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

Your Majesty, scholars, farmers, businessmen, and craftsmen have had a relatively low status since ancient times. Now you let them have the same salary as ours. Does this embarrass all those who have become officials? "

"Your Majesty, I seconded the proposal, artisans cannot be paid the same salary as us, otherwise, what face will we have?"

"My minister agrees!"

"The minister waits for a second opinion."

Above the court, there were voices of opposition.

Li Shimin smiled instead of anger.

"Okay, if you don't want to be paid the same salary as craftsmen, then you will be [-]% lower than them."

Seeing how the civil servants jumped out, Li Shimin spoke directly.

In fact, in the entire court, these civil servants were the ones who opposed the most. They just entered the official career, as long as they were knowledgeable, they didn't even care about their ability.

It is usually the happiest shouting in the court.

Once you really encounter something, you will be in a hurry and lose your mind.

With a higher salary than others, he didn't do much.

Especially after Qin Yu mentioned it, Li Shimin also saw the true value of craftsmen.

Therefore, it is imperative to increase the salary.

"Think twice, Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty, this is not fair."

"..."

When they heard that their salaries were going to be reduced by [-]%, the civil servants panicked.

I also understand in my heart that His Majesty is determined to increase the salary of the craftsmen.

Why?

Manchu civil and military.

To say that the happiest person must be Duan Lun, the minister of the Ministry of Industry and an official of the Ministry of Industry.

They never imagined that one day they would be treated like this.

His Majesty can give them an increase in salary, no matter how much it is, it is an encouragement to them.

Li Shimin glanced at the civil servants, and then said: "Now I give you three choices. One, the salaries of all craftsmen in the Ministry of Industry will be doubled, and those in other departments will not be left unchanged. Second, everyone will be doubled. The salary is the same as that of other officials. Third, the salary of other officials will be reduced by [-]%. You can decide for yourself what to do."

Li Shimin had already made a decision, so naturally he would not change his mind, and only gave them three choices.

One of these three options comes out.

Civil and military officials also know that His Majesty is serious, even if they disagree, there is nothing they can do.

Whether it is the first choice or the third choice, it seems that they are at a disadvantage.

On the surface, there is no disadvantage for the second choice, but in fact, once they choose the second choice, it means that from now on, the status of craftsmen will be the same as theirs.

The ranking of scholars, farmers, businessmen and commerce was completely broken.

For a while, everyone fell silent.

No matter which choice they choose, it is not good for them, but they have to choose.

Li Shimin looked down at all the civil and military officials, and then said.

"Did all your loves choose?"

No one dared to speak out at this moment.

Because once you open your mouth, it represents everyone's choice.

Once you choose, there are too many things to bear.

They can't afford it.

"What, dumb?"

"Since you don't choose, then I will choose for you. From now on, artisans will be paid the same as other officials."

"They are all my subjects, so I naturally have to treat them fairly."

"If you have nothing to do, go back."

After Li Shimin finished speaking, he got up and left the hall.

Civil and military officials looked at each other in blank dismay.

"This... why did His Majesty suddenly make such a decision?"

"Yes, Your Majesty wants to pay attention to craftsmen."

"Hey……"

The officials shook their heads and left with a sigh.

The officials from the Ministry of Industry approached Duan Lun and asked, "My lord, what should we do next?"

"What else can we do? Be good. His Majesty has begun to value us. We have to prove our value to His Majesty. As long as we are valuable, we will not be afraid of any attack."

Duan Lun understood that the reason why His Majesty would increase their salaries was because he saw their value.

In this case, they have to perform well and create more things that benefit the country and the people.

Only in this way, their status will be higher and higher.

Now they get the same salary as other officials, which also means that in His Majesty's mind, they have the same status as the gentry.

His Majesty's move undoubtedly elevated the status of craftsmen.

"Spread today's events, and make folk artisans happy."

Your Majesty has raised the salaries of craftsmen in the Ministry of Industry, and folk craftsmen will also be affected, and their wages will also increase.

Thinking of this, Duan Lun couldn't help laughing.

After Li Shimin retired from the court, he changed into plain clothes and went to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

In the prison of the Ministry of punishment.

As soon as Qin Yu woke up, people began to come one after another.

As before, it is to occupy the position.

People scrambled for fear of being too late and not being able to find a good seat.

"Please let it go."

Just after everyone was seated, a girl in a light green dress, holding a jade flute, and a white veil came in.

I don't know if everyone was shocked by the girl's figure, or was shocked by her aura, they subconsciously took two steps back.

A road wide for one person immediately appeared in front of the woman in green.

The woman nodded slightly in thanks, and then walked straight to Qin Yu.

"Owner!"

Qin Yu was taken aback for a moment, then glanced at the listeners outside, and asked in a low voice, "Are you Shi Qingxuan?"

"Yes Master!"

"Well, you get up first."

After confirming Shi Qingxuan's identity, Qin Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

Tell Shi Qingxuan to stand up. As for her face under the hood, although Qin Yu is curious, he doesn't ask her to remove the hood.

After all, the time and place were wrong, and with so many people watching here, it was inappropriate for Shi Qingxuan to lift the veil.

Besides, Qin Yu also saw everyone's curiosity.

The more this happened, the more he didn't want them to see it.

Let's hang it up first.

More and more people came to the prison of the Criminal Ministry one after another.

They were also more and more curious about Shi Qingxuan, who was standing next to Qin Yu and wearing a veiled hat.

"Mr. Qin, who is this next to you?"

"Oh, she is a new subordinate of mine."

Qin Yu smiled and explained lightly.

But obviously, everyone was not very satisfied with Qin Yu's answer.

From the appearance alone, this girl is a beauty.

Moreover, Qin Yu's answer was too simple, which made them feel that Qin Yu was deliberately hiding something.

As soon as Li Lizhi came to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, she saw the people following Qin Yu. At this time, Shi Qingxuan was preparing Qin Yu's face wash.

Seeing this scene, Li Lizhi subconsciously felt uncomfortable.

She walked directly into the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, reaching out to take the washcloth in Shi Qingxuan's hand, "Thank you, girl, let me do this kind of thing."

Unexpectedly, Shi Qingxuan dodged to avoid Li Lizhi, and directly handed the washcloth to Qin Yu.

The expression on Li Lizhi's face was a little stiff, she never expected that Shi Qingxuan would avoid her.

As a result, she couldn't help but feel alarm bells ringing in her heart, and her sense of crisis became more and more serious.
