Upon hearing that the newly opened agricultural and commercial college needed funding, all the ministers turned their heads away from the Master. Even His Majesty the Emperor, who had just been full of excitement, slowly turned around and walked towards the throne as if nothing had happened.

When the master saw this scene, he was not angry but smiled, and said: "Since your majesty and your lords have no objections, I will treat it as your lords' consent. After retreating from the court, I will let the disciples of the Fengjiang Academy go to your house to raise funds.

, when the time comes, please don’t be stingy, adults.

"Stingy." The master seemed to have thought of something again, and continued: "In order to prevent the gang of bastards in the Fengjiang Academy from embezzling, I will ask them to write down in the register how much silver each person gave, and please be sure to sign your name.

, everything is public!”

Emperor Zhu Chengyuan looked at his master's serious look and wanted to laugh but was afraid that he would suddenly notice him.

However, Lai Si didn't take it seriously. He stood up from the queue of civil servants, took out a hundred taels of silver notes and handed it to the master. He said proudly: "This is a great thing for the country and the people. I, Lai Si, will be the first to support it.

"

The master smiled and took the bank note from Lai Si, held it up in the air and shook it again and again, as if he was afraid that others would not know it was one hundred taels. He turned to look at Li Xianlai, the chief minister of the cabinet who was standing still, and said: "

Mr. Li, how about you, the chief assistant, and

The second assistant gave everyone a warning. Lai Si gave one hundred taels. I asked my disciples to come and pick up the remaining one hundred taels. I can’t let Mr. Lai send it to my learned residence by himself. Mr. Li can’t compare with Lai no matter what.

This guy Si is inferior."

The one who was surprised was not Li who came first, but Lai Si, who had not yet returned to the queue. He originally thought that sooner or later he would have to gain a good reputation, but now it's better. This old master's face is no thinner than his!

Li Xianlai looked at Mr. Weng awkwardly and said with a smile: "Master, please don't make fun of me. Two hundred taels of silver is not a small amount. Please allow me to go home and ask my wife for instructions." Everyone knows that the cabinet is grand and powerful.

Chief Assistant Li Xianlai Mr. Li is famous for his strict control over his wife. Except for doing things for His Majesty, he has to ask his wife for instructions before he can agree to anything else.

The master smiled and said: "It should be, it should be, I will ask the disciples from Fengjiang Academy to go to your house later."

At this time, Lai Si said: "Master, these one hundred taels of mine are all my property. Please don't let your disciples go to my house to ask for them again."

As soon as Lai Si finished speaking, Xiu Wen, the imperial censor at the Yushitai, stood up, bowed to His Majesty the Emperor and Master, and said: "Master, Master Lai, I borrowed these one hundred taels from him before. Before I went to court, I

Just returned it to him."

The master looked at Lai Si with great interest and said: "Lai Si, I can give you one hundred taels of silver directly for the loan. Your family is really rich. So, just donate another two hundred taels of silver."

Lai Si applied with embarrassment on her face, thinking that this essay was really a piece of cake. She was obviously trying to avenge her daughter who had just been elected to receive envoys from other countries. The emperor watched all this silently, and when he met his wife's eyes,

From that moment on, I knew something was wrong, so I immediately turned to look at the chief minister, Qiu Sihai, and said, "Qiu Sihai, please retreat from the court."

The imperial minister Qiu Sihai had been with the emperor for twenty years. How could he not know the emperor's thoughts? He immediately shouted: "If there is something to do, leave the court!"

The master leaned over and said, "Old minister, I have something to report."

Everyone looked at the Master's serious look and thought that the Master was going to say something important, so they all fell silent and waited for the Master's words.

"Your Majesty, since everyone in the Agricultural and Commercial College has no objections, I have an idea that I don't know whether to talk about or not." The Master said.

"Sir, please." His Majesty the Emperor said immediately.

"Although your Majesty will also donate money, I still want to ask for your Majesty's word again." Master said.

The emperor turned to look at Qiu Sihai and said: "Qiu Sihai, go get pen, ink, paper and inkstone."
