Datang Storyteller: Uncovering the Secret of Xuanwu Gate, Li Er was stunned

Sitting on the dragon chair, Li Shimin saw Duan Lun's bitter face, it didn't look like he was acting.

Can't help thinking.

Qin Yu's words came to mind one by one.

Craftsmen are suffering, this problem, I'm afraid they really have to find a way to solve it.

"Duan Lun, you don't have to do this. Go back and tell everyone that as long as they work hard, I won't treat them badly. From next month, everyone's salary will be doubled."

Double!
It sounds like a lot, but in fact it is not much, because the salaries of craftsmen in the Ministry of Industry are extremely low.

Even if it has doubled, it is not half as much as others.

Duan Lun looked at Li Shimin in shock, "Your Majesty's words are serious?"

Li Shimin nodded, "You are not joking, can I still lie to you?"

After receiving Li Shimin's affirmative answer, Duan Lun showed a smile on his face, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Don't worry about thanking you, your salary has increased, but if you can't produce something, I will punish you."

Li Shimin is kind and powerful.

I took the opportunity to beat it.

Duan Lun quickly responded.

Although doubling is not much, it was something he didn't dare to think about before.

If His Majesty can increase their salaries, they will be satisfied.

Compared to Duan Lun's excitement, the others seemed a little dumbfounded.

They didn't expect that Duan Lun could increase the salary of the whole department just by crying to His Majesty, calling him poor.

At this moment, some people are envious and some are jealous.

Many people objected, and many people wanted to learn from Duan Lun to see if their salaries could be increased.

All of a sudden, civil and military officials had different thoughts.

Dai Zhou was the first to react, and immediately took a step forward and said, "Your Majesty, the officials in our Ministry of Civil Affairs are also very poor, why don't you raise the price too?"

Li Shimin glared at Dai Zhou, "The Ministry of Civil Affairs is already doing well, so don't cry poor with me."

Agricultural business.

Because the status of craftsmen is not high, their salaries are not high.

Duan Lun said that they can't afford to eat, Thaksin.

As for the Ministry of Civil Affairs, in Li Shimin's view, it is completely crying poor on purpose.

Although their salaries will not be too rich, they will not be unable to afford food.

"Your Majesty, why are you so poor? We don't have much salary in the first place, and you give the people in the Ministry of Industry a salary increase, but you don't give us a raise. This is unfair in itself."

Hearing Li Shimin's words, Dai Zhou was immediately unconvinced.

They are also very poor.

Others saw that Li Shimin wanted to give them a salary increase.

Immediately I was not happy anymore.

Immediately someone stood up against it.

"Your Majesty, the Secretary of the Ministry of Civil Affairs is right. You only increase the salary of the people in the Ministry of Industry, but not us. It's not fair."

"It's His Majesty, it's not fair."

"unfair."

"My minister agrees."

Except for the minister who is close to Li Shimin, everyone else stood up to oppose it.

No one will stand by and watch others benefit without being indifferent.

"You... are really!"

Li Shimin rubbed his eyebrows with some headaches.

Li Shimin had expected this result when he decided to increase the salary of the craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry.

He really knows the ministers around him very well.

They are all people who have no profit and can't afford to be early, and they look down on craftsmen from the bottom of their hearts.

Scholars, farmers, businessmen, craftsmen, merchants, etc.

This idea affects them from the bottom of their hearts, and it is related to their own interests, how can they not care.

"Your Majesty, I am the subject of His Majesty, and His Majesty cannot treat you differently."

Hearing this sentence, Li Shimin's eyes lit up.

The reason why he raised the salary of the craftsmen first was to wait for their words.

Li Shimin glanced at all civil and military officials, and asked, "Who else agrees with his statement? Do you all think so?"

What responded to Li Shimin was silence.

Li Shimin chuckled, and said seriously, "Since you all think so, I also reflect on myself, I think you are right, you are all my subjects, and I really can't treat them differently."

When the civil and military officials heard Li Shimin's words, they immediately became excited.

The smarter people have already noticed that something is wrong, and the slower to react, they don't think there is anything wrong, and they are immersed in the joy of increasing their salary. "

"Your Majesty is wise."

After Li Shimin finished speaking, everyone complimented him one after another.

His face was full of joy, beyond words.

Your Majesty is going to increase their salaries.

That's right, they are all His Majesty's courtiers and should be treated fairly.

Otherwise, how to convince the public?

Seeing the reactions of these people, Li Shimin smiled, and then said: "I pass on my decree, starting from today, the salaries of all officials will be doubled."

"Since the fellow ministers of mine have no reason to lose anyone, the salaries of all craftsmen in the Ministry of Industry are the same as other officials."

Li Shimin calculated that they would cause trouble, so he took the opportunity to raise the salary of the craftsmen.

Li Shimin's voice fell, and all the civil and military officials felt a little bit in their hearts.

Is the salary of all craftsmen in the Ministry of Industry the same as that of other officials?
What does this mean, Your Majesty?
Does he want craftsmen to get the same salary as them?

How can this be!

Those officials who were happy because Li Shimin had raised their salaries could no longer laugh after hearing Li Shimin's words.

"Your Majesty, it is absolutely impossible. Artisans have always had a low status. How can their salaries be as much as ours?"

"That's right, Your Majesty, where does this put us?"

"Scholars, farmers, businessmen, craftsmen, how can they be on an equal footing with us?"

"..."

Li Shimin sneered when he heard their rebuttals.

"That's not what you said just now. You told me that you are all my subjects and cannot be treated differently."

"Now that I've done it fairly, why, do you still have opinions?"

There was a touch of anger on Li Shimin's face.

"I dare not wait."

Seeing that Li Shimin was angry, all civil and military officials quickly apologized.

But those who should apologize, and those who should not back down, they will never back down.

"Your Majesty, the salary of a craftsman really cannot be the same as ours."

"Why not?" Li Shimin said angrily.

"You share my worries, and the craftsmen also share my worries. I don't think it's wrong for them to get the same salary as you. Not only that, but I also think it's less."

"If it wasn't for craftsmen, how could Datang have fine salt?"

"If there are no craftsmen, how can the soldiers get weapons to go to the battlefield? How can they get armor to keep them safe?"

"If there were no craftsmen to produce agricultural tools, wouldn't the common people have to dig the ground with their hands?"

"..."

Li Shimin asked loudly.

After several reminders from Qin Yu, Li Shimin thoroughly discovered the role of craftsmen.

Science and technology are primary productive forces.

And this primary productive force is inseparable from craftsmen.

In Qin Yu's words, if you want a horse to run, you have to feed the horse.

He was just giving the craftsmen the treatment they deserved. These non-commissioned officers, as if their tails had been stepped on, started jumping up and down, which really displeased Li Shimin.
