After the registration was done, the workers of each kiln went back as fast as they could to send the unsold pottery over to compensate others.
If the compensation was not enough, the people were not allowed to buy glaze from the kilns.
The people of Wugong County had already left on fast horses.
The people of Wugong County in Chang 'an had their hearts sunk to the bottom.
They knew it was useless to use money. Li Yi wanted revenge. He was not short of money.
Ask the officials for help? Ask who? Ask the County Magistrate of Wugong County?
The inferior pottery that was given this time involved the people of Chang 'an and Wannian counties.
How could the County Magistrate of Wugong County be compared to the Chang 'an County Magistrate and Wannian County Magistrate?
The two County Magistrates were not depressed? It was a good idea, but the people were angry.
There were no contracts, only verbal statements and records of how much clay was sent.
The two County Magistrates and the two Junior Magistrates of the Governor's Office could only watch the people suffer losses, but they could not help with the law.
Now that Wugong County suffered losses, how could they ask the County Magistrate to find them? Not to mention whether the County Magistrate dared to do so, how could he have the face to ask?
The matter was so big that the Palace would know about it.
Li Yi had a new glaze, and he would sell it to everyone except Wugong County. Curious?
You will know if you ask around. Oh, so you … …
As for finding other ways to take revenge on Zhuangzi, for example, when it was dark and quiet at night.
It was said that Zhuangzi had important military equipment from the Tang dynasty, so it was guarded by the Thousand Bull Guards.
If they were caught, they would explain that they wanted to slap Li Yi to vent their anger. Would anyone believe them?
It was clearly a crime of colluding with the enemy to snatch the secret recipe of the new military equipment.
The people of Chang 'an found it interesting. The girls in Pyong Kang Square cheered. Another one was killed.
"Our Li Lang is such a good person. He never looks for trouble, but some people think he is easy to bully." The girls chatted.
"That's right. Why don't they learn from their mistakes? They hit the wall one by one, and there are still people behind them."
"Just like the corrupt officials, those who are investigated feel that their lives are not good, but those who are not investigated are still greedy and can't be killed."
"I don't know who will bump into me next time. I remember Li Lang said that good words can't persuade a damned ghost."
"The Imperial Examination will begin in a few days. Is Li Lang not going to take it? I really want to see Li Lang take first place. "
"Of the 42 students from Zhuangzi High School, it's best that no one fails the exam."
"How could he fail? Who would dare to fail? Aren't you afraid that Li Lang will be angry? "
The imperial examinations that they were talking about would begin on the 18th of February. Today was the 13th of February.
There were still five days left. The exam venue would be used for a few days. There were many subjects, so they would take turns. They would not take the exam together, and the questions would be different.
Li Yi had already made preparations for the banquet tomorrow. He had seen Gao Lishi today.
"General Gao, I've only found two low-ranking officials in the Ministry of Personnel. Can I find a higher-ranking one?" Li Yi asked.
Gao Lishi came over to take more porcelain and other things. He also took bribes.
Seeing that Li Yi did not find anyone, he smiled and said, "Li Dongzhu, what do you think of Cui Riyong?"
Li Yi, "…"
He knew about Cui Riyong.
The Minister of Personnel was now called Cui Riyong.
Cui Riyong was an interesting person. He always stood on the right side, but he always committed crimes.
During Li Longji's Black Tortoise Gate incident, he took the initiative to participate. After that, he became the Prime Minister, but he was dealt with. He lost his position after a few days.
Then, when he was dealing with Princess Taiping, Li Longji asked Cui Riyong what to do. Cui Riyong gave him an idea and hid it from Li Dan.
He succeeded and became the Minister of Personnel. There was no Prime Minister anymore.
He knew the information, but could he invite the Minister of Personnel?
"General Gao, will he agree?" Li Yi felt that there was no problem with a Minister coming to play.
"Leave this to me. Li Dongzhu, listen carefully." Gao Lishi guaranteed.
"Then I'll leave it to you." Li Yi said. He went to take back a big bag of dried meat floss and gave it to Gao Lishi.
