Because the article was too long and contained too much nonsense, Li Zhao excerpted the fragments that reflected the Fujian shipyard, shortened them appropriately, and sent them by telegram to the Imperial Palace in Beijing.

He explained that the content came from a manuscript submitted to a scientific magazine by a shipbuilder from a Fujian shipyard. He then briefly talked about Song Qingyue's proposal. At the same time, he found someone to make a copy of the original manuscript, and then sent someone to send the original copy and other information he wanted to the capital.

The documents were sent to the capital in human form.

The efficiency of the telegraph was too low, and its functions were too simple. For example, the pictures and data tables in the article could not be sent.

Moreover, the article was written by the shipbuilder himself with charcoal. It can be seen that the shipbuilder had worked very hard to write the words neatly, but the writing was so sloppy and rough that it was not beautiful at all.

But it is that view that is the most simple and touching. Li Zhao wanted to share that simplicity with his father in the capital.

Is it useful to spend money on literacy classes for craftsmen?

Can that be a real result?

It seems that there is no worry that the emperor will reject the proposal that Song Qingyue take over the literacy classes in major royal factories and secretly investigate various corruption and employment problems. As early as that article was sent to the capital and submitted to the emperor, Song Qingyue

The selection of personnel for the Nandong team has already begun.

After browsing through the lists of many faculty members, Song Qingyue initially selected Lingxiu and Lingxi, who ran literacy classes in a library near a low-rent house in the suburbs of Taiyuan, as the team leaders to go to the Fujian First Shipyard and the Second Shipyard respectively.

She called the two of them to the palace and asked them to personally tell them some things.

The interests involved in the shipyard were huge, and the shipbuilders did not dare to use their real names. This shows that there is more to it than just being successful. Song Qingyue wanted to explain the risks to them in person, and she wanted to go or not go in the first place.

It’s up to Lingxiu and Lingxi to decide.

"Your Majesty, Lingxiu is willing to go!" Lingxiu knelt down and expressed her determination without thinking, "My Majesty values ​​Lingxiu, and Lingxiu is willing to do anything no matter what! In addition... Lingxiu also wants to go south to see the sea, please grant me your permission!"

Lingxi, whose eyes were shining brightly, also knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Lingxi also wants to go south to see what the sea looks like! Please grant me your permission!"

Whether those two girls would really shut up, Song Qingyue was so moved that she felt sour and soft in her heart. She helped them up and said softly: "He chose a cupboard for each of us to take with him. The food in the south is different from ours.

If there is anything we want to eat, just tell the cook. The weather is also different. If you are not feeling well, don’t hold it in. If you need to, just call a doctor. There is no need to save money."

The two girls smiled and said, "No, they will take care of themselves. There is no need to worry, Madam."

Song Qingyue nodded and said: "We will each choose five people to bring with us. Among the five people, we will choose one of our own assistants. The list will be handed over to the palace in three months."

Three months later, the list was submitted.

Dai Yuqin and Xie Lifen were named assistant legs by Lingxiu and Lingxi.

Song Qingyue smiled knowingly after seeing it. Those two were really helpful. There was no other reason. Those two were famous prostitutes in the past. They were beautiful and knew how to do things. They were perfect for being spies.

The two of them were full of expectations when they asked Nan Dong to help the princess with great things.

It’s just that Dou Xueer was a little unhappy.

The three of them have now bought a courtyard house with a water well in the city, and most of the money was provided by Dou Xueer. In addition to the fixed monthly payment of 5 taels, the comic studio also gets a commission from the sale of comic books.

A comic book of about 75 pages takes about half a month to finalize, and one copywriter is enough. Then it takes three senior painters about a month to complete all the drawings, which is almost too rigid to complete the work.

With the amount, three skilled molders can complete the molding of all the pages in almost one month.

The writers, painters and engravers in the studio all earn less than five taels of silver per month.

In this way, if the labor cost is fully calculated, it will be thirty-five taels of silver.

The cost of printing ink, paper, and binding is about 20 copper coins per copy, plus the copyright fee of 5 copper coins paid to the original author for each copy, and the cost of printing each copy is about 25 copper coins.

The ex-factory price of a seventy-five-page comic strip is about sixty cents. The price for southern merchants who buy in large quantities is sometimes as low as ten cents. On average, the ex-factory price of each comic book from the East is about fifty-five cents.

For every comic book sold, the gross profit is thirty cents.

In this way, basically just selling 2,000 copies of a new comic book can make the money back.

Does the studio give the artists a penny starting from 10,000 copies? For every additional copy sold, the three artists will be given one penny each.

The three books of "Invincible Patrol" Ye Yi, which Dou Xueer participated in the production of, sold more than 200,000 copies, plus the share of other works, in less than four months, Dou Xueer received nearly

Two hundred taels of silver can't make you a little rich woman!

Outside the city of Taiyuan, the price of a slightly remote courtyard house is only about 30 taels. The one with a well is more expensive, 50 taels in the east. Adding some furniture and so on, Ye Yi spent about 80 taels.

Recently, Mrs. Liu from the dental shop told her that if she wanted to change to a larger and more beautifully decorated house, she could go to the bank for a loan. For someone like her with a fixed income of five taels of silver per month, she could get a loan of up to two hundred yuan from the bank.

Two grains of silver can be divided into ten years, and you can get them slowly, and you only need about three taels every month.

Although there is no interest, the rent for houses with courtyards and gardens in Taiyuan City is more than that price.

