Chapter 647 Literacy class, robbing talents
Craftsmen are divided from level one to level six, and their salary will also be different according to their position.
For example, in the military category, if the craftsmen who make cotton armor and fire guns are both level 5 technicians, their salary will definitely not be the same due to the technical content and importance of the position.
Those who make cotton armor will be talked about as light industry.
The monthly basic salary of first-level light industry is eight cents, and the maximum salary of sixth level is three taels and two cents.
Those who make muskets will be classified as heavy industry.
The monthly basic salary of first-level heavy industry is one or two taels, and the maximum level six is four taels.
The rating is evaluated by military weapons supervisors and officials who will serve as supervisors based on the comprehensive performance of craftsmen over the past few years. In order to prevent people from working but not working hard after obtaining senior professional titles, the rating will be conducted every two years. No matter how many levels you have before, the rating will be directly downgraded to level one, allowing you to start again.
These monthly salary after assessment is only basic salary. In order to increase the enthusiasm of craftsmen, piece-based system is an indispensable measure, and strict management and supervision are even more indispensable.
Because of his age, Bi Maokang has resigned as the military weapon supervisor and retired with the title of Grand Secretary of Dongge and returned to his hometown to retire.
The military weapon supervisor has been handed over to his disciple Zhang Jimeng as the leader, and Bi Maokang's nephew Bi Dengfu is the leader.
Judging from the information reported by the Jinyiwei, Zhang Jimeng and Bi Dengfu were still diligent and dedicated.
These two people inherited Bi Maokang's rigorous and pragmatic style and were never slacking off and passive in daily management. As long as they did not go home after rest, they would have to patrol around every morning and night after they arrived at work, while discovering and dealing with all kinds of big and small matters at any time. Their serious and responsible attitude also made craftsmen rarely slacking off.
Because of combining interests with literacy, the achievements of adult school have been very significant in the past six months.
When the school was first established, when the school was first established, the craftsmen's resistance was still very common when they heard Shangguan announce this regulation. Many people would discuss and complain in their spare time, saying that instead of taking a break to learn to read, it would be better to let everyone work overtime.
Most craftsmen believe that they rely on their skills to make a living, so what is the use of reading and reading?
This is something I never dreamed of living such a good life now. It is already a ancestral tomb. Isn’t it still a matter of being able to live such a good life now if I have too much literacy?
I didn't expect to be able to take the exam and become an official. That was the privilege of the Wenquxing. As a commoner who had just been abolished for a few years, I just wanted to support the whole family by craftsmanship.
Besides, if we really want to talk about it, officials may not be able to make as much money as we earn.
Liu Laoer, the only sixth-level technician in the Military Weapons Supervision, had a salary and piece count of six or seven taels of silver per month, and he looked like he was one hundred taels a year. The three sons in the family had two fours and one threes, and their masters had four, and they earned several hundred taels a year.
I didn't see Liu Lao Er showing off like that all day long. In winter, he actually wore deer leather boots, and the shoe shop sold four taels and two cents a pair. He was buried half a piece of soil, and he also spent several stones of grain to buy these torn boots. When he saw people, he deliberately lowered his head and bent down to wipe the non-existent soil on the boots, for fear that others would not see the same thing. I bah!
This was not the time to pick up vegetables and eat leaves at my doorstep back then.
The villain will succeed.
However, when Shangguan mentioned that literacy was related to salary, all the complaints disappeared immediately.
This is the rule set by the court. After eating good meals for several years, they are rewarded by the court. Don’t say anything. We have to do whatever the Shangguan said. Otherwise, if you say this job, you will knock it. Where can I find such a good job in the future?
The newly established adult school is divided into four classes, each class has forty seats. The tables, chairs and benches used are also described by Zhu Youjian according to the appearance of a later school. There are carpenters in the bureau, and the layout in the school is exactly the same.
Blackboards, chalks, and board erasers are all easy to make. The teachers invited old students to be old, with three taels of salary per month and two meals. The treatment is quite good.
Originally, Shuntian Prefecture posted a notice that when scholars were recruited to educate the craftsmen, most scholars believed that children were gentle when dealing with these old and cheap people, so there were only two old students who were forced to make a living, and the adult literacy class had to open two classes first.
But after the first month's salary was paid on time, the two old staff were proud and took out money to buy chicken, duck, fish and other ingredients in order to show off, and set up tables at their doorsteps. The whole family began to eat special food, so that they could demonstrate to their neighbors who had been laughing at them.
Unexpectedly, this incident soon spread in a small range. The next day, more than a dozen scholars came to Shuntian Mansion to register for the recruitment. As a result, there were only eight teachers in the adult class and the children class. After some comparison and selection, six people left behind in Shuntian Mansion, while the rest shouted loudly and left.
According to the news obtained by Zhu Youjian, after the initial stage of beating and scolding and getting angry, nearly a hundred people in the adult literacy class had more than eighty literacy, and most of the other craftsmen had more than fifty literacy recognition. Only a very small number of idiots with no more than twenty literacy recognition, and when the exam was over the year ended, they would cry.
The progress of the children's class is much better than that of the adult class, which is what Zhu Youjian is most concerned about.
Because they are in the stage of absorbing new things in large quantities and not worrying about other chores, there are a total of 150 students in the four children's classes every day, and the average number of literacy has exceeded 100, and some smart people even have nearly 200 literacy within half a year.
Such achievements not only made the teacher highly appreciate it, but also made Zhu Youjian happy. An old student even proposed to teach the child who had the most literacy in a year, so that he could take the path of imperial examinations and official positions. However, after being reported to the palace, he was ruthlessly rejected by Zhu Youjian.
Zhu Youjian just planned to let these children know how to read and read, and did not cultivate the old-style bureaucrats.
After the children generally know a thousand words, it is Song Yingxing, Joshua Chan and others who come to be their husbands.
They will impart basic mathematical knowledge to these children. By the time Fang Yizhi and Zheng Zhifeng, who were highly anticipated by Zhu Youjian, return, these craftsmen's children should have a certain mathematical foundation.
When he left Beijing and went to the West, Zheng Zhifeng received a secret order from Zhu Youjian, asking him to find ways to wander around the Western countries, inquire about the Westerners who have achieved success in mathematics, work, etc., and try every means to bring them to the Ming Dynasty, and at the same time, collect as many related books as possible and bring them back.
Zhu Youjian specifically instructed to go to the Netherlands and bring a Frenchman named Descartes to the Ming Dynasty.
That is a great man known as the "ancestor of modern science".
Unfortunately, Newton was born at this time, otherwise he would become a citizen of the Ming Dynasty in a few years.
Zhu Youjian instructed Zheng Zhifeng to recruit as many talents as possible no matter how much money it costs, and even give them titles, as long as they come.
