"Line up, line up properly. Don't bring anything you shouldn't bring. Let me tell you, every year there are examinees who cheat and are dismissed."
While the soldiers of Song Zhou and Tubo were fighting, the imperial examination in Chang 'an had already begun.
The examinees brought their things into Fang Lin Court. Li Yi sent 220 students here.
The officials of the Ministry of Personnel shouted, and the examinees entered the tents for inspection.
They were searched from the inside out. Since Li Yi mentioned how to cheat last year, the Ministry of Personnel had taken measures.
The students were only allowed to wear one set of clothes. They were not allowed to bring food, brushes, ink, or inkstones.
The examination hall distributed the food. The chef was specially invited from Li Family Zhuangzi. The ingredients were also provided by Li Family Zhuangzi.
The students took off their clothes and waited by the stove. The officials of the Ministry of Personnel looked at their clothes carefully.
The students who came for the examination in the past all wore good clothes. The provincial government gave them money for drinking in their hometown.
The same went for the tributes. They were talents from the local area.
But it was only one year. If they didn't pass the examination, the local government wouldn't continue to give them money.
The students needed to spend their family's money or find a job in Chang 'an.
"Wearing thin clothes in winter?" The officials of the Ministry of Personnel glanced at one of the students whose clothes were being turned over.
The students didn't feel ashamed when they took off their clothes. Everyone took off their clothes. When they heard someone ask about their clothes, they blushed.
"Seeing that the imperial examination was approaching, I pawned my thick clothes because I had no money," the student answered softly.
The official took a long robe from the side and measured it with the student's body. "It can be worn."
Another official handed over a pair of boxers and linen underwear to the student. "Wear these. Although the court has floor heating, it's still a bit cold."
The student looked at the clothes and showed an expression of disbelief. "New clothes?"
"Why would Li Family Zhuangzi let you wear old clothes? When the examination is over, someone from Li Family Zhuangzi will ask for your clothes back. "
The officials didn't need to check anymore. They let the students wear their clothes and entered the examination hall from the back door.
The students of Li Family Zhuangzi entered the tents and took off their clothes. They took off all their clothes and put them on.
They were even faster. They went to their respective places.
He looked at where the toilet was and then went in another direction to see what food was available.
When you need to eat during the exam, you have to tell the invigilator what you want to eat. The invigilator will record the number and place the food on the plate according to the number.
This was the first time that the students had encountered such an imperial examination. Other than the imperial court, everything else was handled by the imperial court.
"Take a menu and go. Say the number when you eat." The officials outside the kitchen called the students to take the menu.
There were twelve dishes, two main dishes, and two soups. There were also samples for the students to see.
"Xiao Yi, shall we go to Earthly Paradise for dinner?"
Li Yi sat on the shaft of his ambulance and swung his legs. Bi Goo came out of the Imperial City.
This place was close to the Anfu Gate, and there was also the Yeting Palace next to it.
"Old Bi, aren't you busy at the Ministry of Revenue?" Li Yi moved two folding chairs to the side.
Bi Goo sat down and said, "How can the Minister do it personally? You have to give the other officials a chance to improve."
"Are you distressed about 180 yuan?" Li Yi asked with a smile.
"It's 10,000 yuan. Don't worry about 180 yuan. The people are very happy. All the counties want to give His Majesty tens of thousands of yuan. "
Bi Goo finally gave the money according to Li Yi's method.
He directly called out 1.8 million taels of silver to repair roads in the capital and to repair houses for people with poor economic conditions.
The people in Chang 'an ran outside the Imperial City and kowtowed to thank His Majesty.
Bi Goo was depressed. He forgot to mention that only the people in 20 counties would repair houses. Chang 'an and Wannian County were not counted.
The people in Chang 'an had a good life. Li Yi found a job for them. Now he was going to pick tea leaves and sell them to the Li Family Zhuangzi.
Before he could say anything, the people who needed to repair houses knelt down and kowtowed. It seemed that they had to do it.
"Old Bi, I have a new idea. When the river is not so cold, I will use it. Will the Ministry of Revenue invest?"
Li Yi wanted to make some money from the Ministry of Revenue. Then the Ministry of Revenue would have more money to build infrastructure.
"Yes … No. You can ask His Majesty." Bi Goo wanted to say yes.
After thinking about it, Li Yi always asked His Majesty for big deals. He could not take His Majesty's money.
"If I cooperate with His Majesty, can I still make money?" Li Yi spread his hands.
"How do you want to invest?" Bi Goo reached out and touched Li Yi's head to comfort him.
"You invest in the construction of the water net in the entire capital. It has to be three feet wide and six to eight feet deep. Lay the bridge."
As Li Yi spoke, he went into the car and took out a piece of paper.
The names of the 20 counties in the capital were marked on the paper. On the paper was a waterway grid drawn between the counties.
It connected to the rivers of the other main streams and provided water for those rivers.
According to the design, every village in the county could be connected.
"How much money do you need?" Bi Goo counted. The additional confluence was drawn with a blue line and the existing rivers were drawn with a red line.
Among them, Lantian County had more existing rivers and less investment.
The other counties only had one or two small rivers. It was a lot of work to dig them manually.
"1.8 million won't be enough to build roads and houses. We can do it together and dig out the canals."
Li Yi did not ask for much money. 1.8 million was not a small amount.
Bi Goo glanced at Li Yi. "You don't want me to use that money. Of course, I know it won't be enough. If you build the rivers, where will you make money? "
"Old Bi, lay out the water net to make it easier for the people to water. Make money. Boats. I have a new boat that any child can control. "
Li Yi smiled as he spoke of his plan.
"You build the boat. I'll take a look. If you have a boat, sell it to make money? "
Bi Goo believed that Li Yi had a new boat, but he did not know how to calculate the money.
"Lease. We'll split the money. Your Ministry of Revenue is in charge of the water net. I, Zhuangzi, am in charge of all the boats. There are many, and the cost is high. We also need to maintain it later. "
Li Yi gestured as he spoke, as if he had paid a high price.
"The money collected must be calculated as gross profit. Zhuangzi will be in charge of the maintenance." Bi Goo made a request. He could not deduct the cost of building the boat and maintenance and split it in half.
"Naturally. Otherwise, the cost of digging the canals and maintaining the canals will be deducted." Li Yi agreed. Both sides did not calculate the cost.
"Good." Bi Goo agreed.
"Another thing. Cotton needs to be planted this year. Cancel the harmony of the people in the capital. The mulberry and hemp fields will become cotton fields."
Li Yi mentioned the matter he wanted to promote. It was the cotton planting season.
Bi Goo nodded again in agreement.
"Do you still want to go to Earthly Paradise for dinner?" Li Yi invited.
"There are many things to do in the Ministry of Revenue. I have to watch the progress of others." Bi Goo did not want to go. He had to go back to make arrangements.
He went back and went directly to the Political Affairs Hall.
"Good news. Li Yi has come up with a way to make money. He wants to cooperate with the Ministry of Revenue and split it in half …"
Bi Goo said the situation as if he was showing off. He was quite satisfied.
Yao Chong and the other two looked at each other and shook their heads.
"What … what's wrong?" Bi Goo felt guilty. What went wrong?
"Long Ze, Li Yi wants to promote cotton planting. He needs to water. The mulberry and hemp fields do not need as much water as cotton."
That was all Lu Huaishen said.
Bi Goo: "…"
"Xiao Yi, he … he schemed against me? He even helped the people water the fields. Didn't the people water the fields in the past? "
Bi Goo learned in an instant. Xiao Yi, you are so capable.
