"Elementary school students, you also rob it?" When Ma Lin heard the appeal of the great craftsmen of the Beihai Kingdom, he almost squirted out a sip of tea.

"Well, we're going to want these schoolboys!" Many of the great craftsmen of the Beihai Kingdom present nodded one after another.

Even Leonardo da Vinci, who originally came to see the excitement, interjected:

"Even I want to pick a few excellent ones to be assistants!"

Marin suddenly rolled his eyes:

"Please, when the current batch of junior high school students graduates, you can pick it again!" Anyway, Marin was going to make Leonardo da Vinci a teacher at a future science and engineering university. Those top science students who graduated from junior high school must have been sent to Leonardo da Vinci for teaching.

"Ahem, isn't this a bit of a rush. You know, the group of smart young apprentices sent before, although they are smart, they have no cultural foundation, and it is difficult to teach them, so you have to teach them literacy and simple mathematical calculations first, and you will have a headache...... Like these primary school graduates, they all have a good cultural foundation. Leonardo da Vinci touched his nose and explained awkwardly.

But as soon as Da Vinci finished speaking, the great craftsmen of the North Sea Country nodded their heads in agreement with Da Vinci's words.

In fact, these great craftsmen also need some luck to recruit apprentices. If you recruit smart apprentices, you will learn quickly. However, if you recruit a natural stay, then you can't teach it.

If the mentoring case is selected from Marin's group of elementary school students, it will be different. Because, this batch of primary school students was eliminated once as early as two years ago, and all the scumbags were eliminated.

Although the remaining 4,000 people were also eliminated this time, at least their learning ability is medium, and they will never be the kind that cannot be taught. Moreover, these primary school graduates have a certain cultural foundation, and their comprehension ability is far beyond those who are uneducated, and they can teach with half the effort.

As for those junior high school students, there is no shadow yet. Even if they graduate from junior high school, they may not be able to grab it. Therefore, it is better to seize the present and grab a group of people from these 4,000 primary school graduates. In this way, it can also save a lot of worry.

In fact, for these great craftsmen, a smart apprentice is also very important. Just like those university professors in later generations, with a group of graduate students, many hard links can be done by those graduate students, and only the core links are done by themselves. In this way, it can also save a lot of worry and effort. What's more, in later generations, there were university professors who used graduate students as animals, resulting in doctoral students committing suicide because of too much pressure......

In short, recruiting smart apprentices can also save the master a lot of trouble. After all, an apprentice is not paid for 7 years. The apprentice learns a year earlier, and the master can also use it as a coolie earlier......

……

After understanding the thoughts of these great craftsmen, Marin couldn't help laughing or crying. He really didn't expect that the primary school students who were sprayed and scolded in the games of later generations would be coaxed by the great craftsmen in this era.

In fact, these craftsmen did not know that Marin had a larger educational plan in the future—Marin planned to wait for the first batch of talents in East Frysland to be trained, and then select some of them to work as teachers in several provinces of the North Sea Country to train more elementary and junior high school students. Knowledge, now this educational program is still in its infancy and experimental stage, and there is a serious shortage of teachers, so the scale cannot be increased.

……

Originally, Marin planned to select 2,000 of the 4,000 primary school graduates to go to the non-commissioned officer school where they worked and studied. In this way, in a few years, he will have 2,000 highly qualified non-commissioned officers in his hands. In this way, the combat effectiveness of the army can also be improved.

However, it seems a little difficult to explain the meaning of all the great craftsmen here today......

For this reason, Marin had to revise the plan and reduce the number of the first batch of non-commissioned officers to 1,000 people. After all, there will be a group of primary school students graduating next year, so you can choose again.

As a result, Marin immediately signed an order, ordering the teachers of the 20 artisan schools to screen out the most courageous, calm and obedient 1,000 people and send them to study at the non-commissioned officer school. The remaining 3,000 people were handed over to the great craftsmen to choose from......

