Chapter 097
To put it bluntly, Baigong is a variety of technical talents.
The main reason why they distinguish them from politicians, officers, and these professional talents is that all the craftsmen are professional talents who specialize in one or several items.
During the Warring States Period, the status of hundreds of craftsmen was not bad, and the same was true during the Qin and Han Dynasties.
Han Yu wrote in "Encouraging Learning": "A gentleman is despised by witch doctors and musicians. Now his wisdom is beyond the reach of his level. Is it strange?" It can be seen that during the Sui and Tang Dynasties, all craftsmen had completely fallen into the middle and lower classes and had completely lost their voice. Perhaps the most stringent person to the hundred craftsmen was in the Ming Dynasty. Under the four-class system, craftsmen completely fell into the lower class, which was also a helplessness in history.
But in the Warring States Period, all the labourers were still very important departments.
Although Lu Ban was a carpenter, he was the head of Gongshuo’s family and a member of the literati class who was completely literati. It can be said that in the Warring States Period, the craftsman family represented by Gongshuo was the source of progress in this era. And the recognition of craftsmen, especially top craftsmen, was very high in various countries.
Since Gongshuji is the son of Gongshu, he naturally needs to be treated with courtesy.
Qu Yi was helpless to find that a defendant was destroyed, which was even more hateful than Bian Zibai and Gongsun Yang's stubbornness, and he refused to admit his debts. Since Gong Wei granted Gongshuo's seats in the hall, it means that Gongshuo has the qualification to point fingers at him. If he deliberately embarrassed the other party at this time, he realized that he was just a craftsman and one of the many defendants who were accused, he might be warned by his boss Zisi in the immediate aftermath.
I looked at the old-fashioned public transport machine. Qu Yi was like yawning with his mouth, but he accidentally ate a fly.
This person has no choice but to judge. Qu Yi glanced at Gongshuji and said in his heart.
If Wei State disliked the Gongshu family, represented by hundreds of workers, it would be easily resisted by craftsmen. But it is obvious that Gongshu Ji put a condom on Quyi. If he recognized his identity from the beginning, Quyi would probably not be so passive. However, some procedures could not be exempted. Quyi had to see Gongshu Ji with the etiquette of a doctor and asked: "Mr. Gongshu, do you still remember to give the Bianzi the amount of gold and silver? Why?"
"That's it!" The public transport plane paused, "It was Bian Zibai's reward for a certain drawing. Of course, a few golden cakes were not enough to replace the value of the drawing. It's shameful that the machine had not accumulated much in its hands. It was only a little name for many years of business, but it had not accumulated enough gold and silver to be able to give back to the help given by Bian Zibai."
There are one in the hall, and the eyes of the public transport aircraft are incorrect. Even if it is a national treasure, it is just like that, right?
But it seems that in the description of Gongshuji, he praised Bian Zibai for his lack of financial resources and was ashamed of his inability to repay him. If the truth is true, even Ding Ji felt that he had no choice but to hit him and die in the court. This was simply a pride of insulting the IQs of civil and military officials of the State of Defense.
But the public transport aircraft was not satisfied and said in a lucky tone: "Fortunately the workshop is worth a little money, and the machine is not talented, so it gave some of the members of Xiaobai."
Well, not only give money, but also give money. This is what Gongshuo Ji described as giving money. He did not abuse his power, but was completely grateful and repaying his kindness.
Even Qu Yi felt that the case could not be tried.
Continue to ask what drawings are available for the public transport?
No one asked this question in the court at all. This is the family’s income, so how could it be revealed casually?
Seeing the scene awkward, Zisi said, "Who should be next?"
"The owner of the ironwork workshop." Qu Yi replied.
Since its use, ironware has always been a workshop that countries attach great importance to. The family that can open an ironware workshop in Diqiu is definitely not a family, but a huge super family. Pinglu Wuyan is such a huge family. Pinglu Wuyan’s surname is Wuyan, and his clan is Zhongli, and has the most advanced ironware manufacturing technology in Qi.
The ironwork workshop of Wei State is one of the main workshops of Wuyan Family outside Qi State.
Even if the Wuyan clan in Diqiu is not the most core ruler of the Wuyan clan, if you can master a huge iron tool workshop, you will definitely not be a family branch.
It may also be a very important room among the direct descendants.
