Chapter 818

When he said these words, old man Pang was very excited. He pulled the sleeve of the official who sent him to work and didn't let go.

In order to show his contempt, he didn't forget to spray his sticky saliva on each other's face, just to express his irreconcilable position with him.

This self-sustaining and elegant official has never seen such a posture. Holding the bamboo slips in his hand, it is a one-way left block and right support. He is very embarrassed.

Just when the two people's tearing reached the white hot stage, a solemn report came from outside the forging hall.

"Your Majesty the emperor has arrived!"

Hua La, hearing the loud communication, the craftsmen who had begun to work under their hands were busy and stopped their work.

Even the two or three craftsmen around Gu Zheng hurriedly pulled Gu Zheng's clothes, making him turn around from the world of composition.

"Stand fast, your majesty is coming! Don't tear my beard again!"

The clerks on one side were shocked when they heard this report. They quickly dragged old man Pang off him, cleaned his clothes and waited for the arrival of the emperor.

Unfortunately, different from the scene in which he imagined that he would take the lead in comforting his deployment official, the young emperor walked past him without squinting, as if he hadn't seen him... Ignored him.

On the contrary, he walked to the talented craftsman in Pang Lao's mouth with bright eyes. With a little proud wave, he asked the Chamberlain behind him to unfold the silk in his hand.

"The commendation order, the existing official workshop craftsman Gu Zheng, scrupulously performed his duties, carefully researched and manufactured, and invented a sharp weapon that benefits the country and the people for the great use of the country."

"I am very pleased and hereby commend you."

"Gu Zheng was granted the title of a public servant at the end of the Han Dynasty. He can enjoy a salary of 50 stones. At the same time, he will be rewarded with an acre of land, a house and a servant... Qin here."

"Master Gu Zheng, take the order to thank you!"

Huh? Wait, there's a lot of information here. Is he knighted?

After hearing this commendation order from the emperor's majesty, let alone Gu Zheng, all the disciples in the whole workshop, from the big supervisor to the primary school, were stunned on the spot.

This is the first time that this official workshop has been undertaken since the establishment of the new dynasty.

For nearly a hundred years, no craftsman has received a title from the imperial court according to formal channels.

And the newcomer who came to the official workshop for only two days... He did it.

However, the issuance of this title is of great significance to the craftsmen in the whole workshop.

This means that anyone who can contribute like Gu Zheng in this workshop will also be expected to receive the same reward.

This means that the craftsmen of the end profession in the eyes of the gentry also have the hope of getting rid of the restriction of their identity and becoming knights with their own skills.

This is not just the glory of a craftsman, but the glory of the whole craftsman class.

Do you think this award order can prevent these people who are closely related to it from being stunned on the spot?

Of course, Gu Zheng was the first one to react. After a short surprise, he immediately returned to his original calm state. He hung his hand in sackcloth short combat, and firmly accepted the surprise reward.

"Gu Zheng, the grass-roots people, takes the order to thank you. I hope my Lord will live a long and healthy life and my great man will be prosperous and strong! Your majesty! Long live, long live!"

After Gu Zheng shouted out this hearty slogan, he woke up the people around him. These strong men were excited and roared behind Gu Zheng.

"Long live my emperor!"

The roar was no worse than the order in the army.

Let Liu Che, standing in the middle of the crowd, enjoy the due treatment of the king. After brushing a wave of sense of existence with satisfaction, Shi Shi ran left.

When Gu Zheng, who was granted the title, turned around, he found that his position in the workshop was even more subtle.

At least those craftsmen who were not familiar with them could nod when they met.

However, after Gu Zheng took the title, his colleagues immediately regarded him as a special group focusing on protection.

There were several extremely honest people who stood far away, afraid they didn't dare to offend him at all.

Seeing Gu Zheng here, he could only sigh lightly. The things in the bones of these craftsmen could not be changed overnight.

The promotion of the status of craftsmen is also a heavy task and a long way to go.

However, I'm not afraid. When Gu Zheng comes, one day the craftsmen around him will be respected as they should be, and they will be sought after like the technical types of work in future generations.

Let's wait and see.

After only half a minute of joy, Gu Zheng put the award order and title book in the package and immersed himself in his own design drawings again.

Let's watch his Pang old man carefully, pinch his beard and nod again and again.

At this time, the official who issued the task standing on his left also really calmed down. He looked at the task order issued by the upper official in his hand and Pang Jianzao next to him. He gritted his teeth and outlined the monthly tasks originally assigned to Gu Zheng.

"OK, I'll make an exception for your old man Pang."

"I only hope that this gentleman named Gu Zheng will not disappoint the teacher and father."

You know, there are too many talented people in the world. Now that an invention can last a lifetime, do you expect one person to innovate continuously?

I'm kidding.

The dubious official walked to the next hall with the task document in his hand, leaving Gu Zheng as one, immersed in his own world again.

Such a quiet time is more than a month.

When the people around him came back from the joy of Gu Zheng's knighthood, they began to worry about his follow-up work.

The past three months have not been fruitful. Old man Pang's face can barely hold. The past six months have passed. Even if the imperial court has a little spare money, it doesn't make sense to raise a person for so little.

Many craftsmen murmured privately about this, because with Gu Zheng, who didn't work, the extra work was naturally apportioned to others.

If you don't suffer from scarcity and inequality, you have your own careful thinking.

When these people whispered more and more privately and old man Pang, who was dedicated to maintaining Gu Zheng, could not stop it, Liu Che, who had not seen Gu Zheng for a long time in the palace, remembered the craftsman who had personally awarded the title.

Now, because of Empress Dowager Dou's repeated illness, he has seized many opportunities to gradually take back the power of the imperial court into his own hands.

Because of their increasing power, there are more and more things to do at hand.

In the vast number of documents, thinking of Gu Zheng's personal existence, Liu Che entrusted the border defense warning handed over by the border army general once a year to ask for food, money and people towards the imperial court, so that Liu Che pulled Gu Zheng out of his busy schedule.

"Hey, Zhang Qian, how long have you said that the official office workshop hasn't handed over a fold?"

Hearing this, Zhang Qian was very relieved that he had never personally handed over any official documents in the official office workshop for many years.

There is a government work order in this department. How can those craftsmen who don't know a few big characters deliver the documents to his majesty?

Just as Zhang Qian was about to think about what to say to Liu Che, Xiao Huangmen dropped his hand and said a word. Sheng Sheng interrupted Zhang Qian's next words.

"Your Majesty, early this morning, a watch was handed over from the outside door, attached with nine volumes of bamboo carvings and eight silk drawings. It was sent up by Gu Zheng, a public servant in the workshop of the government office."

"The sealed seal letter made by the grand supervisor is attached to it. Because it involves the secrets of the imperial court, it is now sealed in the database in the side hall, waiting for your majesty to read it."
