The shipyard was located near the seaside and Tianjin Port. It covered a large area and all the surrounding land was bought by Liu Jin.
Not only is it used to build a shipyard, but it is also intended to be used to build a specialized school for building sea-going ships in the future, and a huge family area is also built to house the employees of the shipyard.
Because Liu Jin attaches great importance to the shipyard and has invested a large amount of money, even though it has not been long since the shipyard started construction, with the investment of a large number of manpower and a large amount of money, it has already been completed.
Quite a scale.
A large number of houses have been built in the family area. Some of these houses are houses with one entrance, some are houses with two entrances, and some are courtyards with three entrances that occupy a relatively large area.
Liu Jin knows very well that shipbuilding is a very technical thing. Even if he has the technology, people still need to learn and do this technology. This means that the shipyard needs a lot of talents, shipbuilding talents.
Only with a large number of talents can qualified ships be built, large-scale shipbuilding be possible, and shipbuilding technology be introduced and constantly upgraded.
This must pay attention to the importance and training of talents and skilled workers. In this regard, Liu Jin plans to learn from future generations of technology companies. Not only must they pay high wages to talents, but they must also find ways to solve their housing problems and children's education.
Civilization, even for a single bachelor, has to find ways to solve his life-long affairs.
Only in this way can we truly retain talents and let everyone know how valuable talents are, so that some people are willing to devote themselves to studying this shipbuilding technology and gradually improve the level of shipbuilding.
Although the current Tianjin Shipyard has a lot of money invested in it, because the Ming Dynasty has banned the sea for a long time, the shipbuilding talents are extremely scarce. It is difficult to find shipbuilding talents, so Liu Jin also bought them with a thousand pieces of gold.
Gu, on the other hand, like Xishan Coal Industry, trains shipbuilding talents on its own.
When recruiting workers, various talents have been distinguished. People with carpenters, blacksmiths, masons and other crafts are treated differently, especially in shipbuilding, where a large number of carpenters have gathered.
Since there are no shipbuilders, we should first use carpenters to support them, and then combine them with their own training to slowly turn these carpenters into qualified shipbuilding technicians.
At the shipyard, the first batch of houses built were first allocated to the stewards and carpenters in the shipyard, to show Liu Jin's emphasis on talents.
Here in the shipyard employee area, rows of brand-new houses are neatly arranged. These houses are all planned and constructed in a unified manner. There is a wide road paved with gravel at the door of every house, and the facades are also large and full of style.
Such a house is definitely the dream of countless people in this era.
Wan Carpenter was originally just a very ordinary carpenter. Because there was a famine in his family, he fled to Tianjin with his family.
Liu Jin was recruiting people on a large scale. Because he was a carpenter, he naturally entered the shipyard to work very smoothly. And because his carpenter skills were good, he was rated as a third-level carpenter by the shipyard.
After being rated as a third-level carpenter, he could not only receive seven taels of silver per month as a salary, but this salary was definitely beyond his imagination. He never dreamed that he could earn seven taels of silver a month by doing carpentry.
You must know that in this era when you can marry a wife with only three taels of silver, the salary of seven taels of silver a month is absolutely sky-high, far beyond the sky-high price you imagined.
But this was just the beginning. Not long ago, part of the family area at the shipyard was built. As a third-level carpenter, he was even assigned a first-class house of his own.
He still remembers very clearly that when he received the key and deed to his own house, and came to this house that he had never dreamed of living in before, the whole family was excited for several days, and their mouths were full of excitement.
Smiling from ear to ear.
At this time, in the yard of his home, Carpenter Wan was teaching his son to learn to be a carpenter.
"The carpenter needs to be skillful and the doctor needs to be experienced. We carpenters must use skill and follow the grain of the wood when working. If the wood has the right grain, we will get twice the result with half the effort and the work will be decent."
Wan Carpenter's eldest son is fourteen years old. He used to refuse to learn carpentry from him, thinking that he would have no future as a carpenter. But it's different now. Wan Carpenter has more than seven taels of silver a month in the shipyard.
The monthly payment was even divided into a house of his own.
So there is no need for Wan Carpenter to tell him. His son has taken the initiative to ask Wan Carpenter to teach him how to do carpentry. He also wants to join the shipyard, also wants to receive a few taels of silver a month as wages, and also wants to be allocated a house of his own. After all, he is fourteen years old.
Now, it’s almost time to start a family and start a business.
Wan Carpenter watched his son planing wood seriously and nodded with great satisfaction. The smell of cooking came from the kitchen, and his wife Xu looked into the yard from time to time.
I am extremely satisfied with this house. Not only does it have a separate kitchen and dining room, but it also has a separate hut. It uses tap water. This tap water is drawn from the Haihe River. Just turn on the switch and it will be ready.
There is water, which is very convenient.
Wan Carpenter looked at his wife, Mrs. Xu, and couldn't help but raise his head a little higher. In the past, he was a strict wife, because he couldn't make much money as a carpenter and it was difficult to support the family, so he was always criticized by Mrs. Xu.
ridicule.
But things are different now. He takes home a few taels of silver every month and lives in this brand-new house. The family of six has lived a good life that they could not have imagined before. His wife has also become very obedient to Carpenter Wan.
, the way he looked at Wan Carpenter was different. In the past, he was opposed to his son learning to be a carpenter from Wan Carpenter, but now he actively asked Wan Carpenter to teach several children how to be carpenters.
"Hurry up and prepare the food. After eating, I have to go to the factory to work. I am always dragging my feet. If I am late, it will not give a good impression to the superiors."
Carpenter Wan yelled at Mrs. Xu. In the past, Mrs. Xu yelled at Carpenter Wan, but now it was the other way around.
Not only did Ms. Xu not get angry when she was yelled at, but she speeded up and said at the same time: "The meal is ready, and the dishes are also ready. You hurry up and eat first, don't be late, otherwise your wages will be deducted."
"Hmm~"
Wan Carpenter said with great satisfaction. Just as he was about to eat, there was a sound coming from outside.
"Wan Carpenter, Wan Carpenter, come out quickly, Mr. Liu has sent us fish!"
