Chapter 306: To Be a Good Pioneer of Reform (I)
Before Zhu Yunwen had time to enjoy the New Year's holiday, the left capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Yushi Jingqing, came to the door.
"What is he doing here?"
Hearing that Jing Qing asked to see him outside the Qianqing Gate, Zhu Yunwen was stunned for a moment: "There is an impeachment case in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate below the fourth rank will supervise and deal with it on its own, and if it involves officials above the fourth grade, he should go to the Wenhua Hall to report to the cabinet, and come to me for the emperor to do something?" ”
How long has it been since he, the emperor, has personally handled an impeachment case?
"Let him come."
Zhu Yunwen glanced at himself up and down, and he simply didn't bother to change his clothes. After explaining to Ma Enhui, he raised his legs and walked in the direction of Qianqing Palace in a casual dress with a big shirt.
"I won't let people live in peace for the New Year, this Jingqing."
Shaking his head as he walked, he stepped into the Qianqing Palace with his front foot, and Zhu Yunwen joked with his back foot: "The ceremony is exempt, tell me what kind of things can make you, the dignified Zuodu Yushi Da Nian, come to me, there is a word first, if it is not a big event, I will cut off the month you added for the New Year." ”
Jing Qing laughed twice, and when Zhu Yunwen sat down, he sat down and reported.
"In the past few days, the Metropolitan Procuratorate has received a lot of impeachment letters, impeaching Wang Yusen, the prefect of Suzhou."
Suzhou prefect?
"It's just a prefect, and you are looking for it with such a dignified Zuodu imperial history...... You say Wang Yusen? The county order that was with Xu Buji in Changshu at the beginning? ”
Seeing Jingqing nodded, Zhu Yunwen was interested: "Tell me carefully, what happened to this kid." ”
"It's not a matter of committing a crime."
Jing Qing looked at the emperor's face quite relaxed, so he told the affairs of Suzhou Mansion and the situation one by one, and Zhu Yunwen was dumbfounded.
"This thing expands the production of Suzhou embroidery in Suzhou, and it also needs to raise funds to run a cloth workshop and implement the same work system for men and women?"
The several impeachment notebooks handed over by Jing Qing were read by Zhu Yunwen one by one, and laughed out loud after putting them down.
No wonder this Wang Yusen was impeached, he Zhu Yunwen was still thinking about how to properly open up the barrier between men and women on the front foot, and Wang Yusen on the back foot actually started male and female workers in Suzhou in order to expand production.
Desperate to think about change, nothing more than that.
"This Wang Yusen's plan is to recruit a group of half-grown children between the ages of twelve and fifteen, and at this age, there shouldn't be too many filthy things."
Who said that this Jingqing is a brainless person, this is not very eye-catching.
Seeing Zhu Yunwen laughing after reading the impeachment of Wang Yusen, Jing Qing knew that the emperor should be biased towards Wang Yusen, so he took the initiative to defend Wang Yusen.
A group of half-grown children, even if they understand the affairs of men and women, do they have that strength?
There are no yellow flower girls who are female workers, but they are all wolves and tigers in their thirties and forties, and they don't look down on each other.
Zhu Yunwen didn't take the matter of male and female defense too seriously, but this sentence made him frown slightly.
Wang Yusen: Is this planning to use child labor?
But think about it, Wang Yusen's choice is precisely the best win-win choice for all parties in this time background.
First of all, in the context of the primitive era of relying on textile machines to weave, the amount of manpower directly affects the strength of productivity, and there is only one kind of worker who can enter the weaving bureau to participate in production in this era: women.
The defense of men and women is by no means a lie, and even the management officials of the entire Jiangnan Weaving Bureau have no men, and the eunuchs of the imperial front of Qingyishui.
I'm afraid that there will be too much rumors.
You said that you threw a few old men into the weaving bureau, and it didn't take long for a female worker to hurt the joy, do you say that the master of the family or let the official sleep?
In these years, there is no paternity test, let alone divorce, if the husband suspects that he is wearing a cuckold and shouts, this woman will not survive.
Therefore, the manpower required for the expansion of the weaving bureau is very narrow, and the range of selections is very narrow, not for adult men, and not for the yellow flower girl who has not been out of the cabinet.
The only ones left are the children.
Pure hand-woven work, children can also do it, compared to farming is much easier.
This is one of the reasons, and the other is also for the benefit of the people.
Although Suzhou is a big mansion, it is impossible for every family to be well-off.
Suzhou is densely populated, according to the proportion, every household does not have a few acres of land, the children of the average family are the same as peeing and mud since childhood, eating bran and drinking sparsely grown, do not help the family to work, and have no money to read and write, always can not be a teenager in the streets and alleys as a green skin.
Find some work for these children, and the wages they earn will be enough to support the family.
The use of child labour is of a different nature in different contexts.
At least in the current Ming Dynasty, even in Suzhou Prefecture, Zhili Province, which can be called the heart of the country, the use of child labor is a matter of benefiting the country and the people.
As for the so-called premature burdening of children with labor, will it hurt the body?
Is it tired of farming or weaving.
"This Wang Yusen is an official with ideas and courage."
Zhu Yunwen suddenly became interested in this Wang Yusen, in this era, there is still this kind of standard-bearer who dares to act as the vanguard of reform?
"The matter of impeachment is dismissed, forget it, press down and do not reply. In addition, double happiness, arrange for someone to go to Suzhou to summon him, I want to see him. ”
In the same province of Zhili, Nanjing to Suzhou, the fast horse can arrive in one day, and there is no delay in any work.
Jing Qing's heart jumped, Wang Yusen was so angry about this matter, he was stunned to put himself into the emperor's heart.
Moreover, the emperor played this hand wonderfully, if the impeachment transcript is rejected, then the hat that destroys the defense of men and women will have to be worn by the cabinet and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and then the rumors and rumors will be criticized by the center.
As long as the cabinet does not travel to support Wang Yusen, then the black cauldron will be carried by the Suzhou Mansion itself, but the emperor summoned Wang Yusen, which is not only an encouragement and reward, but also a signal to the outside world.
Pay attention when you speak in the future, don't scold too harshly, the emperor supports Wang Yusen's matter, but he can't come forward to say it in person, as long as you officials are not blind, you can analyze the proportions in this.
Jing Qing resigned and retired, and Zhu Yunwen picked up the impeachment recital again and read it again.
He summoned Wang Yusen, where only Jing Qing thought so superficial, this was not only out of political considerations, but more of Zhu Yunwen's urgent curiosity about Wang Yusen.
How could the officials of the Ming Dynasty have such courage to challenge secular barriers and seek reform?
The wisdom of the ancients Zhu Yunwen will never be underestimated, but the actions of the ancients are almost all in a fixed circle, and there are few so-called overstepping behaviors that jump out, let alone this bold move to challenge the 'moral bottom line'.
This question pressed on Zhu Yunwen's heart, he must figure it out!
(The update is a little weak during this time, but it's almost over, and there will be a high-yield explosion around the 10th, so stay tuned.) )
