Liu Zheng's face turned white!

He doesn't care about the nonsense that a craftsman can be an official and a craftsman can be knighted, and now he has only one sentence in his head that rings over and over again - the ordnance supervisor, the general supervisor, the young government supervisor, no matter which yamen, as long as it is a metallurgical talent, they will all be dug up by the official......

!

No wonder the young eunuch of the Foundry Bureau, a powerful position, could be hung on his head, Liu Zheng thought that Fang Jun was rewarding him for his merits and rewarding him for asking for a promise of "no objection" from He Ruoming, so that the Ministry of War could successfully establish the Foundry Bureau.

But he never thought that Fang Jun's mallet wanted to squeeze him dry, and he begged He Ruoming for his old face, and he had to rob people with those yamen again......

It is true that the status of craftsmen in the Tang Dynasty was extremely low, although it was stronger than the artisan household system of the Ming Dynasty that "could not leave the country for life", but it was also the group of people at the bottom of society.

In all the classics of the Tang Dynasty, the craftsmen under the government are all called "Ding Nu", "Official Slave", and "Hu Nu", which shows that the craftsmen of the official government are inferior to the commoners and private craftsmen.

At the time of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, there was a provision that "industry and commerce are not allowed to enter the office", and the Tang Dynasty inherited the Sui system, which was also inherited, and the Tang Dynasty law "craftsmen are not allowed to enter all colors" refers to this.

His Majesty Li Er even said: "The industrial and commercial variegated people, if the order is more than the same class, they can only give generous property, and they must not exceed the official rank, stand side by side with the sages and gentlemen, sit and eat together." In the end of the Tang Dynasty, this sentence was regarded as a golden rule to restrict industry and commerce from entering the office, although the social atmosphere after the Tang Dynasty was opened, but industry and commerce were still not allowed to participate in the imperial examination. The amazing and brilliant Li Bai was unable to participate in the imperial examination for the rest of his life because of his status as a businessman......

Moreover, the household registration management of craftsmen in the Tang Dynasty is also extremely strict, "all craftsmen take the state and county as the group, five people are fires, and five fires are placed in one person", all craftsmen "are all in their names", "military weapons are in the name of the years and workers", in order to trace the quality of the product, it is necessary to do well, once it is not done well and is tracked, it is often punished with the most severe.

Craftsmen are registered in various yamen, and then engaged in production in the form of "forced labor" in the yamen of the government, craftsmen from the age of 16 to serve for two to five months a year, almost double the average civilian service period.

"Hundreds of workers are poor and have no time to rest", "will work for the service, because of the extra course, the craftsmen will suffer", it can be seen that the living conditions of craftsmen are difficult......

But this is only the social status of craftsmen, but it definitely does not represent the social value of craftsmen!

If the production tasks of the yamen of the Department of the Department are to be accomplished, if the craftsmen are allowed to leave the country, how can the production tasks of the yamen of the Department be accomplished?

Fang Jun asked Liu Zheng to go to various industrial departments to poach people, which was no different from those officials of the industrial departments grabbing food......

This is to make him the enemy of all the Datang Works!

But what could he do?

Refuse?

I'm afraid that Fang Jun will be able to turn his face on the spot, not to mention the merits he got before because of persuading He Ruoming, but he may be kicked away by Fang Jun......

Liu Zheng was full of grievances, but he was helpless, and when he saw Fang Jun's inquiring gaze, he had to say in a muffled voice: "Xiaguan...... Yes, sir. ”

is still the same sentence, how can people not bow their heads when they are under the eaves?

This head is so low that even the spine is bent......

Liu Zheng could only shout in his heart:

Fang 2, Fang 2, you will kill me......

*****

"Are you kid trying to turn the sky upside down?"

His Majesty Li Er blew his beard and glared, eager to kick Fang Jun in front of him to the ground.

This mallet!

If you don't cause something for yourself, you will feel uncomfortable, I really don't know if I owe this guy in my last life, and I will chase myself to pay off my debts in this life......

Fang Jun hurriedly took the opportunity to get up, took a step back without confusion, and said strangely: "Why did Your Majesty say this?" ”

"Why?"

His Majesty Li Er threw in front of him a copy of the regulations for expanding the Foundry Bureau that Fang Jun had just presented to him, and scolded: "What the hell are you bastards doing? What kind of casting bureau hasn't opened yet, and it's starting to think about expansion? actually want to give the craftsman the opportunity to become an official and become a knight...... Do you think Lao Tzu, the emperor, sits too steadily, and wants to cause chaos in the world before he is willing? ”

Before Fang Jun could speak, he heard a person next to him say slowly: "The craftsmen are all lowly households, if they are more than their peers, they do not farm, they are greedy for comfort, they live indoors to escape the wind and sun, they are afraid of the loess ridges and live in shantytowns, and they can obtain multiple the profits of the peasants just by showing off their skills, how can they be granted official ranks, stand side by side with the sages and gentlemen of the court, sit and eat together?" ”

This is the Divine Dragon Palace, Fang Jun has just come to the palace from the military department, reported to His Majesty Li Er on the affairs of the Foundry Bureau, and asked to expand its scale again.

