Looking at the scene in front of him, Liu Jin was naturally smiling. The more popular the students of this maritime academy are, the better the treatment. Naturally, more and more people will want to be admitted and want to go to sea to become sailors.
There will also be more and more people, which is very important for your subsequent plans.
Looking at the scarlet eyes and tightly clenched fists of these people in front of him, Liu Jin knew that each of them was very eager to enter the Tianjin Maritime Academy, and each of them was more or less full of yearning for the sea.
heart of.
I walked around the crowd very casually and listened carefully to what these people were discussing. Naturally, the most talked about was the bright future of the crew after graduation.
While everyone was waiting anxiously, the enrollment at Tianjin Maritime Academy finally started. Everyone immediately became energetic and consciously lined up in a long queue to start registration and prepare to participate in the selection.
According to the rules originally formulated by Liu Jin, the selection process for this Maritime Academy is extremely stringent, and one of the most important conditions is that one must be able to read and write.
Although the requirements for literacy are not too high, you do not need to be able to write poems and lyrics, nor do you need to be able to do eight-part essays, because this is not an imperial examination. You only need to be able to recognize some simple characters and be able to roughly read some.
A simple article will do.
But even so, it is still a very stringent requirement in this era.
There are really too few people who can read and write, especially the poor people at the bottom, who are basically illiterate. It is really difficult for them to be able to read and write.
As for the scholars who can really read and digitize, they will naturally not come to get admitted to this maritime academy, because those who can read and digit are more or less people with status, especially those who have obtained fame and fame, which is even more important.
Not on.
Therefore, the entire selection process is not too complicated. Just the first level of reading and deciphering will eliminate most people.
Many industries under Liu Jin's command have night classes. As long as you work a little longer and pay more attention during night classes, you can easily pass the literacy test.
This is why many employees and managers from Liu Jin's industries have signed up, because these people have taken night classes and are basically able to read and write, and have also learned arithmetic, which is more in line with the enrollment requirements of Tianjin College.
.
Tianjin Maritime College not only trains ordinary sailors, but also trains every student to become a captain. Literacy and literacy are the basic requirements, and the requirements for arithmetic are also quite high.
If you want to find the direction and calculate your position in the sea, you will definitely not be able to do it without a certain degree of arithmetic ability. Moreover, going to sea also requires calculation of dates, voyages, supplies, personnel, and many other things, which all require a certain degree of arithmetic ability.
Therefore, when enrolling students at Tianjin Maritime College, they take certain care of employees from Tianjin Shipyard, Tianjin Port, Tianjin Cement Factory, and many other industries under Liu Jin's command.
As long as you can pass the literacy test, subsequent physical examinations, infectious disease screenings, etc. will be slightly taken care of. As long as you are not physically disabled, any special infectious diseases will be admitted.
"In the beginning, human beings are inherently good by nature, similar in nature, but far apart in habits..."
A man wearing a Tianjin Shipyard uniform recited the "Three Character Classic" very fluently, without reading a single word wrong. He was obviously very good at reading and deciphering characters.
"Read this paragraph alone."
The teacher in charge of admissions nodded with satisfaction, then casually pointed to the above paragraph and asked the other person to read it out. The purpose of this was obviously to prevent someone from preparing the test content in advance.
"Rites, music, shooting, royal calligraphy, and numbering are the six ancient arts that are not available today..."
This person also read very fluently, which made the admissions teacher nod with satisfaction and said: "Excellent in reading and writing, go in for a physical examination, and pay more attention to arithmetic in the future."
"yes!"
The man smiled confidently and nodded, then walked into Tianjin Maritime College. After passing the literacy test, it was basically equivalent to entering Tianjin Maritime College.
Behind this man, pairs of eyes looked at him, most of them envious and jealous.
"Next~"
The teacher in charge of admissions did not waste time, took out a piece of paper from a pile of papers and said: "Read this article out."
"The sky and the earth, the universe and the floods...the sun and the moon..."
"Stop, stop, you better go back first. You know too few words and you are not qualified."
