Li Chengqian, who was robbed so much, really couldn't laugh anymore.
But now, he just wants to vent his anger.
At that moment, he led everyone to the weaving factory.
At this moment, workers recruited from the private sector are working in full swing.
Seeing Li Chengqian's arrival, the clerk who was the person in charge of the factory also immediately ran over.
He cupped his hands and said, "I see your highness, my dear. Why are you free today and why are you here?"
"Of course I have something to ask you."
Li Chengqian directly threw the cloth Ning Ranran gave him into the hands of the clerk.
He asked: "What's the matter with this cloth?"
Seeing this, the clerk was also a little dazed: "Is there anything wrong with this cloth?"
"What do you think?"
Ning Ranran also has a short temper.
She said: "This cloth is as brittle as paper and will break when you rub it. Aren't you fooling me?"
"Miss Ning, your Ning family is our big customer, how could we fool you?"
The clerk glanced at the cloth in his hand and tore it gently, and it shattered in an instant.
Seeing this scene, the clerk was also a little confused.
Obviously, he didn't expect the cloth to be so brittle.
Then, he held the cloth in his hand, put it under his nose and smelled it.
He looked at Ning Ranran and said, "Miss Ning, why does this cloth smell like alcohol?"
"Smells like alcohol?"
"How can it be?"
"I took this cloth directly from the carriage carrying goods."
Ning Ranran took the cloth with a look of disbelief on her face, put it under her nose and smelled it.
Although the smell of alcohol on the cloth is very weak, you can still smell it.
At this moment, both of them were stunned.
They all set their sights on Li Chengqian.
But now, even though Li Chengqian was slow to react, he also knew what was going on.
Li Chengqian frowned and said, "Take me to the warehouse."
The clerk did not dare to hesitate and hurriedly led Li Chengqian toward the warehouse.
in warehouse, store There is a lot of fabric accumulated that has not yet been put to use.
Li Chengqian didn't care and ran directly to a pile of goods.
He put his hand into the cloth, and when he pulled it out, the palms and backs of his hands were all wet.
I put it under my nose and smelled it, and it was full of the strong smell of alcohol.
When the cloth comes into contact with strong alcohol, it will age to a certain extent, not to mention that it has been soaked in alcohol for so long?
This will definitely cause problems.
Seeing this scene, Li Chengqian also knew that he must have been plotted against him.
Li Chengqian looked at the clerk and said, "Find someone to count the total losses."
The clerk also knew that something serious was going on, so he didn't dare to hesitate and hurried out to call for help.
Wait until the losses are settled.
Li Chengqian wanted to hit the wall.
Almost all the cloth stored in the warehouse had been doused with strong alcohol.
To a certain extent, this means that all the cloth in this warehouse is useless.
Listening to the report of the people below, Li Chengqian's eyes became gloomy.
To be honest, it was also the first time for Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji to see Li Chengqian like this.
No matter what happened to this guy earlier, he was always cheerful, as if he had no worries.
But this time, he was angry and his face was as gloomy as Sanjiutian.
He looked at the clerk beside him and said: "I gave this factory to you, and this is how you repay me?"
The little official was also very frightened.
He knelt on the ground, his body trembling uncontrollably: "Your Highness, calm down, Your Highness, the villain is guilty, the villain deserves to die..."
"Damn?"
"Will things be solved if you die?"
Li Chengqian roared directly: "Do you know how much money the government will lose because of this?"
The clerk put his face directly to the ground.
The total value of this entire warehouse of cloth is not counted
Its number.
Moreover, in order to preserve the reputation and face of the factory, Li Chengqian had to take back the goods he had previously sold.
Even with the money for the goods, the business in the past month might have been in vain.
Although Li Chengqian is not a guy who is obsessed with fame and fortune.
But losing so much money all at once would be uncomfortable for anyone.
And what makes Li Chengqian most uncomfortable is not these.
It was he who couldn't face those workers.
In order to get the factory back on track as soon as possible. .??.
Those workers are working day and night, just to stock up more goods to satisfy the merchants who come to buy goods.
Because only in this way can the business scale be expanded, the factory can recruit more workers, and more people can be fed and clothed.
But now, everything has to start from scratch.
All their efforts were ruined...
Thinking of this, Li Chengqian's face became even more angry.
"Check, check it for me. I want a result within three days."
"Otherwise, go and give an explanation to those hard-working workers."
After saying that, he didn't care what the clerk's expression was and walked directly towards Li Shimin.
He lowered his head and said: "Father, this is the child's dereliction of duty. Please punish me."
After all, this factory was invested and constructed by the imperial court, and the money was taken from the imperial court.
Now that it has become like this, Li Chengqian, as the general person in charge, naturally has to bear the primary responsibility.
"It doesn't matter."
Li Shimin raised his head and said: "If the money is gone, just make it back later. It's not a big deal."
"But……"
Li Chengqian pursed his lips and said: "These cloths are made by workers who come out day and night..."
"That's okay."
"Just compensate them more in the future."
"This time, let me teach you a lesson. You must take good care of the people around you in the future."
Li Shimin's last sentence clearly had a profound meaning. He, Li Chengqian, is good at everything, but he trusts the people around him so much that he doesn't even have the slightest intention of being defensive.
This is what worries Li Shimin the most.
How many times has it been since the Qingci incident to now?
But Li Chengqian just doesn't have a long memory.
Li Shimin shook his head and sighed, and said: "Qian'er, it's time for you to grow up. There are some things that your father won't teach you, so you should understand them."
Hearing this, Li Chengqian raised his head and glanced at Li Shimin, his eyes filled with helplessness.
How could he not know that he had this problem?
But he really couldn't help it.
He really can't think of others as bad as they think.
Li Chengqian shook his head and sighed, saying: "My child, you have learned a lesson..."
Because this trip was incognito.
Li Shimin could not stay here for too long.
He has to return to Chang'an City to continue handling state affairs.
Therefore, he only stayed with Li Chengqian for two days.
After visiting all the industrial projects, we set off back to Chang'an.
On the day of departure, Li Chengqian rode his horse to see him and Changsun Wuji to the ferry.
On the occasion of parting.
Li Shimin called Li Chengqian to his side: "You've done well in Liangzhou. Dad is proud of you."
Hearing this, Li Chengqian lowered his head in embarrassment.
He said: "Father, this is ridiculous. What a child does is really not worth mentioning."
"Whether it's worth mentioning or not, I have the final say."
Li Shimin chuckled, and then said: "Go back, I will come again when I have free time."
"Okay, father, don't forget to help me bring it to my mother."
Li Chengqian also waved his hand and said: "After I finish handling the matters here, I will return to Chang'an and greet my mother in person."
Hearing this, Li Shimin grinned and smiled silently.
Watching the ship go further and further away.
Li Chengqian's eyes gradually became complicated...
There are some things that he can't avoid even if he wants to.
