"Sir, if you want to find a way out for the academy students, then I have a suggestion." Sun Xian said with a smile.
Han Du glanced at Sun Xian in surprise and said with interest, "Oh? Let's talk about it."
Sun Xian smacked his lips and said with a smile: "I thought we could bring in other merchants and ask them to recruit academy students as well. Sir, I also know that even if the machinery workshop is split up, it may be possible to temporarily accommodate academy students, but What about next?”
"In the future, there will be more and more students in the academy, and one day there will be no room for them. But if merchants can recruit academy students, then it will truly provide a broad avenue for academy students." Sun Xian was afraid that Han Du would misunderstand, Thinking that he was speaking for the merchant, he quickly explained that after all, this kind of behavior was suspected of robbing his husband.
"Would they be willing to do this?" Han Du frowned.
If it were the past, Han Du would definitely not want the academy students to be recruited by merchants. But now that Zhu Yunye has begun to suppress the academy, Handu no longer excludes them from working for merchants. After all, his machinery workshop is also the behavior of merchants.
"Sir, do you agree?" Sun Xian was originally worried that Han Du would refuse, but he didn't expect that he would agree so easily.
Han Du let out a long sigh, waved his hands without explaining much, and just said indifferently, "Continue talking."
"Yes." Sun Xian suddenly became happy and said with excitement: "Sir, you don't know that there are many merchants in the capital who are eyeing the academy students. If they were not afraid of offending you, they would have tried their best to leave the academy. Robbing people.”
When Han Du heard that the merchant was targeting the college students, not only was he not angry at all, but he felt happy and relieved.
Zhu Yunye thought he was wise, but in terms of foresight and brilliance, he was not as good as a businessman. '
"I agree that they will come to the academy to recruit students, but not now, wait until next year. You can spread the word and allow merchants to recruit academy students next year." Han Du decided.
"Don't worry, sir, this time next year, the academy will be very lively." Sun Xian nodded and smiled in response.
It is indeed too late this year. The mechanical workshop has just recruited once in the academy. In addition, as the mechanical workshop is split up, more academy students will inevitably be needed to join, and there will be no extra people left for those merchants.
In fact, even next year, Han Du can arrange the academy students properly. However, for the sake of future plans, Han Du was willing to give up even some people.
As he spoke, Han Du showed a smile on his face, and said with a hint of exhortation: "You must hurry up about the splitting of the machinery workshop."
The mechanical workshop is related to the future of the college students. It is better to separate it first and wait for the students than to let the students wait for placement.
Sun Xian frowned and said with some embarrassment: "Sir, if we split the machinery workshop now, it will probably cost a lot of money."
"You don't have to worry about money." Han Du wrote lightly and pondered for a while, "I will give you the entire year's income from the train. You just need to do as I ask."
"In this way, the students can rest assured." Sun Xian smiled and cupped his hands towards Han Du.
"And." Han Du added with a smile.
Sun Xian responded quickly: "Sir, please speak."
"The demand for pedal sewing machines is strong now. Even if we want to split it up, you have to ensure its production first. This is related to our current profits." Han Du said solemnly.
"Don't worry, sir, the student will remember it." Sun Xian said happily.
...
It didn't take long for Sun Xian to follow Han Du's instructions and split the machinery workshop into a steel workshop, a pedal sewing machine workshop, etc.
The steel workshop specializes in steelmaking, while the pedal sewing machine workshop specializes in manufacturing pedal sewing machines.
Such a big move as the dismantling of the machinery workshop naturally attracted people's attention.
The merchants were especially puzzled. The restaurant was full of merchants talking about the split of the machinery workshop.
"Everyone, tell me, what's wrong with this town? How come a good mechanical workshop needs to be dismantled into pieces all of a sudden?"
"Yes, what a wonderful workshop, it makes the old man jealous."
"Then you don't need to be jealous now. Didn't it all be demolished? Maybe the Duke of Zhen demolished it just because he was afraid that you people would be jealous."
The old man just now showed a sad face for a moment, "My eyes were indeed red with jealousy before, but now that I am watching it being demolished, I feel even more uncomfortable..."
The old man's words resonated with everyone. For a moment, the people here who were laughing and laughing just now fell silent, and an atmosphere of extreme pity spread among everyone. spread among them.
The person who just made fun of the old man also bowed slightly and apologized to him politely. "I have a bad mouth, sir, please forgive me."
No matter what people outside guess, the dismantling of the machinery workshop is proceeding in an orderly manner under the command of Sun Xian.
