When Hu Changan heard this, he also smiled slightly and said: "Why, why can't you be qualified?"
"What I teach in the School of the Ministry of Industry is new knowledge, not the Four Books and Five Classics."
"With a little training, I believe you will be able to master new knowledge."
"Now that you have new knowledge, why can't you teach it to others?"
Hu Changan even felt that letting these craftsmen teach would be more effective than those taught by masters.
After all, those masters would only follow the script and let them teach, and they could only repeat what Hu Changan said.
Although the memory of these craftsmen is not as good as that of the masters, they are still active on the front line of production.
Their understanding of production must be deeper than those masters.
Physics and chemistry are both highly practical subjects, and only these craftsmen can combine their past practical experiences in their explanations, so that everyone can better discover the uses of these two new subjects.
When everyone heard this, they were all moved.
I didn’t expect that these rough guys could be chosen as the masters of the new school!
This is simply a huge amount of trust in them!
Looking at the moved eyes of everyone, Hu Changan also smiled slightly and said: "However, this selection is also conditional. I will only select one-eighth of you to be the teachers of the new Ministry of Industry."
Although Hu Changan also wanted to select more people for his Ministry of Industry School, he had no choice but to have limited personnel.
These workers still have to maintain the normal activities of the Ministry of Works!
If too many candidates are selected at once, Xue Xiang, Minister of Industry, will most likely come to trouble Hu Changan.
So Hu Changan had no choice but to settle for the next best thing and only select one-eighth of the people.
In this way, not only can Hu Changan's school be able to recruit people, but the Ministry of Industry can also barely maintain operations.
After hearing this, everyone held their heads high and waited for Hu Changan's choice.
They also want to be famous and become a master that everyone respects!
Seeing that everyone's emotions were aroused, Hu Changan also smiled slightly and told everyone the rules for selecting people: "I will tell you a story later, and you need to repeat the story in your own words."
"I will select someone among you who can be a master based on the quality of your retelling of the story."
After hearing this, everyone nodded.
So Hu Changan cleared his throat and began to talk: "It is said that in ancient times, there were ten suns in the sky..."
What Hu Changan tells is the story of Hou Yi shooting the sun.
This is also a well-known fairy tale.
After everyone heard this, they were full of confidence.
Soon, the first person began to repeat: "A long, long time ago, the Eastern Emperor gave birth to ten children..."
When Hu Changan heard this, he also nodded and motioned for the man to stand aside.
This person is fluent in the language and is barely qualified.
When the man heard this, he immediately stood aside with a face full of joy.
He was successfully selected!
He is about to become a glorious Master!
When other people saw this, they all cast envious looks at that man.
This luck is so good!
They want to be chosen too!
After the first person walked aside, the second person began to repeat: "A long time ago... in the sky... there were ten suns...
"
Compared with the first person, the second person's language is obviously not that fluent.
Not only did he pause a lot, his voice was also stammering.
When Hu Changan heard this, he shook his head helplessly.
When the man saw this, he was slightly disappointed.
It seems that his language skills are really not good enough!
But soon, the man adjusted his mentality.
If you're not selected, so what?
Anyway, he is still a member of the Ministry of Industry.
As long as you work hard, bonuses will always be indispensable!
Seeing that the man quickly became excited, Hu Changan nodded with satisfaction, and then went to interview the third person.
Soon, everyone had finished retelling.
Hu Changan also selected dozens of eloquent craftsmen based on their retelling of the story.
They will become the first batch of teachers in the School of the Ministry of Industry!
The next day, Hu Changan brought the selected people to the School of the Ministry of Industry on time and taught them about physics and chemistry.
Everyone in the audience listened very seriously.
They must not miss such a good opportunity!
Time goes by like this day by day.
Finally, two months later, good news came from the printing room of the Ministry of Rites.
Hu Changan's book is printed!
Not only that, the Ministry of Rites also exceeded the task and printed two hundred books directly for Hu Changan.
When Hu Changan saw this, he nodded with satisfaction.
Good, he finally doesn't have to wait another three months.
In this way, the teaching materials and teachers will be available.
Thus, the Ministry of Industry School was opened!
For this reason, Hu Changan also asked his acquaintances from the Wucheng Military and Horse Department to post notices on every government office in Yingtian City.
Any craftsman over twenty years old, or anyone interested in becoming a craftsman, can come to the newly built Ministry of Industry School to take free classes.
Classes run from morning to noon, with one lunch included.
Hu Changan thought very well.
In ancient times, eating was a big deal.
Hu Changan believed that as long as he put up a sign saying he was in charge of food, many people would come here.
Moreover, this school at the Ministry of Industry only holds classes for half a day.
In the afternoon, people who come to class can go back to their homes and go to work.
In this way, you can not delay your work, but you can also take care of the food, and you can also learn knowledge. It is simply killing three birds with one stone.
Hu Changan felt that since he offered such generous terms, he wouldn't worry about no one coming.
But the reality was far beyond Hu Changan's expectations.
For several days in a row, the entrance to the School of the Ministry of Industry was deserted.
Only a few people who looked like gangsters came to ask if they could beg for a meal.
There is no serious-looking craftsman who wants to study here!
Hu Changan was completely puzzled.
Now everything is ready, only students are missing.
Hu Changan must not let the Ministry of Industry School he carefully built die on the last step!
More importantly, this Ministry of Industry School is an important part of Hu Changan's future plans.
Only with a large number of workers who mastered basic scientific methods could Hu Changan start the subsequent industrial revolution and continue to increase the productivity of the Ming Dynasty.
Otherwise, all the ideas in Hu Changan's mind will only become castles in the air.
Without concrete operations, a great idea is just an idea.
So that day, Hu Changan dressed up and came to Tongwen Teahouse.
Tongwen Teahouse is the largest teahouse in Yingtian City.
Near Tong Van Tea House, there are many large and small handicraft workshops.
