Chapter 93 Recruiting Talents 3
Master Liu is very busy now. He has taken over the big project of building a hospital by the county government. He needs a lot of people, because he has a verbal agreement with Li Mo that the recruited workers must be from Songjiang County. There is work to do.

But his concubine, Aunt Lan, has a problem, why?Because Aunt Lan is from a neighboring county, when she went back to her mother's house a few days ago, she showed off that his master took over a major project in Songjiang County, and said that last year's factory construction and decoration of the cosmetics and clothing store were all undertaken by his master.

This made her parents very proud, and they praised how capable her son-in-law was when they met. In fact, Master Liu could not be considered their son-in-law, their daughter was just a concubine.

So the neighbors, three aunts and six wives, who usually look down on Aunt Lan as a concubine, all came to her door, saying that there must be a lot of people who want to take on such a big project, and they must take care of her mother's side first anyway.

As for the master level, they also wanted to arrange people to come in before, but they were squeezed out very badly. Just kidding, if you learn it, we will be unemployed. Who wants to take them, and the interference of the main wife did not let them succeed.

So all kinds of sarcasm came, their daughter's concubine is just a concubine, and her words have no weight at all, and she can't even do this little favor.

The world is different now, these people are very talkative, and they praise her parents for having a good daughter and marrying a good family, but in fact the concubine is not married, she can only say that she entered the family.

After being flattered by others, her parents are very flattered. They used to look down on my daughter, but now they are still flattering our family to find a job.

It's not that there was no work before, it's just that it was scattered and the amount of work was too small. It would take a few days to build a villager's thatched hut or build a wall. It's different now. This is a big project, and it can't be completed in three to five months. .

"Master, do you think it's possible to arrange for those from my natal family to come over this time?" Aunt Lan whispered the pillow wind in Master Liu's ear again.

Master Liu rebuffed straight away: "I have enough masters on my side, I can't arrange any more."

The most important thing is to save money. The salary of a master is different from that of a small worker. These masters have been with him for many years, and they made their fortunes at the beginning, and most of them are from their wives and natal families.

"It's not a big worker, it's a small worker. You see, these people are my aunt's son-in-law, my second uncle's son-in-law, my sister-in-law's relatives, etc. They are all relatives, so it's hard to refuse."

Aunt Lan was talking, but her hands kept moving, which made Master Liu's heart itch.

But he was very clear-headed: "This is not right. I have already promised the county magistrate that no foreigners can be recruited. Besides, the recruitment of small workers is arranged by the master."

"There are not many people. Does the county magistrate want to find out where you got this little worker from?"

"The wages of the small workers are given by the yamen, so it's not good to be found out?"

"Oh, master, why are you so inflexible? These are trivial matters. Even if they are known, it is impossible to stab the county magistrate."

Aunt Lan is upset, she can't do this little thing well, and no one will think highly of her in the future, especially her sisters-in-law, if it wasn't because she was favored, they would take some money or buy valuables to go home soon, they would His face will only make people more disgusting, and he can say anything.

Aunt Lan talked all kinds of things, but Master Liu didn't dare to agree. If he was found out, the county magistrate would hand over the project to someone else, and he would lose even more.

Aunt Lan was so angry that she ignored Master Liu all night.

"Master, do we have enough funds to build a school?" Li Mo asked the master.

The master is really afraid that Li Mo will ask about the money, the county magistrate is a big project, and the warehouse can be emptied in the blink of an eye.

The master really doesn't want to care about the money, it's fine if he can't see the money, it's pure if he doesn't see it.

But he was responsible for all the bills, and all the money was just spinning around in his hands, and it was gone before it was warmed up, and my heart felt cold.

Part of the money returned from the mopping up of Yueyun Mountain has already been used to build a hospital. I thought the remaining money could be saved and spent slowly, but the county magistrate is still thinking about building a college.

After the hospital is built, it will continue to pay for it, not to mention the academy, which is a money-losing business.

The master asked cautiously, "How much money do you want, my lord?"

The master has seen Li Mo's sketch of the college, which is big enough and magnificent enough. I am afraid that only the capital can have such a big college. Sitting in it is a kind of enjoyment.

Li Mo: "Bring Master Liu over to make a budget."

Li Mo originally wanted to build the school when he had more money, so he decided to build the hospital first.

I turned around and thought, since we want to build it, let’s go together. Those who want to enroll will not be able to enroll in a short time, and many people have to do ideological work during this process.

The nine-year compulsory education is not so fast that people can accept it. At least within this year, everyone will have a skeptical attitude. They are more willing to let the children work in the fields, and they will come and go. There is a fart in Songjiang County.

When Master Liu received the notice, he was taken aback again. The hospital hasn't been built yet, so why build a college?Is Yamen so rich now?

