Chapter 603: The emperor's words are like a car with you
Zhang Yue's method is truly novel and ingenious. This is the consensus of the officials.
The ancients rarely advocated such salary. For example, Zhou Yu asked Zhuge Liang to make arrows. He made a hundred thousand arrows in several days. What if he couldn't finish it in a few days?
It was not only the underdeveloped commodity economy of the ancients that they used the hourly wage system.
However, it is not without exception. In the Qingming Festival along the river, the porters of the canal boats received a counter for each bag of rice they carried. In the end, the porters were paid according to the amount of the counter after the work was done, and their wages were paid immediately.
But most of them are given based on working hours, the total amount is given to you, and I can finish it in a few days.
The difficulty with piece-rate wages is that the common people do not know how to count, and there is statistical fraud.
How does Zhang Yue prevent fraud?
The center of the two pages of a book is called the center of the page.
There is a fish tail pattern in the center of the page. Why is the fish tail painted on the center of the page? It is said that the fish tail means turning over. You can read the next page after reading this.
But it actually comes from the fact that in ancient bamboo slips, there was a triangular notch in the center of each bamboo slip to fix the braided rope.
The fish tail at the center of the page is found in every book.
Zhang Yue added something on the fish tail. On the Imperial College's engraving edition, there are usually several large characters and several small characters engraved on the top of the fish tail.
The title, volume, and page number of the book are engraved between the upper and lower fish tails.
On the next page, below the fish tail, are the names of the engraver and proofreader.
Finally, the book is printed. Based on the name of the engraver on each page of the book, we calculate the total number of engraved editions, as well as the number of large characters and small characters on the book, and then calculate the price.
At the same time, if there is a problem with any page of the book later, the proofreader and engraver will be held responsible.
In the Southern Song Dynasty in another time and space history, a large number of engravings of this type were printed. Most of the Song engravings that have survived to later generations look like this.
Because competition among bookstores was very fierce at that time, printers and engravers also adopted a piece-rate wage system quite early.
The piece rate wage system cannot be taken for granted. The most important thing is how to calculate it. There must be a dock porter who calculates the same thing. Otherwise, there is no supervision method, and the hourly wage will still be calculated.
From the piece-rate wage system to the statistical method of "calculation", officials and officials saw how Zhang Yue turned the Supervisory Carving Factory from a loss to bankruptcy into a profit all at once.
The ministers discussed in low voices.
The official felt that Zhang Yue had really gained face for him today. Zhang Yue personally took charge of Gou Taixue. If he handled things well, it showed that he had a good understanding of people. If he didn't handle things well, he would lose his face.
The official asked Wang Anshi, "What do you think, Mr. Xian?"
Wang Anshi just took out a book and looked at the fish tail in the middle of the page, and stood silently for a while.
Wang Anshi knew that the official seemed to be asking how this method was, but in fact he was asking Zhang Yue, Guan Gou, if Tai Xue Guan Gou was good!
Of course Wang Anshi remembered what he said when the official recommended Zhang Yue to take charge of Gou Taixue, he would replace him if he failed.
Faced with the official's personal inquiry, Wang Anshi put down his book and said: "This piece-based payment is indeed a good law. I have always disagreed with the saying that there is no way to govern people. As long as there is a law to govern, there is no need to worry about not being able to govern people. As long as there is a law to govern,
Why worry about unscrupulous craftsmen?"
Sima Guang said that there is no way to cure people, but there is no way to cure them.
Sima Guang didn't say anything, but Chen Xiangze, who served as the censor's official secretary, said: "This method is good, and it cannot be thought of without rules and regulations. It can be seen that managing people comes first before governing the law. I hope everyone in the imperial court can learn from it!"
As a teacher, Chen Xiang also took the initiative to help Zhang Yue get ahead.
The official nodded slightly, feeling that Zhang Yue's method could be implemented.
On the side, Lu Huiqing couldn't calm down. Is there any way to treat people but not others?
Where is Zhang Yue from? He is from Jianzhou, and the bookstore in Jianyang is the best in the world. He knows these strange skills and has some good methods to cure them, but everyone is ignorant.
Lu Huiqing cursed, her expression even worse.
"Jifu, look..." An official came to talk to Lu Huiqing.
Lu Huiqing forced herself to calm down and talked to the other party patiently.
The official left the book engraving workshop. Although he stayed here for half an hour, he felt that his trip was worthwhile. The small engraving workshop allowed him to see many things that he could not see in the memorials and the ministers' memorials.
.
At this moment, everyone knew that Zhang Maoze was planning to ask the officials if he could drive back to the palace.
Unexpectedly, the officials were not enjoying themselves and asked Zhang Yue, "What do the students do at this time on weekdays?"
Zhang Yue reported: "Your Majesty, I am usually having lunch at this moment. I will take a short break and then I will be a lunch guest."
The official said displeasedly: "Since it's meal time, how can I let them wait for me? These will be the pillars of the imperial court in the future, how can they be hungry?"
Zhang Yue said yes.
Zhang Maoze said: "Your Majesty is considerate of the imperial students, which is really a blessing to the imperial students, but your majesty also needs to take care of the dragon body. Now it is time to return to the palace to have a meal."
The official said willfully: "I'm not hungry yet! I just want to see what kind of food the imperial students eat on a daily basis and see how the imperial court supports its scholars?"
After saying that, the officials got into the carriage and headed to the Taixue canteen.
Zhang Mao stood there with a depressed look on his face. Zhang Yue gave him a smile when he passed by.
When the officials arrived at the Taixue cafeteria, they smelled a pleasant aroma coming from inside.
