Chapter 610: The Day of Reckoning
"Bump!"
Li Yi touched the "Dongfeng" played by Li Xuan, and chose a card to play: "Thirty thousand!" ”
Two days ago, the students of the Arithmetic Academy began to settle the accounts nervously, and the officials of the DPRK and the Central Committee were worried about this matter, it was difficult to sleep and eat, and he lost five pounds in two days.
Fortunately, the academy is not far from the palace, and Li Xuan has been busy working in the Academy of Sciences next door these days, plus the eldest princess plays mahjong with three missing one, and finally called Tsundere Lori over, just to make a table.
"Huh!"
Tsundere Lori knocked down her card wall, her eyes curled with a smile, "Give the money, give the money!" ”
Yongning stood beside Li Yi, and gave her a copper coin in her hand with some distress, and after half an hour's effort, the copper coin in her hand was a small half.
When the cards were shuffled, Li Mingzhu raised his head and glanced at Li Yi, and said slowly: "Today, more than ten courtiers have complained of illness and have not gone to the court, and the early dynasty will be over in less than a quarter of an hour." ”
Her voice paused, and she said, "If it drags on for a few more days, I'm afraid there will be a small number of people in the court." ”
"Tomorrow there will be results." Li Yi looked at the cards, very good, casually played a south wind, now just wait for the six or nine cylinders to win.
"Hu!"
Tsundere Lori tore down the card wall and said with a smile: "Give money!" ”
Mahjong can't be played, switch to poker, Li Yi and Tsundere Lori are together, Li Xuan and Her Royal Highness the princess are together, and after a while, the smile on Yongning's face brightens.
"Father really plans to find out all the corrupt officials and corrupt officials?"
Play cards well, see how professional Li Xuan is, Her Royal Highness the princess can't do without state affairs in three sentences, Li Yi waved his hand and said: "How is it possible, if you really want to catch them all, I'm afraid that the court will have to be cleaned inside and out." ”
Li Mingzhu's expression softened, and asked, "Then why do you still need to check these accounts?" ”
"You'll know tomorrow morning." Li Yi sorted out the cards and changed the topic: "How are your things?" ”
"It's all going well." Li Mingzhu nodded and said: "According to what you said, a large piece of land has been encircled outside the city, a workshop has been built, and most of the farmers near Kyoto have sent women over the age of thirteen to them, and the textile machine has been improved, and it will not be long before the ready-to-wear shops in Kyoto can be opened on a large scale." ”
"When the time comes, it will be subdivided, and the clothes for the common people and the powerful and eunuchs should be separated, and the latter will take two more days of work, and the handiwork will be a little more fine, and the price will be a hundred times more expensive ------."
"In addition, you send someone to take care of the business of military rations with the generals, you are a princess, it is more convenient to contact them, no one will gossip, I just collect the money......"
Li Xuan asked a little depressedly: "Why can Mingzhu be able to do the business of military rations, but I can't?" ”
Li Yi glanced at him, is this product stupid, although he is half of the royal family, but in the end he is just the son of a prince, and the relationship with Jiangmen is so good, he runs over there in three days, what do the courtiers think?
Li Xuan's face suddenly showed a smile, he no longer minded this matter, threw out a few cards, and said, "Three with two, I have one card left." ”
"I can't afford it."
Li Yi waved his hand, three twos with two threes, I can't afford it.
Li Mingzhu and his gang will not want it if they want it.
"King Bomb!" Tsundere Lori threw all the cards in her hand, "Junko, we won again......"
"Give money to money!"
Playing cards and playing chess, there is no more reliable teammate than Tsundere Lori, Yongning was busy collecting money, Li Xuan was a little discouraged, thought of something, and asked: "Mingzhu, your birthday is coming soon, what gift do you want this year?" ”
This kind of question is not right, how can you directly ask others what gift they want, and when the time comes, they will directly give a thousand eight million taels of silver, which is definitely more shocking than any gift.
Tsundere Lori looked up at Li Yi and asked, "Sir, what gift do you plan to give to the imperial sister, my birthday is also coming, you can't give me any worse than the imperial sister!" ”
"Secrecy for now."
Li Yi actually didn't know what Li Mingzhu's birthday was, but this time it was just in time, and he should be ready soon.
"Mingzhu and I were born on the same day." Li Xuan turned his head to look at Li Yi, his eyes seemed to have deep meaning.
Li Yi arched his hand to him: "Happy birthday!" ”
……
……
"The next day, it's already the next day."
In Kyoto, in a certain official's mansion, a middle-aged man paced anxiously in the courtyard, and his mouth was foaming several times.
"Master, aren't you going to the court tomorrow?" A woman came out of the house and said with some concern.
The middle-aged man waved his hand impatiently and said, "If you don't go, if you don't go, you will say that I am sick, and I am very sick!" ”
As soon as the words fell, someone stepped forward to say, "Go back to the master, someone is in the palace!" ”
The middle-aged man's face immediately turned pale, his legs weakened, and he asked in a trembling voice, "...... come, how many are here?" ”
"One." The man said, "Do you want to meet me?" ”
"No, no, go and ask him, what's the matter?" The middle-aged man waved his hand, walked quickly to the bed in the room and lay down, wiped his face with two pieces of old ginger, and the whole person immediately looked much weaker.
After a while, the man walked in from the outside.
"Gone?" The middle-aged man asked.
The man replied, "Gone." ”
The middle-aged man got up from the bed and asked, "What did he say?" ”
"The eunuch from the palace said that tomorrow morning, Your Majesty has something important to announce, and you must not take leave, even if your illness hangs by a thread, you must carry it to the Golden Palace......"
The middle-aged man's eyes were dark, and he was so weak that he was on the bed.
At different times, there are many officials who also feel blackened in front of them.
In the past few days, almost half of the officials in the court have decreased, and it seems that overnight, they have all suffered from some kind of acute illness, and those who are sick cannot even go to the court, and those who are sick can only recuperate at home.
And His Majesty didn't say much about it, as if nothing had happened in the past two days, up and down, without the slightest abnormality.
It was only on the second day that the eunuch was sent to inform the officials who were sick that they were not allowed to take leave when they were in court early tomorrow morning, and the meaning was very clear, even if they died, they would die in the court.
Everyone knows that all the accounts sent to the academy tomorrow will be settled, and then, it is time for His Majesty to settle accounts with them.
The gates of Kyoto have been tightly guarded by the forbidden army, and it is easy to enter Beijing and difficult to get out of Beijing, not to mention, near the homes of hundreds of officials in the DPRK and China, I am afraid that they have been targeted by the secret spy department, as long as they have any abnormal behavior, I am afraid that someone from the secret spy department will immediately come to the palace to ask for a cup of tea.
Li Yi is not worried that there will be people in Kyoto who will not be able to sleep tonight, nor is he worried that they have not slept well for many days, and whether their bodies can withstand it, looking at an oval-shaped glass bead handed over by Lao Fang, there are almost no bubbles in it, although there is still a little bit of color, but the impact is not big, this more than a month, after many equipment and process improvements, it has finally been pushed to this point.
It can finally be used to cheat money ......, and it can finally be used to benefit the majority of female compatriots in Kyoto.
"If you improve the process, it will be easier to cheat money."
Li Yi handed the glass beads to the old man, and said again, at the same time, a carriage with a box drove out of the academy and drove straight into the palace gate.
