Pursued by the Heavenly Dao, first level up in the courtyard.

Compared to engineers, the salaries of junior high school, high school, and vocational school teachers are relatively high.

Level 9 engineer, salary 102 yuan; Level 8 engineer, salary 115 yuan; Level 7 engineer, salary 133.5 yuan; Level 6 engineer, salary 154 yuan... Level 1 engineer, salary 322 yuan.

The lowest level for a primary school teacher is level 11, and the highest is level 1. A level 1 primary school teacher in Beicheng earns a regular salary of 89.5 yuan.

Teachers in junior high and high schools in Beicheng are divided into ten levels, with level ten being the lowest and level one being the highest. The regular salary for a level one junior high teacher/level one high school teacher is 149.5 yuan.

Teachers at Beicheng Vocational School are divided into thirteen levels, with the lowest being level thirteen and the highest being level one. A level one vocational school teacher earns a regular salary of 218.5 yuan.

Qi Bing had the Comprehensive Management Bureau collect a lot of information. Through data comparison, it was found that the average contribution of a first-level junior high school teacher to Xia Kingdom was far lower than that of a seventh-level engineer, let alone a sixth-level engineer.

He wasn't against teachers getting high salaries, but he felt that engineers weren't being paid enough.

Teachers have weekends off, as well as winter and summer vacations, while engineers have almost no days off throughout the year except for the end of the year.

Engineers don't work on weekends? More than 90% of engineers spend most of their weekends researching technology.

In this age of dedication, most engineers have very little time to rest.

After thinking it over, Qi Bing went to see some elders and proposed increasing the engineers' salaries by fifty percent.

Weed out the mediocre engineers and give all the remaining engineers a 50% raise.

Qi Bing successfully persuaded many elders with data and facts, and the matter of raising engineers' salaries was settled.

Subsequently, the Comprehensive Management Bureau assigned personnel to investigate the scoundrels among teachers, doctors, and engineers.

Qi Bing, who had not been promoted for three years, was promoted from Level 3 to Level 2 as the Comprehensive Management Bureau was upgraded to Level 2.

The General Administration Bureau has increased its deputy directors from seven to nine, with the two newly added deputy directors coming from Xia Nong and Xia Tongxun.

Qi Bing knew very well that even if he did nothing in the future, he could still reach the pinnacle of the Great Xia Dynasty.

Ordinary people have limited lifespans, but at 27 years old, he can endure the passage of time and reach the summit.

Zhao Mengsheng, who is in the wreath, can normally be promoted to one star, but whether he can be promoted to two stars is still unknown.

In this film and television world dominated by courtyard houses, Qi Bing, who already has three stars as a base and has now risen to level two, will reach level one even if he advances one level every ten years. By the time he is thirty-seven years old, he will have reached level one.

He'll be in charge of the General Administration Bureau, occasionally tinkering with some technology; perhaps in two or three years, he'll be promoted to Level 1.

Brand new off-road vehicles, pickup trucks, and motorcycles were transported from the Yucheng Automobile Factory to various parts of Xia Kingdom.

Vehicles will be issued again: those at level eight and above will be assigned off-road vehicles, those at level sixteen to nine will be assigned pickup trucks, and those at level eighteen and seventeen will be assigned motorcycles.

Qi Bing declined the allocation of an off-road vehicle and continued to use his modified pickup truck.

Zhang Qingquan, Li Huaide, Nie Dayong... Ye Qiu from the steel rolling mill were all provided with a pickup truck.

Xu Damao, the head of the propaganda department who was working in place of a government official, and Liu Haizhong, who was already the workshop director, were both issued a motorcycle.

More than a month ago, those who received the notification went to take the driving test.

Now that the factory provides vehicles, Xu Damao and Liu Haizhong, who have licenses, ride their bikes back to the courtyard house as soon as it's time to leave work.

Yan Bugui's eyes lit up as he asked, "Old Liu, whose motorcycle is this?"

Liu Haizhong laughed and said, "It was issued by the higher-ups; I didn't have to pay for it."

Yan Bugui exclaimed incredulously, "Da Mao, you have a motorcycle now?"

Xu Damao said smugly, "I'm a half-cadre because I'm working as a substitute worker. After a while, I'll be able to become a full-fledged cadre."

The section chief who was appointed as a worker in lieu of a government official received the same treatment as the section chief, except that he was a worker.

Li Huaide acted as the introducer, and Xu Damao, who performed well, has become a member.