Unexpectedly, not only His Majesty Li Er was dissatisfied with the promotion of the status of craftsmen, but also some people said that they did not hide their contempt for craftsmen......

Fang Jun squinted his eyes and saw that the person who spoke was standing on the side of His Majesty Li Er's imperial case with his hands in his hands, with a short figure, "shrugging his arms into a mountain, burying his shoulders and fearing his head." Who said that on the Lin Pavilion, draw this monkey"...... That's right, it was the one who proudly said "I'm ugly, but I'm smart", and because of his ugliness, Xu Jingzong loudly laughed at Ouyang Xun, who was demoted by His Majesty Li Er, at the funeral of Empress Changsun......

Fang Jun once had a relationship with Ouyang Xun, and his impression of this great writer was not very good, and he felt that this person not only had a worrying character of the "four family slaves" who had "changed hands" several times, but also had a tricky and mean mouth, not like a gentleman.

At this moment, listening to Ouyang Xun's disdainful expression commenting on the craftsman, this made Fang Jun extremely unhappy.

Perhaps in ancient times, craftsmen were despised by them, but Fang Jun, who was born in the new century and grew up under the red flag, knew that craftsmen were the real cornerstone of a country's productive forces!

It is okay for His Majesty Li Er to despise and ridicule the craftsman, after all, he is the emperor, and he is the greatest......

But what are you Ouyang Xun?

Just because you can write well?

Hehe, Cai Jing, Dong Qichang and others may not be worse than you......

Fang Jun sneered, squinted at Ouyang Xun, and said, "Even so, how are those slaves with four surnames who are in the twilight of Qin and Chu and have milk to live in the temple?" Those rice worms who can only dance and write ink, are neither familiar with government affairs nor production, and are idle and useless, what qualifications do they have to grant official ranks, stand side by side with the sages and gentlemen, and sit and eat together? ”

Ouyang Xun almost vomited out of a mouthful of old blood, and said angrily: "Shaft! How dare you insult me like this? ”

He's going crazy!

The last time I saw Fang Jun, he made a "four-surnamed house slave" and pressed it on his head, and somehow this word spread out of the palace, making him ridiculed.

And now again!

How can this bastard be so annoying?

It's not as warm as jade and like a spring breeze like his old son Fang Xuanling!

Fang Jun didn't give in: "Come on, come on, Mr. Ouyang is going to say something, which sentence insulted you?" ”

Ouyang Xun was so angry that his face was red, and his mouth trembled and he couldn't speak.

But most of it is because I don't know what to say......

The word "four family slaves" made him sick to death, but if he carefully broke it down, he couldn't say that Fang Jun was talking nonsense, who told him Ouyang Xun to have a turbulent life and encountered ups and downs? If it weren't for his soft temperament, he would have died eight hundred times ago, and his bones would be rotten at this time, where would he be fighting with Fang Jun here?

His Majesty Li Er is really helpless!

Does this mallet think that angry people don't have to pay for their lives or what?

I have to poke hard at other people's scars, and I have to sprinkle a handful of salt after poking......

It's too much!

His Majesty Li Er glared at Fang Jun and shouted, "How do you speak?" No big or small, quickly make amends to Mr. Ouyang, otherwise I want you to look good! ”

Fang Jun knew that His Majesty was not very angry, but the emperor's face had to be given, as long as he hugged his fist in a fake way, he said reluctantly: "I apologize to Mr. Ouyang...... You don't remember villains, so you won't be like juniors, right? The younger generation is young and has short experience, that is, they have not seen the perverse actions of Emperor Yang of Sui, nor have they witnessed the courage of Yu culture and Wanfu, nor have they appreciated the heroism of Dou Jiande in Hebei...... Therefore, the younger generation has always revered and admired the wonderful opportunities of your life, and you are a role model for the younger generation! ”

Ouyang Xun listened to Fang Jun's apology at first, and his heart was a little smooth, as Fang Jun said, he was just a junior, why should he be like him? Moreover, this son is quite trusted by His Majesty, and his relationship with the prince is also very good, and he will inevitably be in the court in the future, and it is even possible to go to the court to worship the prime minister, and it is really inappropriate to make enemies with him.

But when he heard the second half, Ouyang Xun was so angry that he had a cerebral hemorrhage and almost wanted to attack......

Boy, didn't your dad teach you to hit people without slapping your face?
