitably arise, people will be displaced, and people's livelihoods will be ruined!"

"So these things, I have to do!"

Li Yuxin's eyes were full of admiration and admiration: "I heard about these things when the people came to Beijing! If it wasn't for the adults behind you and your great efforts, Dawu would have been in chaos! Lord Jijiu, 317 You are really amazing. !"

"Oh! You can understand it!"

Lin Beifan sighed: "However, the hardest thing is to deal with all the officials in the imperial court. They all want me to die! As long as I take a wrong step, I will die! I will fight with them every day. Extremely exhausting!"

Li Yuxin felt even more distressed: "Sir, you are really working too hard! You are so young, but you have to be responsible for so many state affairs! Well, in the future, the people will often come to massage and relax for you!"

"Ah? How embarrassing is this, no merit is not rewarded!"

"My lord, please don't refuse, this is the only thing that Minnu can do for you! You made Grandpa's hard work published, revised medical books, and taught us a variety of recipes that can't be exchanged for money. Minnv doesn't know how Repayment, this is the only way to do it!" Li Yuxin said sincerely.

Lin Beifan was moved by the sincerity of the other party: "Okay, thank you for your hard work!"

"Sir, you're welcome!" Li Yuxin smiled, her heart filled with joy!

I'll be able to see adults more often in the future!

After half an hour, the massage was over.

Lin Beifan found that Li Yuxin's Qianqianyu fingers were trembling a little, obviously she worked very hard just now.

So, Lin Beifan kept her down for a dinner.

After that, let Mo Rushuang take her home.

At this time, the land of northern Hebei.

The strategist Mr. Zhuge hesitated for a long time at the door, thinking again and again, finally gritted his teeth and stepped into the prince's study.

Bowing with both hands: "Qi Wangye, the real culprit who killed Mu Lao has not been found, please punish!"

The King of Jibei was immediately furious: "You bastards! This king has given you so long, how come you can't even find a single one? What does this king do to support so many of you?"

Mr. Zhuge Nuonuo bowed his head and was scolded, his heart was full of bitterness.

Over the past few months, Wang Ye's temper has gotten worse and worse!

The palace is empty, there is no money!

Big balloons and hovercraft cost a lot of manpower and material resources, but they can't be built!

Many masters have died one after another, and even the congenital masters have been killed and disabled!

Hundreds of soldiers and horses pretending to be horse thieves were destroyed by others!

It can be said that... the fleeting years are unfavorable!

Therefore, the prince was very angry, either beating or scolding!

And as the confidant of the prince and the person in charge of many things, he bears the greatest anger of the other party!

It can be said that the body suffers, and the heart suffers even more!

After scolding, the prince felt more at ease and asked, "How much money is there in the palace? Give this prince a batch of money, about 500,000 taels, and I was going to entertain the distinguished guests!"

Mr. Zhuge bowed his head and said, "My lord, there is no more money in the palace!"

The prince was angry again: "Why don't you have any money? You robbed so much money before, where did it go?"

Mr. Zhuge shivered and said: "My lord, although I robbed more than 30,000 taels before, more than 10,000 taels were spent on airbag manufacturing! Another 10,000 taels were used as expenses for the army and martial arts masters in the government! There are also 50 taels. 10,000 taels, given to the champion who is far away in the capital! So, now there are less than 500,000 taels left!"

The prince was angry again: "Since there is no money, why don't you go grab it?"

Mr. Zhuge panicked: "Your Highness, you can't rob any more!"

"Why can't you grab it?"

"My lord, everything that can be robbed has been robbed, and the common people have no money! Moreover, due to the rampant horse thieves, many common people have fled north of Hebei and no longer do farming! Merchants don't come to us to do business, and the economy has already withered. The taxes collected are much less! So now it's time to recuperate and restore the economy as soon as possible!"

"But what if you don't have money?" The prince said angrily: "How can you support the army without money? How can you support masters without money? Don't look at the group of martial arts masters who are very obedient, but they are all old rivers and lakes. If they have no money, they will run away. Faster than anyone else! Isn't the great situation we created with great difficulty about to collapse?"

"What the lord said is very true! But we really don't have much money..." Mr. Zhuge wiped his sweat at a loss.

"There is no money, then you can get money for this king!" The king said loudly.

"But your subordinates won't..." Mr. Zhuge smiled helplessly.

He is a strategist, and he can make suggestions, but if he is allowed to make quick money in the economy, there is really no way.

