Among the vocational training courses offered by Jonesey College, the majors related to navigation can be regarded as the college's advantages because they were opened early and have accumulated rich teaching experience. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 Of course, the teachers here are only at the entry level compared to the Shengli Port Shipyard in Sanya, and the so-called professional skills are mainly carpenter's craftsmanship and basic hull construction knowledge. Similar to the sailing ships built by Haihan itself, because the hull structure and construction method are different from traditional Chinese sailing ships, and the craftsmen can only come into contact with these advanced technologies with confidentiality requirements after entering the shipyards under Haihan's rule, which are certainly not learned in the academy where shipwrights are trained.

However, because Jonesy College is one of the first educational institutions to sign a talent transfer agreement with the Ministry of Shipping, the Ministry of Shipping still has certain support measures for Qiongxi College, such as sending professional craftsmen here every year to take instructional classes, so that these students can be more fully prepared for entering the shipyard in the training stage. This also ensures that the students taught by Jonesy Academy can adapt to the requirements of Haihan Shipyard in the shortest possible time, so that the college can also have a greater advantage when recruiting students.

Zhang Xin introduced to Ning Qi: "The teaching results of Qiongxi Academy are good, so since last year, the Ministry of Shipping has listed it as a demonstration site for navigation professional teaching, and graduates are not only assigned to local shipping companies and shipyards on Hainan Island, but also some are also assigned to overseas colonies. ”

Zhang Jinbao accosted beside him: "Half of the last batch of graduates of this major were sent to Jinlan Port in Annan. ”

Of course, Ningqi also knew that there was a shipyard that had already been put into operation at Cam Ranh Port in Annam, and its function was mainly to serve the South China Sea Fleet stationed in Cam Ranh Port in the future. It is said that the shipbuilding capacity planned by the Ministry of Shipping for it is on a par with the large shipyards in Sanya, Kaohsiung, Zhoushan and other places, and the demand for professional shipwrights is naturally quite large. If the shipyards of overseas colonies like this want to get enough professionals, it is far from being able to keep up with the speed of development by relying on the shipyards on Hainan Island alone, and the training courses offered by educational institutions such as Jonesy College have indeed solved the problem of insufficient scale of technical personnel training for Haihan to a certain extent.

However, Ning Qi's understanding of shipbuilding technology is only theoretical, and the actual operation level is not even comparable to that of ordinary carpenters, so the woodworking teaching displayed by teachers and students can only be seen in a casual manner, at most a few words of encouragement, but there is no way to ask and answer as in Bailu Academy before. Of course, Zhang Jinbao will not use the craftsmanship of these craftsmen to test the level of the head of the school, and he did not arrange similar exchanges during the visit.

Next, Ning Qi visited the smelting major of the academy, which is not simply to train blacksmiths, but to teach basic smelting techniques, so that students can master the basic smelting process from ore to pig iron. In the future, we may have to add the Jinguashi gold mine in Taipei, as well as the tin mines on Bangka Island and Belitung Island in Nanyang, and the demand for smelting professionals is still considerable.

The steel smelting industry in the south of the Ming Dynasty was already developed, so the teaching staff was very sufficient, and many of the immigrants who came to Hainan Island from the mainland were engaged in the smelting industry, most of whom entered the smelters under the rule of Haihan, and a small number of them were left behind, so some people were hired to join educational institutions such as Qiongxi Academy and became teachers of the teaching profession. The two teachers who teach here used to be ironsmiths in the Foshan ironmaking workshop, but when they are older, their physical condition has declined, and they can no longer work on the front line.

The so-called fried iron is actually the process of processing pig iron into mature iron, and wrought iron is barely considered a steel with very low carbon content. However, in order to be processed into real steel, wrought iron must be heated and carburized and repeatedly forged. However, the ancients did not really distinguish wrought iron from mild steel, and they all referred to it collectively as wrought iron.

The production technology mastered by these folk iron stirrs is passed down from generation to generation through the relationship between master and apprentice, father and son, but the principle is not understood by few people at all, and the main thing that can be taught to the students is the operation process. Moreover, the production equipment, technological process, operation methods, etc. used in the Haihan smelting industry are different from the traditional smelting methods, and these trainees still need to receive further training before they can really operate after employment.

