I, Jiajing, successfully cultivated immortality

Chapter 207 Officially abolish the craftsman registration system (seeking a monthly ticket)

Since then, another two days have passed, and soon it will be the day for the cabinet meeting.

In the morning, the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Jiajing put on his gown under the service of the personal eunuch, and Lu Fang who was on the side saw this, and quickly handed out the memorial in his hand, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, here are the activities and words and deeds of officials in the capital in recent days! "

"Well, put it there, I'll look at it later."

Jiajing was not in a hurry to pick up the memorial in Lu Fang's hand, but pointed to the book case beside him, saying so.

"By the way, have all the carpenters who made trouble go back?"

Jiajing turned his gaze to Lu Fang and asked.

"Your Majesty, according to your previous instructions, only punish the culprits, and never ask questions!"

"Except for a principal criminal named Ren Shiwang, as for the others, the government did not embarrass them too much, and let them go home."

Seeing Jiajing asking about this matter, Lu Fang quickly responded respectfully.

"Well, yes, find a day and deal with him!"

Jiajing was very satisfied with Lu Fang's answer, nodded and said casually.

"Yes, Your Majesty, this servant obeys!"

After receiving Jiajing's order, Lu Fang also responded in a deep voice.

After Jiajing finished all this, he immediately sat in front of the desk, opened the memorial that Lu Fang had submitted earlier, and began to browse the contents recorded on it.

After a long time, Jiajing slowly put down the memorial and sneered, "These guys really don't give up!"

"Even the Maritime Trade Department that I set up myself wanted to step in and get a piece of the pie! But fortunately, Gao Gong and the others understand what I mean, and dare not let them do whatever they want."

Seeing that the emperor was not in a good mood, Lu Fang who was at the side saw this, and hurriedly said respectfully: "Your Majesty, do you need a servant to send someone to go..."

"Well, you go and send someone to watch them first. If there is any change, just take it down! It can be regarded as a small warning to them."

Jiajing glanced at Lu Fang and ordered so.

"Yes, Your Majesty, this servant obeys!"

After receiving Jiajing's order, Lu Fang began to think about specific matters in her heart, and her expression became cold.

"Okay, accompany me to the cabinet."

"The slaves obey."

……

"His Majesty is here!"

What is different from usual is that Jiajing came very early today, and the eunuch in charge of the notification hadn't even finished the notification, and Jiajing walked into the cabinet.

Seeing the emperor coming in, everyone quickly stopped reviewing the memorabilia, knelt down on the ground, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, I will bow down to your majesty, long live my emperor!"

"Well, get up."

Jiajing glanced at the crowd, nodded, and said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After getting Jiajing's consent, everyone immediately returned to their seats.

"It's not too late, let's start now!"

Jiajing sat behind the bead curtain, looked away, and said loudly.

"I will obey your orders!"

Seeing that the emperor had already spoken, everyone responded immediately.

With the crisp sound of 'ding', Jiajing knocked on the jade pan beside him, which also meant that the cabinet meeting officially started.

Jiajing glanced at Lu Fang, who quickly stood up and said.

"Today's cabinet meeting, there are two things discussed, one is the formal abolition of the craftsman registration system, and the other is the specific matters of the Maritime Trade Department!"

After Lu Fang finished speaking, she returned to her seat, motionless like a statue.

"My dear friends, do you have anything to say?"

Jiajing turned his gaze to the crowd and said slowly.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, there are many disadvantages in the current craftsman registration system, so it must be abolished!"

"Based on this, Weichen came up with some measures last night, which can not only eliminate the hidden dangers brought about by the craftsman registration system, but also attract more talents for our Ming Dynasty."

As soon as Jiajing finished speaking, Yan Song stood up, held the memorial in his hand high above his head, and said in a deep voice.

"Lu Fang, bring it to me."

Jiajing was quite interested in the method proposed by Yan Song, and then ordered Lu Fang to the side.

Lu Fang quickly walked to Yan Song, took the memorial and handed it to Jiajing.

Jiajing opened the memorial and saw that it said.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I feel that since the craftsman registration system has been abolished, a more reasonable system should be proposed to manage these craftsmen. They can no longer be registered as craftsmen as before."

"Therefore, Weichen feels that in order to let these craftsmen work with peace of mind, their treatment should be raised appropriately! Weichen has investigated before this, and most of the craftsmen currently earn around 26 yuan. Weichen feels that, The income of artisans should be properly increased to forty qian, that is to say, it is equivalent to the income of farmers farming the land."

"In addition, because craftsmen have been discriminated against by other classes of society for a long time, the government should also publicize some skilled and conscientious craftsmen as models! Exempt them from corvee and give them rewards, and let other people treat the class of craftsmen. The inherent impression has changed."

"Finally, and most importantly, these craftsmen's children should be given the opportunity to freely choose their careers! Therefore, I proposed that the government funded a special free school to accept these craftsmen's children."

"If there are malleable talents among them, the imperial court should do their best to support them! In this way, not only will the previous hidden dangers be eliminated, but also these people will be grateful to the imperial court and be used by the imperial court."

After Jiajing read the contents of the memorial, he turned his attention to Yan Song, and praised: "Well, yes, the method proposed by Mr. Yan Ge is quite feasible. After a while, let's implement it directly!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Yan Song breathed a sigh of relief after receiving the emperor's praise, and responded respectfully.

"Since this is the case, then this matter has been settled. After the cabinet meeting is over, the cabinet will draft relevant documents to officially abolish the craftsman registration system!"

After Jiajing looked around, he stroked the dragon head carved on the dragon chair with his hand, and said loudly.

"I will obey your orders!"

Seeing that the emperor had made the final decision, all the officials quickly knelt down on the ground and said respectfully.

"Right now, the first matter has been discussed, and it's time to discuss the second matter!"

After a short rest, Lu Fang stood up again and said loudly.

"Report to Your Majesty, the Maritime Trade Department has been formally established, and all policies are currently being implemented in an orderly manner!"

As soon as Lu Fang finished speaking, Gao Gong stood up and reported to Jiajing.

"Gao Gong, your Maritime Trade Department is really popular recently! I heard that the officials who came to visit you almost broke the threshold of your family. Is there such a thing?"

After Jiajing listened to Gao Gong's words, a little smile appeared on his face, he raised his eyebrows, and joked.

"Your Majesty, there is indeed such a thing! Since the official establishment of the Maritime Trade Department, there has been an endless stream of officials who have come to visit me every day, which makes me tireless!"

"Of course, Weichen is not the only one who has this kind of trouble, the other two adults are also the same."

After Gao Gong finished speaking, he turned his attention to Yan Shifan and Zhang Juzheng who were aside.

"What does this high arch mean? Why do you have to drag me into it?"

After Yan Shifan noticed Gao Gong's gaze, he cursed inwardly.

"Your Majesty, it is indeed so. In recent days, many officials have come to visit me!"

"Report to Your Majesty, what Elder Gao Ge said is true!"

Seeing Jiajing's gaze shifted to him, Yan Shifan and Zhang Juzheng responded quickly.
