Chapter 16 Got it~~ Brother~~~
on the way back.

Gu Qingwan's beautiful face looked at Lu Yuan who was at the side full of admiration and said:
"My lord, this bike is really amazing.

In this way, every household has a horse, which does not need to be fed and can go anywhere easily. "

Seeing the expression on Gu Qingwan's beautiful face, Lu Yuan grinned proudly and said:

"What the heck, the most powerful thing is the tricycle."

Tricycle?
Gu Qingwan blinked her beautiful eyes and said:

"What is a tricycle?"

Lu Yuan said:
"The front is like a bicycle, and the back is a small compartment. It can pull a lot of cargo. It's like having fun pulling a load of two to three hundred kilograms by one person."

Listening to Lu Yuan's words, Gu Qingwan was a little puzzled.

Because from Gu Qingwan's point of view, this thing seems to be nothing, right?

After all, ox carts can also pull goods, and horse-drawn carts can also pull goods.

Even if it's a one-wheeled wooden cart, if it's loaded with hundreds of kilograms of rice, everyone can push it.

Anyway, what Lu Yuan said, in Gu Qingwan's opinion, is definitely not as shocking as that bicycle.

But Lu Yuan looked at Gu Qingwan's strange appearance, shook his head with a smile and said:
"Do you think this tricycle is nothing?
Anyway, ox carts, horse-drawn carts can also be replaced?
No, no.

This tricycle will change the economic model of the entire Lieqian Dynasty~"

Economic model?

So what is it.

Gu Qingwan didn't understand.

However, at the end of the day, Gu Qingwan heard too many new words from Lu Yuan.

And every time Lu Yuan explained it, Gu Qingwan would be greatly shocked.

This time, Gu Qingwan quickly sat down and waited for Lu Yuan to explain.

That well-behaved look is really cute.

Lu Yuan looked at Gu Qingwan in front of him, grinned, and said:
"The cargo transportation of the Liegan Dynasty now depends entirely on horses or cattle.

Not to mention the trouble and cost of raising these two kinds of livestock.

Just say how many horses and cows can we have? "

Gu Qingwan blinked her beautiful eyes and listened carefully.

Lu Yuan continued to say seriously:
"As for the unicycle, it can only be pushed for a short distance, from East Street to West Street.

But if it is pushed from the imperial city to Haijin, it will be really exhausting, and the speed is slower than that of a bullock cart.

But a tricycle can, and the price of a tricycle is only a few taels of silver.

The cost is low and the speed is equivalent to that of a horse-drawn carriage, so the transportation cost will be reduced.

If transportation costs are reduced, everyone's life will become richer. "

transportation cost?

rich?

Gu Qingwan's head was filled with big question marks at this time.

Gu Qingwan had never heard of these things.

The books she read at home before were all poetry, poetry, and words of saints.

These are really not well understood.

And Lu Yuan continued with a smile:
“There is an old saying that if you want to get rich, you must first build roads.

Why do you want to get rich first and build roads?

test you. "

Seeing Lu Yuan asking herself, Gu Qingwan was stunned for a moment.

This……

Gu Qingwan really didn't know this.

Even Gu Qingwan didn't know where this ancient saying came from.

Why have I never heard of it?
Gu Qingwan saw Lu Yuan looking at her with a smile, as if teasing herself.

Gu Qingwan couldn't help but act coquettishly and said:
"My son, don't be a fool~~"

Over the course of the day, Gu Qingwan's inadvertent act of coquettishness toward Lu Yuan became more and more frequent.

And Lu Yuan said with a hey smile:
"Listen up.

The saying "If you want to get rich, build roads first" refers to the importance of the circulation of goods.

Without roads, things inside your valleys cannot be sold, and things outside are hard to come in.

Take our journey from the Imperial City to Haijin as an example. Although there is a wide and large official road between us, without a large number of transportation means, there is no road."

Gu Qingwan nodded slightly thoughtfully.

And Lu Yuan continued:

"For example, let's talk about the swimming crabs in Haijin City. The swimming crabs in Haijin City are in our imperial city. A male crab of four taels costs seventy renminbi.

Remember that a male crab costs [-] renminbi!

If it's a New Year or a holiday, the price may even rise to more than one yuan, and the price will directly double.

