The Rise of the European Emperor

"You also grab the primary school students?" Ma Lin almost spit out a sip of tea when he heard the demands of the master craftsmen in Beihai.

"Well, we want these elementary school students!" Many master craftsmen from Beihai Kingdom nodded their heads.

Even Da Vinci, who was originally watching the fun, interjected:

"Even I want to pick a few outstanding ones to be assistants!"

Marlin immediately rolled his eyes:

"Please, when the batch of junior high school students have graduated, you can choose again!" Anyway, Marin planned to let Da Vinci serve as a teacher in the future University of Science and Technology. Those top science students after graduating from junior high school must have been sent to Da Vinci for teaching.

"Cough, it's not a little urgent. You know, the group of smart young apprentices sent before, although smart, but they have no cultural foundation, it is difficult to teach them, they must first teach them literacy and simple mathematical calculations. , The headache is dead... It's not like these elementary school graduates have a good cultural foundation." Da Vinci touched his nose and explained embarrassingly.

But as soon as Da Vinci finished speaking, the master craftsmen of Beihai Kingdom nodded, expressing their agreement with Da Vinci's words.

In fact, it takes some luck for these great craftsmen to recruit apprentices. If you recruit smart apprentices, you will learn quickly. However, if you recruit natural idiots, you won't be able to teach them.

It would be different if the guide case was chosen from among the group of primary school students in Marin. Because, this batch of elementary school students was eliminated once as early as two years ago, and all the scumbags were eliminated.

Although the remaining 4,000 people were eliminated this time, at least their learning ability is medium, and they will never be the kind that cannot be taught. Moreover, these elementary school graduates have a certain cultural foundation, and their comprehension ability far exceeds those of those who are not literate. Teaching is multiplied with half the effort.

As for those junior high school students, there is no shadow yet. Even if they graduate from junior high school, they may not be able to grab it. Therefore, it is better to seize the present and grab a group of people from the 4,000 elementary school graduates. In this way, it can also save a lot of worry.

In fact, for these great craftsmen, a smart apprentice is also very important. Just like those university professors in later generations, who brought a group of postgraduates, many of the hard work can be done by those postgraduates, and they only do the core work. In this way, it can also save a lot of effort. What's more, in later generations, some university professors used postgraduate students as livestock, which led to some doctoral students committing suicide because of too much pressure...

In short, recruiting smart apprentices can also save the master a lot of trouble. After all, an apprenticeship for 7 years is not paid. The apprentice learns it a year earlier, and the master can use it as a coolie earlier...

...

After understanding the thoughts of these great craftsmen,

Marin was also dumbfounded. He really didn't expect that elementary school students who were scolded and scolded in later games would be looted by big craftsmen in this era.

In fact, these craftsmen do not know that Marin has a bigger education plan in the future - Marin intends to select some high-level talents from them after the first batch of talents in East Frisian has been cultivated. Worked as a teacher in several provinces of Beihai to train more primary and junior high school students. Knowledge, this education program is still in its infancy and experimental stage, and there is a serious shortage of teachers, so the scale cannot be scaled up.

...

Originally, Marin planned to select 2,000 of the 4,000 primary school graduates to go to the non-commissioned officer school, which is part-time work-study. In this way, after a few years, he will have 2,000 high-quality non-commissioned officers in his hands. In this way, the combat effectiveness of the army can also be improved.

However, seeing the meaning of the great craftsmen here today, it seems a little difficult to explain...

To this end, Marin had to revise the plan and compress the number of the first batch of non-commissioned officers to 1,000. After all, there will be a batch of primary school students graduating next year, so you can choose again.

So, Marin immediately signed an order and ordered the teachers of the 20 artisan schools to select the 1,000 most brave, calm and obedient people and send them to the non-commissioned officer school to study. The remaining 3,000 people will be handed over to those great craftsmen to choose...

But in order to compete for the 3,000 primary school students, those great craftsmen staged a "full martial arts" in front of Marin, and many people raised their fists... If it wasn't for the guards to stop, some of the great craftsmen might be beaten up...

"Quiet, quiet! Stop arguing, each of you will explain your reasons and explain the importance of your career. Then, I will judge how many people to allocate!"

As soon as Marin finished speaking, Stephen, the head of the steel plant (and chief craftsman), raised his hand and stood up:

"me!"

"Okay, Stephen, tell me your reasons!" Marin gestured.

"Yes, Grand Duke! The importance of our steel factory must be very clear to the Grand Duke. All the guns, swords, armors and agricultural tools in Beihai Kingdom are supplied by our steel factory. Therefore, our status is very important. . Therefore, our steel plant needs 500 apprentices!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Parini, the Italian watchmaker of the watch factory, was not happy:

"Having said that, but, Stephen, do you think children who are only twelve or thirteen years old can adapt to such a heavy labor in a steel factory? They are all children, and they can play some delicate work. Steel, their bodies It's hard to play... Well, so, it's more appropriate to come to our watch factory. It doesn't take much effort to make a watch, the key is to be smart and careful... I also applied for 500 people..."

"We also want 500 apprentices in our gun factory!" Barrett, the director of the gun factory, also shouted. Well, Barrett was appointed by Marin as the director of the gun factory because of his very military name. Of course, its own ability is not bad.

"What are you kidding? A gun factory requires more strength than a steel factory. You know, gun barrels are made by blacksmiths hammer by hammer with a heavy blacksmith's hammer. Are those twelve or thirteen year olds up to the job? So, It's better to come to our textile factory, I want 500 apprentices!" Bo Xi, the manager of the textile factory, said loudly.

"Come on, Percy, weaving is a girl's game. These little gentlemen, it's better to come to my tannery to make leather products! The tannery needs 500 apprentices!" ) Link said loudly.

"Haha, as far as I know, among the civilians of Beihai Kingdom, the straw sandals invented by the Grand Duke are more popular now. Link, you old shoemaker is useless, and you have no prospects for pulling 500 children with you? So, It is more promising to come to our glass factory, we need 500 apprentices!" The glass factory director (and chief craftsman) Romeni said confidently.

...

Marin was a little dumbfounded-you asked for 500 people one by one, but I only have 3,000 people left here, which is not enough...

At this time, Abich, the director of the shipyard who had never spoken, stood up and said solemnly:

"Grand Duke, I think the North Sea Kingdom, which aims to conquer the wild continent, should have more high-level shipbuilders. Therefore, I want 1,000 apprentices!"

Abigail didn't say much, but it spoke to Marin's heart. After all, great sailing requires a lot of ships. Well, to build a ship, you need not only materials, but also enough craftsmen. Therefore, Marin immediately approved.

However, the other great craftsmen quit and quarreled. Marin also has a headache, but he is not used to it, but he directly slams a sentence:

"There are only 2,000 people left, whether you like it or not. As for how to distribute it, you can discuss it yourself and then tell me. I'll go out first..." Then, Marin escaped and seemed to have left the palace conference room. However, he still left dozens of guards, mainly to prevent those factory managers and master craftsmen from fighting...

Then, those guys quarreled for a day and a night, and almost performed Quanwu Xing several times before finally determining the specific share. Afterwards, Marin signed directly and let them go back...

"Huh—it's really hard! I didn't expect that assigning jobs to a group of elementary school students could cause such a big uproar... If those college students who are hard-to-find in the future heard about it, they would probably envy these elementary school students..." Of course, They envy the ease with which elementary school students find jobs, but they will never envy their treatment. After all, there are five insurances and one housing fund in future work, as well as various holidays such as weekends. And the apprentices of this era have no human rights...
