Wang Ben, Zhang Han, Meng Yi and others rode bicycles specially customized for them, and they were very swaggering on the streets of Xianyang City, attracting the envy of hundreds of people.

even learned the appearance of Ying Feiyu, waving to the people from time to time!

However, Ying Feiyu's appearance is very sunny and handsome, and her movements are also very chic.

The old goods are all wrinkled, with big round bellies, waving to the people, like black bears on the mountain!

He even mistook the fanatical attitude of the people for himself, and waved his hand more frequently.

As everyone knows, people's eyes have always fallen on cool bicycles!

As a result, the old goods are like live advertisements, shuttling through the streets and alleys of Xianyang every day, whether it is office or going to court, all have to ride bicycles!

Occasionally, the back seat will carry some goods, which makes the people even more envious!

When the noble and wealthy merchants in the city saw it, they hurriedly sent people out to inquire about how they could buy such a car!

Three days later, Huang Yuan found Ying Feiyu with a bitter face and recounted what had happened in the past few days, "His Royal Highness the Prince, if it continues like this, the lower officials will not be able to do anything!" ”

"Why is that?"

Ying Feiyu blinked her eyes, very puzzled.

"It's not a few Shangshu adults, who ride bicycles on the street every day, so that the noble and rich families are hot, and send a lot of people to inquire, no matter where the lower officials appear, there will be people who ask about the production progress of bicycles, and there are a lot of direct money, want to order bicycles ......!"

After Huang Yuan sighed deeply, he continued: "Even when you arrive at the factory, you can't stop, there are inquiries in your ears all the time, and there are even people who ask for relationships, give gifts to the cheap, saying that they want to be the first to get the bicycle, and the ministers are miserable!" ”

"Hahaha! This proves that the effect has been achieved! ”

However, Ying Feiyu burst out laughing.

"What?"

Huang Yuan was stunned.

"Do you know why Prince Ben asked you to make bicycles for a few Shangshu first, and also have excellent craftsmanship and exquisite patterns?"

Ying Feiyu did not answer the rhetorical question.

"Why? Isn't it to sell at a high price and make more money? ”

Saying this, Huang Yuan was even more puzzled.

Is there something else to it?

"No, no, no! Just relying on these industries under the current hands of Prince Ben, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are making money every day, and they will care about their little ......? ”

Ying Feiyu showed a shallow smile and continued: "After riding a bicycle into the palace last time, several Shangshu showed a fanaticism for bicycles, as long as they get bicycles, they will definitely ride to the street as soon as possible, the reason why they promised to make them first, in addition to taking the opportunity to pit them, is to let them give this prince a free advertisement!" ”

"Now it seems that this advertisement is very successful!"

Looking at Huang Yuan's face, I knew that this kid had been annoyed a lot recently, otherwise he wouldn't have come to him to complain.

"It turns out that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince means this!"

After understanding, Huang Yuan's shocked eyes had a trace of admiration.

Every time His Royal Highness the Crown Prince does something, it is not as superficial as they imagined.

Although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince rode a bicycle around Xianyang City before, it caused quite a stir.

But this sensation will not disappear in a few days.

And a few bicycles produced in advance, a few scholars bought them back at a high price, and rode them around every day, which not only satisfied their own vanity, but also made the people more interested.

Just like now, frantically looking for him to order!

It's just that he's suffering, and someone even blocked the order from the toilet!

"How many bikes will be produced in the first batch?"

Ying Feiyu asked.

"Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, after the successful development of the bicycle, the minister selected a group of newly learned craftsmen in the technical school, and transferred some old craftsmen in the steam tractor factory, and in a month, at least 10,000 vehicles can be built!"

Huang Yuan reported truthfully.

"Hmmm! It's not slow, but it's not enough! I have to continue to recruit craftsmen! ”

Ying Feiyu nodded slightly and said.

"Yes! Now all factories are expanding, and the recruitment notices have never stopped, but now the recruitment is not as hard as before! ”

Huang Yuan said with a little embarrassment.

At the beginning of Xianyang, there were many idlers, and they grabbed a lot of them, and they were worried about where to work to make money!

It's good now, even if the price is high, there are very few people who sign up.

A large family, the young go to work in the factory, the old stay at home to farm, there are really not many idlers!

Especially now that everyone's living standards have improved, they have begun to pay attention to education, so that children can read and write, strive for fame, and raise their eyebrows for their families.

It's no longer the same as before, and I started working with my family at a young age!

"Since there are few people in Xianyang City, let's build dormitories and canteens, publish recruitment information in newspapers, and recruit people from all over the world!"

Ying Feiyu thought about it for a while and came up with a solution.

Since there is no one in Xianyang, let's recruit more outsiders.

Just like in later generations, a large number of people move back and forth every year, and where there is money to be made, they will go!

Especially in the area of Longxi, the soil is thin and there is not much arable land, so you can encourage the people there to come to Xianyang to work!

"Dorms? Canteen? ”

For these two fresh words, Huang Yuan showed a little understanding, seemed to understand something, and didn't seem to understand it very well, and needed Ying Feiyu to give a detailed explanation.

"The reason why outsiders are reluctant to come to Xianyang is because they are accustomed to the local living environment and are unwilling to stay away, and because they have no residence! They are not like the craftsmen in Xianyang, who can go home after finishing their work, and they don't have a place to live, so they naturally don't want to come! ”

"Building dormitories, so that craftsmen from other places have a fixed residence, and canteens allow them to have hot food, to solve these two problems, there should be many people willing to come to work!"

"Coupled with the construction of the two vertical and horizontal railways, which runs through the entire Daqin, it will be much more convenient for craftsmen from other places to go home in the future!"

Ying Feiyu explained in detail, and Huang Yuan nodded knowingly.

There is a saying in later generations, it is good to say that you don't want to go home when you are full.

All the food and clothing have been solved, and as long as the idle people from other places come over, they can start working and get money, which should attract many people to sign up!

"Hmmm! It's a good idea, the next official will go back and do ......! ”

Huang Yuan's eyes lit up, and he nodded again and again, but then he seemed to think of something, and his brows frowned slightly, "His Royal Highness the Prince, the things we produced before, the technology is in our hands, and it is difficult for others to imitate it, but this bicycle is not difficult to build, even a blacksmith with a little experience can make it, I am afraid it will affect our business in the future!" ”