But do you know how much the fishermen in Haijin City just got back from the sea and sell them out?
One pound is only eighteen cents.

How many times does the price differ? "

Gu Qingwan was startled for a moment, and then immediately calculated in her head.

However, Lu Yuan waved his hands and said:

"Don't count, it doesn't matter how many times the difference is, what matters is why the price is so different?

Due to transportation problems, the price of swimming crabs is very different between dead and alive.

Transporting it from Haijin to the Imperial City requires speed.

Otherwise, if you die from lack of oxygen on the road, the meat of the swimming crab will be unpalatable.

Even later, after the crab is cooked, when the crab cover is opened, there is no meat inside, and it is a seawater.

So there are only a few big restaurants in our imperial city that hire horse-drawn carriages, and go to Haijin to buy swimming crabs for the rich to eat.

But although this thing is so expensive in the imperial city, it doesn't matter to the fishermen by the sea. "

At this time, Gu Qingwan seemed to understand a little bit, she wanted to open her mouth to say something, but she couldn't bear to interrupt Lu Yuan.

Can only nod again and again.

And Lu Yuan continued:

"The reason is that not many people buy it, and it can only be used by people in Haijin City.

But what if there are tricycles in the future?

The transportation cost is reduced, and a large number of swimming crabs can be quickly transported to the imperial city.

The price of sea crabs in the imperial city will naturally drop rapidly from seventy cents a piece.

Ordinary people will be able to afford it

Ordinary people can also enjoy the taste of sea crab.

And as the people in the imperial city can eat swimming crabs, will the swimming crabs in Haijin City still cost eighteen dollars a catty?
Naturally not, the price will definitely rise sharply, and the fishermen in Haijin will naturally benefit. "

After Lu Yuan finished speaking, Gu Qingwan now looked at Lu Yuan with nothing but admiration in his eyes.

In Gu Qingwan's eyes, this son is simply not human!

is God!

Shock, in addition to shock or shock.

Whether it is the bicycles made today or the development of bicycles in the future, it will change the entire Liegan Dynasty.

This was too shocking to Gu Qingwan.

As the eldest daughter of the family, her father is the current Chief Assistant Gu Shiqing.

Gu Qingwan has had various teachers and great scholars come to teach her since she was a child.

Among them, Bufan included people who had previously taught the prince.

But there has never been any gentleman, a great Confucian, who can shock Gu Qingwan so much.

These things cannot be learned at all from books.

Besides, Gu Qingwan was not only shocked by Lu Yuan's profound knowledge.

And the prince actually knows how much crabs in Haijin cost per pound?
How could the prince know about such things in the market?
Didn't everyone say that the son of the world only looks for flowers and willows every day, drinking and having fun?
The rumors are all false!

Lu Yuan didn't know what Gu Qingwan was thinking at this time, but he raised his eyebrows slightly and said with air:
"Well, I know there are a lot of things, don't you thank me for telling you this?"

Gu Qingwan was startled, and then quickly said seriously:
"Thank you, my son."

Just when Gu Qingwan was about to say something more, Lu Yuan smiled and said:

"We're so familiar, why do you call him the son of the world? If you have more birth points, you will call him brother in the future. This sounds so kind!"

Gu Qingwan blinked, and then remembered something:

"My eldest son, it seems that we were both born in the 23rd year of Hongwu. I was born in March, and my eldest son seems to have been born in May?

If you say that, then I will be called Master Shizi from now on, brother..."

Before Gu Qingwan finished speaking, Lu Yuan quickly waved his hand and said:
"No, no, even if you are two months older than me, you still have to call me brother!!

As the saying goes, once a teacher, always a father, I have taught you so many things, it’s good that I didn’t let you call me daddy!

Do you still want to be my sister?

Just call me brother, do you hear me? "

When Gu Qingwan looked at Lu Yuan, who had a serious face and was a bit shameless, he covered his mouth and laughed straight away because of being teased.

Lu Yuan glared at Gu Qingwan and said:

"What are you laughing at, I will call you brother in the future, do you hear me?"

On the other hand, Gu Qingwan pursed her lips slightly, and after looking at Lu Yuan for a few seconds, she said in an extremely soft voice:
"I know~~brother~~~"