"Pinglu Wuyan Family, Zhonglichang has met Duke Wei, Lord Zisi, Nanfeng Dazong Bo, uncle Gong and uncle Gong and younger brother are polite..."
Unlike Gongshuji, a carpenter workshop owner, Zhonglichang, who was born in the Pinglu Wuyan family, is versatile and friendly with almost everyone in the Weiguo court, and seems to have a friendship.
Even Jurong, who is not popular, can say a few words: "Ju Taishi, my workshop has a new batch of iron judges, which are extremely hard and have broken hair. I will make the decision and leave you a set of things and are about to send them to Taishi."
What else can Jurong say? He seems to have taken things from Zhonglichang and never paid. But this is in the court! He has become a person who only loses virtue. What should he do?
"This, Brother Zhongli loves you..." Jurong's head was so big. She refused and made the other party unable to come to Taiwan. Maybe she was so angry that she would reveal the gifts he had received in the iron workshop for more than ten years. Should he be a human being like a tall Taishi? If he can accept it, others are not fools, so he can naturally hear the different taste.
Fortunately, Zhonglichang just passed by, and then he followed other scholars and officials.
The literati and officials who were called famous all turned red. Everyone knows that Duke Wei hates people who are greedy for small gains the most, but they are greedy and still be greedy under Duke Wei’s nose. What should I do?
Zisi was also very troubled when he saw this, so he would not trade with Zhonglichang. Zi's family also has an iron tool workshop, but it is small in scale and is only for his own family. He is the prime minister, so it is most appropriate to interrupt Zhonglichang. "Master Zhonglifang, this time I asked you to come here to ask you for something."
"I know, I know." Even if Zhong Lichang was a defendant, he looked happy. His chubby face was almost impossible to see his eyes, and there was only a slit left.
"Please sit down and talk." Qu Yi pointed to an empty cushion and said to Zhonglichang.
"Is it about Bian Zibai? I have already told you about this when the government came. There is such a thing, and I deserve to lose the workshop because I like gambling. But Bian Zibai is not bad, and I can't explain it without letting me explain it. I gave the next secret recipe. After the head of the family received the secret recipe in Pinglu, he greatly praised him and gave him arbitrary power." Zhong Lichang spoke very well, and he clarified his relationship with Bian Zibai in a few words, including the matter of giving Bian Zi platinum cake, which also attributed it to gambling.
Then Zhong Lichang also pulled out a witness, "Xin Ben, a doctor from Wei State, also knows this! You can find out when you ask him."
Zhonglichang's seemingly simple suggestions are simply difficult for the Wei State Court.
Xin Ben, a senior doctor in the Wei State, should be a senior doctor now.
Xin Ben is a liaison minister sent by Wei State to Wei State, which is equivalent to the Supreme Emperor. This may have been said. After all, Wei State was not long after its founding, and he could not do anything too domineering. However, Xin Ben is a person who needs to be treated cautiously by all the courts of Wei State. If it is a banquet or an ordinary court meeting, witnessing some sacrificial activities, it is naturally no problem to invite Xin Ben.
But if he is asked to appear in the hall as a witness and defendant, just wait for Xin Ben to get angry!
He was the envoy of the overlord. In Wei State, his words and deeds represented the decentness of the king of Wei State. Besides, Xin Ben was promoted from Xia Dafu to Zhong Dafu, a large part of the reason why he purchased a large amount of iron pots and some other marching equipment for the Hexi army of Wei State.
These instruments helped the Wei army to achieve great improvement during field operations, and then they were appreciated and commended by Wei Hou.
If he couldn't buy these equipment because he lost a bet with Bian Zibai, would you tell me that Wei Hou would let him understand the consequences of deceiving the emperor?
Even if there is a bet, Xin Ben will definitely not admit it.
Not only will he not recognize him, but he will also resent the king and ministers of Wei State. Of course, this does not include Bian Zibai and Zhong Lichang, who are important figures that he continues to be appreciated by Wei State. If he does not want to be forgotten by Wei State, he will have to rely on Bian Zibai and Zhong Lichang. Iron pots are the product of the Wei State's iron tools workshop. Bian Zibai's accomplishments in marching and his ability to rely on the help of artifacts made him even more fascinated. No one can teach such excellent students without military tactics.
As for the others...
Humph.
Xin Ben would let the Wei people know that the consequences of offending the envoy who overthrew the overlord would be very serious.
