Chapter 44 Digging Talents
"You're going to be the best in prison?"
Xiao Zhengtai stood in front of Huang Yuan with his little hands on his back, with a small head on his back.
"Back to the little boy, I dare not say that it is the best, but I also have a certain attainment!"
Huang Yuan arched his hand and said humbly.
"How much is the salary?"
"Uh......!"
Xiao Zhengtai's question stumped Huang Yuan.
If it is said that the salary is not high, I am afraid that His Majesty will not be happy and think that he dislikes the low salary.
If you say high, it's pure nonsense, and he can't do nonsense with his eyes open.
After raising his eyelids and glancing at Ying Zheng weakly, he said with a little embarrassment: "The minister's official position is slight, thanks to Your Majesty's kindness, it is enough for the family to live!" ”
Thinking about it, this is the only way not to offend people!
"Feiyu, what are you asking for?"
Ying Zheng was puzzled.
"Of course it's digging talents!"
Xiao Zhengtai grinned in response, and then looked at Huang Yuan, "Do you want to make some extra money?" ”
As he spoke, he twisted his fingers.
"Outside...... Fast? ”
Huang Yuan looked confused.
What do you mean?
What is Extra Express?
"Hey! Elm head, in addition to salary, do you want to make some more money! ”
Xiao Zhengtai jumped up and hit Huang Yuan's head with a shock.
It is said that the scholar's head is elm, and I think this guy's is about the same, he has already expressed it clearly enough, and this kid still doesn't understand.
"The money-making minister naturally wants to, but it's ......!"
Huang Yuan spread his hands and looked at Yingzheng with a weak heart.
He will be in charge of the civil construction of the palace, temple, and mausoleum, and will have no income other than salaries.
Unlike other ministers, they can scavenge for some people's fat and people's ointment.
But he was faced with some wood and poor slag craftsmen, how could he have money to scavenge?
"Just think about it......!"
Xiao Zhengtai immediately snapped his fingers, "My father asked me to pick artificial paper, I think you're good!" ”
This guy became a general at a young age, and he must have some skills, and he deals with wood all day long, so he must have some understanding of these, so it is most suitable for him to go to papermaking!
"Paper? Paper? Which day did the little boy use it when he drew the drawings? ”
Hearing the word paper, Huang Yuan's eyes suddenly lit up.
A few days ago, Xiao Zhengtai's drawings completely shocked him, in addition to the novel tables and chairs on the pictures, there was also the paper itself.
In the past, you could only choose silk silk, bamboo slips or sheepskin, which were expensive and inconvenient to carry.
Paper is different, black and white, light and easy to carry, making it a good material for drawings.
If it can really be mass-produced, it will be more convenient for them to build houses and drawings in the future!
"Well, paper is good for the country and the people, my father has ordered a large number of production, and you will go back to the general prison to select a few more capable helpers, and when you find a suitable workshop, you will start working!"
"The salary per person will be doubled on top of the current base!"
Xiao Zhengtai waved his little hand and gave Huang Yuan a package ticket.
If it weren't for this table and chair incident, Huang Yuan would definitely not believe what Xiao Zhengtai said, and he would have been joking with him as a child.
But after seeing the paper and the tables and chairs drawn by Xiao Zhengtai, Huang Yuan didn't see it that way.
Don't look at this little boy's age, but his wisdom is very outstanding.
There is already a legend of him in the palace, saying that he is a disciple of the gods and a descendant of the dragon!
What's more, Ying Zheng is sitting in this dormitory, Xiao Zhengtai's words are clearly heard, and no one has spoken, which proves that he acquiesced in this matter!
It's pie in the sky.
I ran an errand for the little boy, and I picked up such a big bargain!
The salary of papermaking has doubled, plus the salary of the imperial court, isn't that the current salary three times?
In the future, the life at home will be easy!
"What else do you want? Don't you agree to this good thing? ”
Ying Zheng on the side was anxious for Huang Yuan when he saw it, and said in a deep voice.
"Promise, promise, the lower official will go back to select craftsmen, and wait for the dispatch of the little boy at any time!"
After reacting, Huang Yuan nodded in agreement, bowed, and set about to do it.
"You kid will pick up ready-made!"
"Didn't my father say it! It's casual to ask for money, I think this Huang Yuan is good! ”
"Dignitaries can, but the court is not responsible for the double salary you promised!"
Now that the imperial court is using money everywhere, and the funds are tight, Yingzheng doesn't want to pay more for this unjust money.
Why double the salary on top of what can be done with a salary?
"Father, this is the reason why the officials of the imperial court have never been able to perform with their salaries!"
Xiao Zhengtai jumped onto the chair and rolled his eyes at Yingzheng.
"What?"
"If you want the horse to work, you have to feed the horse enough forage!"
"The establishment of a paper mill, in addition to the method of making paper, is also inseparable from these craftsmen, if they don't give enough money, how can they work hard?"
"Besides, I will be a supervisor, obviously it is a place where craftsmen from all over the world gather, but it is the most unpopular, if I want to say, I should give these craftsmen an appropriate increase in their status and salary, so that they can better research and create!"
Xiao Zhengtai crackled and told Yingzheng a lot of truths.
"Shinong Industry and Commerce, this has been handed down since ancient times!"
Ying Zheng didn't feel anything wrong.
"Does my father think that the plough transformed by his sons is very useful, and the horseshoe and papermaking are beneficial to the country and the people?"
"That's nature, otherwise I wouldn't have ordered it to be popularized!"
Ying Zheng sat on the chair with a big belly and nodded.
"That's not it, these actually belong to the category of craftsmen, but they are holding a very meager salary, doing work that is looked down upon, and they can't lift their spirits at all, let alone study those new things, ordinary people are not really unwilling to be craftsmen because they can't afford to eat, so no one has studied these!"
"Erchen believes that there should be a reform for the future supervisors, the establishment of some fictitious positions, the establishment of salaries according to the level of the position, and then according to the craftsman's craftsmanship and contributions to adjust the position, so that the status of the craftsmen is there, the salary is increased, and they will definitely compete for a higher position to contribute to the imperial court!"
"As long as you make something like a horseshoe, the benefits it will bring to my Great Qin are unlimited!"
"Well, there seems to be some truth to what you kid said!"
Ying Zheng stroked his beard as he pondered what he had said, and then nodded repeatedly.
"Of course it makes sense, these are what my master said!"
Xiao Zhengtai smiled slightly.
Only in this way can this old man be convinced, take action as soon as possible, and improve the status of the craftsman.
With no money and no status, who wants to work hard?
Without scientific research, it would be impossible for Daqin to develop rapidly!
If there is a chance in the future, let Ying Zheng run a Chinese Academy of Sciences, specialize in scientific research, and move all the high-tech in the future to Daqin!
