Traveling through the millennium: creating a prosperous dynasty with you

After all, in this day and age, only the Imperial Palace, Prince Chen's Mansion and Prince Jing's residence have full access to electricity supply.

At this moment, the sun was scorching and the heat was unbearable, but the emperor installed air conditioning in the palace, making it cool and comfortable when attending court.

Everyone was secretly envious, but they had no choice but to hope that the capital city would have electricity as soon as possible. After experiencing air conditioning, they were asked to use ice cubes to cool down. They hated it as much as they were complacent. They also wanted to enjoy the coolness of air conditioning at home.

Finally, someone couldn't hold back their curiosity and asked the Crown Prince, "Your Highness, after we have electricity, can we buy air conditioners and refrigerators?"

Hearing this, An Chen was surprised and said, "You actually know something about air conditioners and refrigerators?"

Everyone told the prince about the emperor showing off in front of them.

Originally, these air conditioners and refrigerators were really reserved for the emperor, the queen mother and the concubines in the harem, but unexpectedly, the emperor took them out and showed them off everywhere.

As the emperor grows older, he becomes more and more like a child, wanting to show off everything he does.

An Chen responded: "I need to ask Zhenzhen about this matter. After all, these are things used by gods and immortals, and it is difficult for us to produce them."

When everyone heard this, they were filled with gratitude to the prince. They begged him to ask the princess to donate generously, and they were willing to buy it at a high price. When they heard that it could also be used for heating in winter, they flocked to buy it.

Only after An Chen repeatedly assured them that he would ask the question did they give up.

An Chen: "Uncle, both wind and hydroelectric power stations require specific geographical environments and strong professional knowledge. You only need to take people to find a suitable location. After choosing a place, you can learn while building. The necessary items will be delivered to you at any time."

King Jing: "The book introduces many requirements for site selection. I am considering building a wind power station near the school. In this way, the school will have sufficient electricity. In addition, the area there is vast and sparsely populated, which is very suitable for construction."

An Chen: "Great, go pick the specific location and let us know when you're sure."

After some discussion, everything was finally settled. An Chen stretched out his body tiredly, yawned loudly, and then told the butler to see the guests off. He couldn't wait to find his little wife and seek her praise and comfort.

An Chen told Xu Zhen that his grandfather said his two uncles were making a human-powered electric car at home!

Xu Zhen: "It's called an electric car because it's powered by electricity. If it requires human power, it's called a bicycle. But they are pretty smart. They can draw inferences from one example. They don't have electric cars, so how did they think of making that?"

An Chen: "My mother gave them her electric bike, and after some research, the two of them successfully created a new type of electric bike. However, the frame of this bike is wide and comfortable to ride, but it is a little inconvenient to ride. Grandpa wants me to ask you if you have any solution?"

Xu Zhen: "Of course, you forgot that I have a lot of bicycles. Did grandpa go far? Ask him to bring back a few."

An Chen: "Let the butler send it to him."

Xu Zhen generously gave his two uncles several bicycles of different models, and the housekeeper personally led people to deliver them to Minister Li's mansion.

As soon as Li Shangshu entered the palace, the palace's carriage arrived at the door. The butler got off the carriage, followed by several servants, each pushing a bicycle. Behind them followed a long line of curious people.

The butler smiled and said to Minister Li, "This is a gift from our prince to the two young masters. Please accept it." After that, he ordered the servants to move the bicycles into the yard.

Minister Li was very happy when he saw these exquisite bicycles. He quickly thanked them, "Thank you, Crown Prince and Crown Princess, for me. I will send someone to find my son right away."

He knew that these bicycles were carefully selected by Xu Zhen, not only with novel styles but also with high quality. With these bicycles, his two sons would definitely be very happy.

Minister Li asked his servants to call out the two young masters. When they saw the bicycle, they were very excited, and even found it hard to believe that what they saw was so magical. They thanked Xu Zhen again and again.

Minister Li looked at his two sons' ecstatic expressions and couldn't help but feel a surge of joy in his heart.

He knew that these two bicycles meant a lot to them. They were not just a novel means of transportation, but also a key for them to explore the unknown world.

So he earnestly exhorted: "You must study these bicycles carefully and try to make vehicles as good as these."

After the people from the palace left, Minister Li slowly walked back into the house. At this moment, his thoughts were surging like a tide. He realized that bicycles not only brought great convenience to their daily lives, but also could become an extremely precious gift that could be given to relatives, friends or other important people. Thinking of this, his eyes became more determined.

After careful consideration, Minister Li finally made a bold decision - to open a shop in the city specializing in selling bicycles.

He turned to his two sons and said, "Look, that Zhenzhen girl is so smart. She can turn anything into a profitable business. In my opinion, this bicycle is indeed a rare and good thing. You two brothers must work harder and study hard on how to make such a bicycle. We have so many shops in our house, but almost few of them are truly profitable. If we can successfully manufacture this bicycle, we might as well set up a shop to specialize in selling it. Who knows, we might even make a fortune from this opportunity!"

So he immediately ordered his men to start preparing for the store. He was secretly looking forward to his two ambitious sons being able to successfully manufacture bicycles, so that they could choose a date to open the store and have a grand opening.

Unexpectedly, the two brothers were so talented that after only a few days of seclusion, they miraculously created a unique and unprecedented novelty - a modern version of the bicycle!

Minister Li could hardly suppress his inner excitement and joy. He widened his eyes and looked carefully at the uniquely shaped bicycle in front of him, with a gleam of surprise in his eyes.

He couldn't wait to get on the saddle and try riding it himself, and was amazed at the light and convenient feeling.

"Compared to previous models, this bicycle is not only lighter and more flexible, but also much faster. It's really amazing!"

