A wine shop is a place for drinking, but as the owner, Fang Fang doesn't drink at all.
At most, it's just a tour, which doesn't cost much.
In the private room, Fang Fang lit the fire set, threw it into the small red clay stove, and took advantage of the time it took to light the fire to play with the tea set.
"You're living a good life, are you drinking tea?"
The door opened and the empress walked into the box slowly, "But have you ever thought about your sister who works so hard?"
"..."
Seeing the sister walking into the box, Fang Fang couldn't help but feel dumbfounded, "What's going on?"
"What's wrong?"
"Have you made it clear about the eighth-level worker? It's a no-brainer, doesn't it mean that my sister needs to make another trip?" The empress opened her mouth to complain a lot, but in fact it was just to explain the origin of this trip. After all, she didn't want to be in the equation. Expose identity.
Hearing this, Fang Fang couldn't help but froze, but he quickly explained, "The eighth-level worker is just a suggestion, it can be five or nine. What's important is the meaning of accomplishing the thing. The level is a means, not the point. The reason why eight levels are advocated is because there are more levels, the benefits and benefits of each level can be divided more clearly, and at the same time, the promotion standards are made clear, so that middle and lower-level craftsmen can see hope, instead of being as vague as in the past!"
The empress nodded, roughly understanding the thinking of the eighth-level worker, "How to clarify the standards?"
"Standards for each industry are different. The number of years available in the early stage is low. It doesn't matter the skill level. The key is attitude. With skills, attitude will naturally improve. You can be promoted as an apprentice for three years and to a formal level every two years!"
"What about mid- to high-level?"
"In the middle and high levels, masters with skills and reputations in the industry can be gathered together to evaluate each other. A few highly respected people will be selected to be rated as level 8, and 10% of the rest will be assigned to level 7, 20% to level 6, and 30% to level 5. The remaining four levels will appear rough at first, which will make some people dissatisfied, but in just two or three years, the specific technical standards will not require us to take the initiative, and senior craftsmen will classify them themselves, and then they will be considered comprehensively."
"This method is good, rough but highly recognized. It is more satisfactory than simply dividing by officials. However, there are still several problems. The subordinates of the court can implement it, but what about the private sector? In addition, there are many internal rules among craftsmen, and there will be standards in the future. If the master doesn’t teach, it means there is nothing!” the empress asked again.
"Actually, this is a problem!"
"one question?"
Fang Fang nodded, "It's just a problem. In the final analysis, craftsmen are not valued and their social status is too low. If the master craftsmen don't follow the old rules, they will probably starve to death when they get old and weak. At the same time, it will be difficult to take care of the children. Aren’t you a fool if you compare your feelings with others and don’t hide your feelings?”
"How to solve?"
The empress originally intended to use the eighth-level worker as an excuse, but she didn't expect that there were so many things going on.
Fortunately, I asked. If she didn't know this, she would probably approve it directly after the chief executive submitted the charter, thus turning a good policy into an anticlimax.
"The people don't need to think about it. The court will take the lead. If the results are achieved, the people will naturally follow. After all, the craftsmen are not slaves. They will make their own choices. The salary can be higher. As for other aspects such as apprenticeships, they will not be considered. When it is fully promoted, the court will benefit from this, and the retirement benefits of the master will be linked to the apprentice's level, the core contradiction will be resolved, and the rest will be simple!"
Fangfang has a complete system in mind, but many things cannot be copied.
Not to mention the effect, the initial expenditure alone could overwhelm the Wu Dynasty's finances, and it would be over before it even started.
"By the way, sister, what are you going to eat later?"
Looking at his sister who was deep in thought, Fang Fang spoke.
As for the negotiation with Richang Xing, he had already forgotten about it. He didn't mention Lao Pu who always followed his sister, but he said that if he misses today, he can make another appointment tomorrow.
"Lao Pu will take care of the outside matters, but there is something wrong with me. I always feel that something is wrong, but I don't know where the mistake is?"
With that said, the empress explained Nian Run's proposal.
After a brief silence, Fang Fang rubbed his eyebrows and said, "Sister Zhao, what you just said, that Minister of War, is really a talent!"
"Talent? Are you sure?"
Looking at the strange expression on Fang Fang's face, the empress felt more and more that the "talent" in Fang Fang's words meant something different than what she thought.
"When you meet an opponent in chess, you will meet a talented person. The empress and the two of us are our rulers and ministers. They are worthy of being a pair of sleeping dragons and phoenixes?"
Bang!
A chestnut hit Fang Fang on the head, and the empress looked slightly angry, "Speak up!"
Fang Fang covered his head and asked instead, "The truth is reasonable, but there is a core question. Can all armies implement the method of increasing troops and reducing firepower?"
Hearing this, the empress shook her head, "No!"
"Yes, there are three prerequisites for increasing the number of troops and reducing the number of troops. First, the army itself is elite enough. Second, the generals must grasp the timing accurately. Third, eliminate the spies before execution. If any of the three points goes wrong, it will be a strategy to destroy the army!"
"The quality of the people cannot be compared with the army!"
"There is no point in doing this in a small way. If it is done in a big way, people will inevitably have too many eyes. How can we keep it confidential?"
"Toying with food is toying with people's hearts. If one mistake is made, there will be panic buying. How will it be solved then?"
"What do you really want to do? If I were a Song Dynasty person, I would directly add fuel to the fire and put the blame entirely on the head of the Wu Dynasty. Even with the support of the Ming Dynasty and sufficient money and food, the Song Dynasty people would still be able to cause a food shortage, because what happened at the beginning was The Wu Dynasty itself is doing it, and once the fear is formed, the Wu Dynasty will not be able to explain it even if it has a hundred mouths!"
"If you can come up with such a plan, what is he but a talent?"
After spraying it in one breath, Fang Fang picked up the tea cup and took a sip, "Sister, if you are close to His Majesty, let the faint king check it carefully to see if the guy who proposed has colluded with the Song Dynasty. If so, don't hesitate to kill him. , If not, just exile him, this kind of person will be a disaster if he stays around!"
"..."
After taking deep breaths several times in succession, the empress spoke again, "I will ask Your Majesty to pay attention. Although the method you proposed is good, the Ming Dynasty is too far away after all. It takes time to transport food accurately, and the Wu Dynasty needs time even more!"
As for Nian Run, when I go back to clean up, the key is still a matter of time.
Unprepared, the incident happened suddenly, Wu Chao just put his head on it, no matter how hard it was, he could only endure it first.
But people are greedy, and if they are prepared, they will want to prepare more and more comprehensively. It is best if the whole thing can defeat the Song Dynasty and at the same time, there will be no internal losses at all.
"Sister, does Hunjun have an explanation?"
"What's the explanation?" the empress asked, not knowing why.
"What a reward!" Fang Fang rubbed his fingers, "We, siblings, have helped so much and provided solutions, but we can't just not explain anything at all? Isn't this free prostitution?"
I can tolerate anything, but I can’t tolerate free prostitution!
When it comes to free prostitution, it's a good thing if the benefits fall on you, but it's a bad thing if it falls on someone else. After all, if you enjoy it for the first time, there will be a second time.
The Empress' face turned red. She really had forgotten. After a while of coughing, she said, "This matter is too big and too urgent. You should know which is more serious and which is less. Rewards and other things. Based on my understanding of Your Majesty, I won't be short of it afterwards. Of course you can mention it too!”
"Okay, for my sister's sake, trust her for a while!"
Fang Fang put his finger into the teacup, dipped it in some water and wrote the four characters "relief through work" on the table.
