Chapter 214: Craftsmen Are Also Graded (Ask for Collections, Recommendations, and Subscriptions)

First-class royal relatives, second-class secretaries;

third-class monks, fourth-class Confucianism;

fifth-class craftsmen, sixth-class Jia;

fireworks of the seventh class, servants of the eighth class;

ninth-class soldiers, tenth-class beggars;

Bandits and bandits, excluded.

In the Dawu Empire, the hierarchy was strict, and the craftsmen were ranked first in the middle and third ranks, and their status was quite high and respected, but respect was one thing, and it was another thing to support a family to fill their stomachs.

In this era, in the eyes of land privatization, owning land is the dream of all people, whether it is a high-ranking official or an ordinary person, the first thing after development is to buy land.

But there is only so much land, most of it is in the hands of the upper and fourth class people, and it is not that you can buy it with money, and no one will be willing to sell the land in their hands unless people are to the point where they can't survive.

The craftsmen gathered from the counties and towns never imagined that they could get a large tract of land so easily, and when they got the title deeds from the county government, everyone seemed to be in a dream, until someone took the lead in applauding, and the others cheered with joy.

And for Su Jun, these lands are nothing, today's Bei'an County, not only a large area of barren land is uncultivated, but also a large amount of wasteland, as long as it is reclaimed, it can be turned into fertile land, Su Jun used some barren land to envelop some technicians he needs very much, this is really a very cost-effective deal.

As a person who has traveled through the past, Su Jun knows very well what it means to be a blacksmith during the war years, and the blacksmiths drawn from all over the world are all leaders in this industry, and they are all masters who are good at making all kinds of weapons.

As for the design and manufacturing drawings of some instruments, Su Jun doesn't have to worry, because his head is equivalent to an encyclopedia, as long as he can give a general idea, this group of masters can be buried in groups together.

Ma Deheng, the master craftsman with the highest craftsmanship, was directly appointed by Su Jun as the craftsman deacon of the craftsman battalion, and the master of the craftsman battalion received a salary equivalent to that of a false marquis, of course, there was no shortage of land for his family.

This made the master craftsman Ma Deheng grateful to Su Jun, this salary alone was something he couldn't think of before, not to mention the land? As long as he has the land in his hands, no matter how little money he gets, Ma Deheng will not complain at all.

As soon as he stepped into the gate of the craftsman camp, Ma Deheng, the craftsman deacon, came out with a group of craftsmen, and there was no craftsman as a deacon in the official position of the Anning Palace, to put it bluntly, this official position was appointed by Su Jun himself, and the salary he paid was of course out of his own pocket, but for this little money, Su Jun didn't care at all, as long as he wanted, he could also pay for more people.

In order to distinguish experienced master craftsmen from ordinary craftsmen, and make these people have a greater sense of responsibility and honor, Su Jun not only privately set up the official position of craftsman as a deacon, but even the craftsmen were divided into several levels, first of all, the most intuitive embodiment is in clothing.

Take the clothes worn by Ma Deheng as an example, he is wearing a white robe embroidered with a big craftsman character on the back, and the chest of the white robe is tattooed with four burning flames, the white brocade robe represents Ma Deheng's status, and he is the white deacon of the craftsman camp, and the four burning flames symbolize that he is the master of the four flames, and he is the most skilled master in the craftsman camp.

Under Ma Deheng, they were divided into several teams, and the team leader wore a gray robe embroidered with craftsmen on the back, and two or three burning flames were tattooed on the chest of the gray robe, representing the technical level of each of them.

Ordinary craftsmen wore brown robes embroidered with the word craftsman on the back, and a burning flame was tattooed on the chest of the brown robe, while apprentice craftsmen also wore brown clothes with the word craftsman, but there was no burning flame tattooed on the chest in the front, and the flame could only be tattooed after being promoted to the craftsman.

The color of the clothes is different, the number of flames is different, and the corresponding salary is also different.

Since the construction of the craftsman battalion under the planning of Yan Qinghua and others, Su Jun has not come once, but he has privately summoned Ma Deheng twice, handed over the design drawings of the chariot to him, and asked him to lead the craftsmen to figure out and study, but Ma Deheng and the others really lived up to Su Jun's expectations.

Looking at Ma Deheng who trotted up, Su Jun almost laughed, at this time, the white robe on Ma Deheng's body could not be seen clearly, and even his face was covered with black ash, and several craftsmen behind him, it was difficult to tell whether it was gray or brown by looking at the color of the clothing alone, and he could only guess from the number of burning flames that they should all be the captains under Ma Deheng.

Ma Deheng's heart is also uneasy, a few days ago he sent the chariot developed by gathering everyone's wisdom to various armies, and today Su Jun personally brought people over, and I don't know if there is something wrong with the chariot, which did not meet the requirements of General Zhenbei?

"I've seen General Zhenbei, all the military marquis!"

Ma Deheng ran over like a fly, and was just about to kneel on the ground and kowtow, when Su Jun stepped forward and grabbed him, and laughed softly:

"Deacon Ma, you are also an official of Bei'an County, you don't need to kneel down when you see me in the future, you just need to bow down and salute."

"Ahh Ma Deheng, the craftsman deacon, and his squad leader were stunned, officials? Do you deserve to be an official? ”

Ma Deheng said loudly: "General Su, how can there be such an official as a craftsman as a deacon in our peace?" The villain is just an ordinary craftsman, so there is the blessing of being an official? ”

In Ma Deheng's impression, being an official is something that only the children of wealthy families, royal families or scholars can do, and he is just the leader of a craftsman, and compared with ordinary ordinary people, he only masters some exquisite skills.

"Haha, of course it's an official, and it's also an official with a document certificate!"

Su Jun smiled heartily and said:

"I don't care about the rest of the Dawu Empire, and I can't control it, but in my Bei'an County, the craftsman deacon is not only an official, but also an important official, otherwise why would I give you a salary equivalent to that of a false marquis? Your current level is the same as Yu Dayou, don't underestimate yourself."

"Huh? What kind of person is Yu Dayou, who fought bravely on the front line, made countless meritorious contributions, and was also appreciated by General Su, so that he can have today's position, that is the absolute celebrity in front of General Zhenbei, how can he be compared with Lord Yu? ”

Ma Deheng's lips trembled a little, he really didn't dare to think about it anymore, even the several squad leaders behind him were all flushed, and their breathing became short, the general said that Deacon Ma's official rank was equivalent to Dayou, and it was a fake marquis treatment, so we, as the squad leader led by Lord Ma, wouldn't we be the head of a thousand households?
