These two pieces of news completely shocked all the people in Chang'an City! What is a craftsman? Craftsmen can actually be knighted! And the history books contain separate biographies! This... this glorious ancestor! Not to mention the common people, those scholars are going crazy! When will those humble craftsmen, even craftsmen composed of unregistered households, be able to write down biographies in history books? !
But can they refute it? cannot! Especially the first one, it can be said from another perspective that most of them, the scholars, have enjoyed each other's convenience! Without the other party, many scholars from poor families would never have that chance.
The poor families of the Tang Dynasty may be different from what ordinary people understand. What is a poor family? It means that one originally belonged to a noble family, but his family was in a low position and was extremely poor. This was called a poor family. People who are not from humble backgrounds have no chance to study. They are not within this scope at all.
Among the craftsmen of the common people, almost all of them were given to Shu... Oh, no, the longevity tablet was set up for His Highness the King of Qin. It was His Highness the King of Qin who allowed ordinary craftsmen like them to be knighted and included in the history books! This... what an honor this is!
Let alone this era, even more than a thousand years later, ordinary people would probably be equally excited if they had the opportunity to enter the history books!
And this article also said that the Royal Academy of Engineering of the Tang Dynasty will exist for a long time. In the future, all craftsmen who invent or develop tools worth promoting to the world will have the opportunity to be knighted and enter the Academy of Engineering! All bachelor craftsmen who enter the Academy of Engineering will be individually biographies in the history books of the Tang Dynasty!
And all the blacksmiths, carpenters, and masons who had been recruited by His Highness King Qin instantly felt that their whole bodies were filled with chicken blood. What is this? This is a glory that the ancestor of all their craftsmen, Gongshu Ban, has never achieved!
In fact, in the Tang Dynasty, except for carpenters, all other craftsmen believed that one of the founders was Gongshu Ban, because to some extent, the starting point of craftsmen was as a carpenter.
Like blacksmiths, they think there are two founders, one is Laojun Li Er, and the other is Gongshu Ban.
These are just the first two articles. The third article: The blacksmith firm of His Highness King Qin of the Tang Dynasty will start selling curved shaft plows from today. The plowshare part of the curved shaft plow is priced at 300 Wen! The price of a complete Quyuanli is 500 Wen! Any carpenter who is willing to learn how to make a curved-column plow can go to His Highness the King of Qin's shop to learn. However, in order to encourage the world's craftsmen to innovate, His Highness the King of Qin suggested that every craftsman who builds and sells a curved-column plow should set aside a penny to give it to the inventor. of craftsmen.
This penny can be transferred to His Highness the King of Qin's Trading Company, who will then transfer it to Liu Chang, the inventor of Quyuanli.
In addition, this article also announced other prices for ironware sold by His Highness the King of Qin’s Blacksmith Shop. They are all too low, only one-third of what is currently sold on the market, or even lower! Moreover, His Highness the King of Qin also announced that all citizens who sign an employment agreement with His Highness the King of Qin can receive a 20% off coupon after working for seven days. With this coupon, they can purchase a piece of ironware at a 20% discount at His Highness the King of Qin's Merchant Store!
And this coupon will be issued every seven days!
In addition, in the third article, it also explains why the craftsmen who invented the invention should be given a penny. In the simplest and most straightforward words, it is explained that this is to reward these craftsmen for making the things they develop public. The world, rather than the private fearless spirit! Craftsman spirit!
A model for craftsmen in the world!
In this article, Li Ke can be said to have played a piece of honor kidnapping. Li Ke believes that there are many craftsmen who come to learn how to make Quyuanli! But they will definitely keep that penny! No matter how much they sell! Because Li Ke opened up an unprecedented road for them, belonging to craftsmen!
People in this era attach great importance to credibility. Just three years ago during the Spring Festival, Li Keke admired the show his father played. During the Spring Festival of the sixth year of Zhenguan, his cheap dad Li Shimin inspected the cell and there were about 390 people. After talking to many of these death row prisoners, Li Shimin made an agreement with them that they would be allowed to go home for the Spring Festival, but they would have to come back next autumn to be executed!
