This is a very handsome young man, more precisely, he should be a boy.

He looked to be about thirteen or fourteen years old, wearing heavy blue overalls. He was wearing a pair of big-toe shoes on the boat, and they were a very old pair of big-toe shoes.

His little face was flushed with cold, and two lines of clear mucus were flowing down his nostrils.

Li Xiao was a little confused. He didn't believe that this boy could actually create "tremendous power".

"What do you do in this factory?"

"Apprentice! Follow and do some screw-driving work."

"This...did you draw it?" Li Xiao looked at the drawing again with some disbelief.

The painting skills are indeed a bit immature, and it doesn't look like they were tinkered with by those experienced professionals.

"Yeah!" After Rao Bin finished speaking, he sniffed his nose.

Jiang Dayong could not wait to rush up and pull out the mucus from his nose.

"Tell me, how did you come up with the idea of ​​tinkering with this thing?" Li Xiao waved the blueprint in front of the disturbing people.

"I calculated that a car with three wheels saves one wheel compared to a car with four wheels." Rao Bin wiped his nose with his shiny sleeves.

"Is it that simple?"

"Yeah!"

It was a very reasonable explanation, but Li Xiao was speechless.

"Then how did you come up with this drawing?" Li Xiao looked at the drawing again and found that it was indeed Juli.

"Isn't it like this? There is a building in front and a bucket in the back. The building where the car can sit is three people, but my building can only seat one.

It's a bit small, but it can save a wheel."

Li Xiao shook his head helplessly. This boy just relied on his natural talents. This was not just a matter of saving a wheel, but a lot of things were saved.

He has such a talent at such a young age. How can he still get it when he grows up?

"Are you literate?" When Li Xiao looked through the drawings, he found that there were only a few sketches and no text explanation.

Rao Bin glanced at Li Xiao and shook his head sadly.

"Illiterate? Could it be that there are no schools in Changchun?" Li Xiao was very surprised. Logically speaking, Rao Bin should be in middle school at his age.

"The officials do not allow bannermen to go to school." Rao Bin sniffed again.

Li Xiao looked back at Jiang Dayong. He didn't know that there was such a saying in the local area.

"This is like this for us. The bannermen harmed the commander-in-chief and your family. Letting them live and have food to eat is already a grace. How dare they expect to go to school.

Therefore, Xuezheng stipulates that all bannermen are not allowed to go to school. They are not allowed to read or read. They only need to dig for food in the fields." Jiang Dayong said nothing.

This is civil affairs and does not belong to the First Automobile Manufacturing Plant. Changchun Futai quickly stepped forward to report to Li Xiao.

Li Xiao shook his head helplessly. Anything involving Li Xiao was a big deal for these officials.

The hatred of killing parents is definitely a blood feud. What the government said is right. Being alive is already a blessing. How can you expect to go to school to study and learn calligraphy?

"Which flag do you belong to?" Li Xiao looked at Rao Bin and asked.

"True yellow flag!" Rao Bin was a little embarrassed when talking about his identity.

"Hey...! Still a disciple of the Two Yellow Flags, why didn't you follow Huang Taiji?" Li Xiao became even more interested in this young apprentice.

"My mother was pregnant with me that year and had difficulty walking, so she was left behind."

"Is the government treating you well?"

"I was often beaten and scolded by Han children when I was a child! My mother said that our banner people used to treat Han people badly. The Han people now treat us like this, which is already a favor."

"Can you eat enough?" Li Xiao looked at Rao Bin's outfit.

"The corvee and taxes sent by the government are heavier than those of the Han people, but I can still have enough to eat. It's just that my life is poorer. That's why I want to work as an apprentice in the factory so that I can earn more money to honor my mother."

Li Xiao looked back at the palace, and it seemed that the imperial court had no policy of treating bannermen differently.

"Commander, these bannermen killed a lot of Han people. Giving them heavier corvee taxes can be considered punishment for what their ancestors did.

The previous office asked Governor Wang for instructions on this matter, and this is the instruction from the Governor."

"How many bannermen are there under your rule now?" Li Xiao asked, looking at the palace platform.

“When I first moved from Lushun, I was still a Tongpan. I don’t know the exact number, but I only know that there were more than 30,000 people.

Over the years, some died and some were reborn. However, the imperial court gave them land. Although their lives were not rich, they still had enough food and clothing.

Last year, the number of registered households was 39,631, which is an increase of several thousand people compared to previous years."

"Oh! Do your job well, and this place will become more prosperous in the future." Li Xiao responded lightly. He could casually tell the number of registered residents. It seems that this Changchun Futai master is at least a capable official.

