Fake eunuch in the palace

Chapter 104
Li Yi knocked his head and took Yin Cheng to the Imperial College.

The publication and printing of all official books in Daqian is under the responsibility of the Guozijian, which uses woodblock printing.

Li Yi visited the printing factory and frowned secretly.

The total number of people is less than 200, which is really not taken seriously.

After looking around, Li Yi went to Tang Mingji, the Guozijian Jijiu.

The Tang family is no stranger to Li Yi, the eunuch, so don't get too involved.

First came Taimiao, then wine, then Xiaoyi and Xin'er.

In terms of favors, there is no doubt that I owe a lot, and it is not easy to pay back.

The Tang family basically agreed to Li Yi's request.

Yinzi even loaded Li Yi with carts and carts, pointing to the fact that he could weaken the favor one by one.

Li Yi is smart and never asks for anything.

The Tang family's active and passive concepts are different.

If he doesn't take the initiative, no matter what the Tang family gives, this favor cannot be completely eliminated. In the future, if Li Yi encounters difficulties and asks for help, the Tang family will do it even if they pinch their noses.

Fortunately, Li Yi is not a treacherous person, he is very measured, what can be done and what can't be done, he is very clear in his heart.

The only bad thing is that Xiaoyi fell in love with Li Yi.

A eunuch doesn't know what to do with being so handsome.

If Li Yi knew that everyone in the Tang family was complaining about him so much, he had to roll up his sleeves to argue with them, what's wrong, it's my fault for being handsome!It's not that he let Tang Yimeng see it.

The little girl has foresight, she has discerning eyes!
"Why did you come here, the Imperial College still has something you want to toss?"

Tang Mingji is Tang Zhengqi's father, and through his son, he can roughly judge his father's virtue.

This is not a scrupulous scholar, he is very evasive, but the strange thing is that he entered the Imperial Academy, and also served as the Imperial Academy to offer wine.

I don't know if Tang Jiatong got involved through connections.

Li Yi took a good look at the real talent and learning. The middle-aged Confucian scholar had a folding fan on his waist. He didn't see anything else, but he was sure that this person was sullen.

"Come to ask out of curiosity, why is the printing factory an important institution, but the staff is pitifully small, it must be, you are greedy for money!"

The relationship between Li Yi and the Tang family cannot be explained clearly in a few words, which also led to his speaking very casually.

"As far as the Guozijian's money is concerned, I can't even look down on it for nothing." Tang Mingji blew on his tea, "The emperor doesn't care about enlightenment."

"Most scholars are attached to aristocratic families, and they do not lack a few broken books printed by the imperial court."

"As for ordinary people, they are reluctant to part with this money."

"In addition to the annual coping tasks, the printing factory basically puts it on hold at other times."

"You just let it go?" Li Yi raised his eyebrows.

"Otherwise, pay out of your own pocket?"

"Even if books are widely distributed and no one teaches them, they are just waste paper."

"In addition, this move will attract hostility from all the families and control the scholars, thus increasing your right to speak. If you try to break and violate their interests, they can beat you to death."

"If the emperor is a hard-working man, if he makes a drastic move, he will be able to change the situation. The scholars will no longer come from various clans, and the poor children will have a bright future."

"But how about the emperor, you should know best."

Tang Mingji opened the folding fan and said leisurely.

Li Yi raised his eyebrows lightly, said goodbye to Tang Mingji without saying anything more.

Tang Mingji looked at his back and put away his folding fan. Li Yi is capable of doing things, but he is very ambitious. It didn't take long before he set his sights on the printing factory.

To be more precise, he wanted to completely break the situation.

If you walk in a hurry, it's easy to tear your eggs.

Tsk, confused, Tang Mingji knocked on his head with his folding fan, Li Yi is a eunuch, no eggs.

At most, the hot tofu will burn your mouth.

Not long after Li Yi left, an imperial edict was issued to the Imperial College, asking Tang Mingji to expand the scale of the printing factory and carry out reorganization.Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers.

Holding the imperial decree, Tang Mingji shook his head lightly. This time, he was extremely unfavorable to Li Yi.

Young people, still suffer less.

If you suffer more setbacks, you won't be so impulsive in the future.

"Duke, Miss Tang family asked you to have a talk at Qing teahouse."

All avant-garde went to Li Yi to report.

Li Yi nodded, put down his pen, stood up and stretched, and walked out.

Tang Xin sipped her tea quietly, and her every move was impeccably elegant.

Looking at the tea, while waiting, Tang Xin suddenly remembered those days in that small room with Li Yi, and his brows became dazed.

"What are you thinking, so engrossed?"

Li Yi looked at her, he came in, but Tang Xin didn't respond.

"Miss you."

Looking at Li Yi's face, Tang Xin opened her lips before she fully recovered. As soon as the words came out of her mouth, she immediately realized and added, "Why haven't you come yet?"

"It will take time for Duqian to get here, and you haven't given me wings."

Li Yi leaned back in his chair, "It's been so long since we've been apart, it's rare that Miss Tang will take the initiative to find me."

"If you want to borrow money, don't open your mouth, so as not to hurt your feelings."

"... "

"You promised Xiaoyi?"

Tang Xin pursed her lips and spoke slowly.

Li Yi looked at Tang Xin, took a sip of tea, "Second Miss Tang is outspoken, she doesn't hesitate to be ridiculed by the world, but she also defends me. I can't help but feel this way."

"Li Yi, you can't give her a future."

Tang Xin raised her eyes with a serious expression, "I always thought that you were clear, but you also became as confused as her."

"No matter how powerful you are, the Tang family will not give you Xiaoyi."

"You have to try everything." Li Yi walked to the window, and after a while, he spoke again, "I gave her a few years, enough for her to calm down."

"If a few years later, she thinks that it was just an act of youth and ignorance, I will pretend that nothing happened, but if her mind remains unchanged, I will keep my promise to her.

"Li Yi."

Tang Xin frowned, "Are you serious about pleasing Xiaoyi?"

"I'm not a child's play. When I heard that she fell off the cliff that day, I was flustered. Fortunately, the vines and branches along the way buffered the strength."

"She was just frightened and slightly injured."

"If the second lady didn't express her intentions, I might bury this throbbing deeply and fade it away, making it a good thing in my memory."

"But since the two are happy, if she can stay in the courtyard for me, I should also work hard for her."

"Li Yi..."

Tang Xin stared at him, her red lips moved slightly, but she didn't say anything.

She couldn't bear to hurt his self-esteem, the word eunuch should be the deepest scar in his heart.

"I will persuade Xiaoyi to let go." Tang Xin lowered her eyes and whispered.

As an older sister, Tang Yimeng was young and ignorant, and she didn't know the horrors of the world, so she had to plan for her.

Tang Yimeng would have to live in ridicule for a noble girl marrying an eunuch all her life.

"It's just a different position. From your point of view, there is nothing wrong with it. You don't have to feel that this move hurts me."

Li Yi turned around and smiled at Tang Xin, "If nothing else, I'll leave first."