Sun Xian gathered the students who had just been recruited from the academy. Sun Xian knew the other craftsmen in the workshop very well and could directly arrange the craftsmen to various workshops.
Only for these newly recruited students, Sun Xian had limited understanding of them and did not know what they liked to do, so he wanted to ask their opinions in person.
In a lobby, Sun Xian was sitting on the front stage, quietly waiting for the students to arrive.
This lobby is somewhat similar to a classroom in an academy. After the students arrive, they find their own seats to sit down without saying anything.
After everyone had arrived, Sun Xian slowly stood up.
The smile suddenly bloomed and he said: "Everyone knows recently that our machinery workshop will be split up, and each workshop will run independently in the future. And I don't know what you like, so I'm here to find you today. I want to hear your respective opinions.”
“Everyone can register here if they want to go to a workshop.”
After Sun Xian finished speaking, a burst of noisy discussion suddenly erupted in the lobby.
Sun Xian didn't stop him, he just sat back on the chair and watched quietly.
The discussion grew from small to loud, then from loud to quiet, and the hall gradually became quiet.
After it completely quieted down, no student stood up to speak.
Sun Xian put down his tea cup and spoke with a smile, "Everyone can put forward any ideas or opinions. We can talk about anything today."
While everyone was still hesitating, Jiang Shan could not sit still for the first time. He immediately stood up and asked loudly: "Mr. Sun, if we go to other workshops, will our salary be reduced?"
He had just received a month's salary and asked someone to take the money back and ask his family to come to the capital to join him. If his salary is less now, a little less will not have much impact, but if it is much less, then his whole family will be in trouble.
Jiang Shan looked at Sun Xian with a nervous look on his face. He cared about his salary more than anyone else.
Sun Xian didn't even get up, he just sat on the chair and shook his head casually: "No! Not only will it not happen, but in order to make you feel at ease, the workshop will immediately repay you one month's salary, which is considered to be for you. It’s overwhelming.”
Everyone had smiles on their faces when they heard that there was an extra twenty dollars in salary for no reason.
After all, it's like picking up money, and it's still twenty pieces of money. Who can be unhappy? As for the panic caused by the machinery workshop being split up, it disappeared instantly.
Jiang Shan's eyes brightened after hearing this, and his face was full of excitement. He bowed to Sun Xian happily and said, "Mr. Sun, the student has no problem."
After saying that, he sat back down peacefully.
"Sir, can we go wherever we want to go?" someone asked with doubts.
Sun Xian nodded cleanly and explained: "Don't worry, no matter where you want to go, I will agree. The reason why I let you choose is because I don't know what you each like. But on this point, you I should know it very well.”
"But you should be careful when choosing, and be sure to choose a workshop that you really like. Otherwise, you will not be happy in the future, and it may be a bit difficult to choose again. not easy."
After hearing this, all the students looked solemn.
In other words, if nothing else happens, they only have one chance to choose.
Everyone lowered their heads and pondered, asking them where they really wanted to go in their hearts.
"Sir, what if... what if I don't know how to choose? Do I still need to choose?" someone asked timidly.
Sun Xian glanced at this shy student, and his face had already turned red just as he said these two sentences.
Sun Xian smiled kindly, tried his best to appease his restraint, and said with a smile: "If you don't know what to choose, then go to the treadle sewing machine workshop. There is a shortage of people there now."
Everyone took Sun Xian's words to heart, and several students asked some questions, and Sun Xian patiently answered them one by one.
Finally, the students walked to the registration desk to choose the workshop they wanted to go to.
After registration, the students left separately.
...
Sun Xian's apprentice registered everyone's choices and found Sun Xian after summarizing them.
"Teacher." The apprentice bowed.
Sun Xian did not put down the tea cup in his hand, he just held it like this and asked with a relaxed smile on his face: "Have you finished registering?"
"Everyone has registered, no one is left out." The apprentice laughed.
"Then let's talk about what the situation is." Sun Xian did not take the document from his apprentice's hand, but said directly.
"Yes, sir." The apprentice bowed his hands and said slowly: "...the pedal sewing machine workshop has the most people choosing it, followed by the train workshop..."
Listening to the apprentice's narration, Mr. Sun Xian's eyebrows curved happily, but then gradually wrinkled.
Sun Xian was very happy when he heard that many people went to the pedal sewing machine workshop. But when he heard that no one in the steel workshop or the spinning machine workshop was willing to go, he was subconsciously stunned.
"Are these two workshops so unpopular?" But since he had already said that students should make their own choices, Sun Xian had to accept the result.
