Chapter 469 Need to learn

"Since this tractor belongs to me, I will drive one back to the palace today!"

After buying all the tractors very arrogantly, Ying Zheng said with a beaming face.

I just drove around the yard and it’s not enough!

This time, I ordered the craftsmen to add more coal and drive it to the palace in one go. It will definitely be a hit!

"Haha! We also want to drive the tractor back to the city!"

"Yes, yes, we also bought this tractor and drove it back together!"

"If we don't keep it together, we can still make the headlines in tomorrow's newspaper!"

"Yes, yes, let's go together...!"

At Ying Zheng's suggestion, several veterans also became interested and wanted to show off their skills on steam tractors.

When His Majesty the Crown Prince was teaching His Majesty just now, they all listened carefully and roughly understood the principle, but they just needed to put it into practice!

Since His Majesty can drive it, then they can do it even more!

However, just when everyone was eager to give it a try, they were dissuaded by Ying Feiyu, "No!"

"No? Why is this?"

Everyone was puzzled, blinking and staring at him doubtfully.

Does this tractor still need to be distinguished by status?

Your Majesty can do it, but they, the courtiers, can't do it?

"There are many people in Xianyang City. My father and several ministers are not familiar with tractors. What if they bump into people at a turn or blind corner? This thing is made of iron. If it hits a tractor, half of your life will be lost!"

"Well... that's true!"

Ying Zheng thought for a moment and nodded.

"So, this tractor can no longer enter the city?"

Wang Ben asked.

"That's not true. There is a driving course in the technical school. As long as you study there and pass the test, you can drive on the road!"

The number of tractors is not large now, but the next batch will be produced soon, and there will be more and more tractors in the future.

If anyone can drive a tractor freely on the street, it will definitely cause a traffic accident, and then he will become a sinner for the ages!

Therefore, we must strictly control it from the beginning. We must have a graduation certificate issued by a technical school before we can drive the tractor on the road!

"Haha! This is easy, I'll go back later!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Ben immediately laughed.

"Yes, yes, I'll go too. Then I can drive X's tractor around the streets!"

"And me, let's study together...!"

Several other people's eyes also lit up, and they were ready to go to a technical school to learn driving skills.

"Haha! How about we make a bet together? Let's see who can pass the exam first, and the last one will have to be a guest for three days!"

Zhang Han's heart moved, and an idea suddenly came to him.

"Hmph! Let's just bet. Are we afraid of you?"

Several other people came forward with unyielding energy and said in unison.

Only Ying Zheng had a cold face!

They are the ministers of the court, and no one will say anything when they go to the technical school. But he is the emperor. If he goes to the technical school and studies with a group of common people, even if he is not afraid of embarrassment, the ministers will definitely not agree, for fear of appearing.

What a danger!

Could it be that he could only watch these guys driving through the streets of Xianyang City?

"Father, don't worry, I will find a teacher from the technical school to teach you how to drive this steam tractor!"

As if he had read through Ying Zheng's thoughts, Ying Feiyu said with a smile.

"Haha! That's great, my son is the most considerate!"

Hearing this, Ying Zheng suddenly smiled and it was no longer time to walk away.

When the steam tractor was first built, Ying Feiyu selected a few articulate craftsmen to specialize in learning driving techniques, from theory to practice!

Now he has become a teacher at a technical school and has trained many driving talents!

When the time comes, one of them will be selected to enter the palace to teach Ying Zheng!

Otherwise, why should this old guy scratch the wall in such a hurry?

After returning to the city, Zhang Han led the people from the Ministry of Household Affairs to start planning, calculating the cultivated area and population of Daqin, and seeing what price the tractors should be rented out at.

The government has also established a cooperative, and newspapers are also publicizing the news!

"Hey! The first batch of tractors has been produced! The price is five thousand gold!"

"So expensive? We can't afford it!"

"Is this expensive? My nephew works in a steam train factory and was transferred to make steam tractors years ago. According to him, steam tractors are made entirely of fine iron and have many precision instruments inside. The cost is

It’s about four thousand gold, and selling it for five thousand gold is already a very conscientious price!”

"If that's the case, five thousand gold doesn't seem too expensive!"

"Alas! After all, we people are still incompetent. Even if the tractor is sold at cost price, we can't afford it...!"

After learning the price, many people were deterred.

There is no way, the old need to see a doctor, the young need to study. Although the current income has increased, the living standard is also improving. You want to have what others have, so the expenses are also high!

"I saw you didn't read the newspaper carefully!"

"How do you say this?"

"The newspapers said that except for a few ministers, all of these tractors have been purchased by the imperial court!"

"Oh? Why did the imperial court buy so many tractors?"

"What else can we do? Just benefit our people!"

"Benefiting the people?"

"No! The court knew that ordinary people like us couldn't afford it, so it bought all the more than ninety tractors and ordered the government to set up a cooperative and hired many drivers. When the spring plowing comes, we can go to the cooperative to rent tractors.

!”

"Lease? What's the leasing method?"

"Fifty cents per acre! As long as you take the money and sign up at the cooperative, someone will come to your home and help you till the land!"

"Yeah! This method is good! My family has ten acres of land. In previous years, just asking for leave from the factory to farm would have taken more than ten days. That would mean losing all my four and five items, and would make me half dead from exhaustion. In this way, as long as

With five hundred coins, the tractor can help me plant the land in one day!"

"Pull it down, you underestimate the tractor too much. With the little land you have, you can't even use it for a day, not even half a day!"

"This is really good. I will go to the government to sign up now...!"

Since the newspaper published it, the news about the implementation of steam tractors in Xianyang has spread more and more widely.

Even the illiterate people received the news through their neighbors and went to the cooperative excitedly!

The cooperative that had just been established was immediately full. More than 90 tractors were queued up in three days and half a month later!

Nowadays, there are many factories in Xianyang. The young and strong people go to work in the factories, leaving only some old people to farm at home. The young people will take leave in spring and autumn to come back to help!

Well now, with tractors, as long as you spend a little money, the government will send people to plow the land!
Chapter completed!
