Chapter 2804
Tian Yeyou currently serves as the deputy minister of the Haihan Ministry of Industry. He has been colleagues with Bai Kesi for many years, so Bai Letong naturally knows him. However, because the field that Tian Yeyou is in charge of is the mining-related industrial chain, due to the special nature of his work, Tian Yeyou spends very little time in Sanya. After traveling through time, he has spent most of the years traveling around the world, prospecting for Haihan everywhere. Bai Letong actually rarely had the chance to see him.
Tian Yeyou is the only mining expert among the travelers who has a professional background. It can be said that all the various mineral resources that Haihan has discovered and exploited depend on his participation. His value to the country is no less than that of Haihan. The generals who opened up the territory of Han Dynasty. And most of the hundreds of apprentices he personally brought out during this time and space later became supervisors of various mines in Haihan, or were engaged in related work in the upstream and downstream industrial chains.
Ji Shengrong became a disciple of Tian Yeyou when he was a boy. At that time, Tian Yeyou accepted apprentices on a batch basis. Ji Shengrong was one of the first batch of apprentices, and he was extremely qualified. If he had stayed in Sanya to develop, he might have reached the position of director level.
However, life cannot be planned in advance. Tian Yeyou came to Shandong in 1634 to arrange mining matters in the north. At that time, Ji Shengrong was with him as a capable disciple. Tian Yeyou stayed in Fushan County for more than half a year. After arranging the relevant work, he rushed to the next destination, leaving only Ji Shengrong here to be responsible for the follow-up implementation.
Ji Shengrong participated in the mining development of more than just the Fushan Copper Mine. He also participated in the Zhaoyuan Gold Mine and Longkou Coal Mine that were subsequently exploited, as well as the Anshan Iron Mine and Fushun Coal Mine in Liaodong.
Of course, although he participated in organizing the exploration and development of these mineral deposits, all related plans were actually formulated by Tian Yeyou in Majiazhuang in 1634. Ji Shengrong was only responsible for the implementation together with others.
Ji Shengrong still doesn't know why his master is able to strategize and figure out where the treasure is buried thousands of miles away. Every time you find the location designated by Tian Yeyou and do some digging, you will definitely find the veins. After repeating this many times, Ji Shengrong already regarded the mining plan formulated by Tian Yeyou more than 20 years ago as a miracle.
It is precisely because of this miraculous experience that Ji Shengrong's view of Tian Yeyou has gone beyond the admiration of a disciple for his master, and is closer to the unconditional trust and worship of a god by a loyal believer.
The mining plan that Tian Yeyou gave him that year listed dozens of high-value mineral deposits in Shandong, North China, and Liaodong. However, due to objective conditions such as mining levels and external environment, only two-tenths of the mines in operation today are Just three.
Tian Yeyou originally asked him to stay in the north to implement the mining plan, but Ji Shengrong initially regarded it as a task assigned to him by his master. Later, his respect for Tian Yeyou increased as his work progressed, but the completion of the task was still far away. Ji Shengrong had already decided to implement Tian Yeyou's mining plan as his goal for the rest of his life.
Therefore, Ji Shengrong voluntarily gave up the opportunity to be transferred back to the south and stayed in the northern region with all his heart, vowing to dig out all the treasures pointed out by his master in his lifetime.
Although Chen Yixin cannot retain experts of Tian Yeyou's level, technical talents with special value like Ji Shengrong are willing to stay and develop, and of course he is happy to provide generous treatment.
Needless to say, high salary, housing and land, servants, carriages and horses, etc. Needless to say, Chen Yixin also specially arranged a marriage for Ji Shengrong and asked him to marry a woman from the Jiang family. In this way, he and Ji Shengrong became close relatives, and by the way, Ji Shengrong's feet were tied to Shandong.
In addition, Chen Yixin also wanted to give Ji Shengrong some benefits in his career. However, Ji Shengrong's reason for staying in the north had nothing to do with his official career, so he was very indifferent to it and declined Chen Yixin's suggestion to arrange a position for him in the Northern Region Management Committee.
But the more Ji Shengrong acted indifferent to fame and fortune, the more Chen Yixin trusted him. Since Ji Shengrong didn't want to be an official, Chen Yixin did what he wanted and gave him special care in his profession. Although Chen Yixin opened this vocational and technical college in Fushan County with the purpose of cultivating local reserve technical talents, this mining-related major was actually prepared for Ji Shengrong. Since Ji Shengrong takes Tian Yeyou as his example, passing on Tian Yeyou's knowledge to more descendants is obviously a spiritual inheritance.
Sure enough, Ji Shengrong was very happy with this arrangement, and at Chen Yixin's invitation, he took up the post of vice president of the college.
Although Ji Shengrong does not have Tian Yeyou's special ability to turn rocks into gold, as one of Tian Yeyou's earliest disciples, his professional knowledge is quite solid. Coupled with twenty years of practical experience in traveling around the north, he has started to accept disciples. Of course it's a no brainer.
Even an uninitiated outsider like Bai Letong could tell that Ji Shengrong's teaching skills were extraordinary after standing at the door of the classroom and listening for a while. It’s no wonder that Ji Shengrong and his major in mineral exploration have become one of the college’s flagships.
Chen Pingliao recounted Ji Shengrong's deeds in the Northern Region, and Bai Letong listened with great interest. The master who taught in this college had such an experience, which shows that the Northern Region attaches great importance to talents.
Bai Letong said: "If Mr. Ji's deeds spread and the world knows that Uncle Chen treats virtuous officers and places great emphasis on talents, many people will take the initiative to serve the Northern Region."
Chen Pingliao said: "My father has always been thirsty for talents, but the current environment in the north is indeed not comparable to that in the south. After all, there are only a few outsiders who are willing to stay here and develop. I only hope that the phoenix trees we planted The tree will one day attract the phoenix.”
Bai Letong nodded and returned the topic to the teaching work of the college: "Mr. Ji's ability is limited after all, so we still have to find ways to continue to strengthen the faculty of the college."
Chen Pingliao said: "Currently, there are only a few teachers in the college who teach cultural courses full-time, while those who teach professional courses are almost all part-time engineers and technicians working elsewhere."
Bai Letong said: "This kind of employment is somewhat similar to several vocational colleges in Danzhou, Hainan. It should have advantages and disadvantages."
Chen Pingliao said: "That's true. The disadvantage is that the masters are busy with work, so the course schedule can only be made according to their rest time, so there will inevitably be many changes. But the benefits are also obvious. What they teach can be used in With practical skills, students can learn something truly valuable in the shortest possible time.”
