"Yes, the border is indeed open."

"well!"

The opening of the border also means that the imperial court has received the letter of credence, and it also shows that the imperial court has recognized the actions of their mission.Wu Zhizhong was a little overjoyed.

There is no need to continue to close borders.

At this time, the Ministry of War, the Privy Council, the Ministry of Households, Workshop City, the Supervision Office, and the Shiyi Office formed a large-scale inspection team and were on Hebei Road.

Not only is it evaluating the start-up of Hebei Dao workshops, but it is also supervising the capture of fugitive craftsmen in the prefectures and counties of Hebei.Of course, the imperial court is not just about supervision. At the same time, there are experts from the criminal department and the criminal department yamen to support each state.

Even the Privy Council mobilized generals who were good at tracking from the army and arrived in Hebei.

In just three to five days, nearly [-]% of the escaped craftsmen were recovered.According to the assertion of the workshop city, even if all those who fled return to Beiliao, it will not have any impact.

How should I say this.This time, the so-called escape of craftsmen involved a lot of weird things.Not only the fugitives from the Northern Liao Dynasty fled, but even people with national household registration... This is also the reason why the workshops and cities in Hebei Road are facing the enemy.

There are tens of millions of people of all colors in this world, and all kinds of stories have been staged.After all, the reason is nothing more than the interests of the workshop owners and employees.

The employment relationship occurred very early, and according to historical records, it has appeared individually in the late Spring and Autumn Period.Zhao Xi seems to be relatively advanced in Guochao's employment relationship. Most of them are in the form of contractual employment, that is, there is a certain degree of equality in the employment relationship.

Of course, it is impossible to emphasize equality in this era, and there is no such environment.

Therefore, Zhao Xi did not make any additions or restrictions on the employment relationship in order to promote the development of the industry in the country, and he was completely free to develop.

The first thing Zhao Xi considers is development, that is, to promote industrial development throughout the country, so as to inspire folk wisdom, and promote the development of craftsmanship or technology through the workshop industry.

This is Zhao Xi's original purpose, an idea based on Guochao's regular employment relationship.

But after the development of the real industry in the country, things are different.

Although the relationship between employers and employees is not completely antagonistic, each has its own needs in terms of demands.The employer, that is, the owner of the workshop, pursues interests, while the employee's appeal is treatment.At this point, the two sides have a conflict.

The large-scale expansion of the industry has led to fierce competition for similar products in the country, so that those workshops that cannot improve their craftsmanship have to squeeze out hired labor to obtain more benefits.

The Song Dynasty was actually not an era of hard work. Laziness and pleasure seemed to occupy the mainstream. From court princes to traffickers and pawns, there was a kind of leisurely pursuit.

In such a general environment, conflicts between employers and employees are inevitable.

Looking at the report of the multi-department supervision and inspection of the escape of the craftsmen in Hebei Province, Zhao Xi also got hairy.

The fugitives in the Northern Liao Dynasty were easy to deal with, nothing more than extending the time of slavery, or continuing the status of those fugitives as slaves.It doesn't matter, everyone agrees, even Zhao Xi accepts it.

But what about the people of Song Dynasty?How to deal with it?Although in essence, the escape caused tension in Hebei Province and even the entire country, and even involved the relationship with Beiliao.

Originally, these employees were only expressing their demands in the most primitive way... The idea was to take an opportunity, but they stepped on the wrong point.

"Satisfaction and warmth create greed!"

Zhang Dun's assertion is right and wrong.See from which angle to read it.

From the standpoint of the owner of the workshop, the workshop provided employment opportunities for the common people, and had other incomes other than the land, which improved the lives of those hired workers.Judging from this point of view, it is true that these hired workers do not know what is good or bad.

From the point of view of an employee, after the first problem of food and clothing and improvement of life were solved, he felt that his labor was heavy, so he had other ideas.

Zhao Xi's position should be the most tangled.

In terms of class, Zhao Xi should also stand from the perspective of herdsmen, but in terms of responsibilities, the king is the only role in this era that considers the people.

The three outlooks formed by later generations also prevented Zhao Xi from fully considering issues from the perspective of the scholar-bureaucrat class, but rationally told Zhao Xi that he could not leave the scholar-bureaucrat class aside... this is reality.

"From the facts, the workshops in Hebei Road are indeed a little too much..."

