Lin Fan was speechless. How could these officials be so willing?
So much money was sent at once!
Could it be!
Lin Fan thought about the privileges he asked Emperor Chongzhen for. These officials were already afraid of this, plus he had arrested Shen Yansong last night.
As soon as these things came out, officials were worried that they would find out about them, so they simply spent money to ward off the trouble, so that when they went to check on them themselves, they wouldn't find any money.
"I don't have any money left here. I'll send someone to take it away soon."
Lin Fan said.
Nalan Yanran looked at Lin Fan and said, "Do you want to take all this money to Baihu Si Yamen?"
"how do you know?"
Lin Fan looked at Nalan Yanran and said.
"Such a large amount of money was given as a gift by officials. If you put it in the Lin Mansion, wouldn't you be giving people an excuse?
If you put it in the Baihu Si Yamen, it will still be yours anyway, but the other officials have nothing to say."
Nalan Yanran said.
"You are quite smart, little girl, but you take things too lightly. I have no intention of keeping the money. I will probably spend it in the next two days."
Lin Fan said in a deep voice.
However, Lin Fan couldn't help but sigh when he thought about how Sun Buer, an old guy, had been crying and screaming when he saw him these days, saying that there was no more money in the treasure house.
Let's leave two million taels of this money to Sun Buer, so as to give him something to do.
Thinking of this, Lin Fan returned to Baihusi Yamen again. It took a whole day just to transfer the money. The silver went into Baihusi, two million taels were sent to the secret room, and the rest was stored in the warehouse.
Next, it’s time to go to the arsenal.
Lin Fan brought Nalan Yanran to the arsenal. At this time, a group of workers were surrounding a steam engine. This thing was as big as half a house and had a strange shape. The workers didn't know the use of this thing yet, so naturally they wanted to Watch carefully.
Lin Fan walked over, and Ouyeye saw it, and hurriedly came over and said: "Sir, I am lucky that I have lived up to my fate and finally made this engine!"
"However, because the villain is not good at craftsmanship, the size of this steam engine is a bit larger. Please don't be angry. The villain will find a way to reduce it in the future."
The normal size of this steam engine should be half a person's height. Now it is taller than me. However, it is a good thing that it can be built.
The bigger it is, the more powerful it is. As for what kind of car it should be placed on, there are very few cars in this era, and there are not many pedestrians on the official road.
Just build a super large truck yourself. If that doesn't work, just build a train. If you can transport goods in large quantities, that would be a good thing.
"Very good! What you made is quite good. Just follow this and make a hundred of them for me."
Lin Fan said.
Ahem!
Ouyeye was so frightened that he coughed dryly and said, "Sir, it costs more than 100,000 taels of silver to make one of these things. If you make a hundred of them, that's 10 million taels!"
"kindness?
Is it so cheap?
How do you know that I just earned 10 million taels of silver?
I'll have someone send it to you in a moment, and you need to speed up the process of making this engine."
Lin Fan said.
Forehead……
Ouyeye was dumbfounded. He could guess the purpose of this thing, but how to build a car that matched it was another matter.
I'm not even sure how to build a car, so it's child's play to ask me to produce such a valuable thing and produce a thousand of them!
Nalan Yanran also looked at Lin Fan as if he were a fool. If you produce a hundred pieces of such an expensive thing, do you still think it is cheap?
