C940 The Story of the old beggar (2/2)

”That's right, he's already in such a miserable state, so what if we give him a way out?” Look at how pitiful that child is … ”

The Chinese never lack the love that is rampant. As long as this love doesn't cost them their own benefits, they don't mind moral kidnapping.

You, Xiao Letian, are an official. As an official, we, the people have to be taught, regardless of whether this citizen is lazy or lazy, or whether he is wicked. In their hearts, they only have one thought, 'I am retarded, I am reasonable'.

Old platoon leader angrily stood up and shouted, ”All of you shut up! Men, drag this old beggar out. Since you have decided to expel him, then we, the special region, will expel him. You don't know what's good for you. You ate the food for the relief workers, but you pushed the job for the workers, so you want to get what you want without putting in any effort at all? ”We don't raise idle people …”

The soldier dragged old beggar and threw him outside the West Water Gate. The old beggar disciples wanted to curse him, but when the shining bayonet appeared, he was so scared that he covered his mouth and ran away. After running a dozen of steps, he turned his head and spat out a mouthful of phlegm, staring at the soldiers hatefully.

Just at this time, another patriarch who had been expelled stood up, walked to the front of Old platoon leader and Fan Ru and kowtowed three times. That old beggar is so lazy that he deserved to be expelled, but I don't understand, it's not like our family of three didn't want to work, how did we end up being expelled … I can't live with this in my heart! ”

Old platoon leader opened the document and looked at it before letting out a long sigh, ”Why are you so unenlightened? ”Your son has already been recruited by the big iron mill. He is paid two silver coins a month as a student. Why don't you cherish him?”

The old man was so angry that his eyes turned red. ”Me, not cherishing it?” You said I don't treasure it! When I heard this joyous news for three consecutive days, I was so happy that I didn't fall asleep. My wife cried for three whole days … You said I don't treasure it? But you guys are bullying me too much. Why do you have to cut your braids when you work in an iron factory? ”Is there still no justice at all …”

Fan Ru was startled when he heard it, ”Cut the braids? ”When did these rules …”

The pigtail cutting rule was new last year, of course. What was the most respected job in the Special Zone? It was definitely not a seller like the Four Seas Trading Company, nor was it a scheming Second Manager.

What was truly respected were the engineers and the apprentices and skilled workers they had brought out.

Any country that wanted industrial development would need a very large team of engineers and an even larger team of blue-collar workers, which were the rarest talents in the Qing Dynasty.

It was easy to find shrewd businessmen and many scholars who were good at western studies, but blue-collar workers were the rarest because craftsmen had been neglected for thousands of years in China. Most craftsmen in China relied on the knowledge of their teachers and disciples, and had no strict education in natural science.

In other words, the blue-collar workers of the Tanggu District must be cultivated by Xiao Letian himself. People had to find smart young men who could learn basic cultural knowledge, math, and basic physics quickly and with great skill.

It wasn't easy to find such a talent, so it was hard to find anyone who could help her with her wealth. For example, the Wang Family, where their son had already been taken in by the Iron Works, even the work of their parents had been taken care of.

Since his father knew how to order carpentry skills, he decided to go to the Carpentry Department of the Iron Works. Many wood bucket wood box were made by these people, and their monthly income was also one and a half silver coins.

His mother could only cook, so he arranged for them to be in the Kitchen. He still had half a silver coin per month, and the so-called half a silver coin was the new term that people called ”Five Horn”.

As for Little Wang, she was even more beautiful. While studying, she would get two pieces of silver a month. When she upgraded to a beginner, she would get five pieces of silver, then she would get eight pieces of silver for a level one worker, and then she would get a level two worker … I can't imagine.

However, there were conditions for such a treatment. Last year, Xiao Letian personally ordered all the crucial technical jobs to be added to the nationality of the Ryukyu. Furthermore, there was an additional condition: cutting the braids and putting the legs in.
