Chapter 62 The Emperor's Eight Riding a Motorcycle to the South of the Yangtze River
Chapter 62 The emperor’s eight motorcycles went to the south of the Yangtze River
"What do you want to do when you join the New Army? Create slaves! I understand!
A group of people who are greedy for life and afraid of death, faced with alien plunder, even gave up their generous food and salary because of a side incident. What about their bloodshed to make contributions as men?
Not bad, not bad, Qin Aiqing, Cao Aiqing, and Li Aiqing, you haven't failed me yet.
This Jingying, this Jingying is just like the shop owner said, stretching the crotch, stretching the crotch to the extreme, worse than a group of eunuchs!"
When Chongzhen was reminded by Chen Ye, he remembered that he had told several governors that the new army would go out to kill Jiannu in the future.
Now that Jiannu is taking the initiative to attack, the people in the capital must have thought that they would immediately go to the battlefield after entering the new army.
Fortunately for him, there are still men in the army who are willing to believe in the court and who are willing to believe that they can make great achievements.
"Old Zhu, don't think about it. Can the current imperial court still allow people to make meritorious deeds? Apart from the general soldiers who drink the blood of soldiers, there are a few who really have clear rewards and punishments."
Chen Ye casually said to Chongzhen that this group of troops in the Beijing camp were originally related households who were just waiting to die, and many of them were family members who were hired by the general banner of hundreds of households to take their seats and receive salary.
It is unrealistic to expect such troops to be warlike.
Li Ruolian below listened to Chen Ye's address to Chongzhen and his conversation, and he didn't dare to get angry at all.
"In this case, Li Aiqing, after you go down, inform the departments selected by the New Army and allow five more days for the selection of the New Army.
The final candidates will be determined before March 15th, and then arrange for them to prepare the land in Beicheng and wait for the shop owner to bring the general tent."
"I understand, I will go down and inform you now."
"go Go."
Chongzhen waved to Li Ruolian, and after Li Ruolian left, he and Chen Ye walked out of the Qianqing Palace and waited in the open space for Chen Ye to take out his bicycle.
"Shopkeeper, this is fine."
Chen Ye took the bicycle out of the display window. It was a big item and different from consumables, so the price increased five or six times.
"It's just this thing. It doesn't use any energy and only needs two legs. It can be easily ridden. The price is not expensive. It only costs more than 3,000 yuan."
"Wonderful, this kind of traveling vehicle is faster than a sedan chair and takes less effort than walking. It is not as frightened as horses in the city. It also saves money by not having to eat food and grass.
And unlike a car, it requires a wide road and has to accommodate people, and it doesn’t require gasoline. Well, it’s not expensive, and it’s excellent.”
Chongzhen saw Chen Ye riding his bicycle back and forth between the spacious palace walls. He clapped his hands and praised him. With the eunuch here, he would not directly say that one or two gold can buy ten bicycles.
"Gao Banban, go and learn to ride a bicycle."
"Ah? Your Majesty, I, I don't dare."
Gao Yushun heard Chongzhen's words and looked at the bicycle that had put down its stand, feeling a natural fear.
"Don't you dare? Study hard from me. If you don't dare, why don't you learn? You can ride a horse but you can't ride a bicycle."
Do you want the shop owner to perform in front of others when selling this item in the future?"
"I know I'm wrong, I'll go right away."
Gao Yushun looked at Chongzhen's darkened face, quickly apologized, walked to the front of the bicycle cautiously, and carefully imitated Chen Ye's behavior before riding on.
As soon as his feet came off the ground, he felt unsteady and almost fell. He quickly landed on the ground again and looked at Chen Ye with a cry for help.
"Eunuch Gao, don't be afraid, you can ask the two young eunuchs to help you support you."
After Gao Yushun heard this, he quickly got off the car and ran to the side. He called the two servants who had been asked to leave. They supported Gao Yushun on the left and the right, and finally started riding with stumbling.
