Five years of county magistrate, 100 million catties of grain shocked Li Shimin

Chapter 462: The problems of the three major factories, extreme joy leads to sorrow

Changsun Wuji felt that something was wrong with the three major factories for more than a day or two.

As early as one month after taking over, I already felt that something was wrong with the three major factories.

But because I was busy and didn't have that time, I didn't pay much attention to it. I didn't think about checking it until now.

Or a red brick factory.

After Changsun Wuji arrived, he entered the factory director's office.

The factory director is a distant relative of Changsun Wuji and has some ability.

But when Changsun Wuji arrived at the office, he found him teasing his female subordinate.

"Uncle Wuji, why are you here?"

While driving the female subordinates away, the factory director greeted Changsun Wuji.

"Call me by my official name."

Changsun Wuji said in a deep voice.

He doesn't like people who pick up sex while at work.

"Changsun Shangshu."

The factory director suddenly trembled and moved even faster.

"Have you sold the red bricks you made recently?"

Changsun Wuji sat in the factory director's seat and said in a deep voice.

There were some documents on the desk, and Changsun Wuji took them over and looked through them.

Changsun Wuji frowned when he felt a little dust on the document.

If there is dust, it means that the document has been left untouched for a while, either because it is not working, or because the factory director is negligent.

"No, no sales, no customers buying."

The factory director said sarcastically.

On the side, he poured tea for Changsun Wuji in a flattering manner.

"It hasn't been sold for almost two months, why didn't you tell me?"

Changsun Wuji slammed the table and said in a deep voice.

"I, I tried to find you several times, but I saw that you were too busy to look around, so I stopped talking."

The factory director said squeakingly.

This is one of the reasons, and the other reason is that he is worried that Changsun Wuji will stop the work of the red brick factory.

It's rare for me to have such a good job. I hardly have to work all day long, and I can still tease my female subordinates. I live a happy life. Who would want to close the factory with such a life?

"Damn things!"

"Have you ever investigated why it couldn't be sold?"

How could Changsun Wuji not see his little thoughts?

In fact, he didn't want to close the factory, after all, it had only been two months since he took over.

The officials of the imperial court were all staring at this, especially those who were close to Fang Yuan, wanting to laugh at him.

"Yes, we have investigated it."

“Those with high demand still have stocks, while those with low demand are really small, so we don’t need to produce new ones.”

The factory director said with a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, I am not doing nothing.

Otherwise, I might be scolded to death if I talk to Changsun Wuji today.

"No need to produce new ones?"

"Does the warehouse always have stock?"

Changsun Wuji frowned.

"Yes, there are many more."

"We've had almost no actual production in the past two months."

The factory director nodded and said.

"Hardly ever actually produced?"

"Then the workers get paid and don't have to work?"

Changsun Wuji immediately understood the key.

There is no business outside, but there is still inventory inside, so workers don’t have to work.

He and Gao Shilian invested nearly one million in two months, but they raised a group of idle people?
"This can't drive them away, can it?"

The factory manager said with a wry smile.

The red brick factory was taken from Fang Yuan, and the imperial court's eyes were here.

A factory employs 3000 people and involves [-] families. It was for the sake of stability that they continued to open the factory.

If we drive them away now, wouldn't all our previous efforts be in vain?
"Take me to inspect the factory!"

Changsun Wuji said with a dark face.

It was impossible to rush, but they couldn't be left idle like this.

Spending nearly a million to support idle people is like wasting the money.

"Please."

The factory director did not hesitate.

Taking Changsun Wuji with him, he walked out of the office.

The red brick factory covers a large area and has several parts.

There are multiple divisions such as the front yard, dormitories, dining halls, work areas, etc.

The front yard is where the conference and leadership are located, and the dormitory is closest to the front yard.

Before Changsun Wuji even approached the dormitory, he saw many people walking in and out of the dormitory, talking and laughing.

"It's during work, right? Why are there so many people in the dormitory?"

Changsun Wuji said with a dark face.

This is his first time to the Red Brick Factory, but he knows the Red Brick Factory well.

Dormitories are where workers sleep and come back only after get off work in the evening.

It's broad daylight, it's still working time, why are there so many workers coming in and out of the dormitory?
"This, this."

"The main reason is that there is no job, so they"

The factory director said squeakingly.

He knew about this and took care of it.

But if people have nothing to do and gather together for too long, they may cause trouble.

There had been trouble in the work area a few days ago, so the factory director divided them up.

