The bike delivery process was very hassle-free.
The foreign envoys were shocked one after another and dared not have any other thoughts at this time.
Although ten thousand taels of silver is indeed a large amount, even most envoys cannot come up with so much silver in a short period of time.
But those envoys firmly believed that as long as they passed the news back, no matter how reluctant the king was, he would definitely send silver and money as soon as possible.
After all, the Tang Dynasty today is no longer what it used to be.
If I anger the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, would it be easy for him to destroy me?
You must know that the story about Master Xuanzang was not just nonsense made up by the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
The story of the little Princess Jinyang meeting a fairy was also spreading widely in Chang'an City.
Especially after these envoys experienced the magic of bicycles themselves, they became even more excited.
Not to mention the symbolic significance of the bicycle, the steel used to make the frame alone is a rare treasure.
Even if the king doesn't like bicycles, doesn't he like fine steel swords?
When you get tired of riding, you can use the frame to forge a sword, which will definitely become a legendary artifact passed down from generation to generation.
Just when many smart guys have realized that bicycle frames are good things, those with even smarter minds have already started to take action.
"Duke Chu, Duke Lu, I'm willing to buy your old bicycle for five thousand taels of silver. What do you think?"
"I am willing to pay six thousand taels, and I ask the two Dukes to give me some."
"I'm willing to pay six thousand one hundred taels..."
"I'm willing to pay six thousand one hundred and ten taels..."
…
Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Gong, who were intercepted by Li Er, were originally depressed.
After all, it was they who proposed the business, but in the end, not only did they not get anything, they even lost their old bicycles.
I originally thought that these foreign envoys who bought new bicycles would definitely look down on their old bicycles, but I didn't expect that someone would bring up the old matter again.
I thought that after a lot of competition, even if it couldn't be sold for 10,000 taels, it would at least fetch 9,000 taels.
Unexpectedly, after someone raised the price by one thousand taels, the rest of the people started raising the price by ten taels at a time.
Not only that, those who raised the price later became more and more hesitant, and those who bid earlier seemed to be thinking of withdrawing.
If this continues, it might end up in nothing.
Cheng Yaojin, who had figured out the key to this, dared not delay any further. After the price was raised by ten taels of silver again in an hour, he agreed without hesitation.
Immediately afterwards, before the foreign envoy who had made the bid could react, a bicycle that made all sorts of noise except for the bell was stuffed into his hands.
Seeing this, Yuchi Gong, who was standing next to him, didn't understand what was going on, but it didn't stop him from doing the same.
So, before many envoys could react, the two old bicycles were successfully sold.
Seeing the two lucky envoys so happy as if they had found a treasure, those who hadn't figured it out couldn't help but mock them. "A new one is only ten thousand taels, but you insisted on buying two old ones. Are you afraid that your king won't find a chance to punish you~"
Faced with the teasing of these slow-reacting guys, the two guys who grabbed the old bicycles didn't say much.
On the other hand, those who wanted to grab something but failed to do so all looked at those mocking people like idiots.
It was not until someone told them that the bicycle frame was made of rare fine iron that those slow-witted people finally understood.
It doesn't seem to be a good deal to spend five thousand taels to buy some fine iron.
But if these fine irons can not only allow two people to ride on them, but also will not be deformed when jumping from a high place, then it would be a great deal.
After all, everyone present had watched the bicycle demonstration video just now.
Everyone knows the quality of the bicycles in the video.
For a moment, those guys were regretting it so much that their intestines were almost turning green.
Li Er didn't take those guys who were eyeing the bicycle frame seriously.
First of all, there are not many of them. Even if they are forged into precious swords, at most they can only become the swords worn by the princes.
Given the narrow-mindedness of those princes, they would definitely not give it as a reward to their generals.
It is also because of this that such a sword will not pose much threat to the Tang Dynasty.
Even if we take a step back and say that such a precious sword really fell into the hands of those foreign generals, the impact on the Tang Dynasty would be minimal.
After all, if a weapon could determine the outcome of a battle, then his position as the Heavenly Khan would be in vain.
Zhou Yu simply ignored these situations.
After emptying the container, he took the little princesses in.
Upon seeing this, Zhang Ananda hurried over to Li Er, who was still twirling his beard to show off.
Hearing the reminder, Li Er quickly turned around.
Seeing Zhou Yu and his daughters all looking at him eagerly, he smiled awkwardly at first, then quickly followed them.
When he arrived at the container, he remembered that he had to bring his followers with him for safety, so he said directly to Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Gong: "Zhijie, Jingde, we are going to Jiangnan now."
Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Gong were originally feeling complacent, thinking that they had finally made a fortune, but when they heard Li Er's shout, they quickly put away their smiles.
But then, the two of them were stunned.
Going to Jiangnan?
And now?
Your Majesty, are you so excited that you have lost your mind because you made hundreds of thousands of taels of silver in one go?
Doesn’t he know what Jiangnan’s situation is now?
Besides, it will take some time for the emperor to go on a long journey out of the palace, right?
My dear, there is more to this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. It will be even more exciting later!
