The officials of the household department quickly found Li Jie to hand over, and Li Jie also called Gu Xuewen and others again, and then the two sides sat down to discuss a detailed funding plan, and the officials of the household department were also quite cooperative, so it didn't take much time at all, and Li Jie didn't need to participate in the rest of the things.

Early this morning, Liu Yi came to Li Jie's house with his servants to help Li Jie pack up his things and prepare to move, in fact, there was nothing to clean up, this small courtyard was originally a temporary residence, except for some clothes that he carried, other things did not need to be taken away.

After packing his things and putting them in the car, Li Jie asked Liu Yi's servants to pull the things to his new home, and he and Liu Yi went out in the car, then bought some gifts on the street, and finally took the car to a mansion in the west of the imperial city, where a plaque hung on the door of the mansion, on which were written "Xiping Marquis Mansion".

This is Mu Ying's mansion in the capital, but Mu Ying is not in the capital all the year round, and she returned to Yunnan after the last time, so usually only Mu Sheng lives here.

Li Jie got out of the car to send the name card, and was soon invited to the living room, the two just sat down for a while, and saw Mu Sheng come to the living room excitedly, and saw Li Jie and said very happily: "Brother Li, you are a rare guest, how can you have time to come to me today?" ”

"I heard that Brother Mu is about to ascend, of course I want to come to congratulate you!" Li Jie also replied with a smile, and then stretched out his hand and pointed at Liu Yi next to him and introduced, "This is my cousin Liu Yi!" ”

Liu Yi also stepped forward to salute Mu Sheng at this time, and Mu Sheng immediately guessed Li Jie's intention, because he had the list of the Iron Book Army in his hand, and Liu Yi's name was also on the list.

"Brother Li is too polite, you can let people know about the trivial things, where do you need to run in person!" Mu Sheng immediately smiled and said.

"My cousin's business is just one of them, and I've been too busy lately, and now I finally have some free time, and I want to have a drink with Brother Mu." Li Jie smiled again, he could only show his sincerity by coming to the door in person, after all, he still admired Mu Sheng very much.

Hearing that Li Jie was going to drink with himself, Mu Sheng was also even more happy, but at this time he also thought of something, so he excitedly grabbed Li Jie's arm and said, "Brother Li, you came just in time, I'll take you and Brother Liu to see something!" ”

Mu Sheng said and pulled Li Jie away, Liu Yi had to follow, and the three of them came to a study in the inner house, and when they entered the study, Li Jie and Liu Yi were startled, because this study was too messy, the ground was full of waste paper, and the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone on the table were also piled up in a mess, like a thief.

However, Mu Sheng seemed to be accustomed to it, pulled Li Jie to the table, and excitedly pointed to the picture on the table and said, "Brother Li, please look, how is the planning of this military camp?" ”

"Barracks?" Li Jie also looked at this map curiously, and sure enough, he found that this was the planning map of a military camp, which made him immediately react and said, "Could it be that this is the location of the Iron Book Army?" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty assigned a military camp outside the city to the Iron Book Army, but I am not very satisfied with the layout of this military camp, so I want to replan it." Mu Sheng also said again with great interest.

Hearing that this was the location of the Iron Book Army, Li Jie and Liu Yi both looked at this map curiously, and found that there were many alterations on this map, and the residence, school field, canteen, etc. in the camp were also planned in a very orderly manner, and it seemed that Mu Sheng should have spent a lot of effort.

"In addition to the military camp, I have also summarized a set of drill methods, Brother Li, you can also help me take a look!" At this time, Mu Sheng picked up a stack of manuscripts on the desk and handed them to Li Jiedao. At this time, Li Jie realized that Mu Sheng's eyes were a little bloodshot, and it was estimated that he had spent a lot of energy for the Iron Book Army.

The manuscript is a complete set of military training methods, and they are all written by Mu Sheng one by one, in addition, Li Jie also found that there are still a lot of messy military books on the bookcase, it seems that Mu Sheng has also read a lot of books in order to write this set of training methods.

"Brother Mu, you really spent a lot of energy on the Iron Book Army!" Li Jie took a look at this manuscript of military training, although he didn't understand military training, but he believed in Mu Sheng's ability, after all, he had seen Mu Sheng's previous training, and even Mu Ying, a veteran of the battlefield, was full of praise for Mu Sheng.

"What Your Majesty personally explained to me, I don't dare to slack off in the slightest!" Mu Sheng said again, he is an ambitious person, for him, the Iron Book Army is an opportunity to show himself, if he can train the Iron Book Army, not only his father will pay more attention to him, but even His Majesty will look at him differently.

However, Li Jie shook his head slightly at this time, hesitated for a moment and finally spoke: "Brother Mu, the Iron Book Army is composed of princes and princes, these people are not very peaceful, Your Majesty established the Iron Book Army, and it is not really to ask them to go to the battlefield, I am worried that you have spent a lot of effort, but in the end, it is half the effort?" ”

The Iron Book Army was originally a hostage mortgaged by the prince to Lao Zhu, with Li Jie's understanding of Lao Zhu, he would definitely not care about the quality of the Iron Book Army, as long as these sons could stay in the capital, although Mu Sheng spent a lot of effort on training, but there was no support from Lao Zhu at the top, and the group of princes below was not easy to mess with, so Mu Sheng's hard work might be in vain.

