Chapter 93: How about my bike
He also wants to take advantage of his free time to study something else, but he doesn't want to be led by Lao Zhu!
For example, glass for windows, cement for building houses, hydraulic lathes for building bicycles, and so on.
Now the windows are all paper-paste, although it is not ordinary paper, but the light transmittance is incomparable with glass, and the window is closed and the room is dark, which makes him, a modern person, very unbearable.
In addition, there is cement, now these brick and wood structure houses, look good-looking, quite artistic, but live in it, although it will not leak around, but its warmth and cold protection or something is still far inferior to the reinforced concrete house.
Not to mention the hydro lathe, he's still waiting to commute by bike!
Although the hydraulic lathe is not as precise and convenient as the motor, it can barely be used.
With the hard work of a group of skilled craftsmen and hydraulic lathes, Li Wei finally made a usable bicycle!
Not to mention the body, the steel structure, and the other main ones are the ratchets of the rear wheels, which are more difficult, but fortunately, after careful polishing by craftsmen, they are also made.
As for the tires, the leather is used first, and the rubber is thousands of miles away, so don't think about it for the time being.
After making a good bicycle, Li Wei tried to ride it, and it felt okay, although it was far less relaxed than the bicycles of later generations, but it was much better than walking.
In the early morning of the next day, Li Wei, who was happy to get new equipment, was in a period of excitement, and he didn't wait for the human alarm clock to call early, so he consciously changed his clothes and got up.
As soon as Han Yike arrived outside the door, he saw Li Wei move out of the house with a strange iron frame, and then he stepped on it, pedaled on the pedal, and the iron frame carried him away!
"Master Li, what are you doing?" Han Yike took two steps to catch up with Li Wei and asked in surprise.
"Well, the bike." Li Wei was calm on the surface, but he couldn't do it in his heart.
"Bikes?"
After hearing this, Han Yike felt that this name was very appropriate, and quickly followed him and sighed at the bicycle.
Li Wei was blowing the cool breeze in the early morning, and finally found some of the feeling of modern life, that's it, this is what he wants!
There will be bicycles, motorcycles, cars, luxury cars, private jets, and there will be in the future!
Riding a shoddy bicycle, Li Wei is full of confidence in his future life (obscene)!
"Lord Han, you go slowly, I'll go first!"
Li Wei said hello, and with the force on his feet, the bicycle immediately accelerated, and quickly moved away in Han Yike's surprised gaze, that speed was much faster than a person running.
Riding to the outside of the noon gate, Li Wei didn't get out of the car, but slowed down, drilled into the crowd, and circled around the ministers.
"Lord Zhao, it's early!"
"Lord Zhang, hello!"
"Old Xue, how about looking at my bike?"
Li Wei rode a bicycle back and forth between the ministers, greeting people while riding, for fear that others would not be able to see him.
At this time, of course, these civil and military ministers have seen this dog thief, but the relationship between everyone is not good, what are you doing with me.
Although many people were amazed by the strange iron frame that Li Wei was riding, it was impossible for them to admit it when they saw Li Wei's cheap appearance, and they all scoffed at Li Wei's greeting.
Only a few acquaintances such as Xue Xiang and Wu Bozong cooperated and praised a few words.
Li Wei doesn't care, just pretend to be his X and make these hateful people jealous!
In fact, he did this to promote the sale of bicycles in the future, and the more jealous these people are, the more willing they are to spend money when the bicycles start to be sold in the future.
You see, this is the bike that the dog thief is showing off, why don't we buy a better one than him?
When it officially goes on sale, it will definitely be stronger than the rag he is riding now, and when the time comes, he can make a lot of money by using the comparison of these people!
Li Wei kept selling his sword, and until the door was opened, he hurriedly chained the bicycle to the post of the stable, and hurriedly followed the team into the palace.
Since this time, the ministers have been constantly looking for him to impeach, originally they wanted to treat him in the way of others, but after investigating for so long, they still haven't found any corruption and perversion of the law by this dog thief.
Of course, they had already discovered the Minghuang Chamber of Commerce that Li Wei had made, but the Chamber of Commerce was under the royal name, and they had no way to impeach Li Wei for doing business in violation of regulations.
As for Li Wei's own expenses, it is really not big, although the salaries of the servants in the house are very high, but strictly speaking, they earn it for the Minghuang Chamber of Commerce, and it is not Li Wei who spends money to support them.
However, there are no big problems to be found, and small problems are constant, such as bonuses to craftsmen.
"Your Majesty, the minister impeached Li Wei, the squire of the Ministry of Works, privately gave rewards to the craftsmen of the Ordnance Bureau, since Li Wei took charge of the Ordnance Bureau, he has spent a lot of money, and he does not know how to cherish the material resources of the imperial court......"
Xu Hui of the household department caught the reason for a chatter.
Zhu Yuanzhang also frowned when he heard this, Li Wei did spend a lot of money during this time, and the key has not yet yielded results, which makes him very embarrassed.
Li Wei hid behind Xue Xiang and took a nap, ignoring it, without him, he was used to it.
But he didn't speak, someone spoke for him.
Han Yike is in the middle of the matter, although the grade is low, but the power is very heavy, and he is also qualified to rank in the palace, and when Xu Hui finished speaking, he immediately went out to speak for him:
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks otherwise, although Li Shilang has spent a lot, but his income is also remarkable, His Majesty handed over 100,000 sword soldiers, Li Shilang has been built in advance a few days ago, so fast is not comparable to the previous method, although the investment is huge, but the minister thinks it is still worth it......"
Li Wei, who was napping, suddenly chuckled in his heart, why did this dog Yushi have so many things?
He didn't pay attention to Xu Hui's participation in him just now, anyway, it wasn't a day or two.
But as soon as this Han Yike called, let Lao Zhu know that he had completed it ahead of schedule, so it would be strange if he didn't give him a double crit!
This is speaking for him, it is clearly trying to trap him!
After Han Yike finished speaking, he also gave Li Wei a kind smile, which means that there is no need to thank you, it is all what I should do.
Li Wei's cheeks twitched, and he said in his heart that I can't thank you, I have to thank you!
Zhu Yuanzhang was also very surprised after listening to Han Yike's words, originally he arranged so many tasks for Li Wei, and it was already very good to be able to deliver them on time, but he didn't expect him to be able to complete them a month ahead of schedule, which was really beyond his expectations.
"Li Wei, are you really done?"
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Li Wei with some surprise.
"yes, it's done."
Li Wei had no choice but to go out of class with a depressed face to explain the situation.
His dejected appearance made everyone in the hall stunned for a while, what did he say was done? Why do you still look lamenting and sighing when you're done? As if it's not finished? Is this pretending to be X or pretending to be X!
