After the whole sect traveled to ancient times, I led the rebellion
Chapter 132 The fatal temptation of bicycles
"Slow down, Mr. Li."
Mu Qing waved his hands vigorously and then walked back to the government office from the base.
Li Min had been a doctor all his life and had some savings, but more importantly, his second career was as the leader of a refugee army.
From the fact that Li Min often goes to the second floor of the milk tea shop to consume, we know that he must have saved a lot of money.
And just as Mu Qing guessed, Li Min was very wealthy and he took out four hundred and fifty taels of silver at once, all in cash.
As expected, he is a person who is preparing to start retirement life. He is rich.
Li Min rode his bicycle on the road the next day after picking up the bike.
The official roads in Anping are divided into pedestrian paths and carriage paths.
The people who got up early that day to go to the fields or factories to work suddenly looked up and felt a breeze blowing, and then they saw Doctor Li in the clinic.
They looked at Li Min's receding figure in surprise and rubbed their eyes.
Wait, what did they see?
Aunt Sun stood on the side of the road with her eyes wide open.
She saw Li Min sitting on two big wheels, and then he passed by her so quickly.
Before Aunt Sun could take a closer look, Li Min had disappeared.
"Oh my god, what is that? How can it fly with just two wheels?"
Aunt Sun grabbed Niu Daying's clothes and kept her eyes on the bicycle for a long time, until Li Min's figure disappeared into the distance.
Niu Daying and Aunt Sun both stretched their necks to look out:
"This thing looks faster than the usual carriages in Anping."
Other onlookers also saw Li Min riding his bicycle quickly past.
This novel thing instantly sparked heated discussions among the public.
"What is this? I have never seen this in my life."
"What is this? What's going on? Why are you all gathered here?"
"You didn't see it when you went there just now. It just had two wheels. Doctor Li sat on it and it flew over."
"Fly over?"
"We were still walking here, and those two big wheels started to move, so fast."
"What the hell is that big wheel?"
"You'll know if you go and see it. I can't explain it, but it's just two big wheels."
Some people were holding baskets and looking at the things going away. Their burning gazes seemed to want to stare a hole in the road.
Some people walked towards the clinic, wanting to see what Li Min was sitting under.
Others simply wanted to join in the fun, and they were very curious about what the "two big wheels" were.
In this way, wave after wave of old men and women who did not go out to work or farm went to the clinic.
Tang Li and Xu Yi were diagnosing a patient in the clinic when they looked outside and saw a large crowd of people standing there.
Tang Li was shocked. She remembered that the plague had already passed, so why were there still so many people coming to see the doctor?
Tang Li asked Xu Yi to look after some patients and then walked out.
Then I saw Li Min, who was usually low-key, being surrounded by a crowd.
A circle inside and a circle outside.
She finally managed to push through the crowd and saw Li Min standing in front of his bicycle and saying proudly:
"This isn't two big wheels, this is a bicycle."
"bike?"
“So these two big wheels can run without being pulled by horses or oxen.”
"Yes, I just rode it to the clinic."
"Amazing."
"Yes, it's a rare thing. I wonder how much such a car costs."
Li Min enjoyed the feeling of being the center of attention for a while and then let Tang Li pull the bicycle to the parking space where the carriage was parked.
When people everywhere saw such a rare item, they naturally spread the word.
After all, they were really bored from not going out during the plague.
Just a little bit of excitement can instantly make the whole Anping boil, especially when it is a big excitement.
The bicycle that looked like a car yet not a car quickly spread among Anping due to the existence of gossip groups.
Li Min acted in a high-profile manner. For several days in a row, people saw Li Min riding his bicycle from his residence in District 1 to the clinic.
They didn't know the true speed of the bicycle, but when they looked at it again, they realized that it was much more flexible than a horse-drawn carriage.
The people of Anping are all very fond of bicycles, which are much more attractive to them than horse-drawn carriages.
The Three Turns and One Ring was already very popular in China in the 20s and was loved by every family.
Three turns and one ring means radio, bicycle, sewing machine and watch.
And if we put bicycles in ancient times today, let alone their fatal temptation to the people.
The scholars in Anping naturally also noticed the bicycle.
After Li Min had been showing off his bicycle for a few days, someone came to Mu Qing to inquire about the origin of the bicycle.
The Xiao family of Anping and the banker of Xiaozhuang County both had some ideas and paid a deposit of one hundred taels.
Not only these two families, but also many former landlords and businessmen in Anping are willing to do so. They can afford the five hundred taels, but they are still hesitant.
Thanks to Li Min, Mu Qing was about to sell two bicycles.
There is still some celebrity effect involved.
Bicycles are expensive, and ordinary people can't afford them except these people.
Li Min saved many people during the plague, and made a good name for himself in Anping with his ancient recipe of Artemisia annua.
Although Li Min explained many times that the ancient prescription was not discovered by him, the people of Anping still regarded Li Min as the contemporary Hua Tuo.
Almost all patients who have suffered from epidemic diseases have taken the medicine prescribed by Li Min, so such a person will naturally have a celebrity effect.
The Zhuang family and the Xiao family also paid the deposit for this reason.
Mu Qing has been paying attention to the Zhuang family and the Xiao family for a long time.
The Xiao family favors boys over girls, while the Zhuang family is more sensible. However, there are many scholars in these two families, and Mu Qing does not want to weaken their strength.
This time, the banker and the Xiao family paid the deposit mainly to show weakness to Mu Qing.
Due to frequent wars, moving away from Anping is not realistic.
And when they have no way to retreat, they will naturally lean towards Mu Qing.
The deposit paid by the Zhuang and Xiao families this time has some meaning of compromise.
Mu Qing didn't care whether they compromised or not, she accepted both deposits.
If they wanted to survive in her territory, they had to abide by her rules. Mu Qing had already warned them once a year ago, asking them to report the number of hidden households to the government office.
The Xiao family has not replied yet, but the banker is relatively honest, and the number of hidden households they reported is almost the same as what Mu Qing found out.
Three bicycles were sold, but the buyer of the fourth one was someone other than Mu Qing's target user.
Wanqi Ziye has been waiting for Li Min for three days.
He walked back and forth around the bicycle. Every day he saw Li Min leaving District 1. Wanqi Ziye was so envious that he wished he could ride his bike around Anping right now.
He stared at the bicycle.
Mu Qing didn't tell them about the design of this car at the base.
Good things are hidden, and he only learned about the existence of the bicycle from others now.
After just one look at the bicycle, Wanqi Ziye quickly made up his mind. No one would refuse such a bicycle that looked like it was covered in silver armor.
The same is true for Wanqi Ziye.
