Chapter 344 An accident happened in the workshop
A few days later, in the Du Earl's Mansion, Du Shaoqing was discussing the next real estate plan with Wu Zhao and Yu Wenzhe, because the Changle House in Yongpingfang was about to be completed, which means that the first batch of reconstruction projects are about to be completed, and this is just the beginning of the Chang'an City reconstruction plan, and there is also a city construction behind it.
But as soon as the beginning was about to start, a soldier from the Hundred Riders came to inform Du Shaoqing that something happened in the papermaking workshop.
So Du Shaoqing rushed to his own papermaking workshop in the city. Seeing that all the workers were not killed or injured, Du Shaoqing let out a sigh of relief, as long as no one died, it would not be a big deal.
"What's going on? Papermaking has just started mass production. What happened?" Du Shaoqing asked.
The answer to him was not the old manager, but the escort of the Baiqisi in the workshop. "Someone wanted to rush to the workshop to seize the secret recipe for papermaking, but was stopped by the brothers. For this reason, we lost eight brothers. If we hadn't noticed it, we might have succeeded."
"Hmm? Come and steal the secret recipe? Who is so bold? And the success of papermaking here has not been announced yet. Basically, no one in Chang'an City knows, why are he being missed?" Du Shaoqing was guessing the identity of the visitor.
But the two brothers explained: "Because this workshop is built remotely, there are basically no strangers approaching them. However, in recent times, the brothers found that there were more strange faces in the strangers walking at the door, so they paid attention.
I also asked Shangguan to send ten more people to guard the guards. Unexpectedly, they really took action. We lost eight people, and the other party also left more than a dozen bodies and retreated."
Du Shaoqing said in surprise: "Retreat? The security in Chang'an City is good, why did the enemy escape? How many people did the other party come? If I remember correctly this workshop, there will be a full 100-man team to guard it."
The pair nodded and said, "Yes, but the workshop covers too much land and has a lot of defense pressure. In order to prevent the enemy from luring the tiger out of the mountain, our regulations are to warn to rescue nearby, and everyone is not allowed to come to meet the enemy.
The enemy attacked from the main gate with thirty people, but we were only fifteen brothers, and we fought to the death without retreating.
If they weren't scared away by our warning whistle, it would be hard to say."
Nodding, Du Shaoqing said in a deep voice: "You are doing right. If the enemy is prepared, there will definitely be more than these 30 people attacking the main gate. I will report to Your Majesty to ask for merit for you. The sacrificed brothers will give you three times the pension. Du Shaoqing, my son, will send someone to take care of you."
"Thank you, the prince consort, for your kindness. We have reported to the General of the Hundred Cavalry Division. I guess Your Majesty already knows it now. What should I do now? Please tell me the prince consort."
The soldiers around him were moved by Du Shaoqing's generous pension. I'm afraid that the only one of the rich princesses in the world is so generous. Even if other generals want to treat the soldiers well and take care of the elderly and the weak, they have to consider whether they can afford it.
Du Shaoqing looked at the undry blood at the door, and suddenly became angry and said in anger: "Come on a corpse of an enemy, I have my own way to chase the enemy. I dare to openly commit murder in Chang'an City and kill my Tang Dynasty guards. I want to see if he is a traitor or an external enemy."
At the same time, Emperor Li Er received the news that something happened to the paper mill and was furious. The paper mill had just gotten on track. His national education plan was just in its infancy. Before there were many books were printed, someone was thinking about it?
Can a small team in Chang'an do such a big move? What is Wuhou in the street patrol?
"You go in person, I'll give you twelve hours. If you can't find the murderer, don't come back." Li Er said to the eunuch Lao Gao, who was so scared that his neck cooled down. Then he straightened his body and shouted in a low voice: Death!
In fact, the head of the Hundred Cavalry Department of Emperor Li Er is this personal eunuch, responsible for controlling all intelligence and actions. Of course, he is not responsible for specific actions, and there are real generals below.
Taking General Baiqisi and more than 20 elite guards, Lao Gao came to the paper mill and happened to meet Du Shaoqing.
"My husband, it's my negligence that the paper mill has had such a big deal." Lao Gao said respectfully.
Du Shaoqing pulled Lao Gao and comforted him, "Okay, Lao Gao, you are the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty. How can you do everything you need to work hard all day long?"
"I dare not, I am just a errand runner. You must not have any words about the inner minister. Don't want me to harm me..." Lao Gao immediately begged Du Shaoqing for forgiveness.
"It's not a harm to you, I have no grudge against you. Du really admires you. Looks like he scared you." Du Shaoqing smiled.
Lao Gao also knew that the prince-consort was approachable and said everything he said in his heart, but he smiled bitterly: "The eunuchs are not allowed to interfere in politics, and we are not qualified to speak about state affairs..."
Du Shaoqing also knew about this situation, and then changed the topic and said to Lao Gao: "The guard brothers have done a good job this time. Not only are they fine, but they also have to remember the merits. I will explain these to my father-in-law in person.
Now let’s talk about chasing the enemy first. Those who can avoid the strict street patrol of the Tang Dynasty and retreat and hide their traces after the war are probably not simple people.”
Speaking of chasing the enemy, Lao Gao gritted his teeth and said angrily: "No matter who he is, he must be pulled out within one day. Lao Nu has asked the city gate to set up a checkpoint, so Xu Jin is not allowed to leave."
"I asked someone to bring the tiger here. In this case, chasing the remaining enemies, the tiger's nose is the most useful. Let's wait for a while, even if they have already left the city." Du Shaoqing explained. Lao Gao was very calm when he heard this, but he didn't expect that the prince consort would have such a skill.
But after a moment, Xue Rengui came with the tiger little meow. Du Shaoqing was stunned. What was going on and why did he bring the child?
Xue Rengui smiled bitterly: "The little princess insisted on coming to fight the bad guy with her father, but I couldn't persuade her, and in the end the princess agreed to her follow her."
Xiao Xuanxuan on the big cat had no intention of getting a tiger. She sat on the tiger's back and squinted her eyes and greeted Du Shaoqing: "Hehe, Dad, do you think they care about you very much? I heard that something is wrong here, so I immediately brought Xiao Miaomiao to help. Are you going to praise your daughter?"
Du Shaoqing held his forehead with his hands on his hands, speechless, and then stepped forward and wanted to carry his daughter down, "You girl is really a mess, and she is still praising you? Do you think Dad doesn't know you are playing around with the fun?"
Have you taught you that adults and children are not allowed to make trouble when doing things, why are they so disobedient? Come home quickly."
It seemed as if she knew that this was the result. Xiao Xuanxuan hugged the big cat's neck tightly, but she couldn't get off. She even shouted aggrievedly: "Dad, if you don't make trouble, you just want to see how Dad beats up the bad guys, and you'll make sure you don't make trouble."
"If you don't obey, I will give you to my grandma to discipline you..."
Seeing that the father and daughter were entangled, the General of the Baiqisi could not bear the little princess's beating and suffered, and advised: "Mr. Prince Consort, time is urgent. Since the little princess wants to go, just take it with her. I will send someone to protect her, and it will not affect our affairs."
"How can that be? It's bloody here, how can she see a child?" Lao Gao scolded, his words full of concern for the child.
Finally, Du Shaoqing held his daughter off the tiger with a hard heart and asked Xue Rengui to send her home, and made up his mind to change his daughter's willful and arrogant personality.
