Chapter 383: The tiger's son came out of the scorpion!(2/3)

Zhang Qinglai heard the prince's murmuring and hurriedly said.

"The crown prince, 80,000 dan is a lot. Even if our Suzhou Weaving Bureau starts work hard, it will not cost 50,000 dan a year!"

Zhang Qinglai felt a lot, but Zhu Yunxiu still felt that it was not enough. If Zhang Qinglai knew that there was only a part of what he saw and that more raw silk had not been transported, he would probably be so angry that he would vomit blood.

"Crown Prince, why do you collect so many raw silk?"

"As far as the official knows, isn't your Maritime Service ordered silk?"

"Although silk is made of raw silk, it is not easy to make raw silk into silk. There are many links involved here."

"It has to be rinsed, reinforcing, spinning, and finally weaving."

"Our Suzhou Weaver Bureau only has thousands of looms. Even if we work hard, we can only weave tens of thousands of pieces a year, which is just enough for the palace to wear."

Zhu Yunhuang nodded and said when he heard this.

"You understand all the lonely people you said!"

"However, the reason why I collected so many raw silks must be of great use!"

"Just help Gu Haosheng take care of the warehouse and don't let it catch fire or lose it."

"In addition, Gu warns you to avoid losing or other things. The Ministry of War used to play with Gu before, but Gu Quan was captured by Gu Quan's Jinyiwei!"

When Zhang Qinglai heard Zhu Yunxi's threat, he hurriedly nodded like a chicken pecking at the rice.

He is only in his thirties this year, so he will not ruin his official career because of some money.

"Don't worry, the prince will send people here every day, so that he will never let any mistakes in the warehouse!"

"good!"

"Gu is expected to stay in Suzhou for a few more days, and he will have to leave Suzhou in a few days. Before leaving, Gu has nothing to reward you, so he will give you a shark suit."

"Shark suit?"

When Zhang Qinglai heard that it was this thing, his eyes were so excited that he shone with excitement.

Shark suits are jokes in the capital, but outside the capital, it is a myth.

Because there is a saying in the officialdom that you can wear the shark suit of the crown prince now, and you can wear the qilin suit of the new emperor in the future!

Whoever can get the shark suit will prove that who is famous in the crown prince’s mind!

"Thank you for your reward from the prince!"

"I am willing to go through fire and water for the crown prince..."

Zhu Yunyu nodded with satisfaction when he heard this, and his evaluation of Zhang Qinglai was one step further.

This is a fan of the official!

After Lao Zhu repeatedly taught on the beams of the house, Zhu Yunxi's mentality gradually changed to the emperor's thinking.

When the water is clear, there will be no fish, and when people observe it, there will be no disciples.

The same is true for the emperor to employ people. He is not afraid of you being greedy for fame, profit, or power. What he is afraid of is that you are not greedy for nothing.

Relatively speaking, if a person is greedy for fame and power, he can use official positions and titles to tempt him, so that he can devote himself to the court.

This is also the ruling logic and basis of the feudal dynasty.

If the officials of the court do not make a name for fame, profit, or be greedy for power, they will also think wholeheartedly about the court and His Majesty the Emperor.

Such a person is either a saint or a Davari clan.

However, for the feudal dynasty, it is impossible for the Davali clan to be included. As for the saints, how many have been produced in total for five thousand years?

Even if Lao Zhu hates corrupt officials and is as jealous as a hatred, he will turn a blind eye to the corruption of military generals and just vent his anger on civil servants.

Because in his simple logic, military generals are not afraid of death and civil officials are not greedy for money, and the country can be ruled.

Therefore, as long as a military general is not afraid of death when fighting, it is not harmful to greed for some money. As long as a civil servant is not greedy for money, he is greedy for name and power, he can also be regarded as invisible.

That night, Zhang Qinglai was hiding in the inn and was so beautiful in the shark suit given by the crown prince when he suddenly heard his subordinates breaking in panic.

