Chapter 214: Population Explosion(2/2)
However, after more than a month, Wang Shitou came into contact with many people with different ideas from him.
He found that many people in the textile factory were unwilling to work overtime, not because they thought the wages were too low, but because they were either studying for midnight snacks or studying for themselves.
There is a night school in the textile factory. The teachers of the school will come to class at night and hand them to recognize words and count.
Wang Shitou disagreed at first. What books should he read if such a big man?
However, after staying for a long time, he gradually understood the trick. As long as he is educated in Shandong, he will not have to worry about not being able to find something with higher wages.
And he can even become an official.
My colleagues at the textile factory said that their textile factory has produced three officials. Although the location is still very low, the possibility of climbing is infinite.
As long as you are willing to learn and as long as you have the ability, being an official is just a little bit.
This shocked Wang Shitou!
Being an official is something that the people dare not even think about. After a deep understanding, Wang Shitou realized that the threshold for being an official in Shandong is whether it is high or low.
It is not bad because Shandong's selection of officials is different from the imperial court. As long as they can pass the basic writing ability and simple arithmetic, they will be qualified to be an official. Then they have to attend a training class. The training class mainly teaches them how to do things after becoming officials, as well as how the rules and procedures of Shandong yamen are carried out, and then there is an exam.
The exam questions are the content of the teaching, and you also need to write a policy discussion. It doesn’t matter if you don’t write the policy discussion well. As long as you can pass the basic questions, you can become an official, but the level is very small. If you write the policy discussion well, you can jump directly to one to two levels.
As long as you are willing to learn, it will be sooner or later to become an official. People around you think that it will be a matter of time before the general conquers the world. At that time, a large number of officials will have to be. As long as you become an official, you will be promoted sooner or later.
But it is not easy to say, and it is really difficult to be an official in Shandong.
Being an official in Shandong is not an official like the court. The officials of the court can show off their power in front of the people. When they go out, they have to open the road and passers-by avoid it.
Officials in Shandong will be caught and peeled off if they embezzle a copper plate. A few days ago, more than 300 officials were peeled off. Now the skin is stuffed with straw and placed in the City God Temple! When facing the people, Shandong officials are not as prestigious as anyone. If anyone looks at the people, a bad attitude towards service may be deducted from the bonus that year. Some of them may even be beaten with more than a dozen or so and then dismissed from their posts.
The positions of officials and people in Shandong are reversed. Officials are called public servants of the people, that is, servants jointly owned by the people. Although the salary is relatively high, there are many things to do and it is more tiring.
Those who are capable can be the officialdom of Shandong, which values ability. If you really have the ability, the appreciation will still be very fast. Those who are willing to work hard and are not afraid of being tired can become officials. Such people will also become faster.
But if you don’t have these advantages, it’s better to be a teacher.
The minimum wage of teachers is nearly twice as high as workmanship, and there are some welfare benefits, so they don’t have to be as tiring as being an official. If you can become a teacher, your life will basically be very prosperous.
The same thing is said, as long as you are willing to learn, nothing will not be successful. If you can’t be a middle school teacher, you can be a primary school teacher. You can learn a little every day and teach for a few years. Maybe you will become a middle school teacher.
Being a teacher is difficult, but it is not possible.
If you are not an official or a teacher, you can find a good job in the factory and your salary will also increase if you have a culture.
Some people don’t work overtime and touch silver. What is touch silver? That is to report, report gambling, usury, theft, officials [***], wanted criminals, etc. in Shandong, and some people go out to investigate every day, commonly known as touch silver.
The Three Western Prefectures have just been fully incorporated into the original Denglai system. If you are lucky, you will still encounter illegal phenomena, but there is basically no chance that the Three Eastern Prefectures will encounter illegal phenomena.
Wang Shitou wanted to go out to try his luck at first, but after his colleagues persuaded him, he decided to study at night school. Some colleagues who were learning the beginning said that this thing is very simple. As long as you learn pinyin and read dictionary, you can learn by yourself in the future. Read more articles in daily life and learn writing skills in a few years. Arithmetic is even simpler, just practice abacus and other things, multiplication and division are also very simple, just memorize formulas.
It will only take five or six years to get a primary school level.
Seeing Shandong treating cultural people so favorably, Wang Shitou couldn't help but look forward to his five babies being in school! When they come out of school, they will be able to live a good life in the future.
But before the baby comes out of school, he still has to work hard on his own!
It was indeed the right choice to come to Shandong! You are better than before. The five children don’t come back very often. They only come back for two days in a week, but every time they come back, they happily tell them about life in school. The eldest is eleven years old this year, and he said that he wants to join the army in the future and become a general. The second is nine years old. He said that he wants to be a scientist when he grows up. The third and fourth are daughters and they also go to school. They said that they will be teachers in the future. The youngest son is seven years old this year, and he has no ideals yet, so he said that the school is very fun.
This Wang Shitou was so happy that he didn't object to his eldest son joining the army. Joining the army in Shandong is a great future, and it does not require too high culture. If you can be a cultural soldier, the military salary will be higher, and there will be rewards for fighting a war.
What kind of small wealthy families are the most in Shandong? The soldiers are the most in the small wealthy families! There are also a group of middle-class families, but are there no big wealthy families?
If the boss can fight for a small wealthy family, Wang Shitou is already very satisfied. If the second brother wants to be a scientist, there is a great future!
I heard that scientists from those science and technology institutes have a net worth of thousands of taels. And there are more and more people who get rich because of patent inventions. It is often news that someone has invented some technology and get rich overnight.
Wang Shitou doesn't object to his two daughters as teachers. Teachers are promising industries, such as those who are willing to work overtime at night, have higher monthly salary.
As for the youngest son, he is at the golden age of learning. Although his ambition has not been determined yet, Wang Shitou has the greatest expectations for his youngest son.
If you come to Shandong, you will have a worry-free life and a bright future.
Two months after Wang Shitou came to Shandong, he became famous in the recruitment bureau and returned to Songjiang again. He directly recruited hundreds of households to Shandong and earned ten taels of extra money.
With the encouragement of such immigration, the people of various provinces moved to Shandong in large numbers, and Shandong's population increased rapidly.
