The people who read the newspaper in detail were shocked. An electric lamp actually only cost 20 yuan. This price was enough to break the existing lamp oil and candle economy in the Ming Dynasty.

Who doesn’t want to have a lamp that is the same as a street lamp in their home? Especially after three years, the electricity cost of 20 yuan a month will be like picking up for free for a small number of people in the capital.

Candles in the Ming Dynasty were more expensive than lamp oil, which led to people being more inclined to buy lamp oil when using them for a long time at night, which formed an industry.

In the late Ming Dynasty, a pound of lamp oil could be sold for four and a half cents. The savings were like money. Turning off the lights while sleeping was enough for four or five days. It cost less than four cents a month, so ordinary people still used it.

of lamp oil.

But electric lamps will be able to replace candles and lamp oil in later generations. In addition to being brighter, the main reason is the reduction in electricity costs. Civilian electricity costs only a few cents per unit, but it costs less than 20 cents per night. A candle can burn for one night.

?

Therefore, Chongzhen listened to Chen Ye's opinion. He did not want to set a price that was too low at one time and directly let Ming Dynasty take a big step forward and kill related industries. Instead, he gave them time and the opportunity to slowly transform.

It is always necessary to give the people a buffer time.

Zhao Guang squeezed through the crowd, threw the money and took the two newspapers, then squeezed through the crowd and exited the circle again, handed the newspapers to his classmates, and began to read them himself.

"It's unbelievable that the imperial court actually established the Ming Royal University and the Ming Vocational College at once..."

"Guangyi, I'm afraid what you said is right. The imperial examination may be changed in the future."

"After entering the power plant, will you have the opportunity to obtain training materials issued by the imperial court? You will also have the opportunity to be selected to receive direct instruction from His Majesty...

Brother He, do you think that if I go to work in a power plant, I won’t break my legs? After all, the Power Grid Group said in the newspaper that it is under the direct control of the Cabinet’s Department of Commerce.

Furthermore, all the team leaders inside can only serve as students or above, and they are also allowed to participate in the national examination set by His Majesty. This can be regarded as an official without rank, right?"

"this……"

The contents of this newspaper moved Zhao Guang's heart. Likewise, it also moved some smart readers with little background in the prefectures and counties covered by the newspaper.

By the end of the Ming Dynasty, the acceptance rate for the imperial examination had dropped to one-thirtieth. More importantly, the benefits of being an official had dropped to freezing point. To make money, one must have a background.

So a new route suddenly appeared in the newspapers, a shortcut that was different from joining the army but with similar benefits.

Since the morning, people in the capital have been rushing to the wire registration office set up by the Ministry of Industry with newspapers in hand. A long queue guide has been set up at the gate of the Ministry of Industry.

Two royal students who received the memory transfer served as the initial personnel of the Power Grid Group, leading a group of officials from the Ministry of Industry to handle these matters.

At the entrance of the industrial gate that has been powered on, a monitor is pointed at the street. In the monitoring room at the other end of the line, Chongzhen and Chen Ye are facing the screen.
