Dajin picked up a god of war

Chapter 1051 The Craftsman's Difficulties

So, on the day of the general workshop, Pu Chao knew that he had reached the end of his official career.

Originally, I just wanted to be a monk hitting the clock for a day, fool around, and just give a memorial to ask for resignation when I was sixty years old. Unexpectedly, I suddenly looked forward to the arrival of King Langya.

The general workshop suddenly became lively and important, and even he, the general minister, suddenly became extremely present.

Wang Mi has already promised to give him a Minister of the Ministry of Industry in the future. Although Pu Chao has not yet figured out what is the Ministry of Industry and what business the Minister of the Ministry of Industry is responsible for, but in general, his fortune is also very good. It's time, the time for him to flex his muscles has come.

Wang Mi got off his horse and rushed into the general's workshop without saying a word.

Seeing the arrival of King Langya finally, all the master craftsmen were overjoyed and went up to greet him immediately.

OK!

It's time to start experimenting!
Hurry up and let us see the power of this artifact!We can't wait!

To be honest, everyone has waited for too long. They have already started making this artifact, but this time, Wang Mi is uncharacteristically. During the production process, he did not reveal the power of this artifact at all. .

Everyone saw the miraculous appearance of this artifact, and they all speculated.

What is the use of this stuff?
Due to the craftsmanship, the masters generally know how to use this artifact, and they also know that it is a kind of firearm.

However, how powerful it can be, but I can't figure out the context at all.

It must be very powerful, surpassing the power of previous firearms, but the brothers still can't guess how powerful it is.

The main reason is that the appearance of this artifact is too unexpected, whether viewed from the front or from the back, up and down, there is no clue.

The more they can't figure it out, the more anxious people are, wanting to find out. Now, finally, the King Langya himself arrives, how can they let it go?
They all rushed forward, wanting to urge King Langya to quickly pull out this new weapon for everyone to hear.

Loud.

Obviously, there must be something loud.

In this regard, everyone is very confident.

Needless to say, everyone is now familiar with firearms and their characteristics.

I know that any firearm, no matter how it is used, will always make a huge noise, and it will emit smoke and fire!

As a result, many people will naturally have expectations for the power of this big guy, and some are quick-witted, and even prepare cotton balls to plug their ears.

Just waiting to hear it!
and then?
It hasn't even started yet!
The crowd surrounded Wang Mi, asking about the time of the formal experiment, urging him urgently, but the deity of King Langya was not affected at all.

Still calmly announced: "Everyone, don't worry."

"This artifact cannot be used in the general workshop. It needs to be replaced."

"Need to change the place?" Everyone was disappointed.

They all begged Wang Mi to act quickly, no matter how they let the brothers see the power of the artifact first, Wang Mi was also very embarrassed.

If this thing is really placed here for experimentation, I am afraid that the workshop will be lost!
Not to mention destroying the whole thing, it should be no problem to cut off half of it.

"Brothers don't know, this thing is very powerful, comparable to the thunder god coming, the workshop space is limited, if you want to see the magic of this thing, you still have to go to the suburbs."

Want to go to the suburbs?
Then why didn't you say it earlier?

Many soldiers who were dispatched to carry the huge object complained in their hearts. This matter could have started earlier!

It happened until now.

Everyone was also eager to watch the giant, only thinking that if it could be transported to the suburbs earlier, I am afraid they would have heard it by now!

The few brothers who came with Wang Mi couldn't help but have such doubts in their hearts. Many of them didn't even know anything about this giant.

I have never seen it.

Especially the two young men who rushed over from Jingkou and Jingzhou, who had never seen such a giant.

There are [-] guesses in my heart.

What is so magical about this giant?
Will a fire snake jump out of nowhere?
Or a bolt of lightning?
In the midst of this guess, everyone pulled away the team and walked out of the city.

