Chapter 129: It's Not Worth Keeping
The next day, Han Daxia left Xin'anzhuang with Pei Pochuan. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Steward Huang also took his leave, and his side had to continue to transport food and other supplies, and he also had to investigate who the assassin was.
For him, the matter could not be left alone.
He left the village and took with him the silver of Yang He's white flowers.
With the much-needed supplies and the recruitment of some craftsmen, many of Yang He's plans can also be implemented.
He first appointed Zhang Chugong as the head of the Public Works Hall, and concurrently served as the director of the Public Works Office, in charge of manufacturing, sending and receiving all kinds of public utensils, in charge of weights and measures and various molds.
At this time, everyone also suddenly realized that Yang He had appointed his younger brother Zhang Chuxun to be in charge of the munitions station, but his brother was excluded and was originally reused here.
Everyone in the village is very envious, there are several important halls in the council hall, and the public works hall has been vacant, and I can't imagine that Zhang Chugong is a general manager, and he also serves as a supervisor, all of which are key departments.
This technology is popular, and many people in the village have their own ideas, or let the children in the family learn a technology.
The new craftsmen were also surprised, they all inquired in private, and now the Zhang Chugong brothers, Hu Employment brothers and others, who are very valued in the village, were just routs before, and they didn't expect that they all became stewards and held high positions.
That Yang Xianggong is really eclectic.
Everyone is moved, and maybe in the future, they will also have a day of ascension.
Yang He gathered all the craftsmen to gather in the theater square, Yu blacksmith's family, his in-law Li blacksmith, the exiled blacksmith Niu Jin ingot, father and son, Zheng surnamed military craftsman, bricklayer Gu Jiu, Tao surnamed craftsman, stove household Jiang Fuhai, several potters, billet husbands, and two carpenters.
There are also Li Tiannan's brothers and sisters, almost sixteen craftsmen.
The professions are different, but at the moment they are all needed in the village, and the most important thing is a few blacksmiths.
The blacksmith also had a high status among the craftsmen, and if they worked together with the carpenters and bricklayers, the blacksmiths would sit at the table during meals.
Of course, he must not wash his hands or face, and if he washes his face and hands, other craftsmen will not allow him to sit on the table.
Yang He sat on the Huanghuali official hat chair, looking at the people in the audience, his chair was cushioned with a thick wolf skin, which was the wolf shot to death in the ruins of "Wukou" that day, which had been tanned and could be used as a cushion.
This wolf skin is more than two meters long, the hair is very thick, and it is quite comfortable to sit soft after tanning, and it is very warm.
There is hot tea on the side table, and there is a frightening fragrance on it, Yang He takes a few sips from time to time, and then has a delicate hand stove in his hand, which is given by the waves.
In winter, it's quite pleasant.
Yan Dezheng read out next to him, mainly the treatment and system of craftsmen.
Yang He intends to divide the craftsmen into contract workers and temporary workers, contract workers, at least three years, depending on the degree of technical secrecy, their scope of activities is limited, the most secretive, even can only be in Xin'an Village, not even the village gate.
If you keep it a little secret, you can do it in Xin'anji.
Temporary workers will be more free, but they must also work for at least half a year.
Their treatment will be divided into different levels, such as apprentices, technicians, technicians, etc.
Apprentices and technicians are divided into three levels: elementary, intermediate and senior, and each level is treated differently.
For example, senior technicians have a monthly basic salary of about one or two silver, as well as bonuses, and food and housing, and the house they live in can also belong to them after three years.
As for the technician, it depends on how many apprentices and even mechanics you bring out.
Their treatment is also better, with a monthly basic salary of at least two taels of silver, and the courtyard houses of brick houses will definitely be divided into a set.
Of course, there are standards for taking apprentices, and they are not brought at will.
The craftsmen below listened quietly, and they all had a sense of novelty, the rules of Yang Xianggong Zhuangzi were really different from other places.
But generally speaking, this treatment is very good, such as this fixed monthly basic salary, at this time there are busy festivals and leisure seasons, it is impossible to have a fixed monthly salary, let alone any salary for apprentices, but there is a fixed amount of money here every month.
There are also bonuses, which are more refreshing, the more you do, the more you do well, the more rewards you get, where have you heard of it elsewhere in this Daming?
