As expected of the military counselor, he quickly came up with a satisfactory solution.
Then, he quickly relayed the message to Mo Rushuang and Lin Beifan.
"Your Highness means that Young Master Lin is very welcome to join!”
"It's just that you're asking for too much. He can't take out so much money in a short period of time. So, let's change the condition. If you do something for His Highness, he will pay the corresponding reward. How about that?”
This was the most appropriate method of cooperation at the moment.
First of all, King Jibei couldn't take out the money that Lin Beifan needed in one go, so he paid Lin Beifan in batches to take him in.
Secondly, neither of them trusted the other.
This was especially true for King Jibei. He was afraid that even if he gave Lin Beifan the money, Lin Beifan would still not listen to him and might even betray him. Wouldn't that be like drawing water with a sieve?
Therefore, through this method of piecework payment, they would be paid a little for each thing they did.
When problems occurred, they could stop the losses in time and at the same time give Lin Beifan corresponding motivation.
Lin Beifan nodded. However, before I do anything, I need a 30% deposit. Otherwise, I won't do anything! Moreover, before I pay the rest of the money, I will not do the second thing!”
He didn't trust King Jibei and was afraid that he would work for nothing, so he asked for a portion of the money in advance.
"I will pass on your request, but I don't think there should be any problem! In addition, there's one more thing that needs to be made clear. His Highness has ordered us to stay in the capital! Firstly, I can observe the movements in the capital and at the same time, it's convenient to contact you! Secondly, it'll be convenient for me to protect you!"
"Is it convenient to monitor me?" Lin Beifan smiled.
"Humph! You can think whatever you want. Anyway, I only received these two orders!”
Mo Rushuang's expression suddenly turned ugly.
Guo Shao Shuai took out a stack of silver notes and said,"This is a gift from His Highness, a total of 300,000 taels!”
Lin Beifan reached out and took the banknotes. He smiled and said,""Giving 300,000 taels without doing anything, wangye is finally generous! Following such a master would not be a loss!”
Looking at Lin Beifan's smug smile, Mo Rushuang and the others really wanted to punch him.
"Do you know how much His Highness can do for the common people with 300,000 taels?" Mo Rushuang asked angrily. In the end, it all went into your corrupt official's pocket!”
"Yes!" Guo Shao Shuai nodded vigorously.
" Tsk!" Lin Beifan said," I don't care how he uses the 300,000 taels. I only care about how he got the 300,000 taels!" For someone I just met, he could easily fork out 300,000 taels of silver. This proves that the other party's family background is definitely more than 3 million!”
"Then here comes the problem. He has been a prince for more than 40 years and has received more than 40 years of salary from the imperial court. Where did he get so much money?”
"This…" Mo Rushuang and the other two were stunned.
"You can't figure it out, right? I can't figure it out either, but I can think about it slowly. It must be very interesting!”
Lin Beifan leaned back tactically and placed his hands on his head. He smiled and said,""To be honest, you keep saying that King Jibei is a wise ruler, but I can't see any signs of him!”
"You're not allowed to insult His Highness!" Mo Rushuang and the other woman were furious.”
"Your Highness is kind and charitable, helping those in need!" Guo Shao Shuai said anxiously. He often gave out alms, and even gave generously to families in need! Punishing criminals and punishing lawbreakers! If a fellow martial artist was in trouble, he would not hesitate to help! Because of this, there are many people in the martial arts world who are willing to serve His Highness! How could such a person not be a wise ruler?”
Mo Rushuang nodded vigorously.
Lin Beifan smiled." On the surface, he does seem to have done a lot of good deeds. He's a good person, but it's still too early to say that he's a wise ruler!" Do you know what the standard of a wise ruler is in my heart?”
"What's the standard?" The two of them said in unison.
"The standard is very simple!" Lin Beifan sat up straight and said seriously,""Don't look at what he has done. Just look at the place under his jurisdiction, whether the people are living well, and whether their lives have improved.”
Mo Rushuang and the other man were deep in thought.
"Now, let's use this standard to prove the King of Northern Hebei!”
"The wise and mighty prince you speak of has been in northern Hebei for more than 20 years. He has enough time to improve the living standards of the people of northern Hebei! However, did the lives of the people change at all?”
Lin Beifan shook his head. Not at all! It was still the same chaotic war, and the people were in dire straits. It was no different from other places, or even slightly worse! Do you think such a person is still a wise ruler?”
" This..." Mo Rushuang and the others were dumbfounded.
He wanted to retort, but he didn't know where to start.
Lin Beifan laughed coldly,"Either the other party is someone who deceives the world to gain fame! He deceived everyone in the world, including you! Or, he was a stupid person! He had the heart to rule the world, but he did not have the ability to do so!”
"No matter what, he can't be called a wise master!”
Mo Rushuang and the other woman were rendered speechless.
But thinking about what Lin Beifan said, he felt that it made more sense.
If the other party was really a wise ruler who had the heart and ability to save the world, then the people under his jurisdiction should live and work in peace and contentment, and their lives should be greatly improved.
