Chapter 601: Check accounts

Views:

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 he wasn't in a hurry.

"take it."

Li Yi took out a book from the drawer and threw it over. He paid the price of a pimple and wrote it all night. It is full of modern military ration ideas, the specific production method, and the sealing problem. describe.

Some modern methods are impossible to achieve, and the methods that can be adopted are very limited. Fortunately, there are not none. If you find the right direction, you can overcome one or two technical difficulties.

This is not a difficult task for Li Xuan who has a lot of skilled craftsmen under his command.

Not long after, Li Xuan walked out of the room with a relaxed face, but was pulled over by the arrogant Lolita who was guarding the door.

"Brother Xuan, I want to ask you something, don't lie to me." She glanced into the room and whispered.

"What is it?" Li Xuan looked puzzled.

Tsundere Lolita 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?"

"Just say so!" Tsundere Loli twisted her body and said.

Li Xuan nodded and asked again: "Yeah, what's wrong?"

"It was really snatched by a relative..."

Tsundere Lolita first widened her eyes, and after taking another look into the room, she narrowed her eyes, looking thoughtful.

In recent days, the atmosphere in the court hall has been a little depressed.

According to the information released by the Imperial Medical Office, His Majesty's health is deteriorating and the situation is not optimistic.

Emperors are terrifying, and an emperor who is about to come to an end is even more terrifying.

This horror is directly reflected in the recent iron-blooded measures of the Secret Service.

Last time, in the case of corruption by the Minister of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, the amount of silver involved reached 100,000 taels. There were a lot of people, even the two fifth-rank officials were involved, and they were all cleaned up one by one by the secret spy department. For a while, everyone in the court was in danger.

Of course, there are degrees of self-insecurity.

Among them, the most frightening ones are of course the Shu kings.

Zhao Guangyuan, the servant of the Ministry of Justice, has always been in close contact with the King of Shu, and his friends are naturally officials of the King of Shu.

However, after he was arrested for corruption this time, His Majesty issued an imperial decree that if he confessed to each person, the punishment would be reduced by a few points. It is said that the punishment Mr. Zhao deserved has changed from beheading to imprisonment for five hundred and thirty years. If you work harder and confess to a few more country moths, you won't have a chance to see the sun again in your lifetime.

As a result, some officials of the King of Shu's family ransacked their homes, and those who deserved to go to jail, all their property was rushed to the treasury. According to a rough estimate, in a few months, there were at least hundreds of thousands of taels in the treasury.

But His Majesty is obviously not satisfied with this. This time, it seems that he is determined to investigate the people who are corrupt in Beijing. Out, I don't know how many officials in Beijing panicked.

"Three hundred thousand taels is still far from enough." Emperor Jing said with a sip of pear soup, frowning.

Qin Huan, Shangshu of the Household Department, sighed, and said: "Like Zhao Guangyuan, the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, who is greedy for a hundred thousand taels of silver, but dare not spend a penny. This is the only example. The few people he confessed to have already squandered the silver of greedy ink." The rest are just the numbers obtained after converting their family property when the secret agent was ordered to raid the house."

"Father, the accounts of the inner government have been verified correctly." Li Han, who was sitting on the side, lowered his head and fiddling with the abacus, suddenly put down the abacus and stretched his waist.

"So fast?" Emperor Jing asked in surprise.

Li Han smiled embarrassingly, and crackled the abacus, and said: "The abacus made by Mr. is easy to use. The accounts and regulations of the inner government are clear, so it doesn't take much effort."

Emperor Jing nodded. The Inner Palace is the department that manages the court and royal expenses. The accounts are under his supervision, and it is indeed unlikely that there will be any major mistakes.

Before checking the accounts, it took the three of them at least five days to check all the accounts, but it took less than two hours for Han'er to move the thing called "abacus", right

I wanted to ask a few more questions, but there was a report from the eunuch outside the door, and Ma Zhongcheng, the Yushitai, asked to see him.

Yushitai only received his order yesterday to check the account books of all yamen in the capital. 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: "The Yushitai is ordered by His Majesty to check the account books of all the yamen in Beijing, but the censors are not very good at arithmetic. I want to ask His Majesty for an order to borrow a few students from the Mathematical Academy to assist Yushitai in checking the accounts."

A certain dean once said that if the court is useful for the students of the math academy, they can speak out, and such things as checking accounts should be handed over to people who specialize in studying math. As for Yushitai, it is good to play a supervisory role .

"Sure." Emperor Jing glanced sideways, and said, "Han'er, you can choose some students from the Mathematical Academy to assist Yushitai."

Li Han raised his head and said, "Father, if the students of the school go out for internships, help the court with things, and get credits, they must be signed by the dean."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Jing waved his hand at Ma Zhongcheng and said, "In that case, you can go find Li Yi yourself."

Hearing this, Ma Zhongcheng could only retreat helplessly.

The reason why he came to meet His Majesty first was because he was worried that Uncle Li would open his mouth and ask for a huge reward from them. Yushitai is a Qingshui yamen, and the censors are all clinking poorly. How can there be any reward for them

He sighed, since His Majesty said so, he can only try his luck first.

"Borrower?"

After listening to Ma Zhongcheng in front of him, Li Yi 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: "It is their duty to have the opportunity to contribute to the imperial court. What kind of remuneration are you talking about..."

Ma Zhongcheng was stunned for a moment, and when he looked at Li Yi again, he felt a deep sense of guilt in his heart.

Li Xianbo is the real gentleman. I guessed him like this before. I really judge the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain. It's too wrong!

"Ten people are enough." Ma Zhongcheng said, cupping his hands.

"It's not good to have one left. Let's make up the 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, "Anyway, here are eleven of you."

Asking ten to eleven, Ma Zhongcheng felt even more guilty. With a face of shame, he cupped his hands and said, "Then I would like to thank Dean Li. I will definitely speak well for Dean Li in front of His Majesty..."

"Ma Zhongcheng is being polite..." Li Yi smiled and said, "Eating the king's salary and sharing your worries, this is what we should do."
