Chapter 989: Life is Reasonable
The emperor made a proposal: "If you are worried about the lack of manpower in the Qi family's construction company, let the Ministry of Industry send a few craftsmen with good craftsmanship to help Qi Younian do things." ”
Jinrong was a little big when he heard it, and he was also prepared for the emperor to ask about the expansion of the steam engine, so he would look for Ye Xinyan. But he didn't expect the emperor to ask Ye Xinyan to be more attentive in the mechanical workshop.
Ye Xinyan is pregnant, if Jiang Yifan's kid knew that Emperor Lao Tzu sent an errand to Ye Xinyan at this time, would he be uncomfortable?
"Thank you for your grace, there is no shortage of people in the Qi family construction line for the time being. The courtiers were just afraid that they would not be able to do the follow-up affairs of the steam engine. Ye Xinyan simply refused.
The craftsmen who work for the imperial court are still good craftsmen. This kind of person goes to the folk construction line, and that must be a shelf. When the time comes, grandpa will have to bother to subdue them, isn't it nothing to do?
The emperor didn't care much about it, and he didn't care about this matter, "It's good that there is no shortage of manpower in the construction industry." You'll be able to put your mind to the steam engine and get the furnace up to speed up as quickly as possible. I believe in your intelligence, and if you are willing to put your heart into it, the output of the furnace will definitely increase. ”
Ye Xinyan: "...... "What, you believe in my intelligence?" I only have memories and no intelligence, okay? Besides, courtier, I am a pregnant woman, isn't it good that you are squeezing the labor resources of pregnant women like this?
Ye Xinyan's eyes looking at the emperor were a little wrong.
As the emperor spoke, he glanced at Cheng Dahui, who was already a little unable to sit still, and then said to Ye Xinyan: "Your mechanical workshop has been surprising many times, and this steam engine is even more important. The supervisor is good at making mechanical tools, so Cheng Dahui takes a few people to enter the mechanical workshop. One is to give you a hand, and the other is to have more knowledge, so that you can expand the use of steam engines in the future. Do you think so? ”
The emperor looked at Ye Xinyan very eagerly, and his posture was also very low. That's the craftsman who will be the prisoner, except for the emperor, who dares to say that they will give people a hand?
Wang Qiao was stunned, he will be a prisoner. He was born as a craftsman, and he knew better than ordinary people the status of the supervisor in the artisan world, where no single craftsman could go in and do things.
But the emperor said that he would let the chief eunuch take the craftsmen who would be the eunuch and give them grassroots craftsmen...... Didn't he have auditory hallucinations?
Today, the craftsman who was an assistant to Wang Qiao and was fortunate enough to enter the palace and meet the emperor was even more shocked. He didn't froze, but secretly pulled Wang Qiao's clothes, looked at Wang Qiao with a frightened and inquiring gaze, hoping that Wang Qiao would give him a signal.
Could it be that His Majesty the Emperor misunderstood something? They are just folk craftsmen, at most, they will do whatever Shi Lao and the chief steward ask them to do, there is really nothing for the general to see, right?
Jinrong was even more surprised, didn't his father know that when he encountered this kind of thing, Ye Xinyan's first thought was silver?
Facing the emperor's earnest gaze, Ye Xinyan's expression was sad.
How could she answer this? Of course, you can. If you start it, the craftsmen who will be the supervisors are all the elite of the craftsman world, not to mention the hands, maybe they can come in handy.
The problem is that you are not craftsmen in the machine workshop, and you can't sign employment documents with the machine shop and will not continue to work for the machine shop in the future.
When they finish their work, that is, when they learn the craft, they pat their butts and leave, using the skills they have learned in the mechanical workshop elsewhere.
Is she wronged?
It was a thousand years ago, and the only thing she brought here was intellectual assets. What can be called an asset, that is, money, is silver!
She still has that principle, it's okay to learn technology, and she doesn't approve of hiding secrets. But there is no free lunch, isn't it? Breakfast and dinner are not for nothing.
"Your Majesty, there is no shortage of manpower in the mechanical workshop at present, if Master Cheng wants to go...... Your Majesty, it is not easy for the craftsmen and masters of our construction industry to figure out some experience and technology......"
Ye Xin didn't finish his words, and he didn't care about the etiquette in front of the palace. After she stopped talking, she looked at the emperor. The words have been said so clearly, the emperor, your old man should understand what I mean, the courtier, right?
The emperor shook his beard and looked at Ye Xinyan without backing down at all.
He understood what Ye Xinyan meant, and after several dealings, he knew very well that An Guogong, the granddaughter, was a money fan.
The problem is that after these few dealings, Ye Xinyan is such a smart and clever Nizi, and he was fined half of the project money. Doesn't she understand that it's not easy for him to be an emperor, and he is also very obsessed with money.
The old man and the young were fighting a lawsuit, and the people watching next to them were all wide-eyed and couldn't help but have a toothache.
This situation is probably rare in a hundred years, right?
This Grandma Jiang, the former Miss Ye family, she doesn't know the rules, even if she doesn't understand the rules.
But the emperor is like this, isn't there something you can't say?
However, the emperor didn't feel unreasonable at all, and in the end, Ye Xinyan was defeated.
"Your Majesty, you also know that courtiers do not hide their selfishness, but courtiers are in business. The world knows that craftsmanship is the basis for craftsmen to earn silver, and it is an invisible asset. The intangible assets of craftsmanship are more reliable and tangible than real money. ”
What is the argument behind this? There was a feeling that everyone in the audience couldn't cry or laugh.
Jinrong and Wang Qiao are better, at least they have heard Ye Xinyan say more than once that craftsmen, especially those with good craftsmanship, should be respected and treated as they deserve. But this is the first time she has talked about the rotation of craftsmanship comparable to gold and silver.
The craftsmen around Wang Qiao couldn't believe that Qi Niangzi would say such an inappropriate thing in front of the emperor.
Craftsmanship is to earn wages. But can that compare to real money? A craftsman who has a craft and makes money from his craft is a man of man. If you have gold and silver, you are a noble gentleman and a superior person.
Ye Xinyan was very dissatisfied with everyone's attitude, "Don't you understand this?" When the silver is spent, it is gone, but the craft is learned, it is useful for life, it is inexhaustible, and it is a sharp weapon for making money. Your Majesty, do you say? ”
Of course, the emperor would not answer such a question, and the first word that rose in his heart was the lotus flower. This word is used to describe Ye Xinyan, which is very appropriate.
The craftsmanship of the craftsman is more real than real money? It was the first time the Emperor had heard of such an argument, but this first time it sounded so reasonable.
This is in the imperial study, and the Son of Heaven wants to let the general go to a folk construction line to take a look, but Ye Jia Nizi is bargaining with the Son of Heaven, and she also said this irrefutable truth of life.
Thinking of this woman's perfunctory diplomatic rhetoric, he wanted to burst into foul language. What kind of child did An Guogong raise? A bastard kid's casual words are the truth of life, and this is not for anyone else to live? I want to talk about "Women's Beauty" with more like-minded people, pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
