    The Mid-Autumn Festival is a day of reunion for most people, but for craftsmen, unless they are dead, the festival has nothing to do with them.

    Qin Si is like this.

    This workshop located in the west of the city specializes in making armor, and most of the craftsmen inside are regular craftsmen, that is, long-term craftsmen.  But Qin Si is a shift worker, and he can go home after finishing his work here.

    Craftsmen are supposed to be able to work only ten days a month, but this month it is required to build the armor of Jubao Shanwei as soon as possible, and the hydraulic punching machine in Beijing is still under construction, so currently it can only be built manually by craftsmen.

    Fortunately, the iron factory produced thin plates according to the process given by Zhu Fang, otherwise this work would really not be done by humans.

    The craftsmen worked hard, and the officials who oversaw the work were also full of complaints and anger.

    Qin Si took advantage of the lunch opportunity to go out and buy a few cakes. When he hurried back to the workshop, he was blocked by someone as soon as he entered the door.

    Qin Si looked at the leader, Gu Yue, who was holding a whip in his hand and his face was ferocious. He knelt on the ground with a thud and begged: "Sir, it's not too late for me!"

    Gu Yue and his two colleagues on the left and right smiled at each other, then went up and kicked Qin Si over, waving his whip and beating him.

    "How dare you, a thief with the army, go out privately?"

    "beat!"

    clang clang clang!

    The sound of banging armor inside couldn't cover up Qin Si's screams. Three petty officials who were not allowed to rest during the Mid-Autumn Festival took turns to fight and beat Qin Si.

    ¡­¡­

    ¡°Let¡¯s see if you dare next time!¡±

    Gu Yue panted and stopped whipping, feeling comfortable all over.

    The three clerks entered the workshop comfortably, scolding the craftsmen, and the depression in their hearts gradually dissipated.

    When a craftsman who went to the toilet went out and saw Qin Si lying on the ground motionless, he cursed secretly, then went over to help him up and said, "Fourth brother, you can go home and recuperate today"

    Qin Si, who was covered in bruises and bruises, did not move at all. The craftsman was shocked and stretched out his fingers to try on his nose.

    "Fourth brother! Fourth brother"

    ¡­¡­

    The sound alarmed the people inside. Gu Yue and the other three ran out and were stunned when they saw this scene.

    "what to do?"

    A clerk went over and tested Qin Si's breathing, then felt for his pulse, turned around and shook his head with a wry smile.

    Boom!

    This wry smile was like a bolt from the blue, and Gu Yue was stunned.

    The beating sound inside gradually stopped, and the craftsmen slowly walked out and looked at Qin Si, who was lying motionless on the ground, with sad eyes.

    The two clerks stared at Gu Yue, their meaning was very clear: You started this matter, you have to settle it!

    Gu Yue didn't have time to think about anything else. He said subconsciously: "Qin Si was beaten to death by a shelf. It's very pitiful. I feel uncomfortable when I look at you."

    He turned to the craftsmen who came out and said slowly: "So you will have a good life in the future, do you understand?"

    This is a promise to benefit these craftsmen.

    Eat a soft hand and take a short manner. As long as these people take advantage, then

    People are afraid of trouble. This kind of thing is probably a whirlpool. If you are not careful, you will become cannon fodder.

    so¡­¡­

    "In the future, your remuneration will be paid in full. I will send you some money tomorrow no, today, but"

    He pointed at Qin Si¡¯s corpse and looked at the craftsmen.

    A craftsman said without hesitation: "Qin Si was smashed to death. We even helped to lift the frame, but unfortunately we couldn't save him."

    There were more than thirty people at the scene. Gu Yue said with satisfaction: "Then everyone, please carry Qin Si under the shelf and let me see how the shelf kills people."

    The two clerks breathed a sigh of relief and thought that Gu Yue's method of disposal was excellent, so they shouted: "Hurry up and carry it in. Anyone who doesn't carry it will be the murderer of Qin Si!"

    The craftsmen came over numbly, and everyone was busy lifting Qin Si, but there were too many people, more than thirty people, and most of them were just showing off on the periphery.

    Gu Yue winked, and the two clerks went in.

