Daming: After self-explosive time travel, Lao Zhu's mentality collapsed

"That's it! Look at the head, arms, and legs, they are all covered with a layer of gleaming armor, just like the generals' armor!"

"Is this a new fashion for cycling? My dear, it's getting more and more weird!"

The common people talked about each other, and everyone was surprised.

Yang Cai rode to the center of the crowd and shouted loudly: "Fellow folks, don't guess! This is Wangye's new bicycle protective gear, specially designed to protect the safety of cyclists! With it, you can ride faster and harder. , and you’re not afraid of being dropped!”

"What? There are such rare objects?" The crowd was in an uproar.

Li Xing chimed in, "Of course not! Protect your head, arms, and knees, fully armed, it's easy to get! Let me tell you, this is a brilliant idea that our prince has racked his brains day and night to come up with! You can buy it in a few days!"

"Really or not? Then you have to save some money, and then you can have a set and enjoy it!"

"Oh my god, now I have an extra layer of protection when riding a bike. I guess I can have more fun!"

The people's eyes lit up when they heard this, and they were eager to buy a set of protective gear and try it out right away.

When the test ride was over, the crowd dispersed in twos and threes, talking and making calculations. Everyone was full of expectations for this new thing.

Yang Cai and Li Xing secretly glanced at each other and smiled happily.

"This one is more successful than we expected!" Yang Cai rubbed his hands excitedly and said, "Look at those people, they are all very greedy. I guess when it goes on sale, they will definitely grab a lot of money!"

"That's right!" Li Xing also said proudly: "Just wait, once the protective gear comes on the market, our silver box will no longer be closed!"

In the imperial palace in the capital, Zhu Yuanzhang was reviewing memorials in the imperial study.

Eunuch Wang, the chief eunuch, hurried in and reported with joy: "Your Majesty, Prince Chu Ze has sent several flagship bicycles from Fengyang City, saying that they are specially sent as tribute to you and the prince!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was overjoyed when he heard this. He put down the memorial in his hand and asked with a smile: "Oh? Please come in and have a look!"

The prince hurriedly left, and soon he came in with a few eunuchs carrying four huge wooden frames wrapped in brocade.

The shelves are embroidered with exquisite patterns of auspicious clouds and auspicious patterns, and you can tell at a glance that it is something special.

Zhu Yuanzhang signaled the eunuch to open it, and saw four beautifully carved bicycles lying quietly inside.

The car body is completely black and inlaid with gold and silver threads, shining brightly in the candlelight.

The spokes of the wheel are also made of sterling silver, giving it an air of nobility.

The faucet in front of the car is carved with a lifelike pattern of a flying dragon playing with a pearl.

Even the seat is made of precious rosewood and covered with silk brocade.

"What a guy!" Zhu Yuanzhang exclaimed in amazement: "This bicycle sent by Chu Ze is really exquisitely made! It is more elegant than ordinary carriages!"

He tried to push the wheel, and saw the silver spokes shining brightly in the light, turning so slippery.

"This Chu Ze is thoughtful! He seems to be eager to please me by sending me such a big gift!" Zhu Yuanzhang thought happily.

He ordered the eunuch beside him: "Call the prince and let him come and see this treasure!"

After a while, Prince Zhu Biao ran over sweating profusely.

He was practicing martial arts at the martial arts training ground. When he heard that Chu Ze had sent a tribute gift, he hurried over to watch the fun. "Father, I'm late!" Zhu Biao saluted with clasped fists.

"It's okay, come and take a look at these bicycles sent by Chu Ze!" Zhu Yuanzhang pointed to the rack on the ground with interest.

When Zhu Biao opened the brocade cloth and took a look, he was shocked and couldn't open his mouth from ear to ear.

"Father, this is so exquisite! I have never seen such a rare mount in all my years of life!" He admired sincerely.

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed loudly and said: "Good boy, you have never seen it before, so you can see how precious this thing is! You can also ride one one day and parade through the capital, and you will definitely make those dignitaries jealous!"

"Isn't that a beautiful minister there?" Zhu Biao rubbed his hands excitedly.

The father and son praised each other one by one, praising those bicycles to the heavens and the earth.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded with satisfaction and told the prince: "I will reply to Chu Ze in a moment and tell him that I am very satisfied with his tribute and ask him to keep up his efforts and build more such good cars! I will reward them to Ministers, let them also take advantage of it!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Wang Gonggong hurriedly accepted the order.

On the second day, Zhu Yuanzhang took out those flagship bicycles and showed them to the officials at the court meeting.

He said with high spirits: "My dear friends, come and take a look, this is a new thing sent by Chu Ze! Riding it is faster than riding a horse! And you don't need to feed it, which saves money and trouble!"

After hearing this, the ministers came forward one after another and took a closer look at the strange mounts.

"Your Majesty, this workmanship is so ingenious!" Zhang Yanghao, the Minister of Rites, exclaimed in admiration: "This is the first time in my life that I have seen such a rare object!"

"That's right! I'm afraid the carvings on this car must also use the royal craftsmen, right?" Ma Wensheng, the Minister of Punishment, also expressed his sincere admiration.

"Your Majesty is wise, Prince Chuze is thoughtful! No wonder he has to pay special tribute to such a treasure!" Hu Weiyong, the Minister of Household Affairs, even patted his horse and furrowed his beard.

Zhu Yuanzhang was so happy to be praised by all the ministers!
He said proudly: "That's natural! Chu Ze is loyal and loyal, and I appreciate him very much! I plan to make more of these bicycles and give them to you and other ministers! Let you also ride them to add some pomp and circumstance! "

When the ministers heard this, their eyes suddenly lit up and they were all delighted.

"Your Majesty's holy grace is so great! I am so grateful that I burst into tears!" Zhang Yanghao immediately knelt down and kowtowed.

"With your Majesty's words, even if I encounter a ghost in the middle of the night, I would still dare to patrol the streets on a bicycle!" Ma Wensheng was not to be outdone.

Hu Weiyong whispered from the side: "Hey, when the time comes, I will ride the flagship version through the city in the capital, and that will save me face, hehe!"

All the ministers knelt down and shouted, "Long live my emperor!"
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand to let them level up.

Then, he ordered the eunuch next to him: "Pass on my decree! As Chu Ze speeds up the production of these bicycles and brings them to the capital in a steady stream, I will reward the ministers and let them each have one!"

"Here!" The eunuch took the order and went down.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked around the ministers for another week and said meaningfully: "My dear friends! I think that not only our officials and family members will like new gadgets like bicycles, but ordinary people may also grab their heads!"

The ministers all said yes and there was a lot of discussion.

"Your Majesty is wise! If this bicycle is circulated among the people, it will definitely set off a new trend!" (End of Chapter)
