"Sure," Jian Qingqing said with a smile. "I'll go back and design a very high-end one for you. I won't charge you much."
The Emperor was overjoyed and laughed. "Ding'an is really my hero!"
The bicycles designed for the ministers naturally had to be unique and different from ordinary bicycles. They also had to look high-class so that the officials would be willing to buy them. Otherwise, with the price, even if the Emperor requested to buy them, they would feel that they were a big injustice and might even hold a grudge against her. So this job was not easy.
After Jian Qingqing went back, she stayed in the study, holding a pen and thinking.
In order to reduce the cost of ordinary bicycles, she made simpler ones. The wheels were smaller, the body was less fancy, and the wood was not expensive, but the lifespan of this kind of bicycle might not be that long.
To make it look more worthwhile, the wheels were one size bigger than ordinary ones.
