Daqin: Check in at the beginning of 18 and ask Zulong to abdicate

"Get up!" Ying Zigao smiled kindly, and waved to the craftsmen!

Only then did the craftsmen stand up slowly, but they still stood there nervously with their heads down and their hands down.

"I'm here to discuss the improvement of farm tools with you."

Ying Zigao smiled slightly and said, "You are all so silent, how can I discuss it with you?"

Hearing this, the craftsmen still bowed their heads and dared not speak!
Seeing the craftsmen like this, Ying Zigao couldn't help but secretly sighed.

It seems that these artisans have been suppressed for too long.

After thinking about it for a while, Ying Zigao pointed to a middle-aged craftsman who looked old and said, "This craftsman, come out!"

Only then did the old city craftsman raise his head and take a closer look. He was sure that Ying Zigao was calling him, so he stood up tremblingly.

"Don't be nervous." Ying Zigao smiled slightly, and said softly, "I just want to chat with you casually!"

"Xiaomin pays homage to His Majesty!" The veteran craftsman hurriedly fell to his knees!
"Get up and talk." Although Ying Zigao was used to being kneeled down by others, he still felt a little uncomfortable.

"What's your name? How old are you? How many people are there?"

The veteran craftsman stood up, and Ying Zigao asked kindly.

Seeing that His Majesty chatted with him like a family, the veteran craftsman relaxed a little, and replied: "Return to Your Majesty, Xiaomin Song Gao, he is 35 this year, and there is one mother-in-law, five children, seven mouth people!"

"You're 35, so you've been doing blacksmithing for a long time, right?" Ying Zigao asked hastily.

"Returning to Your Majesty, Xiaomin has been an apprentice with his master since he was 14 years old, and he has been doing this business for more than 20 years!" Song Gao hurriedly said.

Ying Zigao said seriously: "It's been so many years. Then your craftsmanship should be very good!"

"Your Majesty, it's not Xiaomin's bragging. Forging iron tools and tools, Xiaomin's craftsmanship is also ranked first in the counties around here!"

Seeing Ying Zigao's amiable attitude and kind words, Song Gao was no longer nervous, and his words became more casual: "Even in Xianyang City, they are a little famous!"

Hearing Song Gao say this.The official in charge and several other officials couldn't help but change their expressions, and became very nervous!

I'm afraid that Ying Zigao will be angered by such unruly words!
Ying Zigao didn't care, and said with a smile on his face as before: "Song Gao, look, aunt, if you change Zhiyuanli, what will the effect be?"

"Your Majesty, how do you change it?" Song Gao hurriedly asked.

"Change the shaft of this straight plow into a curved one, and change the shape of the plowshare."

Ying Zigao said seriously and squatted on the ground.He picked up a stone and drew a sketch of Quyuanli on the ground, and said in detail: "In addition to these few components..."

Seeing that Ying Zigao looked like a farmer in the countryside, he lifted his robe and squatted on the ground, shoulder to shoulder with a craftsman.

The artisans and ministers and officials present couldn't help but be shocked!
Yuhuatian and Liu Bowen's eyes widened in surprise!
Ying Zigao didn't care, and explained the structure of Quyuanli seriously and patiently!
"Your Majesty, if this is changed, the plow will be much lighter!"

Song Gao hurriedly said: "This new plow will definitely save a lot of time and effort!"

"Okay then, let's talk about other farming tools!"

Ying Zigao saw that Song Gao was indeed a skilled and experienced farm tool craftsman, with a flexible mind and an accurate understanding of his intentions.

Can't help but nodded.

Immediately afterwards, Ying Zigao taught Song Gao the improvement plan for other farm tools.

"Your Majesty, after you improve these kinds of agricultural tools, their efficacy must be greatly improved!"

Song Gao listened attentively, and the more he listened, the more excited he became, and the eyes he looked at Ying Zigao became more and more admiring, and he couldn't help saying loudly!
"I want to tell you about some new farm tools!"

Ying Zigao smiled slightly, took the stones and drew on the ground several brand-new agricultural tools such as columbine cart, hoe, rake, and hog, and explained the uses of the new agricultural tools in detail.

"Your Majesty, you are a master at farming!"

Hearing Ying Zigao's explanation and looking at the sketches he drew, Song Gao became more and more excited, and couldn't help saying loudly: "The old farming methods for many years can't catch up with you! With so many new farm tools, the farm It must be so much better, and the harvest will be much more!"

Seeing Song Gao's eyes full of admiration, Ying Zigao smiled slightly and said, "Song Gao, you are also a veteran of farming for many years, and you are even better at farm tools! I will leave the new farm tools to you!"

Ying Zigao nodded immediately.He turned his head and ordered: "Let this Song Gao be the steward of the farm tool workshop, and be responsible for the improvement of new farm tools!"

"Your Majesty, the manager of this farm tool workshop is an official of two hundred shi!"

Yu Huatian hurried up and said in a low voice, "I'm afraid it's not appropriate to give it to a craftsman like this..."

"I, Daqin, employ people only on merit!"

Ying Zigao said without hesitation: "As long as you have talent, no matter who you are, regardless of your status or status, you must use your money according to your means!"

"Wei Chen understands!" Yu Huatian couldn't help being shocked, and hurriedly agreed!
The official in charge also hastily agreed: "My minister obeys the order!"

Hearing this, Song Gao was shocked!

He really didn't expect that a craftsman with a low status, a pariah in the eyes of the world, would be promoted to an official official by the emperor himself!
Even though he was only a small official of two hundred stones, he couldn't believe it!
"Song Gao, from now on, you are an official official of the court with a salary of 200 shi!"

While speaking, the official in charge had already sent someone to send cakes with official uniforms and seals!

Looking at the silk official uniform and letter, Song Gao couldn't help but feel hot!
The officials and craftsmen next to them couldn't help but stare!
Especially the craftsmen, I really felt the importance that the emperor and the court attached to them craftsmen!
As long as you have good craftsmanship and make contributions, you can be appointed, and you can become an official from a craftsman!

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Holding the official uniform and seal letter in his hand, Song Gao fell to his knees with a plop, and said loudly!

"Get up and work hard!"

Ying Zi said loudly: "As long as you make achievements, I will promote you well!"

The craftsmen are also very excited, wishing they could get into work immediately, find ways to invent and create, make achievements, and get rewards!
At this moment, the officer in charge of the weapons workshop drove over with some people pulling several carts!

"Your Majesty, a thousand catties of steel, and eight hundred catties of crucible steel have all been forged into weapons!"

When he came to Ying Zigao, the weapon workshop official said loudly!
