The abandoned wife married into a wealthy family, and the scumbag father wailed every night
Chapter 273 The Craftsman's Hope
"Hey, I heard that the government is going to sell a stove in the yamen, saying that it can not only make the house as warm as spring, but also cook and boil water!"
In the streets and alleys of Yanjing City, the common people now have food and drink, their spirits are refreshed, and they are even more eager to gossip!
Young wives and old wives were all wrapped up in their clothes and gossiping on the streets. They hadn't come out to gossip for a long time because it was really cold!
But the man who worked for them yesterday came back and told them that the Crown Princess was going to sell an iron stove in the yamen today, and the quantity was limited, so it was on a first-come, first-served basis. He repeatedly told them to make sure to grab one as soon as possible!
So, they couldn't help but whisper to their "melons".
"My husband reminded me again and again yesterday. Although we don't know what the Crown Princess wants to buy, I think she will definitely not cheat us. Let's go and line up quickly!"
Another woman ran to the yamen with her "honey melon" in her hand at the speed of wind!
These two best friends, who are allies and like close friends, also have a natural understanding at this moment. They are pulling each other and can't wait to fly to the yamen!
But when they arrived at the yamen, they found they were already too late!
There is already a long queue in front of the yamen!
So the two of them began to dislike each other's slowness, and they were secretly thinking in their hearts that if they didn't buy it, they would tell their men that it was the other party's slowness that caused them to not buy it!
At this moment, the two close friends have each set a big pot for each other!
A yamen runner was actively queuing up numbers for the team. When he took the picture of these two melons, he was already numbered over 400.
After the yamen runners finished taking the numbers, they started shouting:
"Alright! Alright! Everyone from No. 300 onwards can go home! Tomorrow, people from No. 301 to No. 600 can come and buy one. We only have 300 stoves a day!"
"Ah! Why are there so few? We got up before dawn and are almost freezing to death. Why don't you buy more?"
Some people in the crowd began to shout in dissatisfaction.
"That's right! That's right! We got up so early and still couldn't buy it!"
"Why don't you sell it to us? We came here early in the morning too!"
These women were afraid of not completing the tasks assigned by their men. Now that they knew that the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess were wholeheartedly serving the people, they thought that they were soft-hearted and would not do anything to the common people, so they started to make trouble!
"Why are you shouting? Do you think this iron furnace was blown here by the strong wind? It needs to be made by craftsmen one by one. Now the craftsmen are busy making the furnace for you! They can only sleep for two hours a day!"
"If that troublemaker dares to cause trouble again, I will take back the number I just sent her!"
Gu Yubai looked at the rioting crowd and shouted angrily!
As soon as he finished speaking, the noisy crowd quieted down.
They knew this man; he was the Crown Princess' uncle.
Many things recently were arranged by him on behalf of the Crown Princess, so he is also regarded as the uncle by the common people!
This uncle had a bad temper and he might really take away the license plate they had worked so hard to get. So the troublemakers shut up and dared not say another word.
Gu Yubai was born a gangster and understands the psychology of these unreasonable people best.
Therefore, Xie Yiyao gave all the work of connecting with the common people to him.
Xie Yiyao naturally knew that the sale of the stove would not be so smooth. She came to the workshop and looked at the craftsmen who were working hard.
Recently, she has been giving the craftsmen extra meat for dinner from time to time, and now they all look very strong!
Xie Yiyao watched the craftsmen working and fell into deep thought. There are about 5 people in Yanjing City, including some county towns.
If we assume that each family has 10 people, 5000 iron stoves would be needed. Now there are about 2 people living in the city, and the rest are in various county towns.
It will take at least 20 days to distribute all the stoves to the local people.
After thinking it over, Xie Yiyao signaled the craftsmen who were working to stop:
"I plan to abolish your craftsman system. If your descendants do not want to be craftsmen in the future, they can also participate in the imperial examinations like other children of ordinary people."
As soon as Xie Yiyao finished speaking, the sound of iron sheets falling was heard!
Some people even accidentally hit their feet, causing them to grimace in pain.
But his eyes were still fixed on Xie Yiyao, as if he was afraid that Xie Yiyao would disappear in the blink of an eye!
"Isn't the Crown Princess trying to trick the servants?"
An old man who was a little braver said tremblingly.
Once a craftsman is registered, he has to work until his death, so even if he is old, he is not eligible to go home to retire.
"I never lie. From now on, craftsmen can go home and grow old when they are 40 years old. The court will give each of you a monthly salary for your retirement according to your workload and contribution!"
Wow!
The workshop instantly became lively!
The craftsmen were so excited that they were at a loss and spoke incoherently. No one could believe that such a good thing could happen!
"Quiet! The benefits I gave you by canceling your craftsman status are not given for nothing! I need you to speed up the process and find a way to ensure that every household in Yanjing City has at least one iron stove within 10 days! Can you do it?"
Xie Yiyao looked at these craftsmen with a grim expression and said, if they were to exchange 10 days for the happiness of their future generations, as long as they had a clear mind, they would know how to choose.
In fact, they were already working much harder than when she first came to Yanjing, but it was still far from enough.
She was a military doctor who followed the army in fighting and building infrastructure in the last days. She witnessed with her own eyes the army building one base after another, and of course she understood the psychology of these grassroots people.
The more you give me, the more I will do. My work efficiency depends on how much you give me!
She will give these craftsmen everything they deserve, but if you want to fool her, don't blame her for turning against you!
After hearing what Xie Yiyao said, some craftsmen showed guilty expressions on their faces.
I hope the Crown Princess won’t notice that they are slacking off. In fact, they are working much more efficiently than before.
It’s just that slacking off has become a habit, and it’s hard to change it for the time being!
After all, in the past, one meal consisted of a hard steamed bun made of mixed grains, and one could not survive without slacking off!
"I can do it! I can do it! I guarantee it with my life!"
A burly, dark-skinned man in the workshop shouted excitedly!
He is Chen Dali, the person in charge of this workshop. At this moment, he is looking at the craftsmen with a fierce look on his face:
"If anyone dares to cheat, don't blame me for disregarding our past friendship!"
Because he was too excited, Chen Dali's tendons were shaking!
"That's good. The day you achieve this will be the day you are reborn!"
Xie Yiyao made a promise to them with a proud look on her face, and then looked at "Feng Junyi"
"Feng Junyi" received Xie Yiyao's instructions:
"I am also waiting for your good news. The day you finish the work is the day I will issue the imperial edict. I will never break my promise!"
As soon as "Feng Junyi" finished speaking, the craftsmen burst into deafening cheers!
Xie Yiyao's ears were hurt by the shock, so she quickly pulled the tool "Feng Junyi" away!
