"Yes, I also found something wrong, so I went out to check it out, and this investigation really made me find the problem. It turned out that in addition to us, there were people who started calling for fundraising today."
"In addition to us, there are people who raise funds? This... we represent the court and the government. If we raise funds, there will naturally be people who donate money, and those people will also get benefits. The other party also raises funds, and it can also affect our fundraising. The other party's power and influence... Could it be that the other party is one of the four major academies?"
"Who else can be there besides them? But this time it is not one of the four major colleges, but the four major colleges call on merchants in the city to raise funds. They claimed that there was a flood in the Great Qi Dynasty and they also wanted to provide disaster relief, so they also started to use fundraising. And today, they received more money from fundraising than ours!"
Fang Shuwen mocked: "Their people said directly that this time the disaster came from heaven and the vast number of civilians were affected. This disaster relief was a good deed. Therefore, those donors must be good people. For these good people, especially the great good people who donated the most, their character must be excellent. So the four great colleges said that for those good people, the college will open the door and welcome their children to study in the college. Damn, this is simply selling student places!"
"Well, and it's an auction without a reserve price and no cap." Chang Sheng took over the topic and said, "The four major academies are transcendent. In order for their children to enter the four major academies and for the future family to be able to continue, those rich guys don't even try their best to donate money. The four major academies are really good at this."
"Hmph, they did more than that." Fang Shuwen sneered: "They said directly that people don't believe in our court. They said that there are too many officials in our court. There will definitely be many corrupt officials. They say that after donating money, most of the money will be put into the officials' pockets. They don't believe us, so they raise funds themselves. But the money they raise will only be used to provide disaster relief. All expenditures will be recorded on the record. They are all thinking about the victims."
"Well, if they really were like what they said, focusing on the victims and spending all their money on disaster relief, then there would be no problem with what they said, but obviously, they wouldn't do that."
Chang Sheng picked up a piece of diced meat and put it in his mouth. He chewed the diced meat with a savory taste, and then picked up another piece of diced meat and said, "Their four colleges never do production, but they have such a big stall. The treatment of students in them, not to mention anything else, is the meat their students eat every day, which is quite a lot of money. They don't rely on others all on this disaster relief. It would be strange if they don't get benefits from it. The natural disaster comes, and all smart people know that this is a good opportunity to accumulate money, and their four colleges will never miss it."
"Hmph, in order to make money, their four major academies slander the court. And judging from their current influence, they can completely compete with the court. In fact, what Taishi Fei said is nothing wrong. These four major academies are the biggest borers of my Great Qi Dynasty. If my Great Qi Dynasty wants to be strong, I must completely eradicate the four major academies. Unfortunately, these four major academies are too strong!"
Fang Shuwen said later, and then sighed, two once extremely powerful dynasties, the Great Qin Dynasty and the Great Jin Dynasty, were destroyed because of conflicts with the four major academies. With this lesson, the Great Qi Dynasty did not dare to provoke the four major academies casually, especially today, where internal and external troubles are considered to be.
With a helpless sigh, Fang Shuwen looked at the food on the table and felt tasteless: "Forget it, I won't eat anymore. Let's collect evidence of the third prince's greed."
After saying that, Fang Shuwen turned around and was about to leave.
Chang Sheng was stunned: "Wait, didn't we agree that when we arrived at the place, wait for the third prince's people to start embezzling, and then directly catch them and kill them? Why are you starting to collect their evidence now? It would be bad if you start to alert the snake."
"Of course I have to collect it now. When the third prince and his men make a mistake, I can directly take out the previous evidence, and punish them with multiple crimes and directly kill them!" Fang Shuwen said, turned around and left.
"Wait, if you want to collect evidence, this thing is useful." Chang Sheng called Fang Shuwen, raised his hand and threw out a bottle of pills and said, "This is the honest pill. You have seen me use it, but you have to remember that this thing is only useful for people below the innate realm."
In the residence of the Deputy Prime Minister's Mansion, Zhuge Zhan'an sat on the seat, picked up the tea lid, gently touched the tea cup twice, and looked at the middle-aged man opposite him with a serious face: "Father, this time, as the assistant of the Seventh Prince, you must pay attention to one problem as the assistant of the Seventh Prince to help the Seventh Prince go to disaster relief."
