Chapter 789: Created a Class (Part 1)
"Now, I announced in the name of the magistrate of Mengjin County that the competition for employment has officially begun!" Ma Zhou said.
Soon, under the organization of various yamen runners, those who were preparing to participate in the competition began to prepare for the competition for the assessment. Jing Wen did not expect that the recruitment of corvee service in Mengjin County this time caused a sensation in the entire county. Many people came to participate in this service, and there were seven or eight thousand people who were preparing to participate in the service, almost the total number of people who could still serve in Mengjin County. Everyone wanted to show their skills in this competition and then get the opportunity to replace everyone. After all, as long as they participated in the service, they would be worth it, so who would not want to join the service?
"Those who participate in the blacksmith are at the site 1, and those who participate in the carpenters are at the site 2. Different venues have different service standards. You can see which job you want to participate in, and you can choose for yourself." Ma Zhou continued.
The people did not expect that this service was divided into jobs, which made them speechless. Of course, Jing Wen knew that those who had blacksmith craftsmanship, carpenters and stonemasons craftsmanship were technical jobs in ancient times. The value of these technical jobs was much better than those who rely solely on physical strength, so Jing Wen naturally raised the issue of division of labor in various jobs. In ancient times, this division of labor was not paid much attention to, so Jing Wen naturally had to propose it first. With the division of labor, when the corvee service was organized to work, he could work in a timely manner according to different divisions of labor.
However, these people who were in labor service were also given priority to those who were capable in construction projects. Because in ancient times, when the government needed to perform labor service, that was, construction projects, Jing Wen also gave priority to those who could be helpful to construction projects, so that the corvee workers needed by the government could be used most effectively. Because if there was no division of labor, then when the carpenter was asked to do the blacksmith's work, and the blacksmith did the stonemason's work, wouldn't this be a mess?
This is an important issue in human resource management in ancient times. The division of labor at the bottom of construction projects is not very good. However, these tasks are also easy to solve. People can determine which job they belong to based on their job level, and then participate in the assessment and select the best ones to participate in service.
"Okay, you draw lots, and those who draw the same group will be assigned to the same group to compete." The yamen runners took some bamboo sticks for everyone, and then those who draw the same length of bamboo sticks must be assigned to the same group to compete.
And some carpenters came to the site where the carpenters worked, and then asked them to prepare the tools. The preparation was started.
"Everyone thinks, this is a drawing of a peacock spreading its tail. You can make it according to this drawing, and then finally you score each other!" said the yamen runner.
The carpenters all looked like earthy, and they were obviously very deceptive about this drawing. This kind of peacock spreading drawing tests the manual ability, because there are many hollowing out places, so this is a pit. But now the question is like this, and they have no choice. They also know that this kind of peacock spreading drawing can actually be done by those who have been working as a carpenter for decades. It is impossible for them to make too good a half-baked ones, at most they will have the same appearance.
Some people can only leave silently, while others stay. Obviously, even if they know that they are not good at doing well, they have to challenge them. Other blacksmiths and stonemasons are all deceiving drawings. They are all high-tech things that make some people extremely painful.
But they didn't know at all, what Jing Wen did. In fact, there were many assessment ideas, because if you gave up when you encountered difficulties, Jing Wen would not want him to stay. Because this group of people is an important goal of Jing Wen, Jing Wen's goal is to let a group of people leave the farmland and become people who are full-time in labor service. The first group of people is often pioneering. If there is not enough challenge spirit, it is impossible to be competent for Jing Wen's needs. Therefore, Jing Wen deliberately used some difficult drawings to assess them. The first thing for such drawings is not to assess their skills, but to assess their courage and challenge spirit. If there is no such thing as these two things, these people are not the people who Jing Wen needs. After having courage and challenge spirit, they are the people who are evaluating their skills. Those who leave directly are not the people who need Jing Wen, because they do not have courage and challenge spirit.
Two hours later, these carpenters initially made a pattern of peacock spreading their tails. They found that everyone did not do it well because they were not those carpenter masters, so the peacock spreading they made was not very good. Next, it was time to score.
"Remember, I'll give each of you a piece of paper with numbers on it. All your works have numbers, and you may be able to see what you are doing. But, I hope you can honestly score according to the real purpose. You can look at it one by one, and then write the score for this number on the number in the paper in your hands. The highest is 100 points and the lowest is zero points. However, you should score according to your real idea and don't deliberately give yourself high scores. Because, we will first remove the two highest scores in your scoring paper and two lowest scores. Therefore, it's better to be honest. Just judge, which will be good for you. You are not just rating alone, but there are still many people rating!"
In fact, Jing Wen did not have so many experts to score in this competition. So Jing Wen used the methods of later generations, and then used these craftsmen to score by themselves, and then removed the two highest and lowest scores, so that fairness could be maintained as much as possible.
Those carpenters have not heard of this method, so they have started rating. Although they can recognize which one of their works is, they may not recognize other people's works, so they are also very depressed. Overall, they should be honest and not use any bad ideas. After all, the highest score and the lowest score must be deducted, and they are not very useful for scoring.
