West Mountain, as the sky gradually darkens, the afterglow of the setting sun will shine the clouds in the west red, and the originally lively West Mountain has come to call it a day.

"Handmade~Handmade~"

With the sound of the steward, the people who had worked all day also put down the tools in their hands one after another, put the tools together in a unified and neat manner, and then gathered together in groups of three or five, while walking towards the canteen, they also talked about the results of today's work.

"I pressed 2,200 pieces of honeycomb coal today, and after all, I can get almost 22 big pieces today."

"Brother Zhang, you are so powerful, I can't do it, I haven't even pressed 2,000 honeycomb coals today."

"I just have more than 2,000, 20 eldest sons, there are more than 20 days before the New Year, I am ready to work until the 27th of the lunar calendar, and when the time comes, I will be able to get 2,000 Wen in Xishan, and then I can pull some cloth to make clothes for my daughter and mother-in-law, and buy some meat to have a decent New Year."

"Yes, I heard that our boss Liu Gongzi also plans to give us annual leave, it is said that there may be a year-end bonus at that time, I don't know if it's true?"

"Let's talk nonsense, and pay the year-end bonus."

"I definitely don't believe it if it is somewhere else, but here in Xishan, I think it is still possible, our boss is a good man, and he is really good to us."

"If it weren't for the boss, we might have frozen to death and starved to death, where would we still be able to eat enough and make money every day."

"That's it, that's it, Liu Gongzi is the best."

"I also heard that if I don't go back during the Chinese New Year and work for Liu Gongzi here in Xishan, this salary will be doubled, and there will be big fish and meat to eat during the New Year, I am alone, one person is full, the whole family is not hungry, I don't plan to go back."

"I plan to change to a regular job next year, and in the future, I will be the same as the people in this Xishan Village, as long as I work hard every day, I can earn hundreds of dollars a day, and I can earn 2 taels of silver a month."

"There is basically no expense here, and when the time comes, I can save more than 20 taels of silver a year, and I am ready to settle down here in Xishan, and take my mother and sister over together, do you plan to come next year?"

"I don't know, in fact, I like it here, it's fun and lively, and I won't be bullied, but at home... We'll talk about that then. ”

"Let's go, hurry up and finish our meal, go to night class, I have forgotten several of the ten words I learned yesterday."

There are more than 10 canteens in Xishan, and each canteen has become extremely noisy, and everyone urgently needs to replenish energy and water after a day of physical labor.

A large bowl full of noodles, or rice, plus a spoonful of vegetables, and a large bowl of soup is the most comforting thing for people at this time.

Because after dinner is the night class, this night class is not physical work, it can be regarded as rest, so everyone is the most leisurely at dinner, as long as time allows, they will not be too anxious.

After dinner, it's time for the night class, and the place for the night class is also in a huge room, a bit similar to the auditorium, this auditorium is also specially designed, referring to the design pattern of the auditorium in later generations, the sitting position is from low to high, and the higher the position, so that the view will not be blocked.

In the entire Xishan side, in addition to Liu Jin's three cheap apprentices, the account room, shopkeeper and the like on the Xishan side can all be regarded as scholars, at least, this word is known a lot, and it can be written, and the most basic arithmetic can also be calculated.

So these people were pulled over by Liu Jin to train first, and then became teachers, and began to teach the workers here in Xishan to read, write, and count, and by the way, they were brainwashing everyone and cultivating corporate culture and teamwork awareness.

The content of this night class is naturally different from that of the private school, and there are very few students in the private school, and the gentleman who teaches is at least a showman, and he teaches classics such as the Four Books and the Five Classics.

The content of the teaching is simple, just teach at least some simple, commonly used, common words, simple arithmetic, the purpose is also to make these workers more convenient to manage.

Workers who have no education at all, who are only able to do manual work, and who need a little bit of skill, do not understand it at all, and it is very difficult to teach.

In particular, Liu Jin is not satisfied with everything now, and thinks about whether he can implement some things of industrialization in the future, so he naturally needs people who understand some knowledge and culture to do things.

For example, the simplest one calculates weight and length, if a person who has no education at all, a person who can't count, he is naturally black-haired, and it is difficult to do things well.

As long as some basic knowledge and mathematics are imparted, they will naturally be able to understand some, and the dissemination of knowledge is also carried out with the dissemination of ideas and concepts, which is also more convenient for Liu Jin to implement various management and systems.

To put it simply, this makes everyone cut their hair, if they are scholars, their inherent concept is naturally that the parents of the body hair and skin do not dare to damage it, and neither the hair nor the hair on the body can damage the slightest.

They didn't think about it, the hair is too long, the beard is too long for life and work, the reader has an identity and status, naturally there are people, time, and conditions to take care of it, but the people at the bottom have no time and no conditions to take care of it, so it is better to cut it off.

If such a concept and concept are promoted, everyone will naturally not have any rejection of cutting hair, and after understanding its benefits, they will shave their hair.

This is why Liu Jin spends a lot of money to teach these people at the bottom to impart knowledge, because it is not only the pockets and identities that need to be changed, but also the thoughts and brains that need to be changed.

The night classes here in Xishan are very popular, because for these people at the top, they are illiterate, and they can know very, very few words, and everyone in Xishan here cherishes this opportunity to teach everyone to read and write and arithmetic for free.

In fact, everyone is very eager for reading and knowledge, because in this era, readers are real people with status and status, and no matter where they go, they can eat openly.

There is a golden house in the book, and there is Yan Ruyu in the book.

In this era, the value of knowledge is very great, because they are illiterate, because they can't count, these people at the bottom have suffered a lot and been deceived.

Now there is an opportunity to learn literacy and arithmetic, and no one will miss such a good opportunity.

Many people come to the auditorium where the evening class takes place after breakfast early, occupying the front seat as much as possible, so that they can see and hear more clearly.
