Chapter 601: Checking the Accounts [Third Update]
Li Yi flipped through the account books at home, and Li Xuan stood in front of him with a haggard face.
The Academy of Sciences is about to open, but he hasn't even solved the problem of military rations, so it's no wonder that he's not in a hurry.
"Take it."
Li Yi took out a book from the drawer and threw it over, this is the price he paid for a pimple, stayed up late to write, it was full of modern military food ideas, specific production methods, as for the sealing problem, there is also a detailed description.
Some modern means are impossible to achieve, and the means that can be adopted are very limited, but fortunately, it is not nothing, find the right direction, and then overcome one or two technical difficulties.
This is not a difficult thing for Li Xuan, who has a large number of skilled craftsmen under him.
After a while, Li Xuan walked out of the room with a relaxed face, but was pulled by the tsundere Lori who was guarding the door.
"Brother Xuan, let me ask you something, you are not allowed to lie to me." She glanced inside the room and whispered.
"What's the matter?" Li Xuan looked puzzled.
Tsundere Lori pulled him to the corner and asked, "Sir, was it snatched back by Sister Ruyi to get married?" ”
Li Xuan looked at her and said, "Why are you asking this?" ”
"You just say it's not right!" Tsundere Lori said as she twisted her body.
Li Xuan nodded, and asked again, "Yes, what's wrong?" ”
"It's really a kiss snatch......"
Tsundere Lori's eyes widened at first, and after glancing into the room again, she narrowed her eyes thoughtfully.
……
……
In recent days, the atmosphere in the court has been slightly depressing.
The information revealed by the Imperial Medical Department shows that His Majesty's health is deteriorating and the situation is not optimistic.
Emperors are terrible, and an emperor who is about to come to an end is even more terrifying.
This kind of horror is directly reflected in several iron-blooded measures of the secret spy department recently.
The last time the criminal department waiter embezzlement case, the silver involved in the case actually reached 100,000 taels, it is a rare corruption case in recent years, the criminal department waiter Zhao Guangyuan is still locked up in Dali Temple, and these days, a lot of people have confessed from his mouth, and even the two five-grade officials are involved, all of them have been cleaned by the secret spy department one by one, for a time, above the court, everyone is in danger.
Of course, there are degrees of self-danger.
Among them, the most frightening ones are, of course, the King of Shu and his family.
Zhao Guangyuan, the servant of the Criminal Department, has always had close ties with the King of Shu, and the friends he made were naturally officials of the King of Shu.
However, after he was caught for corruption this time, His Majesty issued a holy decree, if he confessed every time, he could reduce the punishment by a few points, it is said that the punishment that this Lord Zhao should suffer has changed from beheading to imprisonment for 530 years.
As a result, some officials of the Shu Dynasty's lineage, who should have raided their homes, should have been imprisoned, and all their family property was rushed back to the treasury, and it was roughly estimated that in a few months, there were at least hundreds of thousands of taels more in the treasury.
And His Majesty is obviously not satisfied with this, this time it seems that he is determined to investigate the greedy people in Beijing, this time the imperial history platform was ordered to check the account books of the various yamen departments, that is, to take out the moths one by one, as soon as this order came out, I don't know how many officials in Beijing panicked.
……
……
"300,000 taels is still far from enough." Emperor Jing took a sip of Sydney soup, frowned and said.
Qin Huan, the head of the household, sighed and said: "Like Zhao Guangyuan, the servant of the Criminal Department, he was greedy for 100,000 taels of silver, but he didn't dare to spend a penny. ”
"Father, the accounts of the Inner Mansion are checked correctly." Li Han, who was sitting on the side and had been looking down and fiddling with the abacus, suddenly put down the abacus, stretched his waist and said.
"So fast?" Emperor Jing asked in surprise.
Li Han smiled embarrassedly, crackled the abacus, and said, "The abacus made by Mr. is easy to use, and the accounting regulations of the inner government are clear, so it doesn't take much effort." ”
Emperor Jing nodded, the Inner Mansion was the department that managed the palace and royal expenses, and the accounts were under his supervision, so it was indeed unlikely that there would be any major mistakes.
Before checking the accounts, it would take at least five days for the three of them to check all the accounts, and Han'er, it was less than two hours from the time he dialed the thing called the "abacus", right?
I wanted to ask a few more words, but there was a report from a eunuch outside the door, and Yu Shitai Ma Zhongcheng asked to see him.
Yu Shitai was only ordered by him yesterday to check the account books of the large and small yamen in Kyoto, Ma Zhongcheng should have come for this matter, Emperor Jing waved his hand and said: "Xuan! ”
Ma Zhongcheng walked in from the outside, first saluted Emperor Jing, and then said: "Yushitai is ordered by His Majesty to check the account books of various yamen in Beijing, but your Yushi's arithmetic attainments are not high, in order to complete Your Majesty's task as soon as possible, the minister wants to ask Your Majesty for a will, borrow a few students from the School of Mathematics, and assist Yushitai in checking the accounts." ”
A certain dean once said that if the court is useful to get the students of the arithmetic academy, it can be said that this kind of thing should be handed over to someone who specializes in arithmetic, and as for the Yushitai, it is good to play a supervisory role.
"That's right." Emperor Jing glanced to the side and said, "Han'er, you can select some students from the Academy of Mathematics to assist Yushitai." ”
Li Han raised his head and said, "Father, the students of the Academy of Mathematics go out for internships, help the imperial court do things, and get credits, which must be signed by the dean himself. ”
When Emperor Jing heard this, he waved his hand at Ma Zhongcheng and said, "Since this is the case, then you can go to Li Yi yourself." ”
When Ma Zhongcheng heard this, he could only retreat helplessly.
The reason why he came to meet His Majesty first was that he was worried that Uncle Li Xian would open his mouth and ask them for a huge amount of remuneration, but the Imperial History Terrace was a Qingshui Yamen, and the Imperial Historians were poor one by one, so how could they be paid any reward?
He sighed, since His Majesty said so, he could only try his luck first.
……
……
"Borrowing someone?"
After Li Yi heard what the Ma Zhongcheng in front of him said, he nodded and said, "How many people do you want?" ”
Ma Zhongcheng looked at him and asked tentatively, "Dean Li, how should the students' remuneration be calculated?" ”
Li Yi waved his hand and said, "If you have the opportunity to contribute your own strength to the imperial court, it is their duty, what kind of remuneration do you talk about......?"
Ma Zhongcheng was stunned for a moment, and when he looked at Li Yi again, a deep guilt immediately rose in his heart.
Li Xianbo is the real gentleman, he actually guessed him like this before, he really lived the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, it shouldn't be!
"It only takes ten people." Ma Zhongcheng arched his hand and said.
"It's not good to have one left, make up a whole and give you eleven." Li Yi thought for a while and said.
"One left?" Ma Zhongcheng looked at him suspiciously.
"It's not important." Li Yi waved his hand and said, "In short, give you eleven people." ”
asked for ten to eleven, Ma Zhongcheng felt even deeper guilt in his heart, and with a look of shame, he arched his hand and said: "Then thank you Dean Li, this official will definitely say a lot of good words for Dean Li in front of His Majesty......"
"Ma Zhongcheng is polite...... Li Yi smiled and said: "Eat the king's money, worry about the king, this is what we should do." ”