Wang Anshi is an official who has never lost his heart.

"I'm afraid this kind of incident is not limited to Hebei Province. Is there such a situation in other state capitals of the Guo Dynasty? It is nothing more than the fact that Hebei Province is bordered by Beiliao, and there is another incident of craftsmen fleeing. The craftsmen were bewitched and exposed. That's all."

Lu Huiqing has a judgment in this regard.From the situation of bartering in various state capitals here in Shiyi, he can roughly tell whether he has innovated the craftsmanship or continued the craftsmanship he originally bought from the workshop city.

Different workshops, different scales, different shipments and transaction volumes can make a rough judgment.

For the same product, when the number of employees and scale are not much different, the amount of shipments can explain the contribution of the workshop to innovation.

Chapter 874 Census

This is not a pure discussion, but more like a chat, a conclusive court discussion on the escape of craftsmen in Hebei Province.

Zhao Xi, as well as the entire cabinet, have this idea... After discovering that the fugitives were mixed with craftsmen registered in the Song Dynasty, although they considered the reason for being bewitched, they also considered whether it was the entire Guochao Workshop common problems.

The imperial court needs to plan ahead and prevent problems before they happen. After all, the tax revenue of the imperial court is increasing year by year, and workshops account for a lot of weight, which should not be underestimated.

"Officials, if it's true what Elder Lu Ge said, perhaps the imperial court should really pay attention to it. This time there are craftsmen fleeing from Hebei Road, how can we be sure that there will be no such incidents in other state capitals?"

"This time in the Hebei Dao incident, the owners of Hebei Dao's workshops lost no less than [-] yuan, and the tax revenue of the court was also deeply affected..."

Zhao Xi knew very well that this kind of thing would always happen, but he didn't expect it to happen so soon.

In this era it is called the employment relationship, and in later generations it is the so-called labor-capital relationship, also known as the labor relationship.This is a huge subject. Even in the era when the social order of the later generations is quite standardized, there are still disputes, and they still belong to the kind of contradictions that can never be reconciled.

Besides, Zhao Xi is really not proficient in this stuff. It doesn't mean that he doesn't know the theory or the principle, but that the metaphysical theory doesn't fit the current reality.

Zhao Xi will not take it for granted to adjust the current labor-capital relations according to the three views of later generations, that is even more unrealistic.

Regardless of the social form of the pyramid or the ellipse of the rich and the poor, they are all abstract.In Zhao Xi's view, what is suitable is the best.

In the era of the Song Dynasty, the social structure should conform to the reality of the current society.

Controlling people and controlling people, social class, etc., are all determined by the social ecology at that time.

Today's social structure is suitable for the minority herding the majority, or in other words, the minority herding the majority. Trying to change this structure can only result in destruction, destroying the originally stable social state, but it is difficult to establish a new social structure.

Zhao Xi knows very well what is the basis of ruling in this era.What Wen Yanbo said about co-ruling the world with the scholar-bureaucrats is actually correct.In today's era, the foundation of the king's ruling dynasty is indeed the aristocratic class, specifically the scholar-bureaucrat class.

Historically, kings who intend to change this structure, or intentionally break away from this class or even betray this class, will end up not only ruining their reputation, but also ruining the country and destroying the country and the people.

Wang Mang had done this before, and the new dynasty was only a flash in the pan; Yang Guang betrayed his class and handed over the foundation of the Sui Dynasty.

Not to mention that Empress Wu created a new era, it was nothing more than replacing it with another class, and that class also constituted the ruling class of the current state.

Although Zhao Xi also knows that it is difficult to change, but his three views are solid, and he cannot remain indifferent in the face of such a situation... After all, he has more influence on future generations, and the education of future generations is also deeply rooted.

There is no way to make large-scale changes, and it is always possible to make small adjustments.Fortunately, the country has a Wang Anshi who truly lives for the people.

"My elders, although the Hebei Dao craftsman incident should not be taken lightly, there is no need to make a big deal out of it. I believe that the courtiers and squires are still sympathetic to hired workers, and they also have the sentiment of making a living for the people. They will not be sorry for the teachings of the saints."

Wang Anshi seemed to want to refute, but Zhao Xi pressed his hand.These words must be said, first speak out your own expectations, put on your hat, and then there is room for other operations.

A sage, a scholar-official mission, this is fundamental.