The owner gives you a monthly salary, you should work hard, and there are even people to supervise and supervise, but here you are stimulated with materials.
Which is better or worse? They naturally prefer this.
It's just that everyone is strange, Yang Xianggong stimulates everyone to work hard, but what should I do if I can't use up the things that are made?
Of course, this is not their business.
Li Tiannan's younger siblings discussed excitedly, saying that his elder brother would definitely be rated as a senior technician.
The most exciting thing for everyone is this bag of food and accommodation, they all participated in last night's dinner, according to this kind of eating and drinking, the state city can not come down to the grade of five or six taels per month, and according to the current price of rice, everyone lives in the city, just buying rice every month, is a heavy burden.
Yang He actually gave them another choice, which was to live and eat and subsidize the amount of silver rice, so that they could start their own business.
However, after last night's experience, all the craftsmen unanimously chose to eat in the canteen.
As for the senior technician to get the house after three years, and the intermediate technician to get the house after five years, everyone didn't feel anything, after all, the time was a little farther.
They pay more attention to what is in front of them, such as this food, such as how much is the monthly basic salary, how to calculate the bonus, and what level they are rated at.
Everyone whispered, all of them were excited about starting a new life.
Blacksmith Yu smiled and discussed with his in-law Li Blacksmith, as soon as he saw Xin'anzhuang, he liked it here, and he was willing to settle down here.
On the same day, Yang Xianggong personally visited, and it seemed that he was a senior technician, and his in-laws were skilled, and he might also be rated as a senior technician.
Then three years later, each house was started, and there was a home in Xin'anzhuang, you know, how difficult it is to prepare a house in Pizhou City.
Thin, tall and powerful, Gu Jiu, who was blind in one eye, listened to everyone's words, while thinking about his skills, although he went to Pizhou, his skills did not fall, and he should be rated as a senior technician, and then ......
His heart was hot, and he remembered that after the daughter of the Hun family left Luzhou with him, he had been hungry for a long time, and he couldn't help but feel sad.
Jiang Fuhai was a little frightened, his thin wife Zhou stood beside him miserably, the two of them inquired, there is no work to boil salt in the village, what can a stove household do here?
If Xin'anzhuang is also precarious and can't settle down, how can you find your lost daughter?
Jiang Fuhai was secretly anxious, he didn't ask for much, just a junior technician, and even an apprentice could do it, as long as he could eat enough and have a place to live.
Li Tiannan listened to the whispers of his younger brother Li Tianxi and his sister Li Zhuniang beside him, but he was uncertain.
To be honest, he still wants to go to Beijing to cast cannons, but it's just ......
Forget it, let's save a sum of money first, and then talk about it, and if you work in the village for three years, you should repay Yang Xianggong for saving his life.
Hu Employment and Zeng Youyu don't know what happened today, and they always walk around the square.
Among them, Hu Zhizhi always turned not far from the blacksmith Yu's family.
Once encountered, he turned not far from Li Tiannan's brothers and sisters.
Li Tiannan's sister Li Zhuniang glanced at them curiously and thought, "These two are so strange. ”
There was an exciting discussion in the audience, only the warcraftsman surnamed Zheng frowned, his face flickered brightly and darkly, and his heart was full of depression and hatred, and he had the idea of leaving.
In fact, when the military craftsman who came with him was about to leave in Pizhou City that day, he was already hesitant.
When he met the assassin on the road, he secretly regretted it, feeling that Xin'anzhuang was not peaceful.
At dinner yesterday, other craftsmen were elated, but he shook his head, that Yang Xianggong will not live, he is poor and luxurious, and the gold and silver mountains will also be lost, it seems that Xin'anzhuang will soon decline, and when the tree falls and the Hu is scattered, I am afraid that it will affect myself.
On the stage, the strict steward of Zhuang Zhong read out all kinds of rules, and the military craftsman surnamed Zheng frowned even more, there are too many rules, and you have to take care of how you work.
What bonuses are there, what future house divisions, he didn't listen to them, this kind of sweet talk, has he listened less in this life?
In the end, when I heard the selection of technicians, the key was to see how many apprentices and even technicians were brought out, and he was even more trembling all over, this is to break the rules of the industry!
In the iron line of Pizhou City, a shop is allowed to bring two apprentices at most, how much does Yang Xianggong want everyone to bring?
