Chapter 614: The image of Guanyin

“Msang Gong, there seems to be no holiday recently, right?”

Looking at the presents that are almost full of a whole room, after thinking about it, Ruyi asked in surprise.

This is not the most surprising place. On weekdays, my family does not have much contact with the officials and dignitaries in Kyoto. Even if it is a holiday, it is impossible to receive so many gifts.

The people who gave the gifts were all officials in Kyoto. Some were sent by the servants of the family, and some simply came in person. They were very polite. The butler would also be rejected if they invited them into the house for a cup of tea. It is strange to the extreme.

Li Yi waved his hand casually and said: “The lady doesn’t need to worry about this. In short, if someone gives a gift these days, I will accept it, don’t worry.”

This time I received the gift with peace of mind, without any psychological pressure.

Those officials in Kyoto still know how to ceremonially, and all they give are heavy gifts. Judging from this situation, the money they donated to the court on that day should have some reservations.

I just don’t know if they learned that the old emperor had only planned to clean up a few huge greeds. In order to stabilize the court, he decided to burn those account records. After letting others go, he would take back these gifts. go with.

However, these gifts should also be accepted.

After all, it took a lot of talking to persuade the old emperor to change his mind, and he didn’t get much benefit from it. Think about it, why bother…

……

……

After dealing with a few big corrupt officials, the wind and rain in the court finally calmed down.

Li Yi has never been to the court again, but he has heard that the personnel transfers in the court are more frequent in the past few days. The officials have been promoted and descended, similar to departments such as the Ministry of Households. , And was cleaned from beginning to end.

For this big action of the old emperor, everyone chose to be silent. The storm of investigating the corruption case has just passed and has not completely subsided. At this time, who dares to speak more, reminds your Majesty of something bad Matter, the old thing is brought up again, most officials in the court will not let him go.

The easiest person in the world to make money is indeed the emperor. He made nearly a million taels of silver immediately after he moved his mouth. He also established prestige in the court again, shocked a large number of people, and gathered a large number of people. I also took the opportunity to clean a large number of people. This is just a stone’s throw-this is a good deal no longer.

It’s easy to make money. It’s harder to get money from him than to get to the sky.

However, thirty thousand taels of silver is more than enough to repair a lake. In this era, labor is not worth money. Moreover, these silvers have to be reserved for more important tasks. How can they be spent on repairs in the future as scientific research funds? Above the little things like the lake.

……

……

The school schedule has changed these days.

From morning to night, dig the lake, go to class, dig the lake, and rest.

Digging a lake is not only about digging a lake, how deep, how to dig, how to dig the waterway, and how to design the waterway. These are all carefully calculated. If one thing is not done well, this course will not be qualified.

Yes, digging a lake is also a course.

This course is a compulsory course for all students. Whether it is a family or a poor student, two innovative credits must be obtained. Otherwise, even if the usual credits are full, they will not be able to graduate from the school.

It is said that the purpose of setting up this course is to enhance the physical fitness of the students in the School of Mathematical Sciences, exercise their ability to solve practical problems, teamwork ability, digging ability… etc.

Anyway, this is the dean’s good intentions. The poor students will not doubt it, and it is useless for the children of the official family to doubt. If you don’t dig, you can get away.

No one dares to disobey or underestimate this young dean, because no one knows when he will recommend you for an internship.

Everyone can see how dangerous it is to go out for an internship.

Li Jianren broke a leg. I heard that his life was almost gone. Chen Lisen was poisoned and his life was hanging by a thread. He was rescued after being filled with two catties of dung water. For him, I am afraid that he is now alive than dead. Still uncomfortable.

The outcome of the other people was not so good. The sickness and injuries were even more unacceptable. They paid so much and were eventually expelled from the academy by your majesty’s decree, and will never Being hired by the court, he can only be a dude for a lifetime, and his original bright future is ruined…

So, these dudes who have not had much hardship in their entire lives, these days, they can only lay down their dignity and pride, dig the lake and transport the soil with the poor students, eat a big pot of rice, and sleep in the same room…

As the dean of the school, Li Yi is certainly not in the school.

Li Han will help him supervise things about digging the lake and attending classes. He is very active in this kind of things. Because he works well, he has enough vacations, brings enough guards, and can play anywhere.

For Li Han, who grew up in the palace, the outside world is infinitely attractive.

Li Yi has been busy these days. Ruyi’s mood is not right these days, so she can only change her way to make her happy. He also went to the palace to learn a few new dishes and produced the first series. The colorful colored glaze beads were given to her, but Xiaohuan and Miss Liu Er jealously did not give them for several days.

Lao Fang mysteriously walked in from outside, put an object covered with red cloth on the table, and asked in a low voice: “Uncle, how much do you think this thing is worth?”

He lifted the red cloth, and a crystal-clear Guanyin statue about one foot high appeared in front of Li Yi’s eyes.

The statue of Guanyin is vivid and vivid, the facial features are clearly distinguishable, and the expression is also very vivid~IndoMTL.com~ Under the sunlight, it gives a strong visual impact.

Li Yi doesn’t understand the market, but the more transparent things are more precious in this world, this statue of Guanyin is definitely something worth fighting for for those Buddhist believers. He originally planned to The price was not considered for the old lady, but if you think about it carefully, the cost of this item is not low. The cost of equipment, materials, and spiritual loss plus the labor cost of the master, you have to have a dollar or two to sell. Five thousand taels is not too much, right?

Through the events of the court a few days ago, he also roughly understood the background of the noble officials in Kyoto. Five thousand taels of silver, there are many people in Kyoto who can afford it.

“Uncle, there are a few monks outside who said they want to see you, should I let them…” Xiaohuan walked to the door, and as soon as he spoke, his eyes were attracted by the transparent Guanyin image, and he couldn’t move away. .

“Monk?” A hint of doubt appeared on Li Yi’s face and said, “Let them in first.”

Last time Ruyi said that the old monk Tanyin asked him to go to Hanshan Temple to discuss meditation. Li Yi has not been there. I am afraid that the old monk has found him this time?

Sure enough, when a shiny head appeared in front of him, the face of the old monk Tan Yin also appeared.

“Amitabha, Xiaoli benefactor, long time no see.” The old monk Tan Yin’s smile was still so kind and said with a Buddhist ceremony.

“Long time no see the master.”

Li Yixin said that whatever he needs, he can just ask the old monk how much this statue of Guanyin is worth, so he has a reference price in his mind.

“Master, come here, help me see how valuable this Guanyin image is.”

The smile on Li Yi’s face was very eager, and he casually ordered the little maid: “Xiaohuan, Master Tan Yin is a distinguished guest. Go and ask the kitchen to prepare a table of good wine and good dishes, eight meat and eight vegetables, remember to cut in two. Two pig ears, you need garlic…”
