35. Swallows fly

Luo Yong originally set a relatively affordable price of 300 cents to make it easier to promote the bicycle. Because the whole car is made of wood and bamboo, plus some linen and sheepskin, the cost was not high.

When Guo An and the others came, although they knew that these noble men were rich in their pockets, they were not good at treating people as suckers.

"Sanlang, what's the name of this car?" Guo An asked.

"Yan'erfei." Luo Yong replied with a smile.

Outside the courtyard, Hengyu and his son were instructing the villagers to make chains and wheel pads. Since Luo Yong gave Hengyu the drawing, Hengyu asked someone to bring a message and called his two sons over. From then on, the three of them have been living in the yard there.

Earlier, Luo Yong told Heng Yu that he did not want to be the one in his own name. If Heng Yu was willing, he would use his name.

When Heng Yu heard this, he was very moved. As for Luo Yong's name on the car and was ridden by someone, he didn't care at all. So what if he was ridden by someone? Then Mr. Xie was still stepped on by someone.

But his heart is moved, and Heng Yu has been thinking about it for the past two days, but he still thinks it is inappropriate at this time. Although his Heng family is not famous, he is also innocent from generation to generation. Now if he does this impersonation, his children and grandchildren will be proud of it... It will be ashamed to think about it, and I am afraid that he will not be at ease in the underworld.

Although his master said that he did not want to be the one who was named after himself, it was something he had come up with after all. If he had put his name on it, people in the world would think it was something he made of Hengyu. If he didn't do that and gave the car another name, others would ask, "This car is very good, who made it?"

After thinking about it, Heng Yu still didn't put his name on the car.

Luo Yong was also surprised when he learned about this.

In his opinion, this is a good opportunity to become famous. If he doesn't want it, he will call Hengyu to the top. He will not flow from the outside world. If his disciples are developed, he will be a master. If he can cultivate all these disciples, he will be a master in the future. His social status and the power that he can use in the future are absolutely incomparable to today.

Therefore, Luo Yong believes that investing in these disciples will be rewarding. As for betraying the masters, few people will do that these days. In this era, ordinary people will not even think about this.

At this time, people clearly distinguish good and evil. There is no absolute saying of good and evil in later generations. The evil is the evil. Once he is branded as a evil person, the whole society cannot tolerate him. In the eyes of these people at that time, the behavior of betraying the master was absolutely evil so bad that he could not be evil anymore.

As a result, Heng Yu said that he was unwilling to put his name on the car. Luo Yong persuaded him, but he did not persuade him.

While I felt regretful, I also felt a little emotional. I felt a little more respect for the disciple in front of me. Looking back on himself, the reason why he refused to put his name on this car was because the car was not invented by him after all. He was just a time traveler who came here with space, but not the inventor.

Thinking of this, it turned out that Luo Yong looked down on others, so he felt a little ashamed.

Yan Erfei, this is the new name that Luo Yong and Heng Yu gave to the car after some discussion.

"Yan'erfei, this name is very good." The men from Chang'an praised. When they first saw this car, wouldn't they be like the light and fast swallow?

"Yes." Luo Yong smiled. It's not called Luo Bus or Heng Bus, but just called Yan Erfei, which is also very good.

Guo An and others were itchy and wanted to try Yan'erfei, so Luo Yong called Hengyu's eldest son Henghuai over: "The carmaker is named Hengyu, this person is named Henghuai, and he is his eldest son, and his second son is Hengzhi. I will let Henghuai lead you to try Yan'erfei."

Heng Yu's two sons are a little extroverted. At first glance, they are a cheerful middle-aged uncle who is good at dealing with people. The second son Heng Zhi looks a bit dull, but he is very good at making fine objects, such as gears, and in some aspects, his skills have surpassed his father Heng Yu.

Luo Yong knew that these noble men were very new to Yan Erfei at this moment. He was afraid that it would take most of the day to try. He didn't want to go, so he asked Henghuai to accompany him. If he talked about riding a bicycle, there was nothing better than Henghuai.

When this uncle was young, he had a good relationship with many young men in the county town. He could get rid of horses from them. Two days ago, Luo Yong saw him riding on a bicycle and playing horseback, which was really eye-opening. It was the most appropriate to let him play with these young men.

Henghuai loved to play Yan'erfei very much. When Luo Yong called himself to lead these young men to play, he happily led the sample car in the yard. The young men and their servants also followed him.

After leaving the Luo family yard, everyone came to a small flat ground outside the entrance of the village. Heng Huai didn't say anything. He got on the car and rode for a while. He saw him stepping on the car quickly, turning left and right, very handsome.

