There are a few brave boys among the villagers who have already touched it.
"County Master, this wooden horse is much easier to use than a horse. It doesn't need to eat grass. Doesn't it mean that as long as you have the strength to ride, you can ride as far as you want?"
"That's right, it's just that the mountain road won't work. It's too bumpy. It would be possible on official roads and in the city."
The entire body of the bicycle is made of a kind of rattan. There are many of these rattans deep in the mountains. When they grow, they are as thick as a child's arm and are both soft and hard.
When she chose it, it was also because rattan is light and not as heavy as wood. She thought about using rubber tree rubber to wrap it on the wheel to reduce the vibration. However, she asked many people who had almost rotten their books, and none of them had such a crop. It seemed that rubber was not available. Da Zhou is not there yet, so she can only give up and make some twists and turns.
Only the brakes and the chain, some important parts of the entire car, are made of iron.
The most important thing is that Dazhou has extremely strict control over iron. Her family can get so much iron because her family is now a member of the royal family. Otherwise, she would not be able to get so much iron.
Of course, if this was applied to other members of the royal family, the emperor might still be suspicious, but when it was applied to Zhou Yu's family, the emperor didn't think much about it. When the Ministry of War reported to the emperor, the emperor approved it without even asking about the purpose. .
"Dad, shall I teach you how to ride?"
Zhou Bang was standing nearby, but after hearing Zhou Yu's words, he stepped forward to get closer.
"Dad, support me like this."
Zhou Yu stepped away and gave up her position to her father.
Zhou Bang felt that it was so novel. He had never felt like this before.
"Yin Jian, come here and help my father hold him up. Don't let the wooden horse fall to the left and right."
"Dad, just step on it like I did just now and push it with your legs. When you turn the corner, just turn to the front. You don't have to worry about falling. I asked Yin Jian to help you from behind. You won't fall."
Zhou Bang was originally worried that he would fall, but when he heard that his daughter asked Yin Jian to support her from behind, he no longer had such worries.
He knew how good Yin Jian was in Kung Fu, so it wouldn't be a problem to support him alone.
"Okay, let's go."
Zhou Bang pressed his feet hard, and the wooden horse moved forward, followed by a group of villagers.
Mainly because Zhou Bang's movements were not fast, and Yin Jian was holding him up from behind but he didn't use much force.
After riding for a lap, Zhou Bang was so happy that he felt that he had learned it.
When passing Zhou Yu on the second lap, Zhou Yu winked at Yin Jian. Yin Jian had been following Zhou Yu for a long time. When he saw Zhou Yu's expression, Yin Jian let go in time.
Zhou Bang, who was riding, didn't know that Yin Jian behind him had let go, and he staggered a few meters away and was about to fall.
Although Yin Jian let go, he was still following behind. When he saw this situation, he immediately stabilized the car with both hands.
After Zhou Bang was stabilized, he looked back and saw that the person was still holding him firmly, and he felt relieved.
Yin Jian just released and supported him from time to time, and Zhou Bang actually rode well. When Zhou Bang got tired of riding and got off the car, not only the elders among the villagers, but also the young boys looked jealous.
But under the instructions of his parents every day, even the most out-of-the-box kid in the village did not ask to go up and try.
They didn't dare to go to Zhou Yu, so they all gathered around the village chief and asked the village chief to ask if the wooden horse was for sale. No matter how much money they had, they had to ask their families for money to buy one for riding, even if they cried. Riding a thief on the road is awesome, even better than riding a horse.
Seeing that it was getting late, the villagers reluctantly left, leaving only the village chief behind.
The village chief was actually very jealous. He just thought that he might not be able to learn at his age, so he had no choice but to stop thinking about it.
Yu Zheng was about to leave when he returned to Zhou's house, but after looking at the wooden horse for too long, he missed the time. If he were to return to the city now, the city gate was closed and he couldn't go back, so he simply stayed at Zhou's house tonight. one night.
After Zhou Bang came down, Yu Zheng also went up to give it a try. He had martial arts skills and a flexible mind. He quickly mastered the balance and rode with style. He learned it in less than a quarter of an hour.
Although his riding was not as good as Zhou Yu's, it was still pretty good.
After Yu Zheng had ridden for a few laps, Zhou Yan was so excited that he went up and gave it a try. It took him a little longer to learn than Yu Zheng, but fortunately he had learned it.
Zhou Bang looked at it and felt in his heart that he was too old to accept it. If he were more than ten years younger, he would definitely learn it as quickly as the two of them.
"County Master, the boys in the village asked me to ask if this wooden horse is for sale and how much money does it cost?"
"Village Chief, we don't plan to sell the first batch of these wooden horses for takeout. The first batch will be sent to the palace to the emperor first. But if we make them for sale in the future, I will definitely sell them to the villagers first. , as for the price, we’ll discuss it later. It hasn’t been decided yet.”
"Sure, as long as the county master says this, the boys in the village will feel relieved."
The village chief didn't wait long after he got what he wanted, and then left the Zhou family.
In the evening, the whole family sat together to eat. Since there was one more Yu Zheng in the family, they added two more Yu Zheng's favorite foods.
After eating, Yu Zheng rested next to Su Yan's house in the west. He had an empty room there.
Because it was getting late, Yu Zheng didn't ask what Su Yu was talking about. He got up and left the Zhou family at dawn the next day, and he had to go to the morning court early.
Making bicycles is just a beginner's job, and soon all the carpenters got started with it, and the speed of making bicycles was much faster. Basically, one or twenty bicycles were made every day, and two-wheelers and three-wheelers were made. The wheel company can produce more than a dozen vehicles every day.
When the warehouse at home was full, Zhou Yu asked someone to bring one with her. She planned to go into the palace to show the emperor.
Because he had to teach Chang Fang in the afternoon, Zhou Yu had to get up early and enter the city early.
When they arrived at the gate of the palace, the imperial guards saw that the carriage was hung with the emblem of the Anping County Prince's Palace. When they heard that the Lord of Jiahe County had something to see the emperor, one of the imperial guards guarding the gate hurriedly went to deliver the message.
Soon a small chamberlain came out from the palace gate. When he saw Zhou Yu, he first paid his respects to Zhou Yu.
"This slave has met the Lord of Jiahe County."
"Forget it. I asked people to take two things, and I have to trouble my father-in-law to ask the imperial guards to help me move them in."
"It's the county lord."
The most important thing is that the people she brings cannot enter the palace, otherwise Zhou Yu will not trouble others.
The waiter Xiao Nei quickly called for the imperial guards and carried the two things Zhou Yu mentioned into the palace.
At this time, the emperor was reviewing the memorial in the imperial study.
"Your Majesty, the Lord of Jiahe County has arrived."
"Let her in."
Zhou Yu entered the imperial study and first saluted the emperor.
"Jiahe has met the emperor."
"No need. In three days it will be twenty days. If you don't stay at home to teach Chang Fang well, why did you come to the palace?"
"As for returning to the Emperor, my family has recently opened a new workshop to make some wooden horses. Today I specially brought them to the palace to give to the Emperor."
Because the secret guards sent by the emperor waited until Chang finished school and left the Zhou family, they did not follow him back to the Zhou family that day and did not see Zhou Yu riding the wooden horse. Otherwise, the emperor would have known about it a long time ago. It’s not like even now that I hear Zhou Yu’s words, I don’t even know what the Trojan horse Zhou Yu is talking about is.
Soon, the Imperial Forest Army moved the two things Zhou Yu brought to the Imperial Study Room.
"Your Majesty, please look at this wooden horse and tricycle."
