Chapter 389: Inspiring Craftsmen
"Don't be happy too early, everyone has the benefits, but everyone also has the responsibility." Qin Wang suddenly said, "From now on, every weapon and every process must be engraved on the scimitar, whoever smelts the iron, who builds it, the name and date must be clearly written, if something goes wrong, not only will the supervisor be punished, but also the person who will build it will be punished, do you have any problems?" ”
"No problem, this is the way it should be, we used to make weapons for the government or those families, and we had to leave our own names. The general is relieved, the general is benevolent and righteous, our group of people is not without heart, and we will never be able to do anything stealing and cheating, don't you say? The old craftsman just now greeted everyone and said.
All the craftsmen agreed.
"I also know that many of you craftsmen are hereditary, and you have been doing it for hundreds of years, and you have some secret recipes, unique skills, and so on. To be honest, these are all good things, they are all mysteries of your ancestors, and you are easily reluctant to show them, and there are even rules that are passed on to men and not women. But it's your kind of thinking that makes a lot of good things lost, which is really a pity. I hope that you will not cherish yourself, take it out, teach it to your apprentices, and teach it to every studious young person, only in this way will those good things always exist. Maybe many years later, you will also become the ancestors that future generations will admire. Qin Wang's words were astonishing again.
How do you know that as soon as this passage is finished, it will immediately be cold. The craftsmen looked at each other, and each one had a reluctant look on his face.
"Everybody doesn't want to?" Qin Forget asked with a smile.
The old craftsman saw that everyone was reluctant to speak, and sighed, "General Qin, those things are all handed down from the ancestors, if they are taught to outsiders, I'm afraid I'm sorry for the ancestors." ”
"Yes, General, I'm sorry for my ancestors!" As soon as the old man's words were finished, there were countless voices of approval.
"Sorry ancestor?" Qin Wu was not surprised, "How can you be worthy of your ancestors?" If you hadn't come to Akagi, you would have passed on those skills to your descendants from generation to generation, so that they would be worthy of your ancestors as lowly craftsmen for generations? When you are old, when you have no successors, those skills and experiences that the ancestors have worked so hard to create and accumulated over several generations have been lost, will you be worthy of your ancestors? You are so selfish and stupid! ”
Qin forgot a few words to expose the thoughts of these craftsmen who swept away their own treasures, and revealed them to the fullest.
The old craftsman's face was blue and red for a while, and the impact of Qin Wang's words on them was too great. For thousands of years, everyone has thought and done so, as if they had never thought about it according to Qin Wang's thoughts.
"Of course, you can't accept these statements for a while, and I won't force you. Let me say that the more apprentices you teach, the more benefits you will have. Teach a qualified apprentice, a reward of five taels of silver, in addition, as long as your skills are superb enough, and you have taught enough apprentices, good enough, you will be promoted. Those who are qualified apprentices of the church shall be appointed as junior craftsmen, and shall be paid five taels of silver per month. Fifteen qualified apprentices, intermediate craftsmen, ten taels of silver. Thirty qualified apprentices, senior craftsmen, thirty taels of silver. There were five among the apprentices
If a person is promoted to a junior craftsman, then the master will be promoted to a master craftsman, and he will be promoted to sixty taels of silver every month. Five of the apprentices were promoted to intermediate craftsmen, and I, Qin Wang, personally asked for an official position as a supervisor from the imperial court, and a monthly salary of one hundred taels of silver. The more apprentices come out, the higher your official position! ”
After listening to Qin Wang's words, the scene was in an uproar, these craftsmen all blew up their nests, it turned out that the apprentices of the church not only starved to death the master, but the master could also reap greater benefits, and even become an official. As officials, when did these low-born craftsmen think about this, and who would dare to think about this? This is the true glory of the ancestors.
"General, are you serious?" The old craftsman was so excited that he couldn't control his emotions.
"It's true!" Qin forgot to make a sound.
"Okay, the old man has to ask the general for a seven-grade general to be a prisoner!" The old craftsman seemed to have returned to his youthful days, and shouted vigorously.
The old craftsman also spoke out the hearts of all the craftsmen, and everyone shouted excitedly.
"General, are you giving them too much?" Li Fugui, who was following behind Qin Wang, asked cautiously.
When Qin Forget was chatting with those craftsmen, Li Fugui had already arrived. He saw the scene just now, and now Qin Forget is inspecting several workshops, and there are a lot fewer people, so Li Fugui asked Qin Wang.
What he said is not unreasonable, now that the Akagi Group is mainly military, even those soldiers who are desperate on the battlefield are not as rewarded as a junior apprentice here. Take the generals Yang Xuan and Dong Zhuang as examples, they are only ten taels of silver per month, and they are only the level of an intermediate craftsman, not to mention those craftsmen who are sixty taels or hundreds of taels, he is worried that the soldiers will be dissatisfied.
