At this time, most of the Datang workshops are using the assembly line production method proposed by Li An, the benefits of this are obvious, can greatly improve labor efficiency, after all, always repeat a process, for the mastery of proficiency, must be extremely beneficial, as for this will lead to the craftsman boredom and fatigue, then there is no need to consider, in the face of efficiency, the craftsman's boredom and fatigue is relatively secondary, and the ordinary people of Datang in this era are very hard-working people, And there is no fear of fatigue and boredom.

The hard work and fatigue of the craftsman are visible, everyone can be sure that the craftsman is a tiring job, but as the owner of the workshop, in fact, it is not easier than the craftsman, but it is not easy for people to see, others see the rich people's lights, but they can't see that behind these things, there is too much bitterness and helplessness, as well as endless destruction of their own bodies.

Running a workshop not only requires money and talents, but also needs to have a good relationship with the various yamen of the imperial court, among which any joint can not be ignored, otherwise, any small yamen can make a stumbling block for the workshop, and even shut down a workshop, so that investors suffer heavy losses.

In the early stage of the operation of the workshop, it is necessary to invest a lot of money to build houses and other facilities, and to purchase machines and call labor, as well as various raw materials and consumables required for production, there are many places that need to spend money, and it is also very fragmented.

If all the items needed are purchased and managed by the owner of the workshop, it must be very hard and tiring, but in order to obtain high-quality and low-cost raw materials, the owner of the workshop must personally ask about these things, especially in the case of insufficient funds, but also need to personally ask about many things, body, and often go back and forth in the workshop to see if the craftsmen are working hard, whether there is laziness, and as long as the workshop owner appears, The craftsman will involuntarily speed up the pace of work, so as not to be seen by the workshop owner, and thus lose the job opportunity that he has won so hard.

Therefore, it is very hard to set up a workshop, and the test of people is very large, and all aspects must be taken into account, and any small mistake may cause irreparable losses.

For example, Yang Yurou said that the price of wood suddenly increased by 30%, in fact, it was not that the timber merchant wanted to increase the price, but because she negotiated the price to buy the first batch of wood, and the subsequent work of buying timber was handed over to the people below, and as a result, the people below wanted to eat some kickbacks and get a little benefit for themselves, so they deliberately asked the timber merchant to find an excuse to raise the price, but when Yang Yurou personally checked the accounts, he found that the price of timber was different from what he remembered, so he personally ran to the door to find the timber dealer to settle the account.

The timber merchant did not dare to offend Yang Yurou, and at the same time, he did not dare to offend the people below her, so he could only use the upstream timber price increase to prevaricate, as a result, Yang Yurou naturally disagreed, forcing the timber merchant to supply according to the original price, otherwise, the timber merchant would be sued to the yamen for punishment.

In fact, in the construction of the perfume workshop facilities, the demand for a certain kind of wood is not large, but only one of the raw materials need to be purchased, and as a result, it should be a negligence on their part, and the people below want to eat kickbacks, so they have to let her spend more money.

And there must be more than one such thing, except that the people below her will have ghost ideas, the subordinates of her two sisters are not very clean, and there are some merchants, and the quality of the samples given is slightly different from the goods provided in large quantities.

In addition, there is the most critical point, that is, this perfume workshop belongs to the three sisters of the Yang family, and the three sisters theoretically have to pay evenly, but because Yang Yurou's contribution is the largest, it can be slightly less in terms of funding, however, this is a little more and a little less, it also needs to be carefully calculated, a little bit of bad handling, it will seriously affect the relationship between their sisters, and the three families will inevitably fight each other, and many times they will be hindered, which will delay the progress of the project again and again, and seriously affect the existing progress of the project.

At this time, in order to allow the project to go smoothly and expand the production capacity of perfume, the three sisters must be present to deal with the dispute in person, and only when they come forward to negotiate can the internal fighting finally be quelled, which also takes a lot of time and energy, and it is difficult to ensure that these subordinates will not continue to fight and cause chaos to the three sisters.

