Li Jie was not stupid. When he entered the guard camp and saw Wang Zhongzheng who had changed his clothes, he already understood that he had really been hit by a pie yesterday.
While strolling along Caihe River, I actually met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince by chance.
At this time, even if he were asked to hand over his life to the prince, he would not hesitate.
What is this? It's not just a gift of acquaintance, it's like reincarnation. From now on, Li Jie can live a straight life in the Li family in Guancheng.
No matter what the errand, Li Jie vowed to do it to the satisfaction of His Royal Highness.
"Mr. Li, Your Majesty has ordered you to take a look at the drawings first, and then prepare a report and submit it. Your official is a senior official, and he is assigned as a military commander..."
Wang Zhongzheng was chatting with Li Jie. He could tell that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince seemed to value Li Jie very much, and he went to the officials overnight to ask for an official position for him.
Wang Zhongzheng doesn't mind saying a few words to those whom His Highness the Crown Prince values.
No, he also handed Li Jie his official uniform and edict with both hands.
Be steady! Really steady!
Li Jie had already guessed it, but when he took over the official uniform, he still couldn't help but tremble a little.
This has been his father's wish and his own dream since he was sensible. Especially after a scientific examination, he knew that it was not easy to win an official position in the country.
Just because Dad, maybe when he is dying, he will have a quota for yinbu, but it will also be cancelled, just like the Qingli New Year.
Therefore, the official uniform in my hand at this time really feels like it weighs a thousand pounds.
Now, I can be considered an official...
Wang Zhongzheng had seen this scene before, so he left without disturbing Li Jie's intoxication. Speaking of which, he had to return to the palace to serve His Highness. It was not a rare sight for anyone who had time to watch.
Zhao Xi has not been idle these two days. The address of the new weapons supervisor has been decided. He has to make a plan for the new weapons supervisor based on the terrain.
You have to find time to do this. The original listening and studying of the government affairs did not stop. From time to time, Fu Bi and Wen Yanbo, including Zeng Gongliang, Han Jiang, Lu Gongbi, and even Ouyang Xiu would give lectures to themselves.
The Xianggong did not have the additional responsibilities of His Highness the Crown Prince, so he allowed His Highness to grow up freely. Even if he had already performed well during the Southern Expedition, he was still the Prince and had to be taught by the Xianggongs.
Without Pang Ji, no one would recommend themselves to be the prince's tutor, so we might as well take turns or educate the prince together.
Zhao Xi knew that this should be a close encounter between the husband and wife, so that he could better understand his thinking.
Zhao Xi had a clear idea of what should be said, what could be said, to whom, more should be said and less should be said. He also liked this, having the opportunity to tell them some of his ideas implicitly and by insinuation.
Harmony between the king and his ministers is the greatest blessing for a country.
It took about four or five days before Zhao Xi completed the plan for the new weapons inspection. In fact, it was just a prototype. Anyway, he had never seen anyone doing it in the world, so he was the standard.
Only then did I have time to go to the guard camp to see how Li Jie was doing.
It scared Zhao Xi. They hadn't seen each other for a few days, and Li Jie, who originally seemed quite suave, had become like this.
"Why is this?"
Zhao Xi looked at Li Jie, his face was not rosy at all, his cheeks were sunken, his eyes were all red, his hair was messy... He didn't look like a young man at all.
Zhao Xi was looking at Li Jie, but asking questions about Lu Gongzhu and others.
He didn't want family origin to be discussed in the guard camp. Although this was unavoidable, such an obvious practice must not be allowed in the guard camp.
Besides, Zhao Xi thinks this Li Jie is of great use.
"Your Highness, General Li has hardly had any rest for the past five days. He refused to listen and told His Highness the Crown Prince that the transformation of the Ordnance Supervisor was important and that it was a major matter. That's what happened. He even dragged Zirong along. Only then did Zirong go to sleep.
soon."
This... Zhao Xi didn't know what to say for a moment.
The feeling that the imperial dynasty has given him has always been to get by. Even if there are courtiers who serve the country and the people, it is based on the nourishment of the past. He never thought that he could meet such a person.
After Li Jie calmed down and saw the diagram made by His Highness the Prince, he already understood the entire operation of His Highness the Prince.
This is to prepare for the renovation of the old ordnance supervisor, so as to obtain the money and food for the new ordnance supervisor.
From his father, he already knew the situation of His Highness the Crown Prince. He knew it was urgent, so he was also urgent.
I worked day and night according to His Highness the Prince's drawings.
In addition to failing in the examination, Li Jie's painting skills, especially architectural paintings, were quite high.
"Your Highness, Li Jie was abrupt a few days ago. I hope Your Highness will not blame you. His Highness Jie Guan's plan to renovate the old military weapons prison is basically the same."
"Therefore, I think we can order the general supervisor to make the components in advance and synchronize with the relocation of the weapons supervisor. After the move of the weapons supervisor is completed and the foundation is completed, the components can be shipped in for construction, which can save a lot of time."
"I have communicated with Professor Su many times. This time I have completed the drawings of the components and the specific dimensions. I hope I can fulfill my mission..."
Zhao Xi understood that he had caught a treasure.
This is not just a matter of architectural construction, Li Jie already has the concept of standard parts.
What a great talent!
"Let Li Jie rest in peace! Uncle Jie, you will communicate with the general supervisor about the composition of this painting..."
There are still a lot of things you have to do, but you can't just make the weapons supervisor transform and leave me exhausted.
Zhao Xi was not polite and didn't even praise him. He just ordered Li Jie to go to bed.
Not to mention, this kind of people just do this. If His Highness the Crown Prince had praised and thanked him, it might have made Li Jie feel uncomfortable, but His Highness the Crown Prince directly ordered him to go to bed... Li Jie really couldn't bear it.
I'm about to cry.
…
The Ordnance Supervisor was gone. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sent all the craftsmen, including the officials, to the guard camp for training, and then directly bulldozed the Ordnance Supervisor.
I don’t even understand that it could have been sold as a house, but now it’s just junk. But it’s not uncommon these days to see some junk from the weapons inspection being carted away.
His Highness the Crown Prince is interested in even this small amount of wealth, so he is indeed in trouble.
The princes wanted to ask several times, but they were worried that His Highness the Crown Prince would ask the court to pay money and food, so they didn't ask.
It doesn't matter if you suffer a little loss, but you can't get used to His Highness's habit of confronting the court, let alone the habit of still being able to make excuses if you make a mistake.
Zhao Xi waited for the princes to ask. If someone asked at this time, he didn't mind telling the truth. Really, he didn't think about slapping people in the face. It would be better to be harmonious.
At this time, whether the princes let the court take the lead in this matter, or someone was involved privately, Zhao Xi was ready to accept it.
He didn't believe that these gentlemen would only support him with the little spare money he had, nor did he believe that the imperial court really couldn't squeeze out money and food.
If you default on arrears at will, you should say delay the payment of salary. If you already have this little money, you can still make double the profit.
It's a pity that even when the foundation was laid at the original site of the Ordnance Supervision, no one said anything.
This was also deliberate by Lu Gongzhu. When communicating with the general, he did not tell the purpose of these things at all.
The generals and supervisors of the imperial dynasty had a detailed division of labor, and each workshop had its own specialty.
Besides, although these things are used by the imperial court, they are paid for by the East Palace and do not need to be paid by the imperial court, so no one pays attention to the construction of the general. This kind of life is not uncommon in the general.
All factors put together still created a profitable situation for Zhao Xi.
