When the emperor heard this, he smiled in his heart. It turned out that it was not the problem with the house, but that the boy wanted to build something new.
What I feel deep down in my heart is that I dislike the fact that there are too few houses, which seems to have nothing to do with money.
It's just a few new houses built, and it doesn't cost much money. I don't know what this guy is planning.
Could it be that in his heart, this kid has already started to attack the Ministry of Rites?
I'm afraid that's the case, otherwise what's the use of building some houses?
"So that's it, Long Lin, how much money do you need? I can ask the Ministry of Accounts to allocate some money to you."
Upon hearing this, Long Lin smiled even brighter.
[What a good father. You can’t find such a good father even with a lantern. To be the son of such a wise king is really a blessing from God.]
After hearing what Long Lin said in his heart, the emperor immediately smiled.
This kid, please give it a try.
The Ministry of Etiquette is definitely more complicated than this kid thought. Where are we now? It’s a little premature to be happy.
"Father, my son doesn't want much. About two hundred thousand taels of silver should be enough."
Long Lin spoke very calmly, with a fawning smile on his face.
"How many?"
The emperor was instantly shocked. This boy really dared to speak.
How can we build a house? How many houses should we build? How much money does it cost?
Two hundred thousand taels of silver? You can build a very huge mansion.
Long Lin's brows twitched slightly, his tongue swiped across his lips very quickly, his eyes widened slightly, filled with surprise.
"Father, two hundred thousand taels."
As Long Lin spoke, he raised his two hands to make a gesture. One hand raised a two, and the other hand made a zero.
The emperor didn't understand this funny scene at all.
His face immediately returned to calmness and his expression became very serious.
"No."
When Long Lin heard this, his eyes widened immediately.
【Damn! Who are you coaxing? 】
[You are the emperor, the majestic head of a country, how can you have no money? 】
[With a swipe of a pen, money from the household department will be allocated, right?]
【No money? What should I use to build a new school?】
[Without a school, what can I do? Father, this is an opportunity to save the country, save the people, and make the country rise. I advise you, don’t be ignorant of praise.]
The emperor didn't say a word, and Long Lin's heart immediately exploded with emotion, but in his mind, he began to think about strategies to ask for money.
When the emperor heard this, he almost slapped the table and stood up.
Damn? What do you mean? Are you swearing in a different way?
This bastard boy, how dare you scold him in your heart? Boy, it seems that you have suffered a little bit.
Who are you coaxing? I am the lord of the world, do I need to coax you? Even if I coax you? What else can you do?
Money from the Ministry of Accounts? Is that something you can allocate if you want? Besides, if the Ministry of Accounts has any money, don’t you know how to ask first?
Two hundred thousand taels? I gave it to you? Don’t you need to do anything else?
Don’t you know how to praise me? Boy, you are the first person who dares to say that to me. Even though you mean it from your heart, it’s a pity because I heard it.
Now that I heard it, how can your kid still have a good time?
Save the country and the people? Rise the country? Is that something that happens overnight? If you can do it within ten years, then you are considered very good.
Can we save the country and the people by building a school? If this is possible, how can it be possible for our mighty Dragon Dynasty to perish?
I have put in a lot of hard work and thought over this matter, but I still don't have a definite result. You are the only one who dares to speak so brazenly.
The emperor is calm on the surface, but inside he is already furious. It has been fifteen years. Does anyone know how much he has overpaid in the past fifteen years?
Only with enough troops can we face the crisis that will break out.
Long Lin's eyes rolled around and he spoke again.
"Father, this matter is very important. If there are not so many, I will think of a way. Just 150,000 taels will be enough."
Long Lin rolled his eyes several times, and a wry smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
[Fortunately, I was smart enough to keep an eye on it. As expected, this matter of money is really laborious. 】
[If I had said 150,000 taels from the beginning, I would not have said a word. Where can I go to find the money? 】
[The majestic emperor, the head of a country, is so arrogant, acting like an uncle selling vegetables in a vegetable market, and he still has to bargain. 】
[Just 150,000 taels will be enough, no less. If it’s any less, I really can’t get it.]
Long Lin looked at his father eagerly, waiting for his father to agree.
When the emperor heard this, his eyes immediately widened.
Fortunately, I didn't say a word. If I agreed straight away, wouldn't this kid have 50,000 taels in his hands?
I really didn't realize that this guy dared to raise the price at his place, and even added an extra fifty thousand taels.
It's a nice thought. Even if you only need 150,000 taels, the current household expenditure is huge, so you really don't have it. You can think of a way on your own.
"No, the Ministry of Finance doesn't have that much spare money in total right now."
Huh? When Long Lin heard this, he was dumbfounded.
[Isn’t it possible? A dignified imperial court doesn’t have such a small amount of money? Did this father-in-law do it on purpose? 】
[What should we do now? It’s not enough to have fewer problems. It has to be completed within a year. The time is tight and the tasks are heavy. There is no money. What should we do? 】
[Impossible, why shouldn’t the imperial court be so poor? What have you done with the money? Why can’t you get so little money out of it?]
Long Lin was struggling in his heart, his eyes full of prayer.
The emperor listened in his heart and was filled with helplessness.
What does this guy think of the imperial court? The imperial court's money is limited to begin with. With so much money to build a house, there really is no spare money now.
The emperor just looked at Long Lin quietly. He had no choice. The court's expenses were huge and there was not much money left.
Over the years, he has invested almost all of his money in military camps. Military camps are the way to save the country.
Long Lin blinked his eyes, showing a pitiful expression.
"Father, how much can you give me?"
Long Lin didn't have a good idea, so that all the money would be in the hands of the emperor.
"Twenty thousand taels should be enough to build a few houses. Is it too much?"
"How much? How much can we cover with 20,000 taels? Father, this is too big a difference. Nothing can be done at all."
Seeing the pitiful look on Long Lin's face, the emperor's expression was calm and indifferent.
He seriously suspected that this boy was just pretending to look like this. Why don't he just build some houses? If not for his own use? Why is he in such a hurry?
"It can't be helped if it's not enough. Now the imperial treasury is in short supply. Once famine breaks out in various places, even this won't be enough to solve the problem."
"You want to build a school, I don't object, but we don't have that much money, so you can build as much as you can."
Long Lin gritted his teeth and had no intention of giving up at all.
"Father, it's too little. Twenty thousand taels is not enough at all. It's too much. You're so generous. Please give me more. One hundred thousand taels, one hundred thousand taels will be enough."
