"Such a trivial matter, there is no need to report it immediately, just pay attention to the report every three days!"

In a house, the subordinates of the Li Mansion got instructions and bowed out.

And the man in the house, frowning, said to himself a little puzzled: "This cement thing is really valuable?" ”

These people are none other than the eyeliner of Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

In the ninth year of Hongwu, the famous Jinyi Wei was not established. Zhu Yuanzhang used to monitor the people under his subordinates, and the people used to inspect the school.

In other words, this inspection can be regarded as the predecessor of Jinyiwei. Now there is only the duty of a secret agent, but there is no right to arrest or interrogate.

Specifically, the duties of the school inspector are: to be the main inspector of the injustice and lawlessness of the officials of the yamen in Beijing, as well as the rumors of rumors.

In later generations, many novels and biographies passed on the Ming secret agents to be superb, and it seemed that everything was in Zhu Yuanzhang's hands. This is obviously not possible!

Especially in the early years of Hongwu, what Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to monitor, that is, those civil and military officials in Beijing, and the means of surveillance could not be eavesdroppers or anything, but could only buy people, or simply install people and the like.

The Li family, of course, is the family that Zhu Yuanzhang focuses on, although this Li You is not a powerful figure in the Li family, but he married Hu Weiyong's niece, which is the link between Li and Hu, so among his subordinates, there are also secret agents of the school.

These spies are not concerned about the Li family's minor problems, in fact, if they really care about everything, they can't care about it. What they focused on was what officials the Li family had dealings with, what things they discussed, and so on. Because these things are what Zhu Yuanzhang is most concerned about.

If it weren't for Li You's sudden visit to Zheng Guogong Changmao and the county magistrate's deliberations, maybe the secret agent wouldn't have reported the matter.

The next day, the news about cement was also presented to Zhu Yuanzhang's desk, but it did not attract Zhu Yuanzhang's attention.

This word cement is too ordinary, and if it is replaced with divine mud, it may attract attention.

After dawn, Li You sat in a sedan chair and arrived at the county office, and then accompanied by the county order, led a large group of officials out of the city.

In fact, this situation is rarely seen.

Because at this time, the imperial power did not go to the countryside, and the local government was mostly the township elders. In the early years of Hongwu, just after the war, many places did not have a respected old man, who was in charge of affairs. On the county government's side, if there is something, just send someone over to inform you, and few county magistrates go to the countryside in person.

Coincidentally, the county lord rarely went to the countryside once, and it rained in God. Although it was a drizzle, it was unlucky enough.

So, in addition to the nobles sitting in the sedan chair, the other officials, as well as the attendants of the Li Mansion, were all drenched in the rain.

Under normal circumstances, at this time, the group will find a place to shelter from the rain and wait for the rain to stop before leaving.

However, Li You was also there, anxious to eat the fat meat of cement in his stomach, so he didn't say anything about taking shelter from the rain.

On the county master's side, he naturally took Li Youma as the leader, and he could only be a villain, shouting at the officials to hurry in the rain.

Unfortunately, although the rain was not heavy, it was impossible to pave the official road outside the city with stone slabs, and it naturally became muddy when the rain soaked.

It's okay for people to walk, but the carriage is a bit stuck in the ground, and someone needs to push it away.

In this way, the group did not arrive at Liujia Village until ten o'clock in the afternoon.

Although the rain has long stopped, along the way, everyone is full of resentment.

It's too sinful to go to the countryside!

Of course, they didn't dare to lose their temper at the county master, so they held back their stomachs, one by one, like a powder keg, which could explode at any time.

Of course, Li You didn't have an impact, not only did he not get drenched in the rain, but he also used snacks in the car. When he arrived at the place, he got out of the carriage and looked at it, and he was immediately stunned.

There is really no way, there are more than 100 households in the entire Liujia Village, all of which are two-story cement houses, and they are planned in a unified manner, under the staff of Zhu Jingjing, the willow trees everywhere are used, and from the outside, it is really a good place like a paradise.

Li Laifu got Li You's kindness, and he stayed in the car all the time, and immediately introduced Li You attentively at this time.

Originally, the officials arrived at the place, and although the rain stopped, they must have wanted to go to Lizheng and dry their clothes.

However, the county magistrate accompanied Master Li, and he didn't mean to move his steps at all, so they could only hold back, which was very unhappy.

"Let's go to the cement workshop!" Li You is most concerned about the cement workshop, of course, so after listening to Li Laifu's introduction, his heart is hot, and he can't wait to eat the cement workshop, so he naturally wants to go over to see what this cement is like for the first time?

At the same time, the county order also asked the officials to pass on the village of Liujia and the country boy named Zhang Yifan.

Although Li You did not wear an official uniform, the county magistrate wore an official uniform, and a group of wolf-like officials followed, so he entered the cement workshop freely.

Tian Dazhuang, who was in charge of the cement workshop, was ordered by the county order to explain the process of the cement workshop to Li You with trepidation.

In his life, he has never seen the county master! I would never have thought that the county master would come to the cement workshop, and he was immediately stunned.

This is different from Zhu Di and them coming, first, Zhu Di is in casual clothes, and second, they don't put up a shelf. But even so, Tian Dazhuang and these villagers only dared to watch from a distance and did not dare to approach.

Now, the county magistrate is wearing official uniforms and showing official authority, and these villagers who have never seen the world are naturally behaving like this.

Li You probably understood the situation of the cement workshop, and couldn't help but be very satisfied, and he was very happy in his heart.

He has seen the cement house and the cement road, and knows the situation of the cement workshop, and he can already determine that this cement is really a cornucopia.

He was being happy here, and suddenly, he heard a noisy noise outside, not to mention, the movement was really a bit big.

Of course, Li Xianling knew that it was probably the group of officials under him who sprinkled their rainy stomachs on these countrymen. At the same time, he also knew what Li You was here for, which could be regarded as giving these countrymen a dismount, which would help them achieve what Li You wanted later.

Thinking so, he wanted to curry favor with Li You, and specially shouted to the outside: "Come, bring people in!" ”

As soon as his words fell, people outside began to flock into the cement workshop.

Sure enough, I saw the men he had sent, escorting two people in. One of them, in his forties, and the other is a hairy boy, but his temperament is different from that of a countryman at first glance, which is particularly eye-catching.

What made the county magistrate even more unexpected was that behind these people, there were countless people surging into the cement workshop.

Suddenly, the county magistrate, Li You and others were dumbfounded.
