Daming: I help my wife be the empress

Chapter 121 Princess Governance
Bang.

Li Baotian was not able to die, so he asked the soldier to withdraw his knife and raise his leg, kicking him so that he sat on the ground.

His two brothers immediately glared at the soldier, wanting to go all out.

It's a pity that not only did they have no knives, but they also lost a hand.

At this time, the corporal leader said: "Are you mentally ill? Or are you so deaf that you can't hear at all? I told you to send you to the wounded barracks!
Do you know where the wounded barracks is?That's where the injuries are treated and recuperated.Who said they were going to kill you? "

Li Baotian and the others were stunned for a moment.

Even Old Man Li and Li Yao'er were the same, and then they couldn't help but look at Li Baotian, and the meaning was very clear: Didn't you say that the officers and soldiers in Chengdu would kill you?

"Don't lie to us!" Li Baotian reacted and shouted immediately, "How could the people above be willing to spend money to treat us? They must want to take us to a place where no one is around and kill us!"

The corporal shook his head speechlessly, and said: "Didn't your father tell you? The princess has come to Chengdu, and now the princess has the final say in Chengdu, and the wounded barracks was also established by the princess for the soldiers.

If you still don't believe me, you can first send someone to the wounded barracks to see if the people who came back earlier than you are still alive and are receiving treatment from the doctor inside. "

Hearing these words, the three of Li Baotian looked at each other, and they all had the same thought: Could it be that they were wrong?

"I'll go take a look with them!"

Li Baotian still didn't want to believe it, so he wanted to prove it—he didn't want to live anyway, even if he was tricked into killing him, it would be fine.

The corps leader didn't bother to say any more, and asked Li Baotian to be taken directly into the city.

Then he asked old man Li and others to move aside to avoid hindering the people who were going to enter the city later to accept the interrogation.

But it is said that Li Baotian followed a soldier into the city, and after leaving the Wengcheng, he came to a barracks.

"This used to be the barracks of the Chengdu garrison. Today, Governor Li was ordered by the Supervisory Kingdom to immediately set up a wounded barracks to accommodate you people, so he asked the brothers who lived here to move out.

If you go in and have a look, you will know that what our corporal said is true or not.Let me tell you, the princess is a good person, she is a fairy who came down to earth, so she will not ignore you. "

Li Baotian didn't pay much attention to what the soldier said behind him, he walked into the camp suspiciously, and then heard screams from several rooms.

If that's all, he might mistakenly think that someone inside is being served by torture.

But seeing some medical apprentices in Tsing Yi coming in and out from time to time, bringing in hot water, or coming out to pour dirty water or bloody water, it made Li Baotian realize that this place might really be a wounded barracks.

Just as he was about to enter one of the rooms to check, he saw a man with a clean white gauze wrapped around his head and a missing right hand coming out of a room.

He hurried up and asked, "Brother, is this really a wounded barracks?"

The man looked at him, and said with emotion: "Don't believe it, right? I didn't believe it before. But after I came here, I was treated by the doctor, so I believe it even if I don't believe it.

I've heard that it's the benevolence of the princess, who couldn't bear to see us being left behind, so she asked someone to set up a camp for wounded soldiers to accommodate us.

Brother, I think your wound is festering seriously, don't look at it, go in and wait in line for the doctor to treat you. "

Hearing these words, and seeing people like him coming in and out of other houses, Li Baotian believed in the wounded barracks.

He recalled the words of the corporal leader, the soldiers, and the wounded soldier just now, and he easily grasped the key point of this matter.

"Princess... Excuse me, brother, which princess came to Chengdu?"

"I've inquired about it, and it seems that they are called Princess Kunxing. But I heard that they don't call them princesses, but Jian Guo, saying that we will be under the supervision of Jian Guo after Chengdu."

"Princess? Supervisor?"

Li Baotian didn't know much, so he didn't understand the meaning of these two titles on a person for a while.

He didn't think too much, and returned to the east gate as quickly as possible.

The tall man and the short man were stunned when they saw Li Baotian coming out, and then they all looked expectant.

Without waiting for the two to ask, Li Baotian said excitedly: "There is really a wounded barracks in the city, and it was the princess who asked her to build it. Big brother, third brother, we really made a mistake this time."

The tall man and the short man had complicated emotions for a moment, and they didn't know what to say.

The old man Li said anxiously: "What are you waiting for, since the wounded barracks are real, hurry up and let the doctor see your injuries. Look at you, your faces are covered with pus."

After finishing speaking, old man Li ran to apologize to the corporal leader again.

"Mr. Jun, we didn't know what was good and what was bad, and blamed the government by mistake. Please don't be offended by the officials."

Wu Zhang said: "Why are you telling me this? But let me tell you, the wounded barracks has nothing to do with the officials and gentlemen. It was established by the princess. If you want to thank, thank the princess."

"Thank you princess!"

Old man Li knelt down in the direction of the Shu Palace with a plop.

···
The next day.

At around nine o'clock in the morning, Zhu Yuxi came to the Military Weapons Bureau for the third time to inspect.

The second time was three days after she announced the abolition of the artisanship. At that time, the main purpose was to see if the Armament Bureau had recruited enough artisans.

To be honest, although she resolutely abolished the artisan registration and paid the artisans wages at that time, she was not very sure whether the Armament Bureau could recruit at least a thousand artisans within three days.

After all, in the past, the image of the government in the hearts of craftsmen was too bad.

Even if she followed Hao Guangming's teaching and asked the craftsmen to pay back the money and food owed to the craftsmen, she didn't know how much image and reputation she could restore.

As a result, when Auntie Zhu came to inspect the Military Weapons Bureau for the second time, she was pleasantly surprised to find that there were more than 1200 craftsmen who signed contracts with the Military Weapons Bureau!

