Although the princess of Jin is busy, Mao Dayin has not been idle recently, although his serial plan to sow discord has not been effective, but it has finally made Eleven Niang annoyed, in order to prevent Mao Wei from having any more idleness and secretly suffocating, Eleven Niang also found some affairs to worry about him, specifically, through the mouth of the traitor Ji Lun, let Mao Wei know that she intended to cut off his arm.

First of all, Liu Li, the judicial officer, was designated by Lu Li to preside over the case of Tang Qian's accusation, but there was a confession from Wu Sanhao's father and son, Liu Li knew that he could not let Tang Qian clear his name no matter what, but this time, Mao Wei still confessed that he tried his best to sit on the responsibility of Zhen Shoulu, at least to protect Tang Qian from criminal crimes, Liu Li wanted to break his head, and he couldn't think of a way to deal with it, Yu Yong is still waiting to be punished, and there is a lesson from the previous car, Liu Li inevitably looks forward and backward, so he has to "accidentally wind and cold" and sue for sick leave.

In the end, Lu Li presided over the trial, and the result was, of course, Tang Qian's sentence, because it involved the Wu family, there was no public trial, only the verdict was made public, and the common people were convinced, although there were some Mao Wei party members who questioned it, but even many children of the family were convinced that Zhen Shoulu was innocent, and public opinion became a one-sided trend.

But after Liu Li "recovered", it was difficult to reinstate, Xue Shaoyin said bluntly: "Liu Judicial is in weak health, unbearable criminal case, this official has reported to the Ministry of Officials, suggesting that Taiyuan Mansion Justice, maybe there will be an order soon, Liu Judicial or rest assured." ”

Liu Liru was struck by lightning, no matter what, he didn't expect his evasion, he still couldn't escape the suppression of the Jin Dynasty, and begged Mao Wei to "uphold justice" with tears in his eyes, although Mao Wei was dissatisfied with Liu Li's timidity and fear, but he couldn't tolerate the provocation of the Jin Dynasty, and was busy fighting a lawsuit with Xue Shaoyin.

The other is that Yang Qu Ling and the other two people who "disagree with Ji Lun's political views" are also being closely watched by the Jin Dynasty, and are secretly investigating their handles, intending to launch impeachment, Mao Wei knows that although these three people have no evil deeds of killing people, the corruption and perversion of the law are real, and they are naturally busy destroying the evidence.

In this way, although he heard that the maid of the Zhu family was in front of the Jin Palace, the princess ignored the case of Liu's cruel abuse of her stepdaughter, and Mao Wei was not distracted, in fact, he heard Chen Baijia confidently mention this time, so he was very disapproving, because so many methods of sowing discord earlier were cracked by Princess Jin one by one, and the only effect was that Ji Lun was trusted, Mao Wei did not think that Chen could succeed, but he did not stop this matter, so when he heard this result, he pouted his lips and said, "That's right".

Mao Wei's current concern is that the imperial court has just delivered the edict of "opening an official kiln".

He had been looking forward to this edict for a long time, and as soon as he received it, he couldn't wait to convene his subordinates to discuss, of course, this meeting was mainly aimed at Lu Li.

The location of the official kiln of the Great Zhou Dynasty was originally concentrated in Gyeonggi, of course, this does not mean that there is no kiln in the convenient place, such as Yuezhou, Dingzhou and other places, in fact, the porcelain fired is also very exquisite, Taiyuan also has a merchant to open a kiln, the main production of white porcelain, glaze, but these kilns are not officially controlled, in addition to the payment of commercial taxes, the profits also belong to the merchants, the imperial court set up an edict of the official kiln, although it will not have an impact on the kilns in various places, but it will definitely recruit craftsmen, and the construction of kilns in the early stage also needs an expense.

"This matter cannot be delayed, only where the materials used to build the kiln come from, and where the kiln workers come from, this requires the princess to take an idea." Mao Wei knew that the King of Jin was an ornament, and his speech was straightforward now: "Although the government still has some treasury savings, first, to pay the salaries of officials and maintain the operation of various departments, and secondly, to prevent the shortage of military supplies in front, to buy grain and millet supplies, can not be spent arbitrarily, the official also knows the princess's difficulties, seeing that there is still a large deficit in the compensation of military dependents, and it is difficult to worry about such a ......"

Mao Wei sighed, but he was really happy in his heart.

Mao Tending followed up with the suggestion: "There is a priority and urgency, the matter of compensating the military family is better for the time being, the lower officials have estimated that the kiln is set up ten, at least 1,000 craftsmen need to be recruited, and it is not just labor, so at least 100 master craftsmen are needed, this group of people must be forcibly requisitioned from the people's kilns, and the kiln is weak in defense, so the kiln workers cannot be convicts, and because the official kilns are set up, the laborers need to serve for a long time, and they cannot only rely on the servants, but the rest of the craftsmen, and they can only forcibly recruit the people of good nationality. ”

Don't look at this time, the tax law stipulates the date of the people's annual service, but often the imperial court decrees, the government has an excuse for forced expropriation, the law reflects the will of the monarch, and the interests of the monarch are also safeguarded, not the protection of the common people.

