Since the cotton bolls entered Beijing, Zhao Xu began to frequently leave the palace and inspected the specialized military weapons manufacturing bureau, Lingjinyuan and other official institutions and workshops.

At this time, Zhao Xu, accompanied by Shi Deyi, Liu Weijian, Liang Weijian and other big Diao Dang, was inspecting the work of Lingjinyuan under the escort of Yan Yuan and others.

no way!

Lingjinyuan is the ceiling of Dasong textile technology.

It is also the most developed textile workshop in the world at present.

Its history is extremely long. It was established by the weaver in Shu obtained by Taizu's destruction of Shu and moved it to Bianjing.

As early as the Kaibao period, Bianjing Lingjinyuan was already famous all over the world.

However, unlike other royal institutions.

There is no loom in the garden, and there is no weaver in sight.

All of them are officials and clerks.

This made many people who accompanied Zhao Xu here amazed, and the eyes of the inner minister in charge of the Lingjinyuan were even more fierce.

This scared the other party and trembled and quickly explained: "Everyone, the system of Lingjinyuan has been different from other departments since his ancestors..." This instructor who was in charge of Gou Lingjinyuan was only in his thirties. This was the first time he encountered such a high-level inspection team and was trembling when he spoke.

He lowered his head and introduced the system of Lingjinyuan in front of Zhao Xu with a trembling trembling.

It can be seen that he is very scared.

Therefore, he explained carefully: "In the fourth year of Taizu's opening, the Lingjinyuan was ill, and the corruption and humiliation occurred frequently. The supervisor Liang Zhouhan was ordered to follow the order (inspection, inspection) Lingjinyuan, and then reported to Emperor Taizu, asking for the grace of Taizu, and dismissed the Lingjinyuan account system, and specially ordered the weaver of Lingjinyuan to "take care of his own affairs, and each of them would like to accept the female workers'..."

"From then on, the Yajinyuan did not place looms or weavers. The Yajinyuan only sent materials and distributed them to female workers. After weaving, the Yajinyuan only cared for inspection, reconciliation, warehouse entry and other matters..."

Simply put, the weavers who brought back to Bianjing from Shu during the reign of Taizu were too ruthlessly exploited because the accounts in Lingjinyuan were oppressed and exploited too fiercely.

So, they started to strike and petition.

At that time, the Dengwen Drum Courtyard in Bianjing City allowed the people to beat drums and make trouble.

It is said that at that time, even if the people in Bianjing City lost a pig, they would ask the government to help find it back.

So this incident was spread to Taizu. After Emperor Taizu learned about this, he sent an official named Liang Zhouhan to investigate thoroughly.

After Liang Zhouhan finished the investigation, he reported to Taizu that the accounts were indeed exploiting, deducting and greedy for money from ink weavers.

At the same time, he found out that because of these guys, the quality of silk in Lingjinyuan was also declining.

Taizu was immediately furious and since then he dismissed the account system and reformed the Lingjinyuan.

He adopted Liang Zhouhan's suggestion and after the account was dismissed, he no longer set up accounts and acted as supervisors, but instead asked the weavers in Lingjinyuan to directly undertake the production tasks.

The raw materials are provided by the Yakinenyuan to the weaver. After obtaining the raw materials, the weaver goes home to produce them by himself.

The Yajinyuan calculates the order of the weavers according to the quantity, quality, and rewards of the silk cloth and silk that the weavers pay. Yes, in theory, the weavers in the Yajinyuan belong to the wing army and are part of the system, so they can also grind and upgrade and follow the official route of craftsmanship.

Very advanced, right?

This is the piece-based wage system that is very popular in many modern textile factories!

Of course, due to the limitations of the times, technology and raw material supply, the piece-based wage system of Lingjinyuan is not a completely market-oriented behavior.

The weavers are still bound by the Yajin Courtyard.

Their personal freedom is limited and they can only move in Bianjing City, and there is also a mission quota.

If it cannot be completed, there will be punishment.

In addition, the means of production they own, whether it is the loom or the raw materials, belong to the government.

So, they had to pay the money to the Ayan Jinyuan for the cost of renting the loom.

At the same time, they must use the raw materials provided by Lingjinyuan to complete the designated production tasks.

Zhao Xu could even think of it with his butt, and there must be countless illegitimate cases in it.

Punishment and exploitation are even more conceivable.

However, this is still a very advanced production method.