Moreover, the housing prices in Taiyuan City have been rising in the past two years, so if you buy something early, you will definitely not suffer a loss.

Dou Xueer was very moved after hearing this and planned to discuss it with her good sisters tomorrow night.

She was happily looking forward to living in a beautiful house with her two good sisters, but the two good sisters suddenly said that Dong Yue was leaving to help the princess in Fujian.

How is it acceptable to call Dou Xueer?

"Fujian?!" Dou Xueer opened her eyes wide and looked at Dai Yuqin and Xie Lifen in disbelief.

Dai Yuqin said: "He is going to Quanzhou, and Fen'er is going to Xinghua."

"We are very different from each other?" Dou Xueer was even more unable to understand.

Xie Lifen gave Dou Xueer a piece of crispy stewed pork belly and said softly: "Good sister, I have made great achievements in the empress's place. He and Yuqin are very good at everything. They also

I want to do something good!"

"Can...can we please leave him there alone?!" Tears couldn't stop rolling in Dou Xueer's eyes, which made Dai Yuqin and Xie Lifen feel a little reluctant to leave.

Bu Nao's determination has been made and cannot be changed.

They are not willing to live their whole lives in the library with three taels of silver per month. Lingxi and Lingxiu are not twins. They are both willing to make some achievements and separate, so why can't they?

They should never, never should, let them see a wider world through books in the library.

The vast blue sea as described in the travel notes was very similar to the sea fish as big as Mount Tai and the monster with eight claws in myths and legends. They also wanted to see it.

If they didn't have the opportunity before, they could just walk in the small house, look at the patio and dream in all directions. Now that they have the opportunity, what reason do they have to refuse?

The three sisters couldn't agree to go together, so the meal ended on bad terms.

Dou Xueer cried sadly all morning, but it could not change the determination of the other two to leave.

After breakfast the next morning, Dai Yuqin and Xie Lifen went out to the library to have a meeting with Lingxiu Lingxi.

The princess said that when a telegram came from the capital, they would send four observers from the Audit Department, who were the so-called interns in the previous life, and they would act as math teachers and join the team together.

In addition, the emperor expressed the hope that Science Magazine would publish a special issue of that article as soon as possible, without having to wait until the beginning of January.

It just so happened that Li Zhao spent a whole morning polishing the article. After Song Qingyue read it once, he asked someone to take it to the printing factory and print it out quickly. He spent two days writing a popular science article on structural mechanics that was difficult for high school students. Compared with

Based on the existing mechanics concepts, the concepts of "friction force" and "pulley block" are introduced.

The official "Special Issue on Structural Mechanics" will be published in early June.

Several students from Taiyuan Science College were extremely excited after seeing it. They ran to the principal's office and submitted an application to the principal to observe and conduct research at the shipyard.

The application was sent to Song Qingyue's desk that month.

It just so happened that Nandong's literacy class team set out in the bright moon. Song Qingyue sent two maids to the Science College to inform the students to quickly pack their luggage and set off with the gentlemen from the literacy class in the bright moon and early morning. The empress would give each of them two maids.

One hundred taels of silver research funding, please write three papers that satisfy her within two years. If you can complete it in advance, you can come back in advance.

Jin Wang Diandong personally wrote letters of recommendation to them, asking them to become associate professors at the Academy of Science in the capital.

After hearing this, those students didn't even have time to say a few words of thanks. Among them, two students from Taiyuan Prefecture went back home to say goodbye to their parents, and one student from Pingyang Prefecture didn't even have time to go home.

I said goodbye to my parents, hurriedly wrote a letter to my family, packed my luggage, and planned to follow the team southward in the bright moon.

It is relatively easy to become a ninth-grade doctorate, but the opportunity to become an associate professor is once in a lifetime.

Can you be an official of the sixth rank? Sixth rank!

If you don't take the imperial examination, you won't have to participate in a mathematics competition, which is like a thousand troops crossing a single-plank bridge. The opportunity cannot be missed and the time will never come again.

Although being an official is not tax-free now, the social status is different. The county prince is only seventh grade, which is equivalent to those county princes who were born as Jinshi and have to shout "in official" when they see him.

What's more, if you can be the director of a certain royal shipyard in a few months, wouldn't it be more rewarding than being a county magistrate?!

Those students really guessed what Li Zhao was thinking.

The current conditions and talent reserves are limited, and in the future the management of the shipyard will have to understand technology.

Did the literacy class teaching team set off with the north-south caravan of the Jin Palace? The caravan was protected by the palace, which basically ensured safety along the way.

After the two teams set off, Li Zhao gave Song Qingyue a list of factories under the control of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, totaling 368 factories.

"Then why don't you ask for his life? So many!?"

Song Qingyue's eyes widened and she looked at Li Zhao in disbelief, feeling as if she was begging to go back to her previous life of working for a black-hearted capitalist.

The more I looked at Li Zhao in the morning, the more I felt that he had a dark heart, and the Dongba bit him when he missed him.

"Did I bite her again?" Li Zhao smiled evilly, picked her up, pressed her against the window sill and kissed her hard.

He originally wanted to tease her, but seeing the watery look in the woman's eyes, he was unexpectedly turned on.

Ever since Song Qingyue gave birth to Dong Li Furun, he had been cautious every time, but it had been a long time since he heard her cry and beg for mercy...

The next month, both of them got up late.
To be continued...