Just after hearing the other person read the beginning, the teacher in charge of admissions couldn't help but shake his head. The other person knew too few words, so he could only declare him unqualified.
Hearing the words of the admissions teacher, the man suddenly became dejected and bit his lips, feeling very unwilling. However, he could only look at the door of Tianjin Maritime University and left here silently.
There are too many people like him, and many of them are even illiterate and do not know a single word. Therefore, although the lines are very long, they move very fast.
"What's so great about Tianjin Maritime Academy? They're not taking the imperial examination. They also need to be able to read and digit. They're not just going out to fish. Why do they need to be able to read and digit? It's true if they have a lot of strength and are willing to endure hardships.
.”
The person who was brushed off was naturally aggrieved. People who knew him well gathered together and said angrily.
"That's right. I can read and digitize. If I can read and digit, what am I doing here? I've already passed the imperial examination and become an official."
"It's just fishing in the sea. It's really nothing special. I've been fishing in the river with my father since I was a child. I don't believe I can't go to the sea."
"This Tianjin Maritime College really thinks that it has a lot of weight. It's like the imperial examination. It's irritating to think about it. It took a lot of effort to get here, and they kicked me off in a few seconds."
"..."
"Hey, I was eliminated again. I was eliminated last time. I didn't expect that I still failed this time. It's really difficult to read and write. Although I go to night classes every day, my memory is really bad.
What goes in the left ear and comes out the right ear, what I learned today will be returned to the teacher tomorrow."
"It's quite difficult. I almost passed the test this time. I will definitely take night classes when I go back. I heard that if you are good at arithmetic, the requirements for literacy and hyphenation can be lowered. I will study hard later."
, taking arithmetic class at least won’t make you want to sleep.”
"I heard that this guy Li Er is good at arithmetic. He was like me just now. Although he didn't pass the test in reading and deciphering, he was better at arithmetic than the teacher. He did the questions and entered the Maritime Academy."
"This kid has become famous now. He has become a student of the Maritime Academy. Once he enters, he will earn five taels of silver a month. After he comes out, he will earn several taels of silver on a trip to sea. In a month, he will earn at least several taels of silver.
One hundred taels of silver."
"Isn't that true? You don't usually notice it. You work and have classes with us every day. I didn't expect that you would enter this maritime academy all of a sudden. The comparison between people is so irritating."
"Don't be envious, everyone. Let's go back and study hard. We will try to pass the exam next time and go to sea together to make a lot of money."
….
Liu Jin looked at the advancing team in front of him and listened to the discussion of these people who had been removed. The smile on his face became even brighter. This was the effect he wanted.
There are night classes in many industries under his command. Although many people go to class, they do not study hard. Therefore, thresholds and requirements are set for promotion and salary increase. It is difficult for people who cannot read, write, or do arithmetic to become managers.
of.
The same is true for the enrollment of Tianjin Maritime College now. They need to be able to read and write, and be able to do arithmetic. In this case, driven by interests, more people will go back and study hard. In this way, many things will be easier to handle.
Sometimes reading is not just as simple as reading and writing, but also contains many philosophies of life. The process of reading is a process of progress.
People who read more are relatively more sensible. This is the truth.
…
In a courtyard with two entrances in the capital, Tian Erniu was holding his son and asking him to read and write.
"This character is called Tian. Our surname is Tian. The character Tian is square and square. It looks like our fields are very similar. This is Tianlang."
Tian Erniu seemed very patient. He wrote the character Tian with a pen and slowly taught his five-year-old son.
"They really look alike~"
Tian Erniu's son also studies very seriously and enjoys such leisure time.
Since the beginning of May, Tian Erniu has returned to the capital from Tianjin, and then he has not gone to sea again for almost a month, and has been staying at home with his family.
Jiaojiao is still reading and writing, accompanying his elderly parents, and walking around the streets of Beijing with his wife. His childhood life is very comfortable and leisurely.
However, everyone in the Tian family knows that this happy time will soon pass, and it will be June soon. When June comes, it means that Tian Erniu will set off for the Golden Continent.
