Prince Wei's Mansion, Literature Museum.
"Scholar Xiao, have you finished proofreading~?"
Li Tai came in from outside the house, bypassed the others, and came directly to the desk where Xiao Deyan worked, and asked expectantly.
Looking at Xiao Deyan again, his hair is disheveled, his face is haggard, and he has two big dark circles under his eyes. He looks like an evil ghost who just came out of hell. How can he still be as gentle and elegant as a few days ago~? Hearing Li Tai's question at this moment, he replied without raising his head: "Come on, come on~! Your Highness, wait a moment, the last proofreading will be over soon~!"
When Li Tai heard this, he nodded happily and did not rush, because he knew that these people in the literature museum were already working to the limit, so he said "hmm" and sat aside to wait for the results.
After about half an hour, Xiao Deyan slammed the brush on the inkstone and laughed loudly: "Haha~! The proofreading is completed, absolutely correct~! The book is done~! It's finally done~!"
Li Tai, who was lying on the table and flipping through the manuscript boredly, suddenly became excited and ran to Xiao Deyan in three or two steps. He said happily: "Scholar Xiao, have you finished proofreading~?"
Xiao Deyan nodded excitedly and said: "The proofreading is finished~! Your Highness, after seven days of hard work by thirteen of us, this "Geography" textbook has finally been compiled~!"
Xie Yan on the side couldn't help but said excitedly at this moment: "It's unbelievable~! It's really unbelievable~! Although Li County Man has completed most of this "Geography" textbook, even the remaining contents add up to the work. The quantity is not small, I didn’t expect it to be completed in only seven days~!”
Li Taiwen said: "Thanks to all the scholars for their hard work and hard work these days. After I hand over this book to Mr. Li, I will definitely go to the palace in person to ask for your credit~!"
Although Xiao Deyan looked extremely tired, when he heard the words at this moment, he still couldn't help laughing and said: "Haha~! Your Highness is serious~! Even if I can participate in the compilation of such a unique book, even if I don't get any credit, I, Xiao Deyan, am extremely happy~!"
Xie Yan then laughed and said: "De Yan is right. This "Geography" will definitely become a masterpiece handed down from generation to generation. By then, we may even be famous in history for it. After all, we are still in the favor of His Highness and Mr. Li County." Ah~!”
"That's it~! That's it~!"
The other bachelors thought it was reasonable and agreed one after another.
The little fat man couldn't help feeling a little proud as he listened to the compliments from around him. He secretly thought that he was the most discerning and the first one to take a fancy to Li Zexuan~!
After everyone returned to silence, Li Tai said to them: "Anyway, you have been very busy these days and have stayed up many nights for this. Now you go and have a rest~! I will go and compile the compiled "Geography" textbook, return it to sir~!"
After saying that, he reached out and prepared to pick up the book on the table and go to Yongle Square to find Li Zexuan.
As a result, um, I didn’t actually move it~?
Li Tai took a closer look and found that there were four extra hands on the book. Then he looked at the owners of those four hands, who were Xiao Deyan and Xie Yan. He couldn't help but wonder: "What do you two bachelors mean by this~?"
"Ahem~!"
Xiao Deyan coughed dryly and said sarcastically: "Your Highness, forgive me~! The content of this "Geography" is really brilliant. I am a little reluctant to part with it. I would like to borrow it for a few days and make a copy for my collection. Is that okay~?"
Xie Yan looked at Li Tai and nodded, indicating that he meant the same thing.
The others came to their senses and couldn't help but whisper behind them, eager to try.
Li Tai suddenly felt pressured. Logically speaking, these people had put in so much effort to perfect this book, so he lent them a copy of the book for their collection. This request was not excessive at all, but Yanhuang Academy couldn't wait. Ah~!
After thinking about it, Li Tai declined politely: "The two bachelors must also know that Yanhuang Academy will start school on the 18th of this month. A large number of teaching materials will be used by then, and they must be printed in advance~! So this book The compiled book must be delivered to Mr. Li as soon as possible~! If you two want to keep a copy for your collection, I will ask the workshop to print a few more copies, and then I will give them to each of you. How about giving me a copy~?"
Anyone who has been able to get along with Li Tai for so long is definitely not the kind of person who is single-minded. Xiao Deyan nodded and said: "What your Highness said is true. This saves a lot of time~!"
Xie Yan said: "That's right, that's right~! I have to thank His Highness for the book~!"
"Thank you, Your Highness~!"
………………………
In the afternoon, Li Tai came to Li's Mansion with the completed "Geography" textbook. Li Zexuan, who was taking a pleasant nap in the west courtyard, got up and came to the front hall after hearing the report.
"What~? Could it be that Qingque has finished compiling the "Geography" textbook over there~?"
Li Zexuan asked when he saw a fat man drinking wine and eating fresh fruits in the front hall.
It's not because he can count, but there is an extra book on the corner of the table. Judging from the thickness of the book, it should be the "Geography" textbook he gave to Li Tai last time~!
"Yeah~!"
Li Tai excitedly chewed the fruit he just ate and swallowed it, and then said excitedly: "I finished editing it yesterday afternoon. Later, all the bachelors in the academy did not take a break and worked on the book comprehensively all night long. After proofreading, it was almost noon today and I confirmed that there were no errors in it, and then I sent it to you personally~!"
Li Zexuan couldn't help but nodded repeatedly: "Yeah~! Yes, yes, they have all worked hard. In this way, in my own name, I will give each of the bachelors who participated in the compilation of this book 30 yuan of hard work subsidy. Later, Qingque, help me bring it to them~!"
"Hmm~!"
Li Tai nodded, he also understood that thirty strings was already a lot. Then he caught a glimpse of Li Zexuan sitting next to him and yawning, and immediately said a little unhappy: "Hey~! Xiaoxuan, did you just wake up~? Are you so embarrassed~? All of us over there are doing it for this book. I haven’t had a full night’s sleep in seven days, so it’s good for you, hiding at home alone, it’s really relaxing and comfortable~!”
Li Zexuan said angrily: "Which of your kid's eyes has seen that I am relaxed and comfortable~? You have been busy these seven days, could it be that I have been idle these seven days~? Didn't I compile the fourth textbook in the past seven days~? "
"Uh~!"
Li Tai was choked immediately and had nothing to say anymore. However, after hearing that there was another textbook, he couldn't help but curious: "The fourth textbook~? What is this about~? Can you lend it to me? See~?”
Apart from arithmetic and geography, he now knew nothing about the other two books, so of course he was curious.
Li Zexuan shook his head and said: "No~! Now that the four books are completed, I have to ask the workshop to hurry up and print them. If you want to read it, you have to wait until school starts~!"
