When the Ming Dynasty was just founded, Zhu Yuanzhang, an idealist "economist" directly designated identities for all classes of the Ming Dynasty: private households (farmers), craftsmen (workers), military households, merchants, medical households, and stoves (the method of salt burning in the sea in the early Ming Dynasty was not invented. Salt production mainly relies on boiling sea water and brine, and large stoves were used, so salt producers were called stoves. During the Jiajing period, salt burning in the sea was widely promoted, but the name of stoves was not changed), etc. It was also stipulated that in the future, all walks of life would adhere to their own attributes and pass them on from generation to generation.

This is of course an overly ideal system and is destined to not last long.

Some professions require talent. For example, the profession of doctors, if the ancestors don’t reward you with this bowl of rice, they will never be able to learn no matter how you learn it. A father is a good doctor, but his son may not be able to do good medicine. If you insist on passing it on from generation to generation, it is likely that the father was trying hard to save people and live people in the past few decades, while the son kept hurting and killing people in the past few decades.

Besides, people are divided into wise, stupid, hardworking and lazy. If the time is a little longer, the gap will naturally come out. Take the stove owners who specialize in salt production as an example. The Ming Dynasty has been established for more than 200 years. Some of the stove owners in the past have become big bosses of salt farms, and have invested their funds in multiple industries, becoming cross-industry giants. What about some? Six or seven generations have been engaged in salt production. Some have either become hardworking workers of salt farm owners, or they simply fled...

Therefore, during the Wanli Dynasty, the system set by Zhu Yuanzhang had long been in name only.

However, you can't say that Zhu Yuanzhang was whimsical. Because this household registration system was very reasonable and had great progressive significance in the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty.

The Mongolian Yuan entered the Central Plains, which had long been the mainstream slavery system in the Central Plains. When Zhu Yuanzhang founded the country, in order to liberate all the slaves of the powerful class, he took great pains to formulate this household registration system for fixed practices in all classes. It should be said that this system played a great role in destroying the slavery system. In fact, when this system began to collapse during the Chenghua period and when the Jiajing period was basically empty, the powerful and wealthy people in the Ming Dynasty began to accumulate slavery again...

In short, the household registration system in the Ming Dynasty was in the early days of the founding of the country by Zhu Yuanzhang with good intentions and indeed achieved great results. However, the development of the times was never subject to the personal will of the ruler. Therefore, in the end, this system was not able to last long after Lao Zhu's death.

Specifically, Zhu Youdong asked Zhu Changluo to coordinate with the craftsmen. The system in the early Ming Dynasty was very strict, but it could not withstand the continuous craftsmen and fled in large quantities. At least since the Chenghua period, the court had publicly agreed that craftsmen would pay the craftsmen and do not have to work at designated locations. Therefore, over the past two hundred years, the craftsmen system in the Ming Dynasty had been very relaxed. The current Ministry of Works used the collected craftsmen to hire people to engage in production.

However, in any era, no matter how relaxed the country's control over craftsmen is, the country will definitely hold on to the top group of craftsmen with the best skills. Unless this country perishes, it will never let go.

Zhu Youdong is the one who is eyeing this kind of craftsman: ordinary craftsmen need to find Zhu Changluo? Wouldn't he spend money on hiring him?

"Minghu? Dong'er, what do you want the craftsman to do?"

"Father, didn't the child ask for a farm from Grandpa the Emperor? If you want to do something in the farm, you need some top craftsmen. This, my teacher, father, to be honest, except for Mr. Chen and Mr. Lu, the other few of them are actually just starting their careers. And Mr. Chen and Mr. Lu, the child is somewhat afraid, so he can only ask his father to take action."

"Ha~~~There are people you are afraid of? It's really rare. Well, my son is smart and has a very orderly manner in his work. I won't ask what he does for his father. There are only two things: one is that the royal decency must be maintained and no things that are not tasteless. Secondly, my son is also the crown prince. The word "benevolence" is the most important, so he must not do things that are harmful to the world."

