Looking at Zhu Youxiao's back, Concubine Yuan sighed helplessly.
This Majesty of ours is good in everything except his children. He has no restraint in his dealings with these two daughters, especially since he dotes on them.
If Concubine Yuan also traveled from the future, she would know that Zhu Youxiao's behavior is called being a daughter slave.
Zhu Youxiao didn't care much about this. After all, he was supposed to pamper his daughter, unlike his two unlucky sons.
Zhu Youxiao even decided to find good husbands for his two daughters in the future. As for the rule that relatives of the emperor could not participate in politics, he would abolish it later.
Of course, it's not really abolished, there are restrictions. Even the royal family members are the same, they will be given it later.
When the time comes, they will be divided into different fiefdoms. After all, for Zhu Youxiao, the world is so big, and he should let them go and see it. I am afraid that by then, these royal relatives may not be enough.
Strolling forward with his hands behind his back, Zhu Youxiao glanced at Wei Chao and said, "Is everyone here?"
"Your Majesty, everyone has arrived. Several cabinet ministers, the six ministers, and several chief of staff of the General Staff Office have all arrived." Wei Chao said hurriedly.
Although His Majesty has not been in charge of much affairs in the past two years and is not as murderous as before, now all the civil and military officials, both inside and outside the palace, respect Zhu Youxiao more, or are more afraid of him.
The emperor's prestige was growing day by day. Under such circumstances, no one dared to act recklessly, and no one even dared to speak carelessly.
The reason is very simple. His Majesty is so prestigious. He used to be aggressive and aggressive, but now he deals with people in a very subtle way. No one dares to underestimate him. If they are not careful, they will be doomed.
Zhu Youxiao didn't bother to pay attention to their thoughts. To put it bluntly, isn't it because he has the confidence?
The Imperial Army Commander's Office had already told everyone not to mess around, as any attempt to do so would only result in death. Under such circumstances, there was naturally no room for discussion.
When Zhu Youxiao arrived at the front, someone was already waiting there.
When everyone saw Zhu Youxiao, they bowed and saluted him.
"No need for formalities." Zhu Youxiao said casually, and then sat directly on the dragon throne.
Zhu Youxiao glanced at everyone and said, "I called you all here today because I have something to discuss with you."
Everyone was stunned and waited for Zhu Youxiao to speak.
In fact, they had seen this kind of scene before, and it was not the first time. It was just that there seemed to be no such thing in recent years. His Majesty did not take care of things much, and usually everyone would submit their reports.
Today's scene makes everyone think back to a few years ago.
"I summoned you here today to discuss the craftsman rating."
Zhu Youxiao had actually been planning this a long time ago, but he had never implemented it. Now was the time to bring it out.
The Four Classes Theory had already fermented to a great extent and everyone had accepted it.
The so-called "Four Classes Theory" refers to the equality of the four classes. Of course, this refers to the scholars, farmers, merchants, and artisans. However, in reality, it doesn't refer to these four classes, but rather to four social classes. Extending this, it means equality for all people.
Under such circumstances, it is appropriate to propose the policy of the Four Classes Theory at this time.
Of course, there is another problem here. Although this theory exists and the law has been enacted, it has not been effectively implemented and enforced.
For a while, everyone's mindset couldn't change. The scholars were still ranked first. They were officials, possessing power and status, and they couldn't be challenged by those below them. Their legal status was the same, though.
What Zhu Youxiao wanted to do this time was to elevate the status of craftsmen. To put it bluntly, it was to establish a system for assessing craftsmen and give them a grade.
Craftsmen of different ranks were treated differently. Zhu Youxiao would bring the treatment of craftsmen closer to that of officials, but he couldn't say it publicly and would do it privately.
Once these craftsmen received the benefits, others would naturally understand what was going on.
Eat your meal one bite at a time, there is no need to rush.
For Zhu Youxiao, this was just the beginning, and he believed it would be a good start.
Zhu Youxiao called everyone here today for this purpose, to give the craftsmen a proper level assessment.
Such things also happened in later generations. Zhu Youxiao still remembered that when he was a child, his father said that he was a seventh-level fitter, and his face was full of pride when he said it.
In my father's words at the time, he could make a gun by hand.
At that time, Zhu Youxiao was still young and did not understand what this meant. But when Zhu Youxiao grew up, or in the Ming Dynasty, he understood what this technology meant.
One can imagine the strength of a person who can make a gun.
It can be said that there were many talented people among the people in the Ming Dynasty. Various craftsmen and skills were passed down from their ancestors. These people made a living by guarding these things. Although many things have been lost, there are still many that have been passed down.
It is naturally impossible to collect these things together and gather these craftsmen together.
But if these craftsmen are allowed to take exams and are given treatment, even the same treatment as officials, then these craftsmen will definitely be willing to step forward.
Zhu Youxiao believed that by sending people from the Academy of Craftsmen to all directions to organize examinations, he would definitely be able to select a group of excellent craftsmen.
