Before the Supervisory Council officially took action, Yun Zheng issued the most severe warning to those corrupt officials in Shuobei.
He gave these people a chance to confess and receive leniency.
Anyone who commits corruption or abuses the power can confess his guilt to the Control Yuan within half a month. As long as he confesses honestly and returns the embezzled proceeds, he will be given a lighter punishment and only his personal faults will be held accountable.
Half a month later, the Supervisory Commission will launch a comprehensive supervision of Shuobei. If we are caught at that time, we will be implicated directly!
Anyway, he has given the opportunity.
If those people still have a lucky mentality and get caught, don't blame him for being cruel.
Of course, if someone could escape the supervision of the Supervisory Council, that was their own ability and he had nothing to say.
While Tuohuan had not yet arrived in Dingbei, Yun Zheng also took the time to solve the problem of the carriage.
To this end, he specially recruited four skilled carpenters and two blacksmiths to the palace.
Whenever he had nothing to do, he would work with the carpenters to study the steering mechanism of the carriage.
...
...
Yun Zheng has temporarily abandoned the original spring shock absorber and replaced it with a simpler steel plate shock absorber. Although the effect is not as good as spring shock absorber, it is worse than nothing.
"Greetings to His Highness, and Madam Zi..."
Yun Zheng brought Ye Zi to the courtyard, and the six of them saluted hurriedly.
"No need to be polite!"
Yun Zheng smiled, "I heard that you have made a model of a new carriage?"
"Uh-huh!"
He Da, the leader, nodded repeatedly and excitedly lifted the cloth beside him, "Your Highness, please look!"
As the sackcloth was removed, a new model of a four-wheeled carriage appeared in front of Yun Zhenghe.
The model uses large and small wheels, with smaller front wheels and slightly larger rear wheels.
As to whether this style will be used in the end, or a style with four wheels of the same size, we can only wait until a few more carriages are built before verifying it.
This model is not small, just like the children’s car in the previous life.
It’s just right. When Yun Cang grows up a little, I can give this to him as a toy.
While he was daydreaming, Yun Zheng excitedly pulled Ye Zi forward to check it out.
As for the rest, there is nothing special about it. The main thing is whether the steering is flexible.
As long as the steering is fine, we can order people to start building a new carriage.
Yun Zheng squatted down and fiddled with it, and found that the steering of the carriage was quite flexible.
Turning the carriage upside down, you can clearly see the steering structure underneath the carriage.
This also seemed to be some improvement based on the sketch he drew.
"Is this a success?"
Looking at the smile on Yun Zheng's face, Ye Zi couldn't help but ask with anticipation.
“It’s basically done.”
Yun Zheng had a wide smile on his face. "However, we will have to wait until we make it and try it out to know how it works."
There is definitely a big difference between the model and the real thing.
Not only the rationality of the structure but also the safety must be tested.
This requires someone to sit on it.
"Then can this kind of carriage carry more goods?"
Ye Zi asked again.
In her opinion, if she had two more wheels and made the carriage bigger, she could carry more cargo.
"This...Is it probably enough?"
Yun Zheng was a little unsure, "It depends on whether the road is easy to walk on."
A four-wheeled carriage looks more stable, and theoretically, if it were made bigger it should be able to carry more cargo.
But in terms of passability, a four-wheeled carriage is definitely not as good as a two-wheeled carriage.
Even the official road is not as flat as imagined. When driving on it, there are potholes everywhere. If there are too many goods, the center of gravity will be unstable and the vehicle may easily overturn.
“It seems… so.”
Ye Zi suddenly realized.
Yun Zheng thought for a moment, and then said to He Da and the others, "Well, you check the model a few more times to see if there is anything that can be improved. If not, send it to the workshop tomorrow and make it according to the model!"
"yes!"
The six people immediately obeyed the order.
"Tell Xin Sheng later to give each of them a reward of ten taels of silver!"
At this time, Yun Zheng instructed Ye Zi again.
"Um."
Ye Zi pursed her lips and smiled.
"Thank you, Your Highness, and thank you, Madam Zi!"
The six people were very happy and bowed to express their gratitude.
Ten taels of silver may not even amount to a hair to Yun Zheng.
But for them, this is a huge sum of money!
"Okay, keep busy!"
Yun Zheng waved at them, took Ye Zi's hand and left.
After they left the compound, Ye Zi whispered, "Aren't you too casual in giving rewards? Ten taels of silver for no reason?"
Although this amount of silver is really nothing to Yun Zheng, one should know how to reward him in moderation.
It doesn't matter if six people are watching and appreciating it like this.
But if there were more people, and they were so lavish in watching the rewards, I don’t know how much money would be spent on rewards alone in a year.
"Ten taels of silver per person is too much?"
Yun Zheng shook his head and smiled, "I was planning to reward them with 100 taels of silver each once the new carriage is finally ready!"
"ah?"
Ye Zi looked at Yun Zheng in dumbfounded.
So, these ten taels of silver are just an appetizer?
"Don't worry about the silver for these people!"
Yun Zheng patted Ye Zi's hand and smiled, "These skilled craftsmen are the real treasures! With their continuous innovation of various technologies, we can stay ahead of others..."
It is said that science and technology are the primary productive forces.
These people are the scientists of this era.
The phrase "**skills" has plagued the world in the previous life for many years.
The bloody lesson is there, he will never make this mistake again.
"Is that so?"
Ye Zi tilted her head and thought for a while, "Okay! I'll listen to you! You have a longer-term vision than us!"
If you think about it carefully, this is the truth.
If it weren't for the things Yun Zheng and Zhang Xu came up with, Shuobei's finances would have collapsed long ago and it wouldn't have been able to survive until now!
Do you have a long-term vision?
Yun Zheng just shook his head and smiled.
It's not because I have a long-term vision, it's just because I'm standing on the shoulders of giants.
After thinking for a while, Yun Zheng pulled Ye Zi to sit in the pavilion again, "In fact, I also plan to set up a technical research institute and recruit various skilled craftsmen. I don't need to do anything, just find ways to improve various technologies! However, I haven't figured out where to put this technical research institute yet."
Not only does he want to set up a technical research institute, he also wants to establish a new type of school.
Teach the basics of subjects such as physics, chemistry and mathematics.
However, he is the only one who understands these things.
If anyone is to teach, he will be the only one to teach.
But he simply doesn't have that much time to be a teacher now.
So, this is also a troublesome thing.
"How about buying a house near the palace?"
Ye Zi suggested: "This way we will be closer to the palace, and you can give them some advice and suggestions when you have time."
"That's fine."
Yun Zheng smiled, "However, this Institute of Technology must be protected to prevent our technology from being stolen by someone with ulterior motives! I'll think about it later and see if there is a more suitable place!"
Ye Zi was about to speak, but suddenly frowned.
"What's wrong?"
Yun Zheng was puzzled.
"The baby is kicking me in the belly!"
Ye Zi's brows relaxed and she reached out to touch her belly.
"Is this child disobedient? I'll help you beat him!"
Yun Zheng laughed.
"Where are you reaching your hands?"
"Aren't I helping you teach this little guy a lesson?"
"The child isn't there! You just can't help it!"
"That's not the case!"
"Bah! You are a born pervert. You will never behave yourself if you get the chance!"
"You are really good at judging people..."
