Datang: My apprentice is Princess Changle

Chapter 694 Rubber?

Chapter 722 Rubber?

Hou Hou also told Li Lizhi one thing: "Princess, guess why these Youzhou umbrellas are so simple and transparent?"

Li Lizhi also discovered this. Most of the Youzhou umbrellas that appear in the streets and alleys of Youzhou are transparent, which looks quite simple, but so many transparent umbrellas appear on the street, giving people the feeling that Not as poetic and picturesque as those oil-paper umbrellas.

After thinking about it for a while, she figured out the reason.

"Could it be to not squeeze too much oil-paper umbrella business?" Li Li asked.

Hou Hou smiled, and said: "The princess is really smart. That's it, Youzhou Umbrella mainly serves ordinary people, because the price is low enough, and it is strong enough. It doesn't look ugly, and is quite satisfactory. It provides more choices for ordinary people without occupying too much living space of oil-paper umbrellas. If someone wants a better-looking umbrella, they can buy oil-paper umbrellas. After all, many of the people who sell oil-paper umbrellas and make oil-paper umbrellas are ordinary people. , and there is such a technical content, the king cannot bear to squeeze out such a skill rashly."

If this matter is placed in other people's hands, it may be difficult to understand.

But Li Lizhi could understand her husband's actions. After he came to Youzhou, he did a few decisive things. Many people who didn't know him thought that he must be cold-hearted.

But she knew that her husband had always been like this, and he had never been so indifferent and condescending towards ordinary people.

Datang Shopping Mall, for example, involves a lot of products, but they are basically either high-end or low-end. As long as they are in the same field and have similar skills, they may not be unable to survive at the same time.

Youzhou's products are more about giving people more choices, rather than monopolizing them.

The word monopoly was mentioned by Qin Yang when he was telling her a story on the way back.

"You're right... Husband, he is really gentle." Li Lizhi finished recalling, looked at Houhou who was looking at her with a smile, and sighed softly.

Outside, the rain was pattering, and the carriage quickly returned to the palace.

After Li Lizhi came back, she found that the person they were talking about just now was not in the mansion.

"Your Majesty just went out, and it seems that he went to the new second district."

New second district?
Just now Li Lizhi turned back from there and knew that there are some large and small research institutes in the new second district, all of which have been transformed into a science and technology park and heavily guarded.

She had just let the carriage pass by the science and technology park before, and had no intention of going in to see it. She didn't expect that her husband actually went to this science and technology park?
Li Lizhi had no intention of disturbing her husband. He must have something important to do when he goes to the Science and Technology Park, right?She asked people to prepare meals, which were suitable for eating on rainy days, and kept them warm on the stove.

At this time, Qin Yang was looking at something, squeezed it in surprise, and said, "Rubber?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, this is the rubber refined and produced according to your requirements." The scientific researcher next to him in a white coat asked his assistant to fetch another pair of shoes and showed it to Qin Yang.

"This is... rain boots?" Qin Yang saw what it was at a glance, rain boots!

Isn't this thing rain boots?
"Your Majesty, there are also these pairs of shoes. They are all made of rubber soles, and they are indeed very comfortable to wear. If soldiers are equipped with them, they will be able to travel farther and more easily than in the past, no matter how fast they march."

The researcher said to Qin Yang about the other pairs of shoes brought by his assistant.

Although these pairs of shoes are different from those of later generations, when I touched the soles, they were indeed rubber soles!
Qin Yang was even more satisfied with this. Although with his status, the shoes he wore were very comfortable even without rubber.

The same is true for most other nobles, but the shoes worn by ordinary people and soldiers are not comfortable.

Basically, they are the kind of soles that will hurt the feet after wearing them for a long time. Even straw sandals are considered good. For those who don’t know how to weave straw sandals by themselves, wearing straw sandals will cost money!

They would rather walk barefoot!
These different classes wear different shoes, but if there is rubber, at least in summer, some more breathable rubber sandals can be produced.

Even if the toes are not obviously exposed, as long as it is slightly breathable, it is not that difficult to do.

Because of this incident, Qin Yang directly allocated more funds to the scientific research laboratory that produced the rubber. This kind of reward and support directly made the eyes of other scientific research laboratories red with envy!

Not to mention, each of these people received a bonus of at least 100 taels of silver. This was only a monetary reward. Houses, carriages, and other hardware that improved the quality of life, Qin Yang generously distributed them to those who had made outstanding contributions. people.

To him, every senior talent is very precious!

How to retain these high-level talents?By flickering?You can fool around for a while, but you can't fool around forever!
What he relies on is to give absolute freedom and respect, as well as financial support and various benefits, including houses, cars, and money!

Near the New Second District, less than two miles away from this science and technology park, there is a newly developed residential area.

This residential area is all single-family two-story villas, no matter in terms of style or interior decoration, they are at least twice as good as the houses in the residential area in the new district!
They are all new-style villas with heating, running water, indoor toilets and showers!

These are all distributed to scientific researchers who have stayed in Youzhou Science and Technology Park for more than one year or directly signed contracts for more than five years!
As long as employees of the science and technology park meet these two requirements, everyone has a share!

In addition, due to the difference in credit, the fields in other places will be given!

Although those are not necessarily in the new second district, nor are they necessarily in the counties and other places, most of them are in some counties that are still under development, or some fields in the north, but these things are real. People who come here, but those who have lived here for a while, don't think that those places will always be left behind.

In less than five years, those places will probably become prosperous!

If you don't want the field, you can exchange it for silver, it's all okay!
They can also give full authority to the scientific research institute to hire people to cultivate the land that has been reclaimed, and they can just get the benefits directly during the Chinese New Year every year.

This is simply their dream life.

For example, this time, the research room that produced the rubber has a total of three researchers and six assistants, a total of nine people.

The three scientific researchers, in addition to other rewards, each received [-] acres of land in the north!
And each of the six assistants got five mu of land.

Regardless of the small number of acres, such a reward is an additional reward!

Also because they are constantly accumulating the number of acres of fields, their sense of belonging to Youzhou is getting stronger and stronger!
