He immediately ordered official Jia Shang to record these orders, and then said: "Send someone to the warehouse to carefully count and inventory, and take out more than a hundred vehicles first, and use the rest according to your ability. The regular version has more Give me more, and give less for the sports version. As for the flagship version, the quantity is too small and it is not available for ordering!”

Jia Shang hurriedly agreed and left.

Chu Ze stood up and spoke generously to the merchants: "Everyone, I will do my best to satisfy your orders. For now, you can take some cars back and put them on the shop floor so that those people can take a look. "

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" All the merchants were overjoyed and bowed to express their thanks.

"By the way, I have one more thing to ask of you." Chu Ze changed the topic and said seriously: "Nowadays, the popularity of bicycles in Fengyang City has risen. But other places may not know about this rare object yet! Everyone You are smart and well-connected, why don't you spread the news for me and let people in other states know about it?"

When the businessmen heard this, their eyes suddenly lit up.

This is a great thing!

This makes it easier for us to sell the car elsewhere.

"Your Majesty is wise!" They agreed hurriedly: "Young men, please tell your subordinates to spread the news! I guarantee that in a few days, the news will spread to all directions!"

Chu Ze nodded with satisfaction and waved them away.

After the businessmen left, Chu Ze rubbed his hands in joy and said to himself cheerfully: "Haha, it's true! With the help of these profiteers, our bicycle business will only become more and more prosperous! When there are more orders, we will have to expand production and recruit more workers!”

He then ordered Yang Cai: "Mr. Yang, please go to the city and put up a notice saying that our government is recruiting large-scale workers again, with generous salaries and food and housing! Let all those handy idlers sign up, don't let them They do nothing and bring instability to society.”

Yang Cai slapped his thigh and shouted, "Your Majesty is wise!"

Chu Ze said with a proud smile: "I invented this bicycle to make it a household name throughout the country! By then, the word 'bicycle' will be resounding in the sky and will be famous forever! Hahahaha!"

At this time, Chu Ze was rejoicing about the bright future of bicycles. The news of bicycles had already spread to surrounding states without the help of Fengyang merchants.

Many big businessmen in other cities also heard that Fengyang had a new magical item. They were all itchy and wanted to fly over to buy it.

Within three days, a group of businessmen came to see me, holding large sums of money to order this magical bicycle.

"See you, Your Majesty! My master came all the way from Huaining. I heard that Your Majesty has invented a great means of transportation, and I want to order a hundred of them back home. I wonder if Your Majesty can agree?"

"I am a businessman from Jingxian County. I have admired the reputation of Your Majesty for a long time! My subordinates came back from Fengyang yesterday and said that the bicycle invented by Your Majesty is very good! I want to buy fifty of them. What do you think, Your Majesty?"

The stewards who came from afar to flatter Chu Ze and bowed repeatedly made the scene lively.

Chu Ze sat on the throne, nodded slightly, with a proud look on his face.

"Haha, I am deeply honored that you all have come from afar!" He put on a magnanimous look and said: "Since you come here sincerely, why should I not be unreasonable? It's just that this car's The supply of goods cannot meet your huge demand for the time being!”

When all the stewards heard this, their faces immediately showed panic, and they hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, you are aware that we are not greedy people. We will be satisfied if we can carry a dozen or so cars back! Please grant me your permission!"

Chu Ze pretended to think about it, pondered for a moment, and then said slowly: "Well, since you are so sincere, I will make an exception and be accommodating. Each family will be given twenty cars, and they will be put on display first when they go back, and they can be used as early adopters! "

"Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you, Your Majesty!" Upon hearing this, all the stewards were overjoyed and kowtowed their thanks.

Chu Ze was very happy and thought to himself: "It seems that the reputation of this bicycle has become so popular! Businessmen from nearby cities are coming here because of its reputation. It seems that they want to make it into a Ming artifact, which is just around the corner!" He immediately ordered official Jia Shang to go to the warehouse to take stock of the goods so that he could serve these merchants from afar.

He also asked his subordinates to spread the news everywhere, saying that the palace welcomes visitors from all directions, and rushed to order bicycles, which created a lively atmosphere.

At the same time, recruitment notices have been posted, and as expected, many people came to sign up.

Just ten days later, there were more and more bicycles on the streets of Fengyang. Brand-new bicycles were passing by, attracting countless passers-by to stop and watch.

I saw those cyclists holding their heads proudly, looking like nouveau riche.

"Haha, my family is one of the first to buy a bicycle!" A middle-aged man proudly showed off to others.

"Riding a car is like taking a nap! Going to the street to buy groceries can be done in as little time as taking a cigarette!"

"Isn't that right!" A tall and thin man answered: "Since I got this baby bump, my tailoring job has become much easier! I just ride in the car and come to measure the clothes. The efficiency is amazing!"

The passers-by on the side couldn't hide the envy in their eyes after hearing this.

"Oh, people have bicycles, and when they go out, it's like they have wings. But we have to walk through the streets!"

"That's right! Look at the way they ride. It's nothing like us. We have to carry our feet wherever we go, one step at a time!"

"How can this be done? If you don't have money to buy a car, you might as well go home and feed the pigs!"

In front of a grocery store, several housewives were gathering together, chattering.

"Hey, have you heard? The Wang family's wife bought a new bicycle at home!"

"Ah? Is that the wife of the Wang family who loves to show off all day long? Can her family afford it?"

"No way! I heard that I spent six taels of silver, not a penny less! I'm so proud when I go out on a bicycle now!"

"Oh, let me go, six taels of silver! It's enough for my family's expenses for half a year! Then why are you willing to spend so much money?"

"Who says it's not the case! However, when you go out with a car, you have both dignity and respect. Look at this street, do people without a car still have the dignity to meet people?"

The ladies talked about the bicycle all over the place.

They were envious, but there was nothing they could do.

"That's all, let's go back to weaving! Save up your money and try to buy one as soon as possible!"

In the teahouse on the corner of the street, several old men were holding tea bowls and chatting leisurely.

"Hey, Lao Li, I heard that your boy got on a bicycle?" (End of Chapter)
