Chapter 719: Pulling the Wind
When Zhao Yin drove a tractor into Chang'an City, he immediately provoked a burst of exclamation.
"What is this?"
With the railway, many outsiders have poured in Chang'an.
Part of it is for business, and part of it is for fun.
Almost all of the people who made such exclamations were outsiders.
Because when the tractor was developed, it was already advertised in the newspapers.
However, for the real thing, the people also saw it for the first time.
"This is a tractor, and the person who drives the tractor is the famous horse master!"
And all the people of the city stood on both sides of the road, and began to discuss.
"Hey! This tractor is really handsome......! ”
Seeing this situation, Wei Chigong was extremely excited, "In the future, I will also learn driving skills and drive a tractor on the street every day!" ”
"Well, that's a ......! If only I had one! ”
The eldest grandson Wuji looked at this scene and couldn't help but say what was in his heart.
As the powerful people of the dynasty, of course they wish they had one for this fashionable thing!
I can't open it, I have to have it anyway!
However, not long after walking in the city, Li Er's carriage was stopped, and he turned around and came to Zhao Yin's side, "You kid come down and go back to the house directly, my daughter I will send it!" ”
"Thank you for your kindness!"
Zhao Yin couldn't stop rolling his eyes.
What was going on in the old thing's mind, how could he not know?
Isn't it just to enjoy the feeling of being in the air?
It's a shame that he could come up with such a perfect excuse!
"Jinyang, sit down!"
After Li Er boarded the tractor with a smile on his face, he gave some advice, and then stepped on the accelerator.
"This thing is really funny!"
Seeing that Li Er kept waving with everyone, winning the cheers of the people, Cheng Yanjin was also very moved.
"If you like it, you can also go to Your Majesty and ask for one!"
Yu Chigong raised his eyebrows and said with a smile.
"I'm not as thick-skinned as you!"
Cheng Yanjin glared at him and ignored him.
"If you want to own a tractor, you have to learn how to drive it!"
The eldest grandson Wuji is also very envious of Li Er, but he can't drive at all, even if he has a tractor, what can he do?
"It's not easy, let's all study it when we have time!"
"That's right, the old man has to learn too!"
The eldest grandson Wuji looked at Li Er's sassy demeanor, and he was very envious.
"Let's go!"
"Let's go!"
……
A bunch of veterans are all ready to learn how to drive.
With the gradual increase in the production of tractors, sooner or later it will be sold to the outside world, so this driving skill must be learned!
While everyone was talking and laughing, Li Er drove the tractor all the way to the palace, and then there was no more.
Wei Chigong cried outside the palace and blinded his eyes, "Your Majesty, isn't that a reward for the old minister?" ”
"Haha, you old boy, Your Majesty is just teasing you!"
This can make Cheng bite Jin Le.
The heart that was originally extremely unbalanced is now balanced!
……
The headline of the next day was that Li Er coerced the ministers to plough the plough.
In normal times, this is definitely big news.
But after witnessing Li Er driving a tractor into Chang'an City, the people didn't think it was anything unusual.
After all, it is more real to see the emperor with his own eyes, and he can also take it out and brag about it.
"Master Horse, spring ploughing is coming, how should the tractor be arranged?"
In the Horse Mansion, Lin Wu asked with a look of embarrassment.
The tractor is Zhao Yin's private property, and he doesn't dare to call the shots!
Although he said before that he would set up a cooperative, he didn't know exactly how to implement it and when it would be implemented!
"You can go to the head of the household department to discuss this matter!"
Zhao Yin rubbed his eyes lazily and pushed the matter out.
It's simple, but it's complicated.
His main purpose is to promote tractors, if the price is set high, the people will definitely not be able to use it, but if it is set low, the court will definitely lose.
Therefore, it is most appropriate to find the head of the household department for this matter.
After all, this old man knows best how much the people's annual per capita income is!
"Yes!"
After receiving the order, Lin Wu hurriedly handed it over.
At the same time, the ministers who had just come down from the early dynasty immediately surrounded the eldest grandson Wuji, and they all wanted to put themselves in front.
Especially barbarians like Wei Chigong and Cheng Biting Jin, they have a posture that if anyone robs them, they will do it!
This scene gave the eldest grandson Wuji a headache, and he hurriedly returned to Shangshu Province to find a scribe to help register.
He also learned from Zhao Yin and became a shopkeeper.
It wasn't until the afternoon that Lin Wu took a piece of paper and returned to the Horse Mansion.
"Master Horse, this is the plan given by the household department, take a look!"
"No need, such trivial things, you can just watch and do it yourself!"
Zhao Yin didn't bother to care about this.
If he had to worry about all the miscellaneous things, he would be exhausted to death in less than two days!
"After the agreement between the lower officials and Dai Shangshu, it was decided to set the price at 50 wen per mu, what is the opinion of the horse master?"
Lin Wu has also been by Zhao Yin's side for many years, and he knows that he is most afraid of trouble, so he tried to tell the results of this discussion as simply as possible.
"This old man ......!"
Hearing this price, Zhao Yin shook his head and smiled bitterly.
Although he had expected that the old man would definitely lower the price to the people, he didn't expect it to be so low.
Although the tractor ploughs a lot of land every day, the machine itself costs 6,000 yuan, and it also burns coal, as well as labor and wear.
He offered this price, although there is still a little bit left in the imperial court, but if he wants to return to the capital, it will be a few years later!
I don't know if Li Er will agree after hearing this price, after all, the imperial court is not rich enough to popularize tractors for free.
"Let's go up to 100 Wen!"
In order to avoid trouble for Li Er after hearing the news, Zhao Yin thought about it for a while and finally set the price.
"It's okay, otherwise, when the people get used to fifty wen, the price will suddenly increase later, and I am afraid it will cause public anger!"
Lin Wu thought about it and completely agreed with his approach.
"Well, if the price is according to fifty wen, the imperial court doesn't know what year it will be!"
"Then I'll go to Dai Shangshu later!"
"Okay, this matter will be handed over to Li Wanting, let her write a report, explain the benefits of the tractor again, and if you want to sign up, you can also start!"
"Yes!"
After the price was agreed, Lin Wu went to the household department again and discussed the pricing with Dai Guan.
Dai Xuan also suddenly realized that before he only cared about the people and pressed the price again and again, but he forgot the price of the tractor itself.
The treasury of the imperial court was not yet rich to that extent.
After the price was set, Dai Zhou went to Li Er, hoping that Li Er could make a holy decree to help publicize it.
Under the double propaganda of the holy decree and the newspapers, the enthusiasm of the people was extremely high.
The land that was supposed to be cultivated for a long time can now be ploughed in just two days, greatly freeing the hands of the people.
And there will be no land wasted because it can't be cultivated.
For Datang now, saving time is saving money.
Because of their free time, they can go to work in factories.
The wages of the work are enough to pay for the hiring of a tractor!
