The Great Idle Person of the Zhenguan Era.

Summary

After the fire, the Fireworks Bureau was rebuilt with non-combustible materials. Li Su, who was penalized, didn't feel much pain but was worried about the future expenses. The bureau's workshop was destroyed, and the craftsmen were rebuilding it. Li Su calculated the costs and found that the allocated funds wouldn't be enough. He was concerned about asking for more money without getting bogged down in bureaucracy. Yang Yan, who was promoted to Lesser Supervisor, was diligent and busy with his work, which made Li Su and Xu Jingzong look lazy. They were lounging in the courtyard, watching Yang Yan, and felt displeased when he let out a disgruntled "Hmph" as he passed by. The two men activated their "little person mode" and shared a sense of camaraderie. Li Su admired Yang Yan's bravery but was unhappy with his meddling in affairs that weren't his concern. He believed that talent is best when specialized and that the fire bureau should focus on making fire arms. Xu Jingzong praised Li Su's lesson and was encouraged to learn from Yang Yan and take the good and leave the bad.
