Improving the status and status of these technicians requires an opportunity, which is not a quick process. Moreover, craftsmen are not the same as soldiers, because it is not rare to see a pen from Rong among literati, and there are still many people who can see the importance of soldiers to the country. But these craftsmen, even themselves, have become accustomed to believing that they are inferior, so this needs to pass one or several things to slowly drive the society's perception of technicians. Let the people, let this fit realize the importance of technology, and then realize the importance of the technicians who invent and improve these technologies.

Xia Hongsheng intends to let his university become a pioneer, open up these categories in the university, encourage students to study these technical disciplines, and then also have a "Nobel" prize, step by step to guide the people's views on craftsmen.

Of course, these will have to wait until his university is established.

Now in front of him, Xia Hongsheng needs to do the things at hand first, and the military academy is also Xia Hongsheng's hard work. Today, after three months of training for new students, it is finally time for the final elimination exam.

Among the more than 2,700 people, more than 100 people want to be eliminated, and no one wants to be one of these more than 100 people. If you think about it, if you didn't enter the military school at all, it would be okay to say, but after three months of entering the military school, you were eliminated again, and this feeling is even more uncomfortable. In fact, in the intervening three months, another building has been completed and ready for use. These more than 100 people can actually be accommodated. However, after Xia Hongsheng and Ma Zhou discussed, Zheng Rang decided to keep the official entrance qualification test after the training of new students. One comes. When you sign up. That is, the threshold for entering the training of new trainees. At present, it is very low, especially in this first phase, as long as the physical examination has been completed, there are no obvious defects to enter the new trainee training, so it is necessary to pass the test after the new trainee training to reflect the good and bad. Second, it is also a wake-up call for these new students, warning them that even if they pass the admission, they still can't relax.

In the future. With the increase in the number of registered students, the threshold for entering the training of new students will also be increased accordingly, at that time, it is necessary to directly enter the training of new students, when entering the school through a variety of ways to eliminate, and the test after the training of new students is more turned to the meaning of warning, reminding these new students that they can not relax for a moment.

Xia Hongsheng, as well as Ma Zhou and the group of teachers, all followed behind Li Jing, Duan Zhixuan, and Niu Jinda. A group of people walked next to each classroom in each classroom. The students are in the process of answering in writing, and the content of the exam is mainly the literacy and writing they have learned in the past three months. In the afternoon, there will be a session on ideology and politics, and the next morning, there will be a physical fitness test. The sum of the scores of the three items is the final result, and the last 100 celebrities will be eliminated from the military academy, and they can only wait for the enrollment of the military academy next year and apply for the exam again. Those who stayed were happy, but those who were eliminated were not without gains. At the very least, they have learned to read and write, and they are no longer a blank slate, but they have also learned the content of the training of new students, as long as they keep exercising during this year, they will be more sure in the coming year.

Li Jing led everyone from classroom to classroom, and in the examination room were those who were selected from the previous three hundred people as preparatory instructors invigilating the exam, Xia Hongsheng and the others turned around and stood on the campus, waiting for the end of the exam.

"Virtuous nephew, the old man always thinks that if he decides to stay based on these three items alone, wouldn't it be too arbitrary?" Duan Zhixuan said to Xia Hongsheng, although he was strict, he also cherished talents: "Take that physical fitness test as an example, have you ever heard of Chen Qingzhi beside Xiao Yan, Emperor Wu of Southern Liang?" That Chen Qingzhi was weak, even ordinary bows and crossbows were difficult to open, and he was even more bad at riding horses and archery. However, he was courageous, strategic, and well-led, and was a Confucian general who won the hearts of the people. If you follow the test of the virtuous nephew, then there will be no famous generals of this generation. ”

"Well, that's a problem." Niu Jinda also nodded and agreed: "You must know that there are strengths and weaknesses in talent, and everyone is good at it." If we just follow a rule, we will inevitably miss talents. We also have to think of a way to avoid missing the talent. ”

Li Jing shook his head and said, "The old man feels that there is nothing wrong with him when he arrives. In our military academy, the trainees are generals, and they are the ones who will lead the troops to fight in the future. And if you are a general, you must be comprehensive. Courage alone, but no resourcefulness, no, wisdom alone, if there is no physical strength, if not. Chen Qingzhi is bound to be a minority. ”

"This ......" Xia Hongsheng thought for a while and said, "This is indeed a problem, otherwise we would ...... Next time we enroll students, let's add a special enrollment, that is, people who are very good at a certain aspect. We recruited them into the military academy with their specialties and let them also become military cadets. However, after entering the military academy, he must catch up with his shortcomings, what do you think? ”

"Special enrollment ......" Duan Zhixuan lowered his head and groaned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes, pay attention to this." ”

Li Jing and Niu Jinda also thought for a while, then nodded in agreement.

