Chapter 42 It's better to recruit craftsmen

After the registration of Daming Airlines was completed, Liang Yunying, under the guidance of officials of the Ministry of Industry, drew up two standardized authorization agreements.

Zhu Jingyuan's patent agency agreement with Daming Airlines, and the patent licensing agreement between Daming Airlines and Daming Flying Machinery Company.

After all the business was processed and the time was almost noon, a few people had an official meal in the canteen of the business yamen.

In the afternoon, the three officials said goodbye and returned to work, and Wang Zhenyi accompanied Liang Yunying to Yaxing.

Most of the employees of the consortium's flying machine companies will be transferred from other departments with reduced reservations, and they will not directly recruit new people.

Wang Zhenyi followed Liang Yunying in order to discuss the future cooperation and mutual assistance between the two sides, and by the way, to guide Liang Yunying in the methods and details of recruitment.

The two "giants" of Daming's aviation industry (only the two of them at present) agreed on the general business scope of both parties on Liang Yunying's carriage.

Daming Flying Machinery Co., Ltd. is responsible for military aircraft, commercial high-end large aircraft, aircraft special engines, flight parameter research, test wind tunnel construction, etc.

Daming Airlines is responsible for the development and design of civil aircraft, small and medium-sized aircraft, private aircraft, universal aircraft, and various new functional aircraft.

The two sides diverge from the main business scope, give full play to their respective advantages, complement each other in the operation, and jointly promote the development of Daming Aviation.

When the two shopkeepers were almost finished, the carriage also rushed to the nearest Yahang Square.

There are not many people in Fengtai County's North Yahang Square, but now it feels very lively.

Beneath the huge tandem open canopy, several tall dental employees stand on several platforms, taking turns shouting and repeating existing job postings.

A tea shop, a sugar factory, a steel plant, a steam locomotive company, an industrial machinery company, and even an occasional shipyard.

The variety of company names, as well as the large number of job openings they offer, constantly irritates the eardrums of those around them.

There was a steady influx of unemployed workers, and at the same time, groups of workers followed by new managers who were neatly dressed and left.

However, there was also a group of people who also looked to be workers, but were in a slightly better mental state, and had been wandering around the square.

They looked at the notices, listened to the broadcasts, and all the time they looked hesitant.

Liang Yunying watched through the window in the carriage for a while, and said to Wang Zhenyi beside her with some uncertainty:

"Shopkeeper Wang, how do I think that the group of people in the middle of the square don't seem to be very concerned about these factories that are shouting to recruit workers.

"There are already factories that have shouted that they will be paid 4 yuan in silver bills plus 500 copper coins per month, and now they can be paid on a daily basis, but they are still hesitating......"

Wang Zhenyi was also observing the situation outside, and when she heard the question, she suddenly showed a faint smile:

"Madame really has a talent for business, and she can see the way here so quickly.

"Actually, this tooth shop is too close to the old city, and there are not many unemployed homeless people wandering here, and those who come and leave quickly are homeless.

"The people who are still wandering in the middle of the square to observe should have lived or worked nearby, and there are now working workers or men.

"They shouldn't be paid much now, it should be a little more than three yuan in silver, which is the minimum standard in recent years.

"Now, when they hear about the new company hiring here, they should want to try to change to a higher-paying job.

"They have a little bit of ability and time to continue to wait and see here.

"The more manufacturers are hiring, the more the remuneration is rising, and the more they will wait and see, waiting for whether there will be higher."

Liang Yunying said with some complicated feelings:

"It is true that there is a higher one, and our family Jingyuan ...... Alas, he said that he would give a reward of fifteen yuan a month, shopkeeper Wang, do you think this will be too high? ”

Wang Zhenyi was obviously taken aback:

"This ...... This is very high in the eyes of ordinary workers, and it can provide a family of four with food and clothing.

"You can even have a little surplus, and if you save a little as much as possible, you can also provide for a child to go to a county-level craftsman school.

"After graduating from the craftsman school in two years, you can get at least twelve yuan or more in silver bills.

"If you get the lowest grade certificate, the salary will start at 20 yuan in silver bills.

"So that the family can gradually jump from the low-income class to the middle-income class.

"So, isn't it because of ...... Your Highness comes from a wealthy background, so you don't know the labor market? ”

Liang Yunying thought back a little:

"He probably understood, so he specifically explained to me that the workers should be given fifteen yuan in silver bills, and the craftsmen with certificates should be given twenty-five yuan ......."

