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

"How about our county government get a dozen or so vehicles first? Hey, it will look good on our faces and it will be convenient for our work. Why not?"

"That's necessary! I'm going to ask someone to order it from Fengyang. I have to get a few of these bicycles!"

For a time, these country gentlemen were vying to show off the bicycles they got from Fengyang, and they wanted to ride them through the city every day.

And those who didn't get it were even more envious and jealous, wishing to dig a hole in Fengyang City and empty Chu Ze's treasury.

The news spread more and more widely, and even the people began to feel itchy.

"Hey, I heard that this bicycle is fast and stable. It can cover dozens of miles on one ride!"

"That's it! The prince invented it, how can it be any worse? You don't have to eat grass, which saves money and trouble!"

"Hey, I wonder when we can ride for a ride? It would be really beautiful!"

"What a beautiful idea! With our little possessions, we can't even touch the car door!"

After a wry smile, a few smart people started to make calculations.

"Never mind it! Let's go to Fengyang first and ask around. Maybe we can actually get a few of them and set up a shop to rent out bicycles! We can make a lot of money by keeping them!"

"Yes, yes! Even if you can't ride it yourself, you can let others ride it and earn some rent from them, which will be very satisfying!"

"Let's go! Let's leave now! It's better to go early!"

...

In this way, the bicycle craze was like a fire, burning vigorously throughout the Ming Dynasty.

Regardless of whether they are powerful gentry or traffickers and pawns, everyone is coveting this big treasure and can't wait to get it right away.

In the palace of Fengyang City, Chu Ze was holding a mountain of orders and thinking happily.

He counted the numbers on it one by one, secretly feeling happy in his heart.

"Hahaha, all these powerful people and local officials are here to curry favor with me! Hehe, this money is enough for us to expand our production several times!"

He thought again of the imperial edict given by His Majesty, and felt even more satisfied.

"This king is relying on this treasure to show off his talents! With the support of the imperial edict and the support of these big shots, the bicycle will surely become the new favorite of the whole country!"

While Chu Ze was holding the imperial edict excitedly, feeling complacent that he would soon become the center of attention in this land, his subordinates were already very busy.

"Li Xing! This red and blue helmet is so beautiful!" Yang Cai picked up a piece of protective gear and shouted excitedly: "This is definitely a beautiful match with the red bicycle!"

"Isn't that right!" Li Xing also danced and said, "Wearing it will make you look heroic! Those young men from aristocratic families will definitely like it!"

"The prince indeed has another clever plan. Now he not only sells cars, but also sells protective gear. He kills two birds with one stone!" Yang Cai said with emotion.

"Just wait and see, it won't be long before there will be riders wearing colorful protective gear everywhere in the capital and throughout the Ming Dynasty." Li Xing's eyes were full of longing.

The grand scene has emerged in their minds: the streets and alleys are full of people riding bicycles, wearing bright helmets on their heads, and their hands and feet are wrapped in brand-new protective gear. Looking from a distance, it looks like everyone is riding a bicycle. BMW, knight in armor.

...

Two days later, the East Street of Fengyang City was decorated with lanterns and colorful and crowded with people.

It turns out that the government and dealers are preparing to officially start selling bicycle protective gear, and many people are waiting eagerly on the streets.

"Oh, we've waited a long time! I've been looking forward to this day for a long time!" said a wealthy businessman gearing up.

"That's right! If you don't wear this outfit, you can't hold your head up on the street!" Another young businessman agreed.

At the end of the street, Chu Ze, Yang Cai, and Li Xing were riding a brand-new bicycle, approaching him. The two of them were wearing a full set of colorful protective gear.

The helmet was shining with golden light, reflecting a pair of piercing eyes.

Elbow pads, knee pads, and palm pads are in sapphire blue, red, and emerald green, unpredictable and as bright as stars.

He rode along with murderous intent, attracting countless envious glances.

"Wow! Prince Chuze is so majestic. He is the first to put on a full suit. If it weren't for the imperial edict to protect his body, he would have been overwhelmed by this aura!" Someone in the crowd exclaimed.

"That's right, riding a bike is already a status symbol. If you wear protective gear, you will look like a god!"

Chu Ze and his group rode to the front of the store, got off the car, and took off their helmets in a cool manner.

"Everyone, the protective gear that you have been dreaming about is on sale here today! Feel free to choose, and I guarantee that everyone will be able to return home with a full load!" He waved his hand generously.

The crowd rushed forward and rushed into the store.

"I like the one with the purple flame pattern, take it!"

"Give me that golden lion head helmet quickly, money is not an issue!"

The store was in chaos for a while, and several male servants were busy, as if they were at war.

It is comparable to the uncles and aunties of later generations who went to supermarkets to grab pork at special prices.

In fact, the materials of the protective gear are nothing more than those, but the children of the aristocratic families enjoy it.

"Look, this is the new orange-red tiger stripe that came out yesterday. It has the style of a prairie cavalry!" The eldest young master of the Cheng family proudly rode his bicycle and showed off in the city wearing a full set of protective gear.

"Hey, what are you talking about? Look at my outfit, with a navy blue background and inlaid with mother-of-pearl. It's low-key and luxurious, not as flamboyant as yours!" Second Young Master Jiang of the Jiang family was not to be outdone.

"Hey, you two, are you too tacky?" came a thin voice.

Everyone turned around and saw that it was the third young lady of the Ding family. She was wearing pink protective gear and looked pretty and pretty.

"Little girl, I am dressed in cherry blossom pink with white flowing cloud patterns. It is fresh and refined. What do you men know?" She raised her little face proudly.

The young master of other families was dumbfounded and thought to himself: "Hey, even the female family members are here to steal the spotlight!"

...

Unknowingly, bicycle protective gear has become a fashion in Fengyang City and a status symbol.

Young men and young ladies, if they are not well-dressed, they are too embarrassed to go out, for fear that others will look down upon them.

They even began to compete to see whose protective gear had the most unique colors and the most exquisite patterns.

"Fourth brother! Why are you still wearing red and green? You're so vulgar!" The young man glanced at the people around him with disdain.

"Hey! What do you know? This is called retro style! It is said to be a reference to the colors of the Tang Dynasty!" The one who was disliked retorted unconvincingly.

"Come on! When it comes to retro, my bronze set is more authentic! Do you understand the etched dark patterns?" Another young man sneered.

Several people started arguing again, and no one was convinced.

At this time, a young man wearing a purple and gold helmet passed by leisurely on a black and red sports bike.

"Tch! You are all lagging behind! The latest release is the supreme limited edition designed by Prince Chu himself. It is said that only the royal family can own it! You guys are so weak!" He said with disdain and left gracefully. (End of chapter)