"No! Thank you, Marshal, for your advice." After hearing Li Xiao's words, Futai quickly bowed and saluted.

"Banner people are not allowed to study, and they are subject to heavy taxes and hard labor. These things are established policies of the imperial court, and I cannot change them.

After all, the bannermen caused great suffering to us Han people back then. Looking across Liaodong, hundreds of thousands of Han people were killed by the swords of the bannermen.

The number of people who have been slaves and maids and their families and people have been ruined is extremely rare. It is reasonable for descendants to repay the sins committed by our ancestors.

But this child is born with intelligence and talent. Considering the merits of these drawings, I pardoned him and allowed him to enter the school. Like the children of Ming Dynasty, tuition and miscellaneous fees are exempted.

His family members, tax collectors and laborers were the same as the Han people.

Where are you studying?"

"I'm here!" Xuezheng didn't expect that Li Xiao would suddenly call him, so he quickly stood up and bowed to salute.

"This child is now in your hands. You have to take care of him. Don't allow those naughty children to bully or scold him anymore. If there is even the slightest mistake, I will come to trouble you."

"I will obey the Commander-in-Chief's order!" Xuezheng was almost scared to death.

If the commander makes trouble for you, it's better to die. Who doesn't know that this commander is actually the uncrowned emperor.

If a person who can kill an entire family with just one look is looking for trouble for himself, then...!

Xuezheng didn't dare to think about it anymore. Anyway, in the next few years, he would just treat this Rao Bin as his ancestor.

"Rao Bin! My grace is not given to you in vain. I will give you three years to complete all the subjects in elementary school.

In six years, you have to learn all the lessons in primary school and middle school. Then, you ask Jiang Dayong to take you to me.

If you don't learn well, your family will be burdened with heavy labor and taxes again. And you will only be a small apprentice from now on.

The opportunity to change the fate of your family is in your hands, and whether you can grasp it well or not depends on you."

After Li Xiao said something, he patted Rao Bin on the shoulder.

"Why don't you thank the commander for your kindness!" Jiang Dayong rushed over and held down Rao Bin's shaggy head. He kicked Rao Bin on the crook of the leg and kowtowed three times on Rao Bin's head.

"Thank you so much, Marshal!" Rao Bin had blood flowing from his forehead, and he was probably in a daze now.

Even so, I still know how to thank Li Xiao.

I thought I was getting an Edison-like talent, but I didn't expect that he was just a smart, thoughtful kid.

But that's okay, at least when you think about it. There is a motorized tricycle called Juli, which can be used as a means of transportation in areas where road conditions are not ideal.

Although the speed of this thing is usually only thirty or forty kilometers per hour, it is much faster than a horse-drawn carriage.

Horses will get tired, and when they are extremely tired, they need to rest. But they don’t need to use a lot of force. After running for hundreds of kilometers, they only need to fill up with diesel fuel.

Most of these agricultural vehicles use diesel.

Awesome!

Equipped with deep-groove rubber tires, you can walk like flying even on muddy dirt roads.

"Immediately send it to Jinzhou Vehicle Research Institute to manufacture the vehicle as soon as possible. Standardize the process and then set up a factory in Shenyang for mass production." Li Xiao directly handed the drawing to Xu Ermo, who accompanied him.

This guy is now in charge of the production of cars and airplanes, so leave it to him to make the best.

"No!" Xu Ermo looked at the drawings and immediately began to figure out what kind of design would be needed to make such a thing.

"Commander, our people came up with this thing. You can't leave it to others to do!" Seeing that his credit was wasted, Jiang Dayong immediately ran to Li Xiao and called out to Tianqu.

"It will be good if you finish working on the car, and you are still thinking about the three-wheeled motorcycle. Again, if the output increases twenty-fold in ten years, I will recommend you to be the Minister of Machinery.

You have issued a military order!"

"promise!"

The power of the commander-in-chief is unquestionable, and people of this era are happy to obey power. Just like their parents and ancestors were happy to obey the emperor!

In fact, in their hearts, they regard Li Xiao as the emperor. The only difference is that the current emperor is not called the emperor, but the commander-in-chief.

Juli has been tinkering with it, and Li Xiao is considering whether to get motorcycles too. Especially the three-wheeled sidecar motorcycle, which has a machine gun on it, which is very cool.

The villains in those World War II movies all did this.

But after thinking about it, let it go. Motorcycles are actually not suitable for the army. Especially three-wheeled sidecar motorcycles, which have almost zero protection.

Uh...it seems to be zero!

This thing can't even protect you from wind and rain, which is far worse than an American small Jeep.