The lord also knew that this method was difficult for a strong man, so he calmed down and said, "Since we can't rob it in this king's land, we can send people to other prefectures and let them go there to snatch it!"

Mr. Zhuge was shocked: "My lord, it is very dangerous to do this! Without our secret protection, the casualties would have multiplied several times!"

The prince said angrily, "Then do you have any other way?"

Mr. Zhuge shrank his head.

"Just do as the king said!"

As a result, the horse thieves who were originally entrenched in northern Hebei seemed to break free from their cages and spread out around.

While bringing back huge rewards, it also brought back huge casualties.

The yamen troops of other prefectures are not used to them. Once they find a horse thief, they should do it immediately and deal with it.

And this matter finally alarmed the court.

The Empress was furious: "How unreasonable! The trouble with the horse bandits was so serious that it was reported? What did you all eat before?"

"Your Majesty, that horse thief came from the northern part of Hebei, and it may have something to do with the king of northern Hebei! This is a big matter, so the officials below do not dare to act rashly, please forgive me!" said an old minister.

"What a king of Jibei! If I really find out that you are related to this matter, I will never forgive you!" The Empress said loudly: "Aiqings, what are the best strategies to solve the problem of horse bandits?"

"Your Majesty, please ask a state government to send troops to suppress the encirclement and suppression!"

"However, the horse bandits move quickly, and they come and go without a trace. How can they send troops to suppress them? When the people arrive, they may have already run away!"

"Then what else can you do, Lord Wang?"

...

Everyone expresses their opinions.

The Empress was not satisfied, and her eyes drifted to Lin Beifan, who was standing in the process of fishing.

He smiled slightly: "Lin Aiqing, what's your best plan?"

Lin Beifan stood up and said loudly, "Report to Your Majesty, there is no good way for this minister, please investigate!"

I said silently in my heart, don't worry, my lord, I will never betray you!

I am your most loyal subordinate. The poor cannot be moved, the mighty cannot be subdued, and the rich cannot be promiscuous. Just take it easy!

The queen still had a smile on her face: "Aiqing, if you come up with a good plan, I will approve you for a three-day vacation!"

Lin Beifan immediately said loudly, "Reporting to Your Majesty, Wei Chen has just thought of a method, which may solve the problem of horse bandits!"

Tears silently in my heart, I'm sorry, Lord!

It's not that I want to betray you, it's that Your Majesty has given you too much!

The queen smiled in her heart.

I knew that if I didn't give some benefits, I wouldn't be able to turn over your salted fish!

"Aiqing, what's the trick, tell me quickly!" The Empress asked expectantly.

"Your Majesty, the reason why the horse bandits are difficult to suppress is because they move quickly, come and go without a trace, and are very scattered. It is inefficient and impractical to use the army to encircle and suppress them, which is inefficient and impractical! To deal with these cunning horse bandits, ordinary troops cannot be used. Then can we change the angle and use martial arts masters to deal with them?"

Lin Beifan said with a smile: "The martial arts masters also move quickly, come and go without a trace, and their strength is even stronger, so it is perfect for dealing with horse bandits! So we can publish a reward list for the heads of horse bandits, each head ten taels of silver. Let them kill the horse bandits for us, and we can just send the money in the rear!"

"That's a good idea!" The Empress' eyes lit up.

"However, a person's head is only 10 taels of silver, which is too little to attract powerful masters! And if the strength is not enough, it can't deal with the horse bandits! Should the reward amount be higher?" an old minister asked.

Lin Beifan shook his head and said with a smile: "No need! In addition to the bounty list, we will also release a hero list for commendation! The ranking is based on the number of murderers, and the more you kill, the higher your ranking! People, most of them are famous and famous, in order to rank higher, they will definitely actively kill bandits, strive to be on the list, and become heroes!"

"This hero list is good!" The queen's eyes brightened.

"In addition, we can also promise that the person who ranks first in the hero list, our court can promise him a condition that is not excessive! In this way, won't it attract real masters?"

Lin Beifan smiled proudly and said, "This horse bandit has a maximum of 4,000 to 5,000 people. We can easily solve the problem of horse bandits with only 40,000 to 50,000 to 50,000 taels, plus a not excessive condition. He Le Not for it? Your Majesty, is this plan feasible?"

The Empress shook her head and smiled: "Lin Aiqing, it's you who can come up with such a wonderful plan! I think this plan is good, Aiqing, do you have any comments, or do you have anything to add?"

The officials looked at each other in dismay, and said in unison, "The ministers have no opinion!"

"Okay! Just follow Aiqing's plan!".
