Lei Ming did not stop this time and continued to speak.
"Father, you are now asking him to repair the Ministry of Rites. This is completely opposite to what you thought back then."
"His behavior is undoubtedly questioning your decision back then. No minister in the court would agree."
"Presumably even the current emperor would not agree to his misbehavior."
"You give him money and ask him to do something contrary to your decision. The child can't understand this at all."
"Also, father, people die for wealth and birds die for food. This is an eternal truth. If Long Lin gets it easily the first time, he may get it a second time."
"Next time, if you don't have money, father, he will only resent you in his heart. It is far better to give him a little bit, which is more appropriate."
"In this way, every time he comes, we can give him some money. The salary of a local county magistrate is only as much as every year. What we give him is already a lot."
"Our Lei family has a great cause and has many descendants. Frankly speaking, although Long Lin is your grandson, his surname is Long after all."
"Father, the child has finished speaking."
These sixty thousand taels of silver grabbed Lei Ming's heart.
This made him completely unable to control himself, and there was no need for him to hide it when facing his own father.
Simply, he said everything that was on his mind.
This was his idea. If it were him, Long Lin would be able to take away at most 6,000 taels, and definitely not more than 10,000 taels.
Six thousand taels was already a huge sum, equivalent to ten years of his salary.
That's all, considering that Long Lin is a prince, if he is an ordinary relative, it should be a maximum of dozens of taels.
After he finished speaking, he looked at Lei Xiao, and Lei Xiao's eyes were also looking at him.
The father and son just looked at each other quietly and fell silent.
After a long time, Lei Ming could no longer bear the suppressed atmosphere.
"Father, if you have something to say, just say it, and your child will definitely listen."
Haha...hehe...
Lei Xiao suddenly laughed cheerfully. The laughter was not loud, but very peaceful.
This smile immediately left Lei Ming confused.
But he didn't ask, he knew his father would definitely give him some advice.
"Son, some people fight for money all their lives, but in the end it's all in vain."
"And some people do good deeds throughout their lives, and in the end they still have enough food and clothing."
"Some people do evil things and get a lot of money, but in the end they die and disappear from the world."
"Some people work hard to gain wealth, but their children and grandchildren are unfilial and the family is in trouble."
"Some people think they are smart, but they don't know that there is God's will in the world."
"All life is just living in self-righteousness, without knowing that people have thousands of calculations, but God has only one calculation."
"What is right? What is wrong? How many people can see through it? Can you understand it?"
Lei Ming was confused. There are tens of millions of people in the world, and there are countless different kinds of people. There are all kinds of people, so what's so strange about this?
"Father, my child doesn't understand, could you please make it clear?"
Lei Xiao straightened his face, his face serious.
"Child, let me ask you, whose do you think the sixty thousand taels of silver belong to?"
ha......
Lei Ming laughed instantly in his heart. Do you still need to ask him?
"Father, those sixty thousand taels of silver belong to you, father."
"Oh? You really think so?"
"That's for sure. It was originally yours, but now that it has changed hands and become Long Lin's, it is no longer yours."
"Then who owns these sixty thousand taels of silver?"
"If you don't give it to Long Lin, it must belong to you, father."
This time, Lei Ming spoke very firmly without any hesitation.
After hearing this, Lei Xiao smiled, very softly.
"So, son, if the silver belongs to my father, how could it disappear?"
"No, father, the silver has not disappeared. You gave the silver to Long Lin. After you gave it to Long Lin, the silver is gone."
Lei Xiao smiled, very calmly.
"If the child really belongs to his father, how could it disappear even if it was given to Long Lin?"
"Father, are you old and confused? You gave the money to others, so it just disappears."
Lei Xiao smiled again, very happily and very calmly.
He was not angry with Lei Ming, but Lei Ming was too young now and didn't understand at all. Everything was just what Lei Ming thought.
"No, father is not confused. It's just that you are too shallow."
This time, Lei Ming didn't talk back. He began to listen carefully, trying to figure out what his father's words meant.
"Father, please clarify, what exactly do you mean by this?"
Lei Xiao nodded, he had never thought of hiding it from his son.
"Child, everything in this world is determined, and the thing that determines all these things is your heart."
"If that money is really my father's money, then it will never disappear."
"Even if it is in Long Lin's hands now, the silver still belongs to your father and me. In the future, he will return to my hands in another form."
"Say this, kid, can you understand?"
Lei Ming nodded, then shook his head, his eyes even more confused.
"Father, the child seems to understand a little bit."
Lei Xiao nodded and continued to enlighten.
"If that sum of money does not belong to my father in the first place, then sooner or later it will escape from my father's hands, and I won't be able to keep it even if I want to."
"So, money is not a problem. As long as you use the money in the right place, it will be enough."
"It's my thing. No one else can take it away. Even if he takes it away temporarily, it will be lost in another form."
"After it is lost, it will definitely return to my hands in another form in the future."
Lei Ming showed a wry smile, somewhat unconvinced.
"Father, my child still can't accept your words for a while."
Lei Xiao did not refute, his expression was very calm.
"You don't believe it because you are too young. When you can figure it out one day, you may be able to understand everything."
"If you think more about these things, they will be of great help to you in life."
Lei Ming nodded.
"My child, there are many bad people in the world, and countless bad things happen in a person's life."
"But those who have committed many crimes will sooner or later be punished by the court. Even if they are lucky enough to escape, they will not be able to escape the laws of nature."
"No matter what happens, you should have a normal heart."
"This is your great ability to turn bad things that will happen for the better. After you let go of some ups and downs, you will understand when you look back many years later."
Lei Ming fell into deep thought and vaguely understood his father's thoughts.
