When the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Works heard this, they hurriedly said, "Your Majesty is wise."
That's right, it's only decent if we all do it together.
Lao Zhu said: "Just talking like this doesn't encourage you. I'm afraid you won't work hard for us. So let's do it. Let's also follow the example of Bingma Division and Guanya Bureau and conduct a performance appraisal. Before the Mid-Autumn Festival next year, we must The albums are collected in the Hanlin Academy and the Imperial Academy. They are graded according to the regional albums received by each department. If you do well, we will give you year-end rewards. If you do not do well, you will be punished. The Imperial Academy and the Imperial Academy each Receive half of the map publication summary. It’s the same. If you do well, we will reward you. If you do poorly, we will also punish you.”
Other officials who had been silent now could only respond: "I obey the order."
After setting up rewards and punishments, you can't do it even if you want to.
Chen Nanbin suddenly came out trembling and knelt on the ground: "I am guilty."
Lao Zhu raised his eyebrows: "Huh?! What's wrong, Master?"
Chen Nanbin: "The Imperial College did not teach geography."
Lao Zhu thought for a moment: "It doesn't matter, there are still nine months between now and next Mid-Autumn Festival. Start teaching now, and there will definitely be no problem in determining and summarizing by then."
Chen Nanbin was a little embarrassed: "I, I am incompetent." The key point is that he only knows a collection of classics and does not know geography and other miscellaneous subjects.
Lao Zhu thought for a while and said, "Liu Ji, you go to the Imperial College to teach geography for a few days every month. Make sure they understand basic geography knowledge."
Liu Ji hurriedly responded: "I obey the order."
Hearing that Zhu Bai had settled the funds for the Imperial College, his previous worries were gone, and he was just waiting for Lao Zhu's words.
Not to mention having the right to recommend talents, the people in the Imperial College are likely to be the pillars of the court in the future.
If you go to teach, you will have students, and you will be able to do things easily in the future.
Li Shanchang knelt down and said: "I sincerely ask the emperor to give me a chance to contribute to the country."
If Liu Bowen can understand things, of course he can.
You must sneak in, even teach calligraphy.
Lao Zhu sighed: "Master Li is really sharing our worries. Let's see. This year's Imperial College can only be opened with the donation of money from our twelfth son. Master Li will be responsible for next year's money until the imperial examination is completed."
Li Shanchang suddenly raised his head: "Ah..."
Lao Zhu asked Chen Nanbin: "Mr. Chen, how much did Lao Twelve donate?"
Chen Nanbin: "The King of Xiang donated one thousand taels of silver."
Lao Zhu looked at Li Shanchang with a half-smile but not a smile: "Then Master Li, just take two thousand taels. Let's find a way for the rest. In this way, we will definitely be able to survive until the end of the imperial examination."
Open your mouth and ask for two thousand taels of snowflake silver. Lao Zhu, why don’t you grab it?
Li Shanchang suppressed the urge to scream, lowered his head and said: "I will support the Imperial College even if I sell iron. However, I also want to tell all the students the "Taizu Instructions" and "Ming Dynasty Collection of Rites" compiled by my organization. Spread the majesty among the students.”
Lao Zhu thought for a while and said: "This is what I need to talk about. Li Xiyan, Master Li, you should also talk about it. You are rigorous in your studies, so you can improve the discipline of the Imperial College."
Li Xiyan hurriedly came out: "I obey the order."
Lao Zhu added: "Lu Ben, you also go and talk about the principles of integrity and justice as an official. It will be a good reminder to these future pillars of the court."
Lu Ben also agreed.
As a result, two of the three academician examiners have gone to the Imperial College. These two people must have taken the opportunity to recruit capable students to their sect.
Li Shanchang was very anxious and winked at Hu Weiyong.
Hu Weiyong stepped forward and saluted: "Your Majesty, Mr. Lu Ben is busy with official duties and sometimes he may not be able to take care of it. I sincerely ask the emperor to let Mr. Deng Zhen serve as Mr. Lu Ben's assistant."
Lao Zhu watched them fighting openly and secretly with cold eyes, pretending he didn't know, and nodded: "That's fine."
Zhu Bai secretly smacked his lips: "Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, it's so fun to compete for the position of a lecturer. When we said before that we would establish the Imperial College, you all stayed back."
After the court, the more Li Shanchang thought about Lao Zhu's fine of money today, the more he felt something was wrong.
The last time he was punished was because of the Zhongcheng Soldiers and Horses Department.
What's the reason this time?
Because of Ding Fu?
Although Ding Fu wanted to bribe Chen Nanbin, he failed in the end and was beaten by Zhu Bai.
If Lao Zhu's previous temperament was followed, the two matters would have been even.
It's not like he can't be punished.
It seems there is something else going on.
Seeing Zhu Biao and Zhu Bai both leaving the palace, Li Shanchang guessed that Lao Zhu was reading the book alone in the imperial study, so he went to see him.
Lao Zhu didn't see him and said he was not free.
This is definitely not a good sign.
Li Shanchang was very frightened and knelt down outside: "Your Majesty, I am guilty."
Lao Zhu said nothing.
Li Shanchang just lay on the ground and did not dare to move.
After kneeling for more than half an hour, Lao Zhu's faint voice came from inside: "Let him come in."
Li Shanchang hurriedly stood up, not daring to rub his sore legs and feet, and stumbled in.
After entering, he knelt down again and said, "The guilty minister Bai Shi is here."
Lao Zhu heard the word "hundred rooms" and raised his eyes from the memorial: "Tell me, what are your crimes?"
Li Shanchang kowtowed: "I am stupid."
Lao Zhu threw away the pen and looked at him with squinted eyes: "We have been ill for several days, and you and the consort didn't even send a condolence note. The Li family is very arrogant now."
Li Shanchang was shocked: Impossible. He was not sure whether Li Qi had made any mistakes. Because the two young couples live in another courtyard, they basically don't come to say hello. So he couldn't see Li Qi for several days.
But how could he, a veteran official like him, give up such a good opportunity to flatter him? !
As soon as he returned, he used his entire life's literary talents and wrote a nearly 10,000-word excerpt of sincere condolences, which made his own eyes red, and then immediately handed it over to Hu Weiyong.
What is the relationship between Hu Weiyong and him?
I absolutely don't have the guts and it's impossible to take his discount.
Then the only possibility is that Lao Zhu is telling lies with his eyes open, or Zhu Biao buckled down.
If he said he had written it, but for some reason it was not handed over to Lao Zhu in the end, wouldn't it be more like sophistry, or even blaming Zhu Biao or Lao Zhu? !
No, you can't say that.
What if the discount is found again in the future?
If he knocks out his teeth and swallows his blood now, and directly suffers the loss of being dumb, wouldn't he leave no escape route for himself?
Li Shanchang made a good plan in his heart and kowtowed again: "I originally wanted to visit the palace, but I was afraid of disturbing the emperor's rest."
Lao Zhu secretly sneered: That means no one came, and he didn't say a word.
You're here, you've spoken so clearly, and you still haven't admitted your guilt? !
We turned a blind eye to your little tricks, but you were ungrateful and instead became more arrogant and arrogant day by day.
It really chills us.
Haha, I can never spoil you again.
Lao Zhu lowered his eyes: "Okay, I'll punish you this time, forget it. Go down."
Li Shan took a long look at Lao Zhu, his lips moved, and without saying the last word, he kowtowed and went out dejectedly.
