Zhenguan seven years, winter.

The vigorous industrial reform finally kicked off in Chang'an.

When the news of the craftsman's grading spread, the craftsmen of the entire Chang'an were immediately ecstatic.

What they care about is not the level of salary, but the hope for the future!

Although there were advantages and disadvantages of craftsmen in the past, the promotion path and promotion conditions were too harsh.

But now it's different, this is an opportunity for everyone, an opportunity to change their fate.

Of course, the reason why Duan Lun and their actions were so successful was not actually because they defeated the family family.

The real reason why the family chooses to compromise is, in the final analysis, because of interests.

They saw great benefits from the Ming Dynasty's generals.

For them, the suppression of artisans is only a means to defend their own interest group, but when the artisans can bring them great benefits, their attitude is very different.

The world is bustling, all for profit.

The world is crowded, all for profit.

This is the truest portrayal.

In the face of absolute interests, the first to break this rule is those who are scholars.

Of course, if they could, they would be willing to suppress other classes while maintaining absolute interests.

It's just that a lot of the time, how can it be so smooth?

When the Ministry of Works, the Shaofu Supervisor, and the General Supervisor began to grade the craftsmen, the nobles of Chang'an also had a headache.

They still underestimate what the rating means for the craftsman.

"Lang Jun, the craftsmen in our workshop are all quitting." Hou Jun gathered in the mansion, and an old servant said.

Hou Junji, that's called an egg pain!

Damn, he's still a supporter of industrial reform, but the first one to be unlucky was him, what do you make him think?

"Tell them that we signed a contract...... Hou Junji was a little angry.

If all these craftsmen quit their jobs, their workshops will be closed.

As soon as the old servant heard this, he immediately said: "Lang Jun, the ones who are making trouble about resignation are those whose contracts are about to expire. The question is, if we do agree, will other craftsmen follow suit in the future? ”

That's the crux of the matter.

If it's just a few craftsmen who make trouble, he really doesn't take it seriously.

Hou Junji sighed and asked, "What about other people's homes?" What's going on? ”

"After inquiring, the situation in Manchang'an is almost the same." The old servant said, "It should be that those craftsmen have discussed it, and it is estimated that they do not mean that they really want to quit their jobs, but may want the same rights as those craftsmen who will be overseers."

Moreover, I have also heard that the two prisons and the Ministry of Industry are recruiting craftsmen on a large scale, and it is estimated that they are also ......"

Speaking of which, the old servant stopped talking, and some words could not be said too clearly.

Hou Junji thought for a while and said, "In this way, you send someone to inquire about the practices of other noble families, and as for our side, drag it first." ”

He doesn't want to be a good bird, it's not that he's afraid, his current identity is embarrassing, if he can keep a low profile, try to keep a low profile.

When the old servant heard this, he immediately nodded and continued to be busy.

In fact, such situations abound in today's Chang'an City.

This happens in every family.

And the real manipulation of all this is naturally Li Erhe, the two prisons and the household department.

If it is just a simple reform of the craftsmen of the imperial court, it cannot be said that it is of little significance, it can only be said that the pace is too slow.

Of course, the most important reason is not this, the most important reason is that the number of craftsmen in the Tang Dynasty is still quite large.

If the reform is only carried out within the imperial court, there may be a disconnect between the craftsmen of the people and the craftsmen of the imperial court in the future, which is not conducive to the development of the private industry.

Moreover, it has finally come to this point, and the steps can be bigger, and there are not many opportunities for such opportunities in the future.

In the mansion, when Hou Junji was the only one left in the study, he was also thinking about these questions.

For him, none of this really matters, what is the benefit of the workshop?

At his point, it would be a shame to be bothered by this little profit.

What he really cares about is face.

But if compared with his political future, that face is not worth mentioning.

"Trouble, I don't know what that kid is going to do." Hou Junji muttered to himself.

As for Li Chengqian, he still cares a lot.

Don't look at the fact that after he sent his daughter to Sun Moon Mountain, he didn't have any private dealings with Li Chengqian, but it doesn't mean that he doesn't support Li Chengqian.

This may also be a tacit understanding between him and Li Chengqian.

……

At the same time, Daming Deyang City.

As the first city built by the Ming Dynasty in addition to Sun Moon Mountain, Deyang is now a little more prosperous.

Of course, Deyang can prosper quickly, but it is still stained with the light of Sun Moon Mountain.

Almost all merchants who come and go from the direction of Datang will settle in Deyang, which also drives the economic development of Deyang.

In addition, Li Chengqian relocated a large number of non-military workshops to various cities, and Deyang's economy developed by leaps and bounds in a short period of time.

And those workshops that settled in Deyang also helped Deyang City gather a large number of people in a short period of time.

