"Uncle, how much money would it cost to build such a big palace?"
When the two of them walked out of the palace, Lao Fang pointed to a palace not far away and asked.
Li Yi glanced at the palace and said, "No amount of money will do."
"Why?" Lao Fang was stunned for a moment and asked quickly.
"Only the royal family can build this kind of palace. If anyone else builds it, they will exceed the limit and lose their heads." The royal family has many rules. There are rules for what kind of people, what kind of carriages to ride, and what kind of houses to build. If you exceed these rules,
If you follow the rules, others may wonder if you want to rebel, which is even more stupid than hiding a dragon robe at home.
Lao Fang thought for a while and asked: "Can we find a place to build it secretly?"
"no."
Changde, who was walking in front, refused, and the old man's budding dream was shattered.
…
…
The matter of checking the accounts seems to have really become a big deal. Although several students from the School of Accountancy who assisted the Yushitai in checking the accounts can no longer continue the investigation due to injuries and illnesses, His Majesty's determination to eliminate corrupt officials has not changed at all because of this incident.
.
The Secret Intelligence Service went out overnight, going up to the Sixth Department and down to the local county government, and packed up all the accounts and sent them to the School of Accountancy. Even the places that had been inspected before had to be checked again. They watched the account books being packed into boxes after boxes.
Move away, I don’t know how many officials have super fast heartbeats.
This night was destined to be a sleepless night for many officials in the DPRK.
At the same time, the surveillance of all city gates in Kyoto suddenly became stricter. Every gate was guarded by no less than a hundred guards, and people entering and exiting the city were closely inspected.
The atmosphere in today's morning was particularly dull.
Except for a few innocuous local reports, the courtiers all stood obediently in their positions without saying a word. As usual, the emperor announced his withdrawal from the court after several inquiries.
The officials who came down from the court were no longer talking as loudly, chatting and laughing as in the past, and they were all in a hurry. When they left the palace, they would look in a certain direction involuntarily. Counting the figures of a thousand guards at the entrance of the college, they were still vaguely identifiable.
come out.
When I looked up, there seemed to be thick dark clouds in the clear and cloudless sky, oppressing me and making me breathless.
…
…
Qin family.
"madness!"
Qin Yan slapped the table and said angrily: "I just participated in this matter without thinking through the pros and cons, and actually protected the guilty minister... Do you know that all the accounts you checked this morning have been
Sent to arithmetic academy again!"
"If you are found out, you are all protecting your own cronies. This is the crime of deceiving the emperor!"
Looking at his extremely furious uncle, Qin Feng's originally pale face turned even paler, and then he felt the world spin for a while. After his vision went dark, he no longer had any consciousness.
"Feng'er, Feng'er..."
A middle-aged woman's expression changed and she hurriedly walked to the bed...
"There is a Bao Qingtian in Kaifeng, who is unselfish in distinguishing between loyal and traitors..." In the small garden of the Qin Mansion, the fifth master of the Qin family was drinking a small drink, occasionally pinching a bean and putting it in his mouth, shaking his head.
"Fifth Master, where is Kaifeng?" A big man stood behind him and asked doubtfully.
"It's sung in the opera. The devil knows where this place is." The fifth master of the Qin family said without raising his head: "Don't doze off in the hook bar from now on and ruin the fifth master's interest..."
The big man nodded repeatedly. The fifth master liked to listen to operas very much. I heard that his favorite concubine was an actor, but she later died for unknown reasons. However, this hobby of the fifth master has never changed.
The fifth master of the Qin family suddenly sighed and said: "Feng'er, this kid, is still too simple-minded. If he becomes an official in the future, he will probably be eaten to the bone."
After a pause, he added: "However, I'm afraid he won't have the chance to be an official in the future..."
Zeng family.
"Idiot, look what stupid things you have done!" Zeng Shichun, the head of the Zeng family and the right minister of household affairs, slapped his son in the face, with a particularly ferocious expression on his face.
"Covering? Who do you think you are!"
"I still want credit, but I have no credit at all. Do you know what this is? This is bullying the emperor, and it is not an exaggeration to say that you will lose your head!"
When Zeng Zijian heard this, big beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, and his whole body trembled like chaff.
Cui family.
Chen family.
Feng family.
Han family.
"Li Yi!" Several high officials in the court said these two words through gritted teeth after scolding their heirs.
After gnashing his teeth for a while, his anger turned into deep regret.
After all, the academy shouldn't have begged His Majesty to let them in!
…
…
"Half of the children from powerful families have taken sick leave?" Li Yi put down the book and looked up.
A certain doctor from the School of Calculation quickly said: "Yes, Mr. Dean, there are less than thirty people who returned to the school today."
Li Yi waved his hand and said: "Then let's give the remaining people a few days off. It just so happens that the college is busy with things these days, and they can't be of much help."
As soon as he finished speaking, a general of the Forbidden Army came out from outside, clasped his fists and said, "Master Li, all the accounts have been delivered."
"Thank you for your hard work." Li Yi stood up and said with a smile.
The leader of the imperial guard was flattered and said quickly: "According to the order of the emperor, this is our duty. Mr. Li is serious."
At this time, at the door of the classroom of the School of Calculation, all the students from poor families with sixty-six lives had gathered.
"This is your first opportunity to serve the imperial court. What you have to do is to carefully check these account books. Every time you find a problematic account, you can accumulate one credit. This point will be reserved for the end of semester evaluation.
use……"
With his hands behind his back, Li Han walked around in front of many students, saying something loudly, occasionally stopping to look at his palms before continuing to speak.
All the students from poor families showed excited expressions on their faces. This was the first time they had the opportunity to put their knowledge to use, not to mention getting credits. They didn't have to worry about final exams, and they could also make contributions to the court.
I have been eager to try it for a long time.
At this moment, no one has the slightest grudge against the eleven sons of officials and noble families who monopolized this opportunity.
Poisoning, filling with fecal water, breaking a leg, being hit by a carriage... It turns out that going out for internships is so dangerous. So, isn't this a kind of protection from the dean to their poor students?
Mr. Dean, you have really good intentions!
Now they can sit in the School of Calculation, and there are so many guards outside to protect them, all of which were fought for by the dean. Even if those corrupt officials wanted to take revenge, they would not be able to do so.
Thinking of this and looking at the figure walking from the side, everyone's faces were filled with deep gratitude.
"Time is running out. Everyone, cheer up and complete all accounts within three days." Li Yi walked to the front of the crowd, looked at them and said, "Are you confident?"
"have!"
Everyone's answers were loud and clear.
Not long after, the entire arithmetic academy was enveloped by the crackling sound of colliding arithmetic beads.
And every official who passed by the School of Calculation couldn't help but feel depressed.
It seems calm outside, but everyone knows that there is a storm brewing inside that can sweep the entire court.
Once the gate of the academy is opened, what will be released is the terrifying wind and thunder!