The two brothers saw their father's satisfied expression and exchanged knowing smiles with each other. They knew that their hard work over the past period of time had finally been recognized.

Minister Li was so delighted that he decided to launch the bicycle into the market as soon as possible.

This good news spread quickly throughout the streets and alleys like a spring breeze. After hearing about it, people rushed to join in the fun and wanted to take a look at this new thing.

As expected, this unique means of transportation quickly won the hearts of the people, and its sales soared like an unstoppable force.

Seeing the Li family's shop prospering because of the bicycle, An Chen could only shake his head helplessly. He turned to Xu Zhen beside him and sighed: "The Ministry of Revenue has arranged so many things to deal with, but grandpa still has the mind to tinker with these things."

Xu Zhen: "I heard that the progress at the Ministry of Revenue is also very good. That's good. Now the Minister of Revenue has learned how to make money. Maybe the Ministry of Revenue will get better and better in the future."

As bicycles became popular, other businesses keenly sensed the business opportunities and followed suit. Suddenly, a dazzling variety of bicycles emerged on the market.

However, the Li brothers did not become complacent. They knew that the market was like a battlefield and they must always maintain a spirit of innovation and progress. Therefore, they continued to study technology, introduce new products, and launched more novel styles and powerful bicycles, which always firmly occupied the leading position in the industry.

An Chen and Xu Zhen also noticed this surging trend, and they deeply realized the cruelty of competition. After careful consideration, Xu Zhen suggested to An Chen: "In my opinion, they can consider further expanding the scale of production, or investing resources in the research and development of some unique new products."

Anchen nodded in agreement, adding: "That's true, but it still needs careful planning. In addition, they might as well try to work with other businesses to promote bicycles together."

In view of this, the Li brothers immediately began to formulate a new development plan. On the one hand, with the help of Qian Mingcheng, they actively expanded the chain franchise business, striving to radiate the influence of their own brand to a wider area; on the other hand, they worked tirelessly on the research and development of new bicycles, hoping to lead the trend again with unique design and excellent performance.

Xu Zhen once again provided them with a tricycle model, which attracted the attention of many ordinary people once it was launched on the market. The tricycle is extremely convenient for both transporting goods and people.

This trend quickly swept across the entire capital city. If nothing unexpected happens, bicycles will soon become widely popular and bring more convenience to people's lives.

The Ministry of Works, the Ministry of Revenue, and the Ministry of Rites all had outstanding work efficiency, and the tasks they were responsible for progressed exceptionally smoothly.

King Jing has been leading his men to carefully select suitable sites for building wind power stations around schools outside the capital, and has been busy with this recently.

Solar photovoltaic panels and solar tiles were sold out immediately after they were launched. Xu Zhen had to restock them several times and also stocked up a large amount of goods in the warehouse behind the store.

Refrigerators and air conditioners were extremely rare items. Although they were expensive, the wealthy people in Beijing had enough money and bought them home.

Due to the emergence of these new products, almost all the shops in Beijing that originally specialized in selling ice cubes are facing bankruptcy.

Seeing that everything was going smoothly, An Chen and Xu Zhen finally felt relieved and began to enjoy this peaceful and beautiful time. Sometimes, they would ride their bicycles together and go out for a leisurely stroll.

On this day, they came to a colorful sea of ​​flowers outside the city. Here, the flowers are competing with each other in beauty and colorful, like an intoxicating painting. Xu Zhen happily shuttled and played among the flowers, while An Chen pushed his bicycle slowly forward, immersed in the beautiful scenery before his eyes.

"It's so beautiful!" Xu Zhen couldn't help but exclaim.

"Yeah, I haven't been so relaxed for a long time." An Chen responded.

"Well, nowadays, many things are handled by someone else. From now on, we just need to be a leisurely and hands-off shopkeeper. If I am so busy and tired every day, I am afraid that I will soon become a wrinkled and yellow-faced woman."

"Absolutely not! My little wife is not yet fully mature, how can she call herself a yellow-faced woman?" An Chen joked.

"It's easy to age if you take care of too many things!" Xu Zhen retorted.

"Then from now on, Zhenzhen only needs to focus on staying beautiful and attractive, and all other matters will be handled by your husband." An Chen said gently.

When An Chen's lips were about to touch his wife's lips that were as soft as honey, he was suddenly pushed away by Xu Zhen. He staggered back a few steps defenselessly and almost fell to the ground.

An Chen asked blankly, "What's wrong?" His eyes revealed a hint of doubt and confusion.

Xu Zhen pointed to the two figures in the distance and asked, "Look at that person over there. Does he look like An Shuo?"

An Chen looked in the direction of Xu Zhen's finger and saw Lao Er. He couldn't help but feel a little surprised and thought to himself, "Isn't he busy with something else? Why is he here?"

An Chen murmured to himself: "Isn't he busy? Why is he here?"

Xu Zhen couldn't help but interrupt his thoughts and reminded him, "Isn't your focus a little off? Shouldn't you first ask who the woman with him is?"

An Chen cast his gaze into the distance again, and then he noticed that there was a woman standing next to An Shuo. The two of them were talking and laughing, and their behavior was intimate. An Chen whispered, "Who is that woman?" There was a bit of curiosity in his voice.

Xu Zhen observed for a while and replied, "She looks like a woman from a foreign race."

An Chen hesitated for a moment and suggested, "Why don't we go over and take a look?" He seemed to be full of curiosity about this mysterious woman.

However, Xu Zhen immediately shook her head and retorted, "It's obvious that they are on a date. What would it mean for us to go over there so rashly? Are we going to be a third wheel?" There was a hint of ridicule and mockery in her tone.

An Chen said solemnly: "Anguo is currently in a special stage of development. Spies from various countries are constantly changing their methods to spy on the news. He is really stupid. Don't fall for that woman's beauty trap!"