The county seat is too small to accommodate such a large school, and it is built outside the city just like the hospital.

Standing on the wasteland outside the city, looking at both sides of the road, there are clothing factories and cosmetics factories on one side, and a hospital under construction on the other. Master Liu saw that Li Mo had arrived, and hurried over.

Master Liu: "My lord."

Li Mo: "Let's take a look at the address of the school together."

Whether it is a clothing factory or a cosmetics factory, they are far away from the road. Even if this area develops in the future, it will not affect the traffic.

The wasteland that no one cares about has become a sweet pastry. Some people have already started to inquire about the surrounding land prices. This is a good sign. I believe that houses will be built one after another before the end of the year.Or should the county government come forward to build a house and rent it out to form a commercial street?

Cough cough, think too much, there are still a lot of things ahead.

Li Mo pointed to the open space next to the hospital and asked the master: "The school is built next to the hospital, what do you think?"

The master was thoughtful: "My lord, the college, the hospital, the clothing factory and the cosmetics factory are all outside the city, so there is nothing in the city." The big buildings are all outside the city, and there is only one yamen inside, which is bigger. What does this look like? .

Li Mo looked at the thriving scene outside the city: "What are you afraid of, just include this part of the county in the future."

The master was dumbfounded: "This one?"

Li Mo looked at him amusedly: "This is just the beginning, and it will be more than that when it develops in the future."

Li Mo pointed to the large open space behind the garment factory: "Including those, it will be the county seat of Songjiang County, and the city walls will also be rebuilt. The gates will be open at [-] o'clock to facilitate the entry of people outside the city."

Master didn't hear anything else, only heard that the city wall was going to be rebuilt, how much would it cost?

Master Liu is very good at talking: "My lord, I think it is feasible for the college to be built here, and the space is wide enough."

This does not mean flattering, it is a fact, to build such a big college, the city is so big, how can there be room?
To run a good school, you must first recruit a team of teachers, and there are many things that need to be reformed. You can’t just teach according to the written content. The imperial examination is important, but how many people can actually go to the capital to participate in the imperial examination?

Let them combine practical and theoretical things, and they can't be a nerd who doesn't distinguish between five grains. The teaching textbooks must be revised, so they have to recruit teachers in advance.

Li Mo clearly told the teacher that the group of scholars who were in the teahouse at the beginning must not be hired, and such people who have lost their morality are not worthy of being a teacher.

When the county government posted the recruitment announcement again, everyone was dumbfounded, recruiting masters, and there were quite a few of them, recruiting both civil and military masters.

This gave the scholars a sense of superiority again, let's see if we are just sweets and potatoes.

99% of the scholars in Songjiang County are descended from Sunshan, which shows how difficult the imperial examinations are in this era.

The county government's recruitment of teachers gave them a glimmer of hope. Those whose families were poor and had no money to take the scientific examination felt that they could teach while studying, and then take the examination after saving enough travel expenses.

Recruiting a wife is much easier than recruiting salespeople and doctors, but Li Mo's requirements are very high and harsh.

Li Mo doesn't require the students in the college to make great achievements in the future, but they can't study hard, they must develop morally, intellectually and physically.

It is required that all teachers should not be rigid and ignorant of flexibility.

There are also ready-made arithmetic textbooks for arithmetic. Although it is a bit difficult and the content has not been updated for many years, it is not impossible to learn. Li Mo plans to add Arabic numerals to it.

Now everyone in the yamen and the sweet potato workshop of the cosmetics factory and clothing factory know Arabic numerals.

Due to the short study time, people in factories and workshops can still understand simple addition and subtraction, but they can't understand more complicated addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.

But Chinese is troublesome. Now all teachers are taking the imperial examination route, that is, teaching the Four Books and Five Classics, the Three Cardinal Guidelines and the Five Constant Rules.

And those things that Li Mo himself is familiar with are obviously not something that can be brought out in a fair manner, not to mention that it will arouse the vigilance of the entire ruling class. The productivity and production relations alone do not match. In this industrial revolution that has not yet been born In this era, every minute is life-threatening.

Li Mo: "Master, do you think we can change these things in the book?"

Master: "My lord, anyone who wants to take the imperial examination must study the Four Books and Five Classics."

"But learning these alone makes children feel boring, and it doesn't have much meaning in real life."

The master didn't understand why the version was changed, and he was more worried about the follow-up question: "The problem is that the teaching textbook has been changed, and if the higher-ups know about it, will there be any trouble?"

No matter how awesome Songjiang County is, it still belongs to a small county town of the Great Jin Kingdom. How small is it? Let’s put it this way, no one in the Golden Luan Hall should know the existence of Songjiang County, but once someone stabbed it in front of the emperor , It is not an exaggeration to punish the Nine Clans.

