Chapter 32: The Death of the Ministers

And just when Zhao Yun's side was like a bamboo, he went straight to the county seat of Le'an. Zhang Shuo was not idle here.

On January 6 of the first year of Wujing, Qianguo convened a court meeting for the second time. Because the Qianguo is expanding its territory, it was originally the right to win the election of generals, but now it has been raised to a higher level. Although in terms of grain and grass logistics, Zhang Shuo couldn't give Zhao Yun much help. However, the government affairs in the rear must still be properly handled, so that Zhao Yun can concentrate on dealing with the war at the front without distraction.

The first is Sima Po and Li Yu, these two are the mediocre second ancestors of typical scholars. The force value barely reached about 45 to 46, and the strength of the ninth-order soldiers was still a little short of the level of the ascending military general.

Considering the current situation of the extreme shortage of people in Qianguo, Zhang Shuo could only promote the two of them to the county lieutenants of Qishan County and Tangling County respectively, and take over the positions of Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao. So that Zhou Cang and the two of them could free up their hands and rush to join Zhao Yun.

And Chai Cun is the same, there are Wang Yanzhang and two thousand soldiers and horses in Tiangan City, as long as Zhang Shuo carefully follows the way of perseverance, even if tens of thousands of enemy troops are coming, it is difficult to fall Tiangan City within a few days.

What's more, with the situation that the game has just begun, there are definitely very few forces that can mobilize tens of thousands of people to go on the expedition. Of course, the existence of a man like Sun Ru who uses human flesh to fill military food needs to be another matter.

However, according to the information that Zhang Shuo searched in the forum, Sun Ru is still being pinned down by the Four-Nation Alliance led by Tai Shici (poor information), and it is impossible to suddenly hit Qianguo. As for Xiao Cong of the Western Liang Kingdom, his ambiguous attitude of vacillating between Sun Ru and the Four Nations Alliance is also the reason why Zhang Shuo wants to leave Wang Yanzhang, the trump card, to defend the city!

"Chen Dazai, has the recruitment list been posted all over the place?"

After announcing the appointment, Zhang Shuo asked Dazai Chen Yi.

"Qiyu Guojun, at present, among the major cities and towns in Tiangan County, they have all been posted on the list. In recent days, there have been daily calls, and as of today, there are 137 craftsmen. All of them were temporarily arranged by Weichen in the city inn. Chen Yi saw Zhang Shuo asking, and immediately replied.

"Of the nearly 100,000 people in Qianguo, only 137 people have responded to the call!?"

When Zhang Shuo heard this, his face was slightly gloomy, he didn't understand, wasn't his methods tough enough? So much so that these old men are still playing that trick with themselves!

"Monarch, it is already a very good situation that more than 100 people can be called in just 5 days."

Looking at Chen Yi's helpless look, Zhang Shuo was also a little puzzled, looking at this situation, I am afraid that there are some detours in it.

"Why did Dazai Chen say that?"

"First of all, the issue of the inheritance of craftsmen, on weekdays, these craftsmen can receive jobs not all the time, and the folk have the saying that 'church apprentices starve to death of masters'. Therefore, the inheritance of craftsmanship is very strict, and it is generally only passed on to the younger generations of men, and even the daughters are afraid of letting outsiders learn it.

This is followed by the problem of Yulu, although the monarch issued a recruitment order, but did not specify the specific quota of Yulu, there must be many craftsmen who are still hesitating and hesitating, not daring to apply rashly. ”

"Monarch, most of these people are the pillars of the family, and it is normal to hesitate when it comes to the livelihood of the family."

Sikong Chen Wen, who was responsible for recruiting craftsmen on the side and had seen Zhang Shuo's tough methods, immediately came out and said, I was afraid that Zhang Shuo would not be able to think about it and use knives against these craftsmen. Once this kind of thing happens, I am afraid that the production capacity of the entire Qianguo country will be set back by several years, or even decades!

