Chapter 93 Literacy

Yang Yuanzhao did not expect that this recruitment of Baoken Company would attract so many people. Not to mention the middle-aged men in Baotou, even the surrounding people attracted a lot. Looking at the surrounded Baoken Company, he couldn't help but shake his head.

Fortunately, the location of Baoken Company is a small building in the Baotou Chamber of Commerce in the past. For convenience and safety, there is not only one main entrance, but also a back door. It is in the alley next to it. Yang Yuanzhao shifted his footsteps and walked into the alley. Soon, he came to the front of a courtyard with only two rooms.

He knocked on the door gently, and there was a movement inside. A head stretched out. Seeing that it was Yang Yuanzhao, he hurriedly ran out in panic and said, "Boss, you are here!"

Liu Quan was a servant of the Liu family and had followed Liu Shu for many years. After the establishment of Baoken Company, he was appointed as the captain of the guard by Liu Shu to protect the entire Baoken Company. He was very clear about Yang Yuanzhao's status in this Baoken Company.

"Okay, where is your young master?"

"Just in the office!" After Liu Quan said that, he hurried forward and led Yang Yuanzhao forward.

Yang Yuanzhao knew about this back door, but he had never walked through two houses. In the backyard, there was a very hidden small door, just in a corner of the woodshed. After entering, he came to a small room of Baoken Company. The small room was closed. Obviously, with the help of the building, there was no door. Then, he went up the stairs and came out from an inconspicuous small house on the second floor.

It was indeed hidden. Even if there was something wrong with Baoken Company, he could follow here and quickly escape from the back door. Yang Yuanzhao exclaimed, and he knew the next way and found Liu Shu's office along the corridor.

At this time, there were a large number of documents piled up in the office. Liu Shu and three other officials were looking for something in the documents. When Liu Shu heard the noise, he asked almost without looking back: "Is it Liu Tang? Just get me the new recruitment form!"

Liu Tang was another servant, unlike Liu Quan's Kong Wu. He was very knowledgeable about literature and was also Liu Shu's book boy back then, and was responsible for copywriting. After the establishment of Baoken Company, most of the work was handed over to Liu Shu, and Liu Tang also became Liu Shu's assistant.

"Brother Zelin, how are you doing? How many people have you recruited?"

Hearing that it was not Liu Tang's voice, Liu Shu was stunned for a moment, raised his head, and smiled bitterly, "You made this stall for me, you're like a manager, why do you have time to come today!"

"I went to the construction site, but I'm here to see how the staff recruitment is?"

"At present, 1,000 people have been recruited, but Yuan Zhao, what do you want so many people to do?"

"Of course it's working. Cement plants are different from flour mills and brick mills. They are truly large enterprises and require a lot of manpower."

Liu Shu looked at Yang Yuanzhao's relaxed look and said with a bitter expression: "You pay so much, not only laborers from all over the countryside have come to me. Even in my hometown, some people have learned the news and come one after another. What do you think you will do!"

"Do what to do. If it really doesn't work, just send it back!" Yang Yuanzhao said with a frown. China's clan power has always been annoying. This is also the fundamental reason why he is not developing among the four majorities. It may be much better for a while, but for a long time, it has been the biggest drawback for modern industries.

"It's easy to say, who doesn't have many poor relatives!"

"That's it!" Yang Yuanzhao thought for a while and tried to say: "The flour mill has already started production. It's not that there are some sales indicators, but there are brick and tile factories. At worst, I can give them a batch of this, which can be considered an expansion of sales!"

Flour and bricks are relatively scarce. Although the latter will lose money when transported to Taiyuan, there are always people who move to new homes in all villages. A group of people will be brought up to do the project, and a small batch of bricks can be sold. Although the first kiln has not yet come out, Liu Shu, as a senior manager of Baokening Company, also controls the situation there. It is very good. The machine operates continuously, and a kiln is started within almost a week. Now, it is the second kiln. It is estimated that the lively scene will be opened.

