"Master, Hu Hai understands!"
"Alright, from today onwards, you are my student, Li Lin. I, Li Lin, don't have many requirements, only one: no conflicts are allowed among fellow disciples. If I discover any conflicts among fellow disciples, I will personally intervene and clean up the mess!"
"Hu Hai understands!"
"Alright, I have important matters to attend to today, so I don't have time to teach you or answer your questions. How about this: tomorrow afternoon, after noon, I'll have some free time. Come to the Prime Minister's residence to find me if you're free!"
"Um!"
Hu Hai nodded, then performed the standard disciple's salute with utmost respect before leaving the Construction Bureau with his entourage.
Watching him leave.
Li Lin finally let out a breath of relief, and his whole body relaxed.
At this moment, Mo Zhiyuan walked over and, seeing Li Lin's exhausted appearance, asked curiously, "Master, since Prince Huhai has become your disciple and His Majesty has bestowed upon you a title, shouldn't you be full of energy? Why are you so tired instead?"
"Alas, you have no idea! His Majesty is treating me like a superhero. Look at my schedule. I have to get up at the crack of dawn to review the memorials from yesterday's ministers, hand them over to the Censorate for review, and then submit them to His Majesty. That takes up the whole morning. There's not even enough time for a quick lunch. I have to deal with all sorts of bizarre questions from the Nine Ministers. Just this alone has exhausted me."
"In addition, I am also in charge of the Construction Department. I was not originally required to manage the Construction Department, but Zhang Han, that good-for-nothing, is always unreliable. I am really worried about him and can't leave without personally supervising him. In the afternoon, I also served as the Vice Censor-in-Chief at the Censorate. I often need to organize materials, and it would be bad if I didn't go. Besides, His Majesty has not removed me from this position."
"That's fine, but the blame lies with Li Si. In his younger days, he insisted on taking charge of the Court of Justice as Prime Minister. Now look what's happened; he's dragged me into this mess. I have to sign documents every few days, and before each signature, I have to review the specific cases. It's driving me crazy. Now they've even given me the position of Grand Tutor, making me educate the two young masters. I..."
As Li Lin spoke, he almost burst into tears.
Throughout history, those who serve as prime ministers, especially those who wield absolute power, have generally worked tirelessly day and night.
Where can we find rest?
The Qin State Bank was originally scheduled to open today, but he couldn't get away today and had to postpone the date.
"My dear teacher, your work schedule is indeed quite heavy, and you bear a heavy burden!"
As Mo Zhiyuan listened, he couldn't help but cast an envious glance at him.
This made Li Lin very sad.
[Damn it, I'm so tired, and you still look envious. My goodness, being the prime minister is so exhausting, how can anyone be so envious!]
"Sigh, never mind, you still don't quite understand what I'm saying!"
“Master, please don’t be modest. You have done a lot, but it concerns the well-being of all people. So what if you are a little tired? So many people in the world envy your current position. Master, please don’t say that being the prime minister is hard. If someone with ulterior motives hears this and spreads rumors to frame you, it will be troublesome!”
"What do I have to fear? Wait, right, three days have passed already, haven't they? Why haven't they sent any money yet?"
"My dear teacher, what are you saying?"
"This has little to do with you. You take good care of these banknotes that are being produced. I have some things to take care of!"
"promise!"
Li Lin hurriedly stood up.
Just now, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration and remembered that the group of people at Ba's Restaurant had agreed to give him 90% of the profits within three days.
But today is already the third day.
Why is there no sound at all?
He immediately left the construction office, got into his carriage, and quickly returned to the Prime Minister's residence.
As soon as he entered the mansion, he shouted at Xiang Yu and his nephew beside him: "Xia Jie, Xia Liang, you've been wandering the world for many years, do you still have any brothers you know? Call more men for me, tonight, I'm going to let some people see blood!"
"Huh? Your Excellency, who do you intend to kill?"
"Kill those who deserve to die, Xia Liang. I know you have some contact information for people in the martial arts world. Go and invite them now, as many as you can. Anyone who comes to help me, whether they are involved or not, will be rewarded with 1,000 coins. Those who are involved will be rewarded according to their contribution, with a minimum of 5 strings of cash!"
"Alright, since Your Excellency is so generous, then I, Xia Liang, will go all out and go fetch people for you right away!"
"snort!"
Watching Xiang Liang's departing figure, Li Lin couldn't help but sneer, "How dare you play tricks on me? Do you really think I'm a persimmon that you can squeeze whenever you want?"
