When Emperor Jing heard this, he leaned back and made a tactical move. (The Monkey King.ipg)
Fang Zhengyi continued to talk: "Looking at the high-ranking officials in the court and the wealthy people, they all travel with carriages and horses. But the common people can only rely on two tired legs to run around. Nowadays, new factories have been set up both inside and outside the suburbs of Beijing, and also in the city. With river transportation and various shops and businesses, there is simply a lot of work to do.”
"A large number of workers live in remote areas. They have to rush to work before dawn and cannot return home until it is completely dark. I don't know how hard it is during this period. Have you ever thought about it?"
"In recent years, the prince has worked hard and made great achievements. Starting from Banshanfang, he has rectified the foundation of folk customs, which has led to the whole capital and made the roads look brand new. It can be said that the bicycle came into being at the right time!"
Li Yuanzhao's eyes glowed with brilliance, and he looked at Fang Zhengyi with burning eyes.
Does this have anything to do with me?
Good brother, I finally stopped taking pictures of my father and took pictures of me!
Fang Zheng paused and continued: "In addition, you should have the habit of reading books and newspapers on weekdays. So you should also know that part of the profits from the sale of bicycles on the market will be donated to poor people in remote areas. "
"This is one of the reasons why bicycles are so popular today. The people's enthusiasm to buy them also reflects the great scene in our country where people help each other and are united as one! This can be said to be simple folk customs, working together, and united as one!"
"Everyone in the street has said that the price of bicycles is so low, and they can still be obtained from the meager profits and used for the people. This is your majesty's grace and honor, and the moral rule of the court! A wise king and wise ministers, working together, all the people of the world Everyone is happy and sighs that they are lucky to be born in a prosperous age. I have no regrets in this life..."
Fang Zhengyi looked calm and spoke unhurriedly.
It seemed as if he was telling an extremely normal fact.
But he was constantly calculating in his mind.
Judging from the situation, Jiang Liang didn't intend to admit defeat. He tried to make things passable with his words, but for a while he stumbled himself, and there were others to help him.
I'm going to directly seize the moral high ground now, let's see who dares to push!
Besides, if you have merit... If you take the initiative to offer it to the leader, can the leader still give you a project? If you don't have this kind of professional skills, your previous life will be in vain.
Fang Zhengyi continued to chatter, and some of the ministers began to shake their heads slightly, which seemed to be quite useful.
For the first time, I experienced Fangzheng Yirunwu’s silent flattery skills head-on!
No wonder this bitch has always been like a fish in water in front of His Majesty. It turns out that this is how he feels... It would be great if he could talk like this every day!
Emperor Jing's breathing began to get heavier a little bit, and his blood continued to rise slightly.
I originally wanted to simply listen to a reason analysis, but why did I suddenly get so excited!
Guo Tianyang stood beside Emperor Jing blankly. Although he had already accepted the offer, he still couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
high! So damn high! After all, it’s you!
Only Jiang Liang's face turned darker...
"...In addition, many people have seen that the princes in the court did not use carriages and horses, but rode bicycles to go to court. This shows that the political style of our country is clear and clear. The ministers respect the virtues and run the family, are honest and approachable. , amiable and amiable. Countless people were inspired by this and set an example. This is why bicycles are selling like hotcakes!”
Fang Zheng cleared his throat and felt a little dry: "I have finished speaking. It is inevitable that I have made some omissions. Your Majesty, please correct me."
"Ahem, cough...that's well said." Emperor Jing felt a little dizzy, so he straightened his expression and said, "Since the results have come out, there should be no objections, right?"
"I have an opinion!" Jiang Liang said loudly, "What Mr. Fang just said is indeed reasonable, but the majority of them are actually pre-sales, not actual sales. Isn't this considered fraud?"
"The Ministry of Industry's Yuguang Porcelain is sold one by one. It's real money and goods. If it can be pre-sold, it may not be lower than that of bicycles."
"So I think that the remaining 120,000 taels cannot be counted!"
Sure enough.
Fang Zheng sighed secretly in his heart, but said in his mouth: "Master Jiang, you can't say that."
"I wonder how much of your porcelain can be fired in one kiln, but making a bicycle is a lot more troublesome. The volume is very different, so how can the output be compared."
"The selling prices of the two are hugely different! I only pay five yuan for one piece. Is it reasonable if you sell all the hundreds and dozens of taels of silver in cash? That's unreasonable!"
"What's more, there are some things I haven't said yet!" A sneer appeared in the corner of Fang Zheng's mouth: "Yuguang Porcelain has never done a large-scale publicity like bicycles on the market. You know how it sells for such a high price today. . It’s all about connections and relationships.”
"But what we are comparing is the public opinion, which is the result of selling on the market. This is unfair, and I admit it."
"If we make a fair comparison and sell them on the market, I don't need to say more about the results."
Jiang Liang was furious for a while and argued; "With the reputation of Yuguang Porcelain, if we add promotion and publicity, it will definitely be as good as bicycles!"
"Reputation? What kind of reputation does Yuguang Porcelain have? Among the people... well, that's all! Mr. Jiang, there are some things I don't like to say. We all serve as officials in the same court, so saying it hurts the harmony." Fang Zheng sighed and said.
"Say! I want to hear what the people say!" Jiang Liang glared angrily.
Banshan Daily has already clarified it for Yuguang Porcelain, and the subsequent sales are still okay, but there are still rumors among the people?
Fang Zheng sighed: "Okay, since you want to listen, then I will teach you. Common people say..."
"Who the hell buys Yuguang Porcelain! Only corrupt officials buy that thing!" Fang Zheng took a deep breath and roared with great anger.
Many people were shocked by being shouted at like this, and their eyes couldn't help but dodge...
Emperor Jing was astonished and asked, "Is this really what the people said?"
Fang Zheng nodded: "It's true, I heard someone shouting that on the street."
Jiang Liang felt dizzy for a while... Black! So damn dark!
To praise first and then to criticize, and to say that only corrupt officials buy Yuguang Porcelain is to attack people at the root of their lives!
"Lies, these are all lies, there is no real evidence!" Jiang Liang tried to struggle one last time.
Fang Zhengyi immediately looked at Emperor Jing, clasped his fists and said, "I have already said what I need to say. Your Majesty, please be clear."
Emperor Jing looked at Jiang Liang and said calmly: "Jiang Qing, I am willing to admit defeat."
"Since no one has any objections, then according to the previous agreement, the Ministry of Finance will allocate funds to establish the Royal Academy of Sciences. As for the affiliated colleges, Fang Zhengyi can run it himself."
"Fang Qing, you will then draw up the charter and submit it to the cabinet. After reviewing it and making decisions, it will be announced to the world."
Fang Zheng was satisfied.
Now that the matter has come to an end, it is considered complete!
It would be great if the Academy of Science could be established, but it is really inappropriate for the academy to have a royal reputation.
Once you enter, you will be regarded as a disciple of the emperor, and all scholars in the world will be in trouble!
But having an Academy of Sciences in front of us, who can pull off the big banner in the future, is a huge advantage!
"Your Majesty is wise!"