"Master, the big thing is wrong, there is a fire in the warehouse!"

"A fire?"

When Zhang Qinglai heard these two words, he was so scared that he was about to whisper.

The crown prince attaches great importance to this batch of raw silk. If the crown prince knows, wouldn’t he have to peel it off?

"Prepare the sedan quickly!"

The warehouse is located in the northernmost part of Suzhou City, six or seven miles away from the prefect.

However, when Zhang Qinglai arrived in a sedan chair, he found that there were several tall horses standing outside the warehouse. The person who was leading the war horse was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!

Zhang Qinglai was so scared that he slid down from the sedan chair on the spot, and then rolled and rushed over.

"Damn it!"

"I am so humble that I will die. Please punish the prince!"

Zhu Yunxi looked at Zhang Qinglai in panic and sighed helplessly.

"Next time I encounter something unexpected, I have to ride a horse!"

“Yes yes…”

"You must keep your humble position in mind!"

"Get up!"

After Zhang Qinglai got up from the ground, he immediately joined the commander.

However, in Zhu Yunxi's opinion, this guy might as well not command. Once he commanded, the firefighting scene was a bit messy.

"Chang Jizu, go and call Zhang Qinglai back and tell him not to make trouble there!"

Chang Jizu had long disliked Zhang Qinglai. The treasury people tried to put out the fire. This guy went up and ordered blindly, and he didn't know what he was doing.

Therefore, he stepped forward without saying a word, grabbed Zhang Qinglai and pulled him back.

Zhang Qinglai cried when he saw this. He wanted to make up for his mistakes from the bottom of his heart!

"Your Highness, why don't you let the Beiyi command the fire!"

Zhu Yun's eyes rolled him.

"The people guarding the warehouse have their own plans to deal with the fire. If you go up and command blindly, it will be a waste of trouble!"

When Zhang Qinglai heard that he was at a loss in command, he hurriedly kowtowed.

"I know it's wrong. I will never command blindly this time. I will follow them to put out the fire!"

"you?"

"Put the fire?"

"yes!"

Seeing Zhang Qinglai's face was firm, Zhu Yunxiu immediately asked Chang Jizu to let him go.

"Go!"

"I want to see if you, the prefect, really dare to rush into the fire to put out the fire!"

Zhang Qinglai felt a little sad when he heard this. He originally wanted to carry a few buckets of water outside to express his determination to put out the fire.

However, after hearing what the crown prince said, he still wanted to let him get into the fire?

Zhang Qinglai hesitated for a moment and immediately gritted his teeth.

"Please go to put out the fire now!"

Zhang Qinglai was about to roll up his arms and sleeves when he suddenly saw the shark patch on his chest. He felt that wearing it was not suitable to enter the fire, but not wearing it would not indicate his identity as the royal grandson.

Therefore, he hesitated for a moment and rushed into the fire with a bucket of water and watered the piles of raw silk!

The rolling smoke made his eyes burst into tears, and the heat waves caused by the fire burned him, burning his hair.

However, Zhang Qinglai still poured buckets of water on the raw silk, hoping to express his loyalty in this way.

Zhu Yunxiu stood a little more than ten feet away from the fire scene, looking at the "big shark" flashing in the fire, and a smile of appreciation appeared on his face.

This person is a talent that can be created!

Shortly after Zhang Qing came to join the fire, the people from the city's firefighting team also rushed over in the firefighting train.

Two people were responsible for pressuring the water truck, and some people used copper pipes to pick up the leather pipes to slurry at the fire warehouse.

Although the water column is not high and not two stories high, it is enough for places like warehouses.

The fire in the warehouse was quickly extinguished, and only the initial fire point was still burning tenaciously. Even if it was wet with water, green flames still emerged from the raw silk burned into coke from time to time.

The people involved in the firefighting were shocked to change their color when they saw this.

"Ghost Fire!"

"This is the wronged soul seeking life, this is the evil ghost setting fire..."