When I wasn't working, I could go wherever I wanted as long as I didn't leave work, so I often went back to the dormitory.

After this default method was introduced, there was indeed no trouble in the factory, and everyone lived in peace.

"Damn it, did I pay them to come and have fun!?"

Changsun Wuji was so angry that his beard quivered.

But given his status, he cannot personally blame the workers.

Instead, he was very unhappy to visit other places and see what was going on in other places.

After walking for nearly half an hour, Changsun Wuji barely visited all the places in the red brick factory.

Finally, he stood in front of the warehouse, his face more solemn than ever.

During this inspection, he saw several things.

First, workers have no work and most of them are resting.

Second, the warehouse still has a lot of inventory, which can be used for a long time if there are no big orders.

Thirdly, there is no machine for producing red bricks. It was not there when it was handed over from Fang Yuan. It is only known now.

"The red brick factory does not have the machinery to produce red bricks. Did you only know that now?"

Changsun Wuji endured the anger in his heart and said in a deep voice.

"Sir, please forgive me, but the people below have never reported to me."

The factory director was so frightened that his face turned pale, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

He is the director of the factory, and there are many managers below him to manage various tasks.

As a factory director, he has never personally reached the grassroots level, nor does he have that idea.

It was only when he was patrolling with Changsun Wuji today that he learned about this situation.

If the people below don’t tell, he won’t know.

"I'm so disappointed in you guys!"

Changsun Wuji couldn't bear it anymore and slapped the factory director on the face.

He wished he could kill this distant relative in front of him, which would only bring trouble to himself.

The rest of the management should be damned, they didn’t report any problems they found, so what’s the use of them.

"Sir, calm down, sir, calm down!"

The factory director was so frightened that he quickly knelt down.

Although the two of them were related, he was extremely scared at this moment.

If Changsun Wuji wants to deal with him, even if the elders in the family plead for mercy, it will be useless.

"roll!"

Changsun Wuji kicked the factory director hard on the shoulder.

Then he strode out of the red brick factory without saying anything.

Subsequently, Changsun Wuji went to two other major factories for inspection.

The situation is similar, and the manufactured equipment has already been taken away by Fang Yuan.

This almost made Changsun Wuji furious and vomiting blood, because no one below reported it to him.When I asked, I saw that I was busy and didn't dare to interrupt.

But Changsun Wuji knew that it was because they didn't want to report it.

If they don't report it, they won't be fired and can live a leisurely life.

But if you report it, if the factory doesn’t even have the machinery, you may be fired.

In contrast, people are willing to pretend they know nothing.

Soon, Changsun Wuji returned to the official department.

It was almost dark when we returned to the official department.

Gao Shilian happened to get off work and wanted to ask Changsun Wuji about today's situation.

But as soon as he saw Changsun Wuji's face turning black to charcoal, Gao Shilian felt that something was wrong.

"The situation is serious?"

Gao Shilian strode closer and said in a deep voice.

"More than serious?"

"It doesn't get much more serious than this."

Changsun Wuji said angrily.

I briefly talked about what I saw today with Gao Shilian.

"Damn Fang Yuan, he turned out to have made plans a long time ago!"

"No wonder, no wonder he transferred it to us so readily!"

Gao Shilian was so angry that his face turned red.

It doesn't matter if nearly one million people have been idle for two months, the money will be spent as long as it is spent.

But he couldn't swallow this bad breath, especially the machine that Fang Yuan had moved long ago, and it took him almost two months to discover it.

That's abominable!

If word spreads, will their uncle and nephew still have face?

"Yeah, it's so damn abominable!"

"Uncle, what do you think we should do?"

Changsun Wuji said harshly.

The hatred towards Fang Yuan in his heart reached its peak.

But now, it's more about getting the problem out of the way.

"How to do?"

"I'm also thinking about what to do."

Gao Shilian sat down angrily, his face as gloomy as water.

Nowadays, houses are not being built in various places, mainly because of the lack of money.

If money is available to solve the problem of building a house, then the problem of bricks and cement etc. can be solved.

But now it is no longer these problems, but even if the problem of money is solved, what about the production machines?
There is no production machine, how about producing a hammer?
"Go to the emperor and ask him to come forward?"

The uncle and nephew were silent for a long time, and it was already dark outside.

Changsun Wuji finally thought of asking Li Shimin to come forward and ask Fang Yuan to hand over the machine.

"It's useless!"

"Not to mention whether he gives the emperor face or not."

"Even if we give the emperor face, we can't sell products after we have the machine!"

