Chapter 16
After leaving Taichang Temple, Dai Ting, who had been following him silently, spoke: "Your Highness, we didn't bring that much money to Jiucheng Palace."
Li Yuanying was stunned: "No?" He had no idea about money. After all, he didn't have to spend money, so he just used it to reward the people below.
Before leaving, Liu Baolin handed over the task of keeping the money to Dai Ting, so Dai Ting was very clear about this and answered firmly: "No."
Li Yuanying was not panicked at all: "It's okay, I'll borrow it!"
Dai Ting followed Li Yuanying silently and watched Li Yuanying go straight to the place where His Majesty Li Er discussed politics. Judging from this posture, Li Yuanying obviously wanted to borrow it from His Majesty Li Er!
Dai Ting guessed correctly. Li Yuanying was the idea of His Majesty Li Er. Everyone said that all over the world is the king's land, and His Majesty Li Er must be short of money!
Li Yuanying ran directly to the meeting hall and looked around, preparing to find an opportunity to go in and find His Majesty Li Er.
His Majesty Li Er had already seen Li Yuanying's sneaky figure, but he continued to discuss the matter with others quietly. When he saw Li Yuanying scratching his head outside, His Majesty Li Er asked him to carry him into the conference hall.
After being busy for most of the day, His Majesty Li Er was also exhausted, and waved his hand to let Changsun Wuji and others retreat. When there was no one in the house, His Majesty Li Er asked Li Yuanying: "What are you here to do?"
Although he is so young, he is essentially a bad thing to call the emperor brother and ignore you if he has something to do. If he hasn't asked for something, he would hide from him so obviously!
Li Yuanying said shyly: "Brother, I want to borrow some money from you!"
His Majesty Li Er said wonder: "What do you want to make money if you eat it in the palace and use it in the palace?"
Li Yuanying told His Majesty Li Er about his great idea, saying that he was about to make a book, and he would print a hundred copies at one time, and even one of them could not be missing! Li Yuanying also patted his chest with great care and would definitely give him one copy to His Majesty Li Er when it was printed!
After hearing the number of Li Yuanying's report, His Majesty Li Er couldn't help but jump.
This kid is really a child who sells his land. He doesn’t feel sorry for his squandering so many treasures, he doesn’t blink when he squanders!
His Majesty Li Er was quite ruthless: "You write a IOU, and I will have someone to send it to you."
Li Yuanying knew that His Majesty Li Er was so virtuous. He hummed twice and asked the eunuch who was serving him to write a promissory note for His Majesty Li Er. Although he had never written this thing, he did not hesitate at all. He even added one more digit to the budget given by Li Chunfeng.
According to Li Yuanying, since it is so troublesome to write an IOU, then borrow more at one time, so as not to borrow more if there is not enough.
Li Yuanying had a private treasury. His Majesty Li Er was not afraid that he would not be able to pay it back. He put away the IOU he handed over and asked someone to take him to pay the money.
Li Yuanying did not have the interest of being a porter himself, so he asked Dai Ting to find someone and moved all the money to Li Chunfeng.
When Li Chunfeng saw that the money had increased ten times more than his budget, he didn't know what to say for a moment.
Dai Ting conveyed Li Yuanying's meaning to Li Chunfeng: "If you can't use it, please keep it first and do something else next time."
Li Chunfeng was a free and easy person. Seeing that Li Yuanying didn't mention anything like "no use of it" or "no filling his pockets", he immediately responded with it. It's really worry-free to deal with people like His Highness Teng. You don't have to guess that I'm so tired!
Since Li Yuanying trusted himself so much, Li Chunfeng naturally did not delay and immediately began to gather people to complete the entrustment of Li Yuanying.
Dai Ting returned to Li Yuanying to serve after delivering the money.
Li Yuanying didn't ask Li Chunfeng what his reaction was, and he sorted out the drafts he had drawn during this period. Although he dug out more than 200 short stories in "Han Zi", not all stories are suitable for drawing, otherwise the book would be too thick!