Zhao Xu had already asked Shi Deyi's investigation department to understand the production methods of Lingjinyuan and East-West Dyeing Institute.

So he knew that these so-called weavers in Ayajinyuan were no longer just weavers.

Their more accurate name should be the small workshop owner.

Generally, a weaver, carrying three or five female workers, using two or three looms to form a small workshop.

While completing the task of Ayajinyuan, they weave cloth and sell money.

How do you say the days?

It’s considered a middle-class family, it’s not enough to compare with the top and the bottom.

Moreover, the characters of these people are very interesting.

They are the objects of oppression and exploitation, and they are also those who oppress and exploit others.

Zhao Xu patiently listened to the instructor and introduced the system of the Lingjinyuan, and asked: "Now, how many registered weavers are in the Lingjinyuan? How many registered female workers are in the registered ones?"

The other party replied: "I'll tell you that in the sixth year of Xining, I have issued an order to cut down the weaver in the Brocade Courtyard, and 400 people are appointed as the post..."

"There is also revised to limit the number of female workers to 1,040 people..."

Zhao Xu listened and hummed twice, not believing in his nonsense! He just picked up the documents in Lingjin Courtyard and read them.

Then, Zhao Xu looked at the other party coldly: "Four hundred weavers, one thousand and forty female workers?"

"How can weave hundreds of silk cloths be weaving machines made by Taizu, and there are only four hundred looms in one day?"

The textile industry, even in modern times, is an industry with very heavy personal dependence in many backward poor countries.

In modern times, the contract workers in the textile industry were extremely miserable.

What's more, in today's era?

"Are you looking at me in your child?" Zhao Xu narrowed his eyes.

Around him, the loyal Dragons and Nasty had already widened their eyes.

Yan Yuan even pressed his hand on the scabbard.

"I deserve to die!" The inner minister immediately sweated coldly and trembled all over.

All the officials of the Lingjinyuan present knelt down with a trembling trembling.

"explain!"

"How many weavers are there in Ayajinyuan now? How many female workers?"

The inner minister trembled and kowtowed: "My...me...me...me...me...me...me...me...me...me...me...me...me...me...me...me...me...me...me...me...me...me...me...me...me...me...me...me...me...me...me...me...me...me...me...me...meaning!"

That's right!

Zhao Xu stroked his hands and waved to Yan Yuan who was following him: "Take it down!"

Then, he turned around and looked at Shi Deyi: "Shi Deyi, with my order, block the Lingjinyuan, and notify the Ministry of Revenue to send personnel to check the Lingjinyuan's account books!"

"No!" Shi De repeatedly bowed and received the order.

Suddenly, there were ghosts and wolves howling inside and outside the Lingjin Courtyard.

Countless internal officials, clerks, and officials knelt on the ground, kowtowed and begged for mercy.

But Zhao Xu is heartless!

The dragons brought by Yan Yuan immediately protected Zhao Xu in the middle, and the burly warriors wearing mountain mandarin armor even raised huge shields to protect Zhao Xu in the center of the shield.

As Shi De gave orders one by one, the imperial officials who were on standby outside Lingjin Courtyard, brought the imperial guards' personal troops into the gates, capturing all the officials, officials, and clerks present.

During the whole process, no one dared to resist, only howling and begging for mercy.

It was not until this time that Zhao Xu spoke: "Guinary noise!"

"Silence!"

So, all begging for mercy and crying disappeared completely.

It was not that they were obedient, but that the warriors of the imperial guards blocked their mouths with cloth strips.

Zhao Xu waved his hand, and Shi Deyi immediately took all the captured officials, clerks, and ministers to him.

As soon as these people arrived in front of the emperor, they crawled and kowtowed and begged for mercy.

But Zhao Xu had already been ready to kill pigs.

Under Yan Yuan's escort and under the escort of Yulongzhi, he walked forward, walked to the lobby of the Lingjinyuan, and sat down.

Then he asked someone to take all the captured officials, clerks and internal officials inside and outside the Lingjin Courtyard to the court.

"The old man said that when the water is clear, there will be no fish, and when the people are careful, there will be no disciples!" Zhao Xu sat upright on the seat in the upper head, looked down at these people, and said coldly: "I am not a mean king."

"Nah, please eat my fortune, but you are not loyal to me!"

"Even, the child looks at me!"

He raised the account book in his hand.
