Liu Jin is very glad that he did well in the exam, won the top prize, and entered a place like Hanlin Academy, which is very leisurely, and he has a lot of time to do what he wants to do after ordering a mao every day.

If you don't do well in the exam, like your two students, Huang Jinquan was directly sent to the local place to Renzhi County because he was in the top three, Tong Yuan belonged to the position of the tail of the second-class crane, and got an errand to stay in the capital household department, which was regarded as staying in Beijing, and he was busy every day, and he was tired to death.

The key is that the two of them are tired, and the appreciation is not as fast as their own, they only need to stay in the Hanlin Academy for a few years with peace of mind, and they are generally promoted to study and lecture first, that is, to give lectures to the emperor and the prince, and then rise to the position of the sixth grade, and then to the position of the bachelor from the fifth grade.

Then he went to the Zhan Mansion to serve, like Wang Shouren's father Wang Hua, at this time he was almost a four-grade member, and if he came out of the Zhan Mansion, he was basically the squire of the six departments, and at this time he was the third-grade officer, and then if it went well, it would be the rhythm of the six Shangshu, and then enter the cabinet.

It is almost impossible for Huang Jinquan and Tong Yuan to rise to the top like this, both of them are now officials of the seventh grade, and if they want to rise step by step, they don't know how long it will take.

Liu Jin likes the work of Hanlin Academy, which belongs to the typical kind of things that are few, close to home, and fast appreciation.

Liu Jin, who is idle, is also just able to do everything he wants to do.

To the south of the capital, Wangjiazhuang is only a dozen miles away from the capital.

A large area of land around Wangjiazhuang is all Liu Jin's land, of course, this land was originally owned by the British Duke Zhang Mao, and later Zhang Mao sold it to Liu Jin.

At this time, the vicinity of Wangjiazhuang was extremely busy, thousands of laborers were hired by Liu Jin, four-wheeled carriages transporting reinforced concrete and building materials lined up in a long line, and several huge factories were under construction.

This is the place where Liu Jin is going to build a textile factory, Wangjiazhuang is close to the capital, the transportation is convenient, relying on the capital, backed by the entire North China Plain, and the capital itself is also very close to the border area, and the future can also continue to obtain wool from the grassland This raw material, it is perfect to build a textile base here.

In a group of courtyards that have been built in Wangjiazhuang, hundreds of skilled craftsmen were hired by Liu Jin with high salaries, and at this time they were constantly studying the drawings of the new spinning machines and looms that Liu Jin took out, and creating new spinning machines and looms.

"Lao Liu, isn't it too slow to build spinning machines and looms like this, these hundreds of people can't make many spinning machines a day, when will our factory be filled?"

Liu Jin accompanied Zhu Houzhao to inspect here, Zhu Houzhao looked at the few spinning machines that had just been manufactured, and was rarely dissatisfied with their speed, hundreds of people, which was too slow.

The key is that Liu Jin's salary package for them is really good.

Like Tianjin Shipyard here, Liu Jin also set up a grade for these skilled craftsmen, regularly assessed and re-educated, and the salary is also linked to these, the higher the grade, the better the salary will naturally be.

But even if it is an apprentice, Liu Jin has also opened a monthly fee of three taels of silver, and if he can be rated as a master, even the lowest-level first-level craftsman master will have a monthly salary of five taels of silver.

In addition to the monthly money, coupled with many other benefits, it can be said that Liu Jin turned over these lowly craftsmen all of a sudden.

Whether it is a blacksmith who makes iron, or a carpenter, or a cement worker who works on the construction site, etc., as long as they enter the industry under Liu Jin, they are all included in this system.

This is also the reason why Liu Jin is now able to recruit many craftsmen casually, because the salary offered by Liu Jin is too high, forming the effect of a thousand gold bones, every time Liu Jin needs someone, as long as he shouts, craftsmen from all over the world are willing to gather.

Now there are craftsmen from Shandong, Shanxi, and Henan who have come to the capital to live a certain life, and it is naturally the best to be able to enter the industry under Liu Jin's command.

"Your Highness, they have just begun to study these spinning machines and looms, first make some samples, and then use the assembly line production method, and then it will be fast at that time."

Liu Jin smiled and said, then thought about it and added: "But Your Highness, what you said is not wrong, they are indeed too slow." ”

"Although all of these craftsmen have rich experience, most of them are uneducated, illiterate, and rely on their own experience to do things."

