Chapter 322

The Ming Dynasty's rest system, the Spring Festival and the Lantern Festival are separated, the Lantern Festival is also known as the Shangyuan Festival, Taoism has "the Shangyuan Festival heavenly officials bless" said, so it is more important than the New Year's Day - the New Year's Day is from the beginning of the new year, the rest to the fifth day of the new year; The Lantern Festival starts on the 11th day of the first month and lasts for ten consecutive days.

Therefore, in the sixth and tenth days of the new year, the yamen still has to open its doors to do business.

On the eighth day of the first month of the tenth year of orthodoxy, Yang Shangjing walked into the workshop slowly with his hands behind his back.

The productive forces determine the relations of production, and the relations of production have a negative effect on the productive forces.

Now Yang Shangjing is just a petty official of the five grades, in the bureaucratic system of the Ming Dynasty, although he is not a dispensable small role, but he is not a big man who can lean on one side, and the position of not being embarrassed shows that he does not have the ability to influence national decision-making and use production relations to react to the productive forces.

His ability is limited to using local disguised tax items such as "security expenses" to regulate the price and production enthusiasm of a certain commodity in a region.

Therefore, Yang Shangjing must use the improvement of productivity to force the improvement of production relations.

As soon as the officials in the workshop saw Yang Shangjing coming, they hurriedly dropped the paperwork in hand, stood up from the chair, and bowed to Yang Shangjing: "Go down Chen Da, I've seen Lang Zhong." ”

Yang Shangjing waved his hand and said directly: "The day before yesterday, this official asked the master of the workshop to develop some equipment, I don't know what the results are now?" ”

Chen Da said "ah", obviously a little confused, thought about it hard, and then smiled bitterly: "If you go back to Langzhong, you are in charge of the account books of the workshop, and you have not been in charge of the work of the masters, I really don't know what is going on. ”

Yang Shangjing raised his eyebrows, and wanted to say something, but in the end he held back, and just nodded slowly: "It's okay, just let someone urge it." ”

After finishing speaking, he found a chair and sat down, slowly closed his eyes, this Chen Da ran to the door, whispered a few times to a soap, and then thought about it a little nervously, and slowly moved to Yang Shangjing's side, standing with his hands down, for fear of disturbing Yang Shangjing's rest.

This is the New Year, although there is no rotation to rest, but the officials and officials all live in the county government, generally leaving one person on duty in the duty room, and the rest are resting.

Of course, if there is really any emergency, Yang Shangjing will take out a knife and kill someone.

After a while, I saw a middle-aged man in his forties running in panting, with beads of sweat on his head and some improper clothes on his body.

Yang Shangjing opened his eyes and looked at him, the latter gasped for breath, straightened his hat, and bowed down: "...... Go down to Luo Heng and see Lang Zhong. ”

Yang Shangjing looked him up and down, didn't do anything to investigate, and asked directly: "The official asks you, the tools that the official asked the master craftsmen of the workshop to build the day before yesterday are now completed?" ”

In the Jiangnan area, even if the phenomenon of the Xiaoice River period has begun to gradually become serious, the river water in winter is not frozen, although the water flow is less during the dry season, but relying on the Yongning River such a larger water system, there are still some water conservancy.

This Luo Heng took two breaths, and then replied: "If you go back to Langzhong, it is said that the initial results have been seen, and the farm tools produced are much better than the original quality. ”

Although he doesn't know what the process of striking iron is, Yang Shangjing knows that the principle of stability overriding everything is also applicable, compared with manpower and animal power, the natural force of water flow is obviously more stable, and it can work day and night, both in terms of quality and quantity, there is a great improvement.

So Yang Shangjing was not surprised at all by this result, but nodded: "That's good, where is that place?" ”

This Luo Heng is not a dry eater, so he reported a place name without thinking, and then said: "Now the master craftsmen in the county are all over there during the New Year, to see if there is anything wrong, and there is an improvement." ”

After a pause, a look of embarrassment appeared on his face: "It is said that ...... It is said that Lao Zhang's second son was smashed by the forging hammer, and one left hand was completely wasted. ”

The craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty were also passed down from generation to generation, although to a certain extent, there was no concern about "teaching apprentices and starving masters", but in the end there was still a lack of communication, and the system was closed.

However, the life of the craftsmen is also hard, basically the chief officials in the county exploit a knife, and the officials at all levels below will have another knife, and there will not be much income left, otherwise they will not live by squinting down a little material when working.

Yang Shangjing didn't care about their specific consumption, and it was precisely because of this that it was not easy for everyone to be bitter, and if he wanted to make people produce results in the early stage, he obviously couldn't let the horses run and not give the horses grass, but the word master was abolished and an arm was abolished, and he didn't hear the wind at all.

So he stood up, looked at Luo Heng, and asked, "Since someone is disabled because of this, why don't you report it to this official?" ”

Luo Heng was stunned when he heard this, and hurriedly bowed down and replied: "If you go back to Langzhong, it is the responsibility of the craftsman to make a new equipment for the national super, or if there is damage, it will be like a soldier fighting on the battlefield, and there will be a pension. ”

feudal dross...... No, it's an excellent tradition of the feudal era, if this is left five hundred years later, it would have been a storm in the city, what kind of work-related injuries, what rights protection, and what kind of media and other things can torture him Yang Shangjing, the chief official of a county, to death.

Right now? A servant made a move and sent it away.

However, Yang Shangjing rolled his eyes, and always felt that this matter could make him brush up on a wave of prestige, so he coughed dryly and said: "Twenty times on the workshop account to make up for the second child of the Zhang family, if he is literate, let him come to the county to meet the official after the Yuan Festival." ”
