Datang: My apprentice is Princess Changle

Chapter 230
Chapter 2 Thirty
"Could it be that King Youzhou's luck is really that strong?"

He didn't want to touch this bicycle, so God made him have to use this bicycle?

Within two days, the junior in the family who came to pay his respects to him, went around and talked on the bicycle.

The juniors who were originally very loving, actually made the atmosphere a little tense because of a bicycle.

This made Wei Zheng even more unhappy.

"Playthings lose their ambitions!"

"For a foreign object, you have even forgotten the brotherhood? It is really a waste of reading the sage's book!"

"Go back and copy the books! Reflect on yourself!"

After teaching them a lesson, Wei Zheng sulked to himself.

But after thinking about it again, they can't blame them all.

These juniors are all in their early ten years old, just the age that likes new things.

On weekdays, they live with their parents and do not live with him.

Although Wei Zheng was strict with his sons, he was much more tolerant towards his grandsons.

After thinking about it, he planned to get a few more bicycles, so that the younger generation in the family would not cause petty conflicts because of such a thing.

As a result, he asked someone to investigate, only to find out that in just two days, bicycles have become popular in Chang'an City!
"What? You can't buy it at all? Didn't you mean to bring back more than 1000 cars?" The old housekeeper asked Wei Zhong who had been sent out.

Wei Zhong replied with a bitter face: "I brought back more than 1000 bicycles, but the entire Chang'an City, dignitaries, rich men and ladies, add up to more than 1000! No! Now a bicycle has already been sold." It has been surpassed by 50 taels of silver, and it is still priceless!"

50 taels of silver, and you can't buy it at all?

After the old butler reported the matter to Wei Zheng, Wei Zheng fell silent immediately.

He can't afford this price!

It's not that you can't afford it, but there are too many things you can do with 50 taels.

Asking him to buy a bicycle with 50 taels of silver, and he can't just buy one, he needs to buy several at the same time, this is really more terrifying than killing him!
But recalling the eager eyes of the children, Wei Zheng felt a little sad.

As a clean and honest official, he couldn't afford such a large sum of money, so he simply found another way.

"I might as well ask the emperor."

As long as he is willing to let go of this old face, he may not be able to ask for another car or two.

As a result, when he went to see Li Shimin, he happened to meet Fang Xuanling and Du Rumei who also came to beg Li Shimin.

When they asked each other, the purpose of the three of them coming was actually the same!

They are all begging for bicycles for the juniors!

It's not that other people are not greedy, it's just that the three of them have worked hard and have always had face in front of the emperor, that is, they dare to ask and ask, but others dare not even ask.

Such as Cheng Yaojin and other generals who dared to ask, happened to be not in Beijing at this time.

The three veterans stepped into the imperial study room again, this time to beg Li Shimin for more cars, their moods were different, and the expressions on their faces were naturally different from the calm and breezy before.

Sitting on the dragon chair, Li Shimin looked at the three old ministers who had persuaded him to be more vigilant to King Youzhou before, with a bitter face, begging himself for a reward.

This also includes the old man Wei Zheng!

Li Shimin is really happy!
When he usually plays with birds, he has to avoid being seen by Wei Zheng!
Wei Zheng also has today!

Li Shimin pretended to be helpless and said: "Well, I only have a few bicycles here. In this way, I will give one to each of the three lovers. If you need more, you can only wait for the business of King Youzhou." The team is coming to Beijing again, and I heard that at least [-] bicycles will be shipped this time, and the price will come down by then, and if you keep an eye on some Datang supermarkets, I believe you will be able to grab the people in the entire capital."

It can only be so.

The three old ministers left the palace with a bicycle each.

On the way out, Wei Zheng sighed and said, "The king of Youzhou is really good at chess!"

Fang Xuanling and Du Rumei looked at him.

Wei Zheng said: "Look, how long have you come up with a bicycle! As long as new products are released every month, the relationship between Chang'an and Youzhou will only continue to strengthen."

"But it's actually a good thing, isn't it?" Du Rumei said suddenly.

Wei Zheng also nodded and said, "It's indeed a good thing."

The three of them have no conflict of interest with King Youzhou. The relationship between King Youzhou and the emperor is good, and the close relationship between Youzhou and Chang'an is not necessarily a bad thing.

But Wei Zheng still reminded: "However, Chang'an and the inland of the Tang Dynasty must not fall into the result of relying on Youzhou to support the economy one day."

Both Fang Xuanling and Du Rumei couldn't help laughing.

How can this be?

"Don't worry, there won't be such a day."

"The Tang Dynasty has a vast territory and rich materials. No matter how good it is, Youzhou is still a border county and a bitter cold place. We can only rely on the king of Youzhou to come up with some ideas and build something. It is impossible to rely only on these external objects. To grow like this, not to mention Youzhou, even a few wealthy counties in the south, after generations of dynasties, cannot reach this level, you are too unfounded to worry about it."

Hearing what the two colleagues said, Wei Zheng also felt that his worries were unfounded.

He sighed softly, "I wish."

If there is such a day, we can only hope that King Youzhou will have enough conscience.

Along with the three veterans, there were also gifts sent to Youzhou.

Li Shimin has always been a man who loves and desires life and evil and desires death.

Whoever is pleasing to the eye is really pleasing to the eye, and I wish I could give all the good things to the other party!

Youzhou King is Li Shimin's prospective son-in-law, Li Shimin is now taking Youzhou King very seriously, and the things he sent to Youzhou are all good things in his private treasury!

"I don't know when the next batch of bicycles will arrive." Li Shimin thought with hope.

Just because the bicycle I got this time is really easy to use!
His prospective son-in-law mentioned in the letter that the cost of bicycles is not high, and he can give him more next time.

And this thing is currently used to reward the courtiers, he is happy, and the courtiers are also happy.

There has been a bicycle craze in Beijing.

He quietly took the eunuch out of the palace to have a look, and found that noble girls and playboys could already be seen running all over the street on bicycles.

As soon as the bicycle appeared, it was labeled expensive in Chang'an City.

Thinking of the cost price of this thing, Li Shimin looked forward to it even more.

After all, he also has his shares in Datang Shangchao!
The dividends he gets every month are enough for Li Shimin to fill his coffers!
"By the way, the Datang Weekly is in a hurry to save manuscripts recently. There is no one to take the lead. We still have to urge Youzhou King to make more manuscripts."

"Come here, put pen, ink, paper and inkstone!"

"I can't let him really hide!"

Li Shimin thought that he had read half of the script, and couldn't help but urge him to change it.

He asked people to put pen, ink, paper and inkstone on it, this time he wrote a personal letter similar to a letter from home, sealed it and sent it to Youzhou.
