Dominate Marvel

With a craft in his hands and a farmland at home, Wang Yousan felt so satisfied. It is said that when the King of Xia sent people to arrest Duke Yan Sheng, he still didn't understand and followed the gentry and scholars to curse the King of Xia. Now it seems that it is really inappropriate.

Think blushing.

It was the fallow season now. He had repaired the government office for the government some time ago. It was completed yesterday and he received the salary, which was a full seven hundred summer coins for two months. He was very happy.

You must know that Xia coins have a strong purchasing power, and one stone of new grain only costs one hundred Xia coins. Seven hundred summer coins are equivalent to seven stones of grain, which is more than 800 kilograms. A year ago, how many people could die for eight hundred kilograms of grain!

Of course, the granary at home is full and there is no need to buy grain. Building a new house can be put on the agenda.

Wang Yousan couldn't take any time off. While he was thinking about building a house, he felt itchy all over after a day's rest and wanted to do something immediately.

He sat under the locust tree at the door of his shed and couldn't help sighing: "It's true, King Xia, it's so good to plant four seasons a year, but it has to be left fallow... Ouch."

A stick hit his forehead, which made Wang Yousan jump up. When he looked back, he saw that it was his old father.

"I'll beat you to death for talking nonsense. Emperor Xia Wangsheng, you can talk nonsense?!" The old father hit Wang Yousan with a cane, and the beating made Wang Yousan run away.

"Dad, don't fight, you're too busy."

"If you have nothing to do, go to Qufu and have a look." The old father leaned on his stick and took a breath: "Zhang Ermazi passed by this morning and said that the government is recruiting workers again. You are so weak in your bones and sighing like something Look."

"Go right now, go right now!" Wang Yousan ran away.

His home is in a resettlement village outside Qufu City. When the resettlement village was first established, most of the people resettled here were homeless people, so they were all shanty towns. But now, at a glance, many villagers are already building new houses. It won’t be long before the place looks brand new.

Wang Yousan went all the way to Qufu and entered the city gate. There are no soldiers at the city gate like in the previous dynasty. Now there are no soldiers, and there is no poll tax collected from the city, which is a lot more convenient.

After entering the city, Wang Yousan wandered around for a while and met an acquaintance. He is also a craftsman and we have worked together before.

This man was in a hurry and was stopped by Wang Yousan. He was angry, so he calmed down when he saw that it was Wang Yousan. Said: "The third son is here too?!"

Wang Yousan was confused: "Where are you going, brother Shi? In such a hurry?"

When the craftsman surnamed Shi heard this, he knew that Wang Yousan didn't know about it, so he smiled and said: "There is new news from the government, and it is our craftsman's business. Why don't I just come and take a look."

When Wang Yousan heard this, his eyes lit up and he said, "Is this the matter of our craftsmen?"

You must know that since the establishment of the Xia King's government, whenever there is news from the government and who is related to it, those people must be of benefit.

Immediately, he dragged the craftsman named Shi and ran away.

I also met many colleagues along the way, and the closer I got to the county government, the more I met. When we arrived at the county government office, it was already crowded with people. There were probably thousands of craftsmen blocking the gate of the county government office.

Wang Yousan looked left and right, dragged the craftsman named Shi to the side, climbed up a big willow tree, and his eyes suddenly opened up.

After a while, several officials came out of the county government office. In an instant, there was silence.

The official raised his voice and said in a very loud voice: "Dear elders, everyone here must be aware of the matter of your Majesty establishing the Trade Union Management Department."

Many craftsmen are ignorant, how do they know? I just saw others coming, so I followed them. Not many people know.

Seeing this, the official smiled and said: "There is it on the notice at the intersection ahead. I will say it again here. King Xia established the Trade Union Management Department, which is under the Ministry of Mo and is in charge of the world's craftsmen. It is stipulated that craftsmen can reach the level of master craftsmen. Register with the Management Department, enjoy the benefits of being a master, and assume corresponding responsibilities."

Said: "The county's trade union management department has been completed. All craftsmen present who are confident in their craftsmanship can go to the management department for assessment. Once passed, they will receive a monthly salary of two hundred summer coins and be included in the humane list. .”

The official added: "What the Humanity List is, I can't explain here. If someone can be on the list, it means he has caught the eyes of the king. Think about the benefits, most of them know it. Great craftsmen enjoy salary, on the second day of the month Hundreds. When the government has a need, it must obey the call unconditionally. And once the government has something to do, there will be an increase on the basis of the basic salary of two hundred per month. In addition, if a craftsman has any new inventions, the patent will also be recorded in the Management Department. . Once a patent is determined, others cannot misappropriate it. Once discovered, they will be severely punished. A certain share of the profits directly derived from the technology will belong to the craftsman."

The craftsmen present were all concentrating and did not dare to say a word. For a moment, no one made a sound or even moved.

"The Department of Management does not limit the types of craftsmen. Whether they are masons or blacksmiths, whether they are carvers or carpenters, they are all treated in the same way. Everyone, your Majesty values ​​craftsmen and treats them so favorably. You must have a good life to hone your skills. If you can become an official The status of registered master craftsmen is also different."

Finally, he said: "In addition, the Huitong River in Jining is about to start dredging and renovation projects. There are craftsmen present who are good at this and will register later and go to Jining to work in the near future."

Huitong River is the section of the Grand Canal in the north of the Yangtze River. The Grand Canal is the hub connecting the north and the south, so Ying Yi will naturally not leave it alone. Now that things are going smoothly in Shandong and Gyeonggi Province, the dredging and renovation of the Grand Canal has entered the countdown of the Ministry of Pastoral Affairs, with water conservancy and transportation ranking first in importance.

Things like Qufu happened one after another in various places. Craftsman management departments were established one by one, as low as the county level. From this, many great-level craftsmen were recruited, some of whom were sent to the capital, and some of whom were responsible for local construction.

The Ming Dynasty fell in the 16th year of Chongzhen, and Ying Yi had not yet ascended the throne. If the current year is still used, it would be the 17th year of Chongzhen (1644 AD). By the time of spring and summer, the Trade Union Management Department had been fully established under Ying Yi's rule. At the same time, the number of craftsmen who have passed the examination and registered as master craftsmen has exceeded 5,000.

This is a huge number, a number that makes Ying Yi happy.

The more masters there are, the smoother Ying Yi's plan will be. Before the establishment of the education system, craftsmen were the main force in Ying Yi's implementation of Yuan Qi's plan.

As for whether adding so many master craftsmen will put pressure on the Humanity Ranking - absolutely not. After almost annihilating the Donglu and defeating the Tatars, Ying Yi's energy surged again, from tens of millions to fifty million!

As a result, the number of places on the Humanity Ranking suddenly increased to 25 million. How horrifying is this? ! It is enough for a fraction of the entire world's population to be on the list.

However, the true spiritual number may be in danger of being exhausted. But Ying Yi already knew it.
