Chapter 45 Let Me Take a Look

45

"I will not have anyone else except you." Fu Jiangyu wiped the tears from his face, "Whatever you want, I will help you."

"Building schools so that all people have the opportunity to study, isn't it for myself? Isn't it for our Jin State? Isn't it for you?" Lin Baige lay in his arms, looking at him pitifully: "I treat you as my husband, but you have never treated me as your lover. I am just an insignificant concubine. There are so many beauties in this world. If someone presents you with a beauty one day, Your Majesty will definitely forget me."

"I will give an order right now, no one is allowed to offer beauties to me." Fu Jiangyu didn't expect that Lin Baige would be so worried about gains and losses. Lin Baige loved him so much.

"I thought Your Majesty would say that I was the most beautiful woman in the world, but it turns out Your Majesty also thinks there are people prettier than me." Lin Baige pouted and pretended to be disappointed. "Your Majesty, please choose a concubine. As long as it is good for Your Majesty, I will support it."

"If you support me, why are you pouting?" Fu Jiangyu leaned over and kissed him on the mouth.

Lin Baige felt his breath spraying on her neck. The atmosphere was a little too ambiguous, so she quickly moved to the side: "Your Majesty's selection of a concubine will also benefit me. Let me rest more. My butt can't stand it anymore."

"Does your butt hurt?" Fu Jiangyu asked him with a smile, "Let me take a look."

"What are you looking at? Your Majesty doesn't think I'm the most beautiful person in the world, so what are you looking at? Go find your beauty." Lin Baige hugged the quilt tightly, "Your Majesty, please don't come to see me in the future. If there is no other way, please let me leave the palace. For the sake of my parents, don't let me die alone in the palace."

"Who do you want to find when you leave the palace? Do you want to change men?" Fu Jiangyu pulled him over: "Remember, you are mine, and you can only be mine."

Lin Baige: “…” As expected of the emperor, he is so domineering.

Fu Jiangyu: "In my eyes, you are the most beautiful woman in the world. Now I will give you the title of the most beautiful woman in the world."

Lin Baige: “Ah?”

Fu Jiangyu: "I will now issue an imperial decree to announce to the world that you are the most beautiful woman in the world."

Lin Baige: "Ah? Don't..."

Fu Jiangyu: "This is the only way to let the world know how important you are to me."

"Otherwise, give me some money. True love does not need to be proved to others, you just need to prove it to me." Lin Baige stretched out his hand with a smile. Anyway, his purpose today was to ask Fu Jiangyu for money to build a school, and, he didn't want to do anything else today.

"You want to build a school?" Fu Jiangyu asked him, "Do you know that this is more difficult than the imperial examination? How can the people go to school when they can't even afford to eat and wear clothes? Wait until the people's lives are better, then we can think about building a school."

"Once the sweet potatoes and yams are harvested, they will be promoted throughout the country in three to five years. By then, we can solve part of the food shortage problem, and we won't have to worry about food anymore," Lin Baige was very confident about the output of sweet potatoes and yams. "Besides, we are building schools now, which requires a lot of craftsmen. Doesn't this provide jobs? After the schools are built, we need teachers, which provides some jobs. And when we open paper mills and printing plants, we provide a lot of jobs, so that more people have employment opportunities. This is much better than directly giving money. If you give money directly, you may cultivate their habit of getting something for nothing, but if you provide jobs with funds, you let them earn money with their own hands. The nature is completely different."

"Once this paper is made, it can not only be used in our own country, but also exported to the other three countries. The current papermaking technology is not good enough. Our paper is of better quality and can be sold at a high price. Who knows, people in other countries may rush to use it." When Lin Baige said this, he suddenly felt that such expensive paper would not be valued if it was given away for free. "I have to talk to Lord Zhang tomorrow and make the free paper rougher to minimize the cost so that the high-quality paper can be sold normally."

Fu Jiangyu pinched his chin and made him look at him: "I noticed that when I mentioned these things, you kept talking non-stop. You looked so excited, are you happier than serving me in bed?"

Lin Baige felt a pang of pain in his buttocks when he heard about sleeping with his majesty. "Your Majesty doesn't keep his word. He said he would give me everything I wanted, but he refused me over and over again because of a school issue. I don't want to sleep with your majesty anymore."

Fu Jiangyu hugged him lovingly and said, "Okay, I promise you, but first I'll let you open a school in a county near the capital. If you do well, we'll talk about it later."
