Li Daoyan, Li Xiaorui and the chief supervisors assigned to various factories and mines, some were beaten to death by the workers, and some fled without a trace.
Workers in various factories and mines are unwilling to return to work in factories and mines. Some workers are afraid of punishment by the court and have fled one after another!
In this case, Li Er asked Du Ruhui to go to Guanzhou to settle matters in various factories and mines.
Du Ruhui thought: Your Majesty, you might as well send me to Lingnan!
Li Er glared at Du Ruhui: "Liu Mo has already appeased the workers in various factories and mines,"
"It turns out that Liu Mo also recovered some of the dismissed managers at all levels. Princess Changle still has a group of managers and master craftsmen..."
Du Ruhui still lowered his head and said nothing!
Li Er gritted his teeth and said: "You have the right to do things conveniently!"
With that said, Li Er took out a gold medal from the drawer and handed it to Du Ruhui.
After handing the gold medal to Du Ruhui, Li Er glared at Du Ruhui and emphasized: "We must restore Guanzhou to its original state before Su Chen comes back!"
Du Ruhui sighed: "My lord, I obey!"
After Du Ruhui and Li Xiaogong left, Li Er was left alone in the Ganlu Hall to meditate:
On the surface, Guanzhou looks like a few royal family members and young government officials are doing evil, but Li Er clearly knows that it is far from that simple.
As early as the spring, Xu Jingzong reported to Li Er that since Li Daoyan and Shaofu Supervisor took over the Guanzhou Iron and Steel Plant, the output and quality of the steel rails produced by the steel plant have declined.
When Princess Changle sold all Guanzhou's industries to the Shaofujian, she told Li Er that it was impossible for those royal children and the Shaofujian to manage the various factories and mines in Guanzhou.
Li Er knew very well that those words were not told to him by his daughter, but by Su Chen who asked Chang Le to tell him.
Before Su Chen left Guanzhou, he had already estimated that he would seize control of the factories and mines in Guanzhou, and had already made an explanation to Changle. Otherwise, Changle would not have sold off all the shares of those factories and mines to the Shaofu Supervisor so casually.
Not only that, Su Chen also told himself clearly through Changle that if your minions can't handle the management of various factories and mines in Guanzhou, they will definitely mess it up.
Li Er thought again of the Ordnance Supervision and Dengzhou Shipyard. The Ordnance Supervision has been casting artillery for so many years, but it still can't compare with Su Chen's workshops.
As for the Dengzhou Shipyard, let alone it. Not to mention compared with the newly built shipyard in Fuzhou, even the Yangzhou Shipyard cannot compare.
Yangzhou Shipyard was a group of old, weak, sick and disabled people who stayed after all the senior craftsmen and management staff left. Su Chen did not intend to let them continue to take over the shipbuilding task and instead be responsible for some ship maintenance.
Later, the Fuzhou Shipyard was too busy, so Changle sent a few orders to the idle Yangzhou Shipyard to try it out. As a result, the quality of the ships built was even better than Li Er's Guanzhou Shipyard, and the cost was less.
One percent!
Li Er knew very well what was going on at the Yangzhou Shipyard. In order to investigate the leakage of naval gunboat technology, Baiqisi investigated the Yangzhou Shipyard from top to bottom.
After Su Chen led the fleet to leave Yangzhou, everything in the Yangzhou Shipyard was under the surveillance of Baiqisi:
Some shipyard craftsmen who were left behind in Yangzhou asked the stewards to give them some work for their own livelihood.
Captain Yangzhou's steward saw that Yangzhou also had some remaining materials, so he boldly reported it to the superior.
It happened that the Fuzhou Shipyard was too busy, so it was suggested that Yangzhou should try it, and Princess Changle agreed.
Then Yangzhou Shipyard built the navy's gunboats!
When Li Er listened to Bai Qisi's detailed report, he almost went crazy with anger!
If it weren't for the fact that he had already exiled three Guanzhou ship ambassadors to Lingnan in succession, and was in urgent need of warships to expand his naval power, Li Er would have wanted to kill all the officials in the Guanzhou shipyard!
Li Er pondered for a long time in the Ganlu Hall, and finally sighed helplessly!
He couldn't figure out what was going on behind these things, but fortunately, everything in Datang was still developing for the better, and Su Chen had no trace of betrayal.
This made Li Er feel a little more at ease. He sighed and asked Li Junxian to call Liu Qingshan over and ask him to follow Du Ruhui to Guanzhou.
What happened in Guanzhou shocked Li Er. He really didn't expect that in less than a year, Guanzhou would be harmed like that by his trusted henchmen.
Moreover, everyone in the imperial court kept it secret from him intentionally or unintentionally, so much so that Liu Mo, the governor of Guanzhou, sent him countless memorials for more than half a year, but he didn't even see it!
Finally, Liu Mo was forced to leave his territory without permission and ran to Chang'an to find him.
Fortunately, there is a railway connection between Guanzhou and Chang'an, and Liu Mo was able to run to Chang'an for help in time, otherwise something might have happened.
Li Er was a little frightened when he thought about what would happen if a hundred thousand people with no shortage of weapons and armored people rebelled.
…
After Du Ruhui returned home with the gold medal, he asked people to pack up his gifts and prepare to take the train to Guanzhou early tomorrow morning.
Du Ruhui had a headache when he thought about his mission after going to Guanzhou:
How can it be so easy to restore Guanzhou to its original state?
Before Su Chen rushes back!
This damn Changsun Wuji ran to Luoyang as soon as he saw something was wrong.
Fang Xuanling stayed in Lingnan again and did not come back.
Wei Zheng, a stubborn man, was having trouble with His Majesty over the punishment of several officials from the three provinces.
In the end, this hard work can only fall on yourself!
Du Ruhui was feeling sad when Liu Qingshan came to find him.
Liu Qingshan explained his purpose of coming, saying that His Majesty asked him to assist Du Ruhui in going to Guanzhou together, and asked Du Ruhui if he had any instructions before setting off.
Du Ruhui sighed and said: "General Liu, you also know what happened in Guanzhou. It won't work if we don't take a heavy blow this time!"
"General Youlao will take all the officials detained in the prison to Guanzhou tomorrow morning."
Liu Qingshan glanced at Du Ruhui and said in his heart that your heavy hand is indeed heavy enough. You are going to take all the imprisoned officials from the Shaofu Prison to Guanzhou and kill them all!
Those officials in the Shaofu Supervisor all have high status, either relatives of the emperor or descendants of various powerful families.
But the two princes have been demoted to common people, how can they live well?
Liu Qingshan didn't say anything, and went back to prepare to go.
Du Ruhui rushed to Guanzhou early the next morning without saying anything.
Queen Changsun was about to go to Sujiazhuang to visit Changle. Before she could leave, Changle had already entered the palace to see her.
The news that the naval fleet has returned triumphantly and has arrived in Guangzhou has reached Sujiazhuang last night.
Chang Le and Sun Rong were so excited that they burst into tears.
Changle hurriedly came to see Queen Changsun early in the morning to find out the exact news!
"Did you hear the news?"
Queen Changsun asked Changle to sit down.
Changle nodded: "Aniang, brother Su Chen..."
Empress Changsun smiled and said: "Look how anxious you are! He is fine and is bringing the navy back."
"Eight Hundred Miles Express can only deliver urgent military information. Other detailed information will arrive in two days."
