Fang Zhengji transmigrated to the Great Jing Dynasty, becoming a small county magistrate. He spent seven years building his own secluded paradise, originally intending to live a carefree life as a ...
The bicycles were launched on the market as planned.
When the heroic Jinyiwei collectively changed from riding horses to traveling by bicycle, it undoubtedly caused a sensation in the market.
Especially when they were parading through the streets, they had to press the bell on the handlebars desperately under Fang Zhengyi's orders.
The crisp jingling sound attracted the attention of passers-by.
Meng Weimin is even more skilled. In order to be able to wave to the people conveniently, he was the first to master the advanced technique of holding the handle with one hand....
When bicycles first came out, it was inevitable that they would look weird.
However, since the Jinyiwei were related to Wei Min's family, no one laughed at them.
The people were amazed and asked each other what it was.
The children screamed excitedly and followed closely behind the Jinyiwei.
There were always children who ran too far, so the Jinyiwei would considerately put the children in the back seat and personally send them home.
After this operation, many people are jealous!
It moves like the wind and can carry people...What on earth is this thing?
The next day, the people's doubts were resolved because the newspaper office took action!
The new edition of the newspaper included a comprehensive introduction to bicycles as planned, and the readers were surrounded by a crowd of people.
Most illiterate people basically rely on newspaper readers to get the latest news from the capital.
Many people depend on this to live!
If I haven't heard anything for a whole day, do the gossipy ladies still have the right to speak for themselves?
The newspaper readers were also particularly delighted.
Although there are many people on weekdays, it is definitely not as many as this. I'm afraid the reward money will increase today.
The newspaper reader cleared his throat and said, "Please be quiet, everyone. I know why you are here today, so I won't keep you in suspense."
"The object you Jinyiwei rode yesterday was called a bicycle!"
"The bike has two wheels, front and back, with a seat in the middle. There is a pedal on each side of the front wheel, and a chain. There is a crossbar above the front wheel as a handrail. People ride on the bike, pedaling with their feet, and it moves very fast. They hold the crossbar with their hands and use their arms to support themselves, and the bike moves as fast as a horse-drawn carriage."
The people were amazed.
"So it's called a bicycle! I think this thing can save a lot of energy, it's a good thing!"
"Yeah, I can also take care of the kids and buy groceries."
"Where can I buy one? I want to buy one and try it out."
"What are you thinking! That's something the Jinyiwei cavalry owns. It would cost at least a few taels to buy it. I can't afford it."
Seeing that everyone below was discussing among themselves, the reader's rhythm was disrupted, and he shouted loudly: "Don't be impatient! Don't be impatient! I haven't finished yet!"
"In addition to being a means of transportation, bicycles can also be used for exercise and health preservation!"
"This car was made in Taoyuan County. Starting today, it has been opened in various towns and cities in the capital! Anyone who wants to ride it can go to the nearest experience point to experience it for free."
"Why didn't you tell us how much it's selling for?" someone shouted.
"I don't know. The newspaper didn't mention it either. Someone should be able to tell you about it at the experience point. Can't you just go there and ask?" said the newspaper reader.
"Let's go! Let's go! Let's go ride our bikes!" The people dispersed.
Only a few scattered copper coins were left.
The newspaper reader was about to continue reading when he saw everyone running away. He hurriedly shouted, "Hey! I haven't finished yet! Come back!"
"Tomorrow, if there is a wedding in the capital, the Jinyiwei will personally deliver the gifts! It is said that the first one will be delivered by Meng Weimin himself! The address is right here in this neighborhood! Right here in this neighborhood..."
......
The publicity campaign was very intense that day, and almost all the people in the city were talking about bicycles.
Inside the Pacification Division.
News poured into Fang Zheng's hands like snowflakes.
After reading a dozen messages, he got bored and threw them aside.
Li Yuanzhao was still looking at the various good news with great energy. Seeing his bored look, he asked, "Lao Fang, why aren't you reading? It looks like you said the goods won't be enough to sell!"
"Oh, that's right! But I can't bear to watch it anymore. He lost before I even started to exert any strength. I'm already numb from winning. Let's watch it later."
"You're numb before you even win. Are you so sure?" Li Yuanzhao asked.
"Don't be too cautious about winning a small victory. Jinyiwei, reporters, medical team, Fenghuo Gang, all units are our people, how can the Ministry of Industry play tricks on us?"
"In addition to the Royal Guards, the second batch of bicycles has been given to the reporters and the Fenghuo Gang of the Medical Team, asking them to step up their publicity efforts."
Fang Zhengyi smiled slightly: "These are nothing, just some small tricks, I still have something good!"
"What good stuff?"
"Your Highness, follow me." Fang Zheng stood up from his seat and walked outside to the warehouse.
Order the person guarding the warehouse to open the door.
Three things suddenly appeared at the door!
Li Yuanzhao looked at it suspiciously. It was also made of wood and had wheels, so he asked, "Is this also... a bicycle?"
Fang Zheng pointed and said, "Hey, this one is called a tricycle, and that one is called a donkey riding backwards!"
The tricycle, according to archaeological evidence, is one of the original means of transportation invented by Fang Zhengyi, the father of couriers.
Riding a donkey backwards, a reverse three-wheeled vehicle, is common in the Northeast. It has better steering control and can prevent goods from being lost when traveling in the streets and alleys. It can be called an ultra three-wheeled vehicle.
"These two are most useful for hauling goods. There are many people who do hard labor but don't have the money to use livestock. With these, they can earn more money."
"Is there any difference between the positive and negative?"
"Well, it doesn't make much difference. It's just one more choice."
Li Yuanzhao took a step forward and sat on the donkey.
He raised his chin towards the truck bed and Fang Zhengyi got in.
