The Lord is Addicted in Infrastructure

Paar Lake, outside the castle.

After the heavy snow, today's weather is rare and clear, and it is a day to go out. Xia Zuoyi couldn't wait to invite everyone to experience the latest research of Reynolds and Joseph.

Judith, Gibran, Toby...Fernandi, Walker and others were all there, watching the lord come from a distance on a thing with curious eyes.

It was a very old-fashioned bicycle with two wheels, front and rear, with a beam in the middle and a seat at the back.

Xia Zuoyi seemed to be very skilled. Seeing everyone looking at him, he still had time to let go of the handlebars to say hello. After a while, he came to the front, turned around and rode out.

Seeing this, Gibran's younger brother Toby said enviously, "Your lord is so smart, I couldn't control my balance when I was riding a bike just now..."

Always about to fall off.

Valk nodded in agreement.

It's not just Toby, even he is the same. He was very clumsy in all aspects when he boarded this thing called a bicycle for the first time. Fortunately, he has long legs, so even if he can't balance well, he won't fall to the ground.

And the bicycle is actually easy to learn, not too difficult.

Reynolds sent five bicycles, and after they tried almost all of them, the lord went up to ride them, and he succeeded the first time.

Valk couldn't help sighing: "After all, it's something the lord told me to study."

And after having a bicycle, it is undoubtedly more convenient to travel in the city. Whether it is the back seat or the front basket, it is also very useful-carrying people, placing some items, etc.

Now the bicycles are being mass-produced, and they will probably be sold in the Thorn Chamber of Commerce after the winter has passed.

Excitedly, Xia Zuoyi rode her bicycle around the open space outside the castle several times.

The place has already been cleaned by the servants, and there is no snow.

But there are two snowmen cuddling together in the place where they don't often walk, one is taller and the other is short. Rubies, he found no caramel ones.

The two snowmen have chubby and chubby bodies, with dry branches found by the Pope himself as arms and hands. A solid-colored scarf is wrapped around the necks of the two snowmen, making them look very close to each other.

Xia Zuoyi rode a bicycle around to the taller snowman.

He spent a lot of time exercising, and his whole body became hot. His ears were wrapped under furry earmuffs, and his hands wore cotton gloves, the kind with the thumb separated from the four fingers.

He took off one glove and put it on the arm of the taller snowman's tree branch, and put the other glove on the tree branch of the short snowman. Same as greeting.

Xia Zuoyi laughed twice, got on the bicycle and rode towards His Majesty the Pope, and finally stopped with one foot on the ground in a handsome posture.

"A Sai, do you want to try riding around?"

After becoming more intimate, Xia Zuoyi naturally changed his address. He didn't like to call the Pope crowned Saigalot, it was a bit long and troublesome, and it didn't show the relationship between the two.

So, he came up with a very concise and intimate title, which can make other people dumbfounded when he yells it out.

The first time he yelled, Judit almost dropped the teacup that was being handed to him.

The second time, when Fernandi, Walker, Samuel and others were present, they were having a meeting, and His Holiness the Pope was sitting beside him.

After Xia Zuoyi yelled, there was another "bang", and Samuel was so shocked that he slammed his chin on the table. He originally supported his chin with the back of his hand, but now the shock and severe pain made this legendary man who had arrived in the New World The character distorts the facial expression.

Fernandi and Walker did not give in too much, and it was rare to lose their composure.

Standing behind Xia Zuoyi, Butler Judith silently thought, fortunately, he had already lost his composure earlier, so it would not be difficult to calm down now.

It seemed that the lord did not intend to hide his relationship with the Pope.

Xia Zuoyi smiled at the trusted subordinate: "What's the matter, why such a big reaction."

The innocence of the posture makes people look sideways.

Sir, don't you really know why we have such a big reaction? !What did you call His Holiness the Pope just now? !

Why are you and the Pope so close? !

Walker looked at the two of them and laughed dryly: "No, it's nothing."

The next step is to continue the meeting, this topic is skipped, after all Xia Zuoyi's performance is quite obvious, and everyone is vaguely aware of it.

But some things just need awareness.

Just like after the heavy snowfall, the lord and the Pope personally built two snowmen close together outside the castle.

It was an unabashed gesture.

So far, how many people who have noticed something have received it well.

After the bicycle was delivered to the castle, the only person waiting outside was Saigalot who hadn't ridden it yet. Regarding Xia Zuoyi's invitation, he glanced at the others with a smile.

Xia Zuoyi understood in seconds, and everyone else made excuses to leave. Even the butler who had been serving personally turned around and returned to the castle. It was time to prepare dinner for today.

When only Xia Zuoyi and Saigalot were left in the spacious open space outside the castle, the somewhat reserved Pope took hold of the handlebar of the bicycle and stepped onto it with one stride of long legs.

