Daming: I, the emperor who trains the carpenter

Chapter 72 Work without paying, is there any reason for it?Are there any laws?
"Let him in!"

Zhang Haogu nodded.

Afterwards, Cui Chengxiu came in, and as soon as he saw Zhang Haogu opened his mouth, he said "two".

After seeing Zhu Youxiao next to Zhang Haogu, he abruptly held back the second uncle.

"Your officer has seen Zhang Butang!"

Zhang Haogu looked at Cui Chengxiu amusedly, and said, "Master Cui? You are here so late, what's the matter?"

Cui Chengxiu: "I wanted to come here earlier, but it took me a while to teach tonight!"

Zhang Haogu nodded and asked, "What's the matter?"

Only then did Cui Chengxiu say: "Master, please take a look!"

While talking, Cui Chengxiu still took out a thick stack of materials in his hand, and then said: "This is some materials compiled by the lower officials during this period, population, skills, and age!!"

Zhang Haogu took a few glances, then nodded: "Lord Cui is paying attention!"

"Do things for the people and serve the emperor!"

Cui Chengxiu glanced at Zhu Youxiao, who was silent on the side, and righteously opened his mouth and said: "Zhang Butang, I have some suggestions!"

"But it doesn't matter!"

Zhang Haogudao.

Cui Chengxiu said: "The meaning of the lower official is whether Zhang Butang can ask the emperor to rebuild the three halls!"

"The three main halls hinder people's livelihood!"

Zhu Youxiao on one side frowned: "The emperor is benevolent, so he stopped building the three halls. The remaining money is used to help the victims. If the three halls are built again, not to mention the waste of money, it will make people's livelihood difficult!"

"This little brother!"

Cui Chengxiu said: "You only know one thing, not the other!"

Zhu Youxiao was stunned instead: "What do you mean?"

"These three halls are the face of the imperial court, and repairing the three halls can naturally promote the prestige of the Ming Dynasty, which is one of them!"

Cui Chengxiu continued: "Besides, little brother, have you ever thought about who will build these three halls?"

On the contrary, Zhu Youxiao was taken aback for a moment, and asked, "Who is it?"

"Of course it's the craftsmen from Yongding County. They went to repair the three halls. The imperial court used part of the silver to build the three halls. Naturally, they have to pay the craftsmen. Only when the craftsmen have money can they buy some households!"

Cui Chengxiu said: "Currently, we rely on the imperial court to appease the refugees in Yongding County. Although it is to reclaim wasteland, how much wasteland can be reclaimed around Yongding County? If things go on like this, we will not be able to make ends meet. What we need is to give them money." A whole new way out for a group of craftsmen, if they can develop this craft properly and build three halls, it can just fill the household!"

"As the saying goes, it is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish!"

Cui Chengxiu said: "The court needs it, and so do the craftsmen. In the past, the court used corvee to repair the three halls. Now, I think it should be paid!!"

"Give me money?" Zhu Youxiao fell into deep thought.

The corvee in the Ming Dynasty was divided into three types, one was Lijia service, which was the affairs of one li;

The group of servants who repair the palace are handymen.

Often they are craftsmen.

In fact, the social status of this group of people is also very low, and they built a palace in name, but they didn't get any rewards.

Don't think about wages.

You have to prepare your own meals.

In addition, it may affect your normal work and income.

However, your loss is only your loss, and the imperial court doesn't care what you lost.

But now, Cui Chengxiu proposed an idea.

To give money!
Of course, this was not brought up by Cui Chengxiu himself, but after Zhang Haogu discussed with Cui Chengxiu, he asked Cui Chengxiu to come over tonight and play Zhu Youxiao together.

Most of the other emperors of the Ming Dynasty would not have this idea.

First, this is the ancestral system, so it is not easy to do it.

Second, how cool is it to go whoring for nothing?Obviously it doesn't cost money, why do you have to spend money?

Tonight, I also came to test Zhu Youxiao's thoughts.

Seeing that Zhu Youxiao fell into contemplation, Zhang Haogu nodded slightly at the side: "It's interesting!"

"It's easy to give money!"

Zhu Youxiao paused again, and continued: "I have another question, what happens after the three halls are completed?"

Yes, this little emperor has become more and more independent thinking.

Zhang Haogu also felt very relieved.

"After these three halls are repaired, they can also gain a reputation. If the emperor can reward the craftsmen, that would be great. With the reputation, you can take on more business, such as building houses for the nobles in the capital!"

Cui Chengxiu continued to talk about her thoughts: "In this way, they can have a profitable business for a long time, and they won't have to ask the court to pay money to support them all the time!"

"That's true. These dog officials are really not short of money. This is a good idea!"

Zhang Haogu nodded approvingly.

"That's a good idea!"

Zhu Youxiao nodded: "In my opinion, you can try it. Zhang Butang, you have to play the emperor's song well!"

"It's not in a hurry!" Zhang Haogu smiled and said: "Master Cui, I have to trouble you to draw up a regulation. After you and I have discussed it, we will come to play the Son of Heaven!"

Cui Chengxiu immediately said: "Your official understands!"

After Cui Chengxiu left, Zhu Youxiao said, "Master, do you think this method is feasible?"

"I think it's feasible!" Zhang Haogu said with a smile, "However, the cooperation of the emperor is still needed?"

"How to cooperate?" Zhu Youxiao asked curiously.

"For example, the minister, the emperor said that the minister has worked hard and made great achievements. The emperor is sympathetic to the humble minister, and specially appointed craftsmen to expand the mansion of the minister. However, the money must be paid by the minister, and then a number is set for the minister. For example, to give money, How much does a worker need to pay for a day, and the income from this labor must be at least three to five times the income from farming!"

Zhang Haogu said: "The emperor's kindness is so great, do you dare not accept it? As for saying that the minister has no money, how is that possible?"

Zhu Youxiao's eyes lit up, then he nodded and said, "This is a good idea!"

"Your Majesty, these artisans used to have no money. It would be a good thing if they were allowed to make money. This rule is established. Not only the Emperor, these artisans will also build their own houses when they earn money. Will continue to hire these craftsmen to build houses for themselves!"

"Only when you have money can you consume. This is related to taxation. The court still needs to clarify a new tax system, anyway!"

Speaking of this, Zhang Haogu paused slightly and continued: "It is a matter of course that wages are paid for part-time workers. Labor is also money. If people don't pay for their labor, is there any reason? Is there any law? Is there a law?"

Cough!

Zhang Haogu coughed violently a few times, damn it, it seems that there is no such law.

Zhu Youxiao nodded approvingly, and then he said with some surprise in his tone: "This Cui Chengxiu, I saw him tired and lazy in the past, why does he seem to be a different person these days?"

Zhang Haogu smiled slightly: "The emperor really wants to know?"

Zhu Youxiao became curious and said: "The master once said that their thoughts are deeply ingrained, and they need to be given a correct guide. I don't know how the master guided them?"

Zhang Haogu smiled slightly, and said slowly: "But it's simple, I said before, everything is nothing more than a word "benefit", in order to impress people, they will naturally become diligent!"

"What did the master do?" Zhu Youxiao asked.

"I told them the identity of the emperor!" Zhang Haogu said.

"What?" Zhu Youxiao almost rolled his eyes out: "You revealed my identity to them?"