"Lao Zhu, how are you?"
"Not bad, not bad. As expected, I learned quickly. According to what the shop owner said, I gave this car to my right-hand man in the imperial court, and then made it the flagship product of the Ming Dynasty Royal Company."
Chongzhen saw that Gao Yushun was gradually able to ride on his own with the support of the young eunuch, and nodded with satisfaction. As long as this thing is not difficult to learn, it can be quickly promoted.
The most important thing is that using this thing as a reward can save a lot of rewards. He happened to be short of money and didn't know how to reward Ma Xianglin, who came over, and the cabinet ministers who had been following him recently.
Now with this unprecedented bicycle, you can enjoy it with less than a tael of gold, look impressive, and can also do publicity.
Chongzhen is as frugal as ever.
When Chen Ye heard Chongzhen's thoughts, he pictured in his mind that in the morning in the capital, all the ministers who were qualified to go to court were riding bicycles on the streets, followed by a group of servants.
The picture is so beautiful, will the Ming Emperor ride eight motorcycles to the south of the Yangtze River in the future?
"Speaking of business names, did the prince clean up the original place?"
"Shopkeeper, wait a minute, I'll ask."
Chongzhen skillfully pressed the black button on his chest. After the intercom sounded, he began to speak to Wang Chengen's intercom that was being set up on Huichang Street.
On Huichang Street, Wang Chengen commanded the construction team from the Beijing camp to clean up the shops that had been demolished into ruins.
"The Zajia family finally understands what kind of profession the shop owner is talking about. This group of killers can't be trained by asking them to fight, but are they really good at demolishing houses with money?"
Just as I was thinking about it, a housekeeper came over with a walkie-talkie.
"Eunuch, the emperor called just now."
"Your Majesty, has the call been completed? Your Majesty is looking for Zajia, and you actually gave him time to complete the call."
"Oh, little one is wrong, little one is wrong."
After Wang Chengen kicked Nei Shi, he quickly hit Chongzhen back.
After Wang Chengen finished his report, Chongzhen relayed it to Chen Ye.
"Shop owner, the store has been basically flattened and clean, and we are just waiting for you to arrange to start construction."
"There is no need to arrange construction. I ordered a steel-frame sunroom, which is the kind of steel-frame glass house that has already been built. It can be transferred directly."
"Sunroom? Okay, it sounds very, very grand at first glance."
Chongzhen couldn't figure out what it was. Although the system could directly take away the house, he had no concept of the so-called sunroom.
Then Chongzhen thought of something and looked at Chen Ye.
"Shopkeeper, I have a question for you."
"?you say."
Chen Ye looked at Chongzhen with a puzzled expression, not knowing what he wanted to ask.
"Shopkeeper, you should have made several times the profit from the supplies you sold to me, right?"
"?Indeed, but Lao Zhu, you have to let me earn something, right? The recycling price I give you is real."
Chen Ye looked directly at Chongzhen and didn't understand what he meant, let alone how he figured it out. However, he was not afraid that Chongzhen would fall out, and Chongzhen couldn't catch him anyway.
"I'm not saying that you make too much, I just want to ask, why do you still give me such a low price when you know that you can make dozens of times these things and still let me make a lot of money?"
Chongzhen quickly explained that as a suspicious emperor, he would naturally doubt whether the goods Chen Ye gave him were treating him as a traitor and making hundreds of times more money.
But based on the occasional chatter, as well as the occasional reality TV series in the various videos given by Chen Ye, he could guess that Chen Ye should have doubled or tripled the number.
He had private discussions with Li Ruolian and Wang Chengen about this, but he didn't talk about the shop owner, but the resale price, and the final conclusion was this.
Chen Ye's earning two or three times is completely reasonable, friendly, and completely worthy of Chongzhen.
If it had been him, Chongzhen, or Wang Chengen and Li Ruolian, a two-dollar lighter would have been sold directly for twenty taels of gold.
