What is qualified? No need to say Xiao Tang, everyone knows what the next two words are, even the little Di Renjie is no exception. After all, Lao Li is still alive now, and he is very strong. The speakers should take into account Lao Li's feelings.

But in fact, it is enough to say this. Xiao Tang has expressed his meaning very clearly, and Di Renjie also understood a rough idea, that is: Li Chengqian actually did not agree with Di Renjie to be responsible for the development of the ironclad ship, but just said it through Xiao Tang's mouth.

Is this really the case? Di Renjie tried to recall it and found that Tang Shanshi was not wrong. When he was in the palace, Li Chengqian seemed to have really asked him if he had thought about it, but because he was too excited, he nodded without considering it seriously.

I have to say that a beautiful misunderstanding arose.

In fact, would Li Chengqian really say what Tang Shanshi said? Of course the answer is no, because with his current status and power, there is no need to care about not offending others, and there is no need to say something through other people's mouths.

The reason why he asked Di Renjie whether he had considered it was just asking him whether he originally intended to take the risk of offending people to take on this matter. As for Di Renjie's ability, it was not within Li Chengqian's consideration.

After all, people always learn something in failure. When Tang Shanshi was sent to the Research Office to develop steam engines, he was even worse than Di Renjie now.

However, although Di Renjie suffered a certain blow, fortunately he did not completely lose confidence, and Xiao Tang did not really drive him back. He just took him to the office in the factory and called a blacksmith.

"What? Use iron to make a ship? How is this possible? How can the iron float on the water? Isn't this a joke?" As the commander-in-chief of all the blacksmiths in the factory, Yuan Shouyi immediately started yelling after hearing the request of Xiao Tang and Di Renjie, which was exactly the same as Xiao Tang's original performance.

Xiao Tang was not willing to offend the blacksmith among the blacksmiths in front of him. After all, there are still many things to rely on him to do in the future, so he said in a negotiated tone: "Old Yuan, I didn't ask you to build a giant ship, but I just asked you to build a model. I can't waste much time in total. Don't be so excited."

"Isn't that the same? Who doesn't know that iron things sink into the water? Tang Shuling, don't you know this kind of thing yet?" Yuan Shouyi's dark old face was roasted by fire and he said to Xiao Tang with some impatientness.

Obviously, he was thinking that Tang Shanshi was making a fool of himself with the child beside him. It would be better to study the steam turbine if he had time to build that model.

The young Di Renjie sat aside and was a little impatient, knocking on the table and interrupting: "Old Mr. Yuan, it's just a model, and it won't take much time to make it out. Why do you have to be so persistent?"

"It's simple. If this is the case, why don't you make one of your dolls?" Yuan Shouli didn't know Di Renjie's identity, he only knew that this little doll had tormented them for several days a few days ago, and he moved bricks and then bricks every day.

Di Renjie looked at the old blacksmith who was quite hostile to him with a little depressed look. He didn't know where he offended him. After a while, he coughed like a young man, cleared his throat and said, "Does Mr. Yuan think we are wasting our efforts? You know, the ironclad ship is a major event related to the future development of the navy. Do you really dare to take this responsibility based on your impulse?"

"This..." Yuan Shouyi hesitated for a moment, considering the authenticity of Di Renjie's words.

"Old Yuan, what this little brother said is actually nothing wrong. The iron-clad ship is the next goal for us. That is to say, whether you agree or not, this project must be carried out. Do you understand what this official means?" Tang Shanshi was a little unhappy when Yuan Liyi was very dissatisfied with face. For this reason, he did not hesitate to show his identity as an official to suppress Yuan Shouyi.

Originally, Di Renjie was Li Chengqian's disciple. If he told Li Chengqian what happened today, the impression of a lack of control and insufficient control would probably remain in the mind of the prince of the East Palace.

Seeing that Tang Shanshi said this, Yuan Shouyi stopped sticking to his point of view and said angrily: "Okay, since the bureau ordered the adults to insist, I, Yuan, just do it."

Originally, Yuan Shouyi was making a living under Tang Shanshi's hands. He was understandable when he was pretentious when he encountered something, but it would be nonsense to say that he could withstand Tang Shanshi's orders.

After all, if he really didn't cooperate, Xiao Tang could take him off the position of blacksmith supervisor and replace him with others. This was not a good deal for Yuan Shouyi.

Tang Shanshi looked at Yuan Shouyi's back as he left angry, and shook his head with a wry smile: "This old man has good skills, but he is really stubborn. I don't know whether your highness has been improving his craftsman status or is wrong."

Di Renjie also looked at the old man's departure back and showed a meaningful smile: "The teacher once said that you should not only look at the front of you when looking at things. Uncle Shanshi, you only look at the side of Mr. Yuan's contradicting his superiors, but do not mention the contributions made by the Blacksmith Branch of the Research Office during this period. This is unfair."

Tang Shanshi snorted, curled his lips and said, "You two masters and apprentices are aliens, and the things in your mind are different from those of normal people."

"Well. After I go back, I will tell the teacher what you said!" Di Renjie changed into a bad smile and said in an extremely sincere tone.

"What? You, you kid..." Tang Shanzhi's face changed instantly when he realized that he had let it go. After a moment, he changed into a smile and said, "Oh, Xiaojie, I have been in Chang'an for so long and have never been out to play well. If I don't go in, Uncle Shanzhi will take you out for a walk in the afternoon?"

Di Renjie looked at Tang Shanshi's old face that was constantly hesitating, and shook his head with a smile and said, "Hehe, Uncle Shanshi's words are insincere, it's so hypocritical. It's just that my nephew was nervous just now, and he has forgotten all the past!"

"You..." Tang Shanzhi looked at Di Renjie with laughter and cry, but a trace of nostalgia flashed in his eyes, as if he had thought of something.

Ten years ago, these Chang'an playboys seemed to be like this, and they fought each other with words every day. At that time, Li Chengqian seemed to be about the same age as the boy in front of him.

...

"Uncle Shanshi, what are you thinking?" After a while, Di Renjie found that Tang Shanshi was actually distracted and couldn't help but pull him.
