Tang Dynasty Royal Tianfu Silk welcomes great craftsmen.
These two things coincidentally collided together. It can be said that Shopkeeper Lu’s heart is hanging. No one dares to figure out the thoughts of His Highness King Qin. Since he doesn’t dare to figure it out, it is better to return to his true nature and do what he should do.
things.
Shopkeeper Lu's heart gradually calmed down.
This old carpenter can be said to be crucial to his silk workshop.
There were as many second-class craftsmen as there were in the Tang Dynasty, and as many third-class craftsmen as there were. Even Qin Wangzhuang, which produced many astonishing things, only had six third-class craftsmen. Today, a third-class craftsman is about to enter the country.
Silk House, what could be more important than this?
Li Yuanxing also heard the ins and outs of today's incident from the onlookers' mouths.
Shopkeeper Lu spent three days preparing. Not only was there a small courtyard for the master craftsman to live in, but all the furniture was also newly arranged. Four servants and two maids were also arranged.
Finally, the auspicious day and time arrived, and naturally it was time to welcome this great craftsman.
Two shopkeepers wearing uniforms bearing the title of shopkeeper personally supported the sedan chair.
The old carpenter was so nervous that he didn't even know where to put his hands. He had been suspecting that he was dreaming for the past few days. Many old guys, colleagues, and even the master from the county came over to congratulate him. Even when he was in place, he still felt like this
Everything was so unreal. He didn't dare to wear the new clothes he had prepared, but he didn't dare to delay when the time was right, so he came here in only rags.
His two sons were also a little confused and felt as if they were in a dream.
Among the several grandsons, he was quite clever and had seen a little bit of the world. But he was also a little confused when he first arrived in the workshop area, and he was completely confused by the formation that greeted him.
The two shopkeepers waited for a long time, but the old carpenter didn't react at all, as if he was stupid, so they had to pull the old carpenter out of the sedan.
At this time, Li Yuanxing walked over, gave the old carpenter a hand as an ordinary person, and said at the same time: "Does the old man know what a third-class master craftsman is?"
The two shopkeepers who were preparing to welcome him were also stunned. His Highness King Qin came in person. They didn't know what to do, so they had to stand there blankly. The old carpenter shook his head vigorously: "I don't know!"
"Then does this old man know your Majesty?"
"I know! That's the emperor, that's the god of a certain person, the saint that a certain family worships every day. The saint has blessed us with enough food to eat in the past few months. The grandson also said that he has a daughter-in-law, and the family also has some money!" The old carpenter saw.
Li Yuanxing was friendly and answered.
The eyes of everyone around were widened, what was going on?
His Royal Highness King Qin of the Tang Dynasty stood beside the sedan chair, while an old man was still sitting on the sedan chair.
Li Yuanxing smiled and continued: "Jiang is an opportunity given by the Holy Spirit to talented people. Anyone who has the ability will definitely contribute to the Tang Dynasty!"
The old carpenter got off the sedan and knelt down in the direction of Chang'an City: "If Your Majesty needs to do anything, I, the old man, will do it for Your Majesty even if I don't eat or drink."
Obviously, the old carpenter didn't understand what Li Yuanxing meant. Li Yuanxing stretched out his hand to help the old carpenter: "Have you ever seen the new county magistrate parade on the street after taking office?" The old carpenter felt more and more friendly to the annual ring people in front of him, and when he heard these words, he tried hard
Li Yuanxing nodded. Li Yuanxing continued: "The county magistrate is a talented person. He can govern a county for the Lord. The first-class master craftsmen are also talented. The same is true for the second-class craftsmen. They can serve the emperor."
Tang has done many good things. And you, as a third-class master craftsman, are only one step away from a second-class craftsman. Therefore, if you work harder and go one step further and become a second-class craftsman, you can also go out on the street.
Do you understand?"
The old carpenter knelt down again, kowtowed to the city of Chang'an, and shouted for the kindness of the Holy One.
Li Yuanxing had no choice but to help the old carpenter up again: "Remember, your status is already a third-class master craftsman. This is the status given to you by the Holy Spirit. When the county master sees you, he will also pay you respects."
"I still don't understand. You are a good person. Please teach me!" The old carpenter held Li Yuanxing's hand tightly.
"Okay, then just listen to me." Li Yuanxing smiled slightly and nodded to Shopkeeper Lu: "This shopkeeper can prepare clothes worthy of the status of a third-class master craftsman."
"Yes, yes!" Shopkeeper Lu responded repeatedly, and then someone immediately ran to get it, bringing with them a curtain.
The old carpenter's two sons were called over to help the old carpenter change his clothes.
There are two types of clothes for third-class master craftsmen. One is for daily wear and can be made of silk. The other is for work, with linen as the base and key parts sewn with sheepskin. It is considered an extreme form of clothing.
High-end work clothes. And they are specially allowed to have the word "Master Craftsman" engraved on a bronze plate and embroidered on the chest.
Clothes prepared from Bashu's Royal Tianfu silk naturally have the word "Royal Tianfu" printed on the front. There are two big characters on the back, "Shangjiang". This is the highest-level title for craftsmen in the workshop.
The old carpenter changed his clothes, and the specialized barber quickly arranged his hair and put on the crown.
This crown also has the word "craftsman" printed on it.