At that time, Aimee Zhu suspected that the Military Weapons Bureau had used written words to deceive her, so she went to various factories, workshops, and institutes to make statistics, and selected some craftsmen to inquire, and learned that there were indeed more than 1200 people employed by the Military Weapons Bureau. Believe.

Summarizing the answers of those craftsmen, Hao Guangming came up with three reasons.

First of all, the treatment given to craftsmen after the reform of the Armament Bureau system is good enough, and it can even be said to be excellent.

At that time, Li Zuo, the ambassador and deputy envoy of the Military Weapons Bureau, after learning about most craftsmen's thoughts on wages, spent more than half a day drafting a document about craftsmen's wages and handing it to Auntie Zhu for review.

After reading it, Auntie Zhu made revisions based on Hao Guangming's opinion, and then sought the opinions of Li Zuo and the other three, before finalizing the general terms of the employment documents for the craftsmen of the Armament Bureau.

First, according to the differences in the level of craftsmen, they are divided into five levels: apprentice, craftsman, master craftsman, craftsman, and master craftsman.

As for the craftsmen employed by the Chengdu Arms Bureau, the highest level of craftsmen is currently the master craftsman, and the craftsmen are the most numerous, followed by apprentices.

Second, the monthly base salary is preliminarily set according to the different types of work. The lowest basic salary among apprentices is only one penny, while the highest basic salary among master craftsmen can get a high salary of two taels of silver!

As for bonuses, they are divided into piece awards for qualified products, advanced awards for top ten monthly output, commendation awards for special contributions to the Armament Bureau, and so on.

Third, the Armament Bureau has also set up work-related injury subsidies and pensions for death on duty. Starting from the master, as long as they reach a certain length of service, they are allowed to retire after a certain age, and pensions are given every year!

According to what the craftsmen said, such treatment may not be found even with a lantern, so they have no reason not to apply.

In addition to the good treatment of the Military Weapons Bureau, the other two reasons why craftsmen enthusiastically come to the Military Weapons Bureau to apply are even simpler.

First, as the ambassador and deputy envoy of the Armament Bureau said, it is not easy for craftsmen to find work. It is common to find work for ten and a half months, and the income of freelance craftsmen is not stable.

Second, the craftsmen were all grateful for Zhu Wei's kindness in abolishing the craftsman's registration, and knew that Zhang Xianzhong was about to attack Chengdu now, and the defenders urgently needed armaments.

If Zhang Xianzhong captured Chengdu, wouldn't it be empty talk for the princess to abolish her craftsmanship?

Not to mention, these craftsmen are also from Chengdu. Although their lives were a little bit difficult before, they could barely survive, and they didn't want to be ruled by Zhang Xianzhong's famous thieves.

Therefore, those craftsmen who had worked in the Military Weapons Bureau not only applied for the job themselves, but also actively helped to publicize the employment conditions of the Military Weapons Bureau, calling on other craftsmen in Chengdu to apply for the job as well.

Due to the above reasons, in just a day or two, the number of craftsmen employed by the Ordnance Bureau has easily reached more than 1200.

According to the ambassador of the Ordnance Bureau, some craftsmen hesitated because of certain clauses in the employment documents, otherwise more craftsmen would be willing to work.

What terms?

Mainly the contract period and confidentiality clauses.

After all, the Ordnance Bureau is the national military industry department, and craftsmen cannot be allowed to come and go whenever they want.

Therefore, even as an apprentice, once the contract is signed, it takes at least three years.

For some types of work that require extremely high confidentiality, the apprenticeship contract also starts from ten years.Of course, the basic salary of this type of work is also high.

As for the secrecy clause, the main thing is that the craftsmen are not allowed to leak the secrets of the Armament Bureau. Once they violate it, they will be punished with hard labor, exile, or beheading.

However, the artisans who really understand feel that whether it is the employment period or the confidentiality clause, it looks scary, but in fact it is not stricter than the Ming Dynasty government treated the artisans in the past.

In the past, they had to work for the government for free for a lifetime.

As for secrecy, that is also necessary.

And whether or not you divulge the secret is completely up to the officials, which means that the officials can deal with you for any reason.

Now that the confidentiality clause stipulates the category of confidentiality, it has given the craftsmen a sense of confidence, knowing what can and cannot be said to the outside world.

In this way, you can avoid being arbitrarily manipulated and dealt with by the officials above...
Aunt Zhu came here today mainly to inspect the production situation and progress of the Ordnance Bureau.

After all, the gap in ordnance is still not small, and the production pressure of the Ordnance Bureau is very high.

This time Zhu Wei did not bring Long Wenguang and other officials with him, but only the guards. After entering the bureau, he was accompanied by Li Zuo and the ambassador.

When she inspected various factories and workshops, she would not only listen to the ambassador's explanation, but also ask a random craftsman to ask questions, so that to a certain extent, she could avoid the bureaucrats from the military bureau to deceive.

When I came to the armor factory, I saw an old man making armor, and he was making it quickly and well.

When he finished playing and stopped, Aunt Zhu asked someone to call him over for questioning.

The old man knelt down to salute when he saw Aimee Zhu, Aimee Zhu didn't stop him, but asked the old man to stand up and answer after saluting.

Seeing that the old man was short and strong but with gray hair and deep wrinkles, she asked, "What's your name, old man? How old are you?"

　Regarding the assembly line operation and the use of machinery in the Military Weapons Bureau, I will explain it later, so don't worry.After all, it has been less than a month since Zhang Xianzhong attacked Chengdu, and it will take time to adjust after some things change.

　　Thank you for the reward of 【Fenqin, Cooking Cranes and Waiting for Beauty】!
