……

This is located in the northeast of Handan Guocheng near the place from the platform, the pedestrians on the road come and go endlessly, the day is nearly noon, and the black smoke curls in the square where the hundred workers live......

Raising his head on the car, through the smoke, Mingyue could see the shadow of the Shi Rui Beast on the Congtai Palace in the distance. It was the palace built by his "grandfather" King Wuling of Zhao, where it is said that he once received the envoys of the princes and paraded the army, and it was there that he and Feiyi and others finalized the national policy of Hufu cavalry and archery.

Although he has been longing for a long time, Congtai is not the destination of Mingyue today, what he wants to go to is the Gongyin Office near Congtai.

After all, it is one of the several larger official offices in Handan City, and the Gongyin Office looks like a deep house in the courtyard from the outside, with carved walls in Junyu, and there are soldiers with swords standing guard outside the door, and there is a side school by the door, and there are small officials on duty in the school, responsible for reporting affairs. From time to time, there were hundreds of workers in brown clothes coming in and out of the door, and the little officials looked down on the lowly white man, and they were all arrogant and rude, and let them bribe or curry favor with a smile on their faces.

But when he saw the magnificent carriages and horses of the bright moon, the little official knew that he was coming to the Lord of the day, and immediately dispersed those hundred craftsmen, let the soldiers clear the road, and bowed to welcome him in.

"The villain has seen Chang'anjun, and Pingyangjun has been waiting in the department for a long time!"

Speaking of which, ordinary officials really don't have the courage to let a son be a subordinate, but fortunately, Yin, the great worker of Zhao State, is just another uncle of Mingyue, Pingyang Jun Zhao Bao.

Pingyang Jun is the youngest son of King Wuling of Zhao and the younger brother of King Huiwen of Zhao and Pingyuan Jun. In the twenty-seventh year of King Zhao Huiwen (272 BC), he was crowned king, but compared with the famous princes of Pingyuan, Zhao Bao was much more low-key. When Empress Dowager Zhao commented on this little uncle, she said that he was cautious, less exaggerated, and preferred to work hard.

When Mingyue entered the inner hall of the official office under the guidance of the small official, Zhao Bao was sitting on the mat behind the desk, writing on a roll of bamboo books with a pen, word by word, with a clear eye.

"The little nephew has seen my uncle!"

The dragon gave birth to nine sons, the children are different, contrary to the plain Jun who is full of fat brains and big grin, this Pingyang Jun is a thin middle-aged man, with a goatee hanging under his chin, and he does not smile. He saw Mingyue coming to report to him, and after getting up to salute, he didn't talk nonsense, so he talked about business.

"Do you know, nephew, what do I have to do on weekdays?"

Mingyue had done her homework, and said: "Zhizhi, in charge of hundreds of craftsmen and official craftsmen, as well as supervising the manufacture of all kinds of utensils." ”

It turned out that since the Western Zhou Dynasty, the class occupations in the country were roughly "six state-owned positions", that is, six kinds of princes, doctors, hundred workers, merchants, farmers, and women's workers. Among them, although the status of industrial and commercial food officials is not low, they do not have the freedom to move, and must be concentrated together in accordance with the regulations and requirements of the government to engage in production and trade.

After entering the Warring States period, with the increase in population and rapid economic development, the "industrial and commercial food officials" in the Spring and Autumn Period of the Western Zhou Dynasty gradually collapsed. The merchants basically broke away from the official control of the countries, and began to appear small self-employed and wealthy merchants, Zigong, Bai Gui and others, who were rich enough to rival the country and compete with the princes.

However, compared with the merchants, the craftsmen were still not free, except for vassals of large and small feudal nobles or large merchants, most of them were still subordinate to the government, producing all kinds of utensils according to the requirements of the state, and only doing small business in their spare time.

In order to manage this huge group, the state of Chu first set up the post of Gongyin, and later, the state of Zhao also set up, responsible for the jurisdiction of the hundred workers subordinate to the government. Such as the system of civil construction, the use of utensils, the method of ditch and weir dredging, and the mausoleum for billions. All civil and water conservancy projects, weapons manufacturing, mining and metallurgy, textiles and other government-run handicraft industries in the country are all in charge.

In short, according to the terms of authority, it is equivalent to the "Ministry of Works" of later generations, and the power is not small.

But what Mingyue asked for from Empress Dowager Zhao and King Zhao was just a subordinate position of this "Great Gong Yin", Bangyou Gong Yin. In the eyes of the nobles of Zhao State, the official position is not big or small, because they have to deal with the lowly workers in their eyes, so everyone disdains it, but who expected Chang'an Jun to be interested in it.

Pingyang Jun really told the truth: "My Zhao country is respected by the right, and the original vacancy was the Bangzuo Gong Yin, and the nephew made great contributions to the country and should be respected, so he switched it and took you as the Bang Yougong Yin." ”

"Uncle is in love."

Zhao Bao's face did not change: "Assess the hundred workers, review the construction of each seasonal arrangement, distinguish the quality of the equipment, so that the national capital does not dare to secretly produce utensils for personal gain, this is what Gong Yin has to do, although the cloud is a hundred workers, but it can be divided into seven ......"

