Chapter 468: Imperial Court Purchase
In the past two years, they have become richer and richer, and Wang Ben and others have become accustomed to spending money, and they seem to have forgotten that their annual salary is only about 1,000 gold.
In the past, let alone taking out 50,000 gold at once, even if it was 5,000 gold, it would be hard! It won't feel cheap!
"Five thousand gold!"
A few old guys guessed twice and didn't guess correctly, so Ying Feiyu simply said it directly.
"Five thousand gold? This steam tractor is only sold for 5,000 gold? No way? ”
The veterans were really stunned.
The same is powered by a steam engine, why is the steam ship only 1.5 million gold, and the steam tractor is only 5,000 gold?
That's too much of a difference, isn't it? Can't compare!
"You heard it right, steam tractors do sell for only five thousand gold!"
Ying Feiyu nodded firmly.
Tractors will be sold in large quantities in the future, and most of the people who buy them are ordinary people, so as long as they make a little profit, they can't be sold too high!
After the steam tractor was built, Huang Yuan calculated the cost in detail, which was about 4,000 gold.
If there is a special production line, the cost will drop slightly after the craftsmen are skilled!
The price is 5,000 gold, and each unit can earn 1,000 gold, which is okay!
"Okay, I'll order one!"
"Me too!"
"I want it too! It's a pity that such a cheap thing can only be bought for one ......! ”
After learning the price, everyone raised their hands again to report the number, for fear that they would not have their own share.
"Humph! Only 100 cars were produced, and if they were all bought by you all at once, what would the people do? ”
Ying Feiyu rolled her eyes.
These guys are very rich, even if they buy all these tractors, it will definitely not be a problem!
It was to prevent such a situation from happening, so he decided to limit the purchase!
People who buy steam tractors must have a real name system, and if it is found that someone is fake or repeatedly purchased, then the government will come forward to punish it!
"Hmmm! Fei Yu is right! The steam tractor is to help the people spring ploughing, and now the number is too small, and it is good to have one in each person's hand! ”
Ying Zheng said approvingly.
As a result, everyone has dispelled the idea of wanting to buy more!
"Although the price of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been set very low, it is still too expensive for ordinary people, especially those in remote areas!"
Feng Qujian gave his hand to play.
Now the people near Xianyang and along the railway are rich, but they still can't take out 5,000 gold, not to mention those remote areas, they can't take out so much money!
"Feng Shangshu can rest assured, this prince naturally thought of it!"
"Oh? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince even thought of this? ”
Feng Quji was stunned.
I know that this kid is delicate, but I didn't expect it to be so detailed?
"But what's the solution?"
Ying Zheng also stared at Ying Feiyu with burning eyes.
The tractor was originally developed for the convenience of the people to cultivate, and the cost was expensive, and it was impossible to pay a few pennies like paper.
If the people can't afford it, they can't let the court give it away for free, right?
In this way, even the richest court can't afford it!
"The solution is naturally ......!"
Ying Feiyu grinned slightly, and continued: "The imperial court buys!" ”
"What?"
Ying Zheng and Zhang Han were shocked.
Good guy, you can really come whatever you want, and just thinking that the court can't afford it, this kid just proposed to let the court buy it.
"What kind of bad idea is this, you kid, my Daqin now has a population of at least 30 million, if there is a tractor per household, the imperial court will immediately go bankrupt! You kid can get rich, or I will give you the treasury directly! Or will you just give up the throne to you? ”
Ying Zheng's anger came up at once, crackled and scolded him, and then he was about to brush his sleeves away.
Ying Feiyu leaned on the tractor unhurriedly, fiddling with his fingernails, and said leisurely: "Since my father doesn't want to make money, then forget it, just treat it as if my son didn't say it!" ”
"What? Let the court buy you these broken copper and iron, you kid is embarrassed to say that it is making money? I see that you kid is trying to cheat me for almost ...... money! ”
Ying Zhengqi is not good, "What else do you say is good for the country and the people, according to me, this tractor is indeed good for the people, but it is definitely not good for the country!" ”
At the beginning, it was also counting on the popularization of tractors to achieve immigration.
Now that the tractor has been produced, all of them have to be purchased by the imperial court, what a cheating bear child!
