After Lo Qi left, Gong Dai looked at the map that was filled with markings and fell into deep thought.
In the past few days, he had roughly decided on the route of the national road. Because of the official road as the foundation, the route was quite clear. He had also sent a team out to survey the terrain. The construction of the road had officially begun. This work was not complicated.
If he left it to Lo Qi, he should be able to do it well.
Gong Dai flipped through the account books again. Every month, he did not need to look through many account books. They were all general accounts. Right now, he had more than a thousand banks and three thousand shops under his name. Not to mention the fields and manors, the amount of account books that he needed to look through every month piled up like a mountain.
It was a good thing that Gong Dai used the addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division method that GongYimo taught him. He also used Arabic numerals. Otherwise, it would not just be a mountain, it would be several mountains.
These account books were specially calculated by Gong Dai's subordinates. After the numbers were changed, no one could understand them. Then, it was reported to the higher-ups and reduced layer by layer. When it reached Gong Dai's hands, there were only about ten books left!
It was not a big deal that each book was thicker than a copper coin. Bai Sheng had to look through hundreds of books in a month. The thickness was even more shocking!
Gong Dai flipped through a few books. He just patiently looked at them. There was no other way. The Royal Sister did not like to look at these. So when he was young, he felt sorry for the Royal Sister and learned arithmetic early. But after he learned how to look at accounts, the Royal Sister never touched the account books again. She really trusted him!
Why did he feel a little sad?
Because he missed the Royal Sister. He missed her so much … …
During this time, he did not dare to think too deeply about her past. The moment they met, he would personally confirm it! But now, he just purely missed her. He missed her a lot … …
Gong Dai sighed. In the end, he held the account books and thought, what if he gave all this work to Bai Sheng? The more he thought about it, the more he felt it was a good idea. What to do?!
Bai Sheng, who was bent over the table looking at the account books, suddenly sneezed. He looked at the nearly one hundred account books beside him and then pinched his cheeks that were becoming thinner by the day. He wondered if he should ask for sick leave and let wang ye look at the account books himself.
After receiving the letter from Long City and knowing that Gong Dai was fine, GongYimo heaved a sigh of relief.
However, she felt that Gong Dai was a little strange. In the past … when he replied to her letters, his words were just like his personality. There was a faint gentleness in his coldness. However, this time, she clearly felt that he was suppressing something. Could it be that something had happened to him that he didn't want her to know?
GongYimo wondered if he had been poisoned.
She couldn't help but glare at Si Wuyan. "You really made the Snow Clan stop?"
Si Wuyan saw that she was suspecting him, and his eyes flashed with hostility. "GongYimo, are you saying that I'm faking it?"
GongYimo rubbed her nose. Why was he so angry? She was just asking.
Si Wuyan frowned. He himself didn't understand. There were so many people who misunderstood him. Why was it that GongYimo misunderstood him so much that he couldn't accept it? So he angrily lowered his head and didn't say anything.
GongYimo saw that he was silent and glanced at him.
Si Wuyan, who was wearing a dragon robe, looked awkward no matter how one looked at him. He was filled with hostility, especially when he was reading the booklets. In the end, he would throw away every booklet he read. His gloomy anger was burning in the entire Yuhua Palace.
GongYimo picked up a book from the ground and looked at it. She found that it was an impeachment report. It was reasonable and didn't seem to be slandering. However, since Si Wuyan was so angry, it was obvious that this impeachment report was about someone from their camp.
"Huala —"
He suddenly waved his hand and swept all the memorials to the ground. That handsome face under the purple gold crown was distorted. The anger in his heart was probably going to burn his eyebrows!
"What's going on?" GongYimo bent down to pick up another memorials. The contents were more or less the same.
"These people! They are in the position, but they don't think about their duties. They only know how to flatter the Empress Dowager and be her dog! "
GongYimo stared at the memorials and didn't even raise her head. "Are you jealous? You also want a dog that will hit whoever you want, don't you? "
Si Wuyan glared at her. After a while, he said, "I don't want a dog. I want capable people! This world can't be occupied by those lackeys who only care about chasing after their instincts. Those bastards will eventually become my foundation cushion! "
As he said this, he thought of something. He suppressed his anger and picked up the cinnabar brush again to continue marking! Because these memorials also had important matters, but when it came to him, they were all trivial matters. However, he still seriously marked them down and issued orders to carry them out.
GongYimo had been watching coldly during this period of time. She found that Si Wuyan still had some ambition and his heart could be considered upright.
Just like the Empress Dowager, she never looked at the memorials when they were in her hands. Instead, she gave them to one of her male companions called Lan Ci. Therefore, from a certain point of view, Lan Ci had a higher status than Si Wuyan!
Time passed quickly. GongYimo read while Si Wuyan marked memorials. When he finished his work, he saw GongYimo who was engrossed in reading.
In her hands was an ancient book that was as thick as a brick. Although he didn't know what it was about, it didn't look very interesting. At this time, he was slightly moved. He felt that GongYimo's ability to reach where she was today was inseparable from her eagerness to learn.
She was clearly young, but when she read, she gave people a sense of silence as if she had read a lot. Time flew by, and she seemed to have stopped outside.
Being stared at by Si Wuyan like this, GongYimo closed the book in her hands and asked in puzzlement, "What's wrong?"
Si Wuyan's originally calm face suddenly became fierce. He seemed to always be like this, baring his fangs and brandishing his claws at all times, as if he was afraid that others would think that he was easy to bully.
"Why? I just think that you're a useless woman. You're so useless. Should I give you the antidote?" He raised his eyebrows and smiled wickedly, waiting for GongYimo to get angry.
Unexpectedly, GongYimo looked at the book in her hands, then looked at him and suddenly laughed.
"Si Wuyan, are you feeling inferior?"
Si Wuyan instantly exploded! "GongYimo, don't think that I don't dare to kill you. At most, we'll fight to the death!"
GongYimo giggled. "I just saw that there were mistakes in the booklets that you were reading."
Si Wuyan saw that they were making trouble out of nothing in those booklets just now and couldn't help but scold them with a cinnabar pen! That was why GongYimo saw it.
Hearing this, Si Wuyan's face turned red. He was so ashamed that he wanted to die!
GongYimo watched his handsome face turn red, then purple, and finally calm down a little. He sneered.
"Yes, my literacy is limited. So what?"
Who said that an emperor had to be knowledgeable? Wouldn't it be better to be like his Imperial Mother, who knew how to use people?
GongYimo giggled as she walked forward and sat beside Si Wuyan's desk.
"Because I'm afraid that you'll say that I'm useless and I'll teach you how to read in the future?"
Si Wuyan snorted. "No need! If you have the time, why don't you help me think of a way to make a comeback! "
He was naturally intelligent, but the Empress Dowager was afraid of nurturing a tiger, so not only did she destroy his meridians so that he couldn't practice martial arts, she also forbade him from studying!
