The next day, the open space at the entrance of the Ministry of Industry was full of people. Li Mu moved a chair and sat on the high slope, looked at the people below, nodded to Yuwengui, and signaled that he could name the name.

Yu Wengui took the roster, started by himself, first clicked the name of the officials, and then named them in order of the order of the corvee service. Yu Wengui clicked on one who had not arrived, and Gongsun Kang recorded a name next to him. It took an hour to end the name. Gongsun Kang handed the roster that had not arrived to Li Mu and said, "Report to the lord, the official who had not arrived: Qian Zhen, the chief officer, Wang Yuan. There were 73 craftsmen who had not arrived, all followed the two chief officers..."

"I'm going to build a garden for Duke Zhao, right?"

Gongsun Kang nodded awkwardly.

Li Mu waved his hand and asked him to stand aside, stood up and faced the hundreds of craftsmen in the open space, and said, "In recent days, I have been busy with chores, and I have only been free today. I called everyone here today. First, I will get to know each other. My official, Li Mu, Marquis of Zhulu, was appointed by His Majesty as the Department of Works Department, responsible for the affairs of the Department of Works Department! There is another small matter that you should also know. Those who have not arrived today will no longer be officials of the Department of Works Department, craftsmen, or craftsmen of the Department of Works Department. They will be sent to the border town Dingxiang to help local refugees rebuild the city."

The discussion suddenly started. No one expected that this young doctor in the Ministry of Works would do such a big thing as soon as he took office. The two chiefs of the Ministry of Works were abolished and 73 craftsmen were sent to the public. This was unprecedented!

Yuwengui and Gongsun Kang were also startled. They looked at each other. Yuwengui leaned closer and whispered: "Sir, the two officials of Qian and Wang, but go to the Duke of Zhao's mansion to help, this..."

Li Mu glanced at him and said, "Are they officials of the Ministry of Works of the Tang Dynasty or the slaves of the Duke of Zhao's Mansion? As the chief of the Ministry of Works, I did not call him twice. I am so arrogant, despised my official, despised the court, and did not take my Tang Dynasty's administration seriously. What's the point? I dare to mention Duke Zhao? I dare to assert that this matter must be done by the subordinates in Duke Zhao's mansion, relying on the power of others. Duke Zhao is the humerus of the country, and the top of the Tang Dynasty. How could I do something to pretend to be for personal gain? Don't talk nonsense and insult Duke Zhao's reputation!"

Yu Wengui was choked and firmly opened his mouth, without saying a word, and bowed back to his original position. He looked at Gongsun Kang, and both of them showed helplessness. They thought Li Mu had already surrendered, but they didn't expect that he had put on a big move, but they couldn't figure out what Li Mu relied on, and dared to tease Changsun Wuji's tiger beard. Is he tired of living?

Facing the craftsmen who had not recovered from their shock, Li Mu continued: "The major events that the Japanese officials are going to announce today are closely related to them. They all say that new officials have three fires when they take office. I like to be straightforward and neat, so I don't burn them one by one. Let's just come together and everyone will listen!"

Li Mu said loudly: "The first thing is that I want to reform the Ministry of Works. I know that everyone comes here to do corvee labor. They don't have wages and are not well fed and fed. Not only do they have to bear the construction tasks of the court, but they also have to be taken out to work for nothing. From today on, the situation will be very different. I am happy to tell you that in addition to the court's corvee, you can do nothing that is not forced to do in any matters that are not court's corvee. This is my promise. I will be valid for one day of my duty!"

"The second thing is that the official must assess craftsmen. These Japanese officials have already formulated the charter and divided craftsmen into three types. One is a laborer, the other is a technician, and the third is a technician. As the name suggests, a laborer is a person who can only work hard and does not understand the skills. A technician is a person with a skill, a carpenter, a blacksmith, etc., who can be regarded as a technician. A technician can be regarded as a foreman, who is not only a technician, but also can lead workers to complete tasks."

"You may ask why such a distinction is made. Now I will tell you that because the Ministry of Works is about to carry out construction, the shanty towns where everyone lives are about to be demolished and rebuilt. This official will build craftsmen's workshops here, imitating the rules of the various workshops in the city, and specialize in living in craftsmen. According to different levels, the houses they live in are different. Ligong, four households and one hospital, technicians, two households and one hospital, and technicians have a unique courtyard. Do you understand?"

When talking about the house repair, Yu Wengui had to speak and said, "Sir, this is not something that should be said easily. It takes money to build a house. Now that the Ministry of Works is so poor, where can the money be obtained for repairing..."

Before Yu Wengui finished speaking, he saw Li Chongyi, who was behind Li Mu, picking up a bag from behind, opening it and slumping it on the ground, and there were countless strings of copper coins. Yu Wengui's mouth immediately closed. If someone had money, what else would you say?

"The third thing is that I want to lead everyone to make money!" As he said that, Li Mu took out a picture from his arms and spread it so that everyone could see clearly: "Here, Chongrenfang. The place I drew circles, and now it has been purchased by a wealthy rich in Longxi. Today, I will demolish and rebuild a new building. I took on this business and used it as a craftsman's assessment. From today on, all craftsmen are divided into three batches. One group is responsible for corvee, one group is responsible for the construction of the Ministry of Works, and another group is responsible for the work of Chongrenfang. They are rotated daily and accepted the assessment. Except for the first time you have to go to the site for the assessment, other days are voluntary, and you have to get the wages for work, and you don't have the wages for not working, which is that simple!"

Some of the craftsmen were brave and asked, "Sir, I wonder how to pay for this wage and how much does a day's work?"

"Good question!" Li Mu continued: "It is tentatively set to serve three meals, labourers are 100 ciders a day, labourers are 150 ciders a day, and labourers are 300 ciders a day! This is the basic number, and it will be added according to the situation!"

"Hundreds of civices every day!" The craftsmen broke out again. They came to Chang'an to perform labor service and had no intention of making money. If the government could give him some money when he returned, it would be a matter of burning incense. Now he actually has a salary of 100 million yuan a day. You should know that most of these people came from small places, and their consumption in their hometown is not as high as Chang'an. Some places can buy two or three dou of rice in one hundred yuan. If they make money in Chang'an and save back to their hometown, wouldn't they turn into a rich man?

Li Mu took the expressions of everyone and said, "I want to remind you that you only have money to make when contracting external projects. You are here to perform labor service and still have to do the work you should do. For example, tasks assigned by the court, building craftsmen's workshops, etc., are not paid. But don't worry, as long as the official is in office, he will definitely guarantee three meals when he is in office. Even if he pays the money himself, he will meet this minimum standard!"

There is nothing to say about this. Everyone came to perform labor service. When Li Mu didn't come, he did nothing even if he didn't have a penny. Besides, the construction of the craftsmen's workshop was also for the craftsmen to live in, so who would have any opinions?

"Okay! All things are finished. Let Gongsun Master call the name. The person who clicked the name will be evaluated today and we will set off later!"
Chapter completed!