As he spoke, the time for the exam in the morning had arrived, and he only heard a bamboo whistle, followed by a few shouts from the military academy: "It's time for the exam, all hands in the papers!" ”

Upstairs immediately remembered the sound of getting up and pushing chairs, and Li Jing and the others also turned around and went back to the office.

After that, the instructors couldn't go any further, and they were about to start grading the students' papers.

Xia Hongsheng was most afraid of changing the papers, so he immediately decided to be lazy, and excused himself that he still needed to go to the East Market and the West Market to see, so he left first.

came out of the military academy and rode to Xishi with Qi Yong, who was recruiting people in the past few days, and the location was in Xishi.

When I arrived in the West Market, I saw a crowd of people from a distance, and there were people rubbing shoulders one after another, and there were no people at all.

The two had to dismount and watch from a distance outside the West Market, Xia Hongsheng scratched his head, a little surprised: "I didn't expect so many people to ......"

"Childe, it's not a farming job now, and I'm idle at home." Qi Yong said: "Moreover, the conditions you gave are too good, you can eat and live, and pay your salary on a monthly basis, where are there such good conditions in the place next to you?" So there are more natural people. ”

"It's good if there are more people, and when there are more people, the work can be done quickly." Xia Hongsheng smiled, in fact, it was not how good the conditions he offered, but that they had never encountered them before.

"Childe, if you look at it this way, it will be enough in less than three days." Qi Yong looked at those people and said.

Xia Hongsheng nodded, it is better to hurry up, recruit enough people earlier, start reconstruction earlier, and rebuild the two cities in the east and west as soon as possible, Xia Hongsheng's business will be able to return to normal and get on the right track as soon as possible.

The two cities in the east and west were burned down, leaving Chang'an City in the cold a lot, and many businesses were affected.

Although the winery and Mingxiangju were not burned down slightly because of their favorable location, many cooperative merchants were not so lucky. Their businesses were either burned down or damaged, and now they are no longer able to operate normally, which also affects many other related businesses. The most obvious is the business of the winery, originally the winery's largest customers in Chang'an City are restaurants, green buildings and the like, and their daily consumption of alcohol is very considerable. Among them, the Zuixian Building is the majority, but the Zuixian Building was burned down by a fire, and the winery is missing one of the biggest customers, which has a great impact.

Therefore, Xia Hongsheng is eager to resume the operation of the East and West Cities as soon as possible, so that his own industry can improve again.

Xia Hongsheng is now in a hurry to make money, so he is also in a hurry to rebuild the East and West Cities.

Rebuilding the two cities in the east and west, Xia Hongsheng can also make a lot of money. Because most of the main materials needed are produced by Xia Hongsheng's own family. Cement, masonry, these Xia Hongsheng's Zhuangzi can be self-produced, but the cost is made according to the market price, in addition, other materials found the right way, in fact, it is not really bought according to the market price, because the demand is so much, so it will be lower than the market price.

"Qi Yong, how is Zhuangzi's preparation?" Xia Hongsheng asked.

"Childe, it's all ready, and when this side starts, it can be transported over immediately." Qi Yong had just gone to Zhuangzi to see the situation, so he opened his mouth and came immediately.

Xia Hongsheng nodded: "Okay, when the recruitment is almost done, let's start immediately." The two cities of the East and West have been rebuilt as soon as possible, and our business will be opened as soon as possible. ”

As he spoke, he suddenly heard a laugh behind him, and said, "Hehe, Xiahou, I will no longer preside over the exam at the military academy today, why did I come here in person?" ”

Looking back, the person who came was Yan Lide, so he smiled and said, "Didn't Yan Shangshu also come here without watching the construction at the military academy?" ”

"Haha, the old man was ordered by His Majesty to be the overseer of the two cities of the East and the West, and to supervise the construction of the two cities." Yan Lide said with a smile: "This time, Xiahou has to be so angry with the old man!" ”

"Nature, nature!" Xia Hongsheng smiled and arched his hand, the two are old acquaintances, looking at each other and joking, there is nothing. "According to this trend, I'm afraid that the people will be able to recruit enough in less than three days." Yan Lide looked at the crowded crowd and said, "I haven't seen them so enthusiastic when the imperial court recruited. ”

"There will be brave men under the heavy reward, and the conditions I gave are very good in the eyes of these people, so they will naturally be more positive." Xia Hongsheng explained with a smile: "If one day in the future, whether it is the court or a private person, the construction that needs manpower can be like I am today, then the people will naturally no longer be afraid of forced labor, but will compete to do the work." ”

"The Imperial Court? Where did the imperial court get so much money to support all the construction and distribute it to the recruited people? Xiahou's words were difficult to achieve. Yan Lide shook his head.

Xia Hongsheng was noncommittal, just smiled. (To be continued.) )
