Chapter 1498 You can trick me to death
Liu Shi's face turned pale!
He didn't care about the nonsense about craftsmen being able to be officials and craftsmen being knighted. There was only one sentence that kept ringing over and over in his messy head right now - weapons supervisor, general supervisor, young mansion supervisor, no matter which yamen, as long as it was All metallurgical talents are poached by me...
Mother!
No wonder the powerful position of Young Superintendent of the Foundry Bureau could be placed on his head. Liu Shi initially thought that Fang Jun was trying to reward him for his merits, as a reward for getting a "no objection" promise from He Ruoming, so that the Ministry of War could Foundry Bureau was successfully established.
But I never thought that Fang Jun wanted to squeeze him dry with his stick. He betrayed his old face and begged He Ruoming, and had to go to those yamen to steal people again...
It is true that the status of craftsmen in the Tang Dynasty was extremely low. Although it was better than the Ming Dynasty's craftsmen's household system that was "not allowed to leave the country for life", they were still the lowest class of society.
In all the classics of the Tang Dynasty, craftsmen affiliated with the government appear with titles such as "Ding Nu", "Guan Nu", and "Hu Nu". It can be seen that government craftsmen are lower than civilians and private craftsmen. .
During the reign of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, there was a rule that "businessmen and businessmen are not allowed to enter officialdom." This was also inherited when the Tang Dynasty inherited the Sui system. This is what the law of the Tang Dynasty said: "Craftsmen are not allowed to enter other industries."
His Majesty Li Er once said: "The motley businessmen and businessmen, if their command skills exceed their peers, can only give generous wealth and property, but must not exceed the official rank, stand shoulder to shoulder with the virtuous gentlemen, sit and eat together." By the end of the Tang Dynasty, , this sentence is regarded as the golden rule to restrict businessmen from entering the officialdom. Although the social atmosphere became more open after the mid-Tang Dynasty, businessmen were still not allowed to participate in the imperial examination. Li Bai, who was extremely talented and beautiful, could not take part in the imperial examination for the rest of his life because of his status as a merchant...
Moreover, the household registration management of craftsmen in the Tang Dynasty was also extremely strict. "All craftsmen are divided into prefectures and counties. Five people are responsible for the fire, and one person is responsible for the five fires." "Worker name" is used to trace the quality of products. If you do a good job, you should do it. If you do a bad job and are traced, you will often be punished with the harshest punishment.
Craftsmen were registered in various yamen, and then engaged in production in the government yamen in the form of "forced labor". Craftsmen began to serve at the age of sixteen, and the service period was two to five months per year, which was almost longer than that of ordinary civilians. The period is more than doubled.
"Hundreds of workers are poor and have no time to rest." "Workers will have to work hard because of extra classes." This shows the difficult living conditions of craftsmen...
But this is only the social status of craftsmen, but it definitely does not represent the social value of craftsmen!
Yamen such as the Arms Supervisor, General Supervisor, and Shaofu Supervisor exist precisely to supervise the production of craftsmen. The merits of officials are judged based on their political performance. If the craftsmen are allowed to emigrate, the production tasks of our yamen will be greatly affected. How is it done?
Fang Jun asked Liu Xi to go to various work offices to recruit people, which was no different from those officials in the work offices grabbing food...
This is to make him the enemy of all the offices in Datang!
But what can he do?
reject?
I'm afraid that Fang Jun will fall out on the spot. Not to mention the achievements he got from persuading He Ruoming, he may be kicked away by Fang Jun...
Liu Shi was full of grievances, but had no choice but to see Fang Jun looking at him with searching eyes, so he could only say in a low voice: "I'm your official... I obey."
Again, how can a person not bow his head when he is under the eaves?
This head is bowed, even the spine is bent...
Liu Shi could only shout in his heart:
Fang 2, Fang 2, you can trick me to death...
*****
"Do you want to overthrow the world?"
His Majesty Li Er blew his beard and stared, wishing he could kick Fang Jun in front of him to the ground.
This mallet!
It feels uncomfortable if I don't cause trouble for myself for a day. I really don't know if I owed this guy in my previous life and he is chasing me to repay the debt in this life...
Fang Jun quickly took the opportunity to stand up, took a step back without being confused, and asked curiously: "Why did your Majesty say this?"
"Why do you say this?"
His Majesty Li Er threw the charter for expanding the foundry that Fang Jun had just presented to him in front of him, and cursed: "What the hell are you doing, you bastard? That crappy foundry hasn't even opened yet, so he started thinking about it. Expanded? You actually want to give craftsmen the opportunity to become officials and nobles... Do you think that I, the emperor, sit too firmly and are willing to cause chaos in the world? "
Before Fang Jun could speak, he heard a person next to him say slowly: "The craftsmen are all lowly people. They pretend to be above their peers in craftsmanship. They don't do farming and are greedy for comfort. They live indoors to avoid the wind and sun. They are afraid of the ridges of the loess soil and live alone." I am living in a shanty town, and I have gained many times as much profit as the peasants just by showing off my skills. How can I be given an official rank, stand shoulder to shoulder with the virtuous gentlemen of the court, and sit and eat together?”
