By that time, I will have craftsmen to use. When I recruit workers in the future, I can directly call out the level, for example, I need a level 4 blacksmith.
After the court set the wages, outsiders who wanted to hire such workers would have to pay a higher price. Because if the price was lower than the court's, the craftsmen would go to the court to work, so why would they hire you privately?
After all, in addition to wages, the court also provided various benefits.
In this way, the status of craftsmen will naturally be improved, and everyone will not always rush towards studying.
This is something that will change the trend, and it may cost money in the early stages.
As for whether there will be too many craftsmen to use?
That is impossible, and nothing like this will happen in the next few hundred years. The Ming Dynasty simply cannot have enough craftsmen, and there will be a shortage of people everywhere.
Building ships, cannons, steam engines, and trains, in a nutshell, use as many as you have.
The ministers below did not react for a moment, but as for the matter of rating craftsmen, they understood it after a little thought.
After all, everyone has seen a lot of strange things that the current emperor has done. But everyone also realizes that the current emperor has his own ideas.
Most of the things that were made back then have already shown their power by now. This is also the reason why everyone admires the emperor more and more.
It's just that no one spoke for a moment, or no one knew what to say.
Zhu Youxiao glanced at the crowd and said, "Does anyone have any ideas? Or do you just not know what to do?"
"Your Majesty, I think this is feasible."
At this time, a man stood up with a serious expression on his face, but his tone revealed excitement, and he obviously looked supportive.
Zhu Youxiao looked over and found that the person was Yuan Yingtai.
Since being captured in Liaodong, Yuan Yingtai's life has been very difficult and he has been silent for three years.
After the collapse of the Donglin Party, Yuan Yingtai was no longer of much use and was always neglected by Zhu Youxiao.
It was not until a year ago that Yuan Yingtai was appointed as the Minister of Works.
At this time, the Donglin Party's influence in the court was very small, and it could no longer extend its influence.
At this time, the power in the court had basically been divided up. In addition to Xu Guangqi, Han Yu, and Huang Kezun in the cabinet, there were also the newly appointed Minister of War Cui Jinglong and the Minister of Personnel Zhou Jiamo. Everyone could be said to have a small group of brothers.
But on the General Staff side, Yuan Keli and Sun Chengzong formed a group, Zhang Weixian and others kept interfering, and there were also Cui Chengxiu and others supported by Wei Zhongxian. It can be said that there were many factions and each of them was in charge of its own affairs.
Under such circumstances, it was impossible for the Donglin Party to gain power.
Under such circumstances, Yuan Yingtai was naturally pulled back by Zhu Youxiao, because he really couldn't find any suitable candidate at the moment, and he didn't dare to put anyone in the Ministry of Works casually.
So Yuan Yingtai is now the Minister of Works, and the Left Minister of Works.
For Yuan Yingtai, even as the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Works, his life was not easy.
Everyone in the court was ostracizing him. After all, he had no one above him, and no one below him. He was the kind of person who was being sidelined. If it weren't for His Majesty's protection, he would have been squeezed out by now.
Now, there is fierce competition for every position in the six ministries of the imperial court, especially between Xu Guangqi and Han Yu. The competition between these two can be described as fierce, and they even had a fight for a while before the New Year.
Seeing Yuan Yingtai stand up, everyone's expression was different. Some didn't care, some frowned, and some showed a gloating expression. In any case, it didn't look good.
Everyone has their own opinions about Yuan Yingtai, but he is not very popular.
Zhu Youxiao smiled. Although Yuan Yingtai was not good at fighting, he was good at logistics and engineering, and he was also a good official.
Zhu Youxiao was very satisfied when he saw Yuan Yingtai was the first to come out and support him this time.
Zhu Youxiao said: "My dear minister, please feel free to speak up if you have any ideas. As long as your ideas are good, I will certainly reward you generously."
"If you can make a plan for this matter, then I will leave it to you."
After hearing this, everyone's faces turned ugly, and some people even started to glare at him, ready to kick Yuan Yingtai and snatch the job away.