Once the assessment period ends, Xu Damao will be able to become the head of the publicity department under the administrative system.

Yan Bugui changed the subject: "Old Liu, are you about to receive your high school diploma?"

Liu Haizhong said confidently, "I'll get my graduation certificate after passing the exam in a few days."

Although Liu Haizhong was ambitious for officialdom, he was relatively simple-minded.

He only had a primary school education, not because he was a poor student, but because of the times.

Liu Haizhong, who is 44 years old this year, graduated from elementary school when Beicheng was in a chaotic period.

In the drama, Liu Haizhong became a level seven blacksmith despite only having a primary school education, which is enough to prove that his learning talent surpasses that of many people.

Liu Haizhong said, "Old Yan, this threshold is too high, making it inconvenient for cars to get in and out. I think we should remove it."

Xu Damao chimed in, "I also agree with removing the threshold."

Yan Bugui said, "Old Liu, Da Mao, if you remove the threshold, there will be no space underneath, unless you replace the main door."

Liu Haizhong did the math and then said, "I'll pay for the door renovation."

"Second Uncle, give me half." Xu Damao decided to pay half the money. After the threshold was removed, he could ride his motorcycle directly home.

If you leave your motorcycle outside, who knows if someone will puncture its tires?

Just then, Ye Qiu returned in his brand-new pickup truck.

Liu Haizhong greeted with a broad smile, "Deputy Factory Director Ye."

Ye Qiu laughed and said, "Second Uncle, Third Uncle, this gate needs to be changed. I'll personally pay for it to be widened."

Liu Haizhong quickly said, "Deputy Factory Director Ye, I'll contribute one, and Da Mao will contribute one. With the gate modified, motorcycles can easily come and go, and your pickup truck can also drive into the yard."

Ye Qiu didn't want to cause trouble, so he said, "Second Uncle, I don't know anyone. You go find someone, and I'll pay you every penny."

Seeing that all three of them had new cars, Yan Bugui felt envious and jealous.

He Yuzhu and Liu Yuhua rode their bicycles back and saw the car parked at the door, both feeling a little envious.

When Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu returned home from get off work, they looked at the brand-new motorcycle and pickup truck and offered a few words of congratulations with forced smiles.

A hospital-wide meeting was held that evening to discuss the matter of changing the gate.

Yi Zhonghai wanted to object, but after much hesitation, he chose to remain silent.

If it were just Liu Haizhong, perhaps Da Mao would request a change of door, and some people might disagree.

Ye Qiu is the deputy director of the steel rolling mill, and no one in the compound dares to offend him.

No one else had to pay for the door renovation; all the neighbors in the courtyard agreed.

In less than two days, the gate was completed. The gate, which is more than three meters wide, allows pickup trucks to easily enter and exit.

After the gate was modified, Ye Qiu could drive the pickup truck to the west wing of the front yard, while Xu Damao and Liu Haizhong could ride their motorcycles directly to the front door of their house in the back yard.

The price of bicycles dropped to 100 yuan, and no bicycle ticket was required, so more and more neighbors in the courtyard were buying bicycles.

Qin Huairu, who had some money, bought a bicycle.

Yi Zhonghai, who earns a decent salary, also bought a bicycle.

Xu Damao bought a women's bicycle for his wife Yu Li, and He Yushui also bought a women's bicycle.

In mid-August, Qin Huairu, accompanied by Yi Zhonghai, went to find Yan Bugui in the front yard.

Yan Bugui asked, "Old Yi, Qin Huairu, what's going on here?"

Qin Huairu said, "Old Yan, Banggeng is seven years old this year. We came to find you about Banggeng's primary school enrollment."

Yan Bugui passed the buck: "Old Yi, there's no need to go through all this trouble. Just go to Hongxing Elementary School to register. Ran Qiuye is also a teacher at Hongxing Elementary School. You can go and ask her."

Yi Zhonghai said, "Old Yan, we've already asked Teacher Ran, and she teaches third grade this year."

Qin Huairu wanted her son, Banggeng, to be in the same class as Yan Bugui or Ran Qiuye.

If Banggeng's teacher is a neighbor in the same building, she will know about anything that happens to Banggeng at school in a timely manner.

If Yan Bugui or Ran Qiuye were to become Banggeng's teachers, would they not take care of Banggeng while they were at school?

Ye Qiu and Yan Bugui were fully aware of Qin Huairu's scheming.

Yan Bugui said, "Old Yi, Qin Huairu, I teach second grade this year, and Banggeng is in first grade."
