In the northwest corner of Kaifeng City, by the Wuzhang River, a new courtyard has been set up. The white walls of the Daiwa www.biquge.info are not bricks and tiles, that is, bluestone, and the several two-story buildings dotted in them are all brick and stone structures. In this era of heavy use of rammed earth and timber, this piece of architecture exudes a different kind of toughness and another flavor.

A large group of people who are promoted, engaged in official work, and who are in charge of office work among the officials are above the gate early. In the distance, he saw a horse approaching, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

Xu Ping turned over and dismounted, said a few words, and didn't stay much under the sun, and followed everyone into the gate.

This is the training center of various companies under the three divisions, which Xu Ping built according to the self-run model of a large enterprise in his previous life. No matter what the company is, the personnel training and learning are mainly here, and only those small learning classes that are closely integrated with the actual situation are organized by the company itself. In terms of scale, organization and effectiveness of learning, it has far surpassed Guozijian and is actually the largest school in the capital. However, after completing their studies, the students here enter the companies, not the government, and the scholars do not pay attention to this place, except for officials who have contacts in official affairs.

Because of the iron rice bowl when entering the company, especially those management positions, the treatment is more generous than that of the low-level officials in the government. There are thousands of officials in the capital, who can shade their children and grandchildren, and one person will raise the whole family to the middle level and above, and the petty officials at the lower level will not be so generously treated. Their sons used to go to the official offices of various yamen and the officials of various fields, especially those who had oil and water, and they also flocked to them. It is a big mistake to think that the children of scholars and scholars disdain to be public officials, and every time a new official is recruited, these people are the largest group of applicants.

Especially recently, the capital has begun to learn Jingxi Road and train special bookkeepers, which is even more popular, and there are even many people who have been transferred from Guozijian to learn to do accounts. Jinshi is not so easy to take the exam, and after reading the sage book for a lifetime, if you don't get into the jinshi, you are nothing, and it is not even easy to find a teaching position in the capital. Seventy or eighty years old to have a special name, not necessarily able to survive, even if you get an official body, there is no future, and the treatment of low-level candidates is not as good as the current company's accounting.

The capital is good here, everything may be missing, but there is never a shortage of people. Moreover, as long as there are families with no worries about food and clothing, most of the children can read and write, and the quality of personnel is far from being comparable to other places.

Cai Tiju, who is in his fifties, is an official, and only got a real shortage in his thirties, and now he has been in the officialdom for 20 years, and he is still the lowest level of officials. If it was in Xu Ping's previous life, it would be impossible to imagine that such an institution would be managed by such a small official, but this era is like this, let alone this training institution, a large number of company managers are low-level petty officials, and many are military attachés. The so-called redundant officials are basically redundant on these people. Xu Ping set up these companies and gave these people a way out, and it was much better to have a real life, and they were all grateful to Xu Ping from the bottom of their hearts.

I entered the governor's hall and served tea. A bowl of sour plum soup went down, and the heat on his body slowly dissipated.

Xu Ping asked Cai Tiju, who was standing in front of him: "It's been nearly a year since you built here, how many students are there now?" ”

Cai Tiju said respectfully: "Back to the provincial master, there are three hundred and twenty-six people studying now, of which two hundred and sixty-three people are from various companies, and sixty-three people are recruited from outside. ”

"How well did they learn? What's the problem with you? ”

"Learn carefully, after all, if you learn well, you will have a bowl of rice to eat, who dares to slack off? Speaking of stumbling, everything else is good, but people who lack education. It's good to teach people from the company to have a rough literacy, but it's hard to find a teacher for some of the knowledge they need to use in doing things, and arithmetic. There are very few such people, and the ones we can invite here are even rarer. ”

Xu Ping said to Ye Qingchen beside him: "Judge Ye, you have to pay more attention to the things here, and you have to write down what Cai Tiju said." We didn't build these houses to look good, but to really teach people who can do things. Now everything is equivalent to thinking about another stove on a blank field, and everything must be difficult, only to put more thought into it. Having said that, if you do a good job here in the past two years, it will be much easier in the future. ”

Ye Qingchen's face was embarrassed: "Provincial Lord, everything else is okay to say, lack of money and food, the third treasurer will allocate it." But where do you find those who lack teaching? Most of the things in the company have not been done before, and everyone doesn't understand them, so how can they find someone to teach? I'm afraid that this matter will have to be considered in the long run. ”

Xu Ping shook his head: "That's not what you say, people are not born to know it, learn by doing, and teach while learning." It's a big deal that I can't figure it out for a while, and there are some mistakes in teaching, so it's good to correct it later. The key is to select people who do well in the company, give them more money, higher status, and let those who do well teach. Teaching and learning are mutually beneficial, and when they teach, they will also find more deficiencies, and things will get better and better. ”

"The words of the provincial lord, the subordinates remembered."

Xu Ping nodded, still unsatisfied, and said to a few people around him: "The most important thing for officials to do things is to promote the good and eliminate the disadvantages." How can we eliminate the pros and cons? In reality, 99 out of 100 of the difficulties we encounter are not found in the books of the sages. Lu Zhenghuigong, the prime minister of the Taizong Dynasty, once said: 'Ploughing asks slaves, weaving asks maids', which means that when we encounter something, don't think about it out of thin air, but bow your head, bend down, and ask those who really do these things. With the reality of what they do, and then with the understanding of the principles of heaven and earth in your chest, you can really understand a thing. This school, don't underestimate it, according to me, the officials in the three divisions can also come to listen to it and learn it in their spare time. You don't have to be as proficient as the students here, and knowing a general idea will be of infinite benefit to managing things in the future. At least, you don't have to rely on officials for everything. ”

Zhao He nodded yes with several judges, as for how much they listened to Xu Ping's words in their hearts, only they knew. How many people can understand the affairs of officials in this era? For most people, that's an impossible task.

Xu Ping said again: "For officials, the promotion and deposition of their subordinates is a big deal, and it is even more so for so many companies under the three divisions. You are all people who have been officials for many years, and you are accustomed to governing officials strictly, and the most important thing is to pick out those black sheep and punish them severely. If you want me to say, don't do that with these new companies. People are greedy, incompetent, slack, perfunctory, and it is inevitable that there will be too many people. The first priority is not to eliminate these people, but to do the opposite, to select those who are diligent, smart, well-behaved, and good at inventing, and give them higher positions and better treatment, so that they can give full play to their abilities. In a word, the most important thing in the company is not to eliminate the inferior, but to select the best, which is different from being an official before, you remember. ”
