Chapter 642

The bicycle was launched into the market as planned,

When the heroic Jinyiwei collective changed from riding horses to traveling by bicycle, there was no doubt that it caused a sensation in the market.

Especially when they were swaggering through the market, they still pressed the bell on the handlebar desperately after being ordered by Fang Zhengyi.

The crisp tinkling sound attracted the attention of passers-by.

Meng Weimin was even more skilled. In order to wave to the people conveniently, he was the first to master the advanced skill of holding a handle with one hand...

When bicycles first came out, it was inevitable that they would look weird.

However, since it was a member of the Wei Min family, Jin Yiwei was riding down and no one laughed at him.

The people were amazed and asked each other what it was.

The children screamed excitedly and followed closely behind Jin Yiwei.

There were always children who were too far behind, so Jin Yiwei would thoughtfully put the child in the back seat and send the child home personally.

After this operation, many people became jealous!

It can walk like the wind, and it can also carry people... What on earth is this?

The next day, the doubts in the minds of the people were solved, because the newspaper office was dispatched!

The new edition of the newspaper included a comprehensive introduction to bicycles as planned. At this time, people who read the newspaper were surrounded by water.

Most illiterate people basically rely on newspaper readers to get the latest news in the capital.

Many people live by pointing to this!

I haven't heard anything for a whole day. Do the three aunts and the six wives have the right to speak out?

Newspaper readers were also extremely happy.

Although there are many people on weekdays, there are definitely not as many people as this. I am afraid that the reward today will increase.

The newspaper reader cleared his throat: "Everyone, please be quiet. I know why you are here today, so there is no need to keep it secret."

"Yesterday, the object you rode in the world, Jin Yiwei, was called a bicycle!"

"The car has two wheels at the front and rear, a seat in the middle, a pedal on each side of the front wheel, and a chain. There is a crossbar above the front wheel as an armrest. When a person rides the bicycle, he pedals with both feet, and it moves like flying.

Holding the crossbar with both hands and supporting it with both arms, the speed is as fast as a carriage." "Juqu Pavilion"

The people were amazed.

"So it's called a bicycle! I think this thing can save a lot of effort. It's a good thing!"

"Yes, I can still take care of the children and buy groceries."

"Where can I buy one? I also want to buy one and try it."

"What are you thinking about? That's the stuff of the Jinyi Guards. You can't buy it for more than a few taels. You can't afford it. You can't afford it."

Seeing the discussion below starting to take care of itself, the reader's rhythm was disrupted and he shouted loudly: "Don't be anxious! Don't be anxious! I haven't finished speaking yet!"

“In addition to transportation, bicycles also have the effect of exercising and maintaining health!”

"This bike was made in Taoyuan County. Starting today, experience points have been opened in various cities in the capital! Those who want to ride it can go to the nearest experience point to try it for free."

"Why didn't you say how much it sold for?" Some people shouted.

"I don't know. It didn't mention it in the newspaper. Someone should talk about it at the experience point. Can you just go there and ask?" a newspaper reader said.

"Let's go! Let's go! Go on a bicycle!" The people dispersed with a roar.

Only a sparse piece of copper plate was left in place.

The newspaper reader was about to continue reading, but when he saw everyone running away, he hurriedly shouted: "Hey! I haven't finished yet! Come back quickly!"

"Tomorrow there will be a wedding in the capital, and the Jin Yiwei will personally deliver the congratulatory gifts! It is said that the first one will be delivered by Meng Weimin himself! The address is in our house! It is in our house..."

...

The publicity campaign on this day was very fierce, and almost everyone in the city was talking about bicycles.

Within the Zhenfu Division.

The news fell into Fang Zhengyi's hands like snow flakes.

After reading about ten messages, he felt tired of them and threw them aside.

Li Yuanzhao was still looking at the various good news in high spirits. When he saw that he was bored, he asked: "Old Fang, why don't you read it? It seems like this product will not sell enough as you said!"

"Hey, that's right! But I can't stand it any longer. He lost before I even exerted my strength. I've already won, so I'll watch it later."

"You're numb even before we win. Are you so sure?" Li Yuanzhao asked.

"Don't let the small ones get away with it. The Jinyiwei, reporters, health team, and Fenghuo Gang are all our people. How can the Ministry of Industry play with us?"

"In addition to Jinyiwei, the second batch of bicycles has been distributed to reporters and the health team, Fenghuo Gang, so that they can increase their publicity."

Fang Zhengyi smiled slightly: "These are nothing, just some small tricks, I still have some good things!"

"What good stuff?"

"Your Highness, come with me." After saying that, Fang Zheng got up and left his seat and walked outside to the warehouse.

Order the person in charge of the warehouse to open the door.

Three things suddenly appeared at the door!

Li Yuanzhao looked at it suspiciously. It was also made of wood and had wheels, and then asked: "This is also...a bicycle?"

Fang Zheng stretched out his hand and pointed: "Well, this one is called a tricycle, and that one is called riding a donkey backwards!"

"These two are the most useful for pulling goods. There are many hardworking people who don't have money to use livestock. With it, you can make more money."

"What's the difference between this and the other?"

"Well, there's not much difference. Just one more choice."

Li Yuanzhao took a step forward and sat on the donkey that was riding backwards.

Lifting his chin towards the side of the car, Fang Zhengyi followed and sat in.

Li Yuanzhao was very happy about this ride: "Why doesn't Taoyuan County use such a good thing?"

"Who in our county does this kind of hard work? At the end of the day, I'm a mule at home."

"...."

Li Yuanzhao rode two more laps and said happily: "It's really good. It saves effort and can load a lot more cargo! But there is a problem here, Lao Fang."

"You made an agreement with the Ministry of Industry before that each of you would provide one thing. Now you have three things. You can't convince everyone."

Fang Zheng smiled and said, "That's natural."

"But people will have great demand for this thing! We can use tricycles as a bait. Only people who buy bicycles are eligible to buy tricycles. At this stage, they are only displayed at experience points. After the matter with the Ministry of Industry is over, they will be sold to the world.

."

"How much does it cost?" Li Yuanzhao asked.

"A bicycle is five cents a piece and a tricycle is seven cents a piece."

Li Yuanzhao frowned slightly: "The two items add up to one or two yuan. Although it is not much, I'm afraid the pressure from the people is quite great."

"The tricycle can be paid in installments. Just cooperate with Jin Yiwei and keep records."

Li Yuanzhao nodded: "Yeah, yeah! This is a good idea, although it is a bit troublesome."

"But what is that weird thing you have at the end, it's colorful? Why is it still flat with a wheel on it?"

Fang Zheng looked back at the warehouse and explained: "This is amazing! This is the real bicycle, but it has another name!"

"Huh? What's that called?"

"Twist the car, Your Highness, sit on it and try it. Turn the wheel on it and it will go by itself."

After hearing this, Li Yuanzhao got on the twist car without hesitation, and after a twist, he left!

"It's a bit fun, but it seems useless!"

"It's fun, that's all. I'm going to take it to a trial point for display, but I won't sell it." Fang Zheng said.

"Why don't you sell it? I think many children will like it, and it doesn't look very complicated."

Selling? I never played it when I was a kid, why should I sell it?

Fang Zhengyi said nothing and showed a sweet smile...
