Chapter five hundred and forty-ninth Lao Jiang's wish
There was the sound of air conditioning pumping again.
Xiao Han couldn't help but feel proud as he looked at the two people with their mouths wide open as they competed with the toads!
Country bumpkin, are you so surprised after only ten thousand guan? If you knew that I could get tens of thousands of wealth with a handful of sand, would you still vacuum up this place?
"Master Hou, how can you just make 10,000 yuan with nothing?" Yang Kailue was so shocked that he almost spelled out the last word! Fortunately, he realized something was wrong before he said it and quickly changed his words!
Xiao Han looked at Yang Kailue as if he were a country bumpkin, curled his lips and said: "Ten thousand guan is nothing? That's because cement has not been spread in the Tang Dynasty. Once the entire Tang Dynasty uses my new materials to build houses and cities,
Strengthen the levees! What number is that? Have you ever thought about it?”
Yang Kai shook his head blankly, his whole body dumbfounded.
There was nothing he could do, what Xiao Han said just now had such a huge impact on him! How could a rich landlord who lived by collecting rents imagine that he could still make so much money in this world?!
However, Yang Kai didn't have to be stupid for long, because Xiao Han quickly patted him on the shoulder and said to him: "Hey? What are you excited about? You don't have any skills that can be sold for money!"
"Ah..." Yang Kai screamed slightly and almost vomited blood.
Xiao Han turned his head, ignoring Yang Kailue who fell from heaven to hell, but looked at Lao Jiang who was silent.
After smiling, Xiao Han said: "Lao Jiang, you don't have to be surprised or doubt my purpose! I know that when you are like this, money is no longer the most important thing.
However, I can tell you. I am not trying to flatter myself. Ever since I came to this world, I have been thinking about improving the situation of you craftsmen! And what I have done now is just a little bit.
That’s all! It can be said that what I planned is something you can’t even imagine!”
Hearing Xiao Han suddenly burst out with such heroic words, Lao Jiang, who had been thinking for a long time, finally slowly raised his head, as if meeting Xiao Han for the first time, and carefully looked at the young man Hou in front of him from bottom to top.
Read it carefully.
A simple and elegant white gown, a white jade hairpin, and a face that is somewhat childish because of its youth.
All of this was no different from the wealthy young men he had seen before. If there was any difference, it was that his eyes were exceptionally clear and bright, as bright as... just like the two clear springs in the deep mountains!
Eyes are the windows to the soul. Perhaps these eyes gave Lao Jiang a little confidence. He calmed down and then slowly asked: "I wonder what the Marquis said that we don't even dare to think about?
"
Xiao Han looked at Lao Jiang, first smiled, and then said seriously, word by word: "I hope that the status of craftsmen can be raised to the same level as scholars! Even more, but no worse!"
"How is that possible?!" As soon as Xiao Han said these words, Lao Jiang's face changed drastically and he almost blurted out!
Yes, how is that possible?
People in the world are divided into four classes: scholars, farmers, industry and merchants!
But to be honest, their craftsmen are not as good as even the lowest level businessmen!
At least a businessman can make a fortune, wear brocade silk and satin at home, eat delicacies from the mountains and seas, and be free and unrestrained!
But they, the craftsmen, receive meager remuneration and are subject to the imperial court's deployment at any time. They have no choice, no freedom, and they don't even have a fixed home! Who is willing to try this kind of life?
Facing Lao Jiang's shocked or questioning eyes, Xiao Han smiled and said: "It's up to you whether you believe it or not, but it's up to me whether I do it or not! Lao Jiang, you are also a smart person, we can make a deal!
You help me gather the craftsmen and sort out the technology, and I will give you the rewards you deserve! In ten years, ten years at most, the world will be peaceful! By then, there will be endless ships in the world, and all those who come up with their skills during this period
, everyone will get a share of that prosperous age!
I believe that as long as those techniques and know-how are of great use, not only our children but our children and grandchildren will be able to benefit from them! But even three generations of rich people can still do it!"
Having said this, Xiao Han stopped to take a breath, and then continued to drop a heavy blow to Lao Jiang, whose face was uncertain and had not yet fully digested what he said:
"As for you, Lao Jiang, I will help you accomplish what you want to accomplish! I heard from Yang Kailuo, did you want to go to Chang'an at the beginning? Since you rushed all the way to Chang'an with treasures in your arms, there must be something you want to do! Tell me.
, if it is not an evil thing, I will help you complete it! You may not think that I am just a small county prince now, but I can speak to His Majesty and the King of Qin!"
Xiao Han's words are categorical. If you want people to follow you wholeheartedly, then you must act like your hands and eyes are open to the sky! Otherwise, who will pay attention to you?
Perhaps because Xiao Han had touched his mind, Lao Jiang turned pale for a while and hesitated for a long time. However, after seeing Xiao Han's determined look, he finally felt relieved and knelt down on one knee and said in a trembling voice: "Master Hou.
!I dare not lie to you, Lao Jiang! I am willing to follow you, Mr. Hou! I don’t ask for any reward, I only have one thing to ask you! Please find a way to change the household registration of our Lao Jiang family to a civilian! I, Lao Jiang, did it
Craftsmen, but I don’t want future generations to be craftsmen. They can obviously live a good life! There’s no need to follow my old path!”
At the end of the story, Lao Jiang was already in tears. Xiao Han couldn't bear to see him, so he quickly stepped forward to help Lao Jiang up.
If one person is a craftsman, his descendants will all be craftsmen. If one person is a slave, his descendants will also be slaves.
Xiao Han didn't know who set up this bastard's rule. If he knew, he would have to beat this person into a turtle without a shell in order to swallow this breath!
This bastard doesn't even leave anyone with any hope! His life is ruined and he is doomed to suffer! But the sons and daughters he gave birth to cannot escape this path, so what's the point of living? If it were Xiao Han,
I'd have wiped my own neck and it'd be over!
He pulled the heartbroken Lao Jiang to sit on a big rock by the river. Xiao Han patted his chest and assured him that there was no problem at all in this matter! He would handle it later!
Lao Jiang looked at Xiao Han through tears, as if he didn't believe what he said. He had been thinking of ways to do this for more than ten years! Treats, gifts, relationships, everything was used, but in the end
Everyone from the Ministry of Industry and Engineering was stopped! This made Lao Jiang feel despair!
Later, until the fall of the Sui Dynasty, he happened to make a fortune in the emperor's palace, and then he thought of finding and revising his files before the new dynasty was established. But God's calculations failed. He had just arrived in Hanzhong.
People get sick!
When I woke up, there was news of the establishment of the Tang Dynasty! When the Tang Dynasty took control of Chang'an, the first thing it did was to seal up the personnel records of the world!
When Lao Jiang learned this, his whole body collapsed and he didn't even want to go home. He lived here with Yang Kailue for a year.
"Master Hou, aren't you kidding me, Lao Jiang? Can you really change my status as a craftsman to a commoner?" Lao Jiang held on to Xiao Han tightly like a drowning man grasping the last straw.
.
Xiao Han felt as if his hand was clamped by a pair of iron pliers. He endured the pain and nodded: "Don't worry! I never brag! If you say leave it to me, leave it to me! Just let go and wait for the news!"
"
In fact, this thing that took Lao Jiang countless efforts to accomplish was really nothing to Xiao Han!
As soon as the information about Lao Jiang obtained from Chang'an arrives, and Xiao Han makes a few changes, it will be done!
The Ministry of Industry owes itself a favor, let alone one craftsman, even if it requires ten or eight people, no one will make irresponsible remarks.
