Chapter Two Hundred and Thirty Five: Being Sealed King of Shu
Everyone was shocked when they heard what the Minister of Household Affairs said.
In their opinion, it would be great if one of the numbers calculated by a group of primary school students in just eight days was correct.
And now, they only made three mistakes?
But it only took eight days. So, are these primary school students really more powerful than those officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs?
At this time, I heard King Liang say in a non-surprising manner: "But, Minister Lu, are we really wrong about these three figures? Couldn't it be that you are wrong?"
Lu Shilang said proudly: "How could it be that we made a mistake in our calculation? This must be your calculation that is wrong. When it comes to arithmetic, how can you compare with us officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs?"
Li Min smiled slightly, took out the account book of the Ministry of Accounts on the spot, pointed it to Mr. Lu and said: "Mr. Lu, please look here and calculate it carefully to see if the result is wrong."
Lu Shilang's face showed disdain at first, but soon, his face changed color, and before he knew it, there was a fine drop of sweat on his forehead.
Next to him, Li Min still asked with a half-smile, "Shilang Lu, what was the result?"
"This this……"
The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty misunderstood Lu Shilang's words. It seems that someone from the Ministry of Revenue really made the wrong calculation.
But, how is this possible?
Could it be that those elementary school students could really defeat the officials of the Ministry of Household Affairs?
Next to him, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue couldn't stand it any longer. He couldn't help but take the account book from the servant and verify it carefully.
After a while, the face of the Minister of Hube couldn't help but change color.
This account was indeed calculated incorrectly and they recorded the wrong figures without realizing it.
Next, Li Min took out two more account books and continued to point out their mistakes.
At this time, both Lu Shilang and the Minister of Hubu looked extremely ugly.
Unexpectedly, they were really beaten up by a group of primary school students, and they were crushed in all directions without blind spots.
This time, it was very embarrassing.
At this time, not only the civil and military officials, but also Li Shimin were deeply shocked.
Li Shimin couldn't help but ask: "Ming'er, are a bunch of elementary school students really better at arithmetic than the officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs?"
Are all the officials I elected just a bunch of idiots?
Can't even compare to a bunch of elementary school students?
Li Min smiled and said: "Father, this is absolutely true! Of course, this is not due to the lack of ability of the officials of the Ministry of Revenue. All of this is the result of the new arithmetic. With the new arithmetic, their calculation ability will be like this
Outstanding."
After listening to Li Min's words, Li Shimin couldn't help but sighed: "Actually, Wang Xiaotong had already submitted a memorial to apply to promote numbers and arithmetic symbols throughout the Tang Dynasty. However, I failed to see the amazing features of numbers and symbols at that time.
, suppressed this matter."
"Now it seems that this was my oversight! I have decided to immediately promote numbers and arithmetic symbols throughout the Tang Dynasty, and in the future, they will be included in arithmetic examination questions. Officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs, you will take turns to go to primary schools.
Learn arithmetic! Being crushed by a bunch of primary school students, let alone you, makes me feel ashamed!"
Li Shimin's words made the officials of the Ministry of Household Affairs feel hot on their faces, and they wished they could slip in under their feet and never come out again.
It was really embarrassing in front of the civil and military officials of the court.
At this time, Li Min went on to say: "I tell my father, this time the calculation of the accounts is that I won. In this case, it is enough to prove that when the flood comes, I am absolutely sure that the city of Chang'an will not be flooded.
Only then can the water channel be opened."
"If this is the case, then the officials headed by Wang Yushi have made false accusations against my son! I ask my father to punish them for the crime of false accusation!"
After listening to Li Min's words, Li Shimin couldn't help but look at Wang Xin and asked with a half-smile: "Wang Aiqing, what else do you have to say?"
Wang Xin said helplessly: "My lord, I have nothing to say."
The ability shown by Li Min, the king of Liang, really makes Wang Xin irrefutable.
Unexpectedly, their dignified family was suppressed by the King of Liang alone.
Li Shimin said solemnly: "Thanks to King Liang for this flood! If it hadn't been for King Liang, tens of thousands of people would have been swallowed up by the flood! And the post-disaster reconstruction of the victims was also made possible by King Liang's advice, and King Liang's contribution is indispensable.
without!"
"And you, when the flood came, you didn't make any achievements. Instead, you falsely accused Zhongliang. Your heart is to be punished! All the officials who falsely accused King Liang were demoted one level and fined for one year. Can you accept it?"
Wang Xin and others, even though they felt endlessly aggrieved, could only say helplessly: "My lord, please forgive me and accept my kindness."
Li Shimin continued: "I have decided to make Li Ke the king of Qi and the governor of Qizhou. After he recovers, he will take office immediately; I will make Li Min the king of Shu and the governor of Yizhou."
After Li Shimin granted him the gift, Li Min calmly thanked him.
This time's reward is no different from the reward in the original historical track, but it is just a few years ahead of schedule.
However, after his brother Li Ke was named King of Qi, he would soon go to Qizhou to take office.
Although Li Min was named King of Shu, he will not take office until next year, and there may be changes by then.
In fact, based on Li Shimin's love for Li Min, it is actually impossible for him to send him to Shu.
After all, Shu is too far away from Chang'an and not very safe.
But now in Li Shimin's mind, Li Min is an irreplaceable talent.
After resigning from the court, Li Min couldn't help but go to the Prince of Shu's Mansion. Well, it should be changed to the Prince of Qi's Mansion now.
Went to visit my brother Li Ke.
In the lottery a few days ago, one of the first prizes was won by Li Ke's house.
Li Ke now has at least seven to eight million dollars on hand.
Although this amount of money is not much for a royal palace, it is definitely enough.
After arriving in Qizhou, Li Ke was honored as the governor, so money was naturally indispensable.
Qizhou, which is today's Jinan in Shandong Province, is a prosperous place.
However, the Shandong Group in Qizhou has huge power, and it is very difficult to make a difference.
However, for now, Li Ke only needs to make no mistakes and does not need to make much achievements.
As in the original historical trajectory, the Yue kings Li Tai and Li Shimin still stayed with them and did not let him go to the fiefdom.
In this way, the struggle between the prince and Li Tai will still continue.
…
After arriving at Prince Qi's Mansion, Li Min and Li Ke said goodbye.
The next day, the two went to the palace to say goodbye to their mother, Concubine Yang. Concubine Yang pulled Li Ke and almost burst into tears.
A few days later, after Li Ke recovered from the typhoid fever, he took his escort and went to Qizhou to take office.
Before leaving, Concubine Yang made some clothes herself and brought them to Li Ke.
