Looking at Zhu Youxiao's back, Yuan Guifei sighed helplessly.

Your Majesty, you are good at everything, but you don't have any moderation when it comes to children. Especially for these two daughters, it is simply pampered

If Yuan Guifei also traveled from the afterlife, then she would know that Zhu Youxiao's behavior was called a daughter slave.

Zhu Youxiao didn't care much about this, anyway, his daughter just wanted to be spoiled, unlike those two unlucky sons.

Even Zhu Youxiao has thought about it, and he must find a good husband for his two baby daughters in the future. And the fact that relatives can't participate in politics will be abolished when they turn around.

Of course, it is not really abolished, and there must be restrictions. Even the royal relatives are the same, and they will get it out for them when they turn around.

When the time comes, they will be separated when they have the opportunity in the future, anyway, for Zhu Youxiao, the world is so big, they should always be allowed to take a look. I'm afraid that when the time comes, these royal relatives may not be enough.

Walking forward with his hands behind his back, Zhu Youxiao glanced at Wei Chao and said, "Everyone has arrived?" ”

"Back to the emperor, it's all here. Several cabinet scholars, as well as six secretaries and several staff ministers from the General Staff Office, all arrived. Wei Chao hurriedly said.

Although His Majesty has not been in charge of affairs much in the past two years, and he is not as murderous as before, but now whether it is in the palace or outside the palace, the Manchu civil and military forces have more respect for Zhu Youxiao, or they are more afraid.

The prestige of this emperor can be said to have deepened day by day. In such a situation, no one dares to mess around, and no one even dares to talk nonsense.

The reason is also very simple, His Majesty is really prestigious, and he used to shout and shout and kill, but now the means of dealing with people are simply moisturizing things silently. No one dares to underestimate it, and if you are careless, you will be finished.

For their thoughts, Zhu Youxiao didn't bother to deal with them at all. To put it bluntly, don't you have the confidence?

The pro-army commander Yamen has already told everyone that no one should think about messing around, and there is only one way to die. In such a situation, there is naturally nothing to say.

When Zhu Youxiao came to the front, there were already people waiting here.

After everyone saw Zhu Youxiao, they hurriedly bowed and saluted.

"It's all excused." Zhu Youxiao said casually, and then sat directly on the dragon chair.

His eyes swept over everyone, and Zhu Youxiao said, "I brought you Aiqing here today because I have something to discuss with you. ”

Everyone was stunned, and they all waited for Zhu Youxiao to speak.

In fact, it's not like they've never seen this kind of scene, and it's not the first time they've seen it. It's just that there doesn't seem to be such a thing in the past few years, and Your Majesty doesn't take care of things much.

And today's scene reminds everyone of a few years ago.

"I've summoned you here today to talk about the Craftsman's Rating."

Zhu Youxiao had actually planned this matter for a long time, but it has never been implemented. At this time, it can indeed be taken out.

The Four People's Theory has almost fermented, and everyone has accepted it.

The so-called theory of the four peoples is the equality of the four people, of course, refers to the agriculture and industry and commerce. But in reality, it does not refer to these four identities of people, but to the four classes. By extension, it means equality for all.

Under such circumstances, it is also appropriate to put forward the policy of the Four People's Theory at this time.

Of course, there is another problem here, that is, although there is this theory, although the law has been moved, it has not been implemented and enforced very effectively.

Suddenly, everyone's thinking could not be reversed. Scholars are still ranked at the first level, and people are officials, with rights and status, but not the people below can provoke. It's just that in terms of legal status it is the same.

What Zhu Youxiao wants to do this time is to elevate the place of craftsmen. To put it bluntly, it is to establish a craftsman assessment system and evaluate craftsmen at a level.

And different levels of craftsmen have different treatments. Zhu Youxiao will move the treatment of craftsmen closer to officials, but on the surface, he can't say that he wants to do it in private.

And when these craftsmen took the benefits, the others saw it and naturally understood what was going on.

The meal should be eaten one bite at a time, and this matter is not in a hurry.

For Zhu Youxiao, this is just the beginning, and he believes it will be a good start.

Today, Zhu Youxiao brought everyone here, and the purpose was to give the craftsmen a good rating for this.

There was such a thing in later generations, Zhu Youxiao still remembered that his father said that he was a seventh-level fitter when he was a child, and he was full of pride when he said it.

In his father's words at the time, he could make guns by hand.

At that time, Zhu Youxiao was still young and didn't understand what this meant. But when Principal Zhu You grew up, or after he arrived in the Ming Dynasty, he understood what this technology meant.

A person who can make a gun has a lot to think about.

