Royal Gold Medal County Magistrate

The bicycles began to be launched into the market according to plan.

When the heroic Jinyi Guards collectively switched from riding horses to riding bicycles, it undoubtedly caused a sensation in the market.

Especially when parading through the streets, they had to desperately press the bell on the handlebars under Fang Zheng Yi's orders.

The crisp ringing sound attracted the attention of passersby.

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

When bicycles first appeared, it was inevitable that they looked strange.

However, because it was the Jinyi Guards, who were close to the people, riding them, no one laughed.

The people marveled and asked each other what exactly it was.

Children were excitedly shouting and chasing after the Jinyi Guards.

When some children chased too far, the Jinyi Guards thoughtfully put the children on the back seat and personally sent them home.

After this operation, many people became envious!

Moving like the wind and able to carry people... what exactly is this thing?

The next day, the doubts in the people's hearts were dispelled because the newspaper office was mobilized!

The new edition of the newspaper added a comprehensive introduction to bicycles according to the plan. At this time, the reader was surrounded by a crowd of people.

Most illiterate people basically relied on the reader to obtain the latest news from the capital.

Many people depended on this to live!

If they missed hearing it for a day, how could the gossiping relatives have a chance to speak?

The reader was also very happy.

Although there were many people on weekdays, there were definitely not as many as today. The reward money today would probably increase.

The reader cleared his throat: "Everyone, please be quiet. I know why you are here today, so I won't keep you in suspense."

"The object that the Jinyi Guards were riding on the market yesterday is called a bicycle!"

"The bicycle has two wheels, front and rear, with a seat in the middle. There is a pedal on each side of the front wheel, and there is also a chain. Above the front wheel, there is a crossbar as a handrail. When a person rides the bicycle, his feet pedal, and it runs like flying. The hands hold the crossbar, and the arms support it, and the speed is as fast as a carriage."

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, it can also carry children and buy groceries."

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

"What are you thinking! That's something that the Jinyi Guards ride. To buy it, it must cost at least a few taels, right? Can't afford it, can't afford it."

Seeing the discussion below, the reader's rhythm was disrupted, and he quickly shouted loudly: "Don't worry! Don't worry! I haven't finished speaking yet!"

"In addition to being a means of transportation, bicycles also have the effect of exercising and maintaining health!"

"This bicycle is made in Taoyuan County. Starting today, experience points have been opened in various neighborhoods and markets in the capital! Those who want to ride can go to the nearest experience point for a free experience."

"How much does it cost? Why didn't you say it!" A commoner shouted.

"I don't know. The newspaper didn't say it either. Someone at the experience point should tell you, right? Why don't you go there and ask?" The reader said.

"Let's go! Let's go! Let's go ride a bicycle!" The people dispersed with a bang.

Only a sparse pile of copper coins was left in place.

The reader was still preparing to continue reading, but seeing that everyone had run away, he hurriedly shouted: "Hey! I haven't finished yet! Come back!"

"Tomorrow, the Jinyi Guards will personally deliver congratulatory gifts to families in the capital who are getting married! It is said that the first one will be delivered by Meng Weimin himself! The address is in this neighborhood! It's in this neighborhood..."

......

The publicity campaign on this day was very strong, and almost all the people in the city were discussing bicycles.

Inside the Zhenfu Division.

News gathered frantically in Fang Zheng Yi's hands like snowflakes.

After reading a dozen or so messages, he felt bored and casually threw them aside.

Li Yuanzhao was still looking at the various good news with great interest. Seeing his bored look, he asked: "Old Fang, why aren't you reading? It looks like the goods will really not be enough to sell as you said!"

"Hey, that's right! However, I can't stand to watch it anymore. He lost before I even exerted my strength. I've already won so much. I'll look at it later."

"You're already numb before you've won? Are you so sure?" Li Yuanzhao asked.

"Don't underestimate a small win. The Jinyi Guards, reporters, sanitation team, and Fenghuo Gang are all our people. How can the Ministry of Works play with us?"

"In addition to the Jinyi Guards, the second batch of bicycles has been distributed to reporters, the sanitation team, and the Fenghuo Gang. Let them increase their publicity efforts."

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

"What good things?"

"Your Highness, follow me." Saying that, Fang Zheng Yi got up from his seat and walked to the warehouse outside.

He ordered the person in charge of the warehouse to open the door.

Three things appeared at the door!

Li Yuanzhao looked at them suspiciously. They were also made of wood and had wheels, so he asked: "This is also... a bicycle?"

Fang Zheng Yi pointed with his hand: "Well, this is called a tricycle, and that is called a donkey cart!"

Tricycle, according to archeology, is one of the original means of transportation invented by Fang Zheng Yi, the father of express delivery.

Donkey cart, reverse tricycle, common in the Northeast. The direction is better controlled, and it can prevent the loss of goods when traveling through the streets and alleys. It can be called tricycle ultra.

"These two are best used for pulling goods. How many poor people don't have money to use livestock? With it, they can earn more money."

"Is there any difference between this positive and negative?"

"Uh, there's not much difference, just one more choice."

Li Yuanzhao took a step forward and sat on the donkey cart.

He raised his chin at the cart, and Fang Zheng Yi followed and sat in.

Once he rode it, Li Yuanzhao was happy: "Why doesn't Taoyuan County use such a good thing?"

"Who does this hard work in our county? At the very least, their families have mules."

"......."

Li Yuanzhao rode around twice and said happily: "It's really good, saves effort, and can hold a lot more goods! But there's a problem here, Old Fang."

"You agreed with the Ministry of Works before that each of you would produce one thing, but this counts as three things for you, which will not convince the public."

Fang Zheng Yi smiled and said: "That's natural."

"However, the people will have a great demand for this thing! We can use the tricycle as bait. Only those who buy bicycles are eligible to buy tricycles. At this stage, it is only displayed at the experience point. After the matter with the Ministry of Works is over, it will be sold on the market."

"Then how much does it sell for?" Li Yuanzhao asked.

"Bicycles are five qian each, and tricycles are seven qian each."

Li Yuanzhao frowned slightly: "One tael and two qian for both together. Although it's not much, I'm afraid the people will be under a lot of pressure."

"Tricycles can be paid in installments. At that time, cooperate with the Jinyi Guards and keep good records."

Li Yuanzhao nodded: "Um, um, um! This is a good way, although it's a bit troublesome."

"But what is that strange thing at the end, colorful? Why is it flat and has a wheel on it?"

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

"Um? What's it called?"

"Wiggle car. Your Highness, sit on it and try it. It will walk by itself if you twist the wheel on it."

Hearing this, Li Yuanzhao sat on the wiggle car without hesitation. When he twisted it, it really walked!

"It's a little fun, this thing, but it doesn't seem to be very useful!"

"It's fun, right? It's good to be fun. I plan to take it to the experience point for display, but I won't sell it," Fang Zheng Yi said.

"Why don't you sell it? I guess a lot of children will like it, and it doesn't seem to be very complicated."

Sell it? I didn't even play with it when I was a kid, why should I sell it!

Fang Zheng Yi didn't speak, and showed a mysterious smile...

Fang Zheng Yi, who lacked childhood, attempted to launch a brutal revenge on the alien children through toys to seek psychological comfort.