Now, the law and order in the city can be trusted. Since Wang Gong was imprisoned, all the defense work in Jiankang City has been taken over by Beifu soldiers.

In this way, no matter what he is doing when he sees the queue of King Langya, there will be no obstacles, let alone someone who dares to stop him.

With such a big guy, someone can easily walk out of the city gate without worrying about who will jump out to make trouble.

This is the power of the majestic Regent!
"My lord, is this thing safe once it reaches the outskirts?"

"I'm still a little worried."

Among the group, if anyone has a certain understanding of this artifact, it belongs to He Wuji.During the construction, he had to walk around the workshop from time to time to see the progress.

He is not ignorant of the power of this artifact.

Compared with those spectators who only wanted to hear the sound, the power of He Wuji's artifact was quite daunting.

Wang Mi shook his hand, "Don't worry."

"It looks powerful, but its power is actually not that terrifying."

He Wuji let out a long sigh of relief, finally relieved.

"At least it won't blow up the city wall."

He Wuji: Isn't that considered terrifying?

It seems that today's Jiankang City is doomed to another chaos.

Do you need to evacuate the crowd in advance?
Or do you want to give the people in the city a warning?
Following Wang Mi and the others out of the city, there was also a group of people from the general workshop, led by their commander-in-chief, general minister Pu Chao.

Behind him, several backbone masters in the general workshop also followed. There were a large number of people. Of course, there were no horses or carts, so they could only walk.

Speaking of the past, I might still be a little worried. At least, the quality of these craftsmen is uneven. Once they go to the street, there are so many people, and the order is always a bit chaotic.

But, now, there is no need to have such worries.

After Wang Mi took the initiative to adjust the general workshop, the quality of the staff has been greatly improved, which is by no means comparable to the past.

Why is there such a situation?
That is of course because everyone has a place to use and has found the meaning of their own existence!
In the past, the quality of craftsmen was not very high, mainly because in ancient society, the social status of craftsmen was relatively low, and even if they had exclusive unique skills, they were just craftsmen. To work is to do things for the emperors and concubines, and he is still a craftsman with no social status.

This kind of loss is reflected in daily life, which is naturally a variety of disorderly behaviors, for example, once you have money, you will lose it.

Either to play for money, or to get into the fireworks and willow alley.

In short, living a life with today and no tomorrow, and fighting from time to time, is full of a feeling of strength and nowhere to go.

However, since Wang Mi started helping to rectify the general workshop, the appearance here has been completely new!

In Wang Mi's words, there is no difference between craftsmen, soldiers and businessmen.

Each has a division of labor.

Soldiers are paid, not to mention businessmen. Although their social status is not as high as that, they still have plenty of money in their pockets.

No matter which world you are in, you can live well if you have money. This is the most basic common sense and an undeniable truth.

No way.

It's the same wherever you go, this principle is that you can run rampant without hindrance.

If you have money, you will have a good life, and if you have money, you will be looked up to by others, even if it is very likely to be extremely short-lived.

But look at the poor artisans.

It is true that if you want money, you have no money, and if you want social status, you have no social status.

In the face of the greedy and extravagant emperor, these craftsmen are no different from those who are in corvee every day.

Constantly rushing to work can even be exhausting!

This is real!There are many records about this aspect in history.

Under such a harsh living environment, what quality can we talk about?

How about the value of survival?
However, it is different now.

For the management of these craftsmen, Wang Mi introduced a completely different method. He actually set aside a special fund to distribute money to the craftsmen.

The amount is not small, and it can even be paid out on a monthly basis. Since he started to intervene in all matters of the workshop, this work has been going on for several months!
Every month, on a fixed day, at least before the first day of the month, the money will be distributed on time and in sufficient amount.

This is simply something that was never thought of before, and it will never happen!
However, it is indeed in progress now.

It can be said that a small move caused huge waves in the hearts of the craftsmen, which can be called monstrous waves.

