I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 634 Craftsmanship Upsurge

Ships of rice were loaded ashore in Bangkok and shipped back to Guangzhou, Shanghai and Nanjing.

These three are the places where Dahua is currently focusing on development, with the largest number of workers gathered and the most food needed.

After a large amount of grain was piled into the warehouse, Dahua began to set off a new wave of working and learning arts.

"Free training, food, accommodation and church during the training period. After completing the training, the assignment of work is included, starting from 3 yuan per month. For those with difficult family backgrounds, they can pay half a year's salary in advance..."

Guangzhou, Panyu, Dazhou Village, the village chief is reading the decree of the imperial court to the villagers.

"Free training, what skills do you learn?"

A villager asked.

It is not easy to learn art from a teacher these days. Not only do you have to pay, but you also need to be obedient. You are often ordered by the master to be whipped, beaten and exploited.

How many people have gone crazy for the sake of learning a craft to earn a living.

But now, the government actually said that there are free skills to teach, which is a super new thing.

"There are many things that can be learned, such as making watches. Have you ever seen a watch? This is the thing. The cheapest watch costs five yuan. If it wasn't for the imperial court to give me one, I couldn't even afford it.

This thing is used for timing, and every breath can be recorded accurately for you every moment. "

The village chief stretched out his wrist, wearing a rather rudimentary watch on it.

For the most basic civil servants, this is already quite good.

Moreover, grassroots cadres in places like Nanjing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou are allocated. In places like Northwest China, even county magistrates are not allocated. If they want, they have to pay for it themselves.

Although the watch is simple, in the eyes of the villagers who have never seen the world, this watch is as exquisite as an artifact.

They only dared to take a look, and they didn't dare to continue when they stretched out their hands halfway, for fear that they would damage the treasure.

"In addition to making watches, you can also learn to make steel. It's the latest iron-making method, but it's not the kind of blacksmithing in our village's blacksmith shop. You can also learn all kinds of carpentry work, repair machines, all of which are very useful. ability."

said the village chief.

Hearing the village chief say this, many people began to be tempted.

"Sounds very good, learn a craft, and you won't have to worry about eating and drinking for the rest of your life."

"And it doesn't cost money to learn this art. This is much better than going to Carpenter Zhang to learn carpentry life."

"More than that, the village chief also said that as soon as he learns, he will be assigned jobs and start making money. If you follow Carpenter Zhang, if you want to become a teacher, you have to work for him for free for a few years."

After the imperial court issued this decree, the carpenter Zhang from their village was continuously pulled out and whipped.

When the villagers met Carpenter Zhang before, they all had to nod and bow to please. After all, in the surrounding villages, Carpenter Zhang was the only carpenter who could make coffins and furniture, which was very popular.

If you want to learn medicine from Carpenter Zhang, you have to suffer a lot.

Moreover, even if he suffered those hardships, he would still have to accept Zhang Carpenter's favor in the future.

After all, people have taught them the ability to eat, which is a great kindness.

Respecting the teacher and respecting the Tao is a virtue, but once a bad person takes advantage of this virtue, the tragedy caused by it is much more serious for the serious bad person.

After all, bad people can be caught directly if they do bad things, and these so-called mentors can't do anything about them if they do bad things.

In the past, it was so difficult to learn art, and there were still people who wanted to learn art in order to make a living, let alone now.

With such a good training policy, people don't know how long it will last, and whether they will lose their seats because too many people go there.

Therefore, not long after the decree was publicized, the schools that were temporarily set up in Guangzhou were crowded with people who came to learn art.

"Uncle, you are too old. We only recruit people under the age of 30. You should go back to farming and leave this opportunity to future generations."

The staff in charge of registration said helplessly, and in front of him stood an old man who was at least fifty years old.

It takes a lot of money to train a worker, so it is natural to consider maximizing efficiency.

Even if a fifty-year-old man learns it, how many years can he do it?

During this period, fifty years old is already considered an old man. Not only is his strength weaker, but he also suffers from many illnesses, and he may give up at any time.

"You didn't say that the old man was not allowed on the notice."

The old man was very stubborn. He was actually here for the half-yearly salary in advance.

"Old man, go away, shameless, can you still carry a hundred pounds on your back?"

"If you don't dodge, we'll throw you out."

The other young people who came to sign up roared and mocked the old man.

"The world is getting worse and worse, and the morality of respecting the old and loving the young is gone. I disdain to learn my skills in such a place."

The old man left angrily, he couldn't stand so many people making fun of him collectively.

"Hahaha......"

The crowd laughed.

A little interlude did not affect the registration.

In the distance, several traditional craftsmen gathered together, watching the fiery registration event in the distance, and their hearts were sour.

Dahua came up with such a trick, and they were the ones who suffered the most.

After that, there will be no more obedient disciples to send.

This will make them lose a lot of income, and lose some people who call them,

It even loses some sense of superiority.

They are no longer regarded as great masters, and no one looks up to them, which is quite painful for them, more painful than the loss of money.

"Hmph, how many masters teach so many students, so that they can learn real skills?"

Carpenter Zhang snorted coldly.

"I heard that what they learn will be very simple. One person only needs to know part of it. In the future, each person only needs part of it."

Another craftsman who made baskets said.

"That kind of skill is still a craft? Let them be happy for a while, and when they find out that they can't learn something, they still have to come and beg us."

Carpenter Zhang said.

"I'm afraid this is difficult. One of my apprentices told me directly yesterday that he would not study and would go to a training school, but it made me mad."

Another craftsman complained.

In his opinion, Dahua spends so much silver taels to carry out this kind of skill training with great fanfare, and it must be effective.

The government, it is impossible to mess around.

This means that they will definitely be more and more sad in the future.

"It seems that we have to be nice to our apprentices, and we must not let them all run away."

"Oh, the world is changing so fast, it's becoming more and more incomprehensible."

"Yeah, I taught so many people craftsmanship at one time. Why do these people have so much work in the future? So many people don't go to grow food, what will they eat in the future?"

......

These craftsmen sometimes complained and sometimes sighed.

Dahua's drastic changes have already left them at a loss.