"Yeah, yeah...Don't worry, what the child has to do is all things that benefit the country and the people. When the results are achieved, the father will only be proud of the child."

"Hahahaha~~ Of course, my son is very proud of his father. Well, let's talk, what kind of craftsman do you want? I will definitely have the idea for you to do it."

It is also very particular about asking for help from others. Specifically speaking of Zhu Youdong's craftsmanship, he can of course directly seek Wanli. But this matter is not a big deal (the craftsmanship really won't receive much attention from the rulers in an official society). If you ask the emperor directly for big and small matters, it would be too unwilling to take the emperor seriously. If you do this for a long time, the emperor will feel that you are a person who doesn't know the importance of it.

Moreover, Zhu Changluo is Zhu Youdong's father, and the father and son now live under the same roof. You are passionate and indifferent to your grandfather all day long, and do you want to live to adulthood?

Therefore, find some things for Zhu Changluo to feel the feeling of being valued and the presence of being a father, and at the same time, it makes Wanli not have: Why do such a small thing bother me to bother me with bad emotions? This is where Zhu Youdong's skills are.

"Father, the child wants four blacksmiths, four carpenters, four gunpowders, three porcelain makers, three weavers and two cobblers. A total of twenty craftsmen, and their families moved the whole household to the child's farm." After saying this, Zhu Youdong added: "Father, since the child is begging his father to do this, he is certainly not the ordinary craftsman he wants. He needs to be in all walks of life, even if he is not the top, he must be at least first-class. For example, the porcelain maker must be drawn from Jingdezhen..."

"Well, my son really has a big problem for his father. Carpenters are easy to talk about, and blacksmiths, you are the grandson, and it's nothing to have a few blacksmiths. But what is the gunpowder maker coming to do? Although my father is not good at military affairs, he also knows that the bird guns on the Shenji Camp are very dangerous."

"Don't worry, my father wants the gunpowder to come just to make fireworks. After the father allows this, my father will report to the emperor and never cause trouble for his father."

Zhu Changluo is the prince, but he is relatively weak, so it is difficult to have a say in the appointment of officials and the major policies of the country. However, as long as he is willing to come forward, it is easier to deal with as long as he is willing to come forward. The difficulty lies in the quality of craftsmen required by Zhu Youdong.

But there is nothing we can do. After listening to Matteo Ricci's talk about the situation at this time, Zhu Youdong already felt a sense of crisis. Many plans must be implemented at a faster pace.

What are the basic steps for a time traveler to travel from modern times to ancient times?

The first thing to solve is the identity problem, so that we can integrate into society. Zhu Youdong is already very good at this point.

Secondly, there must be a group of subordinates for their own use. In this regard, with Zhu Youdong's enlightenment, he has already established a preliminary team.

The third is that there is some start-up capital, which Wanli gave him.

The fourth is that there is a base, and this one is also there.

After that, it depends on what kind of school you are. The female frequency is scheming and palace fighting. The male frequency is of course the imperial examinations to be an official, an official fighting, and climbing upwards. In the chaotic times, the struggle for hegemony is to accumulate original capital and prepare for future violent soldiers.

Specifically for Zhu Youdong, after having his own imperial village, it is time to start accumulating original capital.

Moreover, he is not the only time traveler in this plane. In addition to making money with a golden finger, he also needs to climb a technology tree...

When was the age when the Chinese in the 21st century who had the most comprehensive knowledge and mastered the most reliable way in their lives? Eighteen or nineteen years old, in their senior year of high school.

Zhu Youdong had graduated from university for many years when he traveled through time, and he paid more than half of his knowledge about mathematics, physics and chemistry to the middle school teachers. He had a lot of medical knowledge, but the rest, to be honest, he actually lacked confidence in asking him to climb the science and technology tree.

And what's even more depressing is that he has no idea what professions the other six time travelers were working in before traveling. What if there are military scientists and equipment manufacturing masters?
