"No, I promise I won't directly target your Ministry of Revenue. Old Bi, you're meddling too much.
The Ministry of Revenue is a financial issue. I'm cooperating with the Ministry of Works. Do I need to care about your Ministry of Finance?
What does your Ministry of Finance care about? I haven't even produced anything yet you want to interfere. Old Wei, won't you consider it? "
Li Yi pretended not to understand what was going on and retorted back.
Can the Ministry of Finance and the National Development and Reform Commission directly interfere with the work of the Working Committee? Of course, if you were to interfere as the Prime Minister, that would be a different matter.
Right now you're speaking as the Minister of Revenue. Why don't you change your identity?
If you change your identity, I'll change my words.
"Old Wei, we can't let this kid drive a wedge between us. We're the ones working together."
Bi Goo went to talk to Wei Zhigu. He looked like he was whispering, but his voice was very loud.
Song Jing couldn't stand it anymore. "Long Ze didn't say anything. Why do you have to be like this?"
Bi Goo angrily returned and didn't say anything.
He had been targeting Li Yi to shut Song Jing and Su Yi's mouths. The two hadn't said anything yet, but he was already talking nonsense.
It looked like he was going to find trouble with Li Yi and was determined to see it through.
In reality, he wanted Li Yi to give a reasonable explanation. That would be enough.
But Li Yi didn't give it. He was so stubborn.
Who was he showing it to? Bi Goo's teeth don't hurt anymore? On one hand, you want to get money from Li Yi, and on the other hand, you protect Li Yi. Li Yi only serves you, right?
If it was Li Yi, what he said at the time would be that everyone was a thousand-year-old fox. No one should talk about strange stories.
Li Yi laughed and turned to ask Cui Liu, "How do you sing this song?"
Cui Liu hesitated for less than a breath and immediately sang, "The waves run, the waves flow, the river flows for thousands of li, the river never stops …"
It was this perception, this reaction, this cooperation, and this tacit understanding.
This was because there were no ready-made instruments. Otherwise, the band for this song would have been formed by other palace maids and eunuchs, and they would definitely not be late by two seconds.
"If even half of the people in my Political Affairs Hall can do that, I'll be satisfied."
Envious and jealous, but not hateful. He didn't hate anyone.
"I'll give each of you two cosmetic boxes later. Is there anyone who feels that I shouldn't do this?" Li Yi was in a good mood, so he decided to give the palace maids and eunuchs some benefits.
"No!" The eight palace maids and eunuchs shouted in unison.
They already had their own makeup boxes. The new ones could be given to Empress Wang, and then Empress Wang could give them to the other concubines and talented people.
Empress Wang would give them money, and they would send it home. Their families lived in the same neighborhood.
If they didn't want to give it to their families, they would keep it for themselves. This was especially so for the palace maids. They were all willing to save money so that they could leave the palace and get married in the future.
Eunuchs were different. Eunuchs hoped that their brothers would have more children so that they could adopt one of them.
If some eunuchs had brothers, they would even marry a wife. Then, in name, she would be their wife. After she gave birth to a child for their brother, the child would be theirs.
There were even people who borrowed children, let alone eunuchs.
What was more interesting was that if eunuchs had their own sons, they would take better care of them.
Eunuchs treated their wives and borrowed children better than many men who had their own wives and sons.
"Xiao Yi, that cosmetic box …" Bi Goo was also tempted. He had one at home, and he gave it to his wife.
However, he also had two younger sisters who were married. They were much younger than him, and he raised them as his daughters.
They weren't born from the same mother. They had the same father but different mothers.
In history, his parents had died, including his stepmother, leaving behind two younger sisters.
Bi Goo also had a younger brother who had the same father and mother.
However, this younger brother wasn't very useful. He was the one who raised his two younger sisters.
Then, regardless of whether it was his upbringing or the court, his descendants once again defended the city against the enemy. In the end, the city slope perished.
This kind of person couldn't be blamed from any angle.
He had done what he needed to do. His descendants also did it at the cost of their lives.
Now, he was thinking of his two younger sisters and wanted some benefits.
If others wanted to give him benefits, he wouldn't want it. He would ask Li Yi for it.
He knew that if others gave him benefits, they must have a request. He wouldn't agree.
If it was Li Yi, it would be a waste if he didn't want it. After taking the benefits, he would go back and find trouble with Li Yi. He wouldn't feel guilty at all.
"Wait until we return to Zhuangzi. There aren't any on Mount Li. Don't sell it. Whoever sells it will have none in the future." Li Yi promised to give everyone a cosmetic box. It was extra.
Bi Goo had two for his two younger sisters.
Bi Goo wasn't young anymore, but his younger sisters were still very young.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have raised his two younger half-sisters as his daughters. There was a big age gap.
Some people could even abandon their wives and children when they became officials.
Bi Goo became an official and took good care of his stepmother's children. His character was a hundred times better than Song Jing.
Others didn't know, but Li Yi knew. He had always looked down on Song Jing, unless Song Jing slowly changed while he was around.
Now that they had finished bathing, two of the four people who ate the spicy hotpot together had died in history.
However, because of Li Yi's appearance, the two of them were eating the spicy hotpot and sipping the brewed white wine. It was very comfortable.
As they ate, Song Jing thought of a very important matter. "It's just a day off. I have two things to do. I'm addicted to shooting. Are you coming back tomorrow?"
He was very calm. He didn't say that they were delaying things.
He didn't dare to play and delay time. When others were playing, he would blame them and shirk responsibility.
Who was sitting here that allowed him to shirk responsibility? Moreover, if he lied, the Emperor would come to Zhuangzi. Would Li Yi cover up for him?
Wouldn't that be a dream? Would Li Yi compromise with others?
"One more day. Today, in order to feel the impact of the new weapons, you paid a huge price. Your bodies suffered injuries that even martial artists couldn't bear.
As scholars, you carried the support of martial artists. You didn't care about hard work and were brave … "
"Xiao Yi, we're all on the same side. Don't say anymore. We don't have to go to work tomorrow. Help us arrange it. We're tired from shooting."
Bi Goo interrupted Li Yi. Do we still need to be so hypocritical?
The few of us did shoot at each other, and we know what happened.
If we don't go to the Political Affairs Hall for one more day, the Political Affairs Hall can't operate? Say something!
"What's there to say? In a while, I'll get someone to send one smoked chicken to each person. Those with high positions will get two. Those with higher positions will get a big watermelon. This is the last batch."
Can't Li Yi do this well? Give them something.
The other officials in the Political Affairs Hall took the things and promised to work hard. They didn't have to give face to others, but the Li Family Zhuangzi should at least be rewarded, right?
"Oh, so many Prime Ministers and the Minister of Works are here." Li Yi had just comforted the four people when Li Longji's family of three arrived.
No, it was a family of four. Princess Yongmu also came, followed by Princess Yongmu's guards and her personal maid Xiao Lan.
"So it's Li San Lang. This old man greets you." Bi Goo stood up and cupped his hands.
"Well said, well said. You've worked hard, Bi Zaifu." Before the others could react, the little guy also cupped his hands and said in a childish voice.
After he finished speaking, he looked at Li Yi, then opened his arms and ran over. Li Yi picked him up. The two looked at each other and smiled foolishly.
Bi Goo looked at the other three people and bowed to the little guy.
He was happy. Look, you're not as good as this old man. The little guy said that you've worked hard and only left this old man alone. This old man will guard this position and not leave any personal feelings.
