Chapter 38 Who Made the Law?
Chapter 50 Who Made the Law?
A city must develop simultaneously from two aspects.

That is heavy industry and light industry.

Steelworks and cement factories are heavy industries, while movable type printing is light industry.

Next, the ninth is to use steelmaking plants and cement plants to carry out infrastructure construction in Qianzhou.

Think about it, a house built with cement and steel bars, with the means of those southern barbarians, Li Chengqian can guarantee that even if the Qianzhou guards don't make any resistance, those southern barbarians will not be able to attack for a while.

Now that more and more coal is mined from coal mines outside the city, it is believed that it should be enough to make honeycomb coal and smelt steel in a short period of time.

After the coal mines are dug, he can continue to look for coal mines in other places. Anyway, although Qianzhou is remote, there are still quite a lot of coal resources.

"Great Governor!"

When Li Chengqian walked into the steel factory, a middle-aged man immediately greeted him with a respectful expression.

This person is Gao Fa, the director of the steel factory. He used to be the supervisor of the Ordnance Department. After Li Chengqian established the steel factory and the cement factory, he brought the two supervisors of the Ordnance Department over to build two factories respectively. the factory manager.

And in terms of status, the ranks of the two factory directors are the same as that of Guo Pu, the commander of the Armaments Department, and they are both from the seventh rank.

In the past, when they were the supervisors of the Armament Department, they were the lowest-ranked ninth-rank officials, but now they have suddenly become seventh-rank officials. It can be said that a crow has turned into a phoenix.

"How's the situation in the steel mill?" Li Chengqian asked softly with his hands behind his back.

Gao Fa clasped his hands and said, "Going back to the governor, after nearly 20 days of study, all the craftsmen in the steel factory are familiar with the situation. If it is fast, it is estimated that the official work will start in three or four days."

"Well, how many people are there now?" Li Chengqian asked.

Gao Fa replied: "Back to the governor, according to your instructions, the steel factory will recruit 500 people in the early stage, and when it is on track, it can expand to 1000 people!"

"Okay, Gao Fa, as long as you manage the steel plant well, the governor promises that you will be rich and prosperous in the future!"

Gao Fa's face brightened, "Thank you, Commander."

"Okay, you guys are busy first, the governor has to go to the cement factory."

After coming out of the steel factory, Li Chengqian turned around and went to the cement factory not far next door.

Similar to the situation in the steel factory, the cement factory also employs 500 people. According to Li Chengqian's instructions, Zhao De, the factory director, can expand the number of employees as long as the cement factory is on the right track.

After returning to the Governor's Mansion, Li Chengqian was tired all morning and was about to go back to the backyard to rest with Su Han in his arms when Zhuge Liang suddenly walked in again and said, "Captain Governor, a businessman came outside and said he came to see you."

"Ok?"

Li Chengqian raised his eyebrows, "Businessman? Strange, what did the businessman ask me for?"

"I don't know, Liang asked him, but he didn't say anything."

Li Chengqian stood up, "Okay, go see him."

When he reached the gate of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, Li Chengqian realized that he was a middle-aged man in his 30s, with an ordinary appearance, the kind he couldn't find in the crowd.

"Great Governor!" The middle-aged man cupped his hands and said in a low voice, "The villain came from Chang'an and passed through expensive land on business. I don't know if the Great Governor has any ideas about buying things?"

Li Chengqian looked at him, squinted his eyes, "Okay, come in."

Afterwards, Li Chengqian brought the so-called businessman into the Governor's Mansion.

As soon as he entered the study, the businessman knelt down on one knee and said respectfully, "Governor, there is news from Chang'an."

Zhuge Liang looked at him in surprise, then looked at Li Chengqian, and asked, "Governor, this is..."

Li Chengqian smiled slightly, "Before, I secretly trained a group of spies and asked them to go to several important cities in the Tang Dynasty. If there is an emergency, they can also report to me in time."

