"Oh? That 'Thirty-Six Stratagems' was really just something an adult scribbled down?"
"That's for sure. I don't lie. I have plenty of military strategies that are better than the Thirty-Six Stratagems in my mind. The reason I wrote them down is twofold: firstly, they are too boring, and secondly, they are written in a way that is easy to understand and can be given to most generals. In this way, the generals' military skills will be greatly improved. By the way, I will propose to His Majesty tomorrow morning at court that a military academy be built, called the Military Academy, to teach the generals some knowledge and theory."
"What? Does Your Excellency truly intend to do so?"
"Yes, there will be many wars to fight in the future. At least during my lifetime, I will definitely be able to personally land in Japan and experience the exotic customs."
As Li Lin spoke, he realized that he had exaggerated a bit.
Oh dear, why did I boast to the military genius Han Xin? Luckily, I still remember some military tactics, like mobile warfare. I can't reveal all of these to Han Xin now, otherwise, I'll have nothing to say to him later, which would be incredibly embarrassing.
"Fuso?"
Han Xin's eyes lit up. Although he didn't mention the name on the surface, he kept it in his heart.
A place that even a prime minister of such extraordinary stature would talk about.
It must be a very strange country.
Where is Fusang?
Could it be the Xiongnu?
Or is it above the Xiongnu?
What is it about Japan that makes the Prime Minister so concerned?
Exotic atmosphere?
Could she be a local woman?
"Han Xin, this house looks quite nice. Let's buy it. It's perfect timing. My residence is less than a hundred paces away. If you have any questions, it will be easy for us to contact each other!"
"Wow? Such a big house?"
Han Xin was dumbfounded. The house in front of him was quite large; in later times, it would be at least the size of a football field.
In front of the mansion gate, there are still blurry words of the title "Central Chariot Mansion Commander".
It appears to be the former residence of Zhao Gao.
"Hey, sir, I'm not just spouting nonsense, but you've really hit the jackpot buying such a mansion for 100,000 gold! If the owner hadn't died and his son-in-law hadn't been trying to recoup some money, he wouldn't have sold it for such a low price!"
The person standing in front of Li Lin and Han Xin was the official in charge of the houses in this area.
However, due to their lowly status, they always treated those who bought houses with utmost respect, never daring to use their official authority to intimidate them. Otherwise, if others were dissatisfied and didn't buy their houses, they would suffer a huge loss.
"Oh? Son-in-law? Live-in son-in-law? Who was Zhao Gao's son-in-law again? I think it was Yan Le? He's quite clever, knowing that if this mansion isn't sold like this, no one will buy it, hehe."
Li Lin smiled upon hearing this. To be honest, he was very satisfied with the house and had taken a special stroll around inside earlier.
to be honest.
The house was much larger than the one his own brother Li Xin had bought for him with 200,000 gold coins, which Li Xin had spent half his life savings on, not to mention the decorations inside.
This house.
If sold at a normal price under normal circumstances, it would probably fetch no less than ten million.
but.
Because of Zhao Gao, let alone tens of millions, even 100,000 gold pieces were rarely asked for.
After all, the army isn't stupid. What if they get into trouble after taking over?
"Your Excellency, this house is too expensive. Let alone 100,000 gold coins, even 100 gold coins wouldn't be enough for me to buy it!"
Han Xin heard the price.
Their expression immediately changed.
He's currently penniless, a complete poor guy, where would he get so much money to buy a house?
Therefore, he changed how he addressed Li Lin at this time.
"Oh, this is all small change. What is 100,000 gold coins to me? Fine, I'll lend it to you for now. After we formally report to His Majesty in court tomorrow morning, you can slowly repay the money with your salary!"
"this......"
Han Xin hesitated. He seemed worried about borrowing 100,000 gold coins, fearing that he wouldn't be able to repay it.
certainly.
For Li Lin, this was really a small amount of money.
Not to mention that the Li family was already wealthy, just the fact that he easily pocketed tens of thousands of taels of gold while working at the Construction Bureau, not to mention his salary.
Now that he is the prime minister, how could his salary be small?
Even without a salary, plenty of people would still try to bribe him.
For Li Lin, this was a no-brainer; after all, if he took the money but didn't do anything, it wouldn't count as bribery!
They're offering money voluntarily, how can I refuse it?
"Oh dear, what are you being so fussy about, Han Xin? Just accept it. I'm not in a hurry for this money. You can pay me back within ten years!"
"Your Excellency, you are truly a benefactor in my life! If you do not despise me, I am willing to become your disciple. Please do not refuse!"
"Hahaha, very well, very well. Since you are so sincere, then I will reluctantly agree to take you as my disciple!"
"Thank you so much, Your Excellency!"
To be honest, Han Xin's decision to become his disciple was a pleasant surprise and also unexpected.
The person selling the house was stunned. "My goodness! The young man in front of me is actually the Prime Minister! I was so blind to his talent, I missed such a great opportunity to get rich! If I had known he was the Prime Minister, I would have asked for a higher price."
