With a "bang", Yang Wan, who was sitting in the host's seat, put down the chopsticks in her hand.

The other officials and the students present also quickly put them down, and people were waiting for the lectures of the Secretariat. The huge lecture hall was full of silence and no one dared to eat food.

Gao Yue also put it down and took the opportunity to find the exquisite small pastry that Hong Shao Ting gave him. He hurriedly lowered his head and ate two bites secretly because the food on the table was too crude.

"Chen Huiguang, the secretary of Shuofang, is he?" Yang Wan asked.

Soon, an official bowed and said that the officials were here. He said that the Prime Minister had originally had his birthday and the King of Fenyang should have personally attended the banquet. However, because the wife of Huo State passed away, the prince and his eighth son and seven sons-in-law were still in the mourning period, so he sent me to come and hoped that the Prime Minister would be forgiven.

Yang Wan didn't care about this, he frowned, "Last year, King Fenyang invited court officials at Qinrenfang's residence, and spent 200,000 yuan in one meal. Is there any such thing?"

As soon as these words were said, all the officials present bowed their heads and were uneasy. Chen Huiguang, who replaced Gao Ying as the secretary of Guo Ziyi, looked even more embarrassed when facing this question.

But Yang Wan is in this style. He has always hated evil and speaks out loud. He dares to judge Guo Ziyi, King Fenyang in public. He is probably the only one in the court.

This is also the reason why Emperor Daizong finally appointed Yang Wan as prime minister.

"Yes, this is indeed the case." Chen Huiguang could not avoid it.

"Do you, the youngest general of Jingzhao Prefecture, come?"

Another official hurriedly replied that he was here.

Before he finished speaking, Yang Wan slapped the chopsticks heavily, and all the officials at the banquet were so scared that they shook, "The good thing that Jingzhao Mansion has done in the past two years! It is dedicated to sending the sons of noble officials to take the Jinshi exam, and it is said that they will win eight people for ten people, which makes the students of the Imperial College have talent, but they have been given the grades again and again, so that some people die of heartache because of the grades."

It turned out that the news of Zhang Tan's tragic death had reached Yang Wan's ears.

Du Ji just leaned on the mat and shivered, letting Yang Wan scold him, and did not dare to say a word.

"In addition, your Dayin traveled every day, with his followers dressed in beautiful clothes, no less than two or three hundred riders, clamoring for the various official streets of Chang'an City. Do you know what disturbing the people and extravagance is?" Yang Wan said this, her white beard was so angry that she trembled rhythmically.

"After the order, Dayin was going to attend the banquet (on duty) in the delivery courtyard of Daming Palace on two days. After the official returned, he immediately conveyed the Prime Minister's intention to Dayin, but to what extent the severance was, I hope the Prime Minister would make it clear."

"Can you only keep ten horses, that is, tomorrow? "

"Dare not obeying!" The young Yin of Jingzhao Du Ji hurriedly sang a promise.

Wow, Yang Wan is really majestic. Gao Yue, who witnessed all this behind, admired and envied him. Sure enough, when he became the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, he was really inferior to one person and above ten thousand people.

Then Yang Wan asked again, "Cui Zhongcheng."

Now, a middle-aged official walked out before the Prime Minister said anything, and bowed to Yang Wan's case. This person was Cui Kuan, the chief censor. Cui Kuan said directly, "Reported to the Prime Minister, a brother has a house in the south of Tongjifang, named Yuetang, which is already a luxury. After spring, he gathered craftsmen to destroy it. All the wood and stone materials will be sent to the imperial city for free as a confiscation!"

Oh, it turns out that Changlepo Yuetang I saw yesterday was from Brother Cui Zhongcheng's house.

Liu Deshi leaned over and introduced, "This brother of Cui Zhongcheng is amazing. He is the governor of Xichuan and the secretary of the procurator, Cui Ning, who has been in charge of Shu for ten years. His family's wealth is more than billions!"

