Chapter 114 Work-study

Then it was October 11th.

Because from now on, he would no longer be watching the government but managing it, so Jiao Shun rushed to the Yamen in advance.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he answered the call at the corner gate, before he could reach the handyman's office, he was blocked by two clerks, saying that Zhao Yi, the head doctor, had invited him.

Tsk~

Because the attitudes of his colleagues in the Yamen had changed a lot in recent days, Jiao Shun thought that Zhao Yi would do the same, but he never expected that he would be suddenly attacked again.

Since he sent someone to stop him halfway, he would definitely not give himself a chance to prepare calmly.

So Jiao Shun didn't bother to delay, and followed the two clerks to the Baigong Division in a very bachelor manner.

Unexpectedly, after entering the living room of the main hall, he saw Zhao Yi, the chief minister, accompanying him. The person sitting behind the case was Su Youlin, the right servant.

This Mr. Su is the leader of the die-hard faction in the Ministry of Industry. I don’t know whether Zhao Yi specially invited him to come to calm down the situation, or whether he came to the door on his own initiative to give him a blow.

But no matter what is going on, I’m afraid it’s all from bad intentions!

Sure enough, as soon as Jiao Shung came forward to greet him, Zhao Yi asked straight to the point: "Previously, I asked you how you want to govern, and you excused yourself by saying that you would observe the administration for a few days. Now that the period of observing the administration has passed, do you have any thoughts?

How are you going to administer the government? Let’s do it one by one in front of the minister and the official!"

Bah~

This shameless double standard dog!

He had scolded himself before, saying that only Jinshi could use the word "Guanzheng". Now when it was his turn, why didn't he avoid it?

While Jiao Shun was cursing in his heart, he took out the plan and proposal written by the fourth revision last night from his sleeve. He held it up with both hands and said: "The official has already understood what he has learned and the policies he is going to implement in Baigong Institute."

The policies will be compiled and summarized in a book, and I will ask the two adults to review them and correct them."

When Zhao Yi saw this, he immediately tilted his chin towards the public case and said, "Send it up."

Jiao Shun stepped forward and placed the manuscript on the table, then returned to its original position.

Su Youlin picked it up and flipped through it, then threw the manuscript back on the table with a look of disdain on his face, and gave a four-word comment: "It's unsightly."

Jiao Shun also knew that he couldn't handle calligraphy with calligraphy - in fact, his writing with pencils and pens was just as ugly - and he originally thought about asking Zhao Yan to help him copy it again after he got to the Yamen.

But wasn’t it true that just after the front foot arrived, the back foot was called to the office?

Zhao Yi glanced at the manuscript that was thrown on the table, and had no intention of picking it up to read it carefully. He directly ordered: "What insights do you have and what policy principles have you learned from it? Please tell me in general first.

.”

"yes."

Jiao Shun accepted the offer and began to speak at length.

He believes that the current problems of handymen's offices are: First, the big pot and fixed wage mechanism make the craftsmen lack the motivation to actively work, resulting in low production efficiency.

Second, the quality of grassroots managers is too low, and they are unable to guide craftsmen to burst out with enthusiasm for work, and find it difficult to understand the guidance and instructions of superior leaders.

In addition to bullying the superiors and concealing the inferiors, they also blindly use punishment to exert pressure.

Occasionally there are material rewards involved, but there are also many ill effects of lining one's pockets and showing favoritism.

It is precisely for this reason that this method of inducing others to gain benefits has been criticized by officials from the Ministry of Science and Technology in recent years, and these criticisms have made the Ministry of Industry dare not easily use material incentives again, thus leading to a further vicious circle.

And then...

He wanted to go on, but Zhao Yi was impatient and interrupted directly: "These ills are well known to all, so there is no need for you to elaborate here. Let me ask you, do you have any solutions?

"

Jiao Shun replied: "I dare not say that I can solve these chronic diseases, but it should be possible to calm down a little."

"Calm down?"

Zhao Yi sneered and was about to ask what happened when Su Youlin stroked his beard and said, "The regulations of the imperial court are not something that your small office can criticize."

Jiao Shun replied again: "My lord, the minister, has misunderstood. I have no intention of changing the old system."

Seeing what Jiao Shun said, Zhao Yi added a footnote: "Now let alone the department, there is no spare money in the department for you to do whatever you want!"

"Even lower-ranking officials do not need internal funding."

Jiao Shun answered fluently: "I also hope that the Ministry can help to make connections and divert some input from our Baigong Department to help the Ministry of Rites to relieve its difficulties."

"Um?"

Su Youlin finally showed some surprise, exchanged glances with Zhao Yi, and then ordered: "Tell me quickly."

"I wonder if you, your lords, have ever heard of the embarrassment of government-run elementary schools in various places?" Jiao Shun said: "To be honest with you, my lords, I also studied in the elementary school in Fang Nei. As the scholars criticized, there are many people there except

If you can understand some words, there will be almost no benefit at all."

"Even the teachers there don't think that the students they teach have the knowledge to read."

"At the same time, all kinds of daily expenses are increasing day by day, making it difficult for ordinary people to afford them. Therefore, every time it is time to recruit students, in order to attract students, slaves from wealthy families who have considerable savings have become the targets of their efforts."

