Chapter 567: Research Funding
"I have to say, His Majesty still knows his son-in-law best, hehe......!"
Zhao Yin smiled and continued: "Even if this tractor is sold at cost price, the people can't afford it, but we can popularize the tractor in another way!" ”
"In what way?"
Li Er looked at him suspiciously.
"The imperial court set up a tractor fleet to rent tractors to the people, so that the people can use the tractors to plough the land as long as they spend very little money!"
The price of a tractor is high, and only the noble and wealthy can afford it, but if it is changed to rental, the people can still afford it.
This method, Zhao Yin also borrowed the method of later generations.
In this way, not only can he earn a part of the profits, but he can also let Li Er gain a good reputation.
"That's a great idea!"
Li Er suddenly became interested.
"However, tractors are not just something that can be driven, they must be professionally trained!"
The reason why Zhao Yin wanted to set up a tractor team was to let the people use the tractors at the lowest price, and secondly, because they couldn't drive, so they were afraid that they would cause danger.
"This is simple, there are many people in the DPRK and China, and you can train slowly!"
As long as the price problem can be solved and more labor can be liberated, these are small things.
"But there are many counties up and down in the Tang Dynasty, at least tens of thousands of tractors are enough, and the imperial court will have to invest tens of millions of yuan!"
As the head of the household, Dai Guan's first thought was the issue of funds.
"Yes, although the imperial court has some money now, if you want to take out tens of millions of yuan at once, it is not a small number!"
Hearing this, Li Er frowned again.
"Your Majesty rest assured, it is impossible to produce tens of thousands of tractors at once, and if it wants to be popularized throughout the country, it will take at least three or five years, so that the pressure on the treasury will be reduced a lot!"
"Well, that's right!"
"Your Majesty, don't forget, there are many wealthy families in the Tang Dynasty, and they also have the ability to buy tractors for rent, such as Zhao Guogong!"
Zhao Yin looked at the eldest grandson Wuji with ill will.
This old man is the richest man in the court, and he says that he has no money all day long, but when it comes to buying shares, he can always come up with tens of thousands of yuan!
"What do you want me to do? My money is all earned from a partnership business! ”
The eldest grandson Wuji saw that the signs were wrong, and hurriedly explained.
"It's really strange, we also have a stake in the pony's business, why don't we have so much money?"
Cheng Biting Jin tilted his head, looked around, and pretended to be very puzzled.
"Alright, alright, let's get down to business!"
Li Erhu grimaced and scolded.
Let these people come up with an idea, all of them will bow their heads and pretend to be dumb, but if they are asked to raise the bar, they will be more powerful than the other!
"If Your Majesty feels that the pressure on the household department to buy a tractor is too great, you can also take a loan from the bank!"
"You stinky boy, it's not enough to make a fortune on a tractor, you even want to make a lot of money on the bank!"
Li Er's face darkened.
However, it's a good idea when there's no other way!
"If the tractor is developed, and Your Majesty gives it to the people at a low price, the people will definitely thank Your Majesty for your great kindness, and besides, Qianzhuang also has His Majesty's shares!"
Zhao Yin crossed Erlang's legs and explained unhurriedly.
"Okay, that's it......!"
As soon as Li Eryi heard that he could win the hearts of the people, he immediately agreed, and then looked at Dai Zhou and continued: "As for how much to buy, it is up to you to decide how much each county will distribute!" ”
The Ministry of Household Affairs has just conducted a census and has the best idea of how to distribute it.
"Your Majesty, it's not that the old minister shirks it, but that the household department is now too vacant, and he has to be busy with immigration, I'm afraid it will ......!"
Dai Xuan looked embarrassed and said in a slurred manner.
"It's easy, just go to the technical college and draw some!"
Li Erfeng said lightly.
However, Zhao Yin has a black line on his face.
The school he spent money on has now become Li Er's talent pool, and wherever he needs manpower, he will be drawn from technical schools!
Now some people go directly to technical schools to study after they fail the list.
Even if you don't get selected as an official, you will be assigned a good job!
"It's good!"
Dai Xuan nodded.
There are many subjects in technical schools, so just find someone who is good at statistics!
"Then leave this matter to the auxiliary machine to do, and it must be strictly screened!"
Li Er told again and again.
After all, he is an official in the court, and he must not be sloppy!
"Obey the order!"
The eldest grandson Wuji got up and gave up his hand.
After the matter was resolved, Li Er dismissed everyone, leaving only Zhao Yin.
"You kid is old today, and you've made a mistake again? Actually want to make double money? ”
Li Er was pacing back and forth with his hands behind his back, and he was in a state of educating his son.
"My son-in-law doesn't want to do this, but I can't help it, it always costs money to engage in scientific research!"
Zhao Yin spread his hands and expressed helplessness.
"With the money earned from selling tractors this time, my son-in-law plans to set up a special scientific research fund for future scientific research, and technical schools also need financial support!"
Now all the expenses in the school are paid by himself, and if he hadn't had a lot of money, I'm afraid he would have gone bankrupt by now.
"Well, researching new inventions is more expensive, if Datang can be richer, the development will be faster!"
After listening to his explanation, Li Er also nodded approvingly, but seemed to suddenly remember something, and continued to ask, "If the research fails, won't all the money invested be in vain?" ”
"Failure is the mother of success, how can you succeed without failure?"
Zhao Yin smiled, not at all worried.
He has the help of the system, and the possibility of failure is extremely small!
"Okay!"
Li Er had no choice but to nod.
"How is the Navy training now?"
Speaking of which, Li Er talked about it again.
Zhao Yin is really helpless, this old picker will ask every time, his head is almost big, but he can't get angry!
"It's almost there, when the ice and snow melt, you can go to Weishui to train!"
"Actually, I'm not in a hurry, it's Tai'er who always asks me!"
Seeing that Zhao Yin was obviously perfunctory, Li Er hurriedly made an excuse.
"Whether it's going to the South China Sea or sailing around the sea, you must have a sufficient navy, and you can't rush!"
This father and son really made him helpless.
If there is no experienced navy, I am afraid that they will be wiped out as soon as they reach the sea!
In fact, Li Er also understands this truth, but the wealth of Nanyang is too tempting, so he often inquires!
After Zhao Yin had lunch in the palace, Li Er let him go back, thinking that he could go to the Wu sisters for a deep chat, but he didn't expect that as soon as he entered the door, he saw the eldest grandson Wuji, Cheng Yanjin and others waiting for him at home.
"Father-in-law, is there something wrong?"
"Your Majesty left you behind, but asked about the navy?"
The eldest grandson Wuji did not sell Guanzi, and asked straight to the door.
"That's right!"
Zhao Yin guessed that this old boy came over not for some official business, otherwise, he would have spoken just now in the imperial study, and he didn't have to go to his house alone.
"When will the navy be able to go to sea?"
The eldest grandson Wuji couldn't wait to look at him, hoping to get some good news.
"At least May or June!"
It will take at least two months for the ice and snow to melt, and the navy will go to Weishui for training, so he said that May and June are fast.
