"Your Majesty, it is not easy to prove that the earth is like a ball, and it will take a month for the minister to prepare!" Facing Zhu Yuanzhang's inquiry, Li Jie pondered for a moment before answering.

"Your Majesty, this must be his delaying plan!" When Yuan Jian Zheng heard this, he immediately shouted, he originally thought that Li Jie was lying, but now that he heard that Li Jie needed a month to prepare, he also confirmed his conjecture even more.

"I need a month to prepare, if Supervisor Yuan is not at ease, you can go to the Ordnance Bureau to supervise at any time!" Li Jie sneered and replied, with the heart of a villain, he has finally experienced it himself.

"Okay, a month from now, the two of you will still be here, and then we will see who wins and who loses this bet!" Zhu Yuanzhang agreed very happily.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Li Jie saluted again, and then said goodbye to Zhu Yuanzhang and left, although a month seems to be not a short time, he has too many things to do, so he must hurry up, it is estimated that he will be soaked in the Ordnance Bureau this month.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't keep it anymore, and directly let Li Jie leave the Warm Pavilion, but when he just came out of the Warm Pavilion, he didn't expect Zhu Biao to catch up with him out of breath and ask: "Li Jie, are you really confident that you can prove that the earth is like a ball in a month?" ”

"Your Highness don't worry, in a month, I will not only prove this problem, but also make the entire capital shocked by me!" Li Jie replied with a smile.

Looking at Li Jie's confident expression, Zhu Biao was a little more confident for a while, which made him quickly nod and said: "Okay, if you need anything, you can come to me, and I will provide you with the greatest convenience!" ”

"Your Highness!" Li Jie thanked him again, and then left the imperial city.

Early the next morning, Li Jie hadn't gotten up yet, but he saw Liu Yi rushing into his bedroom with a panicked face and shouting, "Cousin, you won't really make that bet with Yuan Jian of Qin Tianjian, right?" ”

"Cousin, you found out so quickly?" Li Jie was startled at first, then stretched and sat up.

"You're still asleep? Do you know that this matter has spread all over the capital, and now countless people know that you, a boy who is not capable of doing anything, are going to challenge the entire Qin Heavenly Prison! Liu Yi couldn't help but be angry when he saw Li Jie's slow look.

"I just made a bet with Yuan Jianzheng, not to challenge the entire Qin Tianjian, are the rumors in the capital so irresponsible now?" Li Jie said with a helpless smile at the end.

"My cousin, you're still laughing? That Yuan Jian Zheng is not easy to mess with, it is said that he is a descendant of Yuan Tiangang, he has studied astronomy and geography since he was a child, and he became the supervisor of Qin Tianjian in his thirties, it is said that he has a lot of influence in the entire Daomen, and now that you have offended him, I am afraid that many people are waiting to see your jokes! Liu Yi said eagerly again.

"It's okay, I'm just a penniless little person, even if I lose to Yuan Daxuanzheng, what can I do?" Li Jie smiled indifferently, not that he didn't want to explain, but it was too complicated to explain, and Liu Yi might not be able to understand it, so he simply didn't explain, and he would naturally know in the future.

"How can it be so easy, now the capital is spreading, what do you use to confuse Your Majesty and the Prince, after being recognized by Yuan Jianzheng, and using bets to delay time, it is said that many imperial histories have prepared a twist, saying that they want to impeach you!" Liu Yi's face turned red in the end, if Li Jie was targeted by the imperial history, it would be troublesome, don't look at the Ming Dynasty's imperial history grade is not high, but these people have the right to supervise, and the officials who are targeted by them will definitely not end well.

"Yi'er, what did you say about Yushi, what happened?" At this moment, I saw Mrs. Li walking in quickly, and she had heard something like Yushi outside the door just now, which also made her worried.

"Mother doesn't have to worry, it's just that I made a bet with someone else." Li Jie explained with a smile.

"Don't fool me, Yi'er, what happened?" Mrs. Li didn't believe Li Jie's words at all, and immediately asked Liu Yi.

Liu Yi didn't dare to lie to his aunt, so he could only tell the story of the bet between Li Jie and Yuan Jian in front of Zhu Yuanzhang yesterday, this matter has been spread by well-intentioned people, and now it has been all over the city, and Li Jie's life experience has also been picked up, plus he broke with Li Shanchang before, and spread the good song, which has attracted the attention of many good people, all in all, Li Jie is famous!

Mrs. Li's face turned pale with fright after hearing this, and she immediately covered her chest and asked Li Jie, "Jie'er, is what your cousin said true?" ”

"Mother, you don't have to worry, it's just a bet, and I already have a way to win, wait until a month later, you will wait for me to become famous in the capital!" Li Jie didn't dare to fool his mother, so he had to tell the truth.

"Whew~! It's good if you have faith, and believe in you for your mother! Mrs. Li breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, as a mother, she believed in Li Jie almost unconditionally, and of course, the most important thing was that Li Jie's recent performance also made her impressed as a mother.

"I knew my mother would support me!" Li Jie also smiled when he heard this, and then he picked up the thick stack of drafts on the table and said again, "Mother, I am going to the Ordnance Bureau now, so I won't eat at home, and I may live there tonight, you can rest early, you don't have to wait for me!" ”

After Li Jie finished speaking, he went out with the drafts, which he drew overnight last night, so he stayed up until the second half of the night before going to sleep, otherwise he would have gotten up early today.

Watching Li Jie go out, Liu Yi also immediately followed, he also wanted to know how Li Jie was going to prove that the earth was like a ball, but he also knew that Li Jie's mouth was too strict, and he would definitely not be able to ask anything, so it was better to follow him to the Weapons Bureau to see what he was doing!

However, to Liu Yi's disappointment, when he followed Li Jie to the Ordnance Bureau, he found that Li Jie had just instructed the craftsmen to prepare all kinds of materials, and then began to make some utensils, which he had never seen at all, let alone guessed their use.

Liu Yi didn't give up at first, and followed Li Jie for a few days, but he was really not interested in building things, so he finally gave up after a few days.

It was also during this period of time that the bet between Li Jie and Yuan Jian Zheng became more and more fierce, and all kinds of rumors were noisy, saying everything, but one thing has not changed, that is, many people do not believe that the earth under their feet is a ball, because this is contrary to the cognition of many people, so most people are very unoptimistic about Li Jie, and some people even regard Li Jie as a grandiose clown.
