Take the arsenal to Da Ming

Chapter 86
While recruiting talents, Tangning created a directory by herself. There was a character on each page, introducing their basic information, which was also the most important identifying information.

Such as Song Yingxing, Huang Zongxi, Yu Chenglong, Wu Youxing, Wu Shu, Fang Yizhi, Gu Yanwu, Wang Fuzhi and so on.

These people are not everyone. Among them are scientists, medical scientists, inventors, historians, and philosophers.

There are even upright officials like Yu Chenglong, martial arts experts like Wu Shu, etc., all of which are the talents and support that Tangning urgently needs.

At first, Tangning also thought about open recruitment, but he quickly dismissed the idea.

Mainly because of his fame, Tangning's reputation has spread, especially his ability to calculate like Zhuge Kongming.

If he, Tangning, were looking for someone openly, even if the other party wanted to vote, they would be intercepted halfway.

If it was just intercepted, it would be a great crime if they killed them.

Therefore, Tangning could only settle for the next best thing, and made a directory to ask Xiao Wu to pay more attention. If these people came to Chaozhou Prefecture, or if there was any specific news about them, she would notify herself as soon as possible.

Now that Song Yingxing was discovered, the thirsty Tangning couldn't sit still. She immediately asked, "Where is Mr. Song now?"

"It's in Juxian Building."

Juxian Building was specially set up by Tangning to recruit talents. To put it bluntly, it was a talent market.

The Juxian Building is divided into two floors. The first floor is for ordinary talents. Those who feel that they have a certain skill in a certain area can recommend themselves or be recommended to enter the assessment.

However, to enter Juxian Building, you need to pay an application fee of one tael of silver. If you don't have money, you can borrow from Juxian Building with your ID card.

The reason for charging is not that Juxian Building wants to collect money through this method, but to prevent people without talent and learning from filling up money and affecting the normal operation of Juxian Building.

If the assessment is passed, not only will the money be returned on the spot, but it will also be recorded and recommended to places that need relevant talents.

If the assessment fails, the money will naturally be paid for the tuition, and the examination will not be allowed within half a year.

The second floor of Juxian Tower is reserved for elite talents.

You need to pay an application fee of two taels of silver, but if you pass the examination, not only the two taels of silver will be refunded, but you will also be rewarded with 100 taels of silver on the spot.

Nowadays, people are no longer surprised to pass the first-level assessment, because many people pass every day.

Only by passing the second level can it be called really powerful, because the difficulty of the second level assessment has already been passed on.

It is said that there are many test questions that Mr. Tang personally wrote, and most people can't even understand them.

These exam questions also cover a wide range, including mathematics, optics, physics, chemistry and so on.

If you are a talent in this area, you have to be careful when you go up to the second floor, you may fall on the questions posed by Mr. Tang.

However, there are exceptions to everything. Yesterday, a boy of more than ten years passed the examination, and he still answered the questions asked by Mr. Tang, which seemed to be related to mathematics.

The boy was called Sun Yunqiu. He was poorly dressed and had a sallow and thin complexion. Just because he passed the examination, he got 100 taels of silver all at once. For him, he was definitely rich overnight.

That's not all, he was immediately recommended by Mr. Tang to enter Chaozhou Academy, all discounts, and the academy provided accommodation and meals.

It's a step up to the sky, and the future is limitless.

Such an opportunity can only be encountered in Chaozhou Prefecture.

Of course, the assessment is not all about answering questions. For many craftsmen, the skill at hand is the most important.

A few days ago, a sloppy old blacksmith passed the examination, and the 100 taels of silver made people really jealous.

I heard that he has been recommended to work in the Cannon Factory, which is the place Mr. Tang focuses on, and he no longer has to worry about food and clothing when he enters there.

A craftsman who was looked down upon before had a chance to turn around in Chaozhou Prefecture. It was all thanks to Mr. Tang.

Because of this, more and more artisans came after hearing the news, and most of them found satisfactory jobs. Everyone also realized that Mr. Tang attached great importance to artisans.

Outside the Juxian Building, there are people watching every day, wanting to see who has passed the second-floor assessment for the first time.

Among the men chatting together, one of them was taken aback for a moment, then rubbed his eyes vigorously, and said in surprise, "That, that, isn't that Mr. Tang?"

The rest of the people were startled, turned their heads quickly, and immediately exclaimed, "Yes, yes, it's Mr. Tang. Mr. Tang has come in person."

Everyone consciously moved out of the way. After reaching the steps of the Juxian Building, Tangning suddenly turned to look at the crowd and said, "Everyone is gathered here, is it because some people can't find a job?"

"Master Tang, we are working at night. When it's time for dinner, we will go to work after dinner." A big man who was chatting with him before boldly replied.

"Yes, yes. Thanks to Mr. Tang, as long as they have hands and feet and are willing to work, there should be no one in Chaozhou who can't find a job."

Tangning nodded slightly, looked at one person and asked, "With the money I earn, will the family be able to make ends meet?"

The big man nodded vigorously, and said gratefully: "Yes, yes, there are some leftovers, I want to save them up and start a family in the future."

Tang Ning's expression suddenly turned serious, and she sighed slightly, "Yes, there are still many people who haven't married yet. Only those who have a family can rest assured. I will take this matter to heart and try to find a way to help Let’s solve this big problem.”

Hearing this, the big man was so excited that tears filled his eyes, and immediately knelt down with a plop, "Thank you, sir, thank you, sir..."

Others also reacted immediately and knelt down together, even those who had already married.

At this moment, they wanted to kowtow to Mr. Tang, because there was no other way to express their gratitude.

"Get up, everyone, get up."

After everyone got up, Tangning continued, "Everyone is working. If you encounter unscrupulous factories or workshops that don't abide by our labor laws, please don't swallow your anger. You must bravely go to the chamber of commerce to report it and protect yourself. s right."

"I know, Master Tang, we know..."

"We know, thank you Mr. Tang for your concern..."

Tangning waved to everyone, and then walked into Juxian Building together with Xiao Wu, Song Yunwan and the others.

Watching Tang Ning go in, everyone started discussing excitedly.

"Master Tang still cares most about ordinary people like us."

"Yes, it is the greatest blessing for us common people to meet such a good official as Mr. Tang."

……

In a side room on the second floor of Juxian Building, two old men wearing square scarves stood in front of the window, overlooking the door not far below.

"Could this young man be that Tangning?" an older man on the left asked.

Another old man replied, "I heard that Tangning is very young. I just heard the people below call him Mr. Tang. That should be him."

"This young man is not bad. It seems that he is deeply loved by the people."

"Yeah, I heard that Chaozhou Mansion has undergone such a big change since he moved in. It seems that we didn't come in vain this time."

"Brother, what do you think the Juxian Building keeps my two brothers here? Aren't they going to take the exam? Why don't they take the exam?"

The old man stroked his beard and said: "I think they came here for you, third brother. Seeing that we are two brothers, so they invited me in together. The eldest brother is in favor of you, third brother. "

"Brother, don't flatter me like that. I don't think so. Unless that Tangning is ignorant, how could 'Fengxin Ersong' only know one thing?"

Just then, there was a knock on the door.
