It’s okay for others, but Zijun is absolutely out of the question.
Even if it is the current emperor, we cannot give it to you.
Chang Xi only has one daughter. If she loses her daughter during a trip to Chang'an, she won't be able to explain to her when she returns.
When Yang Zijun heard what Li Er said, her heart tightened, as if she was afraid that the young master would give her away. She hurriedly walked to Qin Ming and grabbed the corner of his clothes and said:
"Son."
Qin Ming patted Yang Zijun's hand and comforted him softly:
"rest assured."
After speaking, he coughed twice and said in the direction of Li Shimin:
"Aunt, Uncle Li, there are still a few maids in my house who are learning arithmetic and double-entry bookkeeping. If Aunt doesn't mind, after they finish learning, I will lend two people to teach the accountants in your house. How are you?"
Li Shimin turned around with a smile and said:
"Thank you so much, nephew."
Although he didn't get the person he wanted most, the eldest grandson was quite satisfied with it.
She felt that since Qin Ming said this, he would not find a few people to fool her. She glanced at Qin Ming gratefully and said:
"Then there is Nephew Lao Xian. In a few days, aunt will ask Yuechan to go to your house to pick someone up. Don't just arrange a few maids to fool aunt."
Qin Ming hurriedly said:
"My nephew doesn't dare, please don't worry, aunt."
Li Xiaogong was a little moved after hearing Qin Ming's words, and he laughed at Qin Ming and said:
"Good nephew, I also have a lot of properties in my house, look at it."
Qin Ming nodded helplessly and said:
"My nephew, I will also arrange for a person to live in your house, but I have agreed that this person is only for loan to you, and you cannot give him to your nephew."
Hearing this, Li Xiaogong's face almost burst into laughter, and he quickly agreed:
"Don't worry, my dear nephew."
Changsun and Li Xiaogong were both satisfied with the result, so they sat on their seats and drank tea slowly.
At this time, Li Shimin remembered the affairs of the Ministry of Household Affairs.
So, stroking his short beard and facing Qin Ming, he smiled and said:
"My dear nephew, you are so good at arithmetic, you are very suitable to work in the Ministry of Finance. How about your uncle recommending you to join the Ministry of Finance? My uncle has a close relationship with Dai Zhou, the Minister of the Ministry of Finance, and I believe he can arrange a good job for you."
After everyone heard this, they all looked at Qin Ming.
Qin Ming rolled his eyes.
He thought to himself, you Li Er, you two just poached my family, and now you are planning on me.
What's so good about working for you? The workload is heavy, the wages are low, the risks are high, and it's easy to offend people.
If I were to enter the household department and check the accounts, I would offend as many people as I could, and I would not be able to go there even if I had many heads to worry about.
How comfortable is it to stay at home? Not only is Chang Xi with you every day, but you can also train your own team.
Qin Ming shook his head and said:
"My nephew, thank you for your uncle's attention. However, my nephew is really not qualified for this job. Besides, you know that my nephew doesn't want to be an official."
Li Shimin heard this and continued to confuse him:
"My dear nephew, you are too humble. With your arithmetic skills, if you check the accounts at the end of the year, you may be able to make great contributions. When the time comes, your Majesty will be happy, and maybe he will make you a high official."
Qin Ming said angrily:
"I don't know for sure. If I keep checking, my nephew's life will be lost."
Speaking of this, Qin Ming deliberately added to Li Er's worries:
"Uncle, I know you are doing it for my own good, but don't just look at the glory of being an official, there are great risks behind it.
It's not that my nephew is exaggerating. He knew there must be something wrong with the accounts in the household department without checking them. There are quite a few officials involved. If you really want to find out something, let's not talk about how your Majesty will deal with those corrupt officials.
I, the person who checks the accounts, will never survive. Hey, you don't understand officialdom. If you don't believe me, you can ask the county prince uncle if what I said is right. "
Li Er fell into deep thought after hearing this. He had just been thinking about checking the accounts.
And from his point of view, Qin Ming is the person he likes, so no one dares to harm him.
But after hearing Qin Ming's words, he didn't know how to refute it.
Yes, if a problem is discovered, Qin Ming, the accountant, will definitely bear the brunt.
However, he has made up his mind to check the accounts of the household department this month at the end of the year.
However, he now needs to find a way to rely on Qin Ming to check the accounts without letting Qin Ming stand in the open.
While Li Shimin was deep in thought, Princess Changle walked up to Qin Ming.
Amid everyone's suspicious gazes, she saluted Qin Ming and said:
"Brother Qin Ming, Li Zhi has a request. Would you like to ask brother Qin Ming to agree to it?"
Qin Ming was still a little confused at this time, not knowing what the little princess wanted to do with him.
But he didn't think too much. Looking at the graceful girl in front of him, he said softly:
"No need to ask for anything. If you have any questions, just ask me."
Princess Changle bit her lip and said softly:
"Li Zhi would like to ask brother Qin Ming to teach me arithmetic."
Princess Li Lizhi of Changle made this request.
First, she has been very filial since she was a child. Today, when she saw that her father, the Queen, and her mother were worried about the accounting, she was also very anxious. She thought that as a daughter, if she learned arithmetic from Qin Ming, she would definitely be able to take care of her father, the Queen, and her mother's worries.
Second, she liked Qin Ming very much, thinking that if her father decided to marry her to her cousin, she would be satisfied if she could spend more time with Qin Ming before getting engaged.
So, I took this opportunity to come up with this idea.
Qin Ming fell into deep thought after hearing this.
After all, he knew that in ancient times, one could not get too close to a woman who had not left the court.
What's more, the girl in front of her is still a princess.
He looked up at Princess Changle, hesitated and said:
"Sister Li Zhi, of course I'm willing to teach you, but I'm afraid it's not very convenient, right?"
After speaking, he also looked at Li Er and Queen Changsun.
The eldest grandson hesitated to speak.
When Li Shimin heard Li Lizhi's words, he had some ideas in his mind.
He could ask Qin Ming to help him train some accountants, and then let those accountants go to the Accounts Department, wouldn't the accounting problem be solved?
Princess Changle also saw Qin Ming's concerns.
She walked up to Li Er and Changsun, saluted and said:
"My daughter knows that this is somewhat illegal, but today, she saw her father and mother worrying about the accounting matter, and she felt very sad.
I thought that if my daughter could learn arithmetic, she could also contribute to the family, so I hoped that my father and mother would agree. "