Mingyue had the heart to have a good relationship with this uncle, and also asked seriously: "My nephew has just arrived, and I am not familiar with the situation, so I hope that my uncle will give me more advice." ”

Pingyang Jun was very patient, and slowly explained the seven types of craftsmen classification, no matter how big or small, they had to explain clearly before stopping.

"There are seven kinds of wood-tapping work, wheels, bows, bows, lu, craftsmen, cars, and catalpa, which are probably related to wood, which can be included, such as building cars, boats, bows and arrows, etc."

"There are six kinds of gold-attacking work, building, smelting, smelting, chestnut, duan, and peach, which are probably smelting and casting weapons and ritual weapons."

"There are five kinds of skin-tapping work, Han, Bao, Wei, Wei, and Qiu, which are probably made of animal fur as armor and clothing."

"There are four kinds of coloring work, painting, reel, gong, and basket, which are probably dyed in blue, blue, red and purple."

"There are five kinds of scraping work, jade, hammer, carving, arrow, chime, which is nothing more than making stone, jade, and bone into tools."

"There are two kinds of work, pottery, grubbing, making some clay pots and grubs, and burning bricks and tiles."

"In addition, there is a construction work, which is responsible for the construction of the castle ......"

There are too many unfamiliar nouns and words, Mingyue was a little dizzy when she heard it, and she said: "It turns out that this is the industry of a hundred crafts, and it is really divided into categories." "The above seven categories of craftsmen cover all aspects of daily life and rituals.

He asked, "How many of them should the little nephew oversee?" ”

Zhao Bao said: "Since the establishment of Gong Yin in my Zhao Kingdom, there have been clear texts, involving six kinds of gold attack work for weapon making, one bow man in wood attack work, and five kinds of skin tapping work that can make armor and arrow feathers, and construction work involving the use of prisoners, all of which are under the personal jurisdiction of Dagong Yin. ”

He stared at Mingyue and said, "In this case, my nephew will choose two of the remaining four kinds of wood-tapping, color-setting, scraping, and fighting." ”

Mingyue's eyes rolled, in fact, he had already decided what to choose after inquiring about the scope of this Gong Yin in advance, so he thought about it hesitantly before saying, "Otherwise, the little nephew will be responsible for attacking wood and coloring?" ”

Zhao Bao finally smiled for the first time: "There is nothing to do." ”

Chang Anjun and King Zhao's brother contradictions, Zhao Bao saw it in his eyes, as a witness of the change of the Dune Palace, Zhao Bao was extremely sensitive to this, he wanted to make Zhao Guogong stable, and did not want to cause trouble again, so when Chang Anjun said that he was going to come to the Gong Yin Department to find an errand to do, he was suddenly very vigilant!

But now, Chang'anjun makes Zhao Bao feel very relieved. Because in addition to the bow making, the rest of the wood-tapping work is only related to the production of boats and cars, as for the color work, it is only digging and digging dansha, preparing dyes, although there is some oil and water, but there is no real power - he refers to the kind of real power that allows careerists to hide armor and recruit dead soldiers!

After choosing the direction to be responsible, Mingyue said that he was going to take a look at the area where the two kinds of work were concentrated.

Zhao Bao said disapprerovingly: "My nephew is mistaken. Our workers are only responsible for issuing orders, and the specific affairs can be presided over by the following engineers. Under the engineer, it is the hundred craftsmen who make the utensils, and the nephew does not have to go to check it in person, the hundred workers live in the house, the dirty and pickled place, how can you, the noble son, set foot in? ”

Zhao Bao is a matter of course, high up, this is the mentality of the nobles in this era to look at the hundred workers, since Zhao Bao did the big work Yin, basically in this official office, let the fighting food officials pass his orders, never set foot in the place where the hundred workers gather.

Mingyue understood, but still smiled: "What my uncle said is reasonable, but my nephew still wants to go and see ......"

Chang'anjun asked so, Zhao Bao didn't say anything, and sent a few subordinates to take him, and after he left, a thin black-clothed official like a bamboo pole came out of the side room, but it was Bangzuo Gong Yin, who was replaced by Chang'anjun......

"Childe, do you want to send someone to keep an eye on Chang'anjun as Zhao Mu said in the palace......" Previously, Zhao Mu visited Zhao Bao for King Zhao, and was alarmist about him, talking about Chang'anjun's ambitions, which made Zhao Bao vigilant.

But after Zhao Bao talked with Chang Anjun today, he saw that he did not show a thirst for weapons and armor, so he felt that Zhao Mu was suspicious.

At this time, his cronies asked if he wanted to keep an eye on Chang'anjun, and Zhao Bao smiled: "After all, he is a hero who has gone to trouble for the country, how can he guard against it like a thief?" ”

But after thinking about it, Zhao Bao instructed again: "But you can't let him come and delay the matter of building boats and cars for the Yan army and dyeing the armor, and tell all the engineers, no matter what Chang'anjun wants to do, he must come and tell me first!" ”
