"Your Majesty, the Third Young Master's Workshop can't always be in the hands of Princess Jinyang, right?" Tang Jian glanced at Wei Zheng and Li Jing who were also shocked, swallowed subconsciously, and asked nervously.
It's not that Princess Jinyang lacks ability and can't manage the workshop well, nor does it mean that Princess Jinyang's skills are lacking and she can't control the craftsmen. But after she gets married, whether she is the prince consort or the princess, she will have children.
Even if Shangguan and the maids help, it will involve a lot of energy from her, and her time to manage the workshop will inevitably be reduced a lot. However, the number of tasks in the workshop will only increase, and it may not be appropriate to leave them all to subordinate officials.
"You all seem to have forgotten something. Why is the Third Young Master the third young master in the workshop?" Li Yuanying discovered that when subordinate officials were older, they did have experience in handling things, but the problem of increasingly poor memory also existed.
Pei Chengxian saw the three bosses, Li Jing, Wei Zheng and Tang Jian, still looking confused, and reminded in a low voice: "The prince and King Jin have also joined the Sanshao Workshop, and the prince has 40% of the decision-making power."
Sanshao Workshop was originally established by Princess Jinyang and the princess dragging the prince of Jin. The princess took charge of the prince's one third. After the prince returned from the Corn Continent, in order to curb the development speed of Princess Jinyang, he asked for 40% of the decision-making power. Princess Jinyang nodded in agreement without any hesitation.
Wei Gong, Tang Fu and Yaoshi Gong seemed to have forgotten another point. As a tea girl, Princess Jinyang listened to the government in the East Side Hall at least ten days a month. Who is your Majesty? If Princess Jinyang didn't have that talent, he wouldn't have been able to arrange it like this.
"Oh? Oh! Oh!" Tang Jian, Wei Zheng, and Li Jing suddenly remembered that Princess Jinyang was in charge.
Li Jing poured tea tactically, His Majesty would never change the title of Princess Jinyang to Prince, and Prince Teng and Prince Jin were in charge of the Third Young Master's Workshop. Even if the princess is busy taking care of the children and has no time for management, King Teng will arrange for Du Siliang or Xiao Shiyilang to manage them.
After pouring the tea, his thoughts were straightened out, and he suggested: "Your Majesty, I think it is necessary to establish at least two or three more workshops, whether it is to form healthy competition or to respect the living habits of different regions. After all, with the territory As the differences between north, south, and east become bigger and bigger, Princess Jinyang will inevitably be unable to cope."
"Mr. Medicine Master, I think so too, but it's hard for a clever wife to make a living without rice." Li Yuanying stood up and sat next to Li Jing, settling the talent score with him with his fingers, and sighed softly. "All the people in the Taoist sect who can take the lead have been picked out. Even if they are not Ye Wujisou, there are not even a few raccoon slaves left."
"As for the craftsmen, you know better than me how many people are needed to build roads and bridges. Those veterans of the Shogun Army and logistics veterans have been requisitioned. If we transfer people from Zhechong Duwei's Mansion or the frontier fortress, there will be a big loss. Problem."
"There is a difference between the craftsmen who build houses and the craftsmen who build roads and bridges. Even if they can build the frame of blue bricks, the other wooden crafts cannot be learned in three or two days. The Ministry of Works, the Shaofu and the General Supervisor No matter how capable the craftsmen are, they are not immortals and cannot let their apprentices start training in just three or two years."
"Then let's talk about the professionals who calculate the accounts. Even if Du Siliang and Xiao Shiyi spend twelve hours a day and three hundred and sixty-five days a year, they can't conjure up the three heads and six arms to clear out the abacus. All accounts."
"..." Li Jing stretched out his hand to stop Li Yuanying from continuing to crack his fingers. There are indeed many accountants in those big families, but... let's not talk about their business capabilities. Each family has a lot of things to do, and they want to allocate manpower. It's also difficult.
Even if they reluctantly recruit people, they don't dare to just pull them over and use them. They still have to train and assess again and train and assess again... Without a year and a half of experience, let alone being on their own, whether they can keep up with the speed of accounting is a matter of course. Big problem.
However, it is better to have something than nothing... He suggested softly: "Your Majesty, we can try to recruit some more people from each family. Their background is still very solid."
"This is going to trouble you three." Li Yuanying smiled like a little fox and rubbed his hands. "Since those people want to share the meat, they must invest some money upfront. How much meat they can share depends on their investment strength."
Li Jing and Wei Zheng glared at Tang Jian at the same time: The good King Teng was forced to go astray by your teachings!
"My lord, do you really want to share the meat with them?" Tang Jian ignored the big eyes of Li Jing and Wei Zheng. They were both foxes for thousands of years, pretending to be pure and innocent little white rabbits. "If we really want to divide the meat, we have to draw up a good charter, and there shouldn't be any omissions in the selection work."
Throwing a piece of meat out will naturally attract a pack of wolves...and dogs around it, just like the elk near the river written by King Teng. The outside dogs were happy and angry when they saw it, and they ate it together, leaving a mess on the road. For the sake of environmental cleanliness, they should not be allowed to litter the roads.
"I can ask you to help negotiate a deal. It shows that you cannot easily refuse the middleman they found." Li Yuanying poured another cup of tea for Li Jing, returned to the original low couch, picked up the tea cup and took a sip to warm it. The tea tastes good too. Yun Danfeng smiled softly. "I'm afraid that after some time, the Prime Minister and the others will also be dragged into the water."
Whenever you reach a certain position as an official, certain things will gradually become out of your control. A good man has three gangs, a sedan chair and a person carrying people are not just two simple sayings, but a real sense of human nature. In idol dramas, there are plots where the emperor can do whatever he wants with just one sentence, and there are plots where a steadfast and loyal minister is recognized by the emperor and promoted to a noble position, and then kills corrupt officials with his backhand. Just watch it, don't take it seriously. Only Hai Rui, the official representative who is steadfast and loyal and does not know how to deal with tact, has a strong say.
"The competition for the selection of Prince Consort is fierce, I am afraid it will not be weaker than that of Princess Jin." Wei Zheng said with a worried frown on his brows. "After all, for the aristocratic family, that is the easiest and fastest way."
Xue Wanche was appointed as the Minister of War, Liu Dewei was appointed as the Minister of Punishment, and Li Daozong was appointed as the Minister of Work. The six clans of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce accounted for half of the country. The future of the older generation of Prince Consort Captains was booming. The new batch of prince-in-law captains such as Du He, Yang Yuzhi and Fang Yiai also made amazing achievements in their respective official positions.
The prince's residence has 1,200 households, and the princess's residence has at least 600 households. But the prince has more than a dozen well-known concubines and wives. Even if the princess likes to be seen, as long as she is not a flamboyant and dissolute person like Princess Shanin, there are only two or three at most. Being a prince-in-law is much easier than being a princess, but the benefits are not much less, which is very cost-effective.
Li Yuanying: "..."
