After leaving Taichang Temple, Dai Ting, who had been silently following him all this time, said, "Your Highness, we didn't bring that much money to Jiucheng Palace."

Li Yuanying was taken aback: "No?" He didn't have any idea about money, after all, he didn't need to spend much money, and he usually just used it to reward the people under him.

Before leaving, Liu Baolin entrusted Dai Ting with the task of keeping the money, so Dai Ting was very clear about this, and replied firmly: "No."

Li Yuanying didn't panic at all: "It's okay, I'll borrow it!"

Dai Ting followed Li Yuanying silently again, watching Li Yuanying go straight to the place where His Majesty Li Er was discussing politics. Judging by this posture, Li Yuanying obviously wants to borrow it from His Majesty Li Er!

Dai Ting guessed right, Li Yuanying was playing His Majesty Li Er's idea. Don't everyone say that there is no king in the world, His Majesty Li Er must not be short of money!

Li Yuanying ran directly to the meeting hall to look around, looking for an opportunity to go in and find His Majesty Li Er.

His Majesty Li Er had already caught a glimpse of Li Yuanying's sneaky figure, but continued to discuss business with the others calmly. After seeing Li Yuanying scratching his ears and circling around outside, His Majesty Li Er sent someone to carry him into the meeting hall.

After being busy for a long time, His Majesty Li Er was also tired, so he waved his hand to let Changsun Wuji and others back down. When there was no one else in the room, His Majesty Li Er asked Li Yuanying: "What are you doing here?"

Don't look at him being so young, he is essentially a bad guy who calls the emperor to ignore you if he has something to do. If he doesn't ask for something, it is so obvious to hide from him!

Li Yuanying said shyly, "Brother Huang, I want to borrow some money from you!"

His Majesty Li Er wondered: "You eat and spend in the palace, what do you need money for?"

Li Yuanying told His Majesty Li Er his great idea in this way, saying that he will soon make a book, and he will print a hundred copies in one printing, and there must be a whole book! Li Yuanying also generously patted his chest and assured that when it was printed, he would definitely send a copy to His Majesty Li Er!

His Majesty Li Er could not help but twitch his brows after hearing the count reported by Li Yuanying.

This kid really doesn't feel bad for selling his grandfather, relying on how many treasures he has, he really doesn't blink when he squanders it!

His Majesty Li Er was quite ruthless: "You write an IOU, and I'll ask someone to pay you."

Li Yuanying knew that His Majesty Li Er was of this virtue, hummed twice, and asked the servant next to him for a pen and paper to write an IOU for His Majesty Li Er. Although he had never written about it, he did not hesitate to write it, and even added a single digit to the budget given by Li Chunfeng.

According to Li Yuanying, since it is so troublesome to write IOUs, it is better to borrow more at one time, lest you need to borrow again if you don't have enough.

Li Yuanying had a small private treasury, and His Majesty Li Er was not afraid that he would not be able to repay it, so he put away the IOU he handed over and asked someone to take him to pay the money.

Li Yuanying was not interested in being a porter himself, so he directly asked Dai Ting to find someone to move all the money to Li Chunfeng.

When Li Chunfeng saw that the money was ten times higher than the budget, he didn't know what to say for a while.

Dai Ting conveyed Li Yuanying's meaning to Li Chunfeng: "Please keep what you can't use up, and do something else next time."

Li Chunfeng is a free and easy person, seeing that Li Yuanying didn't mention anything like "no misuse" or "no personal enrichment", he immediately agreed. Dealing with someone like His Highness King Teng is really worry-free, you don't have to guess so tired!

Since Li Yuanying trusted him so much, Li Chunfeng naturally did not delay, and immediately began to gather people to complete the tasks entrusted by Li Yuanying.

After delivering the money, Dai Ting returned to serve Li Yuanying.

Li Yuanying didn't ask Li Chunfeng what his reaction was at all, and just sorted out the sketches he had drawn during this period. Although he dug up more than 200 short stories in "Han Zi", not all of them are suitable for drawing, otherwise the book would be too thick!

Li Yuanying picks and chooses, selects typical stories such as "Three People Become Tigers", "Contradiction", "Sophisticated Son Suspicious Neighbors", "Suffering for Numbers", "Waiting for a Rabbit", "Concealed Diseases and Avoiding Doctors", etc., and organizes them into collections according to their acceptance. Abilities are programmed.