"But there are also some additional requirements, whether it is a worker or a craftsman, you can't find someone who is too old, and you have clean hands and feet, and your brain is flexible."

Wang Zhenyi thought about it for a few seconds, and felt that she understood Zhu Jingyuan's intentions:

"That's probably because what His Highness wants to do needs to be kept secret and can't divulge the intent of a patentable design.

"However, since Your Highness is going to pay the workers fifteen dollars and the twenty-five dollars to the junior craftsmen, do not immediately issue a notice in the tooth shop.

"Because the news of the opening of a large number of new manufacturers has not yet fully spread, the impact has not yet been completely fermented.

"Good enough workers don't know the news, or don't have the idea of changing jobs yet.

"Even if you take out fifteen yuan silver bills here, you can't directly recruit the best workers for the right time, and you can't spend more money for no reason.

"Madame, it is better to go to the craftsman school to recruit craftsmen.

"The monthly salary of fifteen yuan silver banknotes recruits craftsmen who graduated from county-level or prefecture-level craftsman schools and have not obtained grade certificates, and they are commonly known as small craftsmen in the industry.

"With a monthly salary of twenty-five yuan in silver bills, you can recruit junior craftsmen who have just obtained their certificates.

"Craftsmen who have just graduated or just passed the exam and have not yet worked in an ordinary factory can basically be regarded as flexible and honest.

"The first thing Your Highness needs to do is definitely design, and ordinary workers who do specific work don't need to be in a hurry.

"You can even directly use small craftsmen as workers, anyway, His Highness's salary has already been paid."

Since the Renwu period, the Ming Dynasty has built technical schools of different levels in various places, which are collectively known as craftsman schools.

After more than 100 years of development, it is now very mature.

There are four types of education models: county school, government school, specialized school, and university, and the school system is two years, two years, three years, and four years, which can be taken in succession.

Prefectural schools are practical and accelerated skills training, and on the basis of this, the prefectural schools provide systematic basic scientific knowledge impartation.

Vocational schools are similar to modern vocational secondary education, and ordinary junior high school students can also apply for the examination.

The university really has a university level, and it is directly regarded as a craftsman university, and regular high school graduates can also apply for it.

After graduating from the craftsman school, you can go to the examination for the craftsman grade certificate formulated by the imperial court, which has nine grades and eighteen grades like the official grade.

Graduates of county schools and government schools can participate in the grade assessment of junior craftsmen.

After passing the assessment, the certificates of "Junior Craftsman Certificate from Nine Products" and "Junior Craftsman Certificate of Zheng Nine Grades" will be issued respectively, and they can continue to be upgraded in the future.

Graduates of vocational schools and craftsman universities can directly participate in the intermediate craftsman grade assessment.

After passing, they will be issued with the "Intermediate Craftsman Certificate from the Seventh Grade" and the "Intermediate Craftsman Certificate from the Seventh Grade", and they are eligible to apply for the Yamen position of the Ministry of Industry.

Craftsmen with grades above the seventh grade must accumulate sufficient working years, apply for the examination separately and accept the evaluation of the competent yamen.

Liang Yunying listened carefully to Wang Zhenyi's explanation, felt that this suggestion was very appropriate, and nodded lightly with emotion and said:

"It's really nice to have the shopkeeper here, I really don't know how to find the most suitable workers, and I don't know how long it will take to get things done.

"Then I'll go to the school to recruit direct junior craftsmen, but I also ask the shopkeeper Wang for advice, what should I do? Going straight to school? ”

Wang Zhenyi immediately continued to explain:

"I do want to go to school, but not now, from the tenth to the fifteenth day of the first few days, the tooth shop will organize senior manufacturers to go to the school to recruit centrally.

"Students who graduated at the end of last year, regardless of whether they passed the grade exam or not, will basically return to school in these days to find a suitable manufacturer to work.

"We will now go to the dental store to register, and then in the six days from the tenth to the fifteenth day of the first month, we will go to several county schools and government schools in Shuntian Mansion in turn to recruit people.

"In the past few days, Madame and His Royal Highness can sort out the future business plan, and by the way, familiarize themselves with the future working environment."

Liang Yunying nodded lightly:

"Thank you very much, then I'll let people go to the dental store to register, and then let's go to the company to have a look."
