Chapter 688: Fame and Fortune Are Gone, Craftsmen Are Going to Become Teachers!
(0688)
Zhou Zhou Ming is a student of Gao Hongtu, his brain is flexible, and his comprehension ability is strong, and he will come forward to deal with this matter, Gao Hongtu himself will definitely give more guidance, basically, well, it can't be said that such a direct word is used, it should be said that Gao Hongtu's enthusiasm has been fully mobilized. This matter, as long as Gao Hongtu does his best, he will definitely be able to do it perfectly.
Thus, the first craftsman school of the Tiger Ben Army was born. According to the vigorous and resolute approach of the Tiger Ben Army, since it has been decided, it must be implemented immediately. So, Zhou Zhou Ming soon came and listened to Zhang Zhun's instructions in person.
"Heng Wangfu?"
Hearing that the school was actually set up in the Hengwang Mansion, Zhou Ming was obviously a little stunned, and then a little excited, and finally calmed down. To be the host of this school, Zhou Zhou Ming is still very excited. The idea of turning the Hengwang Mansion into a school can only be imagined by Zhang Zhun. And since he is the organizer of the school, this means that the Hengwang Mansion will also be under his control. Running a palace is a challenge, a test, and an honor in every aspect.
"Hey, Yiming, the Hengwang Mansion was handed over to you, but it wasn't used by you to sell!"
Zhang Zhun deliberately put on a straight face and said seriously.
"Of course not!"
Zhou Ming said hurriedly.
Some time ago, because the finances of the Tiger Benjun were relatively tight, after getting Zhang Zhun's approval, Zhou Ming really auctioned a lot of things to raise funds. Many buildings, including Laizhou Mansion and Dengzhou Mansion, were sold by Zhou Ming. These buildings were left behind by large families, and after they fled to Dengzhou Mansion, they were killed or taken away by the Tartars, and these houses became ownerless.
After the Tiger Army took it back, it was auctioned off to some wealthy families from other places, and it also raised two or three hundred thousand taels of silver, which solved the urgent need. Because he is always auctioning houses, he is addicted to auctions on Monday. As long as it is something that the Tiger Benjun does not need at the moment, it is all in his auction, and the Hengwang Mansion is also in his auction plan, but this building is too dazzling for anyone to dare to buy.
Zhang Zhun cautiously advised: "Since the Hengwang Mansion has been changed to a school, then, every grass, tree, brick and tile in it must be well preserved. This is a craftsman school, some are craftsmen, and maintaining the equipment and facilities of Hengwang Mansion is their practice class. If this is not done, all teachers and students will be incompetent. ”
Zhou Ming said with a smile: "Thousands of people sent it inside, my lord, this Hengwang Mansion has become a big dining hall, it's strange if you don't boil the pot indiscriminately." ”
Zhang Zhun shook his head and said, "It is estimated that at the beginning, there were not so many people, only a few hundred." In short, tell them to love everything in the palace. If it is damaged, it will be compensated. Scare and scare them, don't be lawless. ”
Zhou Ming hurriedly agreed.
It is not enough to have an organizer of the school, there must also be a large number of craftsmen as teachers. At this time, those old craftsmen are very popular. According to Zhang Zhun's idea, the teachers of the technical school are, of course, these old people. As for the crafts taught, they are only divided into a few categories for the time being, including blacksmiths, plasterers, carpenters, shipwrights, etc. As for how to classify the categories in detail, let's wait for the structure of the school to be structured.
Zhou Zhou Ming asked a little worriedly: "My lord, the craftsmanship of craftsmen is basically passed down from father to son, son to grandson, and even daughters are not passed on, we want them to teach the craft of family heirlooms to strangers for free, will they be willing?" ”
Zhang Zhun said with a smile: "I'll do this job." You draw up a list of relevant personnel first, and I'll take care of the rest. ”
Monday Ming went in a hurry. Soon, the list of relevant craftsmen was sent to Zhang Zhun, a total of more than 30 people, all of whom were backbones in all aspects. He is in charge of government affairs, and he is naturally clear about which craftsmen are the best, and he can pull them out in three strokes and two clicks. Zhang Zhun immediately ordered that all the craftsmen on the list come to the Huben Army Metropolitan Governor's Mansion for a meeting.
