"Of course there is money!"

The young man's words made Shi Yiwen laugh out loud.

"Not only do I have the money from the factory to buy this machine, but I am also going to give your father an extra bonus as a reward!"

Looking at the surprised young man in front of him, thinking of the previous idea, Shi Yiwen asked again.

"I'm going to set up a technical school in the factory, are you interested?"

Technical school?

The young man looked at the owner of the factory in surprise, his eyes were full of puzzlement, not to mention that he didn't understand, and Xu Sicheng didn't understand either.

"It's a place that teaches you literacy, arithmetic, and these mechanical principles, and you can work directly in the factory after you finish your studies."

Despite the general explanation, Blacksmith Sun's son agreed, as if the technical school was no different from an apprentice.

"Isn't it an apprentice?"

After leaving Blacksmith Sun's house, Xu Sicheng said casually.

"It's pretty much the same,"

Shi Yiwen nodded and said,

"In that case, is it necessary to set up this technical school? Just recruit a group of apprentices and let the masters take them with them in the factory. ”

"Of course not."

Shi Yiwen shook his head and said.

"The way that the master takes the apprentice is too inefficient, a master will take three or five apprentices at most, and the apprentice must serve them like his father, otherwise he may not be able to learn the real thing, this way of cultivation is not suitable for our factory, and there are less than six hundred people in this factory, but slowly the workers will only become more and more ......"

Looking towards the courtyard wall of the factory, Shi Yiwen continued to explain.

"And with the use of simple machine tools, the future of the factory technology needs a large number of skilled workers with basic reading and writing ability, the national workers in the process of using the machine, the performance, structure, operating principle and repair, maintenance methods of the machine must be proficient, therefore, the minimum reading and writing ability is an indispensable condition, on this basis to learn some preliminary geometric knowledge and mechanical knowledge is also necessary......"

Looking at the vendors on both sides of the road in front of the factory gate, it is completely like a lively small market, and the move of hundreds of working families has attracted nearby vendors, and the market has also prospered. In the future, as the factory expands, it will only become more lively.

"In addition to these, under the new factory system, industrial production also requires workers to have the relevant qualities of abiding by the factory system, discipline, honesty, obedience, etc., and from the perspective of the future development of the factory, we need to establish a complete set of apprenticeship training system, training directly in the factory, such as technical education, etc., if there is close cooperation between different factories, it is impossible to achieve success......"

Thinking of the kind of technical school founded by specialized educational machinery that he was familiar with, Shi Yiwen sighed in his heart, most of that kind of school is not only a waste of time, but also a waste of funds.

"And our apprentice recruitment, we don't need to kowtow to apprentices like craftsmen recruit apprentices now, we have to have a guarantor as a guarantor, and we have to sign a life and death contract. It is to recruit trainees, recruit 200 people in the first phase, and give a certain allowance during the training, such as one or two per month, or less, anyone can sign up, and then let's test it and test some basic literacy and arithmetic......"

Recalling a certain period of apprenticeship, Shi Yiwen slowly said the initial idea, and finally emphasized the training of apprentices in the yarn mill, after all, the yarn mill is all produced with new yarn machines, even for spinning experts, the equipment of the yarn mill is extremely fresh, so it is even more necessary to train apprentices.

Sometimes, many ideas are just a flash of inspiration, after all, Shi Yiwen himself is not a generalist, and it is impossible to think of everything. Even if you think about it, the implementation may not be so smooth, like how the apprentice is taught, who will teach, and so on, and so on, all of which need to be solved in the end.

And all this naturally fell on Xu Sicheng's body, after all, he is the manager of the factory, he is no stranger to teaching, but he does not know anything about apprenticeship training, but some things in education are often universal, select a few skilled masters from the factory, give them extra silver, let them teach the craft in the school, and then take the apprentice to the factory "internship", usually need to learn literacy and arithmetic in the classroom, although from the perspective of future generations, This kind of apprenticeship seems primitive, but at least it's a good start.

Many times, many things are starting from scratch like this, a little bit of groping, even Shi Yiwen himself needs to find a little bit of groping how to manage the business, he has never done business, he is also groping, especially with the successive establishment of car and horse dealers, banks and factories, some things are naturally in front of him.

That night, as Qian Lei, he came to Shitaizhuang from the city, and the reason why he came in the middle of the night was because there was a very secret and important matter.

"Owner, someone stole money!"

Qian Lei's words made Shi Yiwen stunned.

"Who stole the money?"

"I'm not sure now, but there must be a problem with the flow of water on the side of the carriage and horse shop, and the money paid to the bank this month is a lot less than in the past, almost 10%."

Qian Lei's words made Shi Yiwen stunned, and he was silent for a while before he said slowly.

"The carriage and horse company receives at least 600,000 yuan a day, and there is no fixed amount...... Yicheng, could it be that because the weather is getting warmer, there are fewer people sitting than in winter? ”

"It's hot, there are fewer people in the car, and it's really possible to ......"

Subconsciously, Shi Yiwen felt that it might be due to the weather, after all, two pennies may not seem like much, but for people who are used to frugality, of course, it is an additional expense. When the weather warms up, some people will definitely choose to walk.

Looking at the owner, Qian Lei said slowly.

"But that's not the reason, I think there must be something wrong with the account on the Che Ma side, I think the owner should send someone over to check the account?"

Seeing that the owner didn't speak, Qian Lei said again.

"The owner, the account books of the carriage and horse dealership are the most chaotic, there are both people and employees' money, horse materials, and car damage, so many accounts, as long as the accounts are done fancy, there is no problem in the calculation of income and expenditure, and there must be no problem, but I always feel that there is a problem inside, and I can't say where the problem is, and there is no evidence, I am an outsider and it is inconvenient to interfere, even the owner, and I can't check it with great fanfare, so as not to chill people's hearts......"