In short, the busyness of many days in a row made Yang Yurou exhausted, and she really wanted to take a good rest and calm down, but Yang Guozhong actually came at this time, which made her very unhappy, but it was not very annoying, after all, people also came with smiling faces.

"Hehe, these are small things, we don't talk about these unhappy things, my sister hasn't been to the palace for many days, do you know about the big things that happened in the palace?"

Yang Guozhong asked in a low voice.

"Something big happened in the palace, what's the situation?"

Yang Yurou looked at Yang Guozhong with a curious expression.

"Your Majesty is unwell, and he hasn't left the palace for many days, and besides, except for the concubine and the people around him, he hasn't seen anyone."

Yang Guozhong opened his mouth and said.

Yang Yurou looked surprised, her eyes widened at the boss, and she said: "In the past few days, my two sisters and I have not come back in the workshop, and I don't know what happened in the palace, what kind of illness Your Majesty has, it is so serious. ”

"No one told you about these subordinates? Almost everyone in the city knows, but you still don't know, early this morning, the crown prince and princes, as well as officials above the fourth grade, almost all went to ask for peace, and His Majesty still didn't see it, and the imperial doctor only said that it was not a big deal. ”

Yang Guozhong said.

Yang Yurou frowned and said, "These damn guys, they didn't tell me about the things in the palace, it's really damn, what does my brother think, you might as well say it directly." ”

Yang Guozhong lay in Yang Yurou's ear, told all his various guesses, and asked Yang Yurou to go to the palace to ask the concubine to see what was going on with the emperor, so that he could feel at ease.

"My brother's dog slave is really bold, he dares to suspect that His Majesty has a hidden disease, I really don't want to live, what a big dog guts."

Yang Yurou was also taken aback when she heard this speculation, this kind of thing must not be said nonsense, it is more terrible than the crime of killing the head.

"Don't worry, I've already reprimanded this dog minion, but what happened to Your Majesty, we still have to know in advance! Why don't you go to the palace and ask the concubine? ”

Yang Guozhong opened his mouth and said.

Yang Yurou sighed and said, "The old lady has been tired for the past few days and can't walk. ”

"Sister! This is a big deal, even if your leg is broken, you have to go, if you feel uncomfortable, let my brother help you rub it. ”

Yang Guozhong flatteringly kneaded Yang Yurou's thighs.

"It's not comfortable anywhere, a little bit up, a little more, it's uncomfortable inside, it's so itchy!"

Yang Yurou unconsciously made waves.

"Okay, sister, let's go to the couch and discuss it slowly."

Yang Guozhong said with a smile.

Of course, now that she knew that the emperor was ill, Yang Yurou would definitely go to the palace, and nothing could stop her determination to go to the palace to inquire about the situation.

After tossing for a while, Yang Yurou agreed to Yang Guozhong's request very happily, and tomorrow morning, he would go to the palace to greet the emperor's condition.

Yang Guozhong left from Mrs. Qiuguo's house with satisfaction, this trip he came very worthwhile, completely achieved his goal, he most hoped that the emperor could live a few more years, it was best to live longer than the prince, so that the prince who was offended by him could not succeed to the throne, so he could only choose other princes as the prince, so he only had to please the next prince.

Of course, if the real history had not occurred in the Anshi Rebellion, Li Longji might not have died of depression so early, maybe he could really live longer than the crown prince Li Heng, after all, Li Heng only lived for more than 50 years in history, only about half a month longer than his father Li Longji.

And the premise of all this is that Li Longji is depressed and is locked up in a very small range, while Li Heng is the king of a country in the Tang Empire, if the situation is reversed, it is estimated that Li Heng will die earlier than in history, and Li Longji will live many more years, it is very likely that a white-haired person will send a black-haired person, and no one can change this fact.

