Clear Wear and Lie to Win

Chapter 233 Bicycles

The Propaganda Department received the emperor's hint and quickly implemented it.

So the latest newspapers are praising the benevolence and righteousness of officials. Knowing that the Qing treasury is the hard-earned money of the people, it is really admirable to find a way to repay the debt after borrowing the emergency and solving the urgent need.

After this matter was finished, Yinzhen asked people to take out the silver separately. According to the amount of silver, Yinzhen asked people to draw up a plan to build an academy.

There are many children from the Eight Banners in the capital, and many of them go to school. Of course, this number cannot be compared with modern times, after all, the population base is also different, right?

According to the plan, Yinzhen planned to build eight academies first.

Four of them were used for the enlightenment of the Eight Banners, and they didn't need to spend money to study, and they even waived their food, but the money that the court had promised to the Eight Banners before was naturally gone.

Two of the other four colleges are used to teach those who are not talented in reading according to their aptitude, and teach them how to earn a living. Some are similar to vocational technical colleges, and the last two academies are used to accommodate those who are talented in reading. people.

Because there are not many children of the Eight Banners who are good at reading, Yinzhen plans to open one of the academies to Han students. It is also free, but the requirements for them are also very high.

According to the standards of the imperial examination, only students with household registration in the capital can take part, and at least they must have the merit of a scholar to participate in the selection test.

Of course, the students who entered were indeed ranked in the bottom [-] for five consecutive times, so they could no longer use the resources of the academy.

With such a plan in mind, Xu Zhen ordered people to call the Minister of the Ministry of Household, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, the Minister of the Ministry of Rites and Zhu Tao.

Originally, Yinzhen planned to call the Propaganda Department, but after thinking about it for a while, the matter has not yet been settled, so let's finalize the plan first.

Four people, four departments.

Yinzhen quickly assigned the task, and the Minister of the Ministry of Industry and Zhu Tao were responsible for the construction of the academy together. As for how it will be built, the Ministry of Industry is responsible for the implementation of the construction.

In addition to these, Zhu Tao is also responsible for the follow-up selection. After all, the Ministry of Education must take care of these. As for the Ministry of Rites, it is naturally responsible for the examination papers, and the Ministry of Education is responsible. The matter still needs the Ministry of Rites to come forward.

Of course, the follow-up task will naturally be handed over to the Ministry of Education.

As for the Ministry of Accounts, it is even simpler, that is, it is responsible for calculating the accounts, and the Ministry of Accounts takes money from the treasury.

Others are already used to the emperor's way of thinking, the Ministry of Education where Zhu Tao is located was created by Yinzhen, but Zhu Tao keeps complaining in his heart now, the emperor is indeed time-traveling, right?

Bookstore (library), Academy (compulsory education)... Even if he is a history idiot, he knows that the emperor must have some adventures.

Yinzhen told Yunrong about this matter, and Yunrong didn't have any opinions. She reads books to understand right from wrong, and Yunrong understands this truth.

"You told me good news, and I'll tell you good news too."

"What good news?" In fact, Yin Zhen had some guesses, after all, she knew what Yun Rong was up to lately, but he still looked at Yun Rong with a puzzled expression and asked.

Yun Rong said with a smile: "I made three finished bicycles."

Yinzhen has seen bicycles before. Bicycles are not called bicycles in China, they are called foreign cars. You can tell their origins from the name, and they came from the West.

Foreign cars in the period of the Republic of China belonged to luxury accessories, and the people who owned them must be wealthy people.

Yinzhen smiled and said, "Congratulations madam, I got what I wanted."

Yunrong's joy is naturally true.

For Yunrong, the structure of the bicycle is not difficult, but the rare thing is that the materials and parts are not up to standard.

Now the Qing Dynasty has begun to develop some material smelting technology, but after all, the technology is still limited, especially relying on Yun Rong alone, so if the materials of the bicycle are not used correctly, the life span is too short, and its existence is meaningless.

If only materials are good, after all, Yunrong has skills, at worst, she can make up for her shortcomings with more time to cultivate. The most difficult part is the parts.