Gao Lishi did not like to eat dried meat floss. He took it back and gave it to the other 'nobles' in the palace. He did not give it to Empress Wang. Empress Wang had a direct supply.
If Empress Wang wanted to eat something, she would send someone to Earthly Paradise. If Earthly Paradise did not have it, she would immediately send someone to Zhuangzi.
Others did not have this treatment. If they wanted to eat, they had to send a message to Empress Wang. Empress Wang would help arrange it.
Li Longji did not care about the affairs of the harem. In the past, he could change ten women a day. Now, he only went to find another woman once every two or three days.
It was useless to blow pillow talk. He was waiting for Empress Wang's child to be born.
In order to help Li Longji and Empress Wang stabilize the harem, Gao Lishi would try to get along well with others.
He went back happily with a lot of things and found Cui Riyong.
"Minister Cui, Li Family Zhuangzi has a poetry conference for the Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs tomorrow. I wonder if you are free?"
Gao Lishi said a few words, threw down the gift, and left.
Cui Riyong was depressed. What did he mean? The imperial examination is coming. I still have to go and socialize? Someone came to Gao Lishi through the connections?
He hesitated. After thinking about it, he went to find Yao Chong.
Yao Chong was ready to get off work. It was another day. What should he eat at night?
"Prime Minister Yao Chong, you haven't left yet?" Cui Riyong asked when he saw that Yao Chong was leaving.
"Minister Cui, you haven't left either?" Yao Chong replied politely.
"Alas! I was about to leave, but Gao Lishi came and said that the Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs will be holding a poetry conference at Li Family Zhuangzi's place.
There are only a few days left until the imperial examination. He must want us to make things easier for him. I really don't want to go, so I came to you to ask for a solution. "
Cui Riyong made it clear that he didn't want to go. Yao Chong, help him.
Yao Chong looked at him in a daze. His expression was complicated.
He wanted to strangle Cui Riyong. If you don't want to go, then don't go. You asked me. If you didn't go to Li Family Zhuangzi after leaving my place, wouldn't I tell you not to go?
You …
Yao Chong was convinced. He knew that the only thing he could do now was to persuade Cui Riyong to go and participate in that poetry conference.
Even if Cui Riyong was sick, he had to bring him there.
Otherwise, if word got out that Cui Riyong went to find Yao Chong, Cui Riyong would reject Li Yi's invitation.
What would Her Majesty think? What would Li Yi think if he knew about this?
At such a crucial time, the imperial examination was about to start. Would Li Yi, that petty person, not take revenge?
If he took action, he wouldn't even know where the danger came from. Who would have thought that Wugong County would give him inferior pottery, and Li Yi would sell new glazed pottery?
"Minister Cui, poetry recitals, poetry recitals are good. Li Yi was originally a talented person, and the forty-two students at his manor two years ago were also not bad.
Think about it. How many good things did Li Yi bring out that would benefit the country and the people? Her Majesty thinks highly of it. She hopes that there will be more talents available. Her Majesty is also doing this for the people. "
Yao Chong said 'Your Majesty' three times in a row, instructing the other party. His Majesty wanted 42 students.
So you should go and get to know them. Don't dismiss them at the last moment.
"But he wants me to go to Zhuangzi …" Cui Riyong knew, but he didn't feel comfortable.
"He is an imperial physician. He is lower than you. You are a standard third rank. The key is that there are good things in Zhuangzi. Li Yi is generous. For example, Huai Shen's house and the medicine he gave Zhigu after he fell sick."
Yao Chong continued to pressure him. Think carefully. Li Yi can give you money and treat your illness.
It's easy for you not to go. You just offended Her Majesty, and then someone in your family fell sick …
Cui Riyong never felt that a standard third rank minister with real power was comparable to a standard fourth rank official. But he understood.
"Thank you for telling me. I will go tomorrow to choose talents for the country!" Cui Riyong clasped his fist.
"You must go." Yao Chong clasped his fist. If you don't go, I will teach you a lesson.
