After the young man was removed from the academy, Xia Yuanlong started the rectification measures in full swing.

In order to speed up the progress of the reform a little, he had to first appease the people and stabilize the mood within the college. He immediately instituted a system of making money, which roughly stipulated, 'All those who are lowly and unofficial can receive a small amount of silver every month,' and told people to go to the account office to record their names and receive money. Many scholars here are idlers, and when they heard that there was such a benefit, they hurriedly went to report their names and sent out a few ingots of broken silver.

These scholars took the silver, that is, entangled a few idlers, spent all day and wine, and spent it all in one afternoon. When I come to the hospital tomorrow, I plan to take my colleagues to the water pavilion to see the scenery.

"It's impossible to go now." One shook his head.

"How?"

"You don't know?" Another clearly said, "Xia Vice-Alliance is going to demolish the pavilion!" ”

Several people looked at each other and sighed: "Then before he can do it, let's get away for a while." ”

"It's easy for you to think...... The tiles have been picked up, and two or three handymen are guarding them. ”

"How can this be done! Let's talk to Governor Song about the explanation. ”

"Governor Song caused that colleague to be kicked out that day, and he followed Xia Yuanlong's hair all day long, why bother looking for him!" The man slammed the bowl and retorted angrily.

"Mr. Yao seems to have been disobeying him and begging him to go, what is it?"

One person stomped his feet and said, "Okay, Mr. Yao has backbone!" Let's not believe that Xia Vice Alliance can turn his face with him! ”

At this point, I saw Yao Xiaogu coming from the door. A group of people hurried up and saluted with a smile.

Yao Xiaogu took off his felt hat, pinched it in his hand, and frowned: "Colleagues, please have something to say." ”

"Mr. Yao, that Xia Yuan...... Dean Xia wanted to demolish the water pavilion, but he obviously didn't want us to be comfortable. It's a trivial matter, but if he gets an inch, we can't stand it. ”

Although Yao Xiaogu was quite suspicious of Xia Yuanlong, he also wanted to do his best for the academy, for fear of causing trouble. He hesitated for two or three steps, looking at them: "Dean Xia is indeed inappropriate in this matter. As a member of the academy, I should help you fight for your breath. It's not to be angry, it's to be 'angry', and then respect the dean, don't be too offended. ”

"Everybody's saved! You just have to take the juniors with you. The man said and made a 'please' gesture.

Yao Xiaogumo held the top of his hat and walked over hesitantly.

"You guys come in," Yao Xiaogu leaned on the door panel and looked at the crowd, "It's not good for me to take the lead in this kind of thing." Just say, 'Mr. Yao brought us here to ask,' and if the situation changes, I will come." ”

The group was not ready to say much in front of him, so they all nodded and broke into the house.

Xia Yuanlong was sitting at the table and writing, when he heard the sound of footsteps hurrying, the pen paused slightly, and the ink was spent.

"What's the matter?" Xia Yuanlong put the paper aside.

The scholar at the head saluted in a coping manner, and then said, "Dean Xia, how did the water pavilion be demolished?" It's not a nuisance to the eyes, and it's nice to keep it......"

"The academy is a place for my colleagues to discuss matters, and it is not suitable for sightseeing." Xia Yuanlong grimaced.

The man laughed angrily: "What kind of study building does it matter all day!" ”

Xia Yuanlong put his pen down: "Say, who asked you to come?" ”

These people did not panic: "Mr. Yao asked us to ask for an explanation, and I hope the dean will see it." ”

Xia Yuanlong didn't believe it at first, but a cough quietly came from outside the door, which made him a little nervous.

"It's a matter of the big picture, and no one can be casual." He was still stubborn.

The men shook their heads excitedly and even slapped their heads on the table.

Xia Yuanlong raised his head suddenly, his eyes were like clusters of flames, staring at him very tightly. A push on his arm: "Take it away." ”

The man lowered his head in panic and slowly removed his hand.

"Okay," Dean Xia said coldly, "you go back and wait for me to think about it." ”

It seemed that they had won, but no one was happy, they cowered and retreated, and heard Xia Yuanlong say something like this from behind the screen: "I won't need people like them......"

Xia Yuanlong called the person in charge of the accounting room to come over.

This benevolent brother is wearing a green cloth shirt, black trousers, and dark blue boots, called Wang Zhengui, the word Jin Gui, who was born in a person and is in charge of the Suzhou salt class. It was born with a broad face, long eyebrows and a high nose, and a fat body, only deep eyes. He is methodical and very peaceful, even if someone scolds him and spits in front of him, I am afraid that he will not react.

During the siege of the college, he was also one of those people, but he never volunteered to the dean, so he was not conspicuous in the crowd. Xia Yuanlong knew him after this, when there was a shortage of people in the account room, and when he checked the roster, he saw that there was a salt manager, so he urgently transferred it to use it. But it was precisely because of this move that he stumbled upon a talent, and he only used a pair of abacus to organize the account books in an orderly manner, which made Xia Yuanlong envious. Then he paid all the money clearly, and no one complained that he had been poorly paid. The dean glanced at him higher.

Xia Yuanlong rarely had a smile on his face, but when he saw Wang Zhengui coming in at an arrow, he smiled unconsciously.

"Jin Gyu, are you here so soon?"

"Entrusted by the dean, I dare not slack off." His voice was strong and serious.

Xia Yuanlong sighed: "If the entire academy is as good as you......

"How many people do you want to check?" But he didn't say a word, and went straight to the point.

"I don't know the name of the person who took the lead in making trouble," Xia Yuanlong patted him on the shoulder, "so I beg you." ”

"What does it look like?"

"Square face, with a little pockmarked on his face."

Wang Zhengui said calmly: "It's surnamed Du." Since I have received the money, I can simply check the booklet that was issued yesterday. ”

"You might as well ask Mr. Yao, he was standing outside just now."

"Yes." Wang Zhengui turned around and left, stepping out of the threshold, Yao Xiaogu was still stunned next to him.

Wang Zhengui was not afraid to disturb him, so he came up and asked, "Have you seen those troublesome scholars?" ”

"Wang Yanjiao, I'm sorry, I really didn't pay attention." Yao Xiao Ancient Road.

"You don't have to call it a salt class, I'm the bookkeeper here." He said calmly.

"Yes, then Brother Wang Xian, what do you think?"

"I'm asking you, please don't interrupt Mr. Yao." Wang Zhengui's seemingly ordinary tone seemed to have a thorn in it.

Yao Xiaogu was taken aback after hearing this. He had never seen a Suzhou person talk to him like this, and he was used to being respected, but he was not very comfortable now.

He blushed: "Wang's bookkeeper, I didn't pay attention, I said it before." ”

"I have ears." Wang Zhengui said, "What you said is not right. Because you're the one who brought them in, aren't you? Please tell us the truth. ”

Mr. Yao's head buzzed, and he almost lost his breath - such a petty official was about to use his own authority.