This Golden Continent is thousands of miles away, separated by the boundless sea. It is unpredictable whether life or death will happen here. Even if we can come back safely, it is estimated that it will take at least a year, so the Tian family cherishes it very much now.
All time.
"Okay, let's go play."
Soon, Tian Erniu put down his son and let him play by himself. He came to the kitchen, where his wife was preparing Tian Erniu's favorite steamed grouper.
"We'll be leaving in a few days."
Tian Erniu looked at his wife Xiu Niang and said reluctantly.
"I know, I'm at home, so don't worry."
Xiu Niang stopped what she was doing, her eyes were full of reluctance. Now she had finally lived a good life, but Tian Erniu was about to leave for Huanghuangzhou. Thinking about the dangers involved, Xiu Niang felt that
The old days are still good. Although we don’t have enough food and clothing, and we can’t even imagine buying such a house here in the capital, at least the family can be together and not have to worry about each other every time.
Cow and worry.
"After I leave, the children must not slack off in their studies, especially Dabao. He is too playful. You must be strict with the housekeeper. You must know that a loving mother often loses her son."
Tian Erniu nodded, thought about it and couldn't help but tell him.
"I know that I will discipline him strictly in the future and let him study hard so that he can take the imperial examination, gain fame and become an official."
The embroiderer nodded solemnly and said.
"It doesn't matter whether you take the imperial examination or not. What's more, this study is not for the imperial examination. It's for understanding things and becoming knowledgeable. In short, you just have to be disciplined."
Tian Erniu shook his head slightly, and then said: "Dad is not in good health. Remember to give him a large yellow croaker for every meal and steam it."
"Mom is getting older, and sometimes she gets dizzy and quarrels with you. You should be more patient with her."
"I have already given up my studies and gone to Tianjin regarding your brother's affairs. For my sake, there is no problem in going in and working. But if you want to really stand out, you still have to pay more attention to your studies. These industries under the master's command,
If you want to be a manager, you need to be able to read and write, and you also need to be able to do arithmetic and so on."
Tian Erniu kept explaining one thing after another, as if he was about to die, and explained many things in detail. When he went to Huangjin Continent, his life and death were unknown, and he really explained it as his own funeral.
"Well, I know everything."
The embroiderer listened attentively, and her tears were left unsatisfied.
"Why are you crying? I am not going to the guillotine. I am just going to the Golden Continent. It will take a year to go back and forth. I will be back by this time next year."
Seeing the embroiderer crying, Tian Erniu said sharply.
He hates women crying the most, so he has always been very kind to his wife.
After hearing what Tian Erniu said, Xiu Niang quickly wiped away her tears and looked at Tian Erniu, feeling really reluctant to let go.
"The money is all hidden in the jar under the bed. I have several thousand taels of silver, so I don't need to have too much left. I still have to spend what should be spent, especially on my children's education."
"No matter who comes to borrow this money from you, don't lend it out. This is a guarantee for your future life. If I really can't come back, Mr. Liu has promised to take care of you.
If you have any difficulty, you can go to Mr. Liu."
Tian Erniu did very well in the Maritime Academy and became a captain right out of school. Therefore, during this time, he also saved several thousand taels of property.
Not only did he buy a house here in the capital, he even bought a shop and some fields outside the capital. He also had several thousand taels of silver left at home. It can be said that he made a lot of money.
He has also thought a lot, and has thought about everything for his family in advance, and sincerely thinks that he will not be able to come back to do it. There are houses, shops, and fields outside the capital, plus he still has thousands of taels of silver.
, with enough for his family to have enough food and clothing in the future, he can go to Golden Continent with peace of mind.
"Hmm~"
The embroiderer nodded solemnly and remembered it firmly.
"I'm going to see my father and mother. You can continue cooking."
Tian Erniu nodded with satisfaction, and then walked inside. Tian Erniu's mother was burning incense, paying homage to the Dragon King, praying for her son, and wishing him a smooth return.
