Chapter 166, Ten Thousand Carpenters
Tianjin Shipyard.
The site of the shipyard is close to the sea, close to the port of Tianjin, covering an extremely wide area, and all the surrounding large areas of land were bought by Liu Jin.
Not only for the construction of the shipyard, but also for the future to be used to build a school dedicated to the construction of seagoing ships, and a large family area to house the shipyard employees.
Because Liu Jin attaches great importance to the shipyard and has invested a large amount of silver, although the shipyard has not been started for a long time, it has been quite large-scale with a large number of people and a large amount of silver.
Among them, a large number of houses have been built in the family area, some of which are first-entry houses, some are second-entry houses, and some are three-entry yards covering a relatively wide area.
Liu Jin knows that this shipbuilding is a very technical thing, even if he has technology, but this technology still needs people to learn and do, which means that the shipyard needs a large number of talents, shipbuilding talents.
Only on the basis of having a large number of talents can we build qualified ships, build ships on a large scale, and bring forth the technology of shipbuilding to innovate and continuously upgrade.
In this regard, Liu Jin is ready to learn from the science and technology enterprises of later generations, not only to give high wages to talents, but also to find a way to solve his housing problem, children's reading civilization, and even for single bachelors, but also to find a way to solve his lifelong events.
Only in this way can we really retain talents, and let everyone know the value of talents, so that some people are willing to settle down to specialize in this shipbuilding technology, and gradually improve the level of shipbuilding.
The current Tianjin shipyard, although there is a lot of silver, but because the Ming Dynasty has forbidden the sea for a long time, this shipbuilding talent is extremely scarce, it is difficult to find shipbuilding talents, so Liu Jin is also buying bones with a thousand dollars, and at the same time as Xishan Coal Industry, he cultivates shipbuilding talents.
When recruiting workers, a variety of talents have been distinguished, and people with carpentry, blacksmith, mason and other crafts are treated differently, especially in shipbuilding, where a large number of carpenters have gathered.
Since there are no shipbuilders, they will first use carpenters to carry them, and then combine them with their own training, and slowly turn these carpenters into qualified shipbuilding technicians.
On the shipyard side, the first batch of houses built were first allocated to the stewards and carpenters in the shipyard, in order to show that Liu Jin attaches great importance to talents.
The shipyard staff area here, rows of brand-new houses are arranged neatly, these houses are uniformly planned and constructed, the door of every house has a wide road paved with sand and gravel, and the façade is also built very large, full of style, such a set of houses, is definitely the dream of countless people in this era.
Carpenter Wan was originally just a very ordinary carpenter, because of the famine in his family, he also fled to Tianjin with his family.
Liu Jin's large-scale recruitment, because he is a carpenter, he naturally entered the shipyard very smoothly to work, and because his carpenter's skills are good, he was rated as a third-level carpenter by the shipyard.
was rated as a third-level carpenter, he not only can receive seven taels of silver every month, this salary is definitely beyond his imagination, he never dreamed that he could earn seven taels of silver a month by doing carpentry.
You must know that in this era when you can marry a daughter-in-law for three taels of silver, the monthly salary of seven taels of silver is definitely sky-high, far beyond the sky-high price imagined.
But this is just the beginning, not long ago, part of the family area on the shipyard side was built, and as a third-level carpenter, he was also assigned a house of his own.
He still remembers very clearly that when he received the key and the deed of his house, after coming to this house that he had never dreamed of living in, the whole family was excited for several days, and their mouths were smiling.
At this time, in the courtyard of his house, Carpenter Wan was teaching his son to learn to be a carpenter.
"Carpenters must be skillful, Langzhong must be old, we must use ingenuity to work along the lines of the wood, the lines of the wood are right, the result is twice the result with half the effort, and the work done is decent."
The eldest son of the carpenter is fourteen years old, and he used to refuse to learn carpenter from him, thinking that it was useless to be a carpenter, but now it is different, the carpenter is here in the shipyard, not only has seven taels of silver a month, but also got his own house.
So there is no need for Carpenter Wan to say, his son took the initiative to ask Carpenter Wan to teach him carpentry, and he also wants to enter the shipyard, and he also wants to receive a few taels of silver a month's wages, and he also wants to get his own house, after all, he is fourteen years old, and he is almost about to start a family.
Carpenter Wan looked at his son's serious planing wood, and nodded with great satisfaction, the smell of stir-fried vegetables came from the kitchen, and his wife Xu also looked at the yard from time to time.
For this house, it is very satisfied, not only has a separate kitchen, dining room, but also a separate thatched house, with tap water, this tap water is from the Haihe River, the switch here gently open there is water, very convenient.
Carpenter Wan looked at his wife Xu, and couldn't help but raise his head higher, he used to be a strict wife, because he couldn't make much money as a carpenter, and it was difficult to support his family, so he was always ridiculed by Xu.
But now it's different, a few taels of silver a month to take home, live in this new, brand-new house, a family of six people lived a good life that they couldn't think of before, his wife is also obedient to the carpenter, look at the carpenter's eyes are different, and even opposed his son to learn to be a carpenter with the carpenter, and now he has taken the initiative to let the carpenter teach a few children to be carpenters.
"Hurry up and prepare the meal, I have to go to work in the factory after eating, I am always grinding, if I am late, the impression on the above will not be good."
Carpenter Wan yelled at Xu, who used to yell at Carpenter Wan, but now it is the other way around.
Instead of getting angry, the yelled Xu Shi sped up his speed, and at the same time said: "The meal is ready, the dish is also better, you hurry up and eat first, don't be late, otherwise your salary will be deducted." ”
"Hmm~"
Carpenter Wan was very satisfied, and was about to eat, when there was a voice outside.
"Carpenter Wan, Carpenter Wan, hurry up, Gongzi Liu has sent us fish!"
