Chapter 60: Tricycles

Yu Zhiqian stared at the tricycle in front of him, which was an item of the tricycle to be precise.

If there's a TV sale here, it would definitely say so.

"Readers and friends, everyone look at it, look at it, this is the product of the innovation era designed by His Royal Highness the Prince of the Yutang Empire, and created by the master of the Ministry of Industry Zhu Youxiao and others, a purely handmade product of the era of innovation, a tricycle!"

"Look at the yellow body, pigskin wheels, unprecedented, shocking! He made the neighborhood's hearts beat and made everyone scream! ”

"Look at this seat, gold-inlaid seats, luxury design, pedal design, human power, rear rear-wheel drive, comparable to the three series!"

……

Yu Zhiqian stared at the seats of the two tricycles and frowned: "Why is gold used here?" ”

Shen Wansan said with a smile: "Your Highness, this is designed by you, and it must be in line with your identity, so I independently advocate replacing you with a gold chair to highlight your noble status!" ”

After finishing speaking, he still had a smile on his face.

Yu Zhiqian stared at this guy, if he could, Yu Zhiqian really wanted to beat this guy to death with one punch, and he finally made some money, and this goods began to be squandered.

"Wansan, I think you're a little unsuitable for managing money!"

"Your Highness?"

Shen Wansan looked at Yu Zhiqian with some confusion.

"I'll arrange you later!"

After Yu Zhiqian finished speaking, he walked to the mountain wheel and looked at the tricycle carefully, the wheel hub looked a little heavy, there was no aluminum in these years, and the circle made of wrought iron was very round, but it was very heavy.

In addition, the chain is still far away, but it is connected with gears and simple iron chains, and in general, it is the first generation of chains.

The handles were made of wood, and the axles were made of iron pipes, and more than thirty blacksmiths almost fell down tired in order to make these things.

"Everyone get out of the way, Hongu has to give it a try!"

After finishing speaking, Yu Zhiqian jumped into the tricycle, and then stepped on it hard!

It was difficult to step on, and after stepping on it, Yu Zhiqian spent a lot of effort.

Jumping out of the car, Yu Zhiqian stared at the foot pedal, this position is too tight, you can't step on it, you need to add a little lubricating oil, or something else!

couldn't help frowning, Yu Zhiqian thought for a while: "Zhu Youxiao, you come over a few times, add a booster, in this way, you make a hole here, and then go to some oil to go in, by the way, there are still small gears, add one!" ”

Soon, after replacing a new pedal, Yu Zhiqian went up and tried it again, and it felt pretty good! It's just that the research and development of the chain needs to be put on the agenda, before Yu Zhiqian felt that the chain was not easy, and later found out that after the armor and iron cables worn by the guards of the East Palace, the chain should be able to be made, but it may be more complicated.

"How much does this car cost?"

Yu Zhiqian rode a circle with satisfaction, although it was not as labor-saving as the tricycle of later generations, and it was like climbing on flat ground, but it was much easier than carrying so many things.

Hearing Yu Zhiqian's question, Shen Wansan ran over with a smile on his face, and took out a small account book: "Your Highness, the material cost is sixteen taels of silver and twenty taels of gold!" ”

"If you don't count gold, the cost is sixteen taels?"

"Yes, Your Highness, not counting the labor cost, if the labor cost is added, it may cost more than twenty taels!"

After Yu Zhiqian heard this, his brows furrowed, originally he invented this thing for the benefit of the people, more than twenty taels of bicycles, the price of this thing is too expensive, who can afford this thing for ordinary people?

"The cost is too high!"

Zhu Youxiao stared at the tricycle and discovered the role of this thing, and his opinion of Yu Zhiqian changed a little: "Your Highness, the cost of this tricycle can be reduced, the wood can be made of ordinary hardwood, and the bearing in the middle can also be replaced by wood, and here and here!" ”

Zhu Youxiao kept talking to Yu Zhiqian about the things that could be improved, Yu Zhiqian's brows became deeper and deeper, this guy knew that there were so many things that could be improved, why didn't he improve them in the first place.

"Why didn't you say it earlier!"

Zhu Youxiao glanced at Shen Wansan: "Your Royal Highness, Weichen also said at the beginning that ordinary materials should be used, but Shen said that you are His Royal Highness the Prince, and you must use good materials, so this is ......."

After Yu Zhiqian heard this, he turned his head and glanced at Zhu Youxiao, if he could, Yu Zhiqian now wanted to slap this guy's head off, this damn guy!

"Your Highness, Your Highness has wronged you......"

Shen Wansan immediately began to cry, he found that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince began to change, he was not as extravagant and wasteful as before, and began to be diligent and thrifty, although he was very happy in his heart, but now he could only cry, otherwise the prince might ......

"Okay, get out of the way, don't be good at making claims in the future!"

After Yu Zhiqian said a word, he waved his hand, signaling his subordinates to put all the goods they needed to pick up on the car, and then went up to try it again.

"Shen Wansan, come here, push me!"

"Whoa!"

Shen Wansan immediately got up and ran behind Yu Zhiqian, pushing Yu Zhiqian's tricycle forward, the speed immediately increased, Yu Zhiqian's eyes immediately lit up, he found someone to push him behind when the time came, it was indeed a lot easier, and he could bring some food and drink!

In the palace, the emperor is bathing and burning incense, and there will be a big sacrifice tomorrow, so there must be no sloppiness, but the emperor always feels that there is a bad premonition, and his unreliable prince does not know what kind of moth he will make when the time comes.

"Wu Sangui!"

"The old slave is here!"

"What is the prince doing?"

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, it seems that he has been indulging in research and development recently, claiming to be for the people of the Tang Dynasty!"

"Oh, what's going on?"

The emperor suddenly became interested, and he didn't know what this rebel was doing!

"Your Majesty, the prince has researched the bicycle, which is a magical thing, Jin Yiwei painted a picture and sent it up, saying that as long as someone rides on the car, there is no need for a horse, and there is no need for someone to push it, this car can go forward by itself, it is very magical!"

"Oh, really?"

The emperor's eyes lit up, and he made something wrong with the prince.

"Show me!"

Wu Sangui carefully sent a piece of drawing paper, and after looking at it for a while, the emperor didn't understand how this thing walked, but the big sacrifice was imminent, and he didn't have time to care about his prince now, so he just nodded, indicating that he already knew.

ps: I'm not feeling well today, I wrote it with a headache, push it and say, I pushed it wrong yesterday, and if you are interested in "Heroes of the Late Han Dynasty", you can take a look.
