Along with a cold wave coming from the north, Chang'an City entered winter.

The trees on both sides of Zhuque Street have lost their leaves. Occasionally, there are a few crows shouting "Wow! Wow! Wow!" on the branches.

However, although the weather has gotten colder, the flow of people on the streets shows no sign of decreasing.

To describe the people of Chang'an City today as having no worries about food and clothing may be a bit exaggerated.

But at least they won’t be starved of food and clothing.

In particular, the popularity of woolen threads and the introduction of cotton cotton coats have given people many more options for keeping warm.

In addition, the number of workshops in Chang'an City has continued to increase in recent years, and there have been many more opportunities for everyone to make money. There is no problem in buying a thick winter coat.

"jingle!"

"jingle!"

The crisp ringing sound rang from the street from time to time.

Compared with the sound of horse hooves, the sound of bicycle bells is obviously more pleasant to the ears.

"Wu Guo, with this bicycle, it will be much more convenient for us to inspect various BreadTalk branches."

Fang Yiyu and Wu Guo, each riding a bicycle, were speeding down the street.

As the two girls who had a close relationship with the Chu Palace, they had long accepted the formal costumes designed by Li Kuan.

Although they are not wearing the uniform style popular among brothel girls, they wear khaki straight trousers, paired with pink woolen jackets and fox fur vests, giving them a heroic look.

If they hadn't been followed by a pair of guards, many people would have stopped them to "ask for directions."

"It's convenient, but if the weather continues to get colder, it will be more comfortable to take a four-wheel carriage."

Wu Guo felt that his face was chilled by the cold wind, and he was a little worried that his skin would crack.

"That's true. But as long as it doesn't snow and you wear gloves and a hat, it doesn't really matter how cold the weather is."

Fang Yiyu has a bit of Fang Yiai's personality, but she doesn't look like a lady at all.

If it weren't for Fang Yizhi's somewhat paternal demeanor, Fang Xuanling and his wife would probably be pissed to death by their children.

"I heard that there are a lot more people coming to BreadTalk for afternoon tea these days than usual. When the weather is cold, make a pot of black tea, sit on the window seat on the second floor of BreadTalk, and have some

A donut, that seems pretty good."

Wu Guo is now focused on BreadTalk and is very aware of every change in the store.

Unlike Fang Yiyu, she is completely passionate for three minutes.

On a whim, I took Wu Guo around to various stores.

Looking back, I probably couldn't remember that I was one of the owners of BreadTalk for ten and a half days.

"When you say that, I feel a little hungry."

Fang Yiyu and Wu Guo were chatting and riding their bicycles skillfully.

As long as you overcome the initial fear of riding a bicycle, you can quickly get started with it.

And as long as you ride it a few times, you will become a proficient rider.

On the street, there were many people riding bicycles like Fang Yiyu and others.

…

In the newspaper compound of "Datang Daily", a row of specially-made bicycles are parked there.

Different from the common bicycles on the street, these bicycles in the yard have two wooden boxes specially installed on both sides of the back seat.

Needless to say, these wooden boxes must have been used to hold newspapers.

In order to improve the efficiency of newspaper delivery, King Luo Bin specifically communicated with Wang Xuance and found a permanent bicycle workshop to customize a batch of bicycles.

For "Datang Daily", it is definitely more appropriate to use four-wheeled carriages to transport newspapers from Chang'an City to Luoyang, Liangzhou and other places.

But for transportation between shops in Chang'an City, bicycles are more convenient.

Especially when the newspapers arrive at the shop, they have to be delivered to the doorsteps of the people who specially ordered them, or to the newspaper sales points of various briquette shops. Without a suitable means of transportation, the efficiency is relatively low.

"Xuance, I really need to thank you this time. The permanent bicycle workshop's production capacity is so tight, so it took time to make this batch of bicycles for us."

Luo Binwang saw the newspaper delivery employee methodically loading bundles of newspapers into the boxes on both sides of the back seat of the bicycle, and then quickly left the compound, with a smile on his face.

"Sightseeing, you are very polite. Rather than helping you make bicycles, I would rather thank you for finding a new use case for bicycles. The prince attaches more importance to bicycles than any other workshop in the past.

It needs to be higher. According to his plan, our permanent bicycle workshop will at least become a super large workshop with annual sales of over one million, which puts a lot of pressure on me."

Wang Xuance's speaking skills are naturally not comparable to those of ordinary people.

It was obviously helping the "Datang Daily", but it still made people feel that it was not embarrassing at all.

Of course, what Wang Xuance said is not false.

"Datang Daily" took the lead in using bicycles to transport newspapers in Chang'an City. Other newspapers such as "Chang'an Evening News" and "Qujiang Daily" saw this and must have followed suit.

This can be regarded as finding a new usage scenario for bicycles.

"Although bicycles don't look complicated, they actually involve a lot of things. For example, the bearings and chains are very difficult to make, and the requirements for steel are also very high. The more Forever bicycles are sold, the more various workshops will

The more experience we can accumulate, the more we can eventually bring Datang's industrial level to a new level."

As the person in charge of "Datang Daily", Luo Binwang's scientific outlook is naturally not bad.

In fact, the people related to the Chu Palace are considered to be some of the people with the strongest scientific outlook in this era.

"Yes, I heard that several research institutes in Guanshishan Academy are studying some new things. But because the technology is not advanced enough or for various other reasons, there has been no way to produce results. These days

, Your Majesty frequently goes to the academy to give lessons to the students, just to give you more inspiration. I have a hunch that in a few years, something unprecedented will appear in Chang'an City."

Although Wang Xuance was not particularly clear about what was going on in Guanshishan Academy, as a member of the Chu Palace with a special status, he still knew something about it.

In particular, the steam engine developed by Li Kuan attracted Wang Xuance's attention.

"I think so. In order to make the people of Chang'an City more interested in various things, I plan to add a page to the "Datang Daily" to introduce various scientific terms and scientific knowledge. The prince even suggested that we

The newspaper is soliciting science fiction articles from everyone in Chang'an City and publishing them in the newspaper as a new serial."

"Science fiction?"