This church apprentice, starve to death of the master, then Yang Xianggong blatantly wants to break the rules!
Yang Heding's system and regulations, all kinds of treatment, he can't say one, two, three, four, but he faintly feels that something is wrong, it seems that there will be a monster about to be born here.
This made him feel very frightened, not to mention that a large number of blacksmith apprentices were brought out, how would his children and grandchildren make a living in Pizhou City in the future?
He muttered, "Excessive...... It's too much...... Breaking the rules ......"
He muttered, unconsciously louder, and finally everyone heard.
Yan Dezheng stopped in surprise, Yang He frowned slightly, and said lightly: "What did you say?" ”
All eyes were on him.
The military craftsman surnamed Zheng looked at everyone's eyes, especially Zhuang Ding, the leader of Xin'anzhuang, who all looked cold, and couldn't help but be frightened.
He fell to his knees with a thud, and said in a panicked voice: "...... Not...... The villain didn't say anything...... The villain begged Yang Xianggong to spare ......"
Yang Hedao: "Just now, you went too far and broke the rules?" ”
Hu Chengcheng and Zeng Youyu have been walking around the square, and they are all striding at this time.
Hu Cheng scolded even more angrily: "I'm in charge of the day, what nonsense are you kid talking about, are you begging for a beating?" ”
Seeing that he was tall, with a hideous face, with blood and murderous aura on his body, and he also pressed the handle of the knife with one hand, the oppressive force was approaching, the military craftsman surnamed Zheng felt that the cold hair on his whole body was trembling, his face was pale, and he suddenly cried, and kowtowed hard: "Spare your life, spare your life." ”
He cried very miserably, there was a Hun family beside him, and a son and daughter, when he saw the man suddenly kneeling on the ground, he cried loudly, all of them were pale, and fell to the ground in panic, all crying and begging for mercy.
For a moment, there was a cry here.
Everyone was dumbfounded, Hu Chengzhi stood on the spot, and scolded: "Rinen is in charge, Lao Tzu hasn't done it yet, why are you crying?" ”
Zeng Youyu also stood still, and said a sentence: "Men don't flick when they have tears." ”
Yang He frowned, and there was a burst of displeasure in his heart.
The warcraftsman surnamed Zheng kept kowtowing, listening to the cries of his wife and children beside him, his heart was unspeakable, and suddenly his mind was hot, his heart was horizontal, and his face was full of snot and tears: "Yes, you Xin'anzhuang broke the rules, this bonus is one, and there are more apprentices, this is a violation of the rules." ”
He turned to the blacksmith Yu even more, howling and crying: "Yu Ye, this Xin'anzhuang will cut off the livelihood of blacksmiths of all sizes in Pizhou in the future, you are also from Pizhou, and you have entered the industry, will you let it go?" ”
He cried and was in unspeakable pain.
Blacksmith Yu and Blacksmith Li beside him were silent, and after a long time, Blacksmith Yu said: "The old man is from Xin'anzhuang." ”
The craftsmen in the field are all turning their heads, people go to high places, water flows to low places, Xin'anzhuang is well treated, there are prospects, they are naturally willing to be here.
Besides, not a single knife has been made, and it has not been sold in the city, how can it break the rules of the industry?
As for the apprentices brought out, it may disrupt the market in Pizhou, that is a matter of the future, and it is not under control now.
They couldn't see it, but the cry of the family surnamed Zheng kept coming, which made people upset.
Seeing that everyone ignored them, the military craftsman surnamed Zheng trembled all over, he looked at the silent people, and said tremblingly: "You guys...... There is no conscience, there is no conscience......"
Yang He looked at him for a long time and sneered: "Poor people must have something to hate!" ”
At the same time, I sighed in my heart, and sure enough, it still came, and the clues appeared.
In ancient times, there was a factor that could not be ignored in the development of production, the upgrading of technology, and the creation of institutions, and even became a powerful obstacle or enemy.
That's the guilds everywhere.
Guilds existed in the Tang and Song dynasties, and were even more powerful in the Ming and Qing dynasties.
In order to maintain the market and limit competition, guilds were established in all walks of life, and then various strict rules were established.
For example, those who have not joined the guild are not allowed to open a store in the local area, and if they want to operate, they must pay the "upward bank", the money for entering the guild varies from place to place, but it is generally a lot, such as opening a grate shop in Huguang all over the country, and the prescribed "upward bank" is twenty taels.
