Just as Minister Zhao was racking his brains over this, Jiang Si and Professor Li exchanged a glance, and then Jiang Si calmly took out a document from her briefcase.
"Minister Zhao, Professor Li and I have already discussed the employment issue."
"This is a preliminary plan. Do you think it's acceptable?"
In fact, on the very day that Chi Heng made the request for a specific construction period.
Jiang Si then told Professor Li about it.
The two discussed it for several days before finally settling on this plan.
This scheme is somewhat similar to the labor dispatch system of later generations.
At Professor Li's prompting, Jiang Si gave a brief explanation.
"Our idea is not to recruit workers in the city."
"Then where do we recruit?"
"suburbs."
Minister Zhao listened without saying anything more, but gestured for her to continue.
Jiang Si said, “There are many communes around the capital. The summer harvest and planting are over, but the autumn harvest has not yet officially started. There is a large number of young and middle-aged laborers idle in the communes.”
“We can completely bypass the planned quotas and directly sign short-term employment contracts with these communes.”
"As for their income, they receive part of their wages themselves, and the other part is handed over to their production brigade according to the agreement."
"The production brigade will convert their attendance into work points."
"This way, we can both ensure our labor needs and generate some income for the commune members."
At this point, Jiang Si added the most crucial point, which was also the management issue that gave Minister Zhao the biggest headache.
“These people are registered in the commune, so they are essentially still commune members.”
“In case of any problems or disputes, we can directly contact the local commune leaders and let them coordinate and handle the matter, which makes management more convenient.”
Of course, this is the worst-case scenario.
Jiang Si felt that this possibility was not very high.
After all, for many people, the opportunity to work and earn money in the city is like a windfall.
Anyone with a brain would put in their best effort to do it.
There will absolutely be no cheating or shirking of responsibility.
Jiang Si had also considered the workers' meals and accommodation.
When the time comes, we'll find a commune that's relatively close to the embassy district.
There is no need to arrange a separate shuttle bus.
All that's needed is one monthly bus pass subsidy per person.
Of course, these are just some of their initial ideas.
It depends on what the leadership thinks.
Jiang Si said, "Minister Zhao, please reconsider. If this plan doesn't work, we can..."
"No need, this is fine!"
Minister Zhao found the plan increasingly reliable and immediately approved it.
"Let's go with your idea. How many people do we need to hire, and what is the approximate budget? You can submit a report later."
He paused for a moment, then added, "As for the paperwork, I'll have Xiao An coordinate it in a bit, and I'll send it to you once it's done."
“Okay.” Jiang Si nodded.
With the business concluded, Minister Zhao looked relaxed.
Seeing that it was getting late, Jiang Si stood up and said, "Minister, if there's nothing else, I'll go and get back to work."
"Xiao Jiang, wait a moment." Minister Zhao called out to him with a smile at this moment.
Jiang Si sat back down, confused, just as she thought Minister Zhao had other requests.
Minister Zhao looked over seriously and went straight to the point without beating around the bush.
"Xiao Jiang, do you want to go to university?"
"Go to university?" Jiang Si was taken aback.
Minister Zhao's tone reminded her of that classic line: "Old Xu, do you want a wife?"
The problem is that it is only 1970 now, and there are still more than seven years before the country officially resumes the college entrance examination.
No, it was briefly restored in 1973, but it was later ruined by a candidate who wrote a blank paper.
Thinking about all this, Jiang Si suddenly realized something.
Minister Zhao was probably not referring to going to university in the traditional sense.
Sure enough, the idea had barely formed in my mind when I first thought it.
Minister Zhao then took a document out of his drawer.
"Xiao Jiang, you'll understand once you take a look at this."
Jiang Si took it and glanced at it. What came into view was a row of eye-catching red characters.
Request Report Regarding Admissions (Pilot Program) to Peking University and Tsinghua University
The date on the document is June 27, 1970.
The report was short, but it essentially said that after more than three years of major political movements, Peking University and Tsinghua University had met the requirements for student recruitment.
Therefore, the plan is to start recruiting students in the second half of this year.
There are two types of school systems.
One is a regular class that lasts two to three years.
There is also a refresher course that lasts about a year.
In terms of teaching content, a three-pronged approach of 'teaching, scientific research, and production' will be implemented. In addition, military physical education courses with war preparation as the main content will also be offered.
The target students were worker-peasant-soldier students with practical experience.
Before transmigrating into the book, Jiang Si had read many novels on this subject.
Therefore, she recognized it at a glance.
This should be what later generations often referred to as the Workers', Peasants' and Soldiers' University.
Influenced by the times, the focus of university admission during this period was not on exams or academic level, but on recommendations.
Applicants typically need two to three years of practical experience, which includes a wide range of topics.
Serving in the army, being sent to the countryside, or working in a factory all count.
People like her who are affiliated with a company also count.
Of course, this is on the premise that her resume is good enough.
Seeing Jiang Si's solemn expression, Minister Zhao spoke up at the right moment: "Little Jiang, this is a rare opportunity. Our unit has three nomination slots."
