Datang: The prince of salted fish was overheard by Li Er

Chapter 249 It's not Taoism, it's science

Soon among the students, a burly young man asked, "So, the new study is to teach Taoism?"

"My father said that his three swords were taught by the immortal in his dream."

"Excuse me, King Chu, are there really gods in this world?"

The person who asked the question was Cheng Chumo, one of Cheng Yaojin's sons.

Li You suddenly laughed at this question.

He smiled and said, "Cheng Chumo, how can you say that you have gone to Taoism?"

"This is called science."

"And the teaching of science will be the main content of the new learning!"

As soon as these words came out, the eyes of those who were indifferent to the new learning before also brightened.

Just as Li You was about to step down, he saw a lot of people coming to the school gate, pushing and shoving, making a mess.

Seeing this situation, Kong Yingda in the audience was furious: "How can you make such a loud noise in front of the saint's gate!"

"Come here and drive away all the people outside, and arrest all those who don't leave!"

Kong Yingda was preparing the school guards to drive them away, but Li You smiled and said, "Kong Jijiu, today's matter is obviously aimed at the new students."

"Since he dares to come, let's see what he is doing!"

Soon, the guards brought over the noisy people at the door.

These people seemed to have expected that there would be so many people in the school, and they didn't feel stage fright at all when they came in.

Moreover, from their eyes, Li You found that these people seemed to be still communicating with the people in the stands.

Not only in the stands, but even the few students who looked like they were watching the show just now became excited.

【Hmph, your acting skills are too bad. 】

[I already knew that your aristocratic families would come to make trouble, but I also want to hire better actors! 】

After this group of people came over, they were clearly divided into two groups.

There are more people in one group, and they all look like they will not give up until they reach their goals, while the other group has only one person, Liu Ji, the chief historian of Chu Palace.

"Liu Ji, what's going on?"

Li You asked Liu Ji.

When Li You saw Liu Ji, there was nothing but amused in his heart.

Liu Ji brought these people here, and he definitely won't make him suffer. Next, let's see him make a fool of himself and make these people make a fool of himself.

Liu Ji bowed slightly and said, "These people claim to be businessmen going to the Turkic Grassland, and they came to the household department to exchange money with the IOUs of Wang Xuance's caravan!"

With just one sentence, Li You understood everything.

He chuckled, and then said, "Whoever takes the lead, come out and speak."

Immediately a man with a horse face stepped out of the group opposite, and he spoke with a loud voice.

"Little man Ma Liu, I have met the King of Chu."

"I brought all the people here. We made some money by tying our heads to our trouser belts in the grassland. When we left, that boy Wang Xuance asked to borrow some money, and said that the King of Chu would help him pay back the money."

"Just now we went to the Ministry of Households to exchange, but the long history told us to wait. We just want to ask if the Chu Palace still has credit!"

Ma Liu's voice was very loud, as if the people present could not hear him.

Li You quickly understood what the problem was, and immediately said, "The money owed by Wang Xuance will naturally be repaid by the king."

"I don't know if there is an IOU?"

Ma Liu sneered and said, "Of course there is an IOU!"

"Written in black and white, the total value is 500 million."

After speaking, Ma Liu took out a large pile of IOUs and slapped them heavily in front of Li You.

Immediately, everyone present was stunned.

What is the concept of 500 million guan? You must know that the annual tax revenue of the Ministry of Households is about 300 million guan.

[My God, you guys have a little bit of confidence in making fakes. Believe it or not, although the grassland trade is prosperous, isn't 500 million coins too exaggerated? 】

[I don't know which fool came up with this number. 】

【There is nothing wrong with the brains here, how could they believe your words. 】

Li You looked at Ma Liu with an expression of looking at a fool, but in Ma Liu's eyes, he felt that Li You was completely shocked by him.

He raised his voice again and said: "I have written evidence, King Chu, do you want to renege on your debt?"

"There are so many elders here today, you all have to make decisions for me."

Ma Liu's honor combined with his aggrieved expression made everyone present speechless for a while.

Of course, the most speechless among them are several officials who have relations with Fan Yang and the Lu family.

They also received a letter before, hoping that if they encounter similar problems, they can come forward and don't let Li You take advantage of it.

But faced with this astronomical figure that normal people can't believe, they wanted to say something, but they were afraid that their colleagues would misunderstand that they had IQ problems.

Facing the cold scene, Ma Liu didn't realize it, and was still performing a one-man show with all his strength.

Seeing that scene made Li You feel embarrassed for a while.

In the end Li You couldn't stand it anymore, he said, "Ma Liu, did you get these bills yourself?"

"When Wang Xuance delivered it to you, did he have a password?"

"With such a large amount of money, there are other verification methods besides the IOU."

Hearing this, Ma Liu stopped talking instantly, and froze on the spot.

At that time, the employer did not tell Ma Liu what password he had, so Ma Liu was naturally at a loss.

But he was hired to make trouble here, and the employer didn't expect how much money he would get through him, but just let him make the trouble bigger and better.

He couldn't answer Li You's question, so he naturally had a way to muddle through.

"King Chu, I didn't go to the grassland, but my brothers.",

"My brother couldn't afford to get sick after he came back from the grassland. I have no choice but to get back the money to buy a better doctor for my brother!"

As soon as these words came out, all the people present couldn't bear to look directly.

This is such a serious disease that it takes more than one year's tax revenue from the country to hire a doctor!

However, Li You didn't realize it, and said with concern: "What's wrong with your brother? Teacher Duanmu in our school is a first-class doctor."

"Why don't I let him treat your brother later!"

Where did the brothers from Maliu come from, and the medical treatment and so on are all lies.

Pressed by Li You again, he panicked again: "King Chu, I was about to say something wrong just now. My brother is dead. I found these IOUs when I was packing up his belongings!"

"The king of Chu gave me a quick word, can this money be exchanged?"

"I heard that the king of Chu has a good reputation, the price of salt in the salt prison is extremely cheap, the food court is luxuriously decorated, and there are picturesque boats on Xinglong Lake for the common people to watch for free."

"You won't default on your bills!"

These words were given to Ma Liu by the employer, and he must speak out.

Now that Ma Liu was being cornered by Li You, he simply said it first, and then he just messed around.

Needless to say, these words really aroused the association of many ministers present.

Li You has made a lot of moves recently, but what often surprises him is not only the quality far higher than this era, but also the price far lower than the market.

For the former, it is technological progress and a breakthrough in real products, and no one can question it.

But for this price, the aristocratic family has a lot of doubts.

The more common suspicion is that Li You embezzled the money from the household department.

But now the Ministry of household filling is also better than before, so this statement is self-defeating.

But this time, Ma Liu's words gave those who wanted to embarrass Li You a new breakthrough.
