Li Yi was flipping through the account books at home, and Li Xuan stood in front of him with a haggard look.
The Academy of Sciences is about to open, but he hasn't even solved the problem of military rations. It's strange that he's not in a hurry.
"take it."
Li Yi took out a book from the drawer and threw it over. He paid the price of an acne and stayed up late to write it. It was full of modern military ration ideas, specific production methods, and the sealing issue.
describe.
Some modern methods are impossible to achieve, and the available methods are very limited. Fortunately, it is not impossible. Just find the right direction and overcome one or two technical difficulties.
This is not a difficult task for Li Xuan, who has a lot of skilled craftsmen at his disposal.
Not long after, Li Xuan walked out of the room with a relaxed expression, but was pulled over by the tsundere loli guarding the door.
"Brother Xuan, I want to ask you something. You are not allowed to lie to me." She glanced inside the room and whispered.
"What's going on?" Li Xuan looked confused.
The tsundere loli pulled him to the corner and asked, "Sir, was he snatched back by sister Ruyi to get married?"
Li Xuan looked at her and said, "Why do you ask this?"
"Just say it, right?" Tsundere Loli twisted her body and said.
Li Xuan nodded and asked again: "Yes, what's wrong?"
"It's really a robbery..."
The tsundere loli opened her eyes wide at first, then glanced into the room again, then narrowed her eyes, looking thoughtful.

In recent days, the atmosphere in the court has been somewhat depressing.
The information revealed by the Imperial Medical Office shows that His Majesty's health is deteriorating and the situation is not optimistic.
Emperors are terrible, and an emperor who is about to reach his end is even more terrible.
This fear is directly reflected in several recent iron-blooded measures taken by the Secret Service.
The last corruption case involving the Minister of Punishment involved one hundred thousand taels of silver. It was a rare major corruption case in recent years. Zhao Guangyuan, the Minister of Punishment, is still imprisoned in Dali Temple, and these days, confessions have been made from his mouth
There were a lot of them, including two fifth-rank officials, and they were all purged one by one by the Secret Service. For a time, everyone in the court was in danger.
Of course, there are degrees of self-danger.
The most frightening among them are of course the Shu kings.
Zhao Guangyuan, the Minister of Punishment, had always had close ties with the King of Shu, and his friends were naturally officials from the King of Shu's line.
However, after he was arrested for corruption this time, His Majesty issued an imperial edict that if he confessed to someone, his punishment would be reduced by a few points. It is said that the punishment Mr. Zhao deserves has changed from beheading to 530 years in prison.
If we work harder and confess a few more national bugs, we may have a chance to see the light of day again in our lifetime.
As a result, some officials of the Shu king's line had their homes confiscated and those who should be imprisoned were imprisoned. All their property was returned to the national treasury. According to a rough estimate, within a few months, there were at least hundreds of thousands of taels in the national treasury.
His Majesty is obviously not satisfied with this. This time, he seems to be determined to track down the corrupt people in the capital. This time, the Yushitai was ordered to inspect the account books of various government departments in order to pick out the moths one by one. This order
After leaving, countless officials in the capital panicked.
…
…
"Three hundred thousand taels is still far from enough." Emperor Jing took a sip of the pear soup and said with a frown.
Qin Huan, the Minister of Household Affairs, sighed and said: "Like Zhao Guangyuan, the Minister of Justice, who was greedy for one hundred thousand taels of silver, but dared not spend a penny. In this case, the few people he confessed had already squandered the money they had gained.
After everything was wiped out, what is left is just the figure that the Secret Service calculated after converting their property when they ransacked their homes under orders."
"Father, the accounts of the inner palace are correct." Li Han, who was sitting aside and had been fiddling with his abacus, suddenly put down his abacus and stretched his waist and said.
"So fast?" Emperor Jing asked in surprise.
Li Han smiled sheepishly, rattled the abacus, and said, "The abacus made by Mr. is easy to use. The government's accounting regulations are clear and it doesn't take much effort."
Emperor Jing nodded. The inner government is the department that manages the palace and royal expenses. The accounts are under his supervision, so it is indeed unlikely that there will be any major mistakes.
Before checking the accounts, it would take the three of them at least five days to check all the accounts, and Han'er, from the time he moved the thing called the "abacus", it was less than two hours, right?
I wanted to ask a few more questions, but there was a eunuch reporting outside the door, and the censor, Ma Zhongcheng, asked to see him.
The Yushitai had just received his order yesterday to check the account books of the various yamen in Kyoto. Ma Zhongcheng should have come for this matter. Emperor Jing waved his hand and said: "Xuan!"
Ma Zhongcheng walked in from the outside, first saluted Emperor Jing, and then said: "The Yushitai is ordered by His Majesty to check the account books of various yamen in Beijing, but the arithmetic skills of the Yushi are not high. In order to complete your Majesty's task as soon as possible, I
I would like to ask for a decree from His Majesty and borrow a few students from the School of Accountancy to assist the Yushitai in auditing the accounts."
A certain dean once said that if the court is useful to get a place to count the students of the college, it can speak out. Things like checking accounts should be left to people who specialize in arithmetic. As for the Yushitai, it can only play a supervisory role.
.
"That's right." Emperor Jing glanced sideways and said, "Han'er, please select some students from the School of Calculation to assist the Yushitai."
Li Han raised his head and said: "Father, if students from the college go out for internships and help the court to get credits, they must be signed by the dean."
After hearing this, Emperor Jing waved his hand to Ma Zhongcheng and said, "In that case, you can go find Li Yi yourself."
Hearing this, Ma Zhongcheng could only retreat helplessly.
The reason why he came to see His Majesty first was because he was worried that the uncle of Li County would ask for huge remuneration from them. The censorship station was Qingshui Yamen, and the censors were all very poor. How could there be any remuneration to pay them?
He sighed, since His Majesty said so, he could only try his luck first.
…
…
"Borrowing someone?"
After listening to Ma Zhongcheng in front of him, Li Yi nodded and said, "How many people do you want?"
Ma Zhongcheng looked at him and asked tentatively: "Dean Li, how should the students' remuneration be calculated?"
Li Yi waved his hand and said: "If they have the opportunity to contribute to the imperial court, that is their duty, no matter how much remuneration..."
Ma Zhongcheng was stunned for a moment, and when he looked at Li Yi again, he immediately felt a deep sense of guilt in his heart.
Uncle Li is a real gentleman. I had guessed him like this before. I was really judging a gentleman with a villain's heart. It was so inappropriate!
"It only takes ten people." Ma Zhongcheng said, cupping his hands.
"It's not good to have one left. Let's round it up and give you eleven." Li Yi thought for a while and said.
"Is there one left?" Ma Zhongcheng looked at him doubtfully.
"This is not important." Li Yi waved his hand and said, "Anyway, I'll give you eleven people."
Ten to eleven, Ma Zhongcheng felt even more guilty. With a look of shame on his face, he raised his hands and said, "Thank you very much, Dean Li. I will definitely speak kindly to Dean Li in front of His Majesty..."
"Ma Zhongcheng is so polite..." Li Yi smiled and said, "Eating your salary and sharing your worries are what we should do."