The experienced old craftsmen of the Tiger Ben Army were basically concentrated in the three places around Fushan City, including the ironworks, the craftsman's workshop, and the shipyard, and after receiving Zhang Zhun's direct order, it only took them half a day to come together. Because they didn't say hello in advance, after the craftsmen arrived, they all wondered, what was the matter with Zhang Zhun coming to them?
"Hehe, I'm looking for you to come here, I have something to discuss."
"I hope that everyone can pass on their skills to more people."
Zhang Zhun said straight to the point.
The craftsmen below were silent.
There are a few craftsmen who are familiar with Zhang Zhun, you look at me, I look at you, they are all a little stunned. Because, before this, Zhang Zhun's decision had not been discussed with them in private, so they didn't know what Zhang Zhun was going to do for the time being. However, no matter what Zhang Zhun wants to do, they must show their support.
The craftsmen of the Tiger Ben Army, before Zhang Zhun crossed over, life could be described as miserable, as if Zhou Shiwen and others were about to starve to death at home. If it weren't for the sudden arrival of the Tiger Ben Army, who wanted to make a large number of firearms, they would have starved to death long ago. The same is true of other craftsmen. Therefore, they are very grateful to Zhang Zhun. It's just that when it comes to the issue of technology being passed on to strangers, they do have to think about it.
The craftsmanship of the craftsmen is indeed very secret, and the skilled craftsmen will not easily pass on their craftsmanship to others. In fact, there are many cases where craftsmen would rather bring their own craftsmanship into the coffin than pass it on to others. The most fundamental reason for this situation is still the fear of teaching the disciples and killing the master. In other words, the craftsmen at that time did not have a guarantee of livelihood.
Now, Zhang Zhun wants them to contribute their skills and teach them to others for free, and the craftsmen present can easily think of their future. What will they do if their craft is learned by others? This is a very real problem that everyone must consider. Until this problem is resolved, the craftsmen will not change their minds easily.
"I know it's not easy for people to make such a decision. However, in order to cultivate more talents, this is a must! Our current team of craftsmen is still too small, far from enough! You don't have to worry about having no livelihood and no income after your craft is taught. I'll give you a subsidy! The standard of subsidy will not be lower than the money that everyone will earn in the next 30 years! ”
"To put it simply, if you can earn three taels of silver a month and thirty-six taels of silver a year, I will give you a subsidy of at least one thousand and eighty taels. If your technology is what we need very much, this subsidy can be even higher! Even, more than 10,000 taels is possible! I can guarantee that there will never be a situation where the disciples of the church starve to death of the master. ”
At the critical moment, Zhang Zhun made the final decision.
Aren't you worried that passing on your skills to others will threaten the rest of your life? Okay, I'll just buy your technology in one go. That way, you don't have to worry about the rest of your life. Moreover, since this technology was sold to the Tiger Army, it will always be owned by the Tiger Army. Future craftsmen can learn such a process. This is a two-pronged thing, and of course Zhang Zhun doesn't care about a little bit of money.
Those craftsmen who were worried about the rest of their lives were suddenly much more relieved. If Zhang Zhun really did this, they really didn't mind showing off their skills. As long as they get a heavy amount of silver, the rest of their lives will be over. In fact, it is also a joy to be able to teach more people. Of course, this kind of happiness is based on the full security of one's own life. In addition, there is a premise that they do have the core technology.
"Actually, I believe that what you care about most is not money, but to leave a name in history. If you can generously contribute your own technology, I think your name will definitely be left in the record of history. It's not just those who read books who can make a name for themselves, but so can our craftsmen. ”
Zhang Zhun smiled slightly and continued to throw a bombshell.
These words are simply a stone that stirs up a thousand waves, and the shock to the craftsmen is too strong.
Leave a name in history!
God, only this Zhang Zhun will value them so much!
The number of craftsmen who have left their names in history is indeed too small, as if it is just a Luban. Cai Lun is a eunuch in his own job, so he doesn't count. For a long time, the skills of craftsmen have been crowned with miraculous skills, and it is impossible to get ahead. Even the craftsmen who helped Ming Chengzu Zhu Di build the Forbidden City, few people knew their names.