After the agreement was made, Li Shimin released them. In the autumn of the seventh year of Zhenguan, all 393 death row prisoners were present, and no one escaped.
This incident also shocked the world at that time. It can be said that my father's reputation was completely stabilized in Datang at that time.
That's a death sentence! Li Ke was really impressed at the time that Lao Li really dared to play, but when those people came back, Li Ke was really shocked. Of course, there are other reasons for restraint, such as the fact that all the death row prisoners have been registered. They will not run away. If they dare to run away, their families will be harmed.
Not only would their family members be affected, they themselves would not be able to escape at all. The household registration restrictions in ancient times were much stronger than those in modern times. Moreover, Li Shimin actually secretly told the soldiers from various places to closely monitor these death row prisoners. Due to multiple reasons , these death row prisoners have all returned.
But to be honest, even so, it’s death! Faced with the fear of death, how many people can still think of their families? You must know that Li Shimin really had people under surveillance. If someone was lucky enough to run into the mountains and forests, they would really not be caught. But no one ran away. Anyway, Li Ke was really shocked.
Even people like him who knew the inside story were shocked, and you can imagine how other people feel.
Therefore, Li Ke is willing to believe in the integrity of people in this era. In fact, he does not require everyone, as long as a large number of people can persist, then Li Ke will take the opportunity to promote relevant laws in the future.
As soon as the three articles were published, the consequence was that the various registration points arranged by Li Ke for work in Chang'an were instantly overcrowded.
The area where Li Ke's blacksmith shops are located is crowded with people who have come out from other blacksmith shops. All the masters of the blacksmith shops except non-registered households also ran over!
The wealthy family, the eldest grandson's family, and everyone else are numb!
Because their blacksmith shop really has no master master. Not to mention the master master, even the apprentice craftsmen have all run away, except for the slaves who were bought by them! Who will work for them? Working for His Highness the King of Qin can not only buy iron tools at low prices! There is still a chance to be knighted! His Highness King Qin is now the pioneer of all craftsmen! They are the reborn parents of all craftsmen!
nobody! And the ironware can’t be sold! Because selling at that price, they lost all their pants! How to sell? !
It can only be described in four words, heavy losses!
Changsun Wuji was dumbfounded. He never thought that Li Ke would have this trick behind him! Their eldest grandson’s family’s biggest source of income has been cut off! But soon, Changsun Wuji calmed down. If you don't sell ironware, you won't sell ironware. At worst, if I sell iron ore, can you, Li Ke, still buy the iron ore? !
"Your Highness, do we want to purchase other people's iron ore?" Tian Meng was also asking this question.
"Why do you want to purchase their iron ore? How many iron ores are not found on the map I gave you?" Li Ke asked lightly.
"A lot..." Tian Meng choked.
"So, we have too much iron ore to use up, so why buy theirs?" Li Ke asked with a faint smile, do you think this era is the future? Can someone with iron ore show off? There are more mines than people in this era! Because of the demand for steel in this era, tsk tsk, Li Ke, not to mention the whole country, even the iron ore within a 300-kilometer radius of Chang'an cannot be used up!
Therefore, Li Ke is not afraid at all that the people he recruits will have no work. It is no exaggeration to say that he can recruit as many people as they want. In fact, it is impossible for all these people to come to work. This is engraved in the bones of the Chinese people. Given the land plot above, they will never give up the land if given the choice.
"By the way, you continue to expand iron ore mining, but you must ensure the safety of the people first. After stably selling iron, I will ask the relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Industry if they want pig iron, and sell it at the pig iron price given to Cheng Yaojin. Pig iron ingots, who can I sell the iron ore from his eldest grandson’s family to?"
"Yes!" Tian Meng took a deep breath, he was a little excited! Changsun family, what are you playing with His Highness? !
As for the Changsun family practicing on their own? You let him make it, because now the cost of ironmaking has not come down, but has increased, and the salaries of craftsmen and masters have increased! Li Ke pulled up ten times! No matter how much they practice, they will lose more! Because the pig iron produced cannot be sold!