The officials had spent the whole morning shopping with the emperor, and now they felt hungry when they smelled the aroma.
The official asked Zhang Yue: "What does Taixue eat for lunch?"
Zhang Yue replied: "Today it should be steamed buns!"
The official nodded and said, "Very good."
When they arrived at the canteen, Zhang Yue hurriedly ordered the chef to bring out a basket of freshly steamed buns.
In the Song Dynasty, steamed buns were steamed buns, while steamed buns were called cooking cakes.
The official took a steamed bun that was still a little hot from the basket, put it in his mouth and chewed a few mouthfuls, then told the ministers that they were welcome and took a steamed bun for himself.
All the ministers thanked the emperor in unison for the reward.
Zhang Yue thought that the emperor would treat his guests with steamed buns. It was true!
Zhang Yue was responsible for distributing steamed buns to the ministers one in each hand, and everyone had one in their hands.
So dozens of ministers picked up the steamed buns and chewed them in their mouths. Maybe they had been hungry for a long time, but they all ate with relish.
Lu Huiqing took a critical look, then held the steamed bun in his hand and weighed it, feeling that it was still heavy. Lu Huiqing thought to herself, is it like this every day, or just today? I'm afraid it's just today.
Lu Huiqing split the steamed bun in half, only to see that there was still meat filling with soup and oil in the middle of the bun.
Looking at this greedy meat filling, Lu Huiqing couldn't help but take a bite.
It smells so good that it actually brings out the cravings.
Censor Xie Jingwen's sister, the miscellaneous person, is the wife of Wang Anshi's younger brother Wang Anli. Therefore, Xie Jingwen is also a direct descendant of Wang Anshi. But he took a steamed bun and asked the cook aside: "How many days do you eat the steamed buns from Taixue? Every meal has this
ish?"
The cook said: "Although I can't say that I eat it for every meal, I eat it once a day."
Lu Huiqing was a little in disbelief, and Xie Jingwen also lost his voice and asked: "How serious is it? Two thousand students from the imperial college eat these steamed buns with meat fillings?"
The cook said: "Seriously, seriously. If students in the lower house pay three hundred cash per month, they can eat with those in the upper and middle houses. Two steamed buns a day!"
Lu Huiqing's face was gloomy. The imperial student only had three hundred cents per month for food, but he could eat steamed buns stuffed with meat every day.
Lu Huiqing initially thought that Zhang Yue would use the income from the book engraving workshop to subsidize him, but seeing what he did, he actually spent all of it on the students.
Such incorruptibility made him, Lu Huiqing, feel ashamed.
Zhang Yue was afraid that the emperor would choke, so he hurriedly ordered someone to get a bowl of rice milk.
The official ate a third of the steamed buns in one go, then turned to the ministers who were eating the steamed buns and asked, "What do you think, sir?"
The ministers nodded and said that it was delicious, and I could eat three more, five, seven, ten more, etc.
It would be better if Taixue could also contract the meals for each yamen.
At this moment, the official put half a piece of steamed bun into the basket and said to Zhang Yue in a joking tone: "It seems that Zhang Qing is really good at managing the kitchen. I heard about it when you were in charge of the office."
It is said that a gentleman is far away from the kitchen, and the officials joked about this sentence, which also made the ministers happy. The officials always speak in a measured manner, and other ministers will not say this easily to avoid making them angry.
But Zhang Yue was a close minister to him, so he didn't worry much about what he said.
It's no joke that Zhang Yue is good at managing the kitchen. When Han Qi and Ouyang Xiu went to the Jiaoyin Supervisor as prime ministers, they also praised Zhang Yue after eating a meal at the Jiaoyin Supervisor.
Seeing what the official said, Zhang Yue said: "Reporting to your Majesty, I have nothing good in my life except my appetite. Therefore, I always want to make the canteen better wherever I go."
"Food is the first priority for the people. If the people are well fed, the world will be more stable. If the officials are well fed, they will work harder for the court. If the students are well fed, they will be able to serve His Majesty more in the future."
The officials were very happy after hearing Zhang Yue's words.
Then the official said happily to the officials on the left and right: "The country uses this to support its scholars, and it is worthy of it!"
Zhang Yue and other academic officials were suddenly moved for some reason after hearing the emperor's words.
The official inspected the dining room, the lecture hall, and the shooting garden, and stopped at every place. The official solved many difficult problems with just a few words.
For example, there was a row of "red light districts" across Taixue South Street. Zhang Yuezao deliberately demolished this area and rebuilt it into a "student street".
This is also the economic thinking of today’s college students.
But they just won’t move, what can I do?
Forced demolition? Have you ever seen hundreds of prostitutes blocking the door?
With a word from the official, Han Wei, the accompanying magistrate of Kaifeng Prefecture, immediately agreed to start the matter tomorrow.
At the same time, Zhang Yue also planned to set aside a piece of land for Taipei students in the martial arts discipline to practice their formations and formations, making it look like a military academy.
This requires the Supervisor to be equipped with weapons and armor, which is not difficult. The difficulty lies in not doing it well, and it becomes a secret training of troops and evil intentions.
But when Zhang Yue told him in person, the officials were in a good mood and decided to do it immediately.
This is what the emperor says to you.
After inspecting the school, the officials finally got into their cars and drove away from Taixue.
Before leaving, the officials announced that they would allocate 10,000 yuan from the internal treasury to reward the teachers and students of Taixue.
After hearing this news, the teachers and students of Taixue all shed tears of gratitude as they looked at the dust rising as the official car drove away!
