Emperor Liu Hong

Since he couldn't watch the dog fight anymore, Liu Hong wasn't interested in staying in the dog fighting arena anymore. After the little loli had given the dog medicine, he took the siblings out for a stroll.

The capital city is not quite the same as before. After more than a year of reconstruction, although there are still many things that have not been completed, the appearance of the metropolis has begun to appear.

In the current Luoyang City, Liu Hong has added many elements that are unique to later generations, such as parks and squares, which have raised the city's level countless times.

Especially the roads in the city now are different from before.Many roads have been used by buses, so the roads are very wide, which makes people look very comfortable.

Although these things are not very attractive to Liu Hong, the two little Lolita siblings who don't go out very often keep looking at this and that, and their eyes are obviously not enough.

"Hey, little brother, there's a clay figurine over there, let's go and have a look?" He said, regardless of whether Liu Hongtong agreed or not, he pulled Liu Hong to go there.

When Liu Hong and the others passed by, the old man who made the clay figure was helping someone make a statue.Liu Hong saw that the old man was really not simple. The statue he made was really lifelike, almost exactly the same as the real person next to him.

"Little brother, the old man looks like he pinched it. Let's pinch one too, shall we?"

"Okay, okay, let's not only pinch one, but we can pinch as long as Xiao Wei'er likes it."

Little Lolita hadn't spoken yet, but the little brat exclaimed, "Little brother, I want it too, I want it too."

"Okay, if you want, we want to."

Hearing that Liu Hong agreed, the little brat yelled happily.

The old man winked, and after pinching the man, he pinched a double portrait for Liu Hong and little Lolita.

Little Lolita was so happy, she took the double portrait and never let go.

For the old man's craftsmanship, Liu Hong really admired it, so he asked: "Old man, your craftsmanship is really good, how did you practice it?"

"Oh, what a great thing. I used to make a living with this handicraft. If you can't do it well, you will be hungry. In order to be full, you will concentrate on doing it. After a long time, the handicraft will come out." .”

"Grandpa, you are so good at this craft. Didn't you bring any apprentice?" Liu Hong was very curious.

"Hey, I still have apprentices. Even my two sons don't want to learn, so don't mention others. Once my old bone is finished, this craft will be gone."

"Ah, how could this be?"

"What else can I do? This thing doesn't make money. In the past, this craft was barely enough to make ends meet. Although it has gotten better in the past two years, it is impossible to make a lot of money with this." As he spoke, the old man sighed. He took a deep breath and said, "My two sons used to make clay sculptures with me, but they couldn't even eat enough to eat all day long. But last year, the two of them got an engineering team to take over the projects, and the money they earned in a year was less than I have earned a lot in my life, so why would they come to do this again?"

"Grandpa, you are lying." The little boy said while playing with the little tiger in his hand, "Since your son has earned money, why are you doing this again?"

"Little baby, grandpa doesn't lie. Grandpa has squeezed mud all his life. If he doesn't squeeze it for a day, he will feel uncomfortable. Now grandpa comes out to do this, not to make money, just to relieve boredom." Saying this, the old man Pass the kid a big buffalo.

After listening to the old man's words, Liu Hong became interested in this matter.Liu Hong knows that there are many traditional crafts in China, and there are so many specific types that even professional brickmakers cannot be sure how many there are.But it is a pity that when later generations thought of protecting these things, it was already too late, and many things had already been lost.

Liu Hong feels that he should pay attention now, these folk crafts are treasures, and they cannot be lost like the later generations.

But people's hearts are all profit-oriented, and if they cannot get enough benefits, it is inevitable that they will be lost. No matter now or in future generations, it is the same reason.Therefore, in order to protect them, the best way is to let the inheritors of these folk crafts get huge benefits.

"But in the current situation, it's almost impossible to get big benefits and earn big money by relying on these folk crafts." Liu Hong pondered over and over again. If he wants to solve this problem, he still has to rely on the power of the government.

After Liu Hong went back, he sent people to investigate the current types of folk crafts.Then, he ordered that all these items be added to the ranks of worker assessment.As long as the inheritors of these folk crafts practice their skills well, with this skill, they can join the ranks of yes.

But just like this, it can't solve all the problems.After all, there are many folk arts and crafts that were already under the assessment of workers, but because they couldn't make a lot of money, they just got a worker's status and then switched to other careers.

In order to solve this problem, Liu Hong established a folk craft museum.As long as it is an outstanding folk craft, he bought it at a high price and put it on display in this museum.

Even so, not all problems can be solved.But with Liu Hong, the emperor, acting as an emperor, it should be able to attract people's attention.And there are museums as an example, those inheritors of folk crafts with excellent craftsmanship, their works should be able to sell for a good price.In this way, other people have an example and a goal to strive for.

After finishing this set, Liu Hong wandered all over the capital.Look for those folk craftsmen to see how effective his measures are.

Liu Hong didn't know how to solve the problem of folk crafts, and he discovered a new problem in the process of wandering around.But this time it has nothing to do with folk crafts, it is the handicraft industry that has the problem.

Because Liu Hong vigorously develops technology and encourages mechanized and assembly line production, the price of the same item, which is mechanized and assembled, is much lower than that of traditional handmade products.In this way, practitioners of traditional handicrafts face the danger of unemployment.

Mechanization and assembly lines are good, but Liu Hong does not want to completely throw away the handicraft industry.After all, Liu Hong knows that almost all the luxury goods of later generations are handmade.It can be seen that the handicraft industry must be preserved.

But the business of beheading is done by someone, and the business of losing money is not done.Since you can't make money, why do people work so hard to do these things.

"Well, in the final analysis, it's still a matter of profit." But this thing is easy to solve, and later generations have given the idea, just turn handmade products into luxury goods.

For this reason, Liu Hong ordered that all items used in the palace must be handmade.The items used by the royal family to worship ancestors must all be handmade.

Although Liu Hong only gave orders to the imperial palace and the royal family, there is a word called "acting from top to bottom".So Liu Hong ordered that all the nobles and the items they used be replaced by handmade ones.Then the rich people also replaced it with pure handmade ones.It didn't take long for handmade items to become luxury goods.

Of course, when nobles buy things, they always only buy the most expensive, not the best.But they are not fools, the quality is really low, they will never catch their eyes.Therefore, the Chamber of Commerce made a grade assessment for those handmade items.For each item, the detailed level is divided, so that people can see at a glance whether the item is good or bad.

For this approach, Liu Hong is very proud.For rich people, it is not a big deal to spend a high price on luxury goods, and it is also conducive to the circulation of coins.And people without money also have a lot of high-quality and cheap mechanical products to use to ensure their living needs, which is basically the best of both worlds.
