Chapter 776: How to Explain [Second Update]
"Lord Liu, this is ...... What's wrong? ”
Li Yi looked at the bulging bag on Liu Xianling's forehead and asked in surprise.
Of course, Liu Dayou couldn't say that this was what he met when he was dozing off just now, showed an embarrassed smile, and said, "I accidentally touched ......."
If it was accidentally touched, there would be no reason to be embarrassed, Li Yi heard when he was in Qing'an Mansion that Lord Liu and the concubine's boudoir was very fun, maybe it was hurt by playing some new tricks last night, he looked at him with strange eyes, and said: "Pleasant to pleasant, Lord Liu should pay attention to the scale......"
Li Mingzhu looked at them and asked, "What are you talking about?" ”
Liu Xianling also looked puzzled, but he didn't continue on this topic, raised his head and asked, "I don't know if Your Highness and Hou Ye came to the county office, what are your orders?" ”
When he spoke like this, Li Yi was not used to it, waved his hand and said, "Everyone is an old friend, Liu Xianling is not polite." ”
What kind of virtue can he Liu Da have, and he can become friends with the close ministers of the Son of Heaven and Her Royal Highness the Princess, Liu Xianling is apprehensive in his heart, but he inevitably reveals joy.
Although the eldest princess is a woman, the power in her hands is greater than that of any prince, and she is also a figure in the court, and the Marquis of Li County can influence the current situation, he can change from a small Anxi County Order to a Beijing Order, to a certain extent, it is also because he met these two nobles.
Li Yi didn't say much to him, took a sip of tea, and asked straight to the point: "How much do you know about the wealthy businessmen in Kyoto?" ”
"Wealthy businessmen?" Although he didn't know why Li Yi asked such a question, Liu Xianling still replied honestly: "Although Xia Guan has not been in Kyoto for a long time, there are famous squires and wealthy businessmen near Kyoto, and he still knows a lot. ”
With many years of experience in county orders, Liu Dayou knows very well that if he wants to make achievements under his jurisdiction, he must first have a good relationship with the local head snake.
Kyoto is different from Anxi County, there are too many snakes here, and they are all pythons, those dignitaries and dignitaries he can't climb, and the smaller squires have known a lot in more than a year.
"That's going to do it." Li Yi nodded, looked at Liu County's order, and said, "There is something to be handed over to Lord Liu, and it may be a lot of busy these days......"
Liu Xianling smiled and said, "It is an honor for the lower officials to be able to do things for the Hou Ye and His Royal Highness. ”
He has long been tied to Li Yi, and these things will naturally not be shirked.
After a while, Liu Xianling paced alone in the county office, his face full of excitement.
What good things does the Hou Ye and the princess have, sure enough, they still think about themselves first, if this matter is done, how much merit will it be?
According to this situation, perhaps, in a few years, the position under his buttocks, which is not yet hot, should be loosened again.
Li Yi and Li Mingzhu walked out of the county office, and the eldest princess looked back at him and asked, "You are so sure, those people will agree?" ”
Li Yi clasped his hands behind his head and said lazily: "How do you know if you don't try?" ”
This kind of thing, Li Yi has no way to explain it to her, he is also learning from the experience of his predecessors, history is always strikingly similar, many of the things in it will not change over time, and some truths are applicable to the whole universe.
Li Mingzhu looked at him: "What to do now?" ”
"Go home for dinner."
Li Yi stretched his waist, "Shou Ning is also here, do you want to be together?" ”
……
What happened in the court has always been the focus of attention of people of insight in Kyoto.
The preparation for the establishment of the academy is no longer limited to these people of insight, because it is closely related to the common people, and more people are also involved.
They were always watching the progress of this matter.
Among them, there are many people with great powers, and they can actually get news from the Ministry of Rites.
For example, which officials donated silver, how much they donated, and which people did not pull out a dime, so that the officials of the Ministry of Rites who came to the door ate the closed-door soup, and so on, very detailed......
Of course, there is occasionally some mess mixed in with these messages.
For example, a certain household official donated only 100 taels of silver to the college, and his son spent a lot of money for the top sign of a certain green building that night......
Another member of the Ministry of Labor who donated 50 taels of foreign lang, just married a concubine the day before yesterday, and held a banquet at home, it is said that the wine and food ordered from Zuiyue Lou cost 100 taels of silver for a table, that is, only 20 tables were booked, and there were more than 1,000 taels of silver.
Not to mention that his concubine was a famous prostitute in Kyoto, and the silver for redemption was clearly marked, and a string of numbers was written there, which made many people gasp when they saw it......
For another example, an official who kept the people of the Ministry of Rites out of the door spent thousands of taels of silver to buy a precious calligraphy and painting, and took turns to invite his friends to watch and show off......
So something was discovered.
**Rich, rich in concubines, rich in buying calligraphy and paintings, rich in inviting guests to dinner------ no money in donating silver to the academy.
In these years, there is no talk of moral kidnapping, and some people just think that those officials are a little rich and unkind, but the law is not violated, and others are not qualified to point fingers.
However, this kind of insightful people, after all, are only a few, and the most people who exist in this world are ordinary people who have not read books and just have a superficial view of right and wrong.
If you have money and only care about your own pleasure, you don't care about the life and death of the people, and you should be scolded if you are an official and don't make decisions for the people!
Of course, I don't dare to scold clearly, and I don't know how many spit I secretly spit on those high-ranking families.
In a private room of a teahouse in Kyoto.
An elegant middle-aged man looked at the man opposite and said with a smile: "Lord Wu, that little concubine of yours, Kyoto is famous for her kung fu in bed, can you afford to eat this body?" ”
"I won't bother Lord Wei about this matter." The man who was drinking tea glanced at him and said, "Ling Gongzi spent a lot of money for a prostitute, this kind of demeanor is probably as good as that of Lord Wei back then." ”
The elegant middle-aged man waved his hand and said: "I have already taught the rebel a lesson, it is a pity to have a thousand taels of silver, and with two thousand taels, you can buy that picture of Yan Gong's mountain residence, do you say, Lord Qi?" ”
A man beside him glanced at him and said lightly: "You don't have to be sneering, the official is willing to spend three thousand taels to buy a painting, and he is not willing to donate thirty taels to them, Jingguo does not have a law, this is the official must donate......"
The elegant middle-aged man sighed and said, "But people outside don't think so......"
Because of these things, the reputation of several people present has been affected somewhat, as an official, they cherish their reputation very much, and several people are gathered together today for the sake of these two days.
"Hmph, just a bunch of fools!" That Lord Wu snorted coldly and said, "When this matter passes, naturally no one will talk about it anymore, but this official wants to see how long she can hold on without silver!" ”
Even on such an occasion, he still didn't dare to call out that name.
"In the end, it's still a female ......"
"This is against all the gate valve families, even if it is Your Majesty, it is ......"
"Hehe, let's just look at it, it should be soon, we can't raise the money, this matter can only be shelved, when the time comes, see how she explains to His Majesty and the hundred officials!"
There was laughter in the room, and the slightly tense atmosphere finally relaxed.
"Tell you, sir." The teahouse was separated by a street, Liu Xianling looked at the inquiring subordinates and said with a smile: "Let's just say that the capital has ordered Liu Dayou to visit." ”