After sorting it out, Li Yuanying thought about it, and felt that he had to ask someone to write a preface, so that it would look like a serious book!

Li Yuanying picked a circle among the friends, and felt that Wei Shu was the most suitable, with good words, smart, and reliable!

Li Yuanying carried the manuscript non-stop to find Wei Shu.

Wei Shu was surprised when she heard that Li Yuanying was going to print a book. Although there are many books in her family, they are all hand-copied, and she has never seen a book printed with an engraving block.

Wei Shu took the manuscript seriously, feeling a little guilty: "I may not write well."

Li Yuanying said: "You are so good, you must be able to write well!"

At this time, Wei Zheng came back by chance. Seeing that Li Yuanying was at his home again, he asked Li Yuanying what he was doing here.

Li Yuanying told Wei Zheng his thoughts like this, and told Wei Zheng that he came this time to add a preface to the book.

Hearing that Li Yuanying wanted someone to write the preface, Wei Zheng stroked his beard and said, "It's really written? Show me the manuscript, and if I think it's good, I'll write one for you."

Li Yuanying blinked, and said firmly: "No, I won't write for you, you are too old to be suitable! This is a book for our children, and I am going to let sister Shu write the preface!"

Wei Shu chuckled aside.

This stinky boy really makes people love and hate! Wei Zheng glared at Li Yuanying angrily, and scolded, "All right, I won't write the preface for you, show me."

Li Yuanying still didn't agree: "No, it hasn't been printed yet, so I can't show it to others!" After finishing speaking, he took Wei Shu and ran to requisition Wei Zheng's study, and pointed his little finger at Wei Shu, "We pull the hook, you can't give the manuscript to us. Look, Old Wei."

Wei Shu also stretched out a little finger to make an agreement with Li Yuanying's hook, and then put the manuscript brought by Li Yuanying into her own small box, expressing that she would write the preface as soon as possible.

Thinking of having the opportunity to print the words she wrote into a book, Wei Shu was also very happy, and happily sent Li Yuanying away.

On the way back, Li Yuanying murmured to himself: "Girls' hands are so soft, it just feels different."

Dai Ting tactfully remained silent.

Li Yuanying happily went back to have dinner.

After arranging the printing of the book, Li Yuanying didn't mention it to Li Zhi and the others, planning to give them a surprise. In the next few days, he returned to his usual stabbing style, confronting the teachers who were giving lectures every day.

A few days later, Li Yuanying went to look for Wei Shu, and Wei Shu's preface was written, and the manuscript was not turned up, so it was kept very well.

Wei Shu boasted: "The story you draw is very beautiful!"

Li Yuanying said triumphantly, "Of course", and then thought that he should be 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." listen."

Wei Shu nodded.

Li Yuanying picked out the preface written by Wei Shu and took a look at it. At first glance, he found that the handwriting on it was beautiful and beautiful, obviously improved a lot from the last time; looking at the content, it was also fresh and meaningful, and it was quite interesting to read.

Li Yuanying naturally praised Wei Shu on the spot, regardless of his embarrassment.

Wei Shu finished writing the preface, and Li Chunfeng also made preparations. Li Yuanying saw the results of several carvers and felt that he was very satisfied with the finished products, so he gave the manuscript to Li Chunfeng and asked Li Chunfeng to help him quickly. Print out the manuscript. Otherwise, if it takes too long, they will all return to Beijing!

Li Chunfeng promised to print the book as soon as possible.

Li Yuanying liked the straightforward Li Chunfeng very much, and he was not in a hurry to leave after finishing the manuscript, instead he sat down and chatted with Li Chunfeng.

Although the two of them were nearly ten or twenty years apart, they seemed to hit it off when they communicated. Li Chunfeng even took Li Yuanying to look at some of his restored objects, all of which were read from ancient books.

For example, a saber.

This thing is recorded in "Xunzi", and it is said that it was first placed in the ancestral temple of King Lu. Li Yuanying has also seen this thing, and couldn't help but want to try it out when he saw the real thing: there is a strange container in the middle of the container, which is connected by two bases, and the container will tilt to one side when it is empty; In the middle, the container will stop firmly in the middle; if the water is filled up, the container will tip over to the other side, and all the water inside will be poured out!

