Datang: My apprentice is Princess Changle

Chapter 231 The First Datang Bicycle Competition
Chapter 231 The First Datang Bicycle Competition
Youzhou, the county seat

Waves of warm exclamations were coming from the crowd.

On the open space of the new second district to be built in the county city, a large colorful shed was built.

The color shed at the highest point is the place where the king of Youzhou, the governor and some senior officials sat and watched the game.

Other colorful sheds are simpler, but they can also block the sun, and they are prepared for those who buy tickets to enter the venue.

In the other large open spaces, those who did not have a canopy to shade them all came directly to watch the game without buying a ticket.

These people either covered themselves with things, or simply wrapped their faces with cloth, or wore hats!

Without exception, they are ordinary people.

But these people don't think there is any problem in not being able to enter the canopy. After all, they can come to watch the game for free, which is already an advantage in itself!

In the crowd, there were some people carrying baskets and selling things constantly.

In the open space next to it, there are even boxes selling popsicles and ice cream.

Youzhou Cold Drink Factory also took the opportunity to launch a new drink!
It's called soda!

This drink is packed in a glass bottle, which contains colorful liquids and is chilled with ice cubes. Anyone who buys it can buy a bottle for five copper coins!
But the bottle cannot be taken away, it must be drunk on the spot.

But even so, there are still long queues at the official sales points of several cold drink factories!

Surrounded by the crowd, there is a long road. It is not a cement road, but a loess road. It has been widened and flattened. It looks very flat!

It can accommodate at least ten people running side by side at the same time!
This road goes far away from the front of the crowd. It is said that it will take a full circle around the new first district and the new second district. Even if you take a carriage, it will take at least an hour!
That is two hours!
Next to the tallest canopy, there are two tall poles, provoking a banner!
The banner is invincibly large and invincibly long!
The words on it are also invincible!

It is enough for people one or two miles away to see clearly!
"The First Datang Bicycle Competition!"

First?
Or national?
Even if the venue is in Youzhou County, all the participants are from Youzhou!
But it will not hinder the interest of the contestants and spectators!

With a loud bang, hundreds of cyclists rushed forward on their bicycles!

The big sun hanging in the sky made the onlookers drowsy from the sun.

At this time, someone started selling popsicles and ice cream even louder!

Especially the iced Youguo, you can buy several for one coin!
Ordinary people, no matter how stingy they are, at this time, they are willing to spend a copper coin to buy some iced premium fruits and share them with their families.

In the colorful shed at the highest point, Qin Yang was talking to Zhang Yunji.

The teams that went to other counties to buy piglets will be back around tomorrow.

At that time, they will be busy raising pigs and dividing piglets.

Production and delivery of bicycles and other seasonal products.

The above will make the petty officials in Youzhou very busy.

So today this kind of officials and petty officials participated in a lot of competitions, which is a rare relaxation.

Both Qin Yang and Zhang Yunji were wearing private clothes, drinking sour plum soup, and seemed to be in a good mood.

"My lord, the second batch of tomatoes will be ripe in a while, besides making jam, should I also send some to Beijing?" As the governor of Youzhou, Zhang Yunji had to remind him of this.

Qin Yang also understood that this was something that had to be done. Fortunately, he had a good relationship with Li Shimin, so sending some tomatoes to Beijing was not something he needed to force.

He smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll send the first batch right away?"

"The first batch? Could it be that they were sent along with the second batch of bicycles?" Zhang Yunji was startled, calculated the time, and asked.

Qin Yang nodded: "It was indeed sent there with the bicycle."

Zhang Yunji made some calculations again, and said: "Then it should be here soon, did you send it iced all the way?"

"The weather is so hot, if you don't need to freeze it, it will rot halfway." Qin Yang said helplessly.

"There is no way to do this. After all, it is thousands of miles away. Unless it is a god, otherwise, it is impossible to deliver it in a day or two." Zhang Yunji has long been accustomed to this, and said.

Unexpectedly, Qin Yang replied, "It's not impossible."

"What?" Zhang Yunji felt that he was hallucinating, and couldn't help asking.

Qin Yang replied again: "It's not impossible, if there are trains... or cars, it's not impossible for everyone to travel thousands of miles a day."

"What's that?" Zhang Yunji was stunned and asked.

Qin Yang consciously made a slip of the tongue, and said with a haha: "I thought about it myself, maybe I will work hard to create a means of transportation in the future."

Zhang Yunji lost interest immediately after hearing this answer.

Even if the person who said this was Qin Yang, the famous king of Youzhou.

Zhang Yunji didn't think this could be realized either. If Qin Yang said that he could travel thousands of miles a day, Zhang Yunji might believe it.But Qin Yang said that it is to enable everyone to travel thousands of miles a day.

How can this be?

Even though there are gods and magic tools in this world, if you want to use magic tools and learn fairy arts, you still need a chance!
It is impossible for everyone to have it!

Unless it is a paradise, a fairyland on earth, it is possible for everyone to use spells!And without any restrictions!

But these words are not easy to say to the king.

Zhang Yunji could only change the subject, pretending to be surprised and said, "Hey, is it going to rain?"

When he said that, he was speaking casually.

It just so happened that I looked up at the sky and found that it was getting gloomy, so I said that.

As a result, his voice fell, and there were really big drops of rain falling.

Zhang Yunji immediately said anxiously: "My lord, it's raining, what should I do?"

Now it is the first bicycle race. If it rains, will the race be suspended?
Qin Yang was not worried.

He has a weather tester in his hand that he exchanged in Chang'an, which can test the weather within a hundred miles.

Before the competition, he tested it and knew that there would be a very short rain today, which would not affect anything at all.

So Qin Yang said casually: "Don't worry, I can't get down."

How do you know you can't get down?

The dark clouds in the sky have gathered here!

Zhang Yunji couldn't help but slander.

He looked up from time to time, and the more he looked, the more worried he became.

But Qin Yang remained calm all the time. Seeing the commotion in the crowd not far away, Zhang Yunji couldn't help asking Qin Yang: "Your Majesty, the people are all worried, do you want to tell them something?"

"What?" Qin Yang glanced at him.

Then he groaned and said, "Then tell them that the rain won't start, so they don't have to worry about it, and don't need to find a place to hide from the rain."

Do you really want to tell me so bluntly?
"Your Majesty, in case you get down soon..."

"It won't rain heavily, and the rain will stop soon." Qin Yang said with certainty.
