Sure enough.

Zhu Bai's face immediately turned red when he heard this, obviously because he was talking about something.

"If you have something, ask, what does it look like!"

Zhu Fan looked at Zhu Bai, looking disgusting with a shy and bowed his head.

raised his hand and gave his stinky brother a brain meltdown.

Zhu Bai covered his forehead with one hand and glared at Zhu Fan angrily.

turned his gaze to Lin Che:

"Sir, I have been talking with the craftsmen who have repaired the city walls and the official offices in the past two days, and I found that Greedy Mo is also very dissatisfied with the Ming Dynasty's craftsman system, and there are many grievances against the imperial court in his words."

"But whenever I bring the topic to the elimination of the maladministration of artisan households, and the work and wages for the imperial court, the vast majority of artisan households will fall into inexplicable fear and will never talk to me again."

Speaking of this, Zhu Bai's little eyes were full of confusion and incomprehension.

He asked Lin Che, "Sir, although there are noble people in the world, there are people who are not good at money. ”

"Craftsmen who reliably craft their crafts to eat are obviously not among them, and do you know why they change color when they talk about wages?"

Because Zhu Bai is well versed in the way of throwing money, chatting with craftsmen is a way to open the way with treasure money, and because he is young, the craftsmen have no defense against him.

Often unintentionally, he will set up something useful.

It's just that he will Lin Che's savings on wages will waste more of the country's finances.

When I talk to the craftsmen, I always startle the people and run away.

No craftsman dares to say more than half a word on this topic.

After this unfinished practical lesson.

Zhu Bai felt that the disadvantages of the Ming craftsman household system seemed to be far more than what Mr. Lin said.

If you don't figure it out, there is a hidden secret.

No amount of reform of the artisan household system is useless.

When Zhu Fan heard this, he also echoed: "Sir, yesterday I pretended to be the captain of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion, and I also talked with a few craftsmen. ”

"And they are also very secretive about wages, as if after the court gives them wages, they want their lives."

"Could it be that someone has long threatened these craftsmen in the matter of wages?"

"Hahaha, one of you is a rich boy who throws money everywhere, and a captain of the Fifth Army who pretends to be the captain of the Fifth Army of the Mighty Beijing Division, and he can produce so many things, he is already a simple craftsman of my Ming Dynasty."

After listening to the narration of the two, Lin Che immediately burst into laughter.

He stretched out his hand and patted the table, saying, "The reason why the craftsmen are reluctant to pay the court is very simple. ”

"They are just afraid of corrupt officials."

Zhu Fan and Zhu Bai looked at each other.

Incomprehensible: "Sir, not to mention how much money the craftsman can get for working hard." ”

"Even if there are greedy people who pluck their feathers, they can always have some leftover."

After all, when there is no pay, the craftsmen also have to work hard.

With wages, I still do the same work.

Even if you get less in the end, you still earn it.

"Alas, you guys, don't be so naïve when looking at things."

Lin Che drank the warm daughter red for a moment, and smiled faintly: "I am a big Ming, even the military budget dares to pluck the goose." ”

"Millions of silver, before they leave the capital, can be divided in half."

"The wages of the stinky artisan households, not a lump sum, are all in their own pockets, why do you have to make such a profit?"

After listening to Lin Che's analysis, Zhu Fan nodded approvingly:

"As far as I know, every time the imperial court builds a palace, it is always a petty official who takes the opportunity to resell the materials for building houses."

"For the sake of money, these bandits dare to even cut off their heads."

"If the craftsmen who work have a salary, they will not let go of this opportunity to make money."

The corrupt people of the Ming Dynasty have always been very bold.

A low-level ant like a craftsman who can step on a small official.

How can those people who are hungry for profit not make a fortune from them?

And Zhu Bai was shocked by Lin Che's complaints about the Ming officials and embezzlement of military funds.

Fortunately, he had just heard Lin Che talk about how to destroy Goryeo.

However, he quickly relented and asked, "Sir, according to what you said, even the wages of those craftsmen have been swallowed up by corrupt officials. ”

"But even if they don't get a penny, it's just the same as if they didn't get paid before."

"In the absence of gains and losses, where does the fear of the craftsmen come from?"

Anyway, the craftsmen have worked for the court for so many years.

Since the salary is not in hand, it does not mean that there is no change in life.

Zhu Bai believes that Lin Che blames everything on the corrupt people, which is really a little unreasonable.

"How can it be the same when wages are paid and when they are not?"

Lin Che patiently explained: "There is a way, there must be rewards and punishments, and after there is a salary, the imperial court will inevitably implement an assessment system." ”

"If you do well, your wages may not rise, but if you do poorly, you will inevitably be fined."

"And the wages of the craftsmen have fallen into the pockets of others, and they have to pay for this fine out of their own pockets, how can they not be afraid?"

Nowadays, the craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty, although they have to work for a few months every year.

The work during this period was hard.

However, in the end, he was able to borrow the materials of the imperial court to practice his craft.

It's not too much of a loss.

But if the imperial court began to pay the craftsmen.

After the salaries fell into the pockets of corrupt officials and corrupt officials, those with poor craftsmanship might have to pay silver upside down and work for the court in vain.

And in those days, most people don't have much savings.

If there is too much money and subsidy, the whole family will inevitably starve to death at that time.

In addition, no matter how good the craftsmanship is, there is no guarantee of 100% yield.

It has become a sure thing to lose money for working for the imperial court.

As a result, experienced craftsmen naturally avoided the topic of wages.

This may sound bizarre.

However, Zhu Fan had already heard from Lin Che about the evil deeds of many corrupt people in later generations.

After pondering for a moment, he thought that his husband had said.

It is very likely that the artisan will pay for the work.

Zhu Fan couldn't help but scolded: "This group of damn miscellaneous people don't even leave a way for the artisan to live." ”

"Aren't they afraid of forcing these low-level people to rebel, and they will have their lives to earn in the future?"

Lin Che really wanted to say that in the future, Daming would die at the hands of the people.

It's just that today's lesson has nothing to do with that.

He didn't mention it, but laughed, "Instead of talking about these useless curses, you should think about how to prevent the things that the craftsmen are afraid of from happening." ”

In the secret room next door.

After listening to Zhu Yuanzhang's two sons, the problems he found in the practical class.

Originally, it was still for them, and the keen observation showed a rare gratification.

As a result, after Lin Che revealed the reason why the craftsmen were afraid of wages.

Zhu Yuanzhang's whole face suddenly turned black like the bottom of a pot.
