Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 88, Night Lessons

Xishan, as the sky gradually darkened, the afterglow of the setting sun turned the clouds in the west into red, and it was time for the bustling Xishan to call it a day.

"Handmade~handmade~"

Accompanied by the sound of the manager's voice, people who were tired all day put down their tools one after another, put them together neatly, and then gathered together in groups of three or four, walking towards the dining hall, On the one hand, we are also talking about the results of today's work.

"I pressed 2200 pieces of honeycomb coal today, and I can get almost 22 big pieces today."

"Brother Zhang, you are really good. I can't do it anymore. I didn't even get 2000 briquettes today."

"I just happened to have more than 2000, 20 eldest sons, and there are still more than 20 days before the Chinese New Year. I plan to work until the 27th of the lunar calendar. By then, I will be able to get 2000 Wen in Xishan. I can tear some cloth for my daughter and mother-in-law to make clothes, and buy some meat to live a decent year."

"Yes, I heard that our boss, Mr. Liu, also plans to give us annual leave. It is said that there may be a year-end bonus at that time. I don't know if it is true?"

"Nonsense, the year-end bonus."

"I wouldn't believe it in other places, but here in Xishan, I think it's still possible. Our boss is a kind person who really treats us well."

"If it weren't for the boss, we might freeze to death or starve to death. How could we still be able to eat enough and make money every day?"

"Yes, yes, Mr. Liu is the best."

"I also heard that if you don't go back during the Chinese New Year and work for Mr. Liu here in Xishan, the salary will be doubled. During the Chinese New Year, there will be a lot of fish and meat to eat. I am alone, and I am full, and the whole family will not be hungry. , I don’t intend to go back.”

"Next year, I plan to become a regular worker. From now on, I will be the same as the people in Xishan Village. As long as I work hard every day, I can earn hundreds of Wen a day, and 2 taels of silver a month."

"There are basically no expenses here. By then, I can save more than 20 taels of silver a year. I am going to settle down here in Xishan and bring my mother and younger sister along. Do you plan to come next year?"

"I don't know anymore. In fact, I really like it here. It's delicious and lively, and I won't be bullied. But at home...let's talk about it later."

"Let's go, finish your meal quickly, and go to night class. I have forgotten several of the ten characters I learned yesterday."

There are more than a dozen dining halls in Xishan, and each dining hall has become extremely noisy. After a day of physical labor, everyone urgently needs to replenish energy and water.

A big bowl full of noodles or rice, plus a spoonful of vegetables, and a big bowl of soup are the most comforting people at this time.

Because after dinner there is night class, this night class is not physical work, it can be regarded as a rest, so everyone is the most leisurely during dinner, as long as time permits, they will not be too anxious.

After dinner, it’s time for evening class. The place for evening class is also in a huge room, which is a bit similar to an auditorium. This auditorium is also specially designed, referring to the design pattern of later auditoriums. The seats are from low to high. , the higher the position at the back, so that the line of sight will not be blocked.

In the whole of Xishan, except for Liu Jin's three cheap apprentices, all the accountants and shopkeepers in Xishan can be regarded as scholars. At least, they know a lot of characters and can write them. This is the most basic. The arithmetic can also be calculated.

So these people were pulled by Liu Jin to train first, and then became teachers, and began to teach the workers on the Xishan side to read, write, and count. By the way, they brainwashed everyone and cultivated corporate culture and teamwork awareness.

The contents of the night class and the professors in the private school are naturally different. There are very few students in the private school, and the teachers who teach are at least scholars, and they also teach classics such as the Four Books and Five Classics.

Here it is completely different, the content of the teaching is simple, at least some simple, commonly used, and common words, simple arithmetic, and the purpose is to make these workers more convenient to manage.

Workers without any education at all can only do manual work, and they don't understand anything that requires technology, and it is difficult to teach them.

In particular, Liu Jin is not satisfied with everything now, but also thinks about whether he can implement some industrialized things in the future. Naturally, people with some knowledge and culture are needed to do things.

For example, the simplest calculation of weight and length, if a person who has no culture at all and who can't count, he will naturally have a black head and it will be difficult to do things well.

And as long as some basic knowledge and mathematics are taught, they will naturally be able to understand some, and the dissemination of knowledge also carries the dissemination of ideas and concepts, which is more convenient for Liu Jin to implement various management and systems.

To put it simply, the matter of asking everyone to cut their hair, if they are scholars, their inherent concept is naturally that their parents dare not damage their body, hair and skin, and neither the hair nor the hair on their body can be damaged at all.

They have never thought about it, the hair is too long, the beard is too long, it is inconvenient for life and work, scholars have status and status, naturally they have someone, time, and conditions to take care of them, but ordinary people at the bottom have no time There is no condition to take care of it, so it is better to cut it off.

If such concepts and concepts can be promoted, people will naturally not have any rejection of hair cutting, and after understanding its benefits, they will shave their own hair.

This is why Liu Jin has to spend a lot of money to impart knowledge to these bottom-level people, because what needs to be changed is not only pockets and identities, but also thoughts and brains.

The night classes at Xishan are very popular, because for these top-level people, they are all illiterate, and they can understand very, very few words. For Xishan, it teaches everyone to read, read, and do arithmetic for free. Everyone cherishes this opportunity very much.

In fact, everyone is very eager for reading and knowledge, because in this era, scholars are people with status and status. No matter where they go, scholars can eat well.

The book has its own house of gold, and the book has its own Yan Ruyu.

In this era, the value of knowledge is very great, because they are illiterate, because they can't count, these people at the bottom have suffered a lot and been fooled.

Now there is an opportunity to learn literacy and arithmetic. Naturally, no one will miss such a good opportunity.

Many people come to the auditorium for evening classes after breakfast early, and try to occupy the front seats as much as possible, so that they can see and hear more clearly.