No wonder Zhang Han and others want to ask the price first, it turns out that this kid is used to tricking people!
This time, he actually hit his old man with all the ideas!
"Although ordinary people have surplus food in their hands, there is absolutely not much money left, except for daily expenses, there is no money at all, let alone five thousand gold, even if it is fifty gold, there is not much that can be taken out!"
Ying Feiyu has many industries under his hands, and the people he comes into contact with are ordinary people.
He knows more about the people's families now than the officials present!
"Since you know the situation of the people, what else do you kid say about benefiting the country and the people? All the money of the imperial court was used to buy steam tractors, and what was used to pay salaries to officials? What to take to build bridges and embankments? What should we do in the event of a flood or drought? The arsenal doesn't want money? ”
Ying Zheng was hurt by the angry cheeks.
I just lost a lot of money in the morning and went out, and in the afternoon, this kid still wanted to trick him!
"Father, you can't change your temper, if you go on like this for a long time, it won't be very good for your body, and your son will no longer have the Yijin Washing Pill......!"
Ying Feiyu said jokingly: "Before Erchen's words were finished, my father was furious, and he was in a hurry, even if Bian Que was alive, he couldn't save it!" ”
"Although people can't afford to buy steam tractors, they can rent them!"
"The imperial court buys steam tractors and distributes them to the government offices of various counties and counties, and sets up a special department, as long as the people are interested, they can rent tractors to work!"
"Set a reasonable price according to the amount of land, and the people will report it with money, and then there will be special personnel to come to the door to cultivate the land, which is not only convenient, but also makes money for the imperial court!"
"It's just that the return to capital will be a little slower, but in general, it must be profitable, and it also solves the problem of arable land for the people! Free up more workforce! ”
Ying Feiyu simply said his thoughts.
Even in later generations, there were many people who did not have tractors, and this method was used!
Set up a special cooperative, and people can rent tractors to plough the land at will!
"In addition, each tractor is equipped with a trailer, which can replace cattle and horses to pull goods after spring ploughing, and can also load corn, potatoes, rice and other grains during the autumn harvest! These are all available for a fee! ”
"As long as it is properly maintained, a tractor can last for twenty or thirty years, and even if it can no longer be used, it can be sold to steel mills as scrap iron and rebuilt! Does my father still think it's a loss-making deal? ”
After speaking, Ying Feiyu raised his chin towards Ying Zheng.
"Huh......?"
Hearing this, Ying Zheng and several important ministers suddenly lit up, "In this way, this steam tractor not only won't lose money, but it's really a profitable business!" ”
"That's nature! Tractors are widely used, and it is likely that they will replace horse-drawn carriages to pull goods in the future! ”
Ying Feiyu nodded firmly.
"In that case, this batch of steam tractors is all for the imperial court, haha!"
After understanding, Ying Zheng waved his hand and said immediately.
Only a hundred cars were produced in the first batch, which is 500,000 gold according to one 5,000 gold!
This amount of money is a drop in the bucket for the current imperial court!
"Your Majesty, this can't be done! We've all already ordered! ”
"Yes! Your Majesty, we spoke first, if it weren't for the urgency that came out today and didn't bring money, we would have driven away with the tractor now! ”
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has already said before, first come, first served, let's order first, we must give each of us one first, right......?"
As soon as he heard that His Majesty was going to wrap all the tractors round, a few old goods immediately quit.
There are only a few tractors, if they are all bought by the imperial court, what will happen to their land?
"Okay, good, good, for the sake of your loyalty, I'll give you a few of them, and I'll take the rest!"
Ying Zheng knew that he was unreasonable, so he pretended to be very generous and agreed to let a few people buy it.
But it's limited to a few people present, and the others don't even think about it!
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Obviously, they were the first to order, but now the good guy has become His Majesty.
But there is no way, who makes the family the boss, they can only thank them!
"Father can put these tractors in Xianyang first, test the results, and wait until the production of tractors increases in the future, and then gradually put them into other counties!"
Ying Feiyu made a suggestion.
Excluding a few old goods, there are only more than 90 tractors left, and if they are evenly distributed, there will be only two in each county, which is not enough at all.
It's better to concentrate in Xianyang, so that the people can feel the convenience of the tractor first, and when other counties and counties put it on, more people will go to rent!
