Houmen Fenghua: Meet the best evil mother-in-law

Chapter 702 Use of Eye Hygiene
Like Pu Yangyun, there are several scholars who were recruited because of their writing or painting skills.

Everyone has four assignments per month, and the rest are considered extra assignments. Even if the articles they write are selected by some heavyweight publications, such as "Daming Daily", they can get extra rewards.

It's okay if you can't get into "Da Ming Daily". Doesn't Da Ming have many other newspapers?
Either one will do.

It's just that the weight of the newspaper is different, and the size of the rewards given is somewhat different.

But is that the point?

As long as you complete the tasks of four articles every month, you can have 10 taels of silver. Isn't that much better than ordinary people doing coolies?
As long as the family does not waste too much, it is enough.

Before the Daming Eyes factory was built, the "Daming Eyes Guardian" was published first.

Pu Yangyun received the newspaper and saw his work printed on the front page. It was so eye-catching, and he had a different feeling.

"Brother Pu, your "Knowledge with the Eyes" is really well written. It basically covers all the points that need to be paid attention to with the eyes." Tan Chengping, a colleague from the Propaganda Department, came over with a newspaper and praised with a smile. said a word.

Seeing that it was him, Pu Yangyun also smiled and turned to the painting designed by Tan Chengping, pointing to it and said, "Your painting is quite good, full of childlike fun, and the old ladies will like it just by looking at it."

"Hahahaha... Sister Chun asked me to draw the Fuwa on the New Year picture, isn't it cute? Look at this little arm and calf, it looks like a Fuwa at first glance! Who in this world would not want their own child to look like this? How lucky?"

……

Thinking about a month ago, they were worried about food and clothing because they didn’t pass any exams, and didn’t know where the future was. In a blink of an eye, they joined the propaganda department of Daming Glasses Factory, and their lives seemed to be revived, and suddenly they got better.

The two scholars who were picked on by the matchmaker in every possible way, who knew nothing but reading and could not even support a family, were finally "watched" by someone, and the matchmaker began to visit.

The two were a little bit dumbfounded.

It is said that "everything is bad, only reading is high", but no matter how high you are, you can't support your family, and ordinary people just don't like you.

Those who love their daughters have families, and it is impossible for their daughters to suffer with them; those with ambitions are more willing to choose those who are famous.

People like them who have read some books and learned a few words, but haven't learned anything, are the ones who are disgusted.

With that said, Tan Chengping put down the newspaper and asked Pu Yangyun a question: "Are you still ready to end?"

"Huh?" Pu Yangyun was stunned for a moment, "I don't know..."

Before I wanted to end, I just wanted to fight for the last time, to give myself one last chance.

But now, I have a stable job and can live a good life, so do I still have to end it?
Even if you do, at most you're just a boy or a scholar, and it's not worth much in the capital.

Pu Yangyun asked: "What about you?"

Tan Chengping shook his head: "I probably won't. I figured it out. With my current level, even if I'm in the end, if I'm lucky, I'll be a scholar at most. But a scholar can't be an official directly, and I have to go on. Examinations... three to five years may not give results, at that time, I must have been married a long time ago, and even have children."

"My parents are already old, and my younger brother is only three years younger than me. He will be there after I get married, and my younger sister is getting married too, and I have to prepare a dowry..."

"There are places where money is used everywhere at home. Even if I work and prepare for the exam at the same time, it can't solve the fundamental problem."

"Besides, even if I pass the exam in the future, I will probably go to the local government to be a boss, county magistrate or something... Maybe I will be a candidate. When I get to the top, I don't know what year and month it will be."

"How can I afford to wait?"

……

Although the boss and the county magistrate are more or less officials and will be paid, but compared with the current salary, it is still a bit short.

To be an official requires human relations and filial piety to your superiors. The point you squeeze out from between your fingers may not be enough for your boss to drink a pot of tea, but you have already pierced your old background.

After all the calculations, Tan Chengping didn't think it was worthwhile.

He is not a person with great ambitions, he must be a high-ranking official, do practical things for the common people, he just wants to have fame so that he can support his family.

But he has it now.

The Daming Optical Factory is backed by Prince Chong's Mansion, and it looks like it will be opened for many years. Doesn't he earn ten taels of silver a month?
In addition, if they perform well, they will be sent to "advanced training" to improve their personal abilities, and maybe one day they will become "masters of one party".

Even if he can't get into a newspaper office like "Daming Daily" in the future, with the experience of "Daming Eye Health Newspaper", he can go to other small newspapers to dawdle.

Of course, the premise is that the Daming glasses factory is no longer there or that he is no longer wanted.

But Tan Chengping thinks, the possibility is not very big.

Prince Chong is still young, and he is also a celebrity in front of Emperor Mingguang. Even if any emperor's nephew ascends the throne in the future, he will at most be left out in the cold. With Prince Chong's power and status, the influence should not be great.

Pu Yang said: "..."

You think too much!

but……

Tan Chengping's words entered his heart.

What is reading for?
It is said that they are studying "to establish a heart for the world, to establish a life for the people, to inherit the sage's knowledge, and to create peace for all generations", but they are just ordinary people, one of the mortal beings, compared with those grand goals. "Survival" is obviously more important.

Not all are saints, not all are ambitious, they are, after all, just for one bite.

So, I have to say that the big maid spring has a vicious eye.

Those ambitious people who wanted to ride a donkey to find a horse were kicked out, leaving behind a few down-to-earth scholars who wanted to live a peaceful life.

They are an eye factory, and what they want is "stability".

If you're really ambitious, go elsewhere.

For example, a part-time job.

There is no need to hold a temporary position at the Daming Glasses Factory. The Daming Glasses Factory wants to publish a "factory newspaper" and needs articles. These few editors alone are not enough, so they can contribute as "authors".As long as they write good articles, once they are hired, they will be paid, and they will not be delayed to do other things.

Why did the Propaganda Department recruit editors?
It is to be able to bear the temper and sit in the office for several years.

In addition to writing their own articles, each person will be randomly assigned a few "contract authors" who will be responsible for connecting with each other and reviewing manuscripts.

In short, the salary of ten taels of silver per month is not for nothing, but if you do a good job, if you have a few capable "contracted authors" or "contracted authors", they can still get the author's commission.

The eldest maid Chunchun borrowed the experience from Jinling, and did not limit her attention to the "Daming Eye Hygiene News", but also derived it from other things.

For example, commemorative publications such as monthly, semi-annual, and annual, and a commemorative issue of a certain author or a special issue.

Even if there is a famous author, you can even publish his own books and periodicals, as long as you have the ability.