Zhuge nodded, full of emotion, "Before Liang wanted to remind the governor of this matter, but I didn't expect the governor to be prepared, and Liang was negligent."

Li Chengqian waved his hand and looked at the middle-aged man, "Tell me, what did you find?"

The middle-aged man said: "Great Governor, the villain found out that King Wei seems to be planning to take action against the Great Governor recently."

"Huh? What's going on?" Li Chengqian frowned.

"The king of Wei knew about the fact that you opened a steel mill and a cement factory in Qianzhou, the governor, so he decided to cooperate with the minister of the Ministry of Industry to attack the governor."

"What? It's inexplicable, the governor opened the factory, and he doesn't care about it? Was this guy an airstrip in his previous life, and he cared so much!" Li Chengqian was a little bit aggrieved.

"Cough cough..."

Zhuge Liang, who was diving next to him, couldn't help bubbling, "According to the regulations of the "Zhenguan Law", any local official who opens a workshop must report to the Ministry of Industry, otherwise it will be regarded as treason."

"... "

Li Chengqian blushed, "Who the hell made the law, why is it always punished as treason?"

"Well... it was your father's decision..."

"... "

...

Li Chengqian carefully flipped through the "Law of Zhenguan" and found... that there really was such a law.

This is mainly to prevent local officials from using the workshop to do things that are not conducive to the rule of the Li family.

"I'm a factory, not a workshop, so I shouldn't break the law?" Li Chengqian blinked, trying to make a final struggle.

Zhuge Liang didn't speak, just looked at him with a smile.

Li Chengqian's face collapsed, "Oh, what should we do about this matter?"

Zhuge Liang pondered for a moment, "Governor, why are you so panicked?"

Li Chengqian said with a bitter face: "The minister of the Ministry of Industry, named Du Chuke, is Du Ruhui's younger brother..."

As far as Du Chuke is concerned, he is not a bad person.

When Wang Shichong claimed to be Emperor Zheng in Luoyang and fought against Li Shimin, Du Chuke and his uncle Du Yan were arrested by Wang Shichong.

Du Yan once had a grudge against Du Ruhui. In order to retaliate, Du Yan told a lot of slanderous lies in front of Wang Shichong, which killed Ruhui's brother. He also asked Wang Shichong to imprison Du Chuke and deny him food, so that Du Chuke almost starved. die.

After Li Shimin pacified Wang Shichong, he planned to kill Du Yan.

As a result, Du Chuke found Du Ruhui, hoping that he could plead with Li Shimin and let Du Yan go.

Even people like Du Ruhui who understand righteousness wanted to kill Du Yan, but Du Chuke, the person involved, forgave Du Yan graciously.

After that, Du Chuke successively served as Zuowei Zhonglang General and Pu and Ying Erzhou Inspectors. In the 12th year of Zhenguan, because Wei Wang Li Tai wanted to compile "Kuo Di Zhi", he specially allowed the Wei Mansion to open a literature museum and attracted scholars from all over the world. son.

At that time, Du Chuke was also among them, and became the long history of Wei Wangfu.

In the 16th year of Zhenguan, he served as the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, but at the same time, he was still the long history of the Wei Palace.

Therefore, Du Chuke, like Liu Ji, is one of the main counselors of King Wei.

This guy Li Tai has been staying in Chang'an, there are many talented people there, and those people give him advice, Li Chengqian said that he feels very insecure.

Zhuge Liang frowned, thought for a moment and said: "Actually, there is no way to deal with this matter."

"This matter can be big or small. If it is handled properly, it might be a good thing for the governor."

"Ok?"

Li Chengqian looked at him immediately, excitedly said: "Zhuge Liang, do you have a countermeasure?"

Zhuge Liang smiled slightly, then whispered into Li Chengqian's ear, muttering softly.

Li Chengqian's eyes became brighter and brighter, and finally he couldn't help but patted Zhuge Liang on the shoulder, and said with a smirk: "As expected of the most famous dog-headed military adviser, I knew you had a way!"

Zhuge Liang: "..."