Among poor relatives, they are also divided into different distances and far away. When they come to Baotou, they want to ask for a job. This kind of person is a relatively indifferent relationship. They are also very self-aware, will not make excessive demands, and work steadily. If it is really appropriate, Liu Shu will still stay. If the closer relatives, a batch of flour and bricks, it will be worthwhile to run so far.

Yang Yuanzhao picked up a record casually, which was what Liu Shu did after he told him. He had to follow the previous rules, just write a document, or simply not write it, and just explain it verbally, and complete the recruitment process.

Yang Yuanzhao is very clear about how important a perfect archive is to the management of workers. In the early stages, an enterprise must be like a big family, so as to condense everyone's beliefs and build a powerful and efficient factory, and even some reports and summaries, which seem to be of little use, but the real controller can know from these reports what exactly happened in a factory.

If an entrepreneur wants to keep rising, he must focus on the big and let go of the small. Some underlying matters cannot be taken into consideration personally, but these original information can be summarized as the direction of a group's development, discover problems from the details and solve them in a timely manner.

The record is also quite detailed. From the name, age, gender, general basic characteristics, address, and family situation, they are all written clearly, but this name is somewhat varied. In the old days, except for those who have read books, the rest of the names of Chinese people were all varied. Everyone knows the saying that the name of a low name is easy to raise. There are many dogs, grassroots, two bulls, two bulls, three bulls, big dogs, two dogs, and three dogs, and there are quite a lot of people who have duplicated the names. Among the more than 1,000 people, this is the case, which makes Liu Shu and the others work hard.

Yang Yuanzhao nodded slightly and asked, "By the way, Brother Zelin, how many of these workers have studied?"

"Brother Yuanzhao, what do you want? Looking for scholars and the top scorer in the exam?" Liu Shu said in surprise.

Only then did Yang Yuanzhao realize that only a very small number of Chinese people in this era received education. Not to mention these rural villagers, even in big cities, less than 10% of them could read.

"Okay, I've recorded it all. There are 3 scholars, and more than 30 are very knowledgeable about literature. The rest are all illiterate!" Liu Shu looked at Yang Yuanzhao's expression and said calmly.

"3 scholars?"

"What, can't the scholar apply for the election?"

"No, I feel strange. Does a scholar also look for a job?"

"You think this is still a peaceful and prosperous era. I am a juren and I work in the chamber of commerce. The salary you give is much higher than that of the ones who just came to the chamber of commerce back then. What's the point? There are still fewer ones. But there are only local scholars in Baotou. If the news comes out, I'm afraid there will be more people coming here!"

After Liu Shu's explanation, Yang Yuanzhao realized that even decades ago, when the road to the imperial examination was not cut off, it was difficult for scholars to make a living. They either worked as lawyers, wrote letters, couplets, or simply gave up the imperial examination, went to the store to help, and became a accountant. Now, the central government is in chaos, and the end of the Qing Dynasty has appeared in the Qing Dynasty. There are even more poor scholars. There are now many such scholars in Baotou, some of whom helped in the school, and the rest have basically gone to major shops. Yang Yuanzhao's recruitment this time, and I don't know how generous the conditions given to him. In addition, some higher standards for technicians have really attracted a lot of people.

Yang Yuanzhao looked at the three scholars and more than 30 well-versed literature and literature, sighed. China's industrialization road is really a long way to go. Suddenly, when he made an appointment with everyone, especially Wu Guangren and Zhao Shuming, he asked them to find a place to teach workers to read. He even gave him a reward of 15 kilograms of white flour a month and asked Liu Shu to ask.

Liu Shu was stunned. Unexpectedly, Yang Yuanzhao would ask this question. After hesitating for a while, hesitating, he said, "Brother Yuanzhao, I suggest you don't have such great hope. As far as I know, the school can no longer be completed now?"

Yang Yuanzhao didn't expect to get such an answer. Since he came to Baotou, he was so busy that he had no way to touch the ground. After returning from Shanghai, he even founded a flour mill and a brick and tile factory. Now he is planning to build a gray farm and has almost no spare time. However, education issues, especially the education issues of workers, have always been something he likes. He believes that Wu Guangren and the others will not disobey the enemy, but the current result shocked him and asked in a voice, "Why, what is the reason? Are they not dedicated to it?"