But in order to compete for the 3,000 elementary school students, those great craftsmen staged a "full martial arts" in front of Marin, and many of them raised their fists...... If it weren't for the guards, some of the great craftsmen might have been beaten up......

"Quiet, quiet! Don't argue, each of you will explain the reasons why you are in the industry. Then, I judge how many people to allocate to! ”

As soon as Marin's words were finished, Stephen, the head of the steel mill (and chief master craftsman), raised his hand and stood up:

"Me, me!"

"Okay, Stephen, tell me your reasons!" Marin gestured.

"Yes, Grand Duke! The importance of our steel mill must be well known to the Grand Duke. All the guns, swords, armor, and agricultural tools used in the North Sea Country, and the steel used in them, are supplied by our steel mills. So, our position is important. Therefore, we have 500 apprentices in our steel mill! ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the Italian watchmaker Parini of the watch factory was not happy:

"Having said that, but, Stephen, do you think a child who is only twelve or thirteen years old can adapt to such heavy labor in a steel mill? They're all kids, and it's okay to play some delicate work, but steel, their bodies can't play with it...... Well, so, it's better to come to our watch factory. It doesn't take much effort to make a clock, the key is to be smart and careful...... I also applied for 500 people ......"

"We also need 500 apprentices in the gun factory!" Barrett, director of the gun factory, also shouted. Well, Barrett was also appointed by Marin as the director of the gun factory because of his military name. Of course, its own ability is not bad.

"What are you kidding? A gun factory needs more strength than a steel factory. You know, the barrels of the guns were smashed out by blacksmiths with a heavy blacksmith's hammer. Can those twelve or thirteen-year-olds do it? Therefore, it is better to come to our textile factory, and I also need 500 apprentices! Bo Xi, the director of the textile factory, said loudly.

"Come on, Percy, weaving is a thing. These little gentlemen, it is better to come to my tannery to make leather products! The tannery also has 500 apprentices! The tannery's director (and chief craftsman) Link said loudly.

"Haha, as far as I know, among the civilians of Beihai Country, the straw sandals invented by the Grand Duke back then are more popular. Link, you're an old shoemaker who is useless, and you're still pulling 500 children with you? Therefore, it is more promising to come to our glass factory, and our glass factory needs 500 apprentices! Romeni, director of the glass factory (and chief master craftsman), said confidently.

……

Marin was a little dumbfounded - you all need 500 people to open your mouth one by one, but I only have 3,000 people left, not enough points......

At this time, the shipyard director Abihi, who had not spoken, stood up and said in a deep voice:

"Grand Duke, I think that the Beihai Kingdom, which is determined to conquer the Barbarian Continent, should have more high-level shipbuilders. So I want 1000 apprentices! ”

Abihi didn't talk much, but it got to Marin's heart. After all, a great voyage requires a lot of ships. To build a ship, you must not only have materials, but also have enough shipbuilders. Therefore, Marin immediately approved.

However, the other great craftsmen quit and quarreled. Marin also had a headache, but he didn't get used to it, but directly left a sentence:

"There are only 2,000 people left, do you love it or not? As for how to distribute it, you can discuss it yourself and tell me, I will go out first......" Then, Marin seemed to leave the palace meeting room. However, he still left dozens of guards, mainly to prevent those factory directors and master craftsmen from fighting......

Then, those guys quarreled for a day and a night, and almost staged a full martial arts show several times before finally determining the specific share. Afterwards, Marin signed directly and asked them to go back......

"Whew—it's tough! I didn't expect that assigning work to a group of elementary school students could cause such a big storm...... If the college students who are difficult to find jobs in the future hear about it, it is estimated that they will envy the ...... of these elementary school students, "Of course, they envy the ease with which primary school students find jobs, but they will never envy their treatment." Anyway, the work in the future life has five insurances and one housing fund, as well as various holidays such as weekends. And apprentices in this era have no human rights......
