I am engaged in construction in Datang

"I saw it. That thing has two wheels, one in front and one behind, arranged in a straight line and fixed with an iron frame." Cheng Chuliang saw that both of them were there and squeezed over.

"Baolin, let's find a way to get one to play with after a while." Cheng Chuliang and Yuchi Baolin have a good relationship and are brave enough to have already started thinking about getting one to play with.

As they were talking, Xiao Yu came rushing over on his bicycle.

The people on both sides of the road screamed and cheered.

Wen Zhen and his companions watched with envy.

This thing called a bicycle was novel and interesting. They instantly imagined themselves riding on it through the streets and alleys.

Xiao Yu rode for too long and only returned home when he couldn't bear it anymore.

On this day, in the streets and alleys of Chang'an, noble families were asking about something called a bicycle, and then they learned that it was a new product from Nuzhuang.

As a result, the threshold of Liuweizhai was trampled upon.

Now that Liuweizhai has gotten back on track, the usual people in charge are not here, so everyone can only wait at the door of the store and buy some snacks.

"Aunt Yu, when will the head of the village arrive?" A young man couldn't wait and asked.

"Don't worry, I've asked someone to shout." Aunt Yu said with a smile. She worked here and had seen many big scenes over a long period of time. Every time there was something new in the village, everyone would flock to it.

However, the scene caused by the bicycle this time was much bigger than before.

"Oh... I'm almost dying of anxiety."

Aunt Yu could only smile helplessly. It was the same when everyone bought the new tea.

But the people in Zhuangzi were too busy, so she often couldn't see the person in charge.

Female village.

Feng Sanxi has not only been busy negotiating business with merchants recently, but also taking over some of Xiaochun's work, and contacting the more than 700 students with second-class certificates. After all, the court's experimental village project has been launched, and what is lacking is people to build the pond.

The owner of the manor has proposed something called a builder's honorary certificate, and he is working on perfecting it.

There was also the newspaper work that kept him busy and confused.

Li Yin was also busy. She had said before that she wanted to build three-dimensional agriculture, so she really started to take action.

Various rotation and intercropping techniques are written down one by one.

She wished she had sixteen arms and eight heads so that she could write all those useful agricultural books in a style suitable for today.

If there were any problems in the factories that couldn't be solved, she would be asked to take a look.

"Oh..." Li Yin sighed.

"Busy, busy all the time!"

"Master." Li Xiaosong pushed the door open and walked in. There was mud on his trouser legs. He walked hurriedly: "Liuweizhai has been surrounded. There are people who want to buy bicycles. Do you want me to take a look?"

Li Yin put down her brush and hung the written paper on the bamboo pole behind her to dry.

"No need, just go and do your own thing. I'll ask Li Er to come with me." She stretched her body. As long as the factory was on track, the output would still be good.

At present, they are producing 28-inch bicycles in large quantities. There are two types of bicycles. One has larger wheels and is suitable for tall and long-legged men. The other is ten centimeters shorter and can be ridden by ordinary adults.

The other ones with silver or gold coating are produced in smaller quantities.

Gold and silver are not wear-resistant and are expensive. Today's technology is not as advanced as that of later generations. It costs nearly ten taels of silver to coat it with a layer of silver.

As for paint, it is impossible to use it on a bicycle, so it should be saved for painting blackboards.

Liuweizhai, more and more people gather.

After knowing that Fang Xuanling and others had obtained bicycles, someone as shameless as Cheng Yaojin went directly to the palace to hint to Li Shimin to give him one to ride.

This group of military generals were even more arrogant and physically strong, so they simply rode their bicycles to visit all the people they knew in Chang'an.

This will increase people's enthusiasm for bicycles.

Li Yin often goes out to work, and many people in Chang'an City know her.

When she arrived at Liuweizhai, everyone spontaneously made way for her, and even the young masters who had been shouting became quiet.

"Everyone." Li Yin clasped her fists and bowed.

"What you are riding on the streets of Chang'an today is called a bicycle. It is a new product from the Nuzhuang factory. It is mainly designed to reduce the time people living outside the city spend walking to work every day."

"Li knows that you all want to buy one, but you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, and the workers in the factory can't grow up to be superhuman."

Li Yin calmed everyone down and continued, "In three days, it will be June 18th of the 18th year of the Tang calendar, which is also the 618th anniversary of the founding of the Tang Dynasty. There will be various activities at Liuweizhai, and bicycles, soap, candy, tea, meat floss... will be much cheaper than usual."

“I hope you will all come and support us then!”

"Master, will there be bicycles for sale that day?" asked a young man.

"Yes!" Li Yin nodded. "There will be two basic models for sale on June 18th, but only 500 will be available. The rest must be reserved. If you want to buy the silver or gold-plated ones, you need to participate in a lottery to qualify for the purchase."

There was a shortage of gold and silver, and Li Yin didn't intend to waste them on bicycles, so she thought of a way to limit the quantity.

"What is a lottery? How do you draw a lottery?" everyone was puzzled.

"Any customer who spends one kan of money on June 6, 18, and 19 will receive a lottery ticket. For every additional kan of money spent, you can get an extra lottery ticket, and each lottery ticket can draw a prize."

Li Yin continued, "The highest reward is a silver-clad bicycle with auspicious cloud patterns engraved on it."

"Hiss——" Everyone felt it was very powerful.

"If I win a bicycle, do I have to buy it?" Someone asked the question that everyone was wondering: Is this how I get the qualification to buy it?

"Of course not!" Li Yin shook her head. "A bicycle and the qualification to purchase it are two different things. If you win a bicycle, it means you can get a bicycle without spending a penny."

"Is there such a good thing?" A man was shocked.

"So if I spend ten taels of silver to buy oil, sugar, bean curd sticks, etc., and then I win a bicycle, then it means I get the bicycle for free?"

Li Yin nodded: "That's right, but there are only 50,000 lottery tickets every day. Once they are all given out, they will be gone. And the probability of winning a bicycle is very small."

Some wealthy families spend hundreds of strings of cash to buy things like tea, meat floss, bean curd sticks, etc. Add to that the foreign merchants, and 50,000 coupons are only worth 50,000 strings of cash, which is not enough to support them.

“How many bicycles are there in total?”

"Three 28-ton trucks every day." Li Yin said, "The one with the silver will appear on one of the days."

"Don't worry, everyone. You will definitely win a prize in every lottery."

After that, Li Yin reminded everyone: "We must spend wisely and not fall into the vortex of lottery. If you spend more than ten strings of cash, the casino will register and remind you."

How could people at that time have ever seen these business methods?

Li Yin is only afraid that ordinary people will lose their minds and go on a shopping spree when they see discounts, ending up with many things they don’t need.
