Chapter 370: The Weaving Industry That Is Not Messed With (Part I)
After listening to the situation report of Brother Lin, after thinking twice, Lin sent someone to spread the word and asked the Weaving Industry Office to negotiate with the Renewal Academy tomorrow.
Being asked by the industry to reduce the treatment of their own weavers may sound ridiculous to later generations.
But in this day and age, it is a very common thing and even taken for granted.
Due to the lack of government control, the autonomous organizations formed within the industry mainly appeared in large cities and handicrafts.
The guild is not the same as the association of later generations, it has more power than the association of later generations. You can directly set prices and divide the market, and in an industry that pays attention to the inheritance of masters and apprentices, you have to take care of even the matter of accepting apprentices.
Employees who violate the rules of the guild will be punished by the whole industry, which is not a joke, and there will even be lynching, and the government will not care.
As a simple example, if a blacksmith overcharges a few more apprentices without authorization, and wantonly increases production and lowers the price of products, this will break the local rules of the industry.
The guild was able to smash the blacksmith shop and take the offending blacksmith to the trade office and whip the public, and the government approved of this.
This is why later textbooks will say that the guild system of feudal society hinders the development of capitalism.
Some people may want to ask, why didn't Yangzhou Salt Industry see a guild office? That's because the government has strict control over the salt industry, and the Salt Transportation Division actually plays the role of a guild, so naturally there is no need for another industry office.
Lin Daguan originally estimated that the Cai Yushi in Yangzhou was about to fall, and he was going to Yangzhou again to carry out the big robbery, ah no, it was to receive.
But he didn't expect that Suzhou City had a conflict with the Weaving Industry Office, which made Lin Daguan feel unskilled again.
In this regard, Lin Daguan could only sigh to the left and right protectors around him: "There are still not enough talents, when will you be able to grow up?"
If you have enough ability, you can go to Yangzhou instead of me to take care of the aftermath! ”
Zhang Wu, the right protector, muttered: "If you go to Yangzhou to receive this kind of thing, you can only sit in the museum and go in person, no matter how strong our ability is."
After all, there are still Wu Tian's family, Miss Wang Jia and others in Yangzhou, how can others accept them? ”
Lin sat in the hall: "."
Zuo Dharma Protector Zhang Wen opened his mouth and said: "Why do you care so much about the weaving industry?
Now sitting in the museum to control the Xu River and bring the cities, there are thousands of heroes under my hands, no matter how you look at it, it is also an advantage for me. ”
Lin Daguan slapped Zhang Wen and reprimanded: "Don't say that the advantage is in me in the future!" ”
Zhang Wu also interjected: "I really don't understand, now sitting in the hall is shocking Suzhou City, where does the weaving industry office get the courage and the number of people who sit in the museum?" ”
Lin Tailai said: "You can't underestimate them, the weaving industry is different from the opponents we met in the past. ”
The popular rebellion carried out by his Lin officials is currently controlled at the level of 1,000 people; The weaving industry is capable of making a scale of 10,000 people.
For example, Ge Cheng, the famous leader of the Suzhou Civil Revolution during the Wanli period in history and the same name as the five righteous scholars in the textbooks of later generations, was a weaver.
This Ge Cheng launched a large-scale popular rebellion in the 29th year of Wanli to besiege the weaving eunuch Sun Long, and was finally imprisoned for more than ten years before being released.
Fortunately, Ge Cheng's main activity was in the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, and if it was placed in the Qing Dynasty, the end would at least be beheaded.
All in all, historical experience shows that the industrial workers are inherently more organized than the peasants, even if they are only early industrial workers in the embryonic years of capitalism.
Even Qi Jiguang conscripted soldiers, and he also knew that it was not for nothing that he was recruited from the miners.
That night, Lin Daguan returned to the Xumen Renewal Academy to rest, and asked the maidservant, "Why don't you see Secretary Bai?" Where did it go? ”
Because she is in charge of clerical work, Bai Ji usually follows Lin Daguan, and when Lin Daguan lives there, she follows wherever she goes.
The maidservant replied: "Huang and Fan both came to invite Secretary Bai, so Secretary Bai went to Hengtang to be a guest with Mudu. ”
Lin Daguan muttered in his heart, this white secretary actually dared to break into the tiger's den in Longtan?
Is she so big-hearted? As your personal secretary, aren't you afraid of being jealous of other harem members?
There was no white secretary, Lin Daguan looked at the maid again, and her appearance was not very satisfactory, so she had to sleep by herself.
And the next day, Lin Daguan was waiting in the renewal academy for people from the weaving industry office to come to negotiate.
But in the morning, before the people of the weaving industry office, they first heard a report from Menzi that the general manager of the year came to visit.
Although Lin Daguan was a little surprised, he still let people in.
"Congratulations on your promotion!" The year will always meet and worship.
Lin Daguan asked, "Do you have something?" Why don't you wait for me at the garrison office? ”
Nian General said: "Xia Guan thinks about it, the affairs of Suzhou City are inseparable from Chief Lin at the helm, so Chief Lin must be extremely busy every day, and all kinds of affairs are complicated, and he must be very tired." ”
Lin Daguan said with deep emotion: "Who said it wasn't? The agriculture, commerce, transportation, and charity industries in Suzhou City are enough for me to worry about, and now the industry needs me to take care of it.
Not to mention the official affairs in the yamen, from the county government to the government office, to the health department, and now there is a garrison office, where do I not need to worry about it? ”
The general hurriedly continued: "Therefore, the subordinate thinks that there should be a deputy in the garrison office to help the chief share some trivial tasks. ”
Lin Daguan blinked his eyes and said blankly, "Then what?" ”
The general puffed up his chest: "The lower officer is proficient in training and using soldiers, and he was responsible for guarding the west gate in the past few years, so he also has a lot of experience in city defense!" ”
Lin Daguan blinked again, and still said blankly: "Then what? ”
The general hint of the year was not moved, so he had to whisper: "The lower officials want to follow the example of the ancients Mao Sui's self-recommendation."
"So you want to be a deputy guard!" Lin Daguan suddenly realized, and said: "But the Zhao Dawu who was stationed in Yangzhou Shuicicang also wants to return to Suzhou City.
He was born and died several times with me in Yangzhou, carrying guns and sharing spoils together! ”
"But there's a unique advantage in the next one!" Hearing that there was such a strong competitor, he hurriedly said.
This time, Lin Daguan was finally really surprised, and couldn't help asking, "What unique advantages do you have?" ”
The general reminded him: "When Chief Lin was at the end of the year before last, he committed a lawsuit, and the subordinate arrested Chief Lin with his own hands!" ”
Lin Tailai: "."
You'd better explain why this is called "unique advantage"?
The general said: "Therefore, if the commander recommends me as a deputy guard, my reputation will definitely rise to a higher level!"
When the time comes, the people will praise the deeds of Lin Shou and the virtuous and not avoiding revenge, and praise Lin Shou's magnanimous character! ”
Lin Daguan laughed a few times "haha" and said: "This official has always cherished talents!"
Today you will go to the garrison office on duty and temporarily act as deputy garrison! Wait for me to play the court, and recommend you to become a regular! ”
Ask for the last monthly pass of the month!! Today's reception of relatives, I can only see the stitches written, first send a little to ask for tickets, and then send them in the middle of the night.