Li Mobai gave the master a look: "You are worrying about something blindly, and you are not trying to rebel. There is a country where there is a family. This is the truth that everyone understands. It is just a corresponding revision. For example, it is all classical Chinese. Can we compare Teach with plain words."

"Understanding the dignity and inferiority can make people obey orders honestly, but the world is not for a few people after all. What I want is that the people of Songjiang County can hold their heads high and know their family and country. Only then can they be loyal and brave, and let them live for themselves."

After Li Mo's explanation, the master suddenly realized that he had misunderstood it.

Li Mo went on to say: "What Songjiang County lacks is talents. After it develops in the future, we will have more industries to show in front of everyone. It is true that they cannot get fame. They will eventually face the problem of employment. Managers, accountants, documents, management The money and food officials in the treasury will also give priority to the children who come out of the school."

This is very different from the private school. After the private school comes out, it will either become famous in one fell swoop, or return to the original point.

This college really has a future, and it has such a long-term plan. I can suffer a little bit, but my children and grandchildren can't suffer any more. Learning more things and getting a better future is the real thing.

The only private school in Songjiang County——Yuanming Private School, there are several old guys sitting in the conference hall, and the owner of the private school is also a teacher of the private school—Master Feng.

Master Feng: "What do you mean by the county magistrate?" It was about the county government's recruitment of masters.

Master Chen stroked his beard and kept shaking his head: "It seems that the county officials don't like us and want us to disappear from Songjiang County."

Mrs. Wang: "Impossible. He didn't say he would shut down our private school. Your worries are unnecessary."

Master Chen: "Master Wang, your heart is really big. The county government must recruit so many masters, it must be to set up a school, who will come to us to study at that time, we can only go home and enjoy our old age."

Master Chen looked at Master Feng: "Master Feng, why don't we just ask the county magistrate what he means?"

Master Feng hesitated: "No, if I go directly, will I be scolded?"

In fact, I am more afraid of being beaten. I heard that the county magistrate beats people at every turn, and there are quite a few people who have been beaten by him.

Those old men with old arms and legs will lose face if they are beaten by the county magistrate.

"He dares, how can we say that he is also born as a scholar, and he is also famous. Why should the magistrate beat us? Is there any law for this?"

"You don't know, someone was beaten some time ago, and he was beaten badly."

"At our age, if he dares to beat us, I'll just lie in front of him and let the people of Songjiang County judge."

"This is not acceptable. It's degrading and it's not good to be seen."

"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, so what should we do? Are we really going to retire and return home?"

"I think it's good to retire and return home. Our family has planted a lot of sugar cane and tea trees now, so I can take care of my grandson with peace of mind."

"No promise!"

Everyone is frowning and doesn't know what to do. Now there are not many students in private schools, and there are not many people who can afford to read.

The interviews of the master will be conducted intensively two months later, but after the recruitment information is posted, the number of people who want to apply has exceeded 300. This is not the real number of people who will be interviewed two months later, but the data on the gossip .

The age of the applicants varies, the oldest may be more than 60 years old, and the youngest is only in his early twenties.

There are too many people, why are they all rushed together?Alas, how many students can a school recruit? What if they are squeezed out?Very shameless.

In this world, it's hard to have enough food, so how can you have spare money to practice?When the children are a little older, they also have to help with the housework.

Not to mention these ordinary people, even for scholars who are determined to achieve fame, it is really difficult to take the imperial examination.

The life of these scholars is even more difficult. Those who are capable and well-connected all go to the yamen to seek errands. If they count better, or if they are smarter, they can also find jobs like accountants and clerical work. All I could do was set up a stall on the street, read and write letters for others, and barely make a living.

Those who have no skills and can’t hold back their face, really don’t know what to do, let’s grow old, their parents have no money, don’t want to grow old, can’t lift their own hands, can’t lift their shoulders, nine out of ten people can’t look down, they’re useless scholar.

Li Mo planned to open the soap factory next door to the cosmetics factory. When the cosmetics factory was built, the factory building was large enough, and the cosmetics factory only occupied a small part.

The problem now is that if the soap is made, how to sell it is really a big problem.

Some of the surrounding counties can be sold, but that is just a drop in the bucket, the sales volume is too small, Li Mo's plan is to sell it all over the country.

But so far, only the scholar came for an interview last time, and no one came again. I don’t know what these people think, are salespeople so cheap?

There is also the doctor, no one came for the interview, it seems that I have to go everywhere to find people, one by one, and hire them with high salaries, I don't believe that no one came.

Li Mo decided to explore the road first before opening a soap factory, but he always failed to pass the test by relying on others.

However, something happened to Yang Danni before she went out.
