I Don’t Want To Be the Emperor

Chapter 211: declare an edict

Chapter 211 Announcement

But in the end, I endured it.

Facing He Jixiang, he said, "Sir, He is indeed far-sighted and I admire you."

“I’ll listen to you, sir.”

After Shen Chu hesitated for a while, he reluctantly agreed.

He Jixiang held the heater in his hands again, sat on the chair with his waist hunched, and sighed, "I am getting old, and my time is running out. From now on, the world will still be yours. Be a hero in troubled times."

"grown ups."

The corners of the eyes of Shen Chu, Zhang Mian and others were actually a little sore and swollen.

You Mazi, a boy from Jinfu Restaurant, walked in and said with a smile, "Sir, would you like to eat the stew tonight?"

He Jixiang said, "Send it in directly."

Zhang Mian personally went to the kitchen and brought two large stoves in, placed them in the center of the hall, set up pots, and after several people warmed up the wine, they gathered around to eat.

It is snowing heavily in Hongzhou.

On the contrary, the sun is shining brightly in Baiyun City.

Zhou Jiuling, who had already studied case trial at Sanhe Chief Secretary's Yamen, thought that his study was over and he could return to Yuezhou, but Shanqi arranged for him to enter the school again.

He heard a lot of new terms again, such as three-year compulsory education and compulsory schooling for school-age children.

The saddest thing is that I actually have to learn "counting" from scratch, learn to write "numbers", and be able to use "addition, subtraction, multiplication and division" skillfully.

These are not difficult for him.

The most difficult course was the "Accounting" course. Things like "if there is a loan, there must be a borrowing, and debits must be equal," and "debits increase, loans decrease, and assets are assets, and equity is the opposite," etc., which made his head dizzy.

However, he must also learn, Shan Qi said, and he must follow this method in Yuezhou in the future.

Fortunately, within ten days, someone was with him to keep him company.

He never thought that one day he would share the joys and sorrows with his former rival Yuan Busheng.

The two of them were sitting upright in the classroom like the children, listening to Han Jin on the stage speaking incessantly, and taking notes with the "pencil" in his hand from time to time.

It’s a pity that they are not very proficient in using it, and the characters written by a generation of literary giants are also crooked.

This kind of pencil was made by Lin Yi by asking a craftsman to mix a graphite rod and clay, and it was wrapped with a thin iron sheet. Although Lin Yi was not very satisfied, it was still better than using charcoal pencil, so it was suitable for use.

Moreover, the current sales in Sanhe are pretty good, and the two craftsmen have made a little fortune relying on this craft.

Zhou Jiuling finally waited until school was over. After the children had finished running in a swarm, he and Yuan Busheng walked out of the classroom together.

Yuan Busheng looked at the setting sun and sighed, "I never thought that I would have the opportunity to be a classmate with Mr. Zhou in my lifetime."

Zhou Jiuling snorted coldly, "Do you think I'm willing to be a classmate with an old guy like you?"

The most important thing is that the two of them still live in the same yard and eat at the same table!

Yuan Busheng smiled and said, "Master Zhou, it's okay not to mention the old things. Now that you and I are working for Prince He, we should work together."

The two of them were walking and chatting. When they reached a remote place with no one around, Zhou Jiuling suddenly whispered, "Master Yuan, why do you think this prince and I have refused to see each other until now?"

They were once second-rank officials in the imperial court, needless to say they were full of economics. If you don't want to meet them, you should at least meet them!

Yuan Busheng smiled and said, "Master Zhou, you and I are now prisoners of the rank, and it is gratifying to be able to escape with one life."

"snort,"

Zhou Jiuling said angrily, "Master Yuan just said that we should work together. It's too boring to say these words now."

Yuan Busheng smiled and said, "Lord Zhou, you are making things difficult for me. It is rumored that this person had a generous temper when he and the prince were in the capital. How can we treat him as an ordinary person?"

Zhou Jiuling sighed and said, "This Prince He is indeed an extraordinary person, and he actually let people learn some heretical ways."

Accounting, finance, etc. are obviously things that junior officials should do, but they are allowed to learn from second-grade officials!

It’s really outrageous!

“It’s settled once it’s come, why bother thinking about it.”

Yuan Busheng was about to speak when he found that the road in front of him was blocked.

Zhou Jiuling said with a smile, "Today is the day when He Jixiang returns with his army and defeats Han Hui's rebels in one fell swoop. It is true that there are no empty soldiers despite the great reputation. From then on, Yuezhou and Hongzhou are all at peace with the prince.

You and I have been operating in Yuezhou and Hongzhou for many years, so we naturally know how much taxes there are. "

Yuan Busheng looked at the cheering crowds on both sides of the road and the high-spirited officers and soldiers, and sighed, "If we capture Nanzhou again, we will get a third of the world's taxes."

The two of them looked at each other, and it seemed that it was not impossible to win the world with the prince!

Thinking of this, the two people's hearts suddenly became warm.

Due to the return of the Sanhe army, the streets of Baiyun City were deserted.

The fireworks were set off before dark and lasted until late at night.

