After Li Shui said this, he left with a smile.

At first, everyone around him looked confused, not knowing what Li Shui was talking about.

But as time passed, a strange smile appeared on Li Xin's face.

He understood.

Gradually, Zhou Qingchen also showed a strange smile, and he understood it.

Then, this smile seems to be contagious.

One infected two, two infected four, and more and more spread, and more and more, and finally everyone showed a strange smile to Mr. Qi.

Even Chun Yuyue, an old-fashioned person, has a faint smile on his face.

"What are they laughing at? Are they sick?" Mr. Qi muttered in his heart.

At this time, a young eunuch came out and shouted: "All officials have entered the palace."

So, everyone filed in.

When Mr. Qi walked into the main hall, he suddenly came back to his senses: The hunter next to him shot an arrow for him? This clearly means that the child is not my son's father.

They were really laughing at me.

Mr. Qi suddenly became furious.

However, he did not dare to express his anger. There was no other reason. The child in the pregnant woman's belly was indeed not his son.

Lord Qi took a deep breath and thought: Just bear with it a little longer, bear with it a little longer, I hope they won't pay attention to these things in a few days.

In the government hall, hundreds of officials were sitting at attention.

Things that could be discussed in one hour in the past often take two hours now.

Because since the banished immortal arrived, the world suddenly became very complicated.

In the past, as long as taxes were collected and soldiers were levied, it was basically no big deal.

But things are different now. Now there are many strange and varied things.

What business order, what emerging industries, what coal, what steel.

These courtiers all have big heads and are very annoying.

At first, they were very reluctant to let them go to night school, but now, they have become very active, because only after attending night school can they understand everything that happens in the court.

Otherwise, those people who have just passed the imperial examination will talk eloquently and everything they say is true, and His Majesty will nod his head repeatedly when he hears it.

And they just stood there all day with a blank look on their faces.

This is very embarrassing, and this is also very uneasy. Maybe one day His Majesty will not like them and replace them.

So these courtiers had to be prepared for danger in times of peace and often went to Shangjun's other courtyard to study.

And the most hateful thing is that this guy, Exiled Immortal, actually raised the tuition fees significantly.

This made the already poor family even worse. Many courtiers were a little reluctant to part with it.

In fact, if they bite the bullet, they can come up with money. After all, these courtiers are not too poor.

But the key point is that if you really spend those tuition fees, you can't wear the best silk clothes, you can't let eight maids wait on you to sleep, you can't...

In short, there are too many things that cannot be done.

The courtiers were a little reluctant to part with him.

Later, Shangjun Villa launched student loans.

The slogan of student loans is very tempting: don’t spend a penny and learn knowledge as good as gold.

This attracted a lot of people, so many courtiers rushed over to join in the fun.

According to the introduction of the craftsmen of Shangjun Villa, you will definitely get a student loan. There are so many benefits. You can study for free, eat for free, and even play for free at Shangjun Villa.

Of course, student loans have to be repaid. But there is not much pressure to repay the money. It can be deducted from the salary every month, and the deduction is not too much.

Many courtiers settled the accounts and felt that this seemed acceptable.

But then, Shangjun Courtyard also mentioned the application conditions. Only courtiers who are extremely poor and have a clean mind can apply for student loans.

As a result, the vast majority of courtiers are ineligible.

Everyone was very angry and thought that the banished immortal was deliberately playing tricks on others.

But soon, Shangjun Courtyard made new moves.

Shangjun Courtyard thinks that when tuition fees are already so high, there are still people who can afford to go to school. What does this mean?

This shows that those people are not honest enough, so they have enough money to go to school.

The courtiers were at a loss for a while.

Isn't this... nonsense? You, a Shangjun Courtyard, want to investigate corruption?

Soon, Jiangjun tabloid and Xianyang Daily began to publish courtiers who successfully applied for student loans.

Those who successfully apply are certified and indeed poor.

The courtiers began to scratch their heads, thinking about how to prove that they were also poor.

In fact, they don't have to deal with banished immortals and just live their own lives.

But I can't help but think that their money really didn't come from the right way, and it can't withstand any investigation. As long as one investigation is carried out, the secret will definitely be exposed, and by then...everything will be lost.

However, the opportunity has come.

Li Shui launched another donation project to encourage everyone to donate to help the extremely poor people.

Some courtiers had more lively ideas and donated a lot of money with the mentality of giving it a try.

From being rich to being well-off, from being well-off to having enough food and clothing.

Then, they successfully applied for student loans.

Then, they can legitimately prove that they are upright officials, upright officials with clean sleeves.

As a result, courtiers followed suit and donated money.

During this process, they all sighed: You said it was all right, why bother?

Of course, there are also people who refuse to apply for student loans, such as Chun Yuyue.

Mr. Chunyu just stood firm and said, "I'll give it to you as much as you want."

All the officials were envious, but no one dared to say anything.

Who can be as domineering as Chun Yuyue?

After all, Chun Yuyue's money was all earned, while their money was all obtained through corruption.

Forget it, as long as you are an official in the court, you will make money one day, so just be patient.

The courtiers could only comfort themselves in this way.

Although banishing an immortal is cruel, it doesn't matter. After all, the salary given by the court is a lot.

What's more, when you are an official in the court, you are the first to know the government's decrees. After knowing these decrees, you can do everything to your advantage when doing business.

Which of these current courtiers is not involved in some business?

Since merchants ruled the country, you would be embarrassed to go out and say hello to people unless you do some business.

Maybe in the future, by saving like this, I can restore my family fortune.

At least the money is clean and I can sleep peacefully in the future.

The only thing that made me feel unhappy was that the people were overwhelmingly grateful to the imperial court and the banished immortal.

After all, under the arrangement of the imperial court, Shangjun Courtyard has distributed the donations to those extremely poor people.

Therefore, the common people were all grateful, but not many people mentioned the courtiers who donated money.

It is said that this donation is not money given directly.

Some are building roads, some are building canals, and some are building trains.

In short, good days are coming for the people.

Good times have indeed come for the common people, but the officials do not feel happy because their lives are difficult.

In the past, I just chatted in the court, and then went home to drink and listen to music. My life was very comfortable and peaceful. I lived my life happily, normally, and smoothly.

But now...

There are too many things to do now. When you are in court, you have to worry about economic issues. When you get home, you still have to think about whether there are any problems with your government orders.

Because the economy is too complex, often a wrong policy will affect the whole world and cause big chaos.

All the officials sighed secretly in their hearts while participating in the discussion in the court hall, each expressing his or her own opinion.

Damn it, the banished immortal actually suggested that your majesty send a small eunuch to record everyone's speeches in the court.

Whoever's speech is the most useful and has the most effect in reality will be given extra points. If someone always talks nonsense and speaks incorrectly, points will be deducted. When selecting people for promotion in the future
