"Boy, don't think you won this time. We still have a long time to live. We'll see."
"You are really a good dog by His Majesty's side. It gives His Majesty a good opportunity to rectify his administration, but you won't succeed so easily."
"Boy, you are playing with fire. Don't burn yourself when the time comes. It won't look good."
After the emperor left, all the officials immediately came up and shouted angrily at Li Baiyi. If they hadn't innocently drawn their swords to block him, they might have torn Li Baiyi to pieces.
"Hmph, yellow-mouthed kid, we'll see."
"I don't believe you can continue to be so arrogant."
After the officials vented their feelings, they started to leave, and Li Baiyi breathed a sigh of relief.
These moths all seem to be very reasonable. This world is really a mess of black and white.
Tianzhen sheathed her sword and turned to look at Li Baiyi: "You haven't even started to deal with corrupt officials, but people have already started targeting you. Just be careful."
The prince who was not far away also came over: "Brother, you have to take it easy. You have indeed made a great contribution this time, but you have offended many people because of it."
"I think you should keep a low profile in the next period of time, otherwise, there will definitely be many people who want to deal with you."
Li Baiyi immediately patted him on the shoulder and said: "Don't worry, I know what I should do and I will keep a low profile."
He said he was low-key, but he showed an indifferent expression. What these guys did was not taken seriously by Li Baiyi.
As long as his father and emperor remain in power, no matter how fierce others are, it will be in vain!
"Brother, so many people are still here. Shouldn't we let them disperse?"
The prince glanced downstairs at the city gate and said.
Li Baiyi came back to his senses, quickly stretched out his head, looked at the crowd of people, stuck out his tongue, and almost forgot about them.
The common people had heard that the emperor was coming and were too frightened to say a word. They didn't know what was going on above. When they saw Li Baiyi showing his head, they quickly started chirping and asking.
"Young Master, has His Majesty left?"
"County Magistrate Li, do you still have the job of driving the carriage as you mentioned? See if I can do it."
"I'll take the one hundred taels. Where can the young master go to collect the money?"
"Young Master, can I book a carriage ride for a month first? My family needs money."
Li Baiyi's head hurt due to the noise from the people, and he quickly waved to everyone: "Okay, okay, everyone, please be quiet."
After the people were completely quiet, Li Baiyi said: "Don't worry, everyone, this horse carriage thing must be true."
"Not only the work arranged by me is true, but also the work arranged by the imperial court."
Upon hearing this, the people couldn't help but whisper among themselves, wondering why Li Baiyi wanted to support the court this time.
"My young master said that. Does that mean that even cabinet officials who ask us to drive carriages can be paid for it?"
A commoner couldn't help but ask: "Young Master, if the work given by the cabinet officials can be paid, if I drive a carriage to the North City Gate, can I really be given two thousand five hundred taels?"
"Yes, yes, young master, do you really have so much money?"
The people rushed to ask.
Li Baiyi couldn't help but have a dark look on his face, and tried his best to speak calmly: "Don't worry, everyone, the court will definitely give you money, but not that much. It's the same as mine, it's one hundred taels."
"The reason why the court holds such an event this time is to prove to everyone that Dakun's court means what it says and is worthy of the people's trust."
Hearing Li Baiyi's guarantee, the people present had initial trust in the imperial court's event. Li Baiyi continued: "This activity lasted for a whole month. My share was also paid for by the imperial court to express my sincerity to everyone." .”
"In order to ensure that more people can benefit, every person who gets the opportunity to drive a carriage will be recorded in the book. Each person only has one chance."
"Any common people who want to participate in driving the carriage must make a record with the officials appointed by the court one day in advance. They must be ordinary people, they cannot have official status, they cannot be rich, and they cannot be scholars, even if they have passed the provincial examination You can’t take part in it either.”
"If there are too many people participating, the court will select some of these people, up to twenty people, to carry the carriage."
Hearing this, the people couldn't help but be stunned: "Didn't you say you were driving a carriage? Why are you carrying a carriage now?"
"It would be a little more difficult if we were carrying a carriage, but it doesn't matter. There are more people and more strength."
"But if there are too many people participating, how will the money be divided at that time? Or will it be one hundred taels per person?"
"It's impossible. One hundred taels per person, so the court would have to spend at least one thousand taels of silver every day. It's too much."
Li Baiyi heard the people's discussion and immediately said with a smile: "Don't worry about the money. The total amount remains unchanged and the reward is one hundred taels per day. Therefore, the number of participants is limited. A maximum of twenty people can participate. It is guaranteed that at least each person can Got five taels of silver."
"Five taels is not bad. It can keep up with the hard work I did for two months."
"If you want to carry a carriage, just carry it. It won't be easy if twenty people carry it together."
"But how do you choose who is qualified to carry the carriage? And it is said that only ordinary people are allowed to participate. If those ruffians also want to participate, can we still stop it?"
"Yes, even if the imperial court really distributes the money, what if we take it back secretly? There is nothing we can do to stop it, don't you think so?"
Li Baiyi heard the people's discussion and immediately said to the people with a smile: "Don't worry, everyone. I can assure you that nothing you are worried about will happen. I and the court will ensure that the money is distributed to everyone smoothly. in the hands of the people who participated in the event.”
"This event was ordered by His Majesty to make the people trust the court and support the court's next activities."
"Your Majesty will ensure that there will be no major mistakes in this event. If anyone dares to tamper with it, they will definitely be hit. I would also like to warn those with evil intentions to do what they want, and don't say it was unforeseen."
"Your Majesty and the Crown Prince will pay attention to this event and ensure the interests of the people. You can rest assured."
"Okay, it's getting late. Let's disperse first. The court will send someone to register names today, so please pay more attention."
"Thank you young master for reminding me."
"Thank you, Magistrate Li."
After the people thanked him one after another, they dispersed.
Looking at the bustling crowd, Li Baiyi couldn't help but smile. These people were really easy to fool, and he sent them away with just a few taels of silver.