After reading the teaching of the smelting major, Ning Qi and his party visited the medical profession again. Medical staff is an indispensable profession in the social form that Haihan wants to build, and the proportion of medical staff in the areas under Haihan's rule is only about 2 to 3 per 10,000, far less than the more than 1 per 1,000 that the Executive Committee wants to achieve. Of course, there are many reasons for this situation, the main reason is that in the past, the scale of towns on Hainan Island was limited, and the Li and Miao ethnic groups in the mountainous areas accounted for a considerable proportion of the total population of the region, while professional medical personnel were only available in Han inhabited areas, so naturally there were not too many of them.

Although Haihan opened a health school to train professionals after he took his heels, the training cycle of medical and nursing professions is long, and the threshold is relatively high, so it is difficult to study medicine without a certain cultural foundation. In addition, the composition of Haihan's own medical staff is also a congenital trouble, there are a few nurses with relatively low technical content, but the real practicing doctors are Johnson and Morgan, two foreigners. In addition to the language and cultural barriers, these two people are both from Western medicine, and the medical methods they master are quite different from the theories of traditional Chinese medicine, and it is difficult to implement them in terms of medication and treatment. Therefore, later, the medical department also successively recruited a group of doctors and pharmacists from the Ming Dynasty to teach classes and take students, and they have graduated and taken up their posts one after another in the past two years.

However, with the rapid spread of Haihan's overseas colonies, the demand for medical personnel is still far from being met, and there are only three or four doctors stationed in the local area all year round, and there is no way to subdivide internal medicine, surgery, obstetrics, and pediatrics, and the medical services that can be provided are far from meeting the local needs. In the face of such a shortage of personnel, the only emergency response that Ning Qi, who is in charge of science, education, culture, and health, can think of is to mobilize non-governmental forces.

Although the training course of Jonesy College, which is based on short-term training and only instills basic knowledge, cannot teach qualified doctors, it can at least produce some barefoot doctors who can take medicine according to prescriptions. All they have learned are skills such as folk prescriptions, internal and external injury treatment, and first aid for midwifery, and even if they can't cure the disease, they won't kill people under normal circumstances. After completing their studies here, as long as they go to the Central Health Institute in Sanya for three months of further study, they can basically make do with their jobs, while the training period for nurses is relatively shorter.

Zhang Jinbao proudly introduced to Ning Qi and others: "Last year, a total of 35 people graduated from the medical and nursing majors of Qiongxi Academy, including 10 physicians, 20 nurses and 5 pharmacists, all of whom obtained the practice certificate issued by the Sanya Central Health School, and it is also the only one in Danzhou that offers medical and nursing majors that is fully qualified. ”

Ning Qi was a little impressed by this, because he was also one of the attendees at last year's year-end summary meeting of the health system, when Johnson summarized the achievements in the training of newcomers, he specifically mentioned that the quality of graduates of Jonesy College was good. Being able to hear praise from Johnson's mouth is a low probability in itself, so Ning Qi also paid attention to Jonesy Academy. At this time, hearing Zhang Jinbao's boasting, Ning Qi casually asked, "Where did the academy invite this teacher of the medical profession?"

Zhang Jinbao responded: "Back to the chief, when it comes to the teachers invited by the academy, this is a great deal. The three teachers of the medical and nursing department of the college are all famous doctors from Guangdong who have spent a lot of money, one specializes in treating bruises, one specializes in incurable diseases, and the other is an experienced pharmacist. Dr. Sheng, who used to treat the prefect in Fucheng, is also an apprentice of one of them. ”

Ning Qi nodded and praised: "In this way, you are willing to spend the capital, presumably the tuition fee of this medical profession is not expensive, right?"

Zhang Jinbao said with a dry smile: "Chief, the teaching cost of this medical profession is high, not only do you have to invite famous doctors to sit in the classroom, but you also have to contact the official and non-governmental clinics in Danzhou, so that these students can go to miscellaneous internships." Moreover, most of these students are from poor backgrounds, and they can't get the full tuition fees at once, many of them are paid in advance by the college, and they can't recover the tuition fees little by little after they graduate and join the company.