Yang Wan laughed, stroked his beard and squinted his eyes and said to Cui Kuan, "In the past two years, the people in Chang'an City have insufficient water use every year. In addition to the impact of spring drought, it is because the dignitaries set up water bottles (i.e., water mills) on the canals in the city to reduce the consumption of water bottles and block the channels. I originally wanted to ask you, Cui, to destroy the five water bottles in your house, and set an example for the officials in the court..."

"The moon hall is about to be level, and the water will be destroyed!" Before Yang Wan finished speaking, Cui Kuan immediately frowned his eyebrows, waved his sleeves, and expressed his attitude with great momentum.

Yang Wan nodded with satisfaction, then softly said, raised her chopsticks, and told everyone that she would eat.

Many officials who attended the banquet laughed reluctantly, and raised their chopsticks to each other and persuaded them to eat, eat, eat.

But they were used to being well-dressed and could eat there! Gao Yue looked at them and grinned in pain. Yang Wan personally picked up a few portions of wild vegetables and put them in her mouth and chewed them slowly. As she chewed them, she started crying again.

When the prime minister cried like this, the officials were confused. They all stopped anxiously and tears were about to emerge.

"Everyone, I, Yang Wan, think I am frugal on weekdays. I didn't expect that after stuttering the food from the Imperial College today, I realized how shabby and sad the emperor's disciples have lived over the years!" Yang Wan became more and more excited and sad as she spoke, and tears surging down his wrinkled face.

All the officials were crying and wishing they were even more sad than the prime minister.

At this time, Cui Kuan turned it out again and suggested on the spot, "Please allocate the monthly manual labor class money for officials above the sixth rank in Beijing to the Imperial College as kitchen materials."

As soon as Cui Kuan said this, other officials responded on the surface, and their hearts were full of "mmp" sounds.

The hand-power class was originally a corvee service in the Tang Dynasty, which was to collect and distribute to serve the officials. The people who were assigned to Beijing were called Fangge, the servants, and the people who were assigned to foreign officials were called Bai Zhi, and the people who were assigned to foreign officials were called Bai Zhi, and there were also various chores such as Shili, insiders, marriages, and servants. The main task was to carry sedan chairs, fan them, guard them, watch the doors, serve clothes and tea, etc. for officials. This was originally a fixed welfare system, but with the development of the commodity economy, one was to become an official, but as the people did not need so many servants, and the other was that the people did not want to be assigned to delay their work. Therefore, the Tang government simply changed all the "hand-power class" from active duty to capital payments - that is, the people in the capital and prefectures and counties directly paid the "hand-power class money" to replace labor, and this money was also distributed to Beijing officials and foreign officials as part of the official salary.

Now Cui Kuan openly wants to give the money for the Imperial College as a kitchenware. This is simply a blessing from ours, and it makes the beauty of your Cui family. Anyway, your Cui family doesn’t rely on official salary to make a living!

However, Yang Wan agreed with Cui Kuan's proposal, praising the Cui family for being a descendant of the Cui family of Boling, and the family style was indeed amazing.

In a blink of an eye, the young emperor of Jingzhao Du Ji also turned away, and bowed down, and took the initiative to ask, "From then, Jingzhao Mansion sent his son to the Ministry of Rites to take the exam. If he gave ten people, he would first select five people from the Imperial College. If he gave twenty people, he would first select ten people from the Imperial College - the emperor's disciples should not be wronged."

Gao Yue thought to himself that Chen Huiguang, the chief secretary of King Fenyang, would also transfer it.

As expected, Chen Huiguang also bowed to Yang Wan's case and said that after returning, he would advise King Fenyang to donate 5,000 guan to repair the Lu Saint Palace and various halls in the Imperial College.

"Very good. If King Fenyang makes such a good move, other important officials in the capital will respond enthusiastically! When Wang Jin was on the road, he instigated the Holy Lord and the governors to give a large amount of money and build Buddhist temples. The countless beautiful fields in the capital were annexed and occupied by the temples and communities. They must be returned one by one to be used as official fields and for the need for learning fields."
