Xin Dongfang Skills School means a school where hard-working Oriental people learn skills.
Just a stick of incense ago, Zhu Youxiao had just told Wei Liangqing about this plan.
Relying on the Guijie Hotel, we first provide chef skills training, starting as an apprentice, and you can also learn literacy and preliminary knowledge about agriculture, culture, tourism and health.
To cultivate professional and technical talents in the future, we can not only carry out specialized training like vocational schools, but also carry out qualification certificate examinations like professional institutions.
The aim is to cultivate a group of talents from workers and peasants with high quality and quantity without losing money, so that they can master various skills.
Wei Liangqing probably only understands 20 to 30% of it now, which is enough.
"Our Guijie Hotel has opened Xin Dongfang Skills School. You can earn 5 taels of silver each year for part-time work and study. You will have 15 taels in three years. After studying in the school for three years, you can also obtain Xin Dongfang's junior chef certificate. In the future, you can work in our store
Hiring here can earn you 15 taels of silver a year."
Hearing what Wei Liangqing said, the onlookers were amazed.
"Oh my! Fifteen taels of silver a year!"
“That’s more than a strong laborer can work for a year!”
Fifteen taels of silver a year is at least equivalent to 20,000 yuan a year in later generations. It was also a very good income in the 1990s.
At this time, the average hired worker only earned 12 taels of silver a year, and a hired worker with skills and experience in weaving and blacksmithing could earn 15 taels of silver a year.
During the part-time work-study period, I can earn 5 taels of silver a year.
The old man's eyes were so wide open that he couldn't believe his ears. His daughter's originally numb eyes suddenly glowed with brilliance.
Wei Liangqing folded the fan and asked the little girl: "What is your name? Are you willing to go to Xin Dongfang Skills School at Guijie Hotel?"
"Yingzi! Wei Yingzi!" the little girl replied loudly. With this answer, her eyes glowed and she became energetic. If you look closely, she is a very energetic little girl.
But the housekeeper felt that it would be embarrassing to have his beard cut off, and seeing that the little girl was pretty and energetic, buying her for 15 taels and becoming a maid would definitely make a profit.
"Hey, I made the deal first, and my husband and daughter agreed, how can I go back on my word!?"
His attack was so violent that he used the posture of an official to show off his power, which scared the old man's face and changed his face.
Wei Liangqing had also been around before, so he was afraid of him: "Haha, they are willing to come to Wei Liangqing's Guijie Hotel before they have finished their promise. How dare you rob someone in the street?"
"Hmph! Don't you just have an uncle who is a eunuch? The Guijie Restaurant is basically just cooking for poor people. If you dare to go against my master, your restaurant will be demolished in an hour!"
"Bold!"
Wei Liangqing and Liu Qiao shouted angrily at the same time.
The momentum of the two of them was stronger than the other, and the plainclothes guards also gathered around, keeping a close eye on the housekeeper and his entourage.
A guard in Jinyi pulled open a corner of his casual clothes and showed it to him. What was underneath was a flying fish suit!
"Ahhh!?"
The housekeeper was shocked and quickly knelt down and kowtowed to beg for mercy.
Wei Liangqing added: "Guijie Hotel is His Majesty's property and is owned by the royal family. It provides convenient services to the people. How dare you and your master demolish it? Hey, you dare to demolish His Majesty's store, how awesome~"
"I don't dare! I don't dare, I'm a little paw!"
The butler and the attendants slapped themselves and said they wanted to demolish Emperor Tianqi's shop. Jin Yiwei heard it with his own ears, and it was no nonsense to kill them.
Zhu Youxiao, who was dressed in casual clothes, coughed lightly: "Ahem, you want to buy such a nice little girl for fifteen taels. You are clearly bullying an honest man who has suffered from war.
Open your eyes and take a look. The Guijie Hotel was built by His Majesty to serve the people. The money from the confiscation of the house was specially used to fight against the slaves and help the people of Liaodong restore their homes. The adult behind you must write a letter to the refugees of Liaodong tomorrow.
The letter of apology is sent to the Ministry of War and the Military Aircraft Department, do you understand?"
"I know, I must notify you in place!"
Zhu Youxiao signaled that Liu Qiao simply told them to get lost. He bought someone else's daughter at half the price. When he saw someone with good qualifications, he forced her to buy her. He even dared to rave about demolishing the Guijie Hotel. They just apologized and it was good luck for them.
Jinyiwei has someone to follow up and investigate to find out which fifth-grade doctor's house slave is so arrogant. Let's check later to see if it is clean.
Wei Liangqing helped Mr. Wei and Wei Yingzi, who had been kowtowing in thanks, up and asked what was going on.
Wei Laozhang introduced: "We are from Kaiyuan. Because the slaves occupied our hometown, the old man's two daughters could not go to Shenyang to join the army, so they came to the capital to make a living. The younger daughter had no food or water, so she really couldn't survive...
...."
The onlookers also felt pity. They originally thought that the Jiannu rebellion was quite far away, but now they feel that they are around them as soon as they come into contact with it. They all feel that the Jiannu rebellion is abominable.
Wei Liangqing also made it clear to them that going to Xin Dongfang Skills School in Guijie Hotel was not to sell his daughter, but to live here temporarily and work-study.
However, he was still given 30 taels of silver, which was regarded as an advance of six years' salary. Yingzi lived in a big hotel and studied hard for six years, which was considered as repayment of the advance of salary.
Mr. Wei burst into tears with gratitude. His daughter is still his daughter. It is only natural that he lends money to others and works to repay it. This is much better than selling it to a wealthy family.
The onlookers also applauded, praising Wei Liangqing for his righteousness, Xin Dongfang Skills School for doing well, and wishing the Guijie Hotel a prosperous business.
Wei Liangqing drank water without forgetting his origins, and said loudly to everyone: "The Grand Hotel was built by His Majesty, and the Xin Dongfang Skills School was His Majesty's idea. It is for ordinary hard-working people to learn skills so that they can live a better life."
"Long live your Majesty, long live, long live your Majesty!"
Ordinary people in the capital have a better impression of the Emperor Tianqi who has just ascended the throne.
Zhu Youxiao was at the scene, but he resolutely did not reveal his identity. The people did not know it, but they praised him from the bottom of their hearts. There was a sincere relationship between the king and the people, which made him even more determined to make Ming Dynasty develop better.
Wei Liangqing led people back to the Guijie Hotel, which was under expansion.
Zhu Youxiao and others also paid a private visit incognito and walked around the hotel.
While he was promoting economic reforms, he was also engaged in industries related to people's livelihood.
Catering and accommodation are needed in every era, and are particularly helpful in understanding people’s livelihood and what people care about. It is one of the good channels to get close to the people.
Guijie Hotel is one of his windows.
The Guijie Hotel has been initially completed, with hotels on the east and west sides and hotel-style inns on the north and south.
At present, the canteen has been expanded by half, and business is very good.
The main reason is that its hotel positioning is more suitable.
Facing the east side towards Dongzhimen, which is the direction of the goods yard, it is a traditional lobby-style restaurant. It mainly serves various kinds of steamed buns, braised steamed buns, fried liver, noodles and other foods that are full of satiety and rich in flavor and are convenient for workers to replenish their energy. p>
This is in line with the basic customer base of the original warehouse hotel, and because Zhu Youxiao allocated a large sum of bonuses to build the hotel, the cost of these upgrades will not be covered by the vegetable prices.
The dining environment has been improved, the prices of the dishes have not increased, and the reputation is rising. All the porters in Beijing praise it.
