EBE Chapter 152 You Will Always Be My Friend
Chapter 152 You Will Always Be My Friend
As for Yin Li, since he had a new assignment, he naturally had to chat with his friends.
After he finished the work he was doing, he had dinner with Xiao Yi in the evening.
"So, the boss has handed over the task of teaching and educating people to the military advisor?" Xiao Yi's expression was complicated: "From now on, all the officials of Chaoyang Villa will become your disciples."
"Military Advisor, you already have the right to command the army, and now you have been given such a good job. The boss really values you."
His smile was a little stiff: "But this is normal. Military advisor, you are knowledgeable and talented, so it is reasonable for you to gain the trust of the boss."
"My Lord, you..." Yin Li was very perceptive and immediately sensed that something was wrong with Xiao Yi: "Are you okay?"
Xiao Yi lowered his eyes and was silent for a long time before he smiled bitterly and said, "It's nothing. It's just that I haven't been getting along well with the Red Soul Army recently. It's okay, it's okay. I will take care of it."
He picked up the wine glass and forced a smile: "Let's not talk about this today. Come, Military Advisor, I'll toast you a glass and wish you a successful career."
After saying that, he drank it in one gulp.
Seeing him like this, Yin Li couldn't drink any more: "My Lord, how about I go and talk to General Qi Lei tomorrow?"
"The Red Soul Army has been stationed at the border for many years. They are all brave men. They will not be unreasonable."
"Haha, no need." Xiao Yi laughed out loud at this time: "Don't worry, military advisor. After all, I am now the general appointed by the boss himself. No matter whether it is our original troops or the Red Soul Army, they have to listen to me."
"Speaking of which, I was born a commoner, and I am already very satisfied with my current career."
Yin Li looked at him again before saying, "That's fine, but my lord, if you have any problems in the future, just come to me."
"No matter what, you will always be my best friend."
A hint of warmth appeared in Xiao Yi's eyes.
He raised his hand and patted Yin Li's shoulder, smiling: "I know."
Seeing that his expression had returned to normal, Yin Li felt relieved and started drinking in peace.
In the next few days, he focused all his attention on the academy, mainly because there were so many things to do and they were so complicated.
The construction of the academy, the selection requirements for teachers, and what students should learn, each one has to be carefully considered. The light in Yin Li's study has not been turned off in the past few days.
After several days of hard work, he finally sorted out everything and wrote it down for Luo Xi to see.
Luo looked at his panda-like dark circles and sallow complexion, and felt guilty for a moment.
"Military advisor, you have worked hard. Have some tea to refresh yourself." She coughed lightly, picked up the tea boiled with spiritual spring water at hand, and poured him a cup.
Although Yin Li was tired, his eyes were still bright. He took the tea respectfully and said, "This is my job, so it's not hard work."
As he said that, he quickly took a sip. It was sweet and refreshing. It was indeed that magical spring water. After drinking it, his energy and spirit returned.
He has always known that the boss has a magical spring. If his guess is correct, the magical seeds must be related to this. But since the boss himself didn't say it, he pretended to know nothing.
Luo Xi naturally likes people who know their limits: "Xiao Yu, prepare the military advisor's portion for breakfast, and remember to make it rich."
Liu Xiaoyu placed the cakes in front of the two men and nodded with a smile: "Don't worry, Master. You and the military advisor can eat some cakes first. I will prepare them right away."
She learned a lot of new cooking methods from Mr. Chu a few days ago, which came in handy.
Luo Xi was already deeply attracted by the document at this time. It's true that Yin Li was very talented. Whether it was the construction layout of the academy, the selection requirements and precautions for teachers, or the course arrangements for students, everything was arranged just right.
"Well done." Luo Xi praised sincerely.
Yin Li was still humble: "Thank you for the compliment, Boss."
Luo Xi smiled and gave him a few suggestions based on modern schools.
After hearing this, Yin Li's eyes lit up even more: "How could this subordinate not have thought of this? This is indeed better. I will change it in a moment."
How could it be bad? This is the experience summed up after thousands of years, Luo Xi thought to himself.
Yin Li put away the document and said, "Boss, once the revision is completed, the document can be sent to all counties, but..."
He paused: "Our books and writings?"
Don’t let the students enter the college but still be unable to publish, that would be a joke.
"Besides, if you charge too many tuition fees, and few students can afford to study, I'm afraid it won't be in line with your original intention of running the academy."
"Don't worry." Luo Xi smiled mysteriously: "The tuition fee is just ten taels of silver a year. We will provide all the books and writing materials, and give each person two sets of clothes. I think most people will still be willing to come."
"Ten taels? And give me clothes?" Yin Li's face changed for the first time: "No, no, big boss, this little money is not enough to pay for the teacher's monthly salary, and even the textbooks."
"I know that the boss has a lot of money, but the academy is not a short-term thing. We can't just open it for one or two years, right?"
Before Luo Xi could say anything, Chu Zhe came in holding a bunch of things.
"Don't worry, Military Advisor. It won't be open for just one or two years. Books and other things won't cost much."
He put the things in his hand on the table and handed a book to Yin Li: "Military Advisor, take a look, is this book okay?"
Isn't this the "Three Character Classic" he wrote to Mr. Chu a few days ago? Yin Li took it suspiciously.
But after opening it, he was shocked again and his eyes widened: "This, this..."
It is clearly his handwriting, but it doesn't look quite like it. It feels like it was printed with a seal.
Yin Li remembered something and quickly opened the other books on the table. Sure enough, they were all exactly the same as this one, even his habitual cursive handwriting was the same.
"Mr. Chu, how did you do it?"
Chu Zhe didn't sell his relationship and uttered a few words: "Movable type printing!"
He picked up the jade seal on Luo Xi's desk and stamped it on the white paper. When he picked it up again, the two words "Luo Xi" appeared clearly.
Yin Li was a smart man and understood it immediately: "So, as long as we carve the characters one by one like a seal, and then arrange them according to the characters in the book, we can print a page of the book in an instant."
"Not bad." Chu Zhe nodded: "As long as the plate is ready, it will be no problem to print thousands of copies a day, so it's naturally not worth much money."
"Of course, if there are more words, it will be slower and more expensive."
Yin Li controlled his slightly trembling hands, took a deep breath and asked: "How much does a copy of the Three Character Classic cost?"
Chu Zhe thought for a moment and said, "It's only... a few dozen coins. Of course, if tens of thousands of copies are printed, a dozen coins will be about the same."
