A monthly salary of twenty dollars is higher than the salary of a seventh-grade county magistrate.
Even after Zhu Biao's several salary increases, the monthly salary of a seventh-grade county magistrate is now only a dozen or so guan. In a large county, it is only 17 or 18 guan, and in a small county, it is only 12 or 13 guan.
A monthly salary of twenty dollars is enough to solve all the problems of Jiang Shan’s family!
"Are you telling the truth?" Jiang Shan looked excited and subconsciously grabbed Zheng Hui's arm with both hands, fearing that something joking with him would come out of Zheng Hui's mouth.
Zheng Hui only felt severe pain in his arms. He grinned and said aggrievedly, "You pinched me." .??.??
"Ah?" Jiang Shan woke up immediately and let go of his hand.
Zheng Hui's eyes widened and he stared at Jiang Shan with a face full of complaints. He kept rubbing his hands on his arms. "Don't you know how strong you are?"
We are all friends in the same dormitory. Everyone knows who is strong and who is weak.
Jiang Shan is different from most scholars who have no strength. He is extremely strong. There is no one in the entire academy who can compete with him.
After Jiang Shan came to his senses, he wanted to comfort Zheng Hui, but he was afraid of hurting him again. His palms froze in mid-air, his face full of embarrassment.
"Is what Brother Zheng just said true?"
"Hi~ It really hurts." Zheng Hui looked at Jiang Shan's palm subconsciously. It was obvious that he was still frightened by Jiang Shan's actions just now. "Of course it is true. Now Mr. Sun is personally recruiting for the academy. Is it still fake?"
"I'm going to take a look, do you want to go?" Jiang Shan couldn't sit still anymore and looked at the two of them excitedly.
Zheng Hui nodded matter-of-factly, "Of course I'm going, I came back just to inform you, otherwise I wouldn't have come back."
"Brother Huang, you're not short of money, so you shouldn't be interested in this, right?"
Faced with Zheng Hui's words, Huang An smiled faintly, "Let's go together, let's go together! Even if I don't need it, can I still join in the fun?"
"Hahaha"
When the three of them arrived, the place was already filled with students on three floors inside and three outside.
"Didn't this news spread too fast? There were only a dozen people here at most just now, why are there so many here all at once?" Zheng Hui looked surprised.
Jiang Shan was very clear in his mind. He couldn't help but pinch his fingers and said, "There are many students from ordinary families in the academy, and the monthly salary of twenty guan is still very attractive."
"But with so many people coming now, I'm afraid there are also a lot of people joining in the fun." Huang An glanced around and found that students with good backgrounds were also there.
Without keeping the students waiting, Sun Xian stepped to the front step by step.
The moment he came out, all the students immediately bowed their hands and said in unison, "Bye bye"
Mr. Sun!"
Sun Xian is still teaching in the academy, but he only works between the academy and the machinery workshop. Almost all the students here have been taught by him, but some are not interested in machinery and have not studied with him.
Sun Xian raised his hands, pressed them a few times, and said with a smile, "Excuse me."
After a pause, he said with a smile, "I'm here today to recruit for the machinery workshop. If you are willing, you can come and register."
The machinery workshop is already known for its generous salary, and with Sun Xian coming forward, no one will doubt that the monthly salary of twenty guan is fake.
However, some people still raised questions, "Mr. Sun, would you like to ask if we are only recruiting gentlemen with meritorious titles, or are we recruiting students like us as well?"
The academic reputation that students refer to is Jinshi. All students are at least candidates for the exam, and the reputation of being an academician is not taken seriously by students.
Sun Xian did not blame the person who asked the question, but smiled and nodded slightly to him, and said with a smile, "It is good to have fame, but without fame, as long as you have studied in the academy for two years, it will be fine."
Students who have studied in the academy for two years have almost completely changed their way of thinking, and there is no problem at all in managing a mechanical workshop.
"Sir, if our students go to the mechanical workshop, will it affect their studies?"
Sun Xian also nodded solemnly and said, "You need to weigh this yourself. Working in a mechanical workshop will of course have an impact on your studies. How to balance work and studies is what you need to do."
"If you want to be able to work in the workshop without delaying your studies at the academy, you will need to put in more effort!"
As soon as these words came out, most people showed hesitant looks on their faces. In their view, studies are obviously more important. Money can be earned slowly, but studies are related to fame and fame. Even if it is just a rare risk, they are not willing to take risks. .
But for people like Jiang Shan, money is obviously more important to him now.
Jiang Shan was very strong and easily squeezed to the front. He looked up at Sun Xian and asked, "May I ask, sir, will the machinery workshop still provide room and board?"
"Don't worry, this is actually the original rule of the mechanical workshop. It's not just a preferential treatment for you. All the people in the workshop have accommodation. There is a special canteen in the workshop. If you don't mind, you can eat in the canteen every day. "
Dislike it? How could you dislike it? For Jiang Shan, as long as he can have someone who can solve his life problems, he can also send the money back
He would be satisfied just to support his family.