After Li Yuanying finished the experiment, he circled the receptacle twice, feeling that it was extremely strange, so he grabbed Li Chunfeng and asked about the reason.

Li Chunfeng knew everything and said everything.

Li Yuanying also learned from Li Chunfeng that Xunzi had been a sacrificial drinker at the Jixia Academy at the end of the Warring States period, and that like Kong Yingda, he was engaged in education, and had students all over the world. For example, he is reading "Han Zi" recently. The author Han Fei is a disciple of Xunzi. Many views have been passed down from Xunzi. For example, "human nature is evil", people are born bad, and they need to be educated to guide them to become better!

Li Yuanying wondered why there are so many great people. When he heard that Xunzi was so awesome, he really wanted to read the articles written by Xunzi.

Thinking about how many books he would want to read if Li Chunfeng introduced all the other things, Li Yuanying immediately refused to read any more and ran away!

Strolling around outside with the trouble of "wanting to study so much, it doesn't look like me at all", Li Yuanying unknowingly went around to Li Tai's side. He remembered that he hadn't visited Xiao Deyan for several days, and immediately ran in to find someone without seeing anyone.

After running to the place where Xiao Deyan often stayed, Li Yuanying found that Li Tai was also there, talking with Xiao Deyan.

Li Yuanying sneaked over, but heard that Li Tai was telling Xiao Deyan that he wanted to print books related to Han Zi, and even ran to borrow money from His Majesty Li Er.

Li Tai thinks this is very inappropriate, not only extravagant and wasteful, but also promotes the evil laws of Shang and Han.

Wow, that's gossip behind people's backs!

Li Yuanying didn't care that he was eavesdropping, he rushed out and said angrily, "It's not like I won't repay the money I borrowed from Brother Huang, why are you suing the teacher!" No matter how dumbfounded Li Tai was, he ran away to Xiao Deyan Sitting next to him, he said to Xiao Deyan unconvinced, "I want to print some books and give them to Sizi and the others, what a waste! If you don't spend money and I don't spend money, who buys things outside? Who hires craftsmen to do the work?" Huh? I heard that the farmers still sell rice and vegetables! If you hold money in your hands, you won’t make money. What’s the use of saving it? Why can’t I spend my own money?”

Xiao Deyan heard him refute such a long paragraph, couldn't help but raised his hand and rubbed his head, couldn't help laughing: "You are right."

Li Tai's face was a little dark. You kid thinks this is your home, right? Come whenever you want, you don't even need to give an announcement, and you even eavesdrop on other people's speeches!

The most annoying thing is that Xiao Deyan still loves him very much.

No, upon hearing Xiao Deyan's affirmation, Li Yuanying's tail immediately turned up, and she smiled triumphantly at Li Tai.

Li Yuanying didn't care whether Li Tai hated him or not, so he talked to Xiao Deyan about going to find Li Chunfeng just now. As a little devil who takes misbehavior as a daily routine, he is not used to his sudden thirst for knowledge, so he told Xiao Deyan about his confusion: "Why do you think I want to read all kinds of books now? I still have so much There are so many fun things to play, how can there be so much time to read books!"

Xiao Deyan smiled when he heard the words. He didn't think Li Yuanying was stubborn, but he was still persuasive: "Look at you, you often read books now, and it doesn't delay your playing? On the contrary, you can find more new and interesting things."

When Li Yuanying heard it, he suddenly became enlightened, and said happily: "I understand!" Li Yuanying didn't feel that he was an uninvited outsider at all, and when he caught a glimpse of Li Tailai listening to him talking with Xiao Deyan, he was obviously jealous that Xiao Deyan preferred it. He suddenly became more energetic. He diligently took out a candy and peeled it off, and handed it to Xiao Deyan's mouth to offer a treasure, "This candy is very sweet, you have to taste it!"

Li Tai: "..."

This kid definitely did it on purpose! ! !

The author has something to say:

Little Prince: Seeing you unhappy makes me very happy!

Li Tai: Get out, get out! (ノ`Д)ノ
