Gathering the craftsmen together, Chen Zheng stepped forward and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, now that the dock has finished reading, I have a few words to say." ”

The craftsmen all stepped forward, not knowing what Chen was about to say.

Seeing that all the craftsmen were surrounded, Chen Zhengqing cleared his voice and said, "As we all know, we came to Dongyang County this time on the orders of His Majesty to form a whaling team and build sea ships for the Ministry of War. ”

"Master Chen is right, we are all sent by the Ministry of Industry to assist you, if you have any orders, you can just say." Liu Bin hurriedly said.

Chen Zheng waved his hand and said, "This time shipbuilding, you are not the main force, you are the main force." ”

"But we won't make it!" A craftsman shouted.

Chen Zheng smiled slightly and said, "I can't make it, you can learn it." The workers in this dockyard have already mastered the various processes of shipbuilding, so in the next few days, you will learn from them first. ”

As soon as these words came out, the craftsmen below were in an uproar, and several people's faces changed drastically, and they were very dissatisfied.

"I am a twenty-fifth-level craftsman in the Ministry of Engineering, how can I learn shipbuilding from these people, it is simply a loss of identity." Someone suddenly said, expressing their disdain and dissatisfaction.

Chen Zheng raised his eyebrows, a twenty-fifth level craftsman? This is a talent with four years of excellent evaluation, but looking at his gray hair, it is estimated that he has been a craftsman for decades, and he has only been evaluated well four times, and it is estimated that it also depends on his long working years and the face he gives, right?

After the craftsman had finished speaking, there were others who agreed, apparently very reluctant to learn from the shipyard workers.

Chen Zheng and Liu Bin glanced at each other and smiled slightly, Liu Bin looked very embarrassed.

Just now Chen Zheng said that some people were unwilling to learn, Liu Bin still couldn't believe it, but he didn't expect Chen Zheng to prove it himself, which made him feel a little guilty, after all, these craftsmen were brought by him.

Liu Bin smiled at Chen Zheng a little embarrassedly, meaning that he should look at it, after all, everyone had already discussed the solution just now.

Chen Zheng nodded, coughed lightly, and pulled the attention of the craftsmen back to himself, and said, "Now there are those who are willing to quit, they can stand up, and the Ministry of Industry can reimburse the travel expenses back to Kyoto." ”

"Really?" The level 25 craftsman just now asked, "Really reimburse us?" ”

"Of course it's true, if you don't believe it, you can ask Master Liu Bin." Chen Zheng pointed to Liu Bin and said.

Liu Bin was stunned for a moment, when he discussed it just now, he didn't say this, but he still had the right to be reimbursed for the travel expenses, so he stepped forward and said: "Master Chen is right, if you want to quit now, you can stand up, and the travel expenses back to Kyoto will be borne by the Ministry of Industry, and it will be a holiday tour." ”

The twenty-fifth-level craftsman was very happy when he heard this, and walked out directly, saying, "Then I am going back, it's not good here at all, who wants to go back with me?" ”

After a few people hesitated for a moment, they said, "Then I'll go back too, I've just gotten married, so I'm not at ease." ”

"Brother Wang, why did you go back again?" The newly married craftsman asked his good friend.

The craftsman surnamed Wang waved his hand and said, "Since you want to go back, it doesn't mean me to go back, so let's just stay here for a while." ”

"Oh, then Brother Wang, you have to take care." The newly married craftsman instructed.

Chen Zheng glanced at the two of them strangely, feeling that they were full of stories.

After some thought, five of them decided to go back, and the others stood still.

Those who stood still did not willingly want to learn shipbuilding from the shipwrights in the dockyard as Chen Zheng said, but felt that most people did not move, and he should not move.

This is known as herd mentality.

Chen Zheng saw that everyone had chosen the side, clapped his hands, and said, "Okay, since they have all been chosen, then make up their minds like this, and don't regret it." ”

"I won't regret it." Twenty-five level craftsmen.

Chen Zheng nodded and said, "If you choose to go back, the travel expenses will be reimbursed, and you will be teased about the two-year evaluation qualifications." ”

"What? Why didn't you say it earlier? The newly-married craftsman asked, he still valued his future.

Chen Zheng shrugged his shoulders and said, "You didn't ask what the consequences of quitting are?" ”

"You!" The newly married craftsman is very depressed, and he can't be evaluated for two years, that is, he can't raise his salary for two years, thinking about the spicy daughter-in-law who just passed the door, he has a headache.

The twenty-fifth level craftsman patted him on the shoulder and said, "Isn't it just to make fun of the two-year evaluation qualifications, it's not a big deal, it's better than being wronged here." ”

The newly married craftsman glanced at him and muttered, "You have only been excellent four times since you were decades old, so of course you don't care." ”

"What?" The twenty-fifth level craftsman didn't hear it too clearly, otherwise it was estimated that he would turn his face with the newly married craftsman.

Chen Zheng saw that they were no longer talking, and then said: "Those who stay are willing to follow the shipwrights to learn shipbuilding technology seriously, and their salary level will be increased by one level!" ”

The craftsmen were silent for a moment, and they all suspected that they had heard it wrong, and finally a bold craftsman asked, "Master Chen, we heard it right, the salary has been increased by one level?" ”

"Of course, I heard it right, it's just a step up." Chen Zheng said affirmatively.

The bold craftsman still didn't seem to be sure, and asked again, "Then what you say?" ”

This is a question that the craftsmen who stayed behind are very concerned about, whether what Chen Zheng said counts, if it is empty and white-toothed, he will come when he opens his mouth, and when the time comes, he will not admit it, who will they talk to?

Chen Zheng glanced at Liu Bin, and Liu Bin said very consciously: "Sun Shangshu of our Ministry of Industry has instructed Master Chen to decide all your matters in Dongyang County." ”

As soon as these words came out, all the craftsmen were finally relieved, and they were all happy and happy, knowing that their group of people, if they were according to the normal evaluation, it was estimated that two or three would be able to get excellent, so that the salary would be promoted to one level.

And now, as long as you learn shipbuilding technology well, you can increase your salary by one level, so why not.

Suddenly, they felt how wise their decision to stay was, and many of them looked at the five people who quit with sympathy!

The twenty-fifth level craftsman was stunned, he really didn't expect that he would be able to rise one level if he stayed, what a great opportunity this was!

The newly married craftsman was also so anxious that he stomped his feet and plucked up the courage to ask, "Master Chen, I want to stay now, is it okay?" ”

"yes, let him stay." The craftsman surnamed Wang just now also interceded for him.

However, Chen Zheng shook his head and said, "No, the choice you made can't be changed." ”

The craftsman surnamed Wang seemed to be very righteous, and stepped forward and said, "Master Chen, I am willing to exchange with him, let him stay, and I will go back." ”