The bicycle looks simple in structure, but there are many large and small parts inside. Yunrong's laboratory is fine, and the parts can still be found, but if the bicycle is to be released, it is impossible to count on her one-third of an acre of land.

Therefore, the production of parts is very important. For this reason, Yunrong specially assembled a lot of machine tools that can produce parts.

The materials used for these machine tools are good. If there are enough materials, it is also possible to build a factory building and an assembly line.

"I have already drawn a meticulous drawing of the parts needed for this bicycle, and I have given detailed assistance on how to assemble them. If ordinary craftsmen can read and write, they must be able to understand them. When the time comes, choose a factory building and prepare more machine tools. Bicycles can be produced by themselves..."

Yunrong babbled a lot, and Yinzhen basically understood.

"How are you going to sell the bike?"

Yun Rong has also thought about this question: "The Ministry of Internal Affairs is not suitable. The profit margin of bicycles is too large. In the next five to ten years, we can only buy luxury goods, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs is not suitable to come forward."

Yinzhen understood: "Do you want to hand it over to Wu Yiming?"

Yun Rong nodded: "That's right, Wu Yiming has some talent in business, and now Wu's Department Store has attracted many rich and powerful families. If bicycles are sold anywhere, there will be audiences everywhere..."

Now the Ministry of Internal Affairs has been rectified, but it is really not suitable for the Ministry of Internal Affairs to come forward. It would be appropriate to leave this matter to Wu Yiming.

"I listen to you, do you plan to use people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, or people from Wu Yiming?"

Yunrong shook her head and said: "No need, this time the situation is a little different, we already have machine tools, the most important thing for bicycles is the production of parts, with parts, we will carry out assembly work at that time, and then we will find some people who are careful and cautious. , let craftsmen teach them how to assemble bicycles, and that’s it.”

There are many craftsmen in Wu Yiming's shop. There is no place in the Ministry of Internal Affairs that cannot be short of people. The Ministry of Industry also has experts in this field, but if they are used to assemble bicycles, they will be overqualified.

That's why Yunrong set her sights on ordinary people, assembly line operation, machine tool production parts, there is really no possibility of leaking secrets, and I don't worry about leaving it to the common people.

On the other hand, this aspect can solve the work problems of many people. If society wants to develop, it is natural that everyone can perform their duties.

Although the Qing Dynasty is thriving today, many people have no extra income other than farming, and if they encounter natural disasters, they will be wiped out.

There is no income in the family, and they count on one-third of an acre of land to live, so they must be controlled by others everywhere.

Yinzhen understood it as soon as he heard it, and soon understood the benefits it could bring.

In the past, Yunrong didn't think about these things, and she went to many places with Yinzhen, and her horizons were broadened a lot. After seeing a lot of the current situation of the Qing Dynasty, Yunrong was not without emotion.

At first, she just wanted to do research with peace of mind, and she was at ease with Yinzhen supporting her, but after Jiang Nan came back, she gradually changed her mind.

Daqing is the Daqing that Yinzhen wants to change. The husband and wife are one, which seems to be her responsibility. Although this responsibility is heavy, it is undeniable that she is willing to bear it with Yinzhen.

Yinzhen sees these changes in Yunrong, but he doesn't feel that Yunrong is involved in politics. Even if Yunrong really interferes in politics, it's okay. Yinzhen understands Yunrong, and because he understands, he is willing to believe.

On the other hand, Yinzhen is confident, he is confident in Yunrong's friendship with him, and he is also confident in his control of Daqing.

Yinzhen said with a smile: "My daughter-in-law has grown up lately, thinking about things is more comprehensive than being a husband."

Yunrong naturally knew that Yinzhen was joking, Yunrong's ability to say these things still took advantage of her previous life's living environment, and she probably was blind to making serious decisions.

So Yunrong gave him a look.

The two continued to talk about you and me.

Two days later, Wu Yiming received a bicycle and gave her a letter along the way, and the bicycle was given to her. The letter also explained that the bicycle would be sold in a department store in the future. As for how to promote it so that it could be sold The high price was not mentioned in the letter.

Wu Yiming looked at the bicycle, and then thought of the auction house.
