Chapter 32 Beating

Li Jie was named Zuo Sijian of the Zhanshi Mansion. This news did not attract much attention. First of all, Zuo Sijian was just a small official of the ninth rank. He was the lowest in terms of rank, and even in the Zhanshi Mansion, it was not very prominent.

In addition, Li Jie himself has no fame. Don’t be optimistic that the song has spread throughout the capital, but others only know that it was written by Li Shanchang’s unfilial grandson. As for the name of this grandson, no one cares about it. The so-called song is popular but not popular, which is the case of Li Jie, but a few people have noticed this news.

Korean Duke Mansion.

The prince-in-law Li Qi came to the study room of the inner house, hesitated outside the door for a moment, and finally plucked up the courage to knock on the door: "Father, I have something to report!"

"Come in!" A somewhat old voice came from the study.

Li Qi opened the door and saw his father, Li Shanchang, standing behind the desk, holding a brush in his hand and practicing calligraphy. This was his old habit for decades. Even if he was sick, as long as he was not sick, he would get up and write a few words.

"What's the matter?" Li Shanchang asked without raising his head.

"This...this matter is related to...Li Jie." Li Qi hesitated for a moment and finally spoke.

"Although I mentioned that little beast to me!" Li Shanchang was so angry that his arms trembled when he heard Li Jie's name. The words that he had finished writing were just one stroke were painted into an ink ball. After the song spread throughout the capital, many people had laughed at him behind his back for being unable to let go of fame and fortune, and even his grandson could not bear it. Li Shanchang was so angry that he wanted to kill Li Jie himself.

"Don't calm down, but this matter is of great importance. After thinking about it, I still have to report it to my father!" Li Qi knew that his father would be angry, but he still said with a thorn in his mouth.

"What the hell is it? Did that little beast do something again?" Although Li Shanchang was angry, he at least kept a little rationality. He immediately suppressed his anger and asked.

"I just received the news that the Crown Prince went to see Li Jie yesterday, and he promoted him to the Left Secretary of the Zhanshu Mansion. Today, Li Jie has already taken office in the Zhanshu Mansion!" Li Qi reported carefully, and was quietly looking at his father's face when he spoke.

"What?" Li Shanchang's face finally changed when he heard this. The anger he had just disappeared without a trace, and instead showed a meditative look.

"According to the news that the prince did not grant official positions for no reason, but Li Jie was proficient in firearms. On the first day of going to the Military Weapons Bureau, he helped the third brother solve the problems related to firearms. It is said that he was also related to the people of the Mu family, which alarmed His Majesty and the Prince." Li Qi continued, not many people knew about these news. He was only specifically asked for information after hearing that Li Jie was granted official position.

"Hmph, a little boy with Huangkou knows all kinds of firearms, but it's just excuses. Prince and Li Jie are just tools. The real person wants to use this to hit me!" Li Shanchang snorted coldly. He didn't believe that Li Jie knew about firearms, but he could tell at a glance that Zhu Yuanzhang was hitting him behind it.

"What my father said is very much. Li Jie was driven out of the house by his father but was valued by the court. This is simply obvious." Li Qi nodded, then hesitated for a while and finally gritted his teeth, "Father, the court's attitude is very clear. I think you should also consider leaving the right and wrong place of the capital?"

The same words were said by different people, and the effect was completely different. I saw that Li Shanchang was not as furious as last time, but his expression was even more solemn.

Li Qi was also very arrogant at this time. Although he was Li Shanchang's favorite son, he had to be cautious in front of this strict father. He also had to be brave enough to say something that had just said. If he hadn't felt that the matter was serious, he wouldn't have dared to say anything more.

"You retreat first, I need to think about it!" Li Shanchang waved his hand weakly, as if he seemed very tired, and his whole body seemed to have grown a lot aged suddenly.

"Boy took his leave!" Li Qi also retreated as if he was amnesty. After leaving the house, he breathed a sigh of relief. I hope this matter could make my father carefully consider the current situation!

At the same time, Li Jie came to Zhan Shi's Mansion to take office. A special person took him to get official uniforms, official seals and other things, and also explained to him the responsibilities of the Si Jian.

The name of the official position of the Si Jian sounds quite intimidating. After all, it is a type of the censor. However, the rank of the censor is often not high. Moreover, the Si Jian is not a permanent official position. It usually only has a name, but there are other businessmen. For example, Li Jie is like this, and he is mainly responsible for the creation of the flintlock rifle.

After getting familiar with the Zhan Shi Mansion, Li Jie immediately rushed to the Military Weapon Bureau. Although there was his office in the Zhan Shi Mansion, he just went to take a look and for the next period of time, he should have been busy in the Military Weapon Bureau.

However, Li Jie was not alone. He was accompanied by two clerks. These two clerks were also assigned to him by the Zhan Shifu. The older one with the surname Zhou and the younger one with the surname Xu, both of them were shrewd and capable. This shows that Zhu Biao still attached great importance to Li Jie.

As soon as he arrived at the Military Weapon Bureau, before Li Jie and the others could enter, he heard the shouts of killing on the school grounds of the garrison outside, and the angry scolding of the generals came from time to time. This made Li Jie take a look. It seemed that yesterday's words were effective. Mu Sheng was already full of energy and wanted to perform well in his father.

In the next few days, Li Jie had been developing flintlock rifles in the Military Weapon Bureau. He was appointed by the prince and was Li Zhu's son. In addition, they could learn a lot with Li Jie, so these craftsmen worked very hard, which made the development of flintlock rifles almost not difficult. Now they have begun to build the first flintlock rifle, of course, of course, they are experimental and modified if they encounter problems.

The situation at Li Jie's family has also begun to improve in the past few days, especially when Liu Ying also visited their family in person and brought a lot of daily necessities and property. She even left two maids to serve Mrs. Li. If Mrs. Li had not been unwilling, Liu Ying would have brought their family back to the mansion to live.

That afternoon, Li Jie accompanied her father to work with her father, and bought Di'er the snacks she liked on the way. However, when they returned home, they unexpectedly discovered that Di'er, who used to sit at the door and wait for them to come back every day, was not there, which made Li Jie a little strange.

When Li Jie and his son stepped into the house, they saw Di'er sitting obediently behind the small table in the living room, practicing calligraphy under Aunt Zhao's guidance. When she saw Li Jie, she kept winking at him.
