The secret spy department is the most feared institution of the hundred officials, and the six ministries and the prime minister have no right to command, and they are directly responsible to the Son of Heaven.

Everyone knows the secret spy department, but it is still mysterious in the minds of hundreds of officials.

Everyone doesn't know whether the maid in the house, the subordinate, or even the concubine who just married home last night is a spy of the secret spy department, of course, no one knows whether it is specific, anyway, it is rumored outside.

Everyone passed on the secret spy division to be a god, but neither the people nor the officials could get a glimpse of its true face.

One thing is certain, though.

If the secret agent department wants to find out something, it's easy.

They were able to clearly find out whether the bag on Liu Dayou's head in the capital was knocked on the corner of the table when he was napping, or whether it was injured when he was having a good time with his concubine last night.

Not long after Changde retreated, he walked out again with a secret letter.

There are countless secret letters sent to the palace every day by the secret spy department, which are classified and specially sorted out, and it is not difficult to find Liu Dayou in the capital.

Emperor Jing opened the secret letter, opened it, and looked at it carefully.

It would not be difficult for someone in Beijing to find out the whereabouts of Liu Dayou in the capital, but it would be very difficult to investigate what he had done, who he had met, and what he had said.

Of course, there is no one who has no grievances and no one is idle to do these things, tracking and investigating the officials of the imperial court, with bad intentions, if they are found out, there will be no good results.

However, this is not a problem for Emperor Jing.

Just by looking at the beginning, Emperor Jing had already guessed what Liu Dayou was doing these days.

He was doing the same thing as the Ministry of Rites officials had done before.

The difference is that the objects of fundraising for officials of the Ministry of Rites are officials and magnates, and the officials and magnates who are related to the Cui family are those businessmen.

Of course, the fact that such a large amount of money was raised in a short period of time does not mean that businessmen are more generous than officials.

Rather, because they donated money, they were able to leave their names on the monument and their names in front of a certain building in the academy.

The people of the Ministry of Rites didn't say that when they visited those officials and dignitaries.

Merchants have the same name, they want to be famous, they do not hesitate to spend a lot of money to build academies, officials and magnates, which one does not have a new name, they are more famous than businessmen------ why don't they donate, or only donate a little?

Because they don't know.

Because they didn't know that donating money would leave a name in the academy, and that they would be able to engrave their name on the tablet and pass it down from generation to generation.

As smart as Emperor Jing, he figured out the joints of things almost instantly.

Some people are being calculated.

From the very beginning, Li Yi or Mingzhu was calculating them.

Other officials and magnates can start donating silver after the whole thing is revealed, but most of the officials of the Ministry of Rites have visited officials or families who are related to the gate valve, can they donate again?

If you don't donate, the reputation that has been cultivated over the years will be dealt a huge blow.

If you donate again, because you have already done it once, the effect is minimal.

And those gate valve families, what they rely on is nothing more than the reputation they have accumulated for many years, and their prestige among the scholars and the people, without these, they are not even as good as a toothless tiger.

If it is said that the establishment of the academy so that the children of the poor family can have books to read is the encroachment on those gate valves, and it will take decades to bear fruit, this donation of silver is the most positive and direct blow to them.

Of course, the scope of the blow is not all gate valve ......, the Cui family, as well as the wealthy family of the Cui family, are about to usher in a more severe spiritual blow after experiencing a huge loss in money.

It's something he's wanted to do for years, but never did.

Emperor Jing's expression couldn't be said to be relieved or lost, and in the end he just put down the secret letter in his hand and sighed lightly, "I, I'm really old......

His originally straight back bent down, and he lay comfortably on the couch, and for the first time in twenty years, he felt that the burden on his shoulders seemed to be a little lighter.

That's because someone carried something for him.

Hearing the sound of even breathing soon coming from the couch, Chang De looked out of the hall, a smile on his face flashed, and he slowly retreated into the shadows in the hall.

……

……

"Sir, I want to eat hot pot ......" Tsundere Lori tugged on Li Yi's sleeve and kept shaking.

Li Yi patted her head and said, "What are you doing eating hot pot on such a hot day, listen to Mr., drink more soup......"

Since he came back, he rarely made those spicy things, and his daily meals were mainly light, mainly to take care of Ruyi's body, and to make light meals into all kinds of styles, which was his main direction recently.

After a while, there were two girls shaking his arms, one on the left and one on the left.

Li Yi looked at Tsundere Lori, and then at Yongning, who was pulled over by her, because her eyes were a little dodgy, and said helplessly: "Okay, okay, I'll let you go and prepare for you, and you will go to another small house to eat ...... later."

There are plenty of vegetables in summer, in fact, you can eat fresh vegetables no matter what season you are, so in order not to let her pester herself, I simply let them go to eat hot pot alone.

Li Mingzhu walked over, looked at him and said, "I will go to the morning court tomorrow, and it shouldn't be long before I hide it." ”

"It's almost time, and I don't plan to hide it for long." Li Yi added some ingredients to the soup and covered the lid, and then asked, "The academy to be built near Kyoto, the silver should be enough, right?" ”

Li Mingzhu nodded, Kyoto can be described as rich businessmen everywhere, and the sum of the silver they donated is also a very terrifying number, according to the plan, more than ten large academies will be built, which is more than enough, and it can even keep these academies running for a long time.

Even General Xue, who came to the door and other acquaintances, although he didn't know the inside story, was willing to donate some silver, but she politely refused for the same reason.

This matter has not yet reached the time to finally lift the veil.

Of course, although there is already a lot of silver, there is still a long way to go to cover the entire Jingguo.

However, this silver was originally only used in Kyoto, and every place took the form of donating silver on the spot, and presumably those people would prefer their fame to spread locally, as long as Kyoto's precedent was set, it would be much easier for other prefectures.

If this method is followed, one day, it will not be an unthinkable thing for the Pearl Academy to open all over Jingguo.

"After tomorrow, more silver should be received, the amount of this money will be large, how to spend it, is a question, this is just the beginning, in the future, the range will be larger, the silver will be more......"

Li Yi turned the fire into a simmer and said: "And to do these things, you can't rely on you or me alone, you have to find someone you can trust, you can find someone from the Women's Federation, you can also find someone from other places, ability is important, but to ensure absolute loyalty, these should be no problem for you......"

Li Mingzhu pondered his words and nodded slightly.

"One more important thing."

Seeing him speak again, Li Mingzhu turned to look at him with a solemn gaze.

Li Yi opened the lid of the casserole, filled some soup, handed the bowl to her, and said, "Can you help me taste this soup?" ”