There is a reason why Yang Guozhong and his ilk dare to curry favor with the emperor with all their might and oppose the crown prince, probably because they see that the emperor's mental state is very good and he is a long-lived person, while Li Heng's state is not as good as Li Longji, and it is really hard to say who will die first, besides, he is always in a depressed environment, and Li Heng will age faster.

And this kind of thinking began to change after the emperor suddenly became unwell, Yang Guozhong was very worried that Li Longji's body would suddenly collapse, so that everything he got would be finished, and Li Heng's succession to the throne was his death.

Although the emperor said that he was fine, except for a very small number of people who knew the inside story, most people didn't believe it, they knew that the emperor was old, and it was reasonable for his body to suddenly have problems, how could people not get sick when they were old, and the older a person was, the higher the chance of getting sick.

Different people will inquire about the situation through different channels, and everyone shows their own powers, in order to find out what is wrong with the emperor as soon as possible, what diseases can make the emperor unwilling to see anyone, and there is no need to be quiet to this extent, and it has not appeared before.

Li An estimated that the emperor must be okay according to history, this old emperor has a long life, so he doesn't care too much about him, and doing what he should do is the most important thing, but because of the etiquette, other ministers go to the palace to ask for peace, and he also has to show his loyalty to show his loyalty.

On the first day, when they went to see the emperor and were refused, everyone was just puzzled, maybe the emperor was really tired and didn't want to see anyone, and when he went again the next day, he still didn't see the emperor, and the doubts in everyone's hearts doubled, and on the third day, the situation was still the same, which made the ministers and princes even more cranky.

Early in the morning, Li An ran to the palace very reluctantly, and as soon as he arrived in the palace, he saw a lot of ministers and princes waiting there, and the prince naturally had to be there.

At the side door of the palace, the three sisters of the Yang family also entered the palace together, went to find Yang Yuhuan, and wanted to ask about the emperor's situation, but because Yang Yuhuan went to Li Longji's bedroom early in the morning, they didn't see it, and they didn't dare to let the palace maid report it, after all, compared with the emperor, they are all small people, and the concubine taking care of the emperor is the top priority, how can because they are here, let the concubine put down the emperor and come to see herself, what they can do is to enjoy the scenery in the palace, quietly wait for the concubine to be free, and if you are hungry, you can directly order the palace to prepareThere is no problem with this.

There are already fifty or sixty princes and ministers near the palace, which is the most heavyweight in the Tang Empire, the prince is here to greet the emperor, this is the homework they have to do every day, usually they only need to see one time to go back, and because the emperor is not seen now, they are reluctant to go back for a while, so they gather outside the palace, which can be regarded as a kind of filial piety and care.

The ministers also came to show their loyalty, but at the same time, there were many major affairs of many countries, and if the ministers could not make up their minds, they would also hand them over to the emperor to inquire about in person, so some of them came with a fold.

"Your Majesty hasn't seen me for many days, how can this be good, the documents handed over by our criminal department are piled up in a thick layer."

"We also have a lot of documents in the military department, the right minister is sick at home, and His Majesty is also ill, so someone must come out to preside over the overall situation."

"What is the noise, you will not deal with these things yourself."

"Of course, we will deal with it ourselves, but there are some things that must be informed to Your Majesty, in case we make a mistake, we should revise it in time, you must know that once this document is issued, it will not be easy to change."

Several ministers gathered together to deliberate.

In fact, many major matters of the imperial court, they can deal with it themselves, or what do they want them to do, but for particularly important things, they still have to ask the emperor's opinion, or have informed the emperor of the handling situation, let the emperor nod, and then, the document can be issued, otherwise, once these important things are mishandled, they are afraid that they will not be able to bear this responsibility, so these ministers are naturally quite anxious.

In the eyes of many ministers, once Li Linfu returns to the west, the first minister of the court must be Yang Guozhong, there is no doubt about this, it can be seen from many aspects, but now, the emperor's health does not seem to be very good, and they can't figure out the specific situation.
