Datang: The prince of salted fish was overheard by Li Er

In the early morning of the second day, Li You woke up early and arrived at the Shence Mansion.

It's not that Li You remembered it so early, it was already late at night yesterday when he wanted to understand everything, and he originally wanted to have a good sleep.

But Xiao Ying refused to let her go, and she led a group of maids into Li You's room just after dawn.

Then, while Li You was still in a daze, he finished his grooming.

Arriving at Shence Mansion, before entering the door, Li You could smell all kinds of burning smells in the air. Accompanied by the sound of heavy objects falling from time to time, bursts of hot air kept coming.

After Li You arrived, a kind of management of Shence Mansion also appeared in front of him.

The leader is Zhou Huai'an who was in charge of fighting the fire yesterday.

"My lord, you are here."

"Yesterday, the fire burned all night, and we didn't completely put him out until dawn."

"According to the current investigation, it can be seen that the fire started inside the paper-making workshop and printing workshop, and now the two workshops have all been burned down."

"Fortunately, our isolation measures were in place and did not affect the surrounding buildings, and there were no casualties!"

For the burning of the factory, Li You was well prepared. The only thing that worried him was whether there would be casualties due to the fire.

Now that he heard Zhou Huai'an's report, he felt relieved.

He said: "Last night, everyone worked hard. After the inspection is over and people are left to guard, let everyone rest first."

Li You had just finished giving his orders when he heard someone calling him.

"You'er, why did you come here!"

"If you don't come again, we will all be worried that something will happen to you!"

Li You followed the voice and found that the person who called him was his cousin Chai Zhewei.

As the county magistrate of Wannian County, shortly after the fire broke out last night, he brought the Yamen's firefighting team to the scene.

The reason why the fire can be well controlled is also inseparable from his proactiveness.

Seeing Chai Zhewei's messy body, Li You was also moved for a while: "I really thank my cousin here."

"Thanks to my cousin, my Shence Mansion was not burned to nothing."

Chai Zhewei waved his hands and said, "Your, you don't need to be too polite. It's my duty to fight fires, even for ordinary people."

"Besides, I've been busy all night, but I actually didn't do anything!"

Then Chai Zhewei looked at Zhou Huai'an again with complaints and said, "Hey, if it wasn't for Coach Zhou who said that some things in the two workshops would produce poisonous gas after burning, I might be able to help you if you don't let me bring people in to put out the fire." Save some more things!"

When Chai Zhewei brought people here last night, Zhou Huai'an had basically controlled the spread of the fire. Originally, Chai Zhewei was going to bring people to put out the fire directly, but Zhou Huaian stopped him.

Chai Zhewei didn't quite believe Zhou Huaian's reasons at first, but after two of his subordinates approached the workshop and were blinded by the thick smoke, he could only let the yamen servants and Shence Guards control the surrounding situation. Do not allow fire to spread.

Li You naturally knew how Zhou Huai'an handled it, and the fact that the fire could burn like this for one night was largely due to a scene that Li You had arranged long ago, in order to make those aristocratic families think that their plan had succeeded. Thus taking it lightly.

After sighing for a while, Chai Zhewei asked again: "Why haven't I seen Uncle Feng since I've been here for so long?"

Chai Zhewei didn't understand that Feng Shaoshi, as the head of Shence Palace, had such a big incident happened here, but he didn't come forward.

Li You shook his head helplessly and said: "Isn't this winter coming? Uncle Feng is at the garment workshop. This year's cotton harvest is bumper, and a lot of cotton clothes have indeed been produced."

"However, in front of the Tang Dynasty's hundreds of thousands of troops, there are still too many monks and too few porridge. More than a dozen generals are scrambling to get the cotton-padded clothes. There is no one who is worthy enough to be there!"

"If Uncle Feng could be in Shence Mansion, would there still be this fire!"

Hearing Li You's complaint, Chai Zhewei could only nod helplessly.

Although there are many good ministers in the Tang Dynasty, after being distributed to all parts of the country, there is still a shortage of talents.

It is precisely in this way that a far-sighted person like Du Yan attaches so much importance to Li You's training plan for grassroots officials.

Seeing that he couldn't do anything, Chai Zhewei could only comfort him: "You'er, everything in this workshop is foreign, if it is burned, it will be burned."

"As long as people are still there, it won't be long before we can build it."

"If there is any difficulty, my father and I are your backing."

Li You was also extremely moved by Chai Zhewei's heartfelt concern. After thanking him again and again, he bid farewell to Chai Zhewei and entered the Shence Mansion again.

Due to the timely firefighting work, although the two workshops were burnt to the ground, it had little impact on the entire Shence Mansion. Not only was Li You's study undamaged, it was even opened on the side of the Shence Mansion. The new school, today is also in class as usual.

After entering the hall, Li You called together all the high-ranking officials of the Shence Mansion, and began to deal with the matter formally.

"Berwin, how big is our loss this time?"

Liu Bowen nodded and said: "The two workshops were all burned down, and the equipment, raw materials, and books that were not shipped out were worth more than 80 guan. This is the loss of housing and the inability to start work. This time, our loss will be [-] million guan. !"

Even though Li You was mentally prepared, after hearing this number, he still took a deep breath.

Datang's conquest of Turks only issued millions of war debts, but now he has lost 80 million in just two workshops.

Seeing Li You's distressed appearance, Liu Bowen quickly explained: "Your Majesty, you don't need to be so distressed. In fact, if you want to rebuild the house and workshop, it is only 20 yuan. My loss of 80 million yuan is based on the reconstruction of the workshop during this period. Calculated by running at full capacity."

Hearing this, Li You finally felt better.

"After the burned place is repaired, there is no need to build a workshop. I will still be useful in the future."

In Li You's opinion, the layout of these workshops must be placed in the industrial park, and the land of Shence Mansion should be reserved for more important things.

After asking about the loss, Li You asked again: "Huai'an, are those who set fire caught?"

Zhou Huai'an said: "When we came back, the fire had already started, and we didn't see the person who set it on fire directly."

"But we detained all the suspicious personnel who were in the mansion at that time, and Jin Yiwei is now interrogating them."

After listening to Zhou Huaian's words, Li You looked at Mou Bin again. After receiving a positive look, Li You felt relieved.

However, in front of other people, Li You waved his hand in disappointment and said, "It's enough to ask about it. Those who have to run away, and the rest are loyal to this king."

"Good performance in this fire fighting will be rewarded!"

"Clear rewards and punishments are the rules of my king's work."

After Li You finished speaking, several officials who were originally related to the two workshops showed a hint of guilt on their faces.

Li You had a panoramic view of the expressions of these people, and then a perceptible smile appeared from the corner of his mouth.

At the same time, Li You found that among the people present, there was a person with a very different expression from the others, and a playful smile appeared on Li You's face.