The folk of the Ming Dynasty can be said to be superior, all kinds of craftsmen and crafts are passed down from ancestors, these people guard these things to live, although many things have been lost, but there are a lot of them.

It is naturally impossible to collect these things together and bring these craftsmen together.

But if these craftsmen are allowed to take exams and give them the same treatment, even the same treatment as officials, then these craftsmen will definitely be willing to stand up.

Zhu Youxiao believed that by sending people from the Hundred Crafts Institute to organize examinations in all directions, a group of good craftsmen would definitely be selected.

By that time, I will have a craftsman to use. When recruiting workers in the future, you can directly shout by level, for example, you need a level 4 blacksmith.

And after the imperial court set the salary, if outsiders want to hire such workers, then they need to give a higher price. Because if the price is lower than the price of the imperial court, then the craftsman can go to the imperial court to work, why bother to give you a private job?

After all, in addition to wages, the imperial court also has all kinds of treatment.

In this way, the status of craftsmen will naturally be improved, and everyone will not always rush to the road of studying.

It's a thing, and it may cost money upfront.

As for whether there will be too many craftsmen to use?

That's impossible, and it won't happen for hundreds of years. The craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty can only be insufficient, and there will be a shortage of people everywhere.

Shipbuilding, cannons, steam engines, and trains are just a word, and you can use as much as you want.

The courtiers below didn't react for a while, but they understood after a little thought about such a thing as grading craftsmen.

After all, your majesty has done a lot of strange things today, and everyone has seen a lot. However, everyone is also aware that the current emperor has ideas.

By this time, many of the things that were made at the beginning have basically shown their power. This is also the reason why everyone admires the emperor more and more.

It's just that for a moment no one spoke, or didn't think about what to say.

Zhu Youxiao's gaze swept over everyone and said, "Does no one have an idea?" Or do you not know what to do? ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister thinks this matter is feasible."

At this time, a person stood up, with a serious expression on his face, but his tone revealed excitement, and he obviously looked supportive.

Zhu Youxiao looked over and found that this person was Yuan Yingtai.

Since he was taken down in Liaodong, Yuan Yingtai's life can be said to be very difficult, and he has been silent for three years.

After the collapse of the Donglin Party, Yuan Yingtai was of little use, and he was always snubbed by Zhu Youxiao.

It wasn't until a year ago that Yuan Yingtai was appointed as a waiter in the Ministry of Works.

At this time, the influence of the Donglin Party in the court is already very small, and it is no longer possible to reach out to it.

At this time, the strength of the court has basically been divided. In addition to Xu Guangqi, Han Yi, and Huang Kezhang in the cabinet, there are also the newly appointed Cui Jinglong, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and Zhou Jiamo, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, and everyone can be regarded as a small group of brothers.

But on the side of the staff office, Yuan Keli and Sun Chengzong hugged each other, Zhang Weixian and others continued to intervene, and at the same time, Cui Chengxiu and others supported by Wei Zhongxian can be said to be full of mountains and each of them is in their own way.

Under such circumstances, it is simply impossible for the Donglin Party to rise to strength.

Under such circumstances, Yuan Yingtai was naturally pulled back by Zhu Youxiao, because he really couldn't find any suitable candidates for a while, and the Ministry of Industry didn't dare to put a random person in this place.

So Yuan Yingtai is now a waiter in the Ministry of Works, and he is a left waiter in the Ministry of Works.

For Yuan Yingtai, even if he is the left waiter of the Ministry of Works, his life is not very good.

The court and the whole court excluded him, after all, there was no one above him, and there was no one below, he belonged to the kind that was overhead. If it weren't for His Majesty's protection, I'm afraid they would have been squeezed out by now.

Now above the six departments of the court, everyone is very competitive for each position, especially Xu Guangqi and Han Yi, the competition between these two can be described as fierce, and there was a lot of trouble for a while a year ago.

Seeing Yuan Yingtai stand up, everyone's expressions were different. Some don't care, some frown, and some show a gloating expression, which isn't very good-looking anyway.

For such a person as Yuan Yingtai. Everyone has their own ideas in their hearts, and he's just not very popular anyway.

Zhu Youxiao smiled. , although this Yuan Yingtai is not good at fighting, it is still good to engage in logistics and engineering, and it is okay to be an official.

This time, seeing that Yuan Yingtai was the first to come out to support, Zhu Youxiao was very satisfied.

Zhu Youxiao said: "Aiqing has any ideas, but it doesn't hurt to say it, as long as it is said well, I will definitely not be stingy with rewards." ”

"If you can make a plan for this, then I will leave this matter to you."

After hearing this, everyone's faces became a little ugly, and some people even began to stare at each other, ready to kick Yuan Yingtai and snatch this errand over.
