Section 127

Instead, they stayed in a stable and fixed place, concentrating on trimming their own parts.

Moreover, Zhu Zhanji also spent a lot of effort to roughly unify the weights and measures of all people.

In this way, the parts produced by all parties can be perfectly spliced ​​together.

In addition, the best craftsmen were given extra meat and money rewards.

This greatly increased the enthusiasm of the craftsmen.

How miserable the lives of craftsmen were in the past, basically no one knew.

To put it bluntly, many craftsmen may not live as happily as beggars!

Of course, it was not that the court really only allocated them such a small amount of money.

Instead, the money was transferred from the Ministry of Households to the Ministry of Works, and from the Ministry of Works to the management of craftsmen, this layer of Shangshu, Shilang, Shangguan, Liyuan, etc.

Everyone took a little and rewarded themselves, isn't this reasonable?

Under Zhu Zhanji's management, the salary of the craftsmen was directly connected to the craftsmen by the Prince's Mansion, and other officials were not allowed to interfere at all.

Therefore, the craftsmen received a lot more salary.

And Zhu Zhanji also built dormitories for the craftsmen to live in.

This also made the craftsmen work harder for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!

"Old Wang, take us to visit the workshop!" Zhu Zhanji shouted.

A thin but strong old man appeared in front of the three people.

Zhu Zhanji introduced: "This is the best blacksmith in the workshop. When he makes iron sheets, he only needs to take a glance and can beat the iron sheets into the desired shape within a hundred strokes!"

Zhu Zhankan nodded, with a little silver light in his eyes.

This old man really has potential. His body has begun to accept spiritual energy slightly!

Chapter 136 The inevitable alchemy

According to Zhu Zhankan's observation, the bodies of most creatures have actually begun to autonomously accept the free spiritual energy from the world.

This speed of accepting spiritual energy is not actually very slow.

But it is not very fast either.

If the concentration of spiritual energy remains unchanged, it is estimated that in another three to five years, this old man will have the opportunity to reach the realm equivalent to the level of entering the Tao.

"I am Wang San, the humble man, and I meet the three officials." Although Zhu Zhankan and Zhu Zhanji look very young, Old Wang did not dare to neglect them at all.

"By the way, Old Wang, this is for you!" Zhu Zhanji put an official seal in Old Wang's hand.

"This?..." Old Wang looked at Zhu Zhanji in disbelief.

"This is a seal of a ninth-rank official! From today on, you are a ninth-rank official of my Ming Dynasty! Of course, you don't have too much power." Zhu Zhanji said with a smile.

"This..." Old Wang immediately knelt on the ground: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your grace!!!"

Official status! This is an official status of the Ming Dynasty!

From the founding of the country to today, Old Wang has never heard of any pure craftsman who can get an official status!

Old Wang was originally very satisfied with the treatment of the craftsmen in their workshop, and now it has brought him such a huge surprise!

He, Old Wang, has made a difference! He, Old Wang, has become an official!

Old Wang led the way in front, sometimes happy and sometimes crying, and Zhu Zhanji followed with his two younger brothers to observe the overall layout of the workshop.

Zhu Zhankan nodded. It's true that the workshop of the elder brother is really well built!

It already looks a bit like a factory in the future.

The prosperity of industry depends entirely on these craftsmen to lay the foundation.

Zhu Zhankan was still thinking, with these craftsmen as the foundation, is there a chance to promote an engineering school?

In a blink of an eye, the food, clothing, housing and transportation in the workshop have been checked.

Zhu Zhankan asked curiously: "Brother, if you do this, I'm afraid there will be a lot of dissatisfaction in the court, especially in the Ministry of Industry, right?"

How can it not be?

According to the piecework method to calculate wages, the salaries of many senior craftsmen even exceed those of the Ministry of Industry officials in the Ming Dynasty!

I studied hard for more than ten years and finally became an official.

You, a group of craftsmen, made some military ships and got more money than us officials.

Who can bear this?

Zhu Zhanji nodded and smiled bitterly: "It's more than just an opinion, it's simply horrible!"

"Sometimes it's an ancestral system, sometimes it's a rule, in short, they think I treat the craftsmen too well!"

For God's sake, Zhu Zhanji only distributed 60% to 70% of the income from the sale of ships to these craftsmen!

And a large part of this 60% was taken home directly by him.

In other words, the distribution to the craftsmen only accounted for 30% to 40% of the ships made by the craftsmen!

The reason why the profit margin is so large is naturally because they are in a monopoly position!

High technology means strong confidence!

Anyway, except for their old Zhu family, you can't get good ships from other families.

If you are willing to drive those ships that are behind the times, don't blame them for doing a good business.

As for whether there are private shipyards that dare to directly buy the ships made by Zhu Zhanji and then imitate them?

Don't say it, there are really people who dare to do so.

Now the whole family is probably ready to reincarnate.

Zhu Zhanji had already given the shipyard a royal cover when he opened it.

Dare to imitate the royal ships, it is simply a disdain for the number of people in the three tribes!

"There is no way, the profits of the shipyard were not shared with them, and the final result is like this."

Zhu Zhankan looked at the medium-sized treasure ship that was still being tried to make, with a thoughtful look on his face.

Wait a little longer, Zheng He will probably be back.

The achievement mission of the voyage to the West has been on the list for a long time, it's time to go and find out.

The current workshop is not big, and the products are not much.

The group finished the tour quickly.

"Okay, now that we're done, let's go back and make pills!" Zhu Zhankan smiled maliciously.

"Ah~~~" Zhu Zhanji felt his body was hollowed out.

......

Jingxin Mansion.

Zhu Zhanji sat beside Zhu Zhankan with no desire to live, ready to be baptized by the knowledge of beast-controlling pills.

"I'll say a few words, long story short!"

Zhu Zhankan smiled and looked at the two energetic people.

"We are in a magical era! The spiritual energy here is beginning to recover, and we are just at the beginning of the spiritual energy recovery. This is a very lucky node, but also an unfortunate node."

"Fortunately, we can enjoy the dividends of this era and become a giant in the future."

"Unfortunately, everything may require us to explore step by step!"

"And today, I will lead you to explore the first secondary occupation exploration of this new era!"

"This secondary occupation is the alchemist! To be precise, it is the animal alchemist!"

Zhu Zhankan's expression became more serious, and Zhu Zhanji and Zhu Zhanji's eyes seemed to be attracted by Zhu Zhankan.

Energy seems to have become a little more focused.

"First, the most basic step in learning to make an elixir is to identify the medicinal materials!"

"This step seems to be easy at present."

"Because in this era, there are not many medicinal materials with unique effects."

"As long as we can identify the medicinal properties of the medicinal materials, we can use them as long as the medicinal properties are sufficient and the toxins are not strong."

"In the end, it is enough to extract the medicinal properties from the medicinal materials, so that we can make the most appropriate medicine!"

Zhu Zhankan took out two bathtubs and placed them in front of the eldest and the fifth, and said with a friendly face: "Then let's try it now!"

"Add spiritual energy, and use spiritual energy to stir the pot of medicinal materials in front of you!"

Zhu Zhankan instructed from the side.

Zhu Zhanji and Zhu Zhankan forced themselves to hold back their physiological activities and began to use spiritual energy to stir the medicinal materials!

One! Two! Three!
