Chapter 127: Change
"Boy, don't think you won this time, we still have a long life, we'll see."
"You kid is really a good dog by His Majesty's side, which can be regarded as a good opportunity for His Majesty to rectify the rule of officials, but you are not so easy to succeed."
"Boy, you're playing with fire, don't burn yourself then, it won't look good."
After the hundred officials waited for the emperor to leave, they immediately buzzed up and sprayed Li Baiyi angrily, if it wasn't for the naΓ―ve drawing of the sword in front of him, I was afraid that the hundred officials might really tear Li Baiyi.
"Hmph, Huangkou Xiaoer, we'll see."
"The old man doesn't believe that your kid can continue to be so rampant."
After the hundred officials vented, they started to leave, and Li Baiyi breathed a sigh of relief.
These moths, one by one, seem to be very reasonable, this world, is really black and white.
Only then did the naΓ―ve put away his sword and turned his head to look at Li Baiyi: "You haven't started to clean up the corrupt officials yet, and people have already started to target you, you should be careful." β
The prince not far away also walked over: "Big brother, you have to take it easy, you have indeed made great contributions this time, but there are many people who have offended because of this." β
"I think you have to keep a low profile for the next period of time, otherwise, there will definitely be a lot of 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, I will keep a low profile." β
said that he was low-key, but he had an expression of indifference, and what these guys did was not taken seriously by Li Baiyi.
As long as the signboard of his father and the emperor does not fall, no matter how fierce others are, they will be in vain!
"Big brother, so many people are still here, shouldn't they be dispersed?"
The prince glanced downstairs at the city gate and said.
Li Baiyi came back to his senses, hurriedly stretched out his head, looked at the people in the dark, stuck out his tongue, and almost forgot about them.
When the people heard that the emperor was coming, they were so frightened that they didn't dare to say anything, and they didn't know what was going on above.
"Little grandfather, is Your Majesty gone?"
"Li County Order, do you still have the job of driving the carriage you said, can you look at me?"
"I'll take one hundred taels, where will the little grandfather get the silver."
"Little grandfather, I'll book a month's carriage first, my family needs money."
Li Baiyi was so noisy that his head hurt, and he hurriedly waved his hand at everyone: "Okay, okay, everyone be quiet." β
After the people were completely quiet, Li Baiyi said: "Don't worry, everyone, this time the carriage must be true." β
"It's not just that the work I arranged is real, even the work arranged by the imperial court is true."
As soon as they heard this, the people couldn't help but turn their heads and ears, not knowing why Li Baiyi wanted to give the court a platform this time.
"The little grandfather said this, does that mean that any cabinet official can give us money for the work of driving the carriage."
A common man couldn't help but ask: "Little grandfather, if the work given by the cabinet officials can also be paid, if I drive the carriage to the north city gate, can you really give me two thousand five hundred taels?" β
"Yes, yes, little grandfather, do you really have so much silver?"
The people scrambled to ask.
Li Baiyi couldn't help but have a black line on his face, and said in a gentle tone as much as possible: "Don't worry, the imperial court will definitely give money, but it's not that much, it's the same as mine, it's one hundred taels." β
"The reason why the imperial court held such an event this time is to prove to everyone that the words of the imperial court in Dakun are counted and worthy of the trust of the people."
Hearing Li Baiyi's assurance, the people present had initial trust in this activity of the imperial court, and Li Baiyi continued: "This activity lasted for a whole month, and my share was also paid by the imperial court to express my sincerity to everyone. β
"In order to ensure that more people can benefit, every citizen who gets the opportunity to drive the carriage will be recorded, and each person will only have one chance."
"All the people who want to participate in the carriage must make a record with the officials appointed by the imperial court one day in advance, and they must be ordinary people, they cannot have official status, nor can they be rich households, let alone scholars, even if they have passed the township test, they cannot participate in it."
"If the number of participants is too large, the imperial court will select a number of people from among them, up to twenty people, and carry a carriage to go."
Hearing this, the people couldn't help but be dumbfounded: "Didn't you say that you want to drive a carriage, how can it become a carriage now?" β
"If you carry a carriage, it's a little harder, but it doesn't matter, there is a lot of strength in numbers."
"But there are more people involved, how will the silver be divided at that time, or a hundred taels per person?"
"It's unlikely, one hundred taels per person, then the imperial court will have to take out at least one thousand taels of silver every day, it's too much."
Li Baiyi heard the discussion of the people, and immediately said with a smile: "Don't worry, the money, the total amount remains the same, and the reward is one hundred taels per day, so there is a limit to the number of participants, a maximum of twenty people can participate, and it is guaranteed that at least five taels of silver can be obtained per person." β
"Five taels is not bad, I can catch up with two months of hard work."
"Carry the carriage, then carry it, twenty people carry it together, it's not easy."
"But how to choose who is qualified to carry the carriage, and say that only ordinary people are allowed to participate, if those ruffians and hooligans also want to participate, can we still stop it."
"That's right, even if the court really sends money, what if we secretly take it back when the time comes, we can't stop it at all, don't you say?"
Li Baiyi heard the discussion of the people, and immediately said to the people with a smile: "Don't worry, I can assure you that what you are worried about will not happen, and I, the imperial court, will ensure that the money will be distributed smoothly to every person who participates in the activities." β
"This event was ordered by His Majesty in order to make the people trust the court and support the court's next activities."
"Your Majesty will guarantee that there will be no major mistakes in this event, and if anyone dares to do anything in it, they will inevitably be hit, and this official hereby warns those who have bad intentions to do it themselves, and not to be unpredictable."
"Your Majesty and the crown prince will pay attention to this event and ensure the interests of the people, so you can rest assured."
"Okay, it's not too early, let's disperse first, today the imperial court will send someone to organize the registration of names, everyone pay more attention."
"Thank you little grandpa for reminding me."
"Thank you Li County."
After the people thanked each other, they dispersed.
Looking at this bustling crowd, Li Baiyi couldn't help laughing, these people are really easy to fool, and they sent them away with a few taels of silver.