Qin Forget glanced back at Li Fugui and couldn't help laughing, Li Fugui was a lot darker and thinner, and his big face like white tofu turned into a black multigrain lump. It seems that after becoming the county magistrate of Chen County, he has suffered a lot during this time, and it is not without reason that Chen County has been managed by him in an orderly manner in a short period of time.
"Have you ever been?" Qin Forget smiled slightly, pointing to the rejuvenated blacksmith shop, "Look at them, do you think of them?" ”
Li Fugui looked in the direction that Qin Wangzhi pointed and saw that all the craftsmen were working enthusiastically. There is no such thing as laziness and grinding, and they all exert all their strength. There are also a few masters, taking advantage of the work to continue to teach a few apprentices next to them, sometimes the apprentices don't understand and can't help but scold a few words, looking at the expression of eager to chop off their heads and then pour everything they know into their stomachs. It is no longer like the master taught the apprentice in the past, guarding against thieves, and the apprentice has to ask for something to learn something from the master.
Everything is in full swing, a thriving scene, and there is no dissonance.
Li Fugui had nothing to say, although he and Qin Forget had only spent a few days in Xiashui Village, he was still very convinced of Qin Wang. A young boy can reach today's height, which is indeed enough for him, a small rural landowner, to look up to.
"Believe me, in a few years, we will have a myriad of skilled craftsmen of all kinds. When the time comes, they will be able to create countless sophisticated weapons, advanced tools,
If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools, and this is the truth. Qin Forget looked at the surrounding scene with satisfaction and patiently explained.
Qin Wang's words convinced Li Fugui.
"What's the matter, it's not easy to be a county order, right? Look at you, you've lost two laps and thirty pounds since I first saw you, right? It's a lot darker, too. Qin forgot to tease.
Li Fugui's old face flushed, "Yes, it's not good." I used to be a small landlord, that is, a village head, and I could manage the one-third of an acre of land at home. When I first became the county magistrate of Chen County, I didn't know anything, I made a lot of jokes, and I was scolded by Lord Jin. Sometimes when I'm tired and anxious, I want to pick a son and quit, but it's comfortable to go back to Xiashui Village to be the village head. ”
Qin Forget was amused by Li Fugui's embarrassed appearance, he felt that he hadn't laughed like this for a long time, "Then why don't you go back?" How did Jin Yandu scold you? ”
"Hehe...... Li Fugui laughed dryly, "The local chicken flew up to the branch and became a phoenix, saying that he didn't want to go back to be a local chicken." How does Lord Jin scold his subordinates? Master Jin is a scholar, and he doesn't scold people with dirty words, but he can scold people for a while. But Lord Kim has also helped me a lot, and if it weren't for Lord Kim who has been helping me, I wouldn't be able to hold on to where I am now. ”
Qin Forget was amused by Li Fugui and laughed constantly, "Jin Yan, that person just has a bad mouth, that is, you can bear him." He is now in charge of the three counties of Chicheng, and the entire three counties are the two county orders of you, it is estimated that he hates iron and steel, and wants you to grow up quickly and share the burden for him. I might as well tell you, I don't have a shortage of generals now, but there is a shortage of civil officials, you do a good job, I will let you manage a few counties if you can manage a few counties, provided that you have the ability. ”
Li Fugui was overjoyed, "Okay, subordinates should do their best." ”
"Tell me what you did in Chen County?" Qin Forget came to inspect the three counties this time, so he naturally wanted to ask Li Fugui how he governed his country.
"The subordinates are now mainly trying to pull people for Chen County, and the population of Chen County is too small. In the past few years, there have been a lot of losses due to disasters for several consecutive years, and now Qingzhuang has been absorbed by Chicheng, and the same is true for other counties, there are not many people, and it is difficult to absorb the population. Li Fugui couldn't help but complain.
"Stupid, guarding the golden hen, I don't know how to let it lay eggs." Qin forgot to scold.
"Golden Rooster? Where? Li Fugui asked suspiciously.
Qin Forget smiled without saying a word, stretched out his finger and pointed to the ground, "Here, your Chen County has the only iron mine in several nearby counties, if you don't know how to take advantage of such a unique advantage, then I will consider replacing you." ”
Li Fugui suddenly realized, "Thank you for the general's reminder, my subordinates know what to do." ”
"Do you still think I've given them too much?" Qin Forget nodded with satisfaction.
"I don't think so, I don't think I think at all." Li Fugui shook his head like a rattle, "They are all my God of Wealth, but they are not at all." ”
"Okay, since you say that they are your God of Wealth, then their remuneration will come out of your Chen County's finances." Qin Forget smiled slyly.
Li Fugui's face fell suddenly, he wanted to catch up with Qin Wang, but he still didn't have the courage after all.