"Xiao Yue, this kid is okay, Deyang City is only well governed, and there is an endless stream of merchants on the street." Walking in Deyang City, Cheng Chuliang said with an amazed face, "I didn't expect that this kid still has this ability, this will be transmitted back to the Tang Dynasty, and Song Guogong will not be happy." ”

On the side, Fang Yiai said with a disdainful face: "With the Sun Moon Mountain behind him, and His Royal Highness guarding it, to put it mildly, this dog is tied here, and it won't be worse than Xiao Yue's guy." ”

"I fucking know it's ugly, you bastard doesn't know how to shut up!" In a tea shop, Xiao Yue was waiting for everyone here, and he was quite happy for his brother at first, but when he heard Fang Yiai's broken mouth, he couldn't help it.

That is, if he can't win, if he is sure, he can't wait to press Fang Yiai on the ground and beat it!

Fang Yiai turned his head and looked, good guy, and immediately laughed and said: "Xiao Lao Er is still very powerful, at least if I change it, Deyang will definitely not have today's situation." ”

It's a shameless one.

For a person like Fang Yiai, there is no use in the face of his fart, and there is nothing to do with the benefits, what should he do?

Xiao Yue was still a little depressed, and when he heard Fang's words, he was speechless.

He's said it all, what can he say?

Cheng Chuliang was even more lacking in morality, and immediately smiled: "What a second house, Lao Tzu is ashamed to be with you, damn it, the first time I saw someone say that he is not as good as a dog!" ”

"Cheng Lao Er, are you underwhelmed!" There are some things that I can say, but I don't feel a little uncomfortable when I don't say them.

Cheng Chuliang took advantage of the situation and ran, and immediately hit his horse and ran towards Xiao Yue, and asked, "Brother with hundreds of brothers, you have to arrange for your brothers!"

Damn, those are all their own brothers, if you treat them badly, Fang Lao Er can talk to you for the rest of your life. ”

"Okay...... Xiao Yue said with a smile, "It's all arranged, tonight will be delicious and drinkable, and my brother will also celebrate your achievements." ”

As he spoke, Xiao Yue pulled Cheng Chuliang aside and whispered, "No, you are not in a hurry to return to Sun Moon Mountain to recover your life, what does a cat mean in Deyang City?" ”

"Do you think Lao Tzu is willing to stay in your Deyang City?" Cheng Chuliang said, "There was an accident, I have already asked His Highness to inform him, and the specific way to do it depends on His Highness's own plans." ”

"What's the accident?" Xiao Yue asked.

Cheng Chuliang turned his head and pointed at Yao Da and said, "Do you know who that guy is?" ”

Xiao Yue took a closer look and said, "Isn't that Yao Da?" ”

"You don't know." Cheng Chuliang smiled, "That's the seed of the eldest grandson Anye!" ”

"Eldest grandson Anye?" Xiao Yue didn't think about it for a while, and he was a little puzzled when he heard it.

Cheng Chuliang whispered: "In the early years of Zhenguan, the one who was going to help the Emperor Taishang restore." ”

"Him!" Xiao Yue was taken aback, "No, how did you bring him back, since you found out his identity and handed it over to Your Majesty, this is brought back, if Your Majesty finds out, Bao Buqi will think about His Highness." ”

"What kind of are you talking about." Cheng Chuliang's face changed suddenly, "That's our own brother!" ”

This is said by Fang Yiai, it is 100% the truth, but Cheng Chuliang, hehe, more or less bring something.

Seeing Xiao Yue's reaction, Cheng Chuliang also knew that his words were in place, and he didn't talk to him anymore, so he immediately beckoned everyone to eat meat and drink a lot of wine.

While drinking, Cheng Chuliang smiled at everyone and said, "It's done." ”

"You're too risky." Li Dexuan shook his head when he heard him say this, of course he knew what Cheng Chuliang was doing, but Yao Da's identity was a double-edged sword.

"You don't understand." Cheng Chuliang shook his head and said, "If we hide this matter, it will not be good, don't worry." ”

Yao Da was on the side, and said with some embarrassment: "If my identity will affect you or His Royal Highness, I will go back to Datang and go to Chang'an by myself." ”

"!" Fang Yiai was not happy when he heard this, "Lao Tzu's own brothers, since I didn't leave you in the Tang Dynasty, and I will leave you in Daming, Your Highness knows it, and you have to peel us off."

You can rest assured, Cheng Laoer, this guy, although the eggs are useless, but the brain melon seeds are very good. He said it was okay, and that was really fine. ”

"You can't talk and shut up...... Cheng Chuliang was also speechless, when he met this guy, he was speechless.

And when they were drinking and laughing, Li Chengqian also received an urgent report from Cheng Chuliang in Daming Palace.

