I was the emperor in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 203 Craftsman Hierarchy
Although they couldn't figure it out, they still felt like they were catching up.

The last time I entered the courtyard, it was a large courtyard with a large square in the middle and several spacious warehouse-like things on the four corners.

"This should be the warehouse for storing supplies."

Yang Rong explained to Li Tian,

"Your Majesty's guess is correct. The Tiangong Institute needs a lot of supplies every day because it needs to develop various things."

"If they are all shipped from the warehouse of the Ministry of Industry, it will take time and effort, not to mention that sometimes it may delay things."

"So Weichen discussed with Zhou Shilang and built this temporary storage place for materials."

At this time, the back door just opened, and a team of horses and horses came in with various supplies in large carts and small carts.

Seeing that the dean of the Tiangong Institute and Mr. Yuanzheng were there, the official of the Ministry of Industry who was in charge of transporting the supplies suddenly jumped.

Quickly salute,

"The next official sees Mr. Dean, Mr. Yuanzheng!"

That person's rank was a bit low, and Li Tian was not wearing a dragon robe at this time, so he didn't recognize Li Tian's identity at a glance.

Seeing that he just saluted the two of them but ignored Li Tian, ​​Yang Rong and the two turned pale, for fear that Li Tian would misunderstand.

Just as he was about to explain, Li Tian waved his hands at them and said in a low voice, "You don't have to!"

Although he said so, the two still felt very uncomfortable.

I feel like I said to that person, "Okay, it's none of your business here, hurry up and get busy with your business!"

After the person left, Li Tian said slowly,

"Although this place is just a warehouse, the things stored in it may be extremely important in the future. Let's send some people to take turns to guard it!"

Zhou Zhen quickly said, "Yes, I will arrange it now."

Li Tian waved his hands and said, "There's no need to be so anxious."

"After the observation just now, I also found some problems, let's find a place to chat for a while!"

Hearing this, the two of them became even more frightened, for fear of hearing some words of reproach from Li Tian.

Be more cautious.

Li Tian's prestige is growing day by day, even though they are all one of Li Tian's closest friends, they are very respectful when facing Li Tian.

Listen to the constant cheers and cheerful chatter coming from the front yard.

Li Tian knew that it was the craftsmen's imagination of the upcoming bright future.

My heart is also very happy.

The completion of Tiangongyuan marks that craftsmen all over the world finally have a goal worth fighting for all their lives.

They are no longer a low-status craftsman who is bullied and dares not speak out.

And there are less than 10 craftsmen in the world.

For such a large group, a simple edict by myself has brought about earth-shaking changes to them.

If Li Tian was not touched, even he himself would not believe it.

Once upon a time, he was an ordinary white-collar worker who couldn't even control his own destiny, but now he has become an emperor who decides the life and death of all people and the prosperity of the world.

Fate is impermanent, but wonderful, how lucky I am.

After sighing, he found a clean place to sit down.

Standing aside, Wang Fu, who hadn't said a word, was very discerning, and put a square handkerchief in his arms under his buttocks.

He sat down, and several other people didn't know whether they should sit down with him, but they were still standing, looking a little panicked.

Li Tian pointed to the open space next to him, "Sit down, aren't you tired from standing?"

A few people smiled awkwardly, and quickly found a place to sit down.

Li Tian sorted out his thoughts slightly, and then said,

"Tiangongyuanyi, it's just a waste of time, and I'm still very satisfied with your various arrangements."

Zhou Zhen Yang Rong hastily cupped his hands,

"Your Majesty is absurd, and the ministers dare not take credit for it."

With a smile on the corner of Li Tian's mouth, he continued,

"The Tiangong Institute is just the beginning. In the future, the Medical Engineering Institute and the Kitchen Engineering Institute are not far away."

"I pay the most attention to Tiangong Academy not only because it is the first one, but also the cornerstone of all sciences. I believe you can understand how important it is through these days' understanding!"

"Sir, you understand!"

"Now I will tell you about the points I just thought of, and you should take note of them carefully."

First, the research projects of the Tiangong Institute are extremely confidential until they are disclosed to the world. We must strictly prevent leaks, and you must handle this well.

Second, the officials and craftsmen of the Tiangong Academy, who have made great achievements, can be awarded titles in addition to rewards.

Third, set up a craftsman level promotion system, so that ordinary craftsmen can have the opportunity to be promoted from the lowest craftsman to the highest level of master craftsman.

Finally, there is the issue of the treatment of craftsmen. After the level of craftsmen is defined in detail, the treatment of craftsmen will be increased step by step according to the level.

My ultimate ideal is that all craftsmen who have worked for Tiangongyuan for more than 20 years can still receive a considerable amount of pension money every month after leaving due to injury or retirement.

Both Yang Rong and Zhou Zhen listened with their ears pricked up, for fear of missing any word.

They understand when they hear about secrecy, since they've done it before.

But after hearing that all craftsmen can obtain titles, they couldn't sit still.

After Li Tian finished speaking, Yang Rong couldn't help but said,

"Your Majesty, the Taizu said that in the Ming Dynasty, military exploits were the only way to confer titles. Once this example is opened, I am afraid it will cause great criticism!

Even if the veterans and others support your Majesty's decision, those generals who have worked hard for many years to be knighted will probably have a lot of opinions. "

Li Tian shook his head and said,
"You don't have to worry about this, Zirong!"

"I think very clearly that the title of a craftsman is different from that of a general. It is just a title of honor, and there is no such thing as a fief!"

Only then did Yang Rong breathe a sigh of relief,

"It turned out to be like this. Your Majesty's words really frightened the old minister!"

Zhou Zhen took the opportunity to say, "But in this way, isn't it too unfair to those craftsmen who have made outstanding contributions!"

Li Tian shook his head lightly, smiled and said,

"Zhou Shilang is willing to make a bet with me. If Tiangongyuan develops as expected, ten or twenty years later, even such a prestigious title will become something that students and craftsmen all over the world are eager for."

Zhou Zhen's expression faltered, and he dared not agree.

But Yang Rong said jokingly, "It's only been ten or twenty years. Zhou Shilang is still young, so he will definitely get it. If Zhou Shilang doesn't believe it, so what if he gambles with His Majesty."

Zhou Zhen gritted his teeth and said with a blushing face, "Well, I will spend these 20 years betting with His Majesty."

"Hehe, that's right. You young people should have some blood. Otherwise, if you are all old-fashioned and don't think about innovation, you can still make a few steps."

Although Zhou Zhen still had doubts about Li Tian's words, he also knew that Li Tian's words were rarely wrong, and maybe it would be true in the future.