Li Yuanying picked and selected and selected more typical stories such as "Three People Become a Tiger", "Contradictory", "Smart Zi Suspicion of Neighbors", "Super False Numbers", "Waiting for Rabbits", "Hidding Diseases and Do Not Do Doctors", and compiled them into a collection according to the order of their acceptance ability.
After sorting it out, Li Yuanying thought about it and felt that he had to ask someone to write a preface, which would be like a serious book!
Li Yuanying picked a circle among his friends and felt that Wei Shu was the most suitable, with good handwriting, smart and reliable!
Li Yuanying kept holding the manuscript and searching for Wei Shu.
Wei Shu was shocked when she heard that Li Yuanying was going to print books. Although she had many books in her home, she was all hand-copied. She had never seen a book printed in woodblocks.
Wei Shu took the manuscript solemnly, feeling a little guilty: "I may not write well."
Li Yuanying said: "You are so good, you can definitely write it well!"
At this time, Wei Zheng happened to come back. Seeing that Li Yuanying was at his home again, he asked Li Yuanying what he was doing.
Li Yuanying told Wei Zheng about his thoughts in this way and told Wei Zheng that he was coming this time to add a preface to the book.
When he heard that Li Yuanying was looking for someone to write the preface, Wei Zheng stroked his beard and said, "Has he really written it? Show me the manuscript. If I think it's good, I'll write one for you."
Li Yuanying blinked and said firmly: "No, I won't write it to you. You are too old and not suitable! This is the book we children read. I am going to ask Sister Shu to write the preface!"
Wei Shu laughed aside.
This brat is so love and hateful! Wei Zheng glared at Li Yuanying with anger and scolded: "Okay, I won't write you the preface, you can show it to me."
Li Yuanying refused to agree: "No, it has not been printed yet, so you can't show it to others!" After that, he pulled Wei Shu directly to recruit Wei Zheng's study and stretched out a little finger at Wei Shu, "We'll pull the hook, you can't show the manuscript to Lao Wei."
Wei Shu also stretched out her little finger and made an agreement with Li Yuanying, and then put the manuscript brought by Li Yuanying into her own exclusive small box, indicating that she would write the preface as soon as possible.
When Wei Shu thought of the opportunity to print the words she wrote into a book, she was also very excited and happily sent Li Yuanying away.
On the way back, Li Yuanying muttered to himself: "The girl's hands are so soft, and she feels different."
Dai Ting didn't say anything tactfully.
Li Yuanying went back happily for dinner.
After arranging the printing of the book, Li Yuanying did not mention it with Li Zhi and the others, and was about to give them a surprise. In the next few days, he returned to his usual style and worked against the teachers who taught every day.
A few days later, Li Yuanying went to find Wei Shu. Wei Shu's preface was written, and the manuscript was not even raised, so it was kept very well.
Wei Shu praised: "The story you drew is very beautiful!"
Li Yuanying said proudly, "Of course", and then thought of being more modest, and added: "The stories are all from "Han Zi", and there are some that are not suitable for drawing. I will tell you directly next time."
Wei Shu nodded.
When Li Yuanying picked out the preface written by Wei Shu, he saw that the handwriting on it was beautiful and beautiful at first glance, which was obviously much better than the last time. When looking at the content, it was also fresh and timeless, and it was quite interesting to read.
Li Yuanying praised Wei Shu on the spot, and didn't care about her being embarrassed.
Wei Shu wrote the preface and Li Chunfeng was also prepared. Li Yuanying had seen several carving results and felt that the finished product was very satisfied with him, so he gave the manuscript to Li Chunfeng and asked Li Chunfeng to help him print the manuscript. Otherwise, if it would take too long, they would all return to Beijing!
Li Chunfeng promised to print the book as soon as possible.
Li Yuanying likes Li Chunfeng, who is very happy, and he is not in a hurry to leave after giving the manuscript. Instead, he sits down and chats with Li Chunfeng.
Although the two were nearly ten or twenty years apart, they felt quite acquainted when they communicated. Li Chunfeng also took Li Yuanying to see some of his restored objects, all of which were read from ancient books.
For example, a stalker.
