There was something wrong with Fang the past few days. He always looked a little too excited. Li Yi noticed that his eyes were shining when he looked at the pile of sand at the entrance.
Something was wrong with the arrogant Lolita too. Li Yi noticed that her eyes were shining when she looked at him.
Fang's illness was incurable. He probably thought that money was floating in the sky. As for the arrogant Lolita, it was hard to guess what a girl was thinking. Li Yi didn't want to guess. At least for now, she hadn't made any further moves.
He had to teach Li Han how to use the debit and credit bookkeeping method.
After all, this was the first internship for the students of the School of Mathematics. They had to make some achievements so that they wouldn't be looked down upon by the imperial court.
Accounting was broad and profound. Tax evasion and falsification were all inseparable from this line of work.
If they were to learn these things systematically, the School of Mathematics would have to open a new accounting major. It would take four years for undergraduate students and three years for postgraduate students to be able to produce a few experts in this field.
Although the little fatty was a genius, he had only learned how to use the debit and credit bookkeeping method to check the accounts. However, it was enough for him. He couldn't use the more profound methods at the moment.
This world still used the very unscientific accounting method of keeping accounts. Keeping accounts by date made it very troublesome to check the accounts. If one wanted to falsify the accounts and take advantage of loopholes, it couldn't be any easier, and it wouldn't be easy for the higher-ups to find out.
Since the old Emperor was determined to fight against corruption this time, he would give him a big wave. Using this method to check the accounts, no small fly could hide from the big tiger …
While Li Yi was explaining the details to Monarch Jin, the arrogant Lolita was sitting on a small stool not far away. She supported her chin with one hand and blinked her eyes as she watched.
After a while, she put down her arms and clenched her fists. She murmured, "If I still don't marry him when I'm 18, I'll snatch him!"
…
…
After lunch, many students of the School of Mathematics gathered under the high wall where the results were posted. They were discussing something in low voices.
This time, the wall wasn't posted about the exam rankings. It was about something else.
The Imperial Censorate had been ordered by the Emperor to investigate the accounts of the various yamen in the capital. They had borrowed a dozen students from the School of Mathematics and Mathematics. The names of the students who had been lucky enough to be chosen were pasted on the paper.
"Chen Lisen, Qin Feng, Cui Xixin, Li Jianren, Ceng Zijian …"
After looking at the names on the list, many people immediately sighed, and their expressions were slightly gloomy.
It turned out that the principal's words weren't just empty words. The students of the academy could familiarize themselves with the bureaucracy and accumulate experience by going out for an internship. At the same time, they could also establish a foundation in the Ministry of Personnel, which would greatly benefit their future prospects.
This time, assisting the Imperial Censorate in auditing the accounts was the first opportunity for an academy student to participate in an internship.
Those who were lucky enough to be selected would be able to obtain enough credits after the internship. These credits were very important as they would determine whether or not they could successfully graduate from the Mathematics Academy in the future. If they missed this opportunity, they could only wait for the next one.
"Chen Lisen, Qin Feng … Sigh, all of them … Don't tell me that there's no chance for us poor students?"
"Shh, Brother Su, be careful with your words."
"This is only the first time. We will have more chances in the future."
…
…
The students from poor families discussed in low voices, and there were inevitably times when they sighed.
There was no other reason other than the fact that the eleven people on the list were all from aristocratic families, and none of them were poor students …
Compared to those people, the opportunities for poor students were pitifully few. Now that Dean Li was finally willing to do something for the poor students, they didn't expect that even the precious opportunity to go out for an internship would be treated so unfairly.
A student from a poor family sighed and said, "The principal has already done enough for us. Not only did he let us study here, he even applied for a living allowance from the imperial court. For this, he has already offended too many powerful officials. We cannot make things difficult for him anymore."
"Yes, we are indebted to Little Dean Li. We are poor students, so we definitely cannot do anything to make things difficult for him. Isn't that ungrateful!" Another student from a poor family said righteously. "This matter ends here, no further discussion is allowed. If you have the energy, go back and do a few more sets of simulation scrolls!"
A sound of agreement came from the crowd, and they quickly dispersed, returning to their respective classrooms.
On the other side, under a willow tree, several figures gathered together, and their expressions were not very good.
After a moment of silence, someone was finally the first to speak.
"That surnamed Li would definitely not give such a good thing to us, and it just had to be the eleven of us, not one more, not one less. There must be a trick in this!" Chen Lisen raised his head and said coldly.
"That's right!" Qin Feng nodded, and then said, "Qin Zhong and Chen Hao have already been eliminated by him. We have become a thorn in his side, a thorn in his flesh. This must be another plot of his!"
Cui Xixin was the calmest and most composed of them all. After thinking for a moment, he opened his mouth and said, "But, this matter of checking the accounts was ordered by His Majesty to supervise the Imperial Censorate. That surnamed Li has no right to interfere. We are only accompanying the Imperial Censorate to check the accounts. I really can't think of any conspiracy he could have."
"Xixin is right, I also can't think of any conspiracy in this." Another young man said, "Moreover, this is indeed an opportunity for us, we can't let it go easily."
The person who spoke was Zeng Zijian, whose father was the assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue. Among them, he could be regarded as a wise man.
Cui Xixin and Zeng Zijian's words were soon agreed by the others.
The reason why they came to the Arithmetic College was that they were not valued in their own families. The future master of the Chen family was Chen Lijun, not Chen Lisen. The Qin family had Qin Yu, and Qin Feng could not stand out. The Cui family naturally had nothing to do with Cui Xixin. Although they had powerful families behind them, they still had to fight for their own future.
As for Zeng Zijian, although he was the eldest son of the Zeng family, the Zeng family was just a new family in the capital city. More than ten years ago, it was involved in a big case. All the men of the eldest branch were killed, and the women entered the Musical House. The second branch gradually rose in recent years because of the relationship with the King of Shu.
One person gritted his teeth and said, "Even if there is a conspiracy, we are not necessarily afraid of him. The matter of checking the accounts is sensitive. If he really does something, His Majesty will not spare him!"
Chen Lisen nodded and said, "Yes, we might as well go and have a look. If there is really something fishy, then he is courting death."
Everyone readily agreed, and there was no longer any worry in their hearts.