Because of the importance of the matter, Cheng Chuliang did not send someone to deliver a letter to Li Chengqian until he arrived in Deyang City.

After reading the letter, Li Chengqian said angrily: "Cheng Lao Er is so bold, he dares to make his own decisions about such a big matter!" ”

In the emergency report, Cheng Chuliang not only said about the slaughter of the Yin family in Chang'an, but also not only said Yao Da's identity, but more importantly, he also leaked Yao Da's identity.

This is the most fatal problem in Li Chengqian's view.

He is not ready to fight with Li Erdou now.

If Li Er knew that he harbored the rebellious ministers who were ready to overthrow him and restore Li Yuan, God knows what Li Er thought.

As for Yao Da's identity, he was not surprised.

From the very beginning, he sensed that Yao Da must have a secret that no one knows.

It's just that he didn't expect that he would be the descendant of the eldest grandson Anye.

"Your Highness, don't be angry, Grandpa Cheng is young, and sometimes he doesn't know how important things to do, Your Highness must not hurt himself for such things." After Gonggong Yuan arrived at Sun Moon Mountain, it was the first time he saw Li Chengqian have such a big temper, and now he was relieved as when he was in the East Palace.

When Li Chengqian saw him, he suddenly asked, "Do you remember the eldest grandson Anye?" ”

"Eldest grandson Anye?" Yuan Gonggong thought for a while, and suddenly said, "The half-brother of the queen mother? ”

"Yes, that's it." Li Chengqian nodded.

He didn't know anything about the eldest grandson Anye, and if it weren't for Cheng Chuliang mentioning it, he wouldn't even know who this person was.

"This old slave remembers." Gonggong Yuan said, "In the past, His Royal Highness was still young, and he may not remember it, if this person was not blessed by the queen's mother, I am afraid that he would have died long ago."

But now it seems that his whereabouts are unknown, and his whereabouts are unknown.

Speaking of which, he did a lot of bastard things back then. ”

"Huh?" Li Chengqian was a little puzzled and said, "Tell me, what have you done." ”

"Speaking of which, it has something to do with the queen's mother." Gonggong Yuan lived for a long time and lived in the deep palace for a long time, but he knew a lot about these, "When the queen mother and the Duke of Qi lost their father at a young age, the eldest grandson Anye was worried that the Duke of Qi and him would compete for the title of the family, so he ruthlessly drove the queen mother and the Duke of Qi out of the eldest grandson's house.

This is also the reason why the Duke of Qi and the Empress Niang grew up in the Duke of Xu's mansion.

Later, His Majesty ascended to Dabao, and the eldest grandson Anye was worried that the Empress Mother and the Duke of Qi would retaliate against him, so he rebelled against several traitors and prepared to help Emperor Taishang restore.

But he didn't want to think about it, if it weren't for the queen's mother, he would have sat in such a high position at the beginning of the founding of the Tang Dynasty?

In the end, it was the queen's mother who was kind-hearted and begged His Majesty, which saved his life, if it weren't for that, he would have died back then.

And ......"

After listening to Yuan's father-in-law, Li Chengqian nodded.

Who is Empress Changsun, he also knows something from the classics of later generations.

In this way, the person who protects Sun Anye is actually his titular mother.

Thinking about it like this, he suddenly understood Cheng Chuliang's purpose for doing this.

"Why did His Highness suddenly ask about the eldest grandson Anye?" Gonggong Yuan asked cautiously.

Li Chengqian knew that he was tempting, but he didn't take it seriously, handed him the letter from Cheng Chuliang and said, "You will know it when you read it." ”

"The old slave doesn't dare." Gonggong Yuan immediately bowed down and said, "It's the old slave who is lying in vain." ”

Seeing him like this, Li Chengqian nodded.

If this guy really dares to accept the letter, then his road to the Ming Dynasty will come to an end.

"Passed on to the eldest Sun Chong." Sighing, Li Chengqian said.

He really couldn't find a few people to discuss this matter.

In the entire Ming Dynasty, it is estimated that there are few people who know about the affairs of the eldest grandson Anye.

Now, it may be the eunuch next to him and Pei Mo and others in the six cities of the grassland.

As soon as the eldest Sun Chong arrived, Li Chengqian handed him Cheng Chuliang's letter.

"You take a look first, and then talk back after reading."

Changsun Chong was still a little curious, but after reading the content of the letter, the whole person was stunned.

"Speaking of which, this is still you and my relatives!" Li Chengqian saw that Changsun Chong had finished reading the letter, and immediately patted Changsun Chong's shoulder, "Let's talk about it, what should I do?" ”

"Your Highness, this ......" Eldest Sun Chong was also stunned.

Of course, he knew about the eldest grandson Anye, but he didn't expect that Yao Da was the son of the eldest grandson Anye......
