"Yuan Aiqing has such a big temper."

Zhu Cixuan, surrounded by the eunuch and Jinyiwei, walked into the tent factory, and looked at Yuan Tai who was furious with a nearly playful look.

ah!

Yuan Tai was stunned for a moment, then he knelt down on the ground with a plop, performing the usual ceremony of kneeling and knocking three times.

"Yuan Tai, the doctor of the Ministry of Works and Construction Department, bowed to Your Majesty, long live my emperor. I don't know that the sage is coming, and I am a misfortune to welcome you. I hope the sage will forgive you."

The crew members also knelt down and shouted long live. Although they were curious about what the emperor looked like, their awe of the emperor still overwhelmed their curiosity and made them bury their heads honestly.

At this moment, Yuan Tai's heart was collapsed. His Majesty the Emperor suddenly arrived at the Longjiang Shipyard, which was without any signs. And why didn't the eunuch sing the newspaper?

In fact, it is not the eunuch who personally issued an order, and the sages did not sing any report, just to see the real working status of the ministers.

I have to say that Zhu Cilang was very disappointed with the scene he saw.

Take Yuan Tai as an example. As a doctor at the Ministry of Works, he didn’t know the crux of the problem and just gave orders. What’s the use?

Could it be that if he says he must complete it within three days, the craftsmen in the shipyard can really build a wind tent?

If it was so simple, then at the command of Zhu Cixuan, would the Ming army be invincible and kill Jiannu without leaving any armor?

Zhu Cixuan has always fully trusted grassroots officials, but now it seems that he is wrong. The Chinese officialdom has not changed since ancient times. The trend of flattery and deceives superiors and conceals subordinates is prevalent, but his ability is not valued.

It was precisely because there were too many bureaucrats like Yuan Tai that they were unable to return.

It seems that there is a long way to go to rectify the administration!

Zhu Cixuan sighed in his heart, cleared his throat and said, "I am determined to repair the Longjiang Treasure Shipyard and build various types of river and sea boats for the imperial court. But I also know that the shipyard has been abandoned for a long time. If I want to restore the decisive achievements, why should Yuan Qing make things difficult for these craftsmen?"

Although Zhu Cilang's voice was not loud, it had an unquestionable majesty.

Yuan Tai was held accountable by the emperor. He was already scared to death and kowtowed repeatedly and said, "I know my mistake. I know my mistake..."

Although Zhu Cixuan wanted to punish Yuan Tai, he also knew that nine out of ten officials in the Ming Dynasty had to be like Yuan Tai. Even if he changed Yuan Tai now, it would not have much effect.

Rather than doing this, it is better to teach these officials how to do things yourself.

Zhu Cixuan turned around slightly and said to the armor who had been beaten and lying on the ground, "What's your name?"

The chief ar was stunned and was only struggling to get up after being reminded by his companions.

"If you are injured, you don't have to get up and see you."

"Caomin, Caomin Wu Youcai, pay homage to the emperor."

Wu Youcai saluted Zhu Cilang as he was in the play and lowered his head tremblingly.

"Wu Youcai, I will ask you, you are the leader of the first academy, why can't you manage your own affairs well?"

"When I return to the emperor, the Caomin was appointed temporarily by the adults, and his prestige was not enough to convince the public."

Wu Youcai was honest and sold the supervisory officials of Longjiang Shipyard without hesitation.

Zhu Cilang thought for a moment and said, "Since that's the case, it's not your fault. But since you have been appointed as Chief of Armor, you should think of some solutions with your heart. Forget it, I'll think about it for you."

After a moment of pause, Zhu Cilang said solemnly: "From now on, Longjiang Shipyard will be regarded as military camps, all ship workers will be regarded as officers and soldiers, wings will be used as camps, armor will be used as whistles, and armor will be used as whistles. If someone despises you, it will be used as military law. You can take it into consideration by military law."

Zhu Cixuan's words undoubtedly surprised the ship workers at Longjiang Shipyard. Although the shipyard was directly under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Works before, it had never been militarized. Since the emperor said that the shipyard was managed according to the military camp from now on, if they made mistakes, they should deal with it according to military law. I heard that the military camp was very harsh and soldiers would be executed at any time, which scared the ship workers.

"Of course, my meaning is similar to the military camp, and it is not completely copied. The death penalty is not applicable here, and corporal punishments such as Guan Er are not allowed, but military sticks and other punishments can be used."

Zhu Cixuan added: "Captain A is equivalent to an officer and has the power to enforce the law. However, you also need to be supervised by the supervisory officials."

Zhu Cixuan's ideas are actually very similar to the model of the border army in the late Ming Dynasty.

From soldiers to low-level officers to senior generals, they are tied to the chain of loyalty of Huang Ming. Supervising officials is equivalent to supervising the army, which can prevent senior generals from committing misconduct.

Yuan Tai's eyes lit up. The Holy Emperor's method is good. Didn't the Chief A complaint about his lack of prestige? His Majesty gave them sufficient status so that ordinary boatmen would not dare to provoke their authority.

Wonderful, wonderful, why didn't he think of it?

My Emperor is really wise!

Zhu Cixuan took a few more steps forward and said solemnly: "But you are not real soldiers after all, and you cannot receive military pay. I think your monthly money is better from the Ministry of Works, but the method needs to be changed and the bill is based on the piece."

Zhu Cilang had long felt that Zhu Yuanzhang's craftsman system was somewhat anti-human. The craftsmen were not only used as craftsmen for generations, but they were the same as more and more. At most, they had a lot of money and were very enthusiastic. But he could not abolish the craftsman system for a while, so he could only guide him slowly.

"You may ask your Majesty, what does it mean to charge for a piece?"

Yuan Tai mustered up the courage to ask.

"Yuan Qing asked," Zhu Cilang nodded in praise: "Billing by piece means settle the money according to the number of items created by craftsmen. For example, if a craftsman builds ten masts, he will settle the wages of ten masts. If it is twenty, he will settle the wages of twenty."

Zhu Cilang said this, and Yuan Tai certainly understood. But he was really shocked.

The craftsmen in the Ming Dynasty had a very low status and basically only had a fixed monthly money. In fact, this monthly money was not much left after layers of exploitation, so they could only barely ensure that the craftsmen would not starve to death.

After the ceremony of the ascension ceremony and enthronement of the Eastern Palace, the court would also reward some silver for craftsmen, but this is hard to come by.

Now His Majesty actually has to settle the bill for them according to the number of pieces created by the craftsmen. I don’t know how many times the cost will be increased!

Yuan Tai’s first reaction was that the court could not afford it.

Now that Jiannu has stolen Shenjing, all the money from the imperial court is spent on military pay, where can he take out such a large sum of money?

If Zhu Cilang was not able to take it out half a month ago, he even dug out the military pay of the Shen Ce Army from the treasury. But now it is different.

After the grand court meeting that day, a group of civil and military officials, including Duke of Wei, Xu Wenjue, honestly reported their property.

Zhu Cilang ordered the Jinyiwei to carefully check the matter and asked them to donate half of the reports truthfully. Those who had concealed anything would be sent to the imperial prison for corruption and all their property would be investigated.

Now Zhu Cilang has tens of millions of taels of silver on hand, and all of them are in the treasury. Therefore, not to mention a Longjiang shipyard, he can afford to expand the Shence Army to 100,000 people!