Li Yuanxing helped the old carpenter: "Old man, the next moment is your time to honor your ancestors, so naturally you should be happy. If you are happy, your ancestors will be happy. And the Holy One will also be happy!"
The old carpenter will understand this sentence, especially when he hears the four words "Guangzong Yaozu", he bursts into tears.
Li Yuanxing watched the old carpenter step forward and followed him with a smile. The old carpenter had strong steps and was smiling and crying.
The etiquette used in the workshop is a bit confusing. According to Du Yiye, it feels like the ancient etiquette for seeking talents. However, the second half is obviously the etiquette used by various shops to worship the shopkeeper, but it has been modified a lot.
There were four people behind Shopkeeper Lu, holding four trays.
The first tray was something similar to a letter of appointment from later generations, and he also specially invited several people with identities to authenticate it on the spot.
The second tray was a whip. Shopkeeper Lu handed the whip to the old carpenter in a flash: "If any craftsman in the workshop disobeys your command, use this whip to beat him."
You always have the final say on how a craftsman’s work is done!”
When Li Yuanxing saw this scene, he shook his head slightly.
This scene of shaking his head made Shopkeeper Lu feel a twitch in his heart. When he was picking up the third item, he almost dropped it on the ground. His Highness King Qin shook his head. What does this mean? Did he do anything wrong?
Take a deep breath and calm down. Shopkeeper Lu can be considered a person who has seen the world.
In the third tray is a key. This key cannot open any lock. This is just a symbol. It is the owner who has handed over the house to you. This is the etiquette used when asking the shopkeeper.
The last tray contains some practical ones, made of fine copper, and a complete set of good carpenter's tools.
The last item is to place an elephant table and place the memorial tablet of Master Lu Ban for worship.
The old carpenter was very pious, and he was chanting silently, as if he was still saying that he must donate some incense money to Master Luban's temple, and he must burn incense sticks to thank Master Luban.
After the ceremony, the next step is to make arrangements for work.
The old carpenter was taken to see his new home, and Li Yuanxing followed him out of curiosity.
About ten miles north of Gongfang District, there is an area that is a residential area. This was Li Yuanxing's original plan. It can be said that the design here is far ahead of this era. It is more like a family area in the 1970s.
Rows of bungalow buildings.
Each row is half a mile long and has the gates of twenty-five households. Then in the courtyard, there are two side rooms facing each other, and then there is the main house. The side rooms are built higher, with a half-story added to resemble an attic, and are only about two meters high.
Half a floor. As for how to use it, each family will naturally have its own arrangements.
This is the so-called three-to-eight courtyard.
Ten meters wide is the Tang Dynasty's three feet. Then it is more than sixteen meters long, which is the Tang Dynasty's five feet.
For the side rooms on both sides, one is open. When the door is pushed open, it is the middle room, and then there is a room on both sides. The two side rooms are four rooms. Then the main room has a hall. There is a large bay on the left and a room on the right.
There are two huts. Including the living room, it counts as four rooms. So together, it is a compound with three rooms and eight rooms.
Two-open, single-open middle courtyards and small courtyards, each row will be more. Single-open, there is no courtyard inside the door, only two and a half rooms, exactly the same as the old modern family courtyards of later generations. Two-open,
But after entering the courtyard, one side is facing the other, but the side room is far less big than the three-part side room.
In this area, there is a public toilet in every row, and a district in every twelve rows. Each district is set up with a steward, which is similar to the nature of a neighborhood committee. In Datang terms, it is equivalent to a regular meeting. Because each district
, there are at least 300 households, and if they are all huts, there will be a thousand households in one district.
Then, before every four districts, there will be an additional small shop area, where there are various grocery stores, snack bars, etc. There will naturally be no shortage of rice, grains and oil.
Every sixteen districts, there will be a pharmacy and a primary school. Now here, there is also a large school.
This residential area has been purchased by various businesses. Under the unified planning, ninety-six areas have been built, and 30 to 40% of the actual occupancy rates are there. There is also a shop in this workshop residential area that Datang did not have before.
That is the bathhouse, and the investor is naturally an old wolf. There are eight bathhouses built in total, all built along the river.
The old carpenter was allocated his yard, with three rooms and eight rooms, which was enough for the old carpenter.
Moreover, his two sons and a grandson also passed the examination. One son actually got the fifth-class craftsman certificate, and the other son was the sixth-class craftsman. The other grandson also got the eighth-class craftsman certificate.
All these combined allowed the old carpenter to get two adjacent sets of three-to-eight small courtyards. Of course, Shopkeeper Lu also gave some extra space to give the old carpenter some extra benefits. After all, this is his workshop.
The first third-class master craftsman.
When he saw the three servants, the old carpenter was so nervous that he didn't know what to say.
When he saw the four maids bought by Shopkeeper Lu, the old carpenter said something that made the whole audience laugh. The old carpenter was sincerely grateful to Shopkeeper Lu for arranging even the granddaughter-in-law for him, but he didn’t know who these four were.
The girl from that family wants to come to propose marriage.
For the original lowest-level craftsmen of the Tang Dynasty, slaves were far out of reach. Many of them had never really come into contact with them in their lives, or even if they had come into contact with them, they would not know that the other person was a slave. (To be continued.
