The bicycle was launched into the market as planned,
When the heroic Jinyiwei collective changed from riding horses to traveling by bicycle, there was no doubt that it caused a sensation in the market.
Especially when they were swaggering through the market, they still pressed the bell on the handlebar desperately after being ordered by Fang Zhengyi.
The crisp tinkling sound attracted the attention of passers-by.
Meng Weimin was even more skilled. In order to wave to the people conveniently, he was the first to master the advanced skill of holding a handle with one hand...
When bicycles first came out, it was inevitable that they would look weird.
However, since it was a member of the Wei Min family, Jin Yiwei was riding down and no one laughed at him.
The people were amazed and asked each other what it was.
The children screamed excitedly and followed closely behind Jin Yiwei.
There were always children who were too far behind, so Jin Yiwei would thoughtfully put the child in the back seat and send the child home personally.
After this operation, many people became jealous!
It can walk like the wind, and it can also carry people... What on earth is this?
The next day, the doubts in the minds of the people were solved, because the newspaper office was dispatched!
The new edition of the newspaper included a comprehensive introduction to bicycles as planned. At this time, people who read the newspaper were surrounded by water.
Most illiterate people basically rely on newspaper readers to get the latest news in the capital.
Many people live by pointing to this!
I haven’t heard anything for a whole day. Do the three aunts and the six wives have the right to speak out?
Newspaper readers were also extremely happy.
Although there are many people on weekdays, there are definitely not as many people as this. The reward today is probably going to increase.
The newspaper reader cleared his throat: "Everyone, please be quiet. I know why you are here today, so there is no need to keep it secret."
"Yesterday, the object you rode in the world, Jin Yiwei, was called a bicycle!"
"The car has two wheels at the front and rear, a seat in the middle, a pedal on each side of the front wheel, and a chain. There is a crossbar above the front wheel as an armrest. When a person rides the bicycle, he pedals with both feet and runs like flying. Holding the crossbar with both hands and raising both arms, 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, I can still take care of the children and buy groceries."
"Where can I buy one? I also want to buy one and try it."
"What are you thinking about! That's the stuff of the Jinyi Guards. You can't buy it for more than a few taels? You can't afford it. You can't afford it."
Seeing the discussion below starting to take care of itself, the reader's rhythm was disrupted and he hurriedly shouted: "Don't be anxious! Don't be anxious! I haven't finished speaking yet!"
“In addition to transportation, bicycles also have the effect of exercising and maintaining health!”
"This bike was made in Taoyuan County. Starting today, experience points have been opened in various cities in the capital! Those who want to ride it can go to the nearest experience point to try it for free."
"Why didn't you say how much it sold for?" Some people shouted.
"I don't know. It didn't mention it in the newspaper. Someone should talk about it at the experience point. Can you just go there and ask?" the newspaper reader said.
"Let's go! Let's go! Go on a bicycle!" The people dispersed.
Only a sparse piece of copper plate was left in place.
The newspaper reader was about to continue reading, but when he saw everyone running away, he hurriedly shouted: "Hey! I haven't finished yet! Come back quickly!"
"Tomorrow there will be a wedding in the capital, and the Jin Yiwei will personally deliver the congratulatory gifts! It is said that the first one will be delivered by Meng Weimin himself! The address is in our house! Just in our house..."
...
The publicity campaign on this day was fierce, and almost everyone in the city was talking about bicycles.
Within the Zhenfu Division.
The news rushed into Fang Zhengyi's hands like snow flakes.
After reading about ten messages, he felt tired of them and threw them aside.
Li Yuanzhao was still looking at the various good news in high spirits. Seeing that he was bored, he asked: "Lao Fang, why don't you read it? It seems like this product will not sell enough as you said!"
"Hey, that's right! But I can't stand it any longer. He lost before I even exerted my strength. I've already won. Let's watch it later."
"You're numb before we win. Are you so sure?" Li Yuanzhao asked.
"Don't win by taking advantage of the small. The Jinyiwei, reporters, health team, and Fenghuo Gang are all our people. How can the Ministry of Industry play with us?"
"In addition to Jin Yiwei, the second batch of bicycles has been given to reporters and the health team Fenghuo Gang has distributed it to them to increase publicity."
Fang Zhengyi smiled slightly: "These are nothing, just some small tricks, I still have some good things!"
"What good stuff?"
"Your Highness, come with me." With that said, Fang Zheng got up and left his seat and walked outside to the warehouse.
Order the person in charge of 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, and then asked: "This is also...a bicycle?"
Fang Zheng stretched out his hand and pointed: "Well, this one is called a tricycle, and that one is called riding a donkey backwards!"
The tricycle is one of the original means of transportation invented by Fang Zhengyi, the father of the courier.