This is the Dragon Palace. Fang Jun has just arrived at the palace from the Ministry of War to report to His Majesty Li Er on the affairs of the foundry bureau and request to expand its scale again.
Unexpectedly, not only was His Majesty Li Er dissatisfied with the promotion of the status of craftsmen, but there were also people who spoke with unabashed contempt for craftsmen...
Fang Jun looked sideways and saw that the speaker was standing beside His Majesty Li Er's case with his hands clasped behind his back. He was short in stature, with his arms hunched like a mountain, and his shoulders buried in fear of showing up. Who said that there was a monkey painting like this on Lin Pavilion? "...Yes, it was the man who proudly said "I'm ugly, but I'm smart", and because of his ugly appearance, Xu Jingzong laughed loudly at the funeral of Empress Changsun and was demoted by His Majesty Li Er. Ouyang Xun......
Fang Jun once met Ouyang Xun once, and his impression of this great writer was not very good. He felt that not only was his character a "house slave with four surnames" who had "changed ownership" several times, but he was also a sharp-tongued and mean-spirited man. Like a gentleman.
At this moment, hearing Ouyang Xun comment on the craftsmen with a look of contempt made Fang Jun extremely unhappy.
Perhaps everyone in ancient times despised craftsmen, but Fang Jun, who was born in the new century and grew up under the red flag, knows that craftsmen are the real cornerstone of a country’s productivity!
It’s okay for His Majesty Li Er to despise and laugh at the craftsmen. After all, he is the emperor, he is the biggest...
But who do you think, Ouyang Xun?
Just because your handwriting is good?
Haha, Cai Jing, Dong Qichang and others may not be worse than you...
Fang Jun sneered, glanced sideways at Ouyang Xun, and said: "Even so, those slaves with the fourth surname who lived in Qin and Mu Chu, and who have breasts are their mothers, have the right to live in the temple? Those who only know how to write and write, have neither knowledge of government affairs nor production, and are idle. What qualifications does a useless rice insect have to be awarded an official rank, to stand shoulder to shoulder with the noble men of the court, and to sit and eat together?”
Ouyang Xun almost vomited out the old blood and said angrily: "Shuzi! How dare you insult me like this?"
He was going crazy!
The last time I saw Fang Jun, he slapped the title of "house slave with four surnames" on his head. Somehow, this word spread out of the palace, causing him to be laughed at.
Now again!
Why is this bastard so annoying?
It was completely different from his father, Fang Xuanling, whose temperament and demeanor were as gentle as jade and made people feel like a spring breeze!
Fang Jun refused to give in: "Come on, come on, Mr. Ouyang, let me tell you, which sentence insulted you?"
Ouyang Xun was so angry that his face turned red, his mouth was trembling and he was speechless.
Most of it is because I don’t know what to say...
The term "household slaves with four surnames" disgusted him to death, but if he thought about it carefully, he couldn't say that Fang Jun was talking nonsense. Who told him that Ouyang Xun had a bumpy life? If he hadn't been soft-tempered and drifted to both sides, he would have died eight hundred times a long time ago. Now his bones are all rotten. How could he be fighting with Fang Jun here?
His Majesty Li Er is really helpless!
Does this stick think that if you piss someone off, you won't have to pay for it with your life, or what?
You have to poke hard at someone's scar, and you have to sprinkle a handful of salt on it...
That's too much!
His Majesty Li Er glared at Fang Jun and shouted: "How can you talk? No big or small, please apologize to Mr. Ouyang quickly, otherwise I want you to look good!"
Fang Jun knew that His Majesty was not actually very angry, but the Emperor's face must be given. He just pretended to hold his fists and said reluctantly: "I apologize to Mr. Ouyang... You don't remember the faults of villains, and you won't talk to them." The juniors are generally knowledgeable, right? The juniors are young and have little experience. I have never seen the rebellious behavior of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, nor the unworthy bravery of Yu Wenhua and Ten Thousand People, nor have I appreciated the heroism of Dou Jiande in Hebei... Therefore, the younger generation has always respected and respected you for the wonderful opportunities in your life, you He is a role model for the younger generation!”
Ouyang Xun felt a little relieved when he heard Fang Jun's apology at first. As Fang Jun said, he is just a junior, why should he be the same as him? Furthermore, it is said that this son has your majesty's trust and has a very good relationship with the prince. He will definitely be in the court in the future, and he may even become the prime minister. It is really inappropriate to have an enmity with him.
But after hearing the second half, Ouyang Xun was so angry that he almost had a cerebral hemorrhage...
Boy, didn’t your father teach you not to slap someone in the face? (End of chapter)
