"What's so hard about a waterwheel, I made one when I was twelve." Shengzi seemed to regard Li Lin as his bosom friend, and he was very proud: "If you don't believe it, you can still go to Xiaohuang Village to have a look, my watermill works there!" ”

After hearing this, Li Lin knew that the person in front of him was the person he was looking for: "Okay, then you go home and discuss it with your family, and leave this matter to you!" ”

"Really?" Shengzi immediately became excited, his eyes became bright, he blinked and looked at Li Lin, but soon the brilliance in his eyes dimmed, and he whispered: "But I can't read and write, so I can't enter the office." ”

"You can't read?"

"I can only read drawings, not words."

That's amazing, isn't it?

Li Lin smiled and then said in a low voice: "It's okay, even if you don't know how to read, it's okay, as long as you can make it, I will use you." ”

"I can!" The birth of a child immediately became firm.

Before, because he couldn't read, he had been despised by many people, but he didn't expect that he didn't dislike himself for not being literate.

Li Lin patted him on the shoulder: "The prince and the prince will have a kind of Xiangning, you must not think too low of yourself, in fact, you are very good." ”

"I don't have parents, only my uncle, and my aunt dislikes me eating white rice at home all day, and I think their family will be happy if I leave." Giving birth to a child tells the truth.

No wonder.

Li Lin felt strange before, Cai Quan himself rejected this matter so much, how could he recommend his nephew over, it turned out that there was such an inside story.

Li Lin was not interested in their family's affairs: "Okay, from now on, you will follow this king." ”

"Yes!" Shengzi nodded, and immediately became Li Lin's follower.

Li Lin looked at Cai Quan with a smile: "Your nephew is good, this king wants it!" ”

"Yes, the minister will send the deed of sale to the palace immediately." Cai Quan knelt on the ground.

Deed of Sale?

After Li Lin heard this, he subconsciously looked at Shengzi.

Obviously, Shengzi didn't expect that his uncle would be so eager to sell himself!

If there is a deed of sale, then he is the private property of the regent's palace, and he is not a free person!

Originally, Li Lin was going to refuse.

But when he thought that if there was a deed of sale, then this son would have nothing to do with the Cai family at all, so he agreed: "Well." ”

"Congratulations to the prince!" Cai Quan didn't look at his nephew during the whole process.

Compared with the safety of his life and the black yarn on his head, this nephew is really too insignificant, and it is not a pity to die!

After going out, looking at the pitiful appearance of Shengzi doubting life, Li Lin smiled: "What? Sad? ”

"I don't have the right to be sad, I have been under the fence since I was a child, and my parents have died, so I have no right to be resentful." Shengzi's tone was very calm, not at all like what a nineteen-year-old boy should be.

Also.

If the Cai family really takes this nephew to heart, how can they be nineteen years old and not give it to their relatives?

Li Lin smiled and pinched his shoulder: "Don't feel sorry for yourself, you are very powerful." ”

"Thank you, Lord Wang!" I also want to give birth to a child.

In the Cai family, he will always be just a small worker who works with his head down, and if he follows the regent, maybe he will have a different future!

Thinking of this, he was not uncomfortable, but suddenly enlightened.

After returning to the palace and instructing the people below to take good care of the child, he turned around and went into the study.

"Go and call Mr. Xu over." Li Lin sat there and began to think.

Xu Yangcheng thought that he would never be enabled again in his life.

Hearing that Li Lin called him, he hurriedly came over, the gentleman was dressed, and he tidied up his somewhat messy robe before entering the door.

Entering the door, bowing his hand, what a beautiful young man, full of anger.

Li Lin looked at him: "Sir, this king has encountered a problem now." ”

"What's the prince's trouble?"

"Money."

Li Lin sighed.

Now that the treasury is empty, there will certainly be no money to build this dam.

But if the dam is not built, the flood will be repeated every year, isn't it a waste of labor and money back and forth?

Belch......

Xu Yangcheng never thought that it would be for such a cheesy thing to finally call himself over?

He frowned, hesitated, and whispered, "I don't know how much money the prince needs?" ”

"About 500,000 taels."

Before making this diagram, Li Lin had actually made a budget.

The treasury can now take out up to 200,000 taels of spare money, and the rest has to support the operation of various departments, this disaster relief needs 300,000 taels of silver, and 100,000 taels He plans to blackmail civil and military officials!

But he also wants the 500,000.

"What?" Xu Yang set up a horse and asked: "What does the prince want so much money for?" ”

Li Lin looked at him: "You said that we are a big country in Great Xia, how can there only be 200,000 in the treasury?" Where did the rest of the money go to the emperor? ”

He is not a fool, how can he really think that there is only such a small amount of money in the treasury?

I'm afraid that this money was transferred by the old emperor, just to balance him.

Let him have trouble in the court.

No money, isn't it nothing?

Xu Yangcheng shook his head: "My subordinates don't know." ”

"Jin Guo is so rich, you say that I will extort a sum of money, will it be a little loss?" Li Lin actually probably had a plan in his heart.

What do you mean?

Xu Yangcheng came up: "Lord Wang, this is not a trivial matter. ”

"I heard that the nine princesses of Jinguo are all pampered, and they are the eyes of their old emperor? So do you think this princess is worth 500,000? Li Lin said to himself.

It is clear that the preparations and decisions have been made.

Knowing that persuasion was useless, Xu Yangcheng could be regarded as letting go: "Don't say 500,000, even if it's 800,000 Jinguo Emperor, he won't blink." ”

"It's just the Jinguo Imperial Palace, how to steal people out?" Xu Yangcheng looked at him helplessly.

Li Lin looked at him with a smile: "This is going to ask you, aren't you the smartest person in the entire palace?" ”

This is the smartest person who loves to be who should go to it!

Xu Yangcheng turned around on the ground twice and finally came up with a solution: "As far as my subordinates know, the favorite thing about these nine princesses is to play tricks, so on the fifteenth day of every month, there will be tricks to perform in the palace!" ”

"You're so smart!" Li Lin smiled.

He looked at Ling Yue'er on the side: "Among the secret guards, how many of them can do tricks?" ”

"What are you really going to do? So what if Emperor Jinguo was angry and called? Ling Yue'er looked at him with some concern.

Li Lin waved his hand and said lightly: "You can rest assured about this, this king has inquired before, this Jinguo is rich, as for the military aspect, it is very stretched, as long as it can be solved with money, they will never use force to solve it." ”

Is that also the reason?

Isn't that bullying?

Although he entered the palace as a staff member, he still has the reserve that a scholar should have!

He looked at Li Lin with a burst of helplessness.

When did this prince become a scoundrel?

"Lord Wang, this matter is not trivial, if it is discovered, how can this be explained?"

"Why was it discovered?"

Li Lin waved his hand.

This matter, he has already decided.

He really couldn't find a better way to get so much money in a short period of time!