"And because most of the professors' children were slaves, the tutors became more and more perfunctory - and this cycle continued, and the private school naturally became worse and worse!"

[Contents related to government-run elementary school have been summarized in Chapter 28.]

Because they were all talking about Meng Xue, and after listening for a long time, there was nothing about the Ministry of Industry. Zhao Yi frowned and wanted to interrupt Jiao Shun, but suddenly he heard Jiao Shun's words changed: "So I thought it would be better to organize all the

The elementary school is connected with the workshop of my handyman's office, which solves the problem of difficulty in enrolling elementary school students and lack of money and food."

"Secondly, we can also appropriately improve the cultural level of the craftsmen's children - those private school teachers can't teach much reading skills, but they are more than enough to teach the craftsmen's children literacy - and then select suitable management talents from them so that future government orders can be carried out."

"Thirdly, we can use this to induce the craftsmen to work hard and reverse the current trend of redundant work and slow work and muddling through."

After hearing these words, Su Youlin exchanged glances with Zhao Yi again, and Zhao Yi sneered: "You said it lightly, but where should the money and food for the craftsmen's children come from?"

"Of course it is made by the craftsmen themselves!"

"ha!"

Zhao Yi sneered and said disdainfully: "You just said that the fees for elementary education in various places are increasing day by day, making it difficult for ordinary people to afford it. Is it possible that all the craftsmen in your factory come from middle-class families?"

"Your Majesty, please forgive me."

Jiao Shun said neither humble nor arrogantly: "I said that the money for admission will be paid for by the craftsmen themselves. In fact, I hope to introduce evaluation of working hours and quantity in various workshops."

"This evaluation does not involve salary, but it can be used to reduce the expenses of craftsmen's children studying in elementary school, and even the cost of food and accommodation."

"As long as we make it clear several months in advance, in the future, those management positions that do not involve grades will be given priority to children who have graduated from elementary schools. Coupled with these reductions and exemptions, some craftsmen will be happy to work and study."

"In this way, the output of the workshop will definitely increase. At that time, the institute will intercept part of the money and use it as the first batch of student aid."

When Su Youlin and Zhao Yi heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other.

This workshop is linked to the elementary school, and the method of assisting students through hard work is to be honest, it is to induce profit and force the craftsmen to work hard.

But the wonderful thing is that it has a cover of helping students, so even the most disdainful of science and education officials who are most disdainful of "inducing them for profit" may not be able to openly question it.

Moreover, the method of educating the children of craftsmen and then selecting management talents is most in line with the appetite of these civil servant groups.

What's more, in this way, the much-criticized government-run elementary school can also be revitalized, which can be said to be two birds with one stone for the court.

this……

How can they object and refute this?!

"And then there's that."

Jiao Shun's long speech was not over yet: "The lower official plans to select a group of old and frail but skilled craftsmen in workshops in various places to teach the skills to the children of craftsmen in Mengxue. Even if the students they teach cannot serve as

In managing things, you can also improve your skills."

After a pause, he added: "Of course, if ordinary students are interested in these skills, they can also pay an additional fee to practice and observe."

"And all these extra incomes belong to the craftsmen who teach - this is how it can be called 'the old are supported and the young are educated'."

As soon as these last eight words came out, Su Youlin and Zhao Yi's faces became more and more mixed.

Two dignified officials with Jinshi background were taught face to face by a young boy who had just escaped from slavery the principle of "the old should be supported and the young should be educated".

The two of them had to admit that this young boy's plan actually made some sense and was feasible in practice.

But Zhao Yi still couldn't help but nitpick, and sneered: "Those craftsmen cherish their brooms the most, so how can they be willing to work hard to teach their skills?"

"grown ups."

Jiao Shun had already thought of this and immediately replied: "The people they teach are also the children of craftsmen. They are inextricably linked to each other. Besides, there are many knowledgeable people in the students' families. How dare they blindly fool around?"

?”

"Besides, there is no need to ask them to show off their unique skills. As long as they are willing to patiently teach some basics and have exchanges and discussions among classmates, they will definitely be better than those ordinary craftsmen who are confused!"

Now Zhao Yi was speechless.

Mainly because he was in a hurry and couldn't think of any rebuttal arguments at the moment, so he subconsciously looked at the manuscript on the table, wondering if he could find any loopholes in it.

As a result, they found that Su Youlin had been silent, holding the "unsightly" manuscript and reading it with concentration.

Zhao Yi was speechless, so he could only wave his hand and said: "You can go down first, and let me have a look with the Vice Minister. After we discuss it, I will ask you for questions."

After Jiao Shun resigned, a long time passed before Su Youlin put down the manuscript in his hand and sighed quietly: "Your Majesty is indeed very discerning, and he was able to select such a talented person from among his slaves."

Zhao Yi looked at the manuscript and said, "Is it possible that your Excellency thinks too highly of Jiao Shun? Besides, this may also be the result of His Majesty's instruction. He is just greedy for God's merit."

Su Youlin shook his head, pointed at the manuscript and said, "Take a look for yourself. If you hadn't personally experienced some of the things in it, I'm afraid it would be difficult to be so comprehensive."