Why had the lives of the common people not changed at all over the years? In any case, they had become even poorer?
A terrifying thought appeared in his mind!
Could it be that he had found the wrong master all these years?
At this moment, Lin Beifan waved his hand." Alright, I'm going to sleep. You guys can go back first!" If there's anything, we'll talk about it tomorrow!"
Mo Rushuang cupped her hands and left with heavy hearts.
At this moment, a white figure suddenly appeared in front of Lin Beifan.
Even though he was already used to it, Lin Beifan was still shocked.""Bai Guanyin, can you not be so scary the next time you appear? Especially at night, it was too scary!”
"Sorry, be careful next time!" Bai Qingxuan said indifferently.
Lin Beifan rolled his eyes. He said that every time, but he still did what he wanted.
"Don't tell me you really plan to join King Jibei?”Bai Qingxuan asked curiously.
Lin Beifan shook his head. The empress treats me so well. How can I bear to betray her? It was just that he had been earning money a little slowly recently, so he wanted to open up a path of wealth from him. The prince should have a lot of money on him, right?”
Bai Qingxuan was speechless.”
"Thank you for the compliment!" Lin Beifan chuckled. My greatest strength is that I'm not picky about food and I like to make friends! I'll make friends with whoever sends money to my door! This is the money I just earned. It's still warm. Take it!”
Bai Qingxuan accepted the banknotes and instructed,""You have to be more careful. The Northern Ji King has wild ambitions. Doing things with him is equivalent to asking a tiger for its skin. It's very dangerous! If they were not careful, they would be charged with treason and lose everything!”
"Don't worry, I know!" Lin Beifan nodded seriously.
Bai Qingxuan took the money and left. She returned to report to the empress and informed her of the matter.
"What?" The empress was shocked. King Jibei found Lin Beifan and the two of them hooked up?”
Bai Qingxuan nodded.
The empress gritted her teeth and said angrily,"Lin Beifan, that bastard! He was getting more and more wild, and his courage was getting bigger and bigger. He could even get involved in such matters? As long as he was involved with the vassal king, he would not be able to wash his name clean. His political career would be tainted! If something happens in the future, how will he solve it?”
Bai Qingxuan also felt that Lin Beifan was extremely daring.
She was ashamed of her courage.
The empress was very tired." Forget it. Since it has already happened, let him be!" This person was always too worrisome. He always made people afraid!”
Bai Qingxuan nodded in agreement.
"Right, Sister Qingxuan, what does Lin Beifan think of this Imperial Uncle of ours?”
Bai Qingxuan explained Lin Beifan's theory of a wise ruler and came to a conclusion. King Jibei was either a fraud or an incompetent fool.
The other party was obviously the former. For the sake of his own wild ambition, he had acted for a lifetime and deceived the entire world.
Actually, he did not do anything good behind the scenes.
"As expected of my beloved minister!"
"It took me several years to see the true colors of this Imperial Uncle!" The empress praised. However, Minister Lin saw through his strength with a glance. His eyes were like torches, which made me admire him!”
She felt that she was resonating with Lin Beifan more and more!
The other party's way of looking at the problem was often exactly the same as hers, making her feel like she was a bosom friend.
It was rare to have a confidant in life!
It had been a long time since he had received a reward. It seemed like he would be able to receive another wave of rewards tomorrow!
Let him feel my mighty imperial grace!
Hence, on the morning court session of the second day.
"Minister Lin, where are you?"
"Your subject is here!"
"The sun is shining brightly today. I am in a good mood, so I will reward you…"
"Ten thousand taels of silver!"
"10 supreme-grade ginsengs!"
"10 pairs of jadeite!"
"Top quality Da Hong Pao, 10 taels!"
……
Lin Bei's mortal was numb!
Again?
There were so many things that the house could not hold them!
The officials were also stunned!
Again?
Your Majesty, please be more rational. Can you not be so impulsive?
He didn't even need it, yet he still gave her so much?
Can you leave some for us old ministers?
We also need love!
However, the empress did not seem to notice the resentful gazes of the officials.
After giving the tip, he was in a very good mood and waved his hand."Alright, dear minister, quickly thank the Lord for his kindness and leave! The morning court session is about to begin. If you have a memorial, you will leave the court!”
Lin Beifan's mouth twitched.”
Thus, the morning court session officially began.
And at this time, Crown Prince Wu Yingjie had already rushed to the capital, travel-worn.
In the end, as soon as they stepped into the capital, they were mesmerized by the bustling scene.
The neat and tall buildings, the bustling streets, the endless stream of people, and the cries of hawkers everywhere made him, a country bumpkin from northern Hebei, linger.
"Is this the capital? It's several times richer than our northern Hebei!”The prince was very intoxicated.
At this moment, someone beside him reminded him softly,""Prince, this is the foot of the emperor. Your identity is very sensitive! Therefore, he had to be careful and not expose his identity!”
"Don't worry, I know!" The prince nodded slightly.”
They talked carefully and slowly blended into the crowd.