Gao Shilian shook his head and said.

The three major factories before them have many problems.

First, no one wants the products produced.

Second, there is no machine to produce the product.

Third, the workers have no work to do.

I want to fire workers, but the impact will be huge.

They took over the three major factories to solve the problems of tens of thousands of families.

Now if we have to deal with these workers, both of them will become a laughing stock.

"Then we can only be dumb and eat Coptis chinensis, and we can't tell the story of our suffering?"

Changsun Wuji said with an ugly face.

"It's the way it is now."

Gao Shilian had to nod.

Although the mood is as uncomfortable as eating shit, it can only be like this.

In the short term, I really have to spend money to buy my reputation, otherwise I may not be able to keep my official position.

After all, the problems of the three major factories were quite big before.

"Maybe it's really time to let Fang Yuan go back to work."

"Uncle, call Fang Yuan back to work. You arrange this work for him and let him solve it."

Changsun Wuji said in a deep voice.

To untie the bell, one must tie the bell. Fang Yuan did this, and Fang Yuan must have a solution.

If Fang Yuan refuses to do it, he will be impeached for disobeying his superiors, showing contempt for his superiors, etc. He will suffer the consequences.

"You are right, let's contact other people and ask the ministers to write to the emperor and ask the emperor to call Fang Yuan back to work."

Gao Shilian said in a low voice.

Indeed, only by letting Fang Yuan come back can the matter be solved.

"Then let's go separate ways. I'll go find King Wei."

Changsun Wuji said in a deep voice.

The uncle and nephew worked all night and were not willing to wait for a moment.

The consequences that Fang Yuan brought to them were too abominable, and they didn't want to let Fang Yuan rest leisurely anymore.

Moreover, every day of delay for the three major factories is a high expense, and the two major factories do not have so much money to waste on it.

Imperial Palace, Palace of the King of Wei.

"Uncle, you said you would fully support me in becoming the crown prince. Why, more than half a month has passed and my father still hasn't announced the candidate for the crown prince?"

Li Tai did not give Changsun Wuji a good look.

It has been a month and a half since the last time the emperor asked all officials to submit a letter on who they wanted to be the crown prince.

According to what was said before, the candidate for the crown prince will be decided within a month, but now it is out of date, and there is still no announcement of who the crown prince will be.

As the parties involved, both he and Li Ke were waiting anxiously. During the period, the two even fought openly and secretly and almost fought.

"Qingque, it's your fault that you can't escape."

"The month His Majesty mentioned is the month after the officials submitted the letter. He still needs to watch the officials' choices. In one month at most, your decision to become the crown prince will be issued."

Changsun Wuji laughed.

He was not sure how much time the emperor would have.

But it is almost a certainty that Li Tai will become the prince.

As his own nephew, it is impossible for other princes to become princes.

This is related to the future of his family, and Changsun Wuji will not be ambiguous on this matter.

"In that case, let's trust uncle again."

"Don't worry, uncle, I will go to my father to explain the situation early tomorrow morning."

Li Tai pondered for a moment and nodded.

Now he needs to rely on Changsun Wuji in many aspects, and Changsun Wuji's requirements must naturally be met.

In fact, no matter how extreme the conditions were, Li Tai could only agree. After all, the relationship between the two parties resulted in sharing weal and woe.

"Okay, uncle will go talk to other people."

Changsun Wuji nodded with satisfaction.

If you want Fang Yuan to go back to work, you must create a general trend.

Otherwise, Fang Yuan would still postpone going back to work for other reasons.

After all, it was awkward to go back to work with his original subordinates, and the relationship between the two was not good.

"I'll see my uncle off."

Li Tai supported his fat body and sent Changsun Wuji out.

On the other side, there is the palace of King Shu.

Changsun Wuji found out about Li Tai soon.

Now both sides are staring at each other, and the slightest movement can startle each other.

There is no way, Prince Yuan's time has come, and we can't let go of the chain at this time.

"hateful!"

"Changsun Wuji, Gao Shilian!"

"Li Tai, Li Tai, third brother is so envious of you!!"

When Li Ke learned about it, he clenched his fists in anger.

Li Tai's mother's family was too powerful, and the two chief ministers of the court supported him.

Not only could his mother's family not be able to support him, but it was actually a burden.

In this regard, compared with Li Tai, I am really very different, very different.

"Come here, prepare the best gift. I am going out of the palace to meet Sister Xiangcheng to reminisce about the past!"

Li Ke knew that he had to take measures.