"Oh? What's the problem?" Zhuge Jun looked up at his son, without blinking. Although the person in front of him was his son, his son was a top-notch young hero in the world. There was nothing to be ashamed to listen to his son's advice.
Zhuge Zhan put the teacup on the square table in front of him with an elegant expression and said solemnly: "It's a problem of greed for ink. Father, do you know why Chang Qianze is so trusted by the emperor? One reason is that his political views are consistent with the emperor's political views, and the other thing is that he never embezzles! So the emperor trusts him! Father, you must remember that if you want to remove the sub-words on your head, then you must not do greed for ink in this journey!"
Three days passed quickly.
Early on the third morning, in front of the Grand Canal of Outer Beijing, cargo ships filled with various materials gathered on the canal.
Chang Sheng and Guo Fengfang Shuwen took the old devil and a group of officials of all sizes to the shore to provide disaster relief. The materials and money transported were too much, so they could not use land, so they could only go through the canal.
"It's strange why there are so many ships here. Even if we are providing disaster relief, there will be so many ships." Fang Shuwen looked at the numerous ships and felt a little surprised.
Slowly, the group got closer and closer to the canal, and gradually, a large number of dark figures came into view.
"Xiao Shuzi, there are quite a lot of people here. So many ordinary people gather here. I think they are here to see us off. I really didn't expect that the court of our Great Qi Dynasty had such influence in the minds of the people. It's really good, good."
Chang Sheng saw clearly at a glance that the large group of people gathered on the shore were all ordinary people, and he could not help but pass the secret words to Fang Shu.
"Xiao Shuzi, you are the general manager of the disaster relief this time. Please consider it quickly. When you meet these people who are full of expectations for our court, what should you say."
Chang Sheng was joking with Fang Shuwen and secretly uttered each other while walking towards the canal bank.
Slowly, the few people finally walked to the people waiting on the shore. Fang Shuwen organized the language and just raised half of his arms when he suddenly found something wrong.
The group of people in front of them watched as they approached, but most of them did not react at all.
This is wrong. These people are not here to see them off for them.
Fang Shuwen immediately realized that these people were not here to see them off, so were they here?
Fang Shuwen was puzzled, and suddenly, a commotion broke out in the crowd in front of him.
"Here. Come, they are."
Chang Sheng was surprised to find that the crowd in front of him exclaimed, and then shouted and ran towards behind him.
Chang Sheng turned his head strangely and looked behind him, and suddenly, white figures came into his eyes.
Zhu Junxuan?
Chang Sheng sensitively discovered that a young Confucian scholar walking in front of the crowd happened to meet him. When he first came to the capital, he handed a post to the Little Suit Stick, and Zhu Junxuan, a young man who wanted to dig the Little Suit Stick.
Zhu Junxuan is from the four major academies, and in front of him, all of these people are Confucian scholars. So it is obvious that these people are from the four major academies.
As soon as Chang Sheng thought came out, the sound of gongs and drums came from behind him near the shore, followed by a series of firecrackers being lit, making crisp sounds.
Groups of people ran to the four major colleges and started talking. Although they were far away, they could still hear them. What they said was nothing more than hoping that the four major colleges could provide disaster relief and help them, the poor.
"Hmph, the people from the four major colleges actually chose to set out for disaster relief today, and it seems that their itinerary is the same as ours. Obviously, they are going to leave us."
Fang Shuwen looked coldly at the people from the four major academys surrounded by groups of people behind him, and his face looked very ugly. He also went to provide disaster relief, but his side represented the people from the court, but only looked at the popularity of both sides.
There are only a few people here, but there are so many people watching from one of the four major academies.
The gap is a bit too big! When the news spread today, where is the face of the court?
"It's not just that simple." Guo Feng glanced back and forth between the crowd and said softly: "Obviously, the people from the four major academies have already planned. If it were normal, even if the people from the four major academies have prestige among the people, it would not have been so great. Some beat gongs and gongs, and some set off firecrackers, so many people can still run to their side. Obviously they have been ready to go."
When Guo Feng said this, he shook his head helplessly and said, "Ordinary people follow the crowd. The four major colleges only need to find some helpers. When everyone is waiting, they say good things about the four major colleges. Besides, the bad things of our court are not good, and then respond a few more times. When the people from the four major colleges appear, these people immediately rushed up. The ordinary people follow the crowd. Seeing that others have gone, they will naturally follow them, which has caused this situation."