Afterwards, Xia Zuoyi covered her mouth to prevent herself from making a noise, and watched the Pope ride a bicycle from a little clumsily, familiarly, and finally stop in front of her skillfully.

Saigalote pinched Xia Zuoyi's smiling cheeks: "Get in the car and take you for a ride."

He motioned for Xia Zuoyi to sit in the back.

Xia Zuoyi shook her head: "I can sit somewhere else."

Where else but the back seat?

Saigalote's eyes fell on the crossbeam between the bicycle seat and the handlebar. He let go of one hand holding the handlebar, and watched Xia Zuoyi come over and sit sideways on it, with a satisfied expression on his face .

Xia Zuoyi couldn't help shaking her legs, and leaned on the Pope's chest with a smile, "Asay, let's go!"

The wheels kicked, and Saigalot began to lead Xia Zuoyi around in an open space. Before he could complete two circles, a group of furries rushed out from the castle fighting with each other.

The briquettes are at the head, the ice cream is behind, and the green balls are happily circling in the sky.

Eggboy and Brown Sugar are obviously very curious about the two-wheeled bicycle. They have never seen it before, so they can't help but quickly catch up——

Xia Zuoyi: "A Sai, run, there are beasts behind!"

"I'm so scared, huh."

The lord, who pretended to be scared, hugged the Pope's waist tightly, buried his head in the other's chest and laughed.

Saigalot: "..."

After all, a person with two legs can't run with a person with four legs, not even a person with two wheels.

The more Xia Zuoyi prevented the furries from following, the more their curiosity was aroused. In the end, even the ice cream, who was not very interested in it, caught up and pawed.

Sejalot was forced to stop riding under the "favorite" of the furries. He held onto the handlebar with one hand, pinched Xia Zuoyi's soft cheek with the other and said, "Little rascal, you are so naughty."

Xia Zuoyi pouted and kissed him.

No matter how much helplessness Saigalot had, it was gone, not to mention, even his helplessness was sweet.

This playfulness can be regarded as the fun between the two.

…………

The quiet winter passed quickly, and after the beginning of spring, the sales of bicycles began without warning. First, the guys from the Thorn Chamber of Commerce demonstrated on the street at the entrance-carrying people, loading, locking the bike, and changing the wheels , chains, etc.

Later, when the steward of the Thorn Chamber of Commerce saw that there were about the same number of onlookers, he began to invite some people to ride a bike to experience it for themselves.

No one can resist the charm of bicycles.

What's more, the promotional slogan for bicycles hung by the Thorn Chamber of Commerce is still - "Make life easier and shorten the distance between cities."

"Take your loved ones through the streets and alleys, feel the breeze blowing, the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming, and you are free."

The promotional slogans are eclectic and completely hook people's itch.

Especially after the guys from the Thorn Chamber of Commerce showed the difference between carrying a person in the back seat or carrying a person on the front beam, the eyes of the men present were obviously brightened.

Ladies are a little shy.

Corresponding to the riding attire, the Chamber of Commerce also launched cycling pants, most of which are women's middle class.

In view of the fact that the manufacture of bicycles is not so easy now, the final price is not low, at least not a price that ordinary people can easily accept.

At least ordinary people have to think twice if they want to buy a bicycle, and they really have enough money.

For a while, bicycles became the most expensive and luxurious things in the territory of Designia.

Xia Zuoyi sent it to Orville and Archibald as a gift, and it didn't take long before he received a reply from them—it was a very interesting thing, and he hoped it would be promoted among them.

Xia Zuoyi naturally agreed to all of them, and discussed with them how to deal.

Today, he has almost mastered most of the territories on the Western Continent, and the owners of the rest of the territories have a close relationship with him—he intends to completely abolish slavery and restore the freedom and equality of all slaves.

For this matter, he hoped to get the public support of Orville, Queen Minina, and the King of Powell.

The last letter was sent to the extreme north by the Youth League.

In fact, there are no slaves in Powell, but Xia Zuoyi wants to get Gena Cosmo's open attitude on this matter.

As long as everyone affirms one thing, the hindrance to this matter will be minimized.

Gener really didn't have any opinion.

As a result, a notarial certificate jointly signed by the Archduke Achiayoli, the King of Powell, and the Kingdom of Anas, promoted by the lord of Designia, came out.

——Slavery that lasted for a hundred years will be completely abolished from this moment.

All the slaves rejoiced, the ordinary civilians clapped their hands and congratulated, the nobles had nothing to do with themselves, and some dared not speak out when their interests were touched.

The news of the abolition of slavery was blown to all corners of the Western Continent.

It is a day that people will remember.

And the name Xia Zuoyi Designia is more worthy of being engraved on the books, stone tablets, iron scrolls, etc. that pass on history, etc. on all the important things that are recorded and circulated.
