820 What rank is the knighthood?(28/50)

When he said these words, Old Man Pang was very excited, pulling the sleeve of this living official, and he would not let go of death.

In order to show his contempt, he didn't forget to spray his sticky spit star in the other party's face, just to express his incompatible position with him.

This self-sustaining and elegant official has never seen such a posture, holding the bamboo slip in his hand, which is a pass of the left and right branches, so not embarrassed.

Just as the tearing between the two people reached the white-hot stage, a solemn voice came from outside the door of the forging hall.

"His Majesty the Emperor has arrived!"

Hearing this loud communication, the craftsmen who had begun to work under their hands were busy and stopped their work.

Even the two or three craftsmen beside Gu Zheng hurriedly pulled Gu Zheng's shirt and made him turn around from the world of composition.

"Stand up, Your Majesty is here! Don't tear my beard again!"

When the officials on the side heard this sentence, they were shocked, and quickly dragged the old man Pang who was on him, cleaned up his clothes, and waited for the emperor to come.

It's a pity that, unlike the scene he imagined when he was the first to pay his respects to the deployment official, the young emperor walked past him without squinting, as if he hadn't seen him as a person...... Ignore him.

Instead, he strode in front of the genius craftsman in the mouth of the old man Pang, and with a slight wave of his hand, he let the attendant behind him spread the silk silk in his hand.

"Commendation order, the existing official workshop craftsman Gu Zheng, dedicated to his duties, intensive research and manufacturing, and invented a weapon for the benefit of the country and the people, which is of great use for the country. ”

"I am very pleased and I would like to commend you. ”

"Feng Gu Zheng is the title of a duke at the end of the Han Dynasty, and he can enjoy 50 stones, and at the same time he will be rewarded with a hectare of land, a house and a servant...... Chin this. ”

"Gongshi Gu Zheng, thank you!"

Wait, there's a lot of information here, he's knighted?

Hearing this commendation order from His Majesty the Emperor, not to mention Gu Zheng was stunned, the entire workshop, from the chief supervisor to the junior apprentice, were all shocked on the spot.

This is the first time in the world, this government-run workshop has been contracted by adhering to the practice of the old dynasty since the establishment of the new dynasty.

It has been going around for nearly a hundred years, and there has not been a craftsman who has received a knighthood from the imperial court according to the formal channels.

And this newcomer who has only been in the government-run workshop for two days...... He did it.

However, the issuance of this title is of great significance to the craftsmen in the entire workshop.

This means that in this workshop, anyone who can also have a contribution like Gu Zheng will also hope to receive the same reward.

This means that the craftsmen of the end profession in the eyes of the scholars also have the hope of getting rid of the constraints of their status and becoming an official with their own skills.

This is not just the glory of the craftsman, but the glory of the entire craftsman class.

Do you think this commendation order can keep these people who are closely related to it from being stunned on the spot?

Of course, the first to react was Gu Zheng, after a short period of surprise, he immediately returned to his original calm state, and lowered his hand in sackcloth, and firmly accepted this surprise reward.

"Grass people Gu Zheng, thank you, I hope that my lord will live a long and healthy life, and I hope that my Han will be prosperous and strong!

It wasn't until Gu Zheng shouted out this neutral slogan that he woke up the people around him, and these sturdy men were actually red with excitement, and they roared together behind Gu Zheng.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

This roar was imposing, and it was no worse than the order in the army.

Let Liu Che, who was standing in the middle of the crowd, enjoy the treatment that a king should have, and after a wave of existence with great satisfaction, Shi Shiran left.

And when Gu Zheng, who had been knighted, turned around, he found that his position in this workshop was even more delicate.

The craftsmen who were not familiar with each other could still nod their heads when they met.

But after Gu Zheng got this paper title in his hands, his colleagues immediately regarded him as a special group of people who focused on protection.

There were a few extraordinarily honest people who stood far away, and they didn't dare to provoke him at all.

Seeing this, Gu Zheng could only sigh lightly, the things in the bones of these craftsmen cannot be changed overnight.

And the promotion of the status of craftsmen is also a matter of great responsibility and a long way to go.

However, don't be afraid, he Gu Zheng is here, one day, the craftsmen around him will be respected as they deserve, and they will also be sought after like the skilled jobs of later generations.

Let's see.

Gu Zheng, who was delighted for only half a minute, put the commendation order and the title book into the package, and once again immersed himself in his design drawings.

Let the old man Pang, who was carefully observing him on the side, pinch his beard and nod again and again.

At this time, the official who issued the task standing on his left side was really quiet, he looked at the task order issued by the Shangguan in his hand, and then looked at the Pang Jian Zao beside him, and then gritted his teeth and handed over the task on the basis of the monthly task that was originally assigned to Gu Zheng's hands, and sketched it out.

"Okay, I'll make an exception for the sake of your old man Pang. ”

"I only hope that this master Gongshi named Gu Zheng will not disappoint his master. ”

You know, there are too many talents in this world, and a creation and invention can eat a lifetime now, counting on a person to continue to innovate?

Joke about it.

The half-believing clerk walked towards the next hall with the task paperwork in his hand, leaving Gu Zheng, who was self-contained, once again immersed in his own world.

And such a quiet time can be many months at a time.

When the people around him came back to their senses from the joy of Gu Zheng's knighthood, they began to worry about his follow-up work.

There has been no effect in these three months, Old Man Pang's face can barely hold on, this small half a year has passed, even if the court has a little spare money, there is no reason to raise a person for nothing.

Many craftsmen muttered a lot in private for this matter, because there was more Gu Zheng, a person who didn't work, and the extra work was naturally apportioned to other people's heads.

Do not suffer from the lack of wealth but suffer from inequality, it is people who have their own careful thoughts.

Just when these people's private muttering was getting louder and louder, and the old man Pang, who was dedicated to protecting Gu Zheng, was about to be unstoppable, Liu Che, who had not seen Gu Zheng's movements in the palace for a long time, remembered this craftsman who had personally rewarded him.

Now, because of the repeated illness of the Empress Dowager Dou, he has seized a lot of opportunities and gradually withdrawn the authority in the court into his own hands.

Because of his increasing power, there are more and more things to do at hand.

This can be in the vast documents, thinking of the existence of such a person as Gu Zheng, or relying on the annual border army generals to hand over the border warning, and asking for food, money, and people from the imperial court, so that Liu Che pulled Gu Zheng out in his busy schedule.

"Hey, Zhang Qian, how long have you said this official workshop hasn't handed over the fold?"

Zhang Qian, who heard this, was very upset, in this official workshop, he had never personally handed over any official documents for many years.

With the Ministry of Labor, how could those craftsmen who didn't know a few big characters deliver the documents to His Majesty the Emperor?

Just as Zhang Qian was about to consider what to say to Liu Che, Xiao Huangmen on the side lowered his hand and said a word, interrupting Zhang Qian's next words.

"Your Majesty, early this morning, handed over a letter from the outer door, with nine volumes of bamboo engraving scrolls and eight silk drawings, which were handed over by Gu Zheng, a public servant of the official workshop. ”

"There is a sealed seal made by the chief eunuch attached to it, because it involves the secrets of the imperial court, and it is now sealed in the database of the side hall, waiting for His Majesty to read it. ”