This thing is recorded in "Xunzi". It is said that it was placed in the ancestral temple of King Lu. Li Yuanying also saw this thing, and when he saw the real thing, he couldn't help but try it himself: in the middle of the sliver, it was connected by two bases. When it was empty, the container would tilt to one side; if water was added to the middle, the container would steadily stop in the middle; if water was filled, the container would overturn to the other side, and all the water inside would pour out!
After Li Yuanying finished the experiment, he turned around the sliver twice, thinking that this was really strange, so he grabbed Li Chunfeng and asked about the principle.
Li Chunfeng knew everything and said everything.
Li Yuanying also learned from Li Chunfeng that Xunzi served as a priest at the Jixia Academy in the late Warring States Period. Like Kong Yingda, he was engaged in education and disciples all over the world. For example, the author of "Han Zi" he was reading recently. Han Fei is a disciple of Xunzi, and many of his views were inherited from Xunzi. For example, "human nature is evil", and people are born bad, and they need to be educated and guided to become better!
Li Yuanying thought there were so many amazing people. When he heard that Xunzi was so awesome, he really wanted to read the articles written by Xunzi.
When he thought that if Li Chunfeng introduced all the other things, he didn't know how many books he should have read, Li Yuanying immediately refused to read them again and ran away!
With the trouble of "I don't think so much like me at all" outside, Li Yuanying unknowingly walked around Li Tai. He remembered that he hadn't visited Xiao Deyan for several days, and immediately ran in to find someone else without seeing him.
After running to the place where Xiao Deyan often stayed, Li Yuanying found that Li Tai was there, and was talking to Xiao Deyan.
Li Yuanying sneaked over, but heard Li Tai telling Xiao Deyan that he wanted to print books related to Han Zi, and even went to borrow money from His Majesty Li Er.
Li Tai believes that this matter is inappropriate. It is not only extravagant and wasteful, but also promotes the evil laws of merchants and Koreans.
OK, this is talking about something behind the scenes!
Li Yuanying didn't care that he was eavesdropping, and rushed out and said angrily: "I borrowed the emperor's money and didn't repay it. What's your complaint with the teacher?" No matter how stunned Li Tai was, he ran away from Xiao Deyan without seeing any sight. He said to Xiao Deyan in dissatisfaction, "I want to print some books and give them to Yizi and the others. What's the use of extravagance! If you don't spend money, I don't spend money, who will buy things outside? Who asked the craftsman to do work? I heard that farmers also have to sell takeout rice and vegetables! The money is in my hands and can't make money. What's the use of saving? Why can't I spend my own money?"
When Xiao Deyan heard his arguments, he couldn't help but raise his hand and rub his head, laughing: "You are right."
Li Tai's face is a little dark. You kid treat this as your own home, right? Come on as soon as you want, don't even need to report it, and you can eavesdrop on others' speeches!
The most annoying thing is that Xiao Deyan also likes him very much.
Now, when he heard Xiao Deyan's affirmation, Li Yuanying's tail immediately raised up and showed a smile on Li Tai.
Li Yuanying didn't care whether Li Tai hated him or not, and directly talked to Xiao Deyan about looking for Li Chunfeng just now. As a little devil who regards mischief as a common occurrence, he was not used to his sudden desire for knowledge and told Xiao Deyan in confusion: "You said why do I want to read all kinds of books now? I still have so many fun things to play with, so how can I get so much time to read books!"
Xiao Deyan smiled when he heard this, and did not think that Li Yuanying was naughty, but still tempted: "Look at how you read books frequently now, and it doesn't delay you from playing? Instead, you can find more new and fun things."
When Li Yuanying heard this, he suddenly became enlightened and said happily: "I understand!" Li Yuanying didn't think he was an uninvited outsider at all. When he saw Li Tailai listening to him and Xiao Deyan talk, he was obviously jealous of Xiao Deyan's preference for him, and he suddenly became more excited. He took out a candy and took it open, and handed it to Xiao Deyan to offer treasure, "This candy is very sweet, please try it!"
Li Tai: “…”
This kid definitely did it on purpose!!!
The author has something to say:
Little Prince: I am very happy to see you unhappy!
