Chapter 233: Bicycles
The Propaganda Department received the emperor's hint and quickly implemented it.
Therefore, the latest newspapers are praising the benevolence and righteousness of officials, knowing that the Qing treasury is the blood and sweat of the people, borrowing emergency and solving the urgent need to repay the arrears, which is really admirable.
After this was done, Yinzhen asked people to take out the silver alone, and according to the amount of silver, Yinzhen asked people to draw up a plan to build a college.
There are many children in the Eight Banners of the capital, and there are many who go to school, of course, this lot cannot be compared with modern times, after all, the population base is not the same.
According to the plan, Yinzhen planned to build eight academies first.
Four of them were used for the enlightenment of the children of the Eight Banners, and they did not need to spend money to study, and even exempted them from food, but the silver that the imperial court had promised to the Eight Banners before was naturally gone.
The other four are used to teach those who are not talented in reading according to their aptitude, teaching them some means of making a living, some similar to vocational and technical colleges, and the last two academies are used to house those who are talented in reading.
Because there are not many people who are good at reading in the Eight Banners, Yinzhen plans to use one of the academies to open to Han students, which 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 participate, and at least they must have a talent and fame to participate in the selection examination.
Of course, if the students who enter are indeed ranked in the bottom 100 for five consecutive times, they can no longer continue to use the resources of the college.
Yinzhen had such a plan, so he ordered someone to call the household department secretary, the Ministry of Industry book, the Ministry of Rites department and Zhu Tao.
Originally, Yinzhen also planned to call the Propaganda Department over, but after thinking about it for a while, the matter has not yet been decided, so let's make the plan first.
Four people, four departments.
Yin Zhen was assigned the task, and the Ministry of Engineering Shangshu and Zhu Tao were responsible for the construction of the academy together, and as for what kind of construction was built, the Ministry of Engineering was responsible for the implementation of the construction.
Zhu Tao is also responsible for the follow-up selection in addition to these, after all, the Ministry of Education must take care of these, as for the Ministry of Rites, it is naturally responsible for the papers, the responsibility of the Ministry of Education, but most of the Ministry of Education are young people now, and they are not convinced by the public, so this matter also 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 household department, it is even simpler, that is, it is responsible for the accounts, and the household department takes the money from the state treasury.
Other people are accustomed to the emperor's practice of thinking about it one by one, and the Ministry of Education where Zhu Tao is located is what Yinzhen wants to come out of, but Zhu Tao is now constantly complaining in his heart, the emperor is indeed crossing, right.
Bookstore (Library), Seowon (Compulsory Education), ...... Even if he is a historical idiot, he understands that the emperor must have some adventures.
Yin Zhen told Yun Rong about this, Yun Rong has no opinion, reading is clear about right and wrong, Yun Rong understands this truth.
"You told me good news, and I'll tell you good news."
"What's the good news?" In fact, Yin Zhen had some guesses, after all, she still knew what Yun Rong had been busy with recently, but he still looked at Yun Rong with a puzzled look and asked.
Yun Rong smiled and said, "I made three finished bicycles. ”
Bicycle Yinzhen has still seen, that is the bicycle in the land of China is not called a bicycle, called a foreign car, listen to the name to know its origin, from the West.
During the Republic of China, foreign cars belonged to luxury jewelry, and the people who owned them were inevitably rich and noble.
Yin Zhen smiled and said, "Congratulations, madam, you got what you wanted." ”
Yun Rong's joy is naturally real.
For Yun Rong, the construction of the bicycle is not difficult, but the rare place is that the materials are not up to standard, and the 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 Yunrong alone, so if the bicycle is not used in the right material, the life is too short, and the existence is meaningless.
If only the materials are good, after all, Yunrong has technology, and it is a big deal to make up for the shortcomings with more training time, and the most difficult part is in the parts.
The bicycle looks simple in structure, but the large and small parts in it are not small, Yun Rong's laboratory is okay, and the parts can still be found, but if the bicycle is to be launched, it is impossible to count on her one acre and three points of land.
Therefore, the production of parts is very important, so Yunrong has specially assembled a lot of machine tools that can produce parts.
The materials used in these machine tools are good, and if they are enough, it is also possible to build a factory and build an assembly line.
"I have drawn a drawing of the parts needed for this bicycle, how to assemble it I have also given a detailed explanation, if the general craftsman is literate must understand, when the time comes, choose a factory, prepare more machine tools, then the bicycle can be produced by itself......"
Yun Rong chattered a lot, and Yinzhen basically understood.
"How are you going to sell the bike?"
Yun Rong also thought about this problem: "The Ministry of Internal Affairs is not suitable, the profit margin of bicycles is too large, and in the next five to ten years, it can only be bought as luxury goods, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs is not suitable to come forward." ”
Yin Zhen 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 a lot of rich and noble families, if the bicycle is sold anywhere, it will be an audience......
Now the Internal Affairs Office has been rectified, but the Internal Affairs Office is really not suitable to come forward, and it is appropriate to hand this matter over to Wu Yiming.
"I listen to you, do you plan to use someone from the Internal Affairs Bureau, or someone from Wu Yiming?"
Yun Rong shook her head and said: "No, the situation is a little different this time, there are already machine tools, the most important thing for the bicycle is the production of parts, with parts, when the time comes, the assembly line will be carried out, and then find some careful and cautious people, let the craftsman teach them to assemble the bicycle, that's it." ”
Wu Yiming's shop has many craftsmen, and there is no place where the Ministry of Internal Affairs is short of people, and the Ministry of Industry is also an expert in this area, but if it is used to assemble bicycles, it is inevitably overkill.
That's why Yun Rong aimed at ordinary people, assembly line operations, machine tool production parts, there is really no possibility to leak secrets, and the people are not worried.
On the other hand, on the one hand, such a problem can solve the work problems of many people, and if society is to develop, it is natural that everyone can perform their own duties.
Although the Qing Dynasty is thriving today, many people have no additional income except farming, and natural disasters are the catastrophe of destruction.
If there is no income in the family, and you expect to live on one acre and three points of land, you will inevitably be controlled by others everywhere.
Yinzhen was clear when he heard it, and soon understood the benefits that this could bring.
In the past, Yun Rong didn't actually think about this, she followed Yinzhen to a lot of places, her horizons broadened a lot, and she saw the current situation of the Qing Dynasty, and Yun Rong didn't sigh in her heart.
Originally, she just wanted to do research with peace of mind, anyway, with Yinzhen on top, she was also at ease, but after Jiang Nan came back, she gradually changed her mind.
The Qing Dynasty is the Qing Dynasty that Yinzhen wants to change, husband and wife are one, which seems to have become her responsibility, although this responsibility is heavy, but it is undeniable that she is willing to bear it with Yinzhen.
Yinzhen saw these changes in Yunrong, but she didn't think that Yunrong was involved in politics, even if Yunrong really did politics, it didn't matter, Yinzhen knew Yunrong, and was willing to believe because she understood.
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 the Qing Dynasty.
Yin Zhen said with a smile: "My daughter-in-law has been able to do things recently, and she thinks that things are more comprehensive than being a husband." ”
Yun Rong naturally knew that Yin Zhen was joking, Yun Rong could say that she was still taking advantage of the living environment in her previous life, and she was probably still blind when she made serious decisions.
So Yun Rong glanced at him.
The two of them continued, and you and I got up.
Two days later, Wu Yiming received a bicycle, and by the way, he gave her a letter, and the car was given to her, and the letter also explained that the bicycle would be sold in department stores in the future, and as for how to publicize it to sell it at a high price, the letter did not say.
Wu Yiming looked at the bicycle, and then thought of the auction house.
