As soon as they heard that the newly opened Agricultural and Commercial Institute needed to be funded, the ministers turned their heads and did not look at the master, and even His Majesty the Emperor, who had just been full of excitement, slowly turned around and walked towards the dragon chair casually.

The master did not laugh angrily when he saw this scene, and said: "Since Your Majesty and the adults have no objections, then the old minister should be agreed by the adults, and after retiring from the court, the old minister will let the disciples of the Fengjiang Academy go to your mansion to raise funds, and please don't be stingy at that time." The master seemed to think of something again, and continued: "In order to prevent the bunnies in the Sealing Courtyard from embezzling it privately, I will ask them to write down in the register how many silver taels you have given, and please sign your own name, everything is public!" ”

Emperor Zhu Chengyuan looked at the master's serious appearance and wanted to laugh but held back his dare not laugh, hating that the master would suddenly notice him.

Lai Si didn't care, stood up from the civil official queue, took out a hundred taels of silver tickets and handed it to the master, and said proudly: "This is a great thing for the country and the people, and I, Lai Si, am the first to support it." ”

The master smiled and took the silver ticket from Lai Si's hand and held it up in the air and trembled and trembled, as if he was afraid that others would not know that it was a hundred taels, he turned his head to look at Li Xian, the first assistant of the cabinet who was standing still, and said: "Lord Li, if you both give an example to everyone, Lai Si gave a hundred, and I will let my disciples come to pick up the remaining one hundred taels, and I can't let Lord Lai send it to my erudition school by himself, and Lord Li can't be inferior to this kid Lai Si." ”

It wasn't Li who came first, but Laisi, who hadn't walked back to the queue yet, originally thought that sooner or later it would be better to get a good reputation, but this is good, this old master's face is not thinner than his!

Li Xianlai looked at Master Weng embarrassedly and said with a smile: "Master, don't make fun of me, two hundred taels of silver is not a small amount, you allow me to go home and ask my lady for instructions." "I all know that the dignified Dahua Cabinet First Auxiliary Li Xianlai Li is a well-known wife who is strict with his wife, except for doing things for His Majesty, everything else must be consulted by his wife before he can be agreed to others.

The master smiled and said, "Yes, yes, I will ask the disciples of the Fengjiang Academy to go to your house later." ”

At this time, Lai Si opened his mouth and said, "Master, my one hundred taels is already all my belongings, so don't let your disciple go to my house to ask for it again." ”

As soon as Lai Si's words fell, Yushitai Yushi Dafu Xiuwen stood up, bowed to His Majesty the Emperor and the master, and said, "Master, Lord Lai, this hundred taels I borrowed from him before, and I just returned it to him before going to court." ”

The master looked at Lai Si with great interest and said, "Lai Si, you can directly give a hundred taels of silver if you borrow it, your family is really rich enough, so let's donate another two hundred taels of silver." ”

Lai Si applied with embarrassment, thinking that this Xiuwen was really a small belly, obviously avenging the revenge that had just been elected by her daughter to receive the envoys of other countries. The emperor watched all this silently, and when he and his master met eye contact, he knew that something was wrong, and then turned to look at Qiu Sihai, the official of the Great Internal Authority, and said, "Qiu Sihai, retreat from the dynasty." ”

Qiu Sihai, the official of the Great Interior, has been following the emperor for 20 years, how can he not know the thoughts of His Majesty the Emperor, and immediately shouted: "If there is something to play, there is nothing to retreat from the court!" ”

The master leaned over and said, "The old minister has something to do. ”

When everyone looked at the Master's serious appearance, they thought that the Master was going to say something important, so they all quieted down and waited for the Master's words.

"Your Majesty, since everyone in the Agricultural and Commercial Institute has no opinion, the old minister has an idea that I don't know whether to talk about it or not." The Master said.

"Sir, please." His Majesty the Emperor immediately said.

"Although His Majesty will also donate money, the minister still wants to ask His Majesty for another word." The Master said.

The emperor turned his head to look at Qiu Sihai and said, "Qiu Sihai, go get a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone." ”

With a stick of incense, the three big characters of "Agricultural and Commercial Institute" were put into the sleeve of the smiling master, and at the same time, there were 1,000 taels of silver tickets in the bag!