The rules also strictly prohibit local counterparts from partnering with foreign counterparts to open stores, otherwise they will be heavily fined silver taels, and they are still not allowed to open stores.
It is also forbidden for each workshop to cooperate in the division of labor and assembly line operations.
For example, the Hankou Coppersmiths' Guild in the Qing Dynasty had strict regulations on the production of copper hookahs: "To each person's business, one cigarette pouch per cigarette is allowed to be made only by one hand, and it is only available until it is available." It is not allowed to box my rod, cover the bottom of the plum, and match it, and the violation will also be punished. ”
It is also forbidden to advertise on the streets, and it is only allowed to recruit business in front of one's own store.
"Newly opened shops, not to open next door to the left and right of the door, and not allowed to carry the burden on the street to sell", the advertising methods of later generations will definitely not work, just like the street to distribute leaflets or something, may only be advertising for a day, will be beaten half to death by peers, no one sympathizes.
If you're unlucky, you may be disqualified from doing business.
There are also various restrictions on raw materials, wages, sales, and even the number of equipment, etc., which are strictly regulated.
As for taking apprentices, it is even more strict, basically one out of one, one in one, can not be taken without permission, otherwise it will be severely punished!
For example, Suzhou Gold Leaf once stipulated that only one apprentice was allowed, and someone violated the crowd to accept two apprentices, so the public was very angry and summoned him to the public office to discuss matters, and more than 100 peers rushed up and bit him to death, and the four people who refuted the crime were ready to deal with the government.
In addition to quality considerations, the various regulations of the guild are more aimed at controlling the total amount of commodities circulating in the market, so as not to compete with each other and destroy the livelihood of their peers.
The emergence of advanced devices will also suffer from widespread hostility, because it may deprive peers of jobs and disrupt the market.
The movement of destroying machines has been common in both the East and the West.
There are all kinds of other regulations, for example, if your craftsman has not joined the guild and has not opened his own shop, the product can only be stored in the same store for sale, just like Niu Jin Ingot and his son, that is, the finished product will be handed over to Li Blacksmith for sale.
Three hundred and sixty lines, countless rules and obstacles.
Xin'anzhuang is now appearing as a "consumer" image, of course, it is very popular with the commercial houses in Pizhou, and even poaching people, the craftsmen of the guilds are also happy to see it, because it has reduced the competition of city craftsmen, and its market share has expanded.
Anyway, it's easy to leave and hard to enter, and if you want to open a store in the city, please pay another twenty taels of "upward silver".
For the time being, Yang He will not be hostile to the guilds, because he is basically self-produced and used now, and he is not enough for himself, how can he sell it?
However, there will always be a day when powerful productivity will overflow, and any shock wave will drown countless shrimps.
In that future, he Yang He may have one more powerful enemy.
It is an innumerable guild in all parts of the Ming Dynasty.
There are also countless merchants and craftsmen who hate him to the core.
Just like this military craftsman surnamed Zheng, he realized something.
It's just that the big husband has something to do and doesn't do, and if you want to break through the haze, there will always be those flies and dogs.
Yang He can imagine that he has many enemies in the future, and he doesn't care about one or two more.
He looked coldly at this crying warsmith surnamed Zheng, who looked extremely pitiful now, but his pitiful appearance was hateful in his heart.
I think I insist on something, but it's just an oil.
Bing oil, craftsman oil, office oil, this person is just a craftsman.
He doesn't follow him, because he doesn't have that blessing.
Just look at the petty profits, short-sighted people, it is not worth keeping!
He said: "You don't have to say more, leave the money and get out!" ”
He got up and looked around at the craftsmen in the audience: "Who else wants to leave, leave now, I will never stay!" ”
There was a commotion in the audience, they looked at each other, but no one moved.
The military craftsman surnamed Zheng looked at everyone in disappointment, and after a long time, he reluctantly took out An Jiayin from his arms and put it down.
All the craftsmen got out of the way, they all looked at him indifferently, everyone has their own ambitions, anyway, they think Xin'anzhuang is very good, so they don't go.
The warcraftsman surnamed Zheng lost his soul, and he muttered: "There will be retribution, there will be retribution......
In the cold wind, he staggered and took his wife away. (To be continued.) )