"Thank you Brother Li for the reminder!" I saw that Mu Sheng took a long breath, and then said with a very firm face, "Of course I know the difficulties of training, but since I plan to do it, I must do it well, even if they are a ball of sand, I will clutch them into a stone!" ”

Liu Yi next to him also felt cold when he heard Mu Sheng's words, he thought that Mu Sheng would be able to take more care of himself by letting his cousin help intercede, but looking at his appearance, he was determined to train them into elite soldiers, and he would probably have to suffer a lot at that time.

Although Li Jie could understand Mu Sheng, he was really not optimistic about the future of the Iron Book Army, but seeing that the other party was so insistent, he couldn't say anything, and just patted the other party's shoulder to show his support.

"By the way, Brother Mu, you are the deputy commander of the Iron Book Army, who is the real commander?" Li Jie suddenly thought of the mysterious commander of the Tie Zhu Army, and even his uncle Liu Ying couldn't find any news, Mu Sheng, as his deputy, should know the identity of the other party.

"I don't know!" Mu Sheng shook his head unexpectedly, and said with a confused expression on his face, "I also asked the imperial grandfather before, but the imperial grandfather said that he hadn't thought about who would be the commander of the Iron Book Army, and just asked me to be in charge of the garrison and military training." ”

"It's strange that even you don't know who your immediate boss is?" Li Jie was also even more curious when he heard this, the candidate for this commander is really mysterious enough, Lao Zhu said that he didn't think about it, could it really not be decided?

"I guess it should be some veteran with high morality, after all, I'm still too young, I'm afraid I can't convince the public on my own." Mu Sheng also opened his mouth to guess at this time, although he is Zhu Yuanzhang's godson, his father Mu Ying is only a Xiping Marquis, much worse than those princes, and he is not a son-in-law, so if he wants to suppress those sons, it may be difficult to ascend to the sky.

"It's possible!" Li Jie also nodded when he heard this, but after thinking about it again, it is not easy to find a veteran with high morality, because this kind of person is either killed by Lao Zhu or driven back to his hometown, and those who stay also need to guard the Quartet, so Li Jie can't think of a suitable candidate after thinking about it.

It was not early, Mu Sheng immediately set up a banquet in the mansion to entertain Li Jie and Liu Yi, but he knew that Li Jie didn't like to drink, so he didn't pour wine into Li Jie, but Liu Yi was drunk by him, and finally Li Jie helped Liu Yi into the carriage, and then said goodbye to Mu Sheng and left.

Li Jie's new home is also in the west of the imperial city, but it is still a little far away from the Xiping Marquis Mansion, after all, Mrs. Li did not have much money in her hands at that time, and she couldn't afford to buy a house close to the imperial city, and even borrowed money from Liu Ying in the end, which barely made up enough money for the house, which shows the high housing prices in Jinling City.

Li Jie had come once before, and he still accompanied Mrs. Li to inspect the house, and at that time, Mrs. Li and Aunt Zhao were still planning the layout of the new home with great interest, but unfortunately Li Shanchang had an accident later, which caused all the plans at home to be disrupted.

The carriage came to Li Jie's new home, only to see that this is a big house with three entrances, but it is still much worse than Li Jie's previous home, when Mrs. Li bought it, because the house was uninhabited for a long time, it also looked a little dilapidated, and now after Liu Ying sent someone to repair, it looks like a new look.

As soon as the carriage was at the door, an old housekeeper immediately stepped forward to salute, Li Jie knew each other, this housekeeper's surname was Liu, he used to be the steward of Liu Ying's house, and now he was also sent to Li Jie's house as a housekeeper, after all, Li Jie was alone, and there must be a competent housekeeper to help take care of the family.

"Young Master, Master Hou has been here a long time ago, and he is waiting for you at home!" Steward Liu stepped forward and saluted.

"Well, my cousin is drunk, you let him rest in the guest room, and I'll go see my uncle!" Li Jie immediately pointed to the carriage and ordered, I have to say that it is convenient to have servants at home, and many things only need to move your mouth.

Steward Liu agreed, and then called two servants to support Liu Yi, while Li Jie stepped into his new home, looking at everything in the house as he walked.

Li Jie saw Liu Ying drinking tea in the living room, and immediately stepped forward to salute, and Liu Ying also asked with a smile: "How is it, are you still satisfied with this new home?" ”

"Of course I am satisfied, Uncle Lao is worried!" Li Jie immediately nodded with a smile, and then told the story of how he and Liu Yi went to visit Mu Sheng.

Knowing that Mu Sheng was going to train the Iron Book Army into an elite army, Liu Ying couldn't help laughing and said: "Mu Ying gave birth to an ambitious son, but that's fine, your cousin's experience in the army will also be good for him in the future!" ”

Liu Ying paused when she said this, and then said: "I will leave Beijing tomorrow, and I will go to Haozhou at that time, do you have anything to tell your father?" ”