"Yes. This matter is indeed a lack of consideration. In this way, a new notice was drawn up, indicating that it was a good fortune! ”

The current position of Qianguo is still based on grain, for example, Dazai's monthly salary is 60 stone corn, and Liuqing's is 50 stone corn. Considering that each person consumes an average of 2 liters of food, which is 60 liters a month, the average family of 4 to 5 people, which is about 240 to 300 liters.

Zhang Shuo decided to set the junior craftsman's salary as 5 stone corn, intermediate 7 stone corn, advanced 10 stone corn, expert 15 stone corn, master 20 stone corn, grandmaster 30 stone corn, if it is a god level, then 50 stone corn!

As long as they are craftsmen, Zhang Shuo's minimum salary is enough for them to settle down and have a surplus. This price can't be said to be high, but at the beginning of the game, it is definitely not low. You can see the moon of Qianguo Dazai and Liuqing.

"Monarch, isn't it too much to give such a generous treatment to a craftsman? How can a group of craftsmen be virtuous? Can Yu Lu be compared with Liuqing? ”

As soon as Dazai Chen Yi heard Zhang Shuo's offer, the whole person immediately exploded. In the past, it was just a martial arts selection general, but now the other party has raised the craftsman to the level of Liuqing. Where do you leave them?

So, he immediately stood up and persuaded Zhang Shuo: "Liuqing is an important position of the state, if a mere craftsman's salary is on par with Liuqing, it is not only a violation of etiquette, but also a humiliation of many ministers!" In the long run, the country will not be a country! ”

"It is precisely because I have put the craftsmen's fortune at the level of Liuqing that everyone can know that my Qianguo is thirsty for talents, and my Qianguo attaches great importance to craftsmen! In order to make the craftsmen of Qianguo, and even neighboring countries, rush to defect! They are the cornerstone of the country's prosperity! Could it be that Chen Dazai disregarded the development of the country for the sake of his own dignity! ”

"It is precisely because of the state that the old minister cannot allow the king to do such a ridiculous act." Looking directly at Zhang Shuo with both eyes, Chen Yi said word by word: "The monarch's move is like nothing to treat the law of etiquette." If the old minister does not stop it, the entire Qianguo will become a laughing stock in the world. ”

Looking at Zhang Shuo in front of him, Chen Yi did not show weakness. Raise the craftsman to the same level as Liuqing. This move has broken the tradition of Shenzhou's Shinong industry and commerce, and if it is not careful, the Qianguo will inevitably be besieged by the surrounding countries like Sun Ru's Le'an State before. At that time, the entire Qianguo is likely to perish as a result. This is something that he, a veteran minister of the Qianguo, does not want to see.

"If the monarch doesn't take back his fate, the old minister would rather die here!"

Looking at Zhang Shuo in front of him, in addition to Dazai Chen Yi, Chen Wen, Sima Tai, Li Fei, Zhao Lei, and even Wu Lin, who rarely speaks, also stood in front of Zhang Shuo, and said in unison: "Please take back your life!"

looked at the Manchu civil and military forces who were attacking him in front of him. Zhang Shuo said indifferently: "The will of the widow has been decided, there is no need to say more."

"The Monarch ......"

"Where are the guards in the palace?"

As soon as the words fell, all the ministers in the hall were shocked, only to feel a cold air lingering in this hall. Several samurai then rushed into the main hall......

"Slow down!"

Seeing the tense situation in the court at this time, Gao Lishi on the side stepped forward and admonished: "The king's move is for the development of the country. And Dazai's actions are also to maintain the etiquette law, and it is also for the sake of our country.

The conflict between the two is nothing more than the fact that he is kind to the craftsman and makes his status equal to that of the minister, which is against the law of etiquette. Even so, it is better to grant these craftsmen official positions, so that this generation is not a craftsman, but a scholar. The king raised their salaries to make them comparable to the six kings, so that there was no violation of the law of etiquette. ”