"You have enough reasons for this!" Ning Qi also really felt this guy's slippery after listening to Zhang Jinbao's explanation, but he didn't think there was anything wrong with Qiongxi College setting the tuition fee high, after all, the medical care industry under Haihan's rule was still a scarce type of skilled work, and the income was still quite good. As long as Jonesy College can let these students learn useful skills and make some money, it is reasonable, otherwise this education industrialization will not become an empty slogan?

After reading these three majors, it was already dinner time, Zhang Jinbao had already ordered someone to prepare a banquet, and Ning Qi and his party couldn't refuse: "Chiefs, today's banquet is completed by the students of the academy's cooking class, and you must also be sure to taste and evaluate it." ”

Ning Qi turned back to Fan Dimen and said, "The cooking class students here have prepared a dinner party for us, do you want to eat or not today?"

Fan Dimen followed Ning Qi around the academy for a day today, and at noon he ate some dry food in the carriage, and he was already so hungry that his chest was pressed against his back, and he replied seriously: "I think we should respect the fruits of the students' labor, and by the way, test their learning results here." ”

Ning Qi was secretly amused, but his visit to Qiongxi Academy was relatively pleasant, so he decided to fulfill Zhang Jinbao's wish and stay for dinner. Of course, this itinerary was not actually arranged by Zhang Jinbao boldly, but it had already been reported to Zhang Xin for instructions, and after being approved, he could speak out on this occasion and ask for Ning Qi's opinion. Zhang Xin had already sent someone to supervise the operation of the kitchen, so that no one would make any trouble in the unguarded place of the academy.

Zhang Jinbao said that it was a banquet made by the students, but in fact, it was the master who taught the students, and the ordinary students were just temporarily beating the tricks. Several masters of the culinary profession all have the qualifications to receive formal training in Shengli Castle, which can be said to be from an orthodox professional class, and the craftsmanship has also been passed down by Fan Wei, the top chef of Haihan, although this banquet is not as good as the official banquet of Shengli Castle, but it is definitely higher than the Haihan cuisine known as "authentic Shengli Fort taste" in the general town restaurant.

Of course, this kind of occasion is definitely a good wine. Zhang Jinbao not only prepared Sanya special wine, but also several other kinds of good wine that are common in the Guangdong market, and even rice wine produced in Jiangsu and Zhejiang has also prepared a jar. Zhang Jinbao has never touched the stool since he entered the table, and has been toasting back and forth with a wine jug and glass, and his combat effectiveness is also quite amazing.

After three rounds of drinking, under Ning Qi's roll call, Zhang Jinbao finally sat back in his seat. However, his mouth did not stop there, and immediately launched a lobbying offensive: "Leaders, this year, on the basis of the original courses, Jonesy Academy has submitted several new courses, but it is only a shallow study, and I don't know what aspects need to be prepared, if the leaders can give one or two pointers, the students of Danzhou University will also be grateful to Dade!"

Ning Qi drank a few glasses of wine, but his mind was still very clear, and he didn't faint because of Zhang Jinbao's flattery, and responded with a smile: "You don't have to go around with us, just say what you want to say!"

Zhang Jinbao was broken by Ning Qi, but he didn't feel ashamed of it, he laughed dryly and said: "Chief, there is one of the new courses submitted by the academy before, and Director Zhang said that it must be approved by the executive committee before it can be opened, so he wants to take this opportunity to ask your old man for instructions in person. ”

Ning Qi didn't ask him after hearing this, but turned his head directly to look at Zhang Xin. Zhang Xin nodded and said, "Yes, one of the new courses applied for by Jonesy Academy this year is a steam engine-related major. ”

As soon as Ning Qi heard about the steam engine, he knew that this project must have been stuck here in Danzhou. Whether it is manufacturing, use, or maintenance, all personnel who can directly contact the steam engine are under the control of the Ministry of Security, and the control of production and use technology is extremely strict. Not to mention recruitment, even recruitment is checked at all levels, and even needs to pass the political review. (To be continued.) )
