In today's Ming Dynasty, as long as you have skills, you can live better than most people, let alone mechanic repair, which is a top-notch skill in this era.
Of course, if you not only have the skills, but also the brains to do scientific research.
That's great. Congratulations, you won't have to worry about it for the rest of your life. Food, clothing, housing, transportation, and even reproduction will be taken care of by the Ming court!
The monthly salary of a researcher exceeds that of most professions in society, and as long as there are technological breakthroughs, the court will pay generous bonuses.
Even if it is a major breakthrough, the court will reward you with official positions and titles!
Many researchers have achieved a class jump through this!
In addition, the imperial court would also allocate housing to researchers, arrange for their children, and even directly provide wives to some straight men in science and engineering who had terminal cancer.
Although the Ming Dynasty has made many large-scale projects in recent years, the funding for scientific research institutions has never been reduced. On the contrary, it has continued to increase every year.
Zhu Hongyu has always implemented the understanding that science and technology is the primary productive force from beginning to end!
The imperial court's continuous financial investment every year, and more importantly, the emperor's attention, are the reasons for the rapid development of science and technology in Ming Dynasty.
This is the power and influence that a founding emperor had in the feudal era!
There are very few things they want to do but can't do!
Just like what happened in history, "The king of Chu had such a slim waist that many people died of starvation in the palace."
So, it is normal now that "the Emperor Ming loves science and everyone in the world is studying it", right?
Li Shengli's craftsmanship determines that his life will not be bad.
In addition, he has a simple and honest personality and has never deliberately cheated others by making false claims about machine repairs, so his business is very good.
With a monthly income of more than ten silver dollars, he could afford to smoke Chinese cigarettes even if they cost one silver dollar a pack.
After listening to shopkeeper Ding's words, Li Shengli waved his hand and said.
"No, no!"
"Although I have a lot of income, I can't waste it!"
"Living in the capital is not easy. Food, rent, children going to school, and the rouge and gouache used by my wife are all money. The daily consumption is very high. If you have money, you can't spend it carelessly."
Shopkeeper Ding said with a smile when he heard this.
"I heard that the residential buildings near the base of Nanjing's city wall will be demolished recently. Master Li's house should also be included in the demolition, right?"
"The imperial court gave a lot of compensation after the demolition. Once the compensation is received, Master Li will be able to start building the smoke and wine."
When Li Shengli heard this, he sighed and said.
"Where can such a good thing come from!"
"It's true that my home is going to be demolished, but after the demolition is completed, we have to immediately start preparing to buy a new house and buy furniture, etc., so there won't be much compensation left in the end."
"You still have to save a little!"
Nowadays, the housing prices in Nanjing City during the Ming Dynasty are already very exaggerated!
The compensation paid by the court was almost calculated based on the housing prices in the local area where the demolition was carried out.
After the house is demolished, the compensation you can get will be almost enough to sell another house!
Li Shengli is now very worried. After the demolition of his house, he should use the money he has saved over the years to subsidize it and buy a house in a better location in Nanjing.
Or simply buy a house in the suburbs of Nanjing!
Although the suburban areas outside Nanjing's old city are a bit remote, housing prices are much cheaper.
More importantly, if the Li family buys a house in the suburbs, after purchasing the house and purchasing furniture, there should still be part of the demolition compensation left.

Li Shengli also wanted to use this money to make his machine repair shop bigger and stronger.
There are several apprentices in his shop, all of whom are skilled apprentices.
There are also a lot of various mechanical equipment. Although they are not the latest models, they are all of good quality.
As long as he adds some more machine tools, his machine repair shop can successfully transform into a small factory.
By then, you will definitely be able to earn a lot more money now!
Today's Ming Dynasty is full of blue oceans from top to bottom, especially in industry and commerce. It can even be said that as long as you find the right direction, even a pig standing on the wind can make money.
After collecting the money to repair the machine, he said goodbye and left the textile factory.
Li Shengli walked with his apprentice from the machine repair shop in Nanjing.
Along the way, Li Shengli was thinking about how to use the demolition compensation money.
After thinking for a long time, Li Shengli finally made up his mind.
Instead of buying a house now, the family can rent a house for the time being!
He wants to use the demolition compensation money to build his own machine repair shop and build a factory of his own on a piece of wasteland outside Nanjing City.
Purchase more machine tools, boring machines, milling machines and other machines, and recruit more apprentices.
Make the machine repair shop truly bigger and stronger!
But when the time comes, if he really follows his plan, the demolition compensation money may not be enough.
Thinking about these messy things, Li Shengli turned around and walked toward the Daming Royal Bank store on Zhuque Street.
For the entrepreneurship of some small and micro enterprises, the Ming court had special support policies.
As long as you have certain collateral, Daming Royal Bank can provide you with certain low-interest or even interest-free loans.
Especially for industries related to industrial development, Daming Royal Bank has special support policies.
Of course, not everyone is as motivated as Li Shengli.
Many people have made up their mind to die as soon as the compensation for demolition from the court arrives.
Although Chinese people are very hard-working, laziness is also a bad trait shared by all people.
As long as you don't have to buy a house in Nanjing, the money gained from a demolition will be enough to live comfortably for the rest of your life. After receiving such a huge sum of money, most people will most likely have no intention of struggling anymore.
…
Three days later!
Li Shengli walked out of the Daming Royal Bank store with his young apprentice, loan-related information, agreement, etc.
Looking back at the splendid Ming Dynasty Royal Bank store behind him, Li Shengli took a deep breath, with blood surging in his chest.
As he reaches middle age, he has rediscovered the passion of his youth in his career!
"Xiao Wu, you are now going to contact the people at the machinery factory and order a batch of machine tools and steam engines."
"Remember, look for those that are second-hand or damaged!"
"That kind of machine is cheap! After I get the machine, I will take you to repair it and let you practice your skills."
Li Shengli ordered to his young apprentice.
Hearing this, Xiao Wu nodded and said.
"Master, I understand!"
After Li Shengli ordered his apprentices, he took the loan documents from Daming Royal Bank and headed straight out of Nanjing.
