When Li Yi returned to the meeting hall, He Shoujie came to report, saying that in the morning, Mr. Zheng Gu, Yang Zantu, and Cui Jiruo came to resign, preparing to leave for the capital early tomorrow morning, planning to reunite with their families before the year. It's just that the big marshal hasn't come back yet, so they have to return to the post house temporarily. He also said that he would leave early tomorrow morning and would not come over to say goodbye.

When Li Yi heard this, he knew that Zheng Gu and the others were ready to go home, even if they kept it again and again, it would probably be useless. What's more, their promise to teach for the Yunnan Political and Economic Hall for one year has been fulfilled, and there is no better reason for them to stay.

However, they have devoted themselves to teaching in Yunnan for a year, and have paid countless efforts and true feelings, and under the influence of their upright personality and profound knowledge, countless young people in Yunnan will surely benefit greatly from this, but this friendship is not easy to repay.

Li Yi instructed He Shoujie to immediately raise all kinds of Yunnan specialties for the three gentlemen, hire a spacious carriage for them, prepare food on the road, and then send Lin Chi with a cavalry escort of twenty people to send them all the way to the capital.

And the most important thing is that in the past year, the three gentlemen have refused to accept the salary they deserve, saying that it is already very troublesome for the government to eat and live in the post house for free, which makes Li Yi really unhappy.

Therefore, Li Yi asked He Shoujie to give each person 200 taels of silver in the name of distributing bundles from the Yunnan Political and Economic Hall, and they had to accept them anyway, so as to show their hard work in Yunnan over the past year.

Early the next morning, Li Yi stood in front of the Xuanfu Embassy and waited, because if Zheng Gu and they went to the capital from the east of the post house, they would inevitably pass in front of the Xuanfu Embassy, so Li Yi only waited for a short time, and a Wupeng carriage, surrounded by twenty guards, soon came to Li Yi.

Seeing Li Yi himself walking forward, the carriage stopped, and Zheng Gu, Yang Zantu, and Cui Jiruo hurriedly got off the car and hurriedly came to Li Yi to salute.

Li Yi's face was full of affection, and he hurriedly replied: "Gentlemen, you have returned to Beijing, Li Yi is late, and I hope to forgive your sins." ”

Yang Zantu preemptively said: "The handsome and high-spirited, Corporal Lixian, really makes me admire." We only did our best, but we were given clothes and silver by the marshal, chariots and horses, and sergeants to escort us, which really tormented us. ”

Li Yi smiled slightly and said: "You great sages are people that Li Yi admires very much, and they have long intended to ask for advice at four times, but they have been unable to fulfill their wishes. I didn't expect you to come to Yunnan and teach the sages and sages the articles and teach the children of Yunnan earnestly. It's just that the mountains are high and the road is far away, and there will be a day of parting, but the love is thousands of miles, and Li Yi Yongzhi dare not forget it. ”

Zheng Gu's white beard fluttered, and he said sincerely: "The handsome man is a man of temperament, so sincere, how can I be embarrassed by the rough feelings of others!" ”

Cui Jiruo took a step forward, but sighed gloomily and said: "Cui Mouxiang has been figuring out the affairs of officialdom with a partial and narrow heart, but he didn't expect that there would be such a handsome person as he was open-minded and generous to others, which made him really embarrassed. I'm waiting to go, I don't know when I can see it, which really makes Cui sentimental, alas! With this farewell, it is difficult for Cui to see the face of the handsome, and after a long time, it will inevitably be the same gray and rotten wood! ”

Before Li Yi could say anything, he suddenly saw a wide Wupeng carriage galloping on the street to the east. When he got closer, he stopped abruptly, jumped out of the carriage, and walked towards everyone with a smile.

Li Yi couldn't help but laugh dumbly, this Lin Jin is really dedicated, it only took half a day to modify the carriage, listening to the sound of the carriage running, and seeing Lin Jin's confident and sunny smile, he knew that this modification was quite successful.

Lin Jin came to the front and greeted Li Yi, Zheng Gu and others, and then said with a smile: "The whimsical ideas of the handsome man really make the lower officials admire. Yesterday I spent half a day and a night on the carriage being completely modified. ”

"Huh! Although the axle was still made of oak wood, and it was not yet possible to make it with ironwood, the effect of adding such a thing as cotton wood to the joints was really amazing, and I tried to turn around the city, and it was almost flawless. ”

Li Yi explained it to Zheng Gu and the others with a smile, and then they circled the carriage together. Li Yi saw that the wheels, beams, axles, and hubs of this carriage were all added with mats made of cottonwood, and even the junction between the carriage and the frame was padded with four pieces of cottonwood.

Lin Jin introduced: "After I went back yesterday, I repeatedly studied the texture and characteristics of the cottonwood, considered the different parts of the carriage under heavy pressure, made them into different thickness of support pads or axle sleeves, after disassembly and careful installation, I went to the street early this morning to test, sure enough, it is lighter and more convenient than the previous carriage, judging from the sound, the pressure on the axle is greatly reduced." ”

When everyone heard this, they all gathered around the carriage to taste it, and couldn't help but be amazed.

Li Yi smiled happily, turned to Zheng Gu and said, "It's a long way to go to the capital, and I'm afraid that the ordinary carriage will be much more difficult on the road." I see that the carriage modified by Lin Jin looks pretty good, so gentlemen will be the pioneers and go back in this carriage, maybe it will be much smoother and more comfortable! ”

Yang Zantu smiled and said: "Then how embarrassing, the handsome man prepared for us so properly, but how can we repay it?" ”

Cui Jiruo said with a smile: "The deep friendship of the handsome, you can't repay it in this life, so you just stay in Yunnan for the rest of your life and teach your talents to the children of Yunnan, so that the friendship of the handsome will be in vain!" ”

Yang Zantu didn't say anything, but Zheng Gu said with a smile on his face: "We know best what the handsome person is, if you don't accept it, it won't be beautiful." Then let's enjoy it once, take this novel carriage back to the capital, and it can be regarded as a test for Lin Gongzi's wonderful design! Hehe! ”

Everyone smiled knowingly, and immediately moved their luggage and other belongings to the new carriage, and the three of them could not say goodbye, so they had to sit down. The other carriage was not idle, it was full of gifts of Yunnan souvenirs and food on the road, as well as the application of twenty cavalrymen such as Lin Chi who accompanied the escort.

And Lin Jin was not idle, he quickly found an experienced driver who drove all the year round, promised a heavy reward, and gave him some earnest advice.

Li Yize, Lin Jin, Lian Jun and others sent them to the west bank of the Panjiang Shengjing Bridge, and then waved goodbye.