　　Many people have become civilian husbands, and this trip is a lot of money.

Now that I am returning to my hometown in fine clothes, I naturally want to have fun.

The next morning, as soon as Lin Yi got up, he saw a group of old men sitting in the living room.

He said to Xie Zan, "Go and call those two old men over."

Then he went to wash up. After he had breakfast and arrived in the living room, he saw Zhou Jiuling and Yuan Busheng kneeling at the door.

“The prince is a thousand years old!”

As soon as the two of them saw Lin Yi, they shouted loudly in unison.

“Get up,”

Lin Yi sat lazily on the chair, yawned and said, "What time of the day is this? There's no need to come so early."

Zhou Jiuling and Yuan Busheng looked at Shanqi at the same time, and when they saw Shanqi nodding, they stood up carefully.

Zhou Jiuling boldly said, "The lower official was delighted to hear that the prince called me, and he was overjoyed. Now that I have seen him, I will die without regrets!"

As he spoke, tears rolled down the corners of his eyes.

Yuan Busheng was dumbfounded.

How can one be so shameless!

For a moment, he didn't know what to say.

Just keep silent.

Lin Yi said with a smile, "Wu Dinghou is indeed a very affectionate person."

Hearing this, Zhou Jiuling was so frightened that his knees went weak. He knelt on the ground and said, "My lord, forgive me!"

“This is the title given to you by the current Emperor Zhengchang,”

Lin Yi took the tea cup from Xiao Xizi and said with a smile, "You should feel honored and don't be dissatisfied."

　　"Xiaguan is a person with the prince in life, and a ghost with the prince in death!"

Zhou Jiuling was quick to think and said loudly, "Be loyal to the prince!"

"What's the use of being a ghost?"

Lin Yili was happy, "Get up, don't kneel down all the time, you can bear it, and I, the floor, can't bear it either."

“The lower official is guilty.”

Zhou Jiuling stood up, wanting to laugh but not daring to.

“There is nothing I can repay for your life-saving grace, Your Majesty!”

Yuan Busheng saw Lin Yi looking at him and said hurriedly, "I will hold the whip and stirrup for the prince. I am willing to be a pawn!"

"sit down,"

Lin Yi waved his hand and said, "Come here, serve tea. Take out the Yunwu tea that Mr. He brought back from Hongzhou. It can also be regarded as borrowing flowers to offer to Buddha."

“Thank you, Your Majesty!”

Yuan Busheng and Zhou Jiuling, who had just sat down, stood up together with the others.

Lin Yi said calmly, "I heard that you let that **** Huang Sifang run away?"

He Jixiang knelt down with a slight trembling and said, "My lord, please forgive me."

“Hey, get up, now that you are old, you can kneel to me at every turn, and you are not afraid of losing my life.”

Lin Yi waved his hand helplessly again, "Let it go, let it go, this world will become even more chaotic in the future, and it won't get better."

He had no intention of pursuing the blame, after all, the matter was over.

There is absolutely no point in pursuing accountability.

Just sighing that these old men are much more ruthless than him.

“Thank you, Your Majesty!”

He Jixiang quickly stood up and sat down.

Zhou Jiuling and Yuan Busheng were shocked. How could they let Huang Sifang go without authorization?

Shanqi said, "The Shibo Division sent ten thousand taels of silver yesterday. Please give me your instructions."

Whether this money should be given to the Chief Secretary or to the Prince's Mansion, we have to ask.

“Ten thousand taels of silver? Can this king take it seriously?”

Shan Qi happily said something about the wisdom of the prince, when he heard Lin Yi continue, "Of course, keep it in your pocket."

Everyone was dumbfounded.

The first words make people feel happy, but the second part makes them want to hit someone.

“Yes, I will ask someone to send the money over in a moment.”

Shanqi was helpless and was really happy for nothing.

Lin Yi put down the tea cup and said with a smile, "Hongzhou and Yuezhou have been calmed down in front of us. Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Bian. The roads must be repaired."

“Don’t worry, my lord,” Bian Jing said with a smile, “I’ll start repairing it in a few days.”

With the peasants back, there will no longer be a shortage of manpower.

Lin Yi nodded and was about to continue speaking when Fang Pi ran over and said, "Your Majesty, that guy is here again."

Lin Yi smiled and said, "How long has he been in Sanhe?"

The **** sent by the boss of his family to announce the edict, he never let anyone in, but the young **** refused to leave, so he stayed in Jinfu Restaurant.

Fang Pi said, "Your Majesty, it's been two months."

“It’s been so long?”

Lin Yi frowned and sighed, "Let him come in and send him away quickly so that he won't bother me again in the future."

Fang Pi ran out in a hurry.

Soon a young **** with a fair face and beard was brought in.

“Greetings to the prince!”

The little **** hugged Fochen and bowed, "Our family finally meets the prince."

"what do you say that is?"

Lin Yi couldn't remember the eunuch's name for a while.

Xiao Xizi smiled and said, "He is He Lian, He Jin's godson."

After hearing this, the little **** straightened up and said loudly, "Yes, our family is He Lian!"

Your Majesty, are you ready? "
