Li Er was completely unaware of the high value of the bicycle, which directly aroused Li Sheng's great anger.
On the spot, I rolled up my sleeves and told Li Er about the experience of riding a bicycle, but...
During this process, Li Sheng was suddenly startled. Mad... almost said that he had experienced it personally. If he said this, would he be regarded as a time traveler? Stop it quickly... But even though he scared himself, but
Li Sheng still explained the benefits of this bicycle, the first of which is the benefit of cycling as a sport-cycling.
Although cycling is a sport, there is a saying that it is of course done for marketing... but Li Sheng has been out of touch with modern society for too long.
People in modern society often feel confused. Of course there are various factors involved, but one of the major reasons cannot be ignored, which is that people in modern society have too high a degree of freedom.
Whether it is the freedom to express opinions through the Internet and the freedom to poop in anyone’s comment section, or the freedom of movement achieved through extraordinary infrastructure that is so powerful that ancient people could never imagine it,
These are far superior to those of ancient times. But generally speaking... people living in modern times often find it difficult to intuitively feel the sense of freedom these things bring.
But when we really travel to ancient times, the gap becomes clear when we compare it:
There is no mobile phone, no wifi, and no games to play...
At the same time, there is no incomparable infrastructure in the future, and the freedom to go anywhere in the world is just a matter of taking a vacation - although most people don't have that much free time due to various pressures, but if they really want to go
Wherever you go to see the scenery, you actually don’t have to spend that much money. Just like the price of Apple mobile phones in island countries is lower than that in China, but not everyone buys the flagship model. The best-selling ones are still...except for the old models.
, is the ancestral clamshell machine that the island country forcibly produced. After all, the living standards of modern people are still a blow to dimensionality reduction compared to ancient times.
And on the other hand...
Traveling from modern times to ancient times, this gap is immediately reflected. Although it is very simple for Li Sheng to raise horses-but horses are military supplies in China after all. And then again...the current situation of horses in China
In a rather awkward position.
On the one hand, Li Er and others already knew in advance that horses would be eliminated in the future, and the military power of the world in the future would no longer depend on the number of horses, but on other things. On the other hand, even though they knew that horses would be eliminated in the future,
But after all, it hasn’t been eliminated yet——
This also means that Li Er must no longer encourage people to raise horses, and even have to remind people to take this vaccination to prevent people from wanting to do this business of raising horses, but in the future they will lose all their money.
Leading to poverty. Under such a two-pronged attack, Li Er could only suppress the number of horses raised in China on the one hand. After all, raising horses requires a large amount of food... Whether it is the increase in the cost of eating for the people or the difficulty of eating meat.
Elevating is not a good thing.
But at the same time, the imperial court needed to maintain a considerable number of horses, so it could only control private horses as much as possible and prohibit or disguised private ownership of horses. On the one hand, private horses were purchased in large quantities by the Tang Dynasty at a certain price;
And few people raise horses. After all, the imperial court warns you that raising horses may result in losing all your money. No ordinary farmer would dare to raise more horses, so they only raise a little.
In such a big environment, even with Li Sheng's wealth and "skills", it is not easy to get a good horse... What's more, although riding a horse is truly hardcore, it is much less labor-intensive than riding a bicycle.
——After all, the horse is running hard, but if you really think about it, the experience of riding a horse... consumes less of the body, and the "sense of consumption" is actually stronger due to the severe and continuous bumps.
Cyclists in modern society often daydream about the experiences of ancient people riding horses from time to time... and even go to the racecourse to try it out, driven by a high degree of curiosity.
But in reality, the experience is often not that good.
Now for Li Sheng, this is the case. He has been riding a horse for a long time... Of course people who don't know what a bicycle is will not think there is any problem, but Li Sheng is different. Li Sheng really knows how to ride without bumps.
How cool.
This is what Li Sheng, Li Er and others focused on, but Li Er and others sounded more confused...
Not bumpy, this advantage... is also an advantage, but it doesn't seem to be very big.
But just as Li Er was thinking this, Wei Zheng's eyes suddenly lit up and he looked at Li Er and said, "Your Majesty..."
Because of the sudden realization and sudden inspiration, Wei Zheng almost shouted out the word "Your Majesty". He finally stopped the car and said, "Old Li, this bicycle is not bumpy, which is a big plus. Although
This itself seems to have no special significance, but..."
"In the future, our country, the Tang Dynasty, will be replaced by the 'car' that the young master mentioned in the past. In a long time, no one will ride a horse anymore. If the people want to travel by horse, the price of buying a horse must be
Extremely expensive.”
"If this bicycle can be used as a substitute, it will be much more convenient for the people..."
In the history books of later generations, Wei Zheng has always been known as a "strong remonstrator", and he rarely showed any obscene expressions of winking, but when he spoke at this moment, his eyes were staring at Li Er. Obviously, there was something more in his words...
Li Eryi listened.
Looking at Wei Zheng's expression.
My mind went blank for a moment, and I really didn't react.
But then...
Li Er suddenly understood what Wei Zheng meant.
This bicycle may not be so beautiful, it is just for people to travel, but...
Since the people have demand, it means that there is a market for this thing - in other words, as long as it is built, someone will definitely buy it, and considering the vast land of China...
If people want to explore and travel around, how can they not have mounts? But in the future, there will be no need for the imperial army, and horses will probably not be raised. By then, it will be hard to find a horse, and people will come to buy this bicycle one after another, and...
With such huge demand here, one can imagine the profits of this industry...
With this thought, Li Er already understood what Wei Zheng meant - this is a huge profit field!
If you make this bicycle as a business, the money will come rolling in... The key point is that it is small, but if you think about the difficulty in purchasing horses in China in the future, then I am afraid that the people across the country will consider buying this bicycle - and if
The whole country is like this...
That is not an ordinary huge profit, but an astronomical figure!
Now, Li Er finally understood what Li Sheng meant by giving "a few brothers a fortune"...
