Like Pu Yangyun, there are several scholars who were recruited for their writing skills or painting skills.
Everyone has four tasks per month, and other tasks are calculated as extra tasks. Even if the articles they write are selected by some heavyweight publications, such as "Da Ming Daily", they can get additional rewards.
It’s okay if you can’t enter the Daming Daily. Don’t you have many other newspapers in the Daming?
Any one is OK.
However, the size of the newspapers is different, and the size of the rewards given is somewhat different.
But is this the point?
If you only complete four tasks per month, you can get 10 taels of silver. Isn’t that much better than ordinary people who work as coolies?
As long as it’s not too wasteful for a family, it’s enough.
The Daming Eye Manufacturing Factory was not yet built, and the Daming Eye Guardian was first published.
Pu Yangyun received the newspaper and saw that his work was printed on the home page. It was so eye-catching that he had a different feeling.
"Brother Pu, your "Eye Knowledge" is very well written. You basically write all the points you need to pay attention to when using your eyes." Tan Chengping, a colleague from the Propaganda Department, walked over with a newspaper and praised with a smile.
When Pu Yangyun saw that it was him, he smiled and turned to the painting designed by Tan Chengping, pointing and saying, "Your painting is very good, full of children's fun, and you can like those old ladies at first glance."
"Hahahaha... Sister Spring asked me to follow the paintings of the New Year paintings. Can it be adorable? Look at this little arm and calves, it looks like a lucky doll! Who among the people in the world doesn't want their children to look so blessed?"
...
Thinking about it a month ago, they were worried about food and clothing because they had not achieved any status, and they didn't know where the future was. In a blink of an eye, they entered the publicity department of the Daming Glasses Manufacturing Factory. Life seemed to be revitalized, and suddenly they got better.
Two scholars who were so picky that they could not support them, and they were so picky that they could not even support their families, were finally "looked at" and the matchmaker began to come to their house.
The two were a little amused and crying.
It is said that "everything is too low, only studying is high." But no matter how high you are, you can't support your family, and ordinary people just won't miss you.
If you love your daughter, you will not be able to let your daughter suffer with them; if you have an ambition, you will be more willing to choose those who are famous.
Those who read some books, read a few words but did not read any names are despised objects.
As he said that, Tan Chengping put down the newspaper and asked Pu Yangyun a question: "Are you still going to end?"
"Hmm?" Pu Yangyun was stunned for a moment, "I don't know..."
I wanted to end up like this before, but I just wanted to have a last chance to win myself.
But now, I have a stable job and can live a good life, so should I end up?
Even if you leave, at most you will be just a child or scholar, and it is not worth anything in the capital.
Pu Yangyun asked, "Where are you?"
Tan Chengping shook his head: "I probably won't. I'll do it. With my current level, even if I end up, I'll be lucky enough to be a scholar at most. But scholars cannot be directly an official, and they have to continue the exam... The result will not be achieved in three to five years. At that time, I must have gotten married long ago and even had children."
"My parents are old, and my younger brother is only three years younger than me. I will be there after I get married. My sister is going to get married, and I have to prepare a dowry..."
"There are places where money is needed everywhere at home. Even if I work and prepare for the exam, it will not solve the fundamental problem."
"And, even if I get a good exam in the future, I will probably go to the local area and become a chief magistrate, a county magistrate, or something... Maybe it's still a marquis. When I get through, I don't know which year or month it's been."
"How could I afford to wait?"
...
Although the magistrate is poor and the county magistrate is also an official and can pay his salary, it is still a little worse than his current salary.
Being an official also requires human relations and filial piety. If you pull out the point from the cracks of your fingers, it might not be enough for your boss to drink a pot of tea, but you have already put your old foundation on it.
After all the calculations, Tan Chengping felt that it was not worth it.
He is not a person with great ambitions. He must be a high-ranking official and do practical things for the people. He just wants to have a fame and fortune to support his family.
But he has it now.
Daming Glasses Manufacturing Factory is backed by Prince Chong's Mansion. It looks like it will be open for many years. Isn't it good to get ten taels of silver a month?
In addition, if they perform well, they will also be sent to "study" and improve their personal abilities. Maybe one day they will become "Masters of Yifang".
Even if he can't join a newspaper like Daming Daily in the future, and with the experience of Daming Eye Health News, he can still go to other tabloids to spend time.
Of course, the premise is that Daming's glasses manufacturer is gone or he doesn't want him anymore.
However, Tan Chengping thought that the possibility was not very high.
Prince Chong is still young and is a popular person in front of Emperor Mingguang of the current dynasty. Even if any emperor nephew ascends the throne in the future, he will at most be neglected. With Prince Chong's power and status, the influence should not be very big.
Pu Yang said: "..."
You think so much!
but……
Tan Chengping's words came to his heart.
What is reading for?
It is said that "establishing a mind for the heaven and earth, establishing a destiny for the living and the people, inheriting the unique knowledge for the past sages, and opening peace for all ages." However, they are just ordinary people and among the countless beings. Compared with those grand goals, the "survival" in front of them is obviously more important.
Not everyone is a saint, nor is everyone ambitious. They are just for a bite.
So, I have to say that the eldest maid Chuntian has a fierce vision.
He kicked out those ambitious people who wanted to ride a donkey and find a horse, leaving behind a few scholars who were down-to-earth, safe and stable, and wanted to live a life.
They are eye manufacturers, and they are seeking "stability".
If you are really ambitious, go somewhere else.
For example, part-time job.
There is no need to work in the Daming Glasses Manufacturing Factory. The Daming Glasses Manufacturing Factory needs to publish a "factory report" and need articles. There are not enough editors alone, so they can be "authors" to contribute. As long as the articles they write are good, once they are hired, they will still be rewarded and will not delay them from doing other things.
What is the promotional department recruiting editors for?
It is just that I can be patient and sit in the office and stay there for several years.
In addition to writing articles themselves, each person will be randomly assigned several "programmed authors" to be responsible for making an appointment with the other party and reviewing the manuscript.
In short, the salary of ten taels of silver per month is not for nothing, but if you have to do it well, you can get a few capable "committed authors" or "signed authors" in your hand, and they can also get the author's commission.
The eldest maid Chuntian drew on the experience of Jinling and did not limit her attention to the "Ming Ming Eye Health News", but also derived it to other things.
For example, monthly, semi-annual, annual and other commemorative magazines, a certain author commemorative magazine, and a certain special issue.