"In a short period of time, we can still deal with one or two, but if we want to really innovate and make breakthroughs, we can't go on like this, we still have to focus on the future and establish a special craftsman school."

Here, Liu Jin realized that his development route may be wrong, even if he has a golden finger, what he can do is limited, and more should pay attention to the cultivation of talents.

Like Tianjin Maritime College, it is necessary to set up a special craftsman school to train craftsmen and R&D talents, and finally slowly reach the step of cultivating scientists.

Now, in addition to the Tianjin Maritime College, whether it is Tianjin Shipyard, Miyun Iron Factory, or Tianjin Cement Factory, it is only an internal training and education system, not a special school, but a training for existing workers.

Although the effect is also very good, Tianjin Shipyard has been very successful, training a large number of excellent shipbuilders, laying a solid foundation for the HNA career.

But education is such a thing, in fact, it should start from the baby, from the doll training, from the most basic thing education, the key to the high-rise building is the foundation.

Just like in front of him, Liu Jin has obviously given the drawings, and these hundreds of craftsmen have also studied for many geniuses, but the speed of manufacturing is still very slow, and many times, when these craftsmen manufacture parts, there is no way to achieve unified standards and specifications.

The same thing, Master Zhang made and Master Li made is different, there is no way to use each other, this is enough to explain the problem, if you want to industrialize, this is not possible.

In the final analysis, it is still necessary to educate from basic things, because Master Zhang and Master Li are both adults, and they both have their own experience, and they rely on their own experience to do things, and the things they make are naturally different.

"Artisan school?"

When Zhu Houzhao heard this, he was slightly stunned.

This craftsman is a lowly person, and the school has been a sacred place since ancient times, a place for teaching and educating people, and the scholars are all high, even if they can't pass the fame of the scholars, it is also coaxed.

Now that craftsmen and schools are being linked, and a special craftsman school is being built, are you sure you can recruit students?

Are you sure you won't face a backlash from Shilin?

What are you going to teach in this craftsman school?

Four Books and Five Classics?

Or do you teach to make iron, or do you teach to be a carpenter?

Suddenly, a lot of things came out of Zhu Houzhao's head, and he felt that this idea was not realistic.

If you teach the Four Books and the Five Classics, what is the difference between it and the traditional private school, if you teach ironsmithing, carpentry or something, it can't be called a school, Shilin will not agree to you hang the name of a school but call someone to strike iron.

"Lao Liu, your idea is not realistic, right?"

After thinking about it, Zhu Houzhao said.

"My initial plan is like this, let's set up some affiliated schools first, such as Miyun Iron Factory, we will run a Miyun Iron Factory school, as long as they are the children of factory employees, they can study for free, and they will also have a lunch."

"The content taught in this factory school is different from that of ordinary private schools and academies, we do not teach the Four Books and the Five Classics, nor do we teach the Spring and Autumn Period, we will subdivide these courses into specific subdivisions."

"It can be roughly divided into five courses: Chinese Studies, Mathematics, History, Geography and Natural Studies!"

Liu Jin nodded, thought about it, and preliminarily said his plan.

"I know mathematics, history, and geography, but what is going on with Chinese studies and natural science?"

Zhu Houzhao listened carefully, thought about it and asked.

"Chinese culture is actually literacy, teaching them to read and write, but the content we teach is not only the four books and five classics, but also poetry and songs."

"As for nature, it is a discipline that studies nature, to be precise, it is the predecessor of the craftsman school, such as studying how to make better steel and increase steel production, or how to dye cloth and how to make more cloth."

Liu Jin thought for a while and replied, natural science is actually the predecessor of science, and now there is no scientific statement, so it is better to replace it with natural science.

"It's interesting, but if you don't teach the Four Books and the Five Classics, and you don't take the imperial examination, are you sure someone will send children to study?"

Zhu Houzhao nodded, thought about it and talked about a very critical issue.

"Can we recruit workers, as long as they come out of school, we can let them become apprentices in various factories, which is equivalent to the predecessor of craftsmen, and then set up a craftsman school, as long as we graduate from it, we will recruit with a high salary, and we are afraid that no one will study?"

"For most children from ordinary families, it would be good to be able to read and write, but do you still expect to take the imperial examination?"

Zhu Houzhao's problem is very realistic, people are profit-seeking, and they will not do things that are not beneficial, if they can't take the imperial examination when they study, there will definitely be no one to study, and it is better to help work and make money with this study.

Reading is useless, and even in later generations, there are still people who find it reasonable.