The men looked at it and said that they would get in the car and try it. So Henghuai explained to them the way Yan Erfei rode, especially the importance of brakes, and told them that if they were unstable, they would brake in time so that they would not fall.

Even so, the nobles and men fell a lot, and they still had to climb up and continue riding. When someone finally could ride the bike around the flat ground, the others were very inspired and learned more.

Unfortunately, there was only one Yan'erfei. Several men were able to learn, and the servants were only jealous. When the men were tired, it was their turn to try.

At this time, Guo An, the servant named Du Yishan, rode onto the bike. Although this guy is big, his hands and feet are very flexible and his sense of balance is good. After a few attempts, he rode smoothly. Many servants from other men next to him watched and applauded him.

When they shouted, Du Yishan rode harder and stepped on his feet. He swung his speed. When he encountered a dirt pit, he could not turn. He kicked his legs and pressed directly over, encountered a pile of mud, pressed over, encountered a grass, pressed over...

"Click!" Such a domineering riding technique finally broke the chain.

"What, why did it go wrong..." Du Yishan finally realized that he was scared. Yan Erfei could get three hundred coins. Those husbands who came from Chang'an City naturally didn't take this money into consideration, but for him, Du Yishan, this was definitely a huge sum of money.

"Oh, why is this car broken?" The men and women who were chatting and resting all looked over at this time.

"Nothing happened." Heng Huai walked over, looked at it, and said, "The car chain is broken, so change it."

He reached out and took out a car chain from his arms, took out a small stick as a tool, replaced the broken chain in a few strokes, put the chain on again, turned the pedal, and said, "That's all."

"It seems that this chain is not very useful," said a man.

"Although this iron bamboo is good, it is not really iron after all. If you guys want that sturdy one, you can exchange the chain and other parts on the car with fine iron. However, we cannot make such things in Lishi County." Iron tools are originally very rare. The local consumption level in Lishi County is limited, and every household has few iron tools. Apart from kitchen knives and farm tools, no one will be able to make fine things, nor are they so powerful blacksmiths.

"It's also a big blame for my servant's use of force. If I use it in the city, there will be enough such a car." Guo An said.

"Just when we came from the county town just now, we saw two riding cars on the road," said a young man.

"From here to Lishi County, the road is quite flat. Just put a few chains in your arms just in case." Heng Huai said with a smile.

Luo used the chain jokes he collected from others for two cents. This is the purpose.

Although they have also made requirements for the size and size of the chain, the things made by different people will still be different in the end. The chain jokes they have collected are big and small. Anyone who wants to buy them can choose them, just pick the one that suits their car.

Luo Yong now charges those loose chains for two cents and ten sections. If someone makes a whole chain and sells them, the price will be higher. A chain of ninety sections, which is ten times the amount of this section, can be sold ranging from twenty to twenty cents. It depends on the quality of the other party's chain. If the quality is too bad, then he will not accept it.

Not only the chain and wheel pads, they also plan to send out many of Yan'erfei's parts to others for making, such as the foot pedals, brake pads, seat cushions, etc.

When Luo Sanlang first talked about this to them, the Heng father and son did not understand it very well. However, Luo Sanlang said that there are not many people who can afford such cars in their local area. It is better to send all these things out and ask some people who want cars but have no money and food to exchange them for the cars by making parts, and then they then make the earned parts into cars to make profits.

The reason why the price is so low is that it is to promote it locally, and the other is to seize the foreign market. In Lishi County, a Yan'erfei costs only 300 cents. Even if the foreigners imitate it, can they achieve cheaper and better quality than them?

The Heng family and his son were both carpenters, so they naturally knew that if all the parts of the car were made by themselves, the time cost would be relatively high, and craftsmen with poor craftsmanship would probably not be able to make it. If someone had to spend money to hire the craftsman with superb skills to create a Yanerfei, the cost would naturally be quite high.

Like them now, they try to transfer the manufacturing of these parts to the surplus labor force in rural areas and towns within a radius of hundreds of miles. Not only does their cost reduce, but many people who have no income in their families can also earn money and grain. In this way, mass production is easier. In the future, Yan Erfei, produced in Lishi County, will definitely be more competitive than other places.

In Lishi County, many people now know that if you want to buy Yanerfei, you have to go to Luo Sanlang in Xipo Village. After the time is long, it should be more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. In the future, even if there are competitors in their area, it will be difficult to be stronger than them.

In this way, the road to money is wide and far.

After thinking through this, the Heng father and son admired Luo Sanlang even more. There were sages in ancient times, and their intelligence was much more than ordinary people. Now, Luo Sanlang is not inferior to that.