    ¡°Bang!¡±

    After a loud noise, an exclamation came from inside: "Qin Si was smashed to death!"

    The two clerks came out and smiled proudly at Gu Yue.

    Smile!

    ¡­¡­

    As soon as the Mid-Autumn Festival is over, the capital is back to normalNormally, all government offices are open as usual.

    As soon as Dali Temple opened the door, a young man rushed over, knelt down at the door, held up a piece of paper in both hands and shouted: "My father was beaten to death, please take a look!"

    ¡­¡­

    Dali Temple took over a case. The reason for the case was very simple, so the three petty officials were quickly arrested and brought to justice.  However, most of the craftsmen were unwilling to testify. In the end, it was Qin Si's fellow countryman who came forward and nailed the three minor officials.

    According to the current view, the matter is not big.

    But the aftermath of the incident is far from over.

    As soon as the case was finalized, Fang Xing was recruited into the palace.

    As soon as he entered the palace, Fang Xing saw all the important ministers there, so he came over to Zhang Fu and stood with Wu Xun.

    "What is it?"

    The emperor hasn't come yet, so everyone can be more relaxed. Zhu Yong whispered: "Someone has submitted a memorial."

    Fang Xing was speechless and turned his head, you just pretended you didn¡¯t say it!

    "Your Majesty has arrived"

    Zhu Zhanji raised a topic as soon as he came: "Yesterday, someone wrote a memorial saying that craftsmen work hard, but they are not allowed freedom and their status is low. If this continues, it will definitely become a drawback. What do you think?"

    This matter was unavoidable for Wuzhong, Minister of the Ministry of Industry. He went out to work and said: "Your Majesty, the craftsmen in the Ming Dynasty are divided into sitting shifts and rotating shifts. Qin Si works in shifts, working ten days a month, and then the rest of the days.  If no one cares about it, you can just make something and sell it. You can avoid a small amount of labor at home, so it¡¯s not bad at all.¡±

    Fang Xing felt that this memorial was a bit strange, not like something ordinary officials could get, so he went out and said: "Your Majesty, the craftsmen who work on duty are paid less. To be honest, it is difficult for great craftsmen to appear under these conditions. As for those who work shifts  What's even worse is that Qin Si is a blacksmith who works in a class every four years. He doesn't know what to do when he goes back. When the government says hello, he has to rush to various places with his things. How much does it cost along the way? How much time is wasted? Is this what it means?  not bad?"

    Wuzhong smiled bitterly and said: "Uncle Xinghe, this craftsman household system was inherited from the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty. After many improvements, there is nothing we can do about it. The only drawback is probably the journey. Craftsmen from all over the country take turns to come to Beijing, which is indeed a bit hard."

    Fang Xing shook his head and said, "It's not just hard work, some craftsmen who work shifts live far away from the capital, and they have to pawn their things to pay for travel when they come home. How many times they come down Mr. Wu, his family is ruined!"

    Wu Zhonggong cupped his hands and could only smile bitterly.

    The craftsman household system was inherited from the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty and was finalized in the Hongwu Year. The household registration cannot be changed, but the treatment can be discussed.

    "Your Majesty, today's management of craftsmen is very nonsense. For example, the armor factory has ordered a hundred sets of armor. If it cannot be completed after the deadline, one set is short of twenty lashes, and the upper limit is fifty lashes. But what if it is finished? Or?  Have you made it in advance?"

    Fang Xing¡¯s words make people think deeply.  If the craftsman does not do well, he will be beaten, but what if he does it well?

    "I think that among the thousands of craftsmen in the Ming Dynasty, they must be uneven. Those who are good and talented should be given more. Those who are poor and mediocre should be given a full meal, so that some people are willing to put in their efforts.  for."

    Yang Rong shook his head and said: "This is easier said than done. The officials below are cunning. Whether it is good or bad is ultimately a matter of their mouths."

    "Master Yang's words are very clear."

    Fang Xing cupped his hands and said: "This is exactly the reason, so I would like to ask you, what if the craftsman status is cancelled?"

    Well¡­¡­

    Yang Rong's eyes were slightly cold and he said: "If you cancel your craftsman status, where will you find craftsmen in the future?" (Remember this site's website address: www.hlnovel.com