However, now Zhang Zhun clearly told them that these craftsmen may also be famous in history. So that they can't help but get excited. People live with a face, trees live with a skin, who doesn't want to be famous in history? Didn't someone once publicly say that even if it can't be remembered for a hundred years, it will be left behind for 10,000 years?
In this era, it is indeed too difficult to produce a celebrity in the family. It seems that this has become the patent of readers. Only by studying well and becoming an official in the future can you become a celebrity. The so-called ten-year cold window no one asked, and the world knew that he became famous in one fell swoop. How can the status of craftsmen be compared with that of scholars?
"Really! As long as everyone makes achievements, it is inevitable that history will leave a name! I'll have people write a book and leave their names in it. This book will be used as a teaching material for new apprentices and as a compulsory course in the school. As soon as you enter the Academy, you will know your name. In the future, all craftsmen will know your name. ”
Zhang Zhun said seductively.
"My lord, I do!"
Li Fenglai was the first to raise his hand and said.
"My lord, I am willing too!"
"My lord, I am willing too!"
Yin Gensheng and Zou Huoming also said successively.
As the backbone of Shengxiazong, Li Fenglai, Yin Gensheng, Zou Huoming and others naturally set an example first, and then Zhou Shiwen, Luo Dashan, Sun Qinkai and others in the craftsman's workshop. In fact, many of the craftsmen present had developed into members of the Shengxia Sect because they did have certain skills, and they all unconditionally supported Zhang Zhun's decision.
They took the lead in expressing their position, and the other craftsmen naturally had no objections. With fame and fortune in place, what else do they want? Overall, the performance of the craftsmen is quite satisfactory. Of course, the conditions offered by Zhang Zhun also made the craftsmen feel acceptable. Zhang Zhun not only solved their worries, but also gave them a higher status and more hope. If they don't support Zhang Zhun, they can't say anything.
Subsequently, Zhang Zhun reported on the organization of the skills competition and the selection of great inventions. Because these two contents are still in the research stage, Zhang Zhun only mentioned them briefly. However, sensitive craftsmen still started to ask this question, and they wanted a clearer answer.
"The Ministry of Administration is working on the relevant details, which will be released soon! The details should be known in a few days. Here, I can tell you for sure that the skills competition will definitely be held. The selection of great inventions must also be carried out. When the time comes, everyone will know your name! ”
"There are three awards in the skills competition. The first prize is 1,000 taels, the second prize is 800 taels, and the third prize is 500 taels. Major projects were set on an ad hoc basis, including blacksmiths, plasterers, carpenters, shipbuilders, etc. For each project, there will be one first prize, three second prizes, and six third prizes, for a total of ten people. ”
Zhang Zhun said with a smile.
Sure enough, these two decisions made all the craftsmen excited.
Regardless of the final result of this skill competition, his preparation process will make the craftsmen show their faces greatly. This is definitely good for improving the social status of craftsmen. In other words, the craftsmen have never tasted the taste of being envied. In the past, craftsmen were always spurned and looked down upon, but now, they can finally raise their eyebrows.
"The selection of great inventions is judged by me personally! That's a total of ten winners! The first place is awarded three thousand taels of silver, the second place is awarded two thousand taels of silver, and the third place is awarded one thousand five hundred taels of silver. Fourth, fifth, and sixth places were each awarded 1,000 taels of silver. The last four were each rewarded with five hundred taels of silver. ”
Zhang Zhun continued to speak eloquently.
Speaking of the silver of the white flowers, the craftsmen below suddenly had their eyes shining again.
Three thousand taels of silver, what is that concept? For an ordinary artisan family, it is definitely a huge amount of money. Don't say three thousand taels, it's five hundred taels, it's a huge amount of money. According to the standard of living at that time, a family of seven or eight people had a stable income of two taels of silver every month, and life was not bad. Five hundred taels of silver, an average family, it takes at least twenty years to raise. If it's three thousand taels, you can immediately become a human being.
"My lord, I do!"
"My lord, I do!"
"My lord, I do!"
……
The craftsmen rose up one after another.
Zhang Zhun smiled with satisfaction.
[Today's second update is delivered! ] I'm so lazy today, I don't know what's wrong, I just don't want to do it, and I went to the Tianya community to quarrel with people for a long time, so there are only two chapters...... I'm embarrassed, hide my face and cry ......]