However, once craftsmen are forcibly recruited, it will inevitably cause public resentment to boil, which greatly violates the self-proclaimed self-proclaimed impartiality and compassion of the Jin Dynasty.

In fact, compared with Yuezhou and other kiln production areas, Taiyuan Mansion only allocated ten official kilns, has been regarded as the Queen Mother extraordinarily "open", official kiln products have always been to meet the needs of the royal family, or used to reward noble officials and gifts from various countries, from the shape to the quality have strict requirements, non-compliant finished products are all scrapped, sometimes even full of kilns are waste, the output is too small, must be widely set up, in order to meet the Queen Mother's use of the Great Zhou official kiln to collect money "national politics", but this edict was issued, the whole country, at least 100,000 good people became craftsmen.

However, in fact, the kiln order was only limited to Gyeonggi, because Xu Xiuneng, Chai tori and so on "supervised and supervised", the number of tired craftsmen reached hundreds, and once they were recruited as potters, they were separated from their families, wives and children, and even when their parents died, they could not go home to mourn.

Officials such as Mao Wei may not be unaware of the calamities that this government has caused to the people, but because it is not their own business, they ignore it, and even think that it is an excellent opportunity to make good use of it and thwart their political opponents.

Lu Li looked at the faces of his uncle and nephew who were complacent and afraid that the world would not be chaotic, and he was really bored in his heart, and his expression was also cold. "There is no need for Mao Dayin to worry about this matter, the princess has already prepared, and hundreds of masters can entrust Pei Zijian to Yuezhou and other places to hire, and kiln workers can also recruit willing people."

Mao Wei couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "Willing? ”

Is this really funny, good people will have people who volunteer to be craftsmen?

"As long as they are paid well, I believe that many people will be willing to work in the kiln to support their families."

Mao Wei couldn't help but sneer again: "Generous salary? The princess doesn't know how to do public works, so doesn't Xue Shaoyin know anything about it? The official kiln is out, but it has to pay tribute to the imperial court, and there are as many as 1,000 laborers, how can the local government give a good salary? ! ”

"Ah......" Lu Li patted his forehead: "There is one thing, I forgot to inform Dayin, before the kiln order was issued, the queen mother mentioned this matter when replying to the princess's report, just because the situation in Taiyuan is not ordinary, but also let the princess be prepared, the princess then submitted a proposal, imploring the queen mother to treat it differently, therefore, the queen mother allowed the Taiyuan Mansion official kiln products can be delivered to various countries by the Jin Palace, and how to manage the official kiln can also be coordinated by the princess. ”

That is to say, the finished products produced by the ten official kilns in Taiyuan Mansion actually have the right to sell privately, but the object cannot be ordinary merchants, and can only be levied from foreign merchants or merchants entrusted by the mission to purchase, and the benefits obtained will not be handed over to the imperial court, but used as military supplies, so the details of the kiln workers' salaries and even how to manage them will certainly not be asked by the imperial court.

This was a big surprise to Mao Wei, and for him, it was tantamount to a heavy blow to the head.

Only then did he realize that he had really underestimated the means of the Jin princess, and he was able to persuade the queen mother to give up the benefits of the official kiln of Taiyuan Mansion and hand it over to the Jin Palace!

In fact, Eleven Niang even thought about setting up an official kiln in Taiyuan at first, but in this way, she had to say the fallacy of this policy, she did not think that the Queen Mother would not know the hidden consequences of this policy, but moved by interests, Fang pretended not to notice, Eleven Niang debunked this truth, the Queen Mother not only will not end the fallacy, but will even be dissatisfied with Eleven Niang, which is not conducive to the situation in Taiyuan, and is not conducive to the great cause of King Jin.

Therefore, in the end, Eleven Niang still chose such a countermeasure.

As long as the Queen Mother handed over the official kiln of Taiyuan Mansion to the Jin Palace, then the benefits can be used for the military, and it can also solve the livelihood problem of some people who have no permanent property.

For her, the only thing worth worrying about is that she doesn't expect the government in Mao Wei to be able to "cheat" money for the advance expenditure of opening kilns in the fourteen counties under the rule of Taiyuan, and such a large expenditure cannot be relied on by her dowry alone.

It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and the dignified princess of Jin really feels stretched this time.

Fortunately!

Pei Sange's treasure meeting, which has been preparing for a long time, can finally be held.