First of all, on time, this is enough to show that King Langya attaches great importance to the craftsmen of the general workshop. You must know that although it is only a small amount of money for each person, it is also very difficult in ancient times to distribute it on time and in quantity. thing.

The main reason is that the ancients basically did not have this idea.

What is salary?
Why do wages need to be paid on a monthly basis?
Why does it still need to be issued on time at a fixed time?

These have no concept at all, and I don't think it is necessary to do so at all.

The reason is that the artisans of this era still belong to the class of slaves in terms of status.

Although it seems that they have personal freedom and a certain amount of wages, they still have a personal attachment relationship with the people who employ them.

The status of the two parties is not equal, and there is no need to expect their masters to pay them wages on time and according to the amount.

If you give money, it means that the host is in a good mood. If you don't give it, as long as you take care of the food and cover it, you are already a good person.

Where dare to pursue other.

However, the current King Langya not only pays his brothers wages on time, but also said that this will be the rule from now on!
In the future, the artisans will be like the army, with different craftsmen and different years of artisans, there will also be ranks, and they can even be promoted!

Not to mention the wages, which can naturally increase as the level increases!
As soon as the news spread, the motivating effect on the brothers went by leaps and bounds, completely beyond people's expectations.

Not only is he more motivated to work, but many new crafts are the crystallization of the collective wisdom of the craftsmen. When polishing weapons, he has more patience and more refined craftsmanship.

They don't even need Wang Mi to put forward specific requirements to them, they can do their best.

The role of this kind of motivation is not only reflected in the workplace. Outside the workshop, the appearance of the craftsmen is completely different from before.

They no longer repeatedly appear in various entertainment venues, and those bad habits have gradually changed a lot. Although it is impossible to eliminate them all at once, this situation is becoming less and less.

Wang Mi didn't actively intervene, but just let them experience it for themselves.

In teahouses and restaurants, more and more craftsmen have time to patronize here and get together. Their topics are no longer gambling houses and women, but firearms and how to improve technology.

After all, if everything works well, they can be regarded as decent people in this era. This is what the king said, and he will not lie!
If you have a heart, you will be strong. Ever since you were granted a formal status, you can be promoted, and your salary can be raised, most of the topics that craftsmen talk about are related to work.

After all, only by improving your business can you be promoted faster and get more wages.

In addition, Wang Mi also gave a very humane rule, that is, all craftsmen in the workshop will start working from the time of Chen and end at the time of Shen, and they will not work overtime unless necessary.

Even if you do the math, the time period for this job is not too short, from [-]:[-] am to [-]:[-] pm in modern time, a full ten hours!
However, for the craftsmen who have worked so hard and have never had personal freedom, it is already a considerable benefit.

For example, it is just after the winter solstice and the new year is about to begin. However, the days are still relatively short. After five o'clock in modern time, the sky will gradually get dark.

The lighting conditions in this era are not good, but even so, according to the requirements of the ancient supervisors, they still have to continue working.

The craftsmen are bound to various positions in the workshop, working from morning till night, taking occasional breaks, so they are naturally released to their heart's content.

To play with money, to play with women.

However, it is different now.

With a normal work and rest time, the workshop will be closed after the last moment of Shenshi, and the craftsmen can continue to live in the dormitory provided by the workshop, and some older masters who already have financial resources can also move out live in the city.

And at this time, for the craftsmen, a major benefit will come. Although this is not intentional by Wang Mi, he also knows that as long as the craftsmen are given reasonable work and rest time, this one Great benefits will come one day.

That's a stable, healthy family!

Perhaps, it cannot be said that this is a benefit, but it is also a fact.

In this era, people have to work day and night, and there is no artisan group with a normal income. In fact, it is also a big problem to find a wife.

In this ignorant ancient times, when a woman seeks a man, she has only one purpose, which is a stable living environment.

As the saying goes, if you marry a Han, you have to dress and eat.

But what can craftsmen bring to their wives?
