Du Ruhui didn't want to go through the muddy waters of Guanzhou.
He understood the ins and outs of why things happened at Guanzhou Iron and Steel Plant, iron mines, coal mines and other mines:
After Li Doyan, Li Xiaorui and others went to Guanzhou Iron and Steel Plant, the first thing they did was to change the original management levels of the factory.
And the person who secretly instigated them to do this was His Majesty Li Er, Emperor of the Tang Dynasty!
Liu Mo, the governor of Guanzhou, wrote a letter to object to this matter. He and Fang Xuanling also advised Li Er not to do this, but Li Er did not listen.
Wei Zheng also went to find Princess Changle. After all, Su Chen also had a large number of employees in the Guanzhou Iron and Steel Plant, and many of the managers were recruited from various industrial workshops of the Su family.
Wei Zheng thought that Princess Changle would persuade Li Er, but what surprised Wei Zheng was:
Princess Changle directly sold her shares in Guanzhou Iron and Steel Plant. Not only the steel plant, but also Guanzhou Coal Mine, Iron Ore and other mines, Princess Changle also withdrew completely.
Less than half a year after Su Chen left Datang, Changle completely threw away all the properties Su Chen had arranged in Guanzhou!
And after taking over these factories, the share of the mines was the Shaofu Supervisor, which caused a lot of discussion in the whole court!
The Young Master is the emperor's domestic slave. Li Er is directly reaching out to Guanzhou, trying to take the steel factory and the mine into his hands.
Li Er's appearance was too ugly, and the ministers were talking behind their backs. Wei Zheng scolded Li Er for competing with the people for profit.
But Princess Changle and Su Chen are Li Er’s daughters and sons-in-law.
Moreover, Su Chen was not in the Tang Dynasty. Princess Changle did this on her own, and everyone could only open their eyes and watch.
The whole family can play however they want, and no one else can get in the way.
However, there are many accusations against Princess Changle behind her back.
Although you are a princess, you will become the daughter-in-law of the Su family after you get married.
It is outrageous to transfer the property of your husband's family to your mother's family like this!
Even if Princess Changle said that Su Chen agreed before leaving, who would believe it?
Everyone is waiting to see what Princess Changle will say after Su Chen comes back, or what Li Er will say.
There are many people who are secretly gloating about the misfortune, and they are all looking forward to Su Chen's coming back to break up with the royal family!
Princess Changle ignored the rumors outside.
He donated a large sum of money from the sale of Guanzhou's properties to the school in Guanzhou, and the rest formed several caravans to do business with the Turks on the grassland.
The senior craftsmen and managers at all levels that Su Chen originally assigned to various factories and mines in Guanzhou were removed by Li Daoyan and Li Xiaorui, and then returned to various industries of the Su family.
At this time, Su Chen's various arrangements in Guanzhou were completely defeated by Princess Changle!
Everyone thought that this matter was over, and they could just wait for Su Chen to come back and continue reading jokes.
As a result, last month Liu Mo, the governor of Guanzhou, suddenly ran to Chang'an and broke into the main hall to cry.
It is said that Li Daoyan, the prince of Jiaoxi County, and Li Xiaorui, the prince of Guangping County, killed the Guanzhou Iron and Steel Plant and the workers in various factories and mines, and tortured the people under their rule!
Liu Mo also said that Li Daoyan ordered his guards to kill many workers in the steel plant, which aroused workers' resistance and that the steel plant had been occupied by angry workers.
Li Er was confused when he saw Li Er running to the main hall and crying to him about Liu Mo, the governor of Guanzhou:
How could such a big thing happen?
And I actually don’t know anything about it!
Why didn't the officials in the Shaofu Supervisor report to me, and what were the Baiqisi I sent to Guanzhou doing?
Li Er shamelessly took control of the factories and mines in Guanzhou from his daughter, how could he not send people to keep a close eye on him!
The people he sent to manage the factories and mines were all the children of the royal family and the confidants of the Shaofu Supervisor, and he also sent Baiqisi to monitor secretly in Guanzhou.
Moreover, Guanzhou and Chang'an are connected by railway and can be reached in one day.
In this way, such a big thing happened in Guanzhou, and Li Er didn't know anything about it!
At the same time, the railway supervisor Xu Jingzong also reported to Li Er that the quality of the rails delivered to the railway supervisor by the Guanzhou Iron and Steel Plant in the past two months was seriously substandard and could not be used at all!
Looking at Liu Mo and Xu Jingzong in the main hall, Li Er was completely angry and stopped the morning court.
Li Junxian personally took Baiqisi and the men and horses stationed on the left and right to Guanzhou to thoroughly investigate what happened in Guanzhou.
Li Junxian worked very efficiently, and on the third day he escorted Li Daoyan, Li Xiaorui, several other royal family members, and several officials from the Shaofu Prison back to Chang'an.
As for the officers left behind by Baiqisi in Guanzhou, they were directly killed by Li Junxian on the spot!
At the same time, Li Junxian also reported the specific situation in Guanzhou to Li Er. In fact, the matter was very clear. Li Junxian arrived in Guanzhou and inquired about it and found out:
Li Daoyuan deducted workers' wages for a long period of time, which aroused collective opposition from the craftsmen and triggered the first workers' strike movement in history!
Faced with the workers' resistance, Lee Do-yeon adopted extremely brutal methods.
They directly picked out several craftsmen who were leading the strike and beat them to death in public, hoping to serve as a warning to others.
Unexpectedly, his move completely angered the workers at the steel plant. The angry workers directly grabbed the guy and started fighting with Li Doyeon's guards!
When Liu Mo, the governor of Guanzhou, arrived at the scene, Li Daoyan was escaping from the steel plant under the desperate protection of his guards. More than a dozen of his guards had been killed.
When Li Daoyan saw Liu Mo arriving, he yelled for Liu Mo to send officials to kill all the rebellious workers in the steel plant.
Liu Mo ignored Li Daoyan and asked Zhou Sima to send Li Daoyan back, while he hurried to appease the workers in the steel plant.
Fortunately, Liu Mo has been in Guanzhou in the past few years since the locust plague in Guanzhou. As an official, he has indeed done a lot for the people.
Liu Mo also personally participated in the construction of the Guanzhou Iron and Steel Plant, and he had high prestige in the eyes of the workers.
With Liu Mo's strong comfort and guarantee, the workers in the steel plant did not directly steal the weapons and rebel.
But the steel plant was indeed completely occupied by workers.
After Liu Mo appeased the workers at the steel plant, he took a train to Chang'an early the next morning to ask for an audience with Li Er.
Li Junxian arrived in Guanzhou to learn about the situation and was shocked!
Not only did the steel plant have an accident, but workers in coal mines, iron mines, limestone mines and other mines also went on strike and stopped production.
Workers in these mines were also abused by Li Xiaorui.
Since the locust plague in Guanzhou, more than half of the young adults have been working in various factories and mines, and most other people also rely on these factories and mines to make a living.
As long as the workers in the steel plant rush out of the steel plant with the help of others, Li Junxian estimates that the entire workers in Guanzhou will follow them in rebellion!
The left-behind officer of Baiqisi in Guanzhou had long been bribed by Li Daoyan and Li Xiaorui, but he did not report the situation in Guanzhou at all. Li Junxian was so angry that he immediately killed him.
Li Daoyan, Li Xiaorui and the Shaofu officials who were colluding with them were directly put on the train by Li Junxian and sent back to Chang'an, where they were handed over to Li Er for disposal.
Although the culprit was caught, the Guanzhou Steel Plant and various mines were completely paralyzed!
