Chapter 447 Help me settle accounts

"See Your Majesty." Lin Xuan bowed and saluted.

Just after returning home, he was called over again. Lin Xuan's resentment was very deep, but he could not show it.

Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "I heard that the King of Han gave you two women?"

"Your Majesty, I declined at that time, but the King of Han insisted on sending me away, so I really had no choice." Lin Xuan said quickly.

That bastard Li Tai must have come to complain.

Lin Xuan scolded Li Tai in his heart.

"The King of Han not only gave it to you, but also gave Gao Ming a male favorite." Li Shimin said.

Male favorite?

Lin Xuan quickly asked: "Your Majesty, is that male favorite called Ruan Xin?"

How could Li Shimin remember the name of a male favorite? He looked at Li Mu.

Li Mu nodded and said, "It's called contentment."

Li Shimin looked at Lin Xuan in surprise and said, "Do you know this person called Satisfied?"

Lin Xuan was stunned. Of course he knew that in history, Li Chengqian favored Cheng Xin, and Li Shimin Long Yan was furious and ordered Cheng Xin to be executed. Li Chengqian was in pain and wished to live.

Li Chengqian also erected a monument for the Zhongxin Tree Tomb in the East Palace, where people would pay homage day and night and give him official positions. He would often cry to death after seeing this monument.

Some people in later generations commented that Li Chengqian decided to rebel when Li Shimin killed Cheng Xin.

He naturally knows what he wants.

But you can't explain it to Li Shimin like this.

Lin Xuan's mind turned and he said: "Your Majesty, I once heard that the King of Han had a male favorite who was more beautiful than many women. His name was Ruxin."

Li Shimin took a deep look at Lin Xuan and said, "I called you here because I want to tell you that the King of Han has objections. You should pay more attention to the two women who gave you a gift, so as not to be taken advantage of."

Lin Xuan smiled bitterly, he knew that Li Yuanchang had objections, after all, it did happen in history.

But he knew that telling him and Li Shimin were two different things.

Li Shimin told him that if this matter was leaked in advance, Lin Xuan would also be suspected.

He really didn't want to get involved in something like this.

"Your Majesty, I understand. Where is the prince?" Lin Xuan asked.

Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "You don't have to worry about the prince."

Lin Xuan felt cold, Li Shimin was so cruel.

They clearly knew that Li Yuanchang gave Li Chengqian a gift to seduce Li Chengqian.

Not only did Li Shimin ignore it, but it seemed that he was also preparing to train Li Chengqian with his heart.

However, Li Chengqian was young and lacked qualitative knowledge. How could he resist those sugar-coated bullets?

In history, it was also said that Li Chengqian hid his beauty in a golden house. In the end, Li Shimin was furious when he found out and executed Cheng Xin.

Now it seems that Li Shimin deliberately pretended not to know. Later, when he saw that Li Chengqian was completely trapped, he had to intervene.

Think about it, although the East Palace is independent, it is right next to the imperial palace. If Li Shimin wants to know anything, he can't hide it at all.

Only if he doesn't want to know, can he hide it from him.



Shen Yue'e put the things she bought on the wall of a cloth shop and said to Goudan: "You watch here, my mother will buy some other things. She will come back in a while, pull some cloth here, and then go back."

"

Because they help Lin Xuan grow potatoes and Gou Dan is studying in college, they only need to pay 10% of the rent this year.

Therefore, conditions are much better this year, so Shen Yue'e brought Goudan to Chang'an to prepare some new year's goods.

"Mom, go ahead, I will watch carefully." Goudan said.

After Shen Yuee'e left, Goudan looked around while looking at things.

Although his home is not far from Chang'an, this is his first time to Chang'an.

The prosperity of Chang'an overwhelmed him.

"Hey." Goudan saw a piece of paper taped to the wall behind him with some words written on it.

Out of curiosity, Goudan leaned over and took a closer look.

"It turns out we are recruiting a bookkeeper." Goudan muttered.

Although he has only been studying for a few months, he can already recognize a lot of words because he has Pinyin and a dictionary.

"Are you literate?" Suddenly a voice said.

Goudan was startled and turned around to see a fat middle-aged man looking at him.

The middle-aged man named Ma Li, the owner of this Ma's cloth shop, was just about to leave when he heard Goudan's words and asked curiously.

"I studied at Boyuan Academy and I can read naturally." Goudan said with some pride.

"Boyuan Academy? Never heard of it." Ma Li shook his head and said.

Boyuan Academy has been newly built for less than a year, and the students enrolled are all from nearby villages. It is not surprising that Ma Li has not heard of it.

"Boyuan Academy is located in Zhouzhuang outside Chang'an City. How come you haven't heard of it?" Goudan said angrily.

Boyuan Academy taught him how to read, and the academy was built by Lin Xuan. Goudan was very grateful to Lin Xuan, but Ma Li said he had never heard of it, which made Goudan feel slighted and very unhappy.

Ma Li was too angry to get angry with Goudan, a child who looked to be eight or nine years old. He smiled and said, "You are so old and you don't know a few words. Can you understand this notice?"

Goudan said disdainfully: "Isn't he just Mr. Accountant, with a monthly salary of two dollars?"

Ma Li had never read a book, and he naturally had a hint of respect for literate people, and said: "I didn't expect that he is still a primary school teacher. Is there any teacher in your college who can do arithmetic?"

Although he has never read a book, he has been in business for many years and can still understand the account books.

But he was not very sophisticated. It was almost the Chinese New Year. When he took stock of his accounts, he always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't figure out the clue.

Therefore, I want to recruit a bookkeeper to help him do the calculations and see if the shopkeeper is collaborating with the previous bookkeeper to deceive others.

But the accountant is so easy to find. Seeing that Goudan is young and knows so many words, I feel that Boyuan Academy is pretty good and there should be a master who can settle accounts.

"Of course, the one who teaches us arithmetic is Dr. Li from the Imperial College." Goudan said proudly.

"Could it be Dr. Li Chunfeng Li from the Imperial College?" Ma Li asked in surprise.

"Exactly!" Goudan was even more happy when he saw that his horse power had been controlled.

Ma Li was a little discouraged. If someone else could spend some money to help him look at the account books, there was no way he could ask Li Chunfeng to do so.

"I wonder what I call this young gentleman?" Ma Li asked.

"My name is Zhou Zhi." Goudan said.

Zhou Zhi was the name he gave himself after he learned to read.

"Brother Zhou, I wonder if I could trouble you to help me settle the account?" Ma Li asked.

He didn't think he could hire Li Chunfeng, but Godan was taught by Li Chunfeng, so he could always learn something, right?

No matter how much you learn, you are still better than him.

Goudan quickly shook his head and said: "Although I can do arithmetic, I have little talent and knowledge. How can I help you settle accounts?"

"I have an account book here. If little brother Zhou can help me figure out where there is a problem, I can give you some money." Ma Li said.

In fact, he didn't have much hope for Goudan. He just couldn't find the accountant, so he thought of giving it a try.

Anyway, he said that Goudan helped him find the problem, and if he couldn't find it, he wouldn't give him any money.

Goudan was stunned when he heard that Ma Li said he would give him money if he could find out the problem.

Lin Xuan has set up a reward and punishment mechanism, but with so many people in the academy, he has only received one reward so far, and received two amounts of money.

This is also the reason why Shen Yue'e couldn't make some clothes when she was about to go back.

In the past, Shen Yue'e would not buy fabrics to make clothes for Goudan and Erya. Instead, she would remodel the clothes that he and Zhou Aniu wore to pieces for them to wear.

Goudan still remembers the smile on his mother's face when she knew he had won the reward.
