Carefree Scholar Chapter 776: How to explain
"Master Liu, what's wrong with this...?"
Li Yi looked at the bulging bag on Liu's forehead and asked in surprise.
Of course, Liu Dayou can't say that this was what he encountered when he was dozing off. He smiled awkwardly, and said: "I accidentally ran into it..."
If you accidentally ran into it, there is no reason to be embarrassed. Li Yi heard when he was in Qing'an Mansion that the boudoirs of Mrs. Liu and the concubine were very fun, maybe it was a new trick to play last night. When he arrived, he looked at him with weird eyes, and said: "Yeqing returns to Yiqing, Master Liu should pay attention to the scale..."
Li Mingzhu looked at them and asked: "What are you talking about?"
Liu county magistrate also looked confused, but did not continue on this topic, raised his head and asked: "I wonder if your Royal Highness and Hou Ye come to the county office, what are your orders?"
He said that, Li Yi was not used to it. He waved his hand and said, "Everyone is old friends, you are welcome, County Order Liu."
How virtuous and capable of his Liu Da, who can be friends with the emperor's close minister and the princess, Liu County magistrates heart is disturbed, but it is inevitable to express joy.
Although the eldest princess is a woman, she has more power than any prince, and she is also a man of the court, and Li Xianhou is able to influence the current situation. He has been able to be the magistrate of Anxi since his childhood. To a certain extent, it was because of meeting these two nobles.
Li Yi didn't say much to him. He took a sip of his tea and asked straightforwardly: "The rich and powerful businessmen in Kyoto, how many people do Mrs Liu know?"
"Rich merchants and wealthy households?" Although I don't know why Li Yi asked such questions, the county magistrate Liu answered honestly: "Although the official came to Kyoto not long ago, he still knows a lot of well-known gentry and wealthy merchants near Kyoto. "
With many years of experience as a county magistrate, Liu Dayou knows very well that if he wants to achieve success under his administration, he must first have a good relationship with the local snakes.
Kyoto is different from Anxi County. There are too many local snakes here, and all of them are pythons. Those high-ranking officials and dignitaries can't climb high, and the smaller squires and giants have met a lot in the past year or so.
"This is easy to handle." Li Yi nodded, looked at the magistrate Liu, and said: "There is something to be handled by Mrs. Liu. It may be a lot busy these days..."
Liu county magistrate smiled and said: "It is an honor to be an official to be able to do things for Lord Hou and His Royal Highness."
He has been **** with Li Yi a long time ago. Naturally, these things will not be rejected.
After a while, the county magistrate Liu was walking alone within the county office, his face full of excitement.
What good things do Hou Ye and the princess have, they still think about themselves first, if this thing is done, what merit will it be?
According to this situation, maybe, in a few years, he should relax again in the hot seat under his butt.
Li Yi and Li Mingzhu walked out of the county office. The eldest princess looked back at him and asked: "You are so sure, will those people agree?"
Li Yi put his hands behind his head and lazily said: "How can I know if I don't try?"
Li Yi has no way to explain this kind of thing to her. He is also learning from the experience of his predecessors. History is always surprisingly similar. Many of these things will not change over time. , Certain truths, apply to the whole universe.
Li Mingzhu looked at him: "What are you doing now?"
"Go home for dinner."
Li Yi stretched, "Shouning is also here, do you want to be together?"
……
What happened at the court has always been the focus of the people of insight in Kyoto.
The preparation for the establishment of a college is not limited to these people of insight, because it is closely related to the common people, and more people are also participating.
They are watching the progress of this matter all the time.
Many of them have supernatural powers, and they can get news from the Ministry of Rites.
For example, which officials donated money, how much did they donate, who was not worthy, and let the official of the Ministry of ceremonies who came to the door closed their doors, and so on, it is very detailed...
Of course, in these messages, there are occasional messy things mixed in.
For example, an official from the Ministry of Households donated only 100 taels of silver for the college. His son spent a lot of money for the top card in a brothel that night...
Another worker, Wai Lang, who donated fifty taels, married a concubine the day before yesterday and set up a big banquet at home. It is said that the wine and dishes ordered from Zuiyue Tower cost one hundred taels per table. I only ordered 20 tables, and there are more than a thousand taels of silver.
Not to mention his concubine, who was originally a famous Kyoto courtesan. The money was redeemed. It was clearly marked, and a series of numbers were written there, which made many people take a breath after seeing it. Qi...
For another example, an official who kept the courtesy away from the door, spent thousands of taels of silver to buy a precious calligraphy and painting, and took turns to invite friends to watch and show off...
So people discovered something.
You have money, you have money to take concubines, you have money to buy calligraphy and painting, you have money to entertain guests for dinner, you have no money to donate silver to the college.
There is no moral kidnapping in this year. Some people just think that the officials are a bit rich and unkind, but they have not violated the law, and others have no right to point fingers.
However, such people of insight are only a few, and the most in this world are ordinary people who have never read a book, but have a simple view of right and wrong.
If you have money, you only care about your own enjoyment, regardless of the life and death of the people, and you should be scolded if you are an official and not for the people!
Of course, I don't know how many spittings I spit in secretly at those high-ranking households without daring to scold me.
In the private room of a tea house in Kyoto.
An elegant middle-aged man looked at the opposite man and smiled: "Master Wu, your concubine, the bed skills are famous in Kyoto~ IndoMTL.com~ Is your body able to eat? "
"This matter, I won't bother Master Wei." The man who was drinking tea cast a glance at him, and said, "Ling the son spends a lot of money for a prostitute, this kind of demeanor, I am afraid that it will be as good as Master Wei back then. Up."
The elegant middle-aged man waved his hand and said, "I have already taught that Nizi, but one thousand taels of silver is a pity. Add two thousand taels and you can buy that picture of Yan Gong’s mountain dwelling. Say yes, Master Qi?"
A man next to him glanced at him and said lightly: "You don't have to be cynic, because the official is willing to spend three thousand taels on a painting, and he is not willing to donate thirty taels to them. Jing Guo has no rules. According to the law, this is what the official must donate..."
The elegant middle-aged man sighed and said, "But people outside don't think so..."
Because of these things, the reputations of the few people present have been affected. As officials, they cherish their reputations. The few people gathered today are for these two days.
"Huh, just a bunch of fools!" The Master Wu snorted coldly, and said, "When this matter is over, naturally no one will talk about it. The officer wants to see. Without the silver, she can still hold on. When!"
Even on such occasions, he still dare not call out that name.
"It's still a female stream..."
"This is against all the family members, even your majesty..."
"Hehe, we just look at it, it should be fast, we can't raise money, this matter can only be put on hold, then, see how she explains to your majesty and hundreds of officials!"
There was laughter coming from the field, and the slightly tense atmosphere finally relaxed.
"Tell you sir." A street away from the teahouse, the county magistrate Liu looked at the inquiries and smiled: "Just say that the capital ordered Liu Dayou to visit."