When Sun Xian saw that no one asked again, he clapped his hands and said loudly, "Don't worry, the machine shop will not let you down. Even if you can't trust me, can't you still not trust Lord Zhen Guo? When has Lord Zhen Guo ever let you suffer?"
These words resonated with many students. Everything in the academy was created by Zhen Guogong. Since they can adapt to the academy, can't they still not be able to adapt to the mechanical workshop?
"Mr. Sun, the student is willing to go to the workshop." Jiang Shan did not hesitate and immediately bowed and bowed.
"Okay, just register here." Sun Xian smiled and stretched out his hand to signal.
Jiang Shan nodded slightly and walked directly towards the registration office.
"Sir, I am also willing to go to the workshop." Jiang Shan started, and someone else immediately came up to pay homage. ??
"Okay." Sun Xian nodded.
Jiang Shan is not the only person in the world who is in urgent need of money. Ever since Jiang Shan came forward, people have been following him to stand up from the crowd and bow to Sun Xian, and then go to register one after another.
"How's it going? Have you recruited the manpower?" Han Du came to the workshop to find Sun Xian the next day.
Sun Xian was a little surprised that Mr. Han could come to the workshop so early. He smiled and said, "We have recruited, but there are only a dozen more people."
"How much more can there be?" Han Du was surprised.
Regardless of the high monthly salary of the mechanical workshop, according to Han Du's estimation, it should not be very attractive to college students. Originally, Han Du thought that it would be good to recruit half of them, but he didn't expect that it was even exceeded?
Sun Xian was very surprised by Han Du's reaction. He looked at Han Du strangely and asked, "Aren't you angry, sir?"
"What are you angry about?" Han Du was stunned for a moment.
Sun Xian hesitated and said, "I thought Sir would think there were too many people."
One more person will cost an extra 20 guan in monthly salary, which is more than 200 guan in a year. If there are more than a dozen people, it will cost an extra three to four thousand guan in a year. Sun Xian thought Han Du would not
agree.
"Why do you think there are too many people? It would be great if you could recruit all the people from the academy for me." Han Du didn't care about the monthly salary at all.
Sun Xian was relieved and said with a sigh, "I didn't expect that so many people would be willing to come to the workshop. After a closer look, it turns out that the family background of these students is not very good."
Han Du immediately became curious and asked, "What's going on? Recruiting people makes you sigh?"
Sun Xian told Han Du about Jiang Shan's situation, and even about other people's situations.
"Looking back on the past, students in the academy took exams
Obtaining fame and fame is like picking something out of a bag, never has it been as difficult as it is now."
Han Du suddenly frowned and asked in confusion, "The court divided the imperial examination into the Academy Ranking and the Imperial College Ranking? When did it happen, why didn't I know?"
Sun Xian was stunned for a moment, then immediately recalled it, shook his head and said with a wry smile, "I remember, my father-in-law was not in the capital at that time. The emperor agreed after the Imperial College report."
"Nonsense!" Han Du stood up suddenly and looked at the palace with angry eyes.
Even when he was suppressed by Zhu Yunye and had to go to sea to avoid suspicion, Han Du had never been as angry as he is now.
"How come no one has told me about this?" Han Du looked at Sun Xian angrily.
Sun Xian swallowed his saliva and said hesitantly, "I, I thought the father-in-law knew."
Han Du withdrew his gaze and said in a deep voice, "Take good care of those in the academy, and speed up the production of pedal sewing machines."
"Yes, sir, I've written it down." Sun Xian pinched his thumb and nodded slightly.
After admonishing him, Han Du immediately turned around and walked out of the house.
Watching Han Du leave angrily, Sun Xian sighed helplessly.
Han Du went directly to the academy, found Mr. Jin's study, and walked in directly.
Mr. Jin is so old that even his eyebrows and beard are completely white, and he is looking at something at his desk with a set of eyes.
Hearing the sound of someone coming in, Mr. Jin frowned slightly, looked up and saw Han Du.
"It turns out it's you. I was still wondering who could attack so rudely."
Seeing Han Du coming, Mr. Jin also put down the book in his hand and got up to pour tea for Han Du.
How could Han Du bother the old man? He quickly picked up the teapot and poured himself and him a cup of tea respectively.
Mr. Jin took the tea cup and leaned back on the chair. He smiled and said, "You always go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing. Tell me, why did you come to see me today?"
Han Du paused for a moment, looking a little embarrassed. He laughed to cover it up and said, "Can't I come and see you if you have nothing to do?"
Mr. Jin took a sip of tea happily, closed his eyes slightly and opened them again, looking at Han Du with a smile, "I have been in the academy for so many years, how many times have you come to see me?"
Indeed, not many times
Since he was caught with a sore leg, Han Du simply accepted it shamelessly. Anyway, as long as he was thick-skinned enough, no one would want to embarrass me.
"Let's get down to business, how come the imperial examinations were changed to academy rankings and Imperial College rankings?"
Mr. Jin suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Han Du, then lowered his eyes.
