Li Jie was named the Zuo Si Ji of Zhan Shifu, this news did not attract too many people's attention, first, Zuo Si Ji was just a petty official from the ninth grade, which belonged to the lowest grade in terms of grade, even in Zhan Shifu, it was not eye-catching.

In addition, Li Jie himself is not famous, don't look at it optimistically, the song has spread all over the capital, but others only know that this is made by Li Shanchang's unfilial grandson, as for what the name of this grandson is, no one cares, the so-called song celebrity is not popular, it is the situation of Li Jie, but a few people have noticed the news.

Korean government.

Li Qi came to the study of the inner house, hesitated outside the door for a moment, and finally mustered up the courage to knock on the door and said, "Father, the child has something to report!" ”

"Come in!" An old voice came from the study.

Li Qi opened the door and saw his father Li Shanchang standing behind the desk, holding a brush and practicing calligraphy, this is his old habit for decades, even if he is sick, as long as he is not sick and can't get up, he will get up and write a few words.

"What?" Li Shan asked without raising his head.

"This ...... This thing and ...... It has to do with Li Jie. Li Qi hesitated for a moment and finally spoke.

"Mention that little brute to me!" Li Shanchang's arm shook angrily when he heard Li Jie's name, and the words that were almost written in one stroke were also painted into an ink ball, and after the good song spread all over the capital, many people had already laughed at him behind his back for not being able to let go of fame and fortune, and even his grandson couldn't stand it, and Li Shanchang was already angry and wanted to kill Li Jie himself.

"Father is angry, but this matter is very important, I think about it, I still have to report it to my father!" Li Qi knew that his father would be angry, but he still stubbornly said.

"What the hell is going on, is that little beast doing something again?" Although Li Shanchang was angry, he at least retained some reason, and asked with anger at the moment.

"I just received the news, yesterday His Royal Highness the Crown Prince went to see Li Jie, and he also promoted him to be the left secretary of the Zhan Mansion, and today Li Jie has gone to the Zhan Mansion to take office!" Li Qi cautiously reported and quietly looked at his father's face when he spoke.

"What?" Li Shanchang's face finally changed when he heard this, and the anger just now disappeared without a trace, but instead showed a contemplative look.

"According to the information I got, the crown prince was not granted an official position for no reason, but Li Jie was proficient in firearms, and on the first day he went to the Ordnance Bureau, he helped the third brother solve the problems related to firearms, and it is said that he was also involved with the people of the Mu family, which alarmed His Majesty and the prince." Li Qi continued, not many people know about these news, and he only deliberately let people inquire about it after hearing about Li Jie's official position.

"Hmph, just a little Huangkou, what firearms do you know, it's just an excuse, the prince and Li Jie are just tools, what really is that person wants to use this matter to beat the old man!" Li Shanchang snorted coldly, he didn't believe that Li Jie knew firearms at all, but he could see at a glance that Zhu Yuanzhang was beating him behind it.

"What my father said is very true, Li Jie was kicked out of the house by his father, but he was reused by the imperial court, which is simply obvious." Li Qi also nodded, then hesitated again and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Father, the attitude of the imperial court has been very clear, I think you should also consider leaving the capital as a place of right and wrong?" ”

The same words were said by different people, and the effect was completely different, but I saw that Li Shanchang did not jump like thunder this time like last time, but his expression was more solemn.

Li Qi didn't dare to come out at this time, although he was Li Shanchang's favorite son, but in front of this stern father, he also had to be cautious, he also mustered up the courage to say what he said just now, if he didn't feel that the matter was serious, he wouldn't dare to say a word if he was killed.

"You step down first, I'm going to think about it!" I saw Li Shanchang waving his hand weakly, he seemed to be very tired, and the whole person seemed to have aged a lot all of a sudden.

"Leave the child!" Li Qi also retreated as if he had been amnestied, and after he went out, he sighed, hoping that this matter would make his father think carefully about the current situation!

At the same time, Li Jie came to Zhan Shifu to take office, and a special person took him to receive official uniforms, official seals and other things, and also explained to him the duties of the counselor.

The name of the official position sounds quite bluffing, after all, it belongs to a kind of counselor, but in fact, the grade of the counselor is often not high, and the official is not a permanent official position, it is generally just a name, but there are other official duties, such as Li Jie, who is mainly responsible for the creation of the flintlock pistol.

After getting acquainted with Zhan Shifu, Li Jie immediately rushed to the Ordnance Bureau non-stop, although Zhan Shifu also had his official room, but he just went to take a look, and he should be busy in the Ordnance Bureau for the next period of time.

However, Li Jie is not alone, he is accompanied by two scribes, these two scribes are also assigned to work under him by Zhan Shifu, the older one is surnamed Zhou, and the younger one is surnamed Xu, both of them are shrewd and capable, which shows that Zhu Biao still attaches great importance to Li Jie.

As soon as they came to the Ordnance Bureau, before Li Jie and the others entered, they heard the shouting and killing sound of the garrison outside, and from time to time there was the angry scolding of the generals, which made Li Jie also take a slight look, it seems that yesterday's words are still effective, Mu Sheng has already held back his strength and wants to behave well in his father.

In the next few days, Li Jie has been developing flintlock pistols in the Ordnance Bureau, he has the appointment of the prince, and Li Zhu's son, plus they can also learn a lot of things with Li Jie, so these craftsmen are also very hard-working, so that the development of flintlock pistols has hardly encountered any difficulties, and now they have begun to build the first flintlock pistol, of course, it is experimental in nature, and it will be modified when encountering problems.

In the past few days, the situation in Li Jie's family has also begun to improve, especially when Liu Ying also visited their family in person, and brought a lot of daily necessities and belongings, and even left two maids for Mrs. Li to serve, if it wasn't for Mrs. Li's unwillingness, Liu Ying would have brought their family back to live in the house a long time ago.

That afternoon, Li Jie, as usual, accompanied his father to get off work, and bought Di'er the snacks she liked to eat on the way, but when they returned home, they were surprised to find that Di'er, who used to sit at the door every day and wait for them to come back, was not there, which made Li Jie a little strange.

When Li Jie's father and son stepped into the house, they saw Di'er sitting obediently behind the small table in the living room, practicing calligraphy under the guidance of Aunt Zhao.

But before Li Jie could react, he only felt a pain in his ears, and then he heard Mrs. Li's annoyed voice say, "You kid is so bold!" ”
