Become a feudal king from today

"Your Highness, please give me your permission." Yang He looked expectant.

"You go to Jinling and hold an exhibition with Dong An."

Zhao Xu said to Yang He.

"Exhibition?" Yang He frowned.

Zhao Xu nodded, "Just find a place with a lot of people and display the palace's goods."

He still attaches great importance to this exhibition.

After all, after a battle with the powerful clan, he basically won the entire market of Dasong.

His goods will travel unhindered in Dasong from now on.

Therefore, if this exhibition is successfully held, it will bring huge orders to the palace.

Yanzhou's financial problems will be greatly alleviated.

"I see, I understand," Yang He said with a smile, "Speaking of which, I miss Dong An a little bit, hehe."

Zhao Xu said: "Except that he is not in Yanzhou, he is living like a fish in water in Jinling."

In order to get the news about Jinling in a timely manner, he had already asked Xu Ke to include several members of Yanwei among them.

Soon, Yanwei's hotpot restaurant will open in Jinling.

By then, news exchanges between Yanzhou and Jinling will become more frequent.

He can also keep abreast of the developments in the capital.

Because of this, he still knew exactly what Dong An was doing at Yanzhou Trading Company.

"Yes, Jinling is so prosperous, this boy will not let himself suffer." Yang He glanced at his mouth.

Nodding, he said to Yang He: "You will set off in the next two days. By the way, prepare some specially to send to the palace, and you must send them before the exhibition starts."

He was creating an illusion for Zhao Heng.

The relationship between him, the prince, and his emperor remained unaffected.

Since everyone is using each other, superficial work still needs to be done.

After all, he can't break away from Dasong, and he needs Dasong's market to provide him with a steady stream of money to develop his territory.

And when his fleet sets sail and occupies a certain overseas market, he will show off his sharp claws.

Let Zhao Heng know that he cannot manipulate things at will.

After a few more instructions, Zhao Xu asked Yang He to leave.

Yang He turned around to leave, but Zhao Xu suddenly stopped him.

"Wait a minute, in addition to this bottle of fine wine, I plan to give you another piece of merchandise to take to Aurous Hill." Zhao Xu said.

His fiefdom expanded to four counties, and the construction of these four counties naturally required a lot of money.

Taking advantage of this exhibition, the more merchandise we can naturally launch, the better.

The thing he wanted to give Yang He was not complicated, but it would definitely make money.

"New merchandise!" Yang He's eyes suddenly widened when he heard this.

Zhao Xu didn't say much, "Just go back and wait. I will leave it to you in the next two days."

"Yes, Your Highness." Yang He exulted and passed away.

After watching Yang He leave, Zhao Xu rested for a while.

In the afternoon, he went to the Military Division.

One is to create new commercial goods, and the other is to do what Wang Ying told Wang Ying last time.

When he arrived at the Military Division, he directly mentioned the mercury column issue.

Wang Ying heard this and smiled proudly, "To be honest with Your Highness, have you ordered the craftsmen to make this first original ruler?"

"Did it happen?" Zhao Xu was shocked when he heard this.

Wang Ying nodded, "Seeing that His Highness has been busy with lectures in the school these days, I boldly tried it myself. Just as His Highness said, after trying it several times, the height of the mercury column is almost the same."

While talking, Wang Ying led Zhao Xu into a room.

In the middle of the room, there was a thin, rough glass tube.

Most of the volume in the glass tube is occupied by mercury.

This is exactly a rough measure of mercury.

Then Wang Ying spoke to an official.

The official left and soon came over with a straight bamboo ruler.

There are horizontal marks on the bamboo ruler, which are shorter in millimeters and longer in centimeters. They are basically the same as contemporary rulers.

"Okay, it's me who underestimates you." Zhao Xu was very pleased.

Ancient craftsmen were actually very smart.

Otherwise they would not have created the astounding exquisite craftsmanship of riveting and porcelain.

In modern times, they are just living under a failed system, so they have declined in modern times because they have not climbed the technological tree.

In fact, just show them the way.

They will accomplish amazing things.

The same is true in Dasong.

Wang Ying and the craftsmen of the Bingzhan Division just lacked guidance.

Give them a blueprint and they can achieve it too.

This original ruler is proof that from now on, he should trust their abilities even more.

"Your Highness has praised me, but I have actually failed many times." Wang Ying said with a smile.

After all, dividing this ruler into 760 equal parts is a difficult project.

He hired ten craftsmen to specialize in carving, and within seven days they almost went crazy.

In the end, only one was evenly scaled, meeting his requirements.

"Well, failure is the mother of success. From now on, you should engrave this sentence on the wall of the Bingzhan Division so that everyone in the Bingzhan Division will remember it." Zhao Xu said.

Failure is a summary of successful experience. If you fail too much, success will not be far away.

"Your Highness's words touched my heart deeply." When Wang Ying heard the words, he suddenly felt that he had said something deep in his heart.

This is what he has always taught Wang Chong.

Zhao Xu smiled and nodded. What he admired was Wang Ying's quality, wearability.

After the original ruler was built, it was time for him to build the vernier caliper.

With this thing in hand, the next step is for the craftsman to polish the drill bit.

After all, drill bits still have certain requirements for accuracy.

So he asked Wang Ying to get a pen and paper and draw the vernier caliper on the paper.

Building a vernier caliper is actually not difficult, the difficulty lies in the scale.

But now that the original ruler has come out, the difficulty is gone.

Just take the original ruler and engrave it on the steel bar.

Wang Ying looked at the graphics on the drawing and nodded slightly.

In his opinion, this vernier caliper is just the shape of multiple horizontal knives at one end of the ruler, and a buckle is forged to fit on the ruler.

Although it is more complicated, craftsmen can polish it.

"According to this, the vernier caliper is made, and the manufacturing of the flintlock gun is on schedule." Zhao Xu said.

Even though he wanted to have everything right away.

But in this poor place, he could only establish a fine handicraft industry step by step.

Then develop more complex machinery on this basis.

After talking about this matter, Zhao Xu added: "This time, I have one more thing that I want to do with you."

"Do it together?" Wang Ying was curious.

King Yan rarely develops things with them now. He mostly lets them explore on their own and only provides guidance.

Zhao Xu nodded, "Go to the glass shop first and get some glass. This thing is related to glass."

Wang Ying nodded and immediately ordered the officials to get it.

Taking advantage of this time, Zhao Xu told Wang Ying what he wanted to do and the principle.

The more Wang Ying listened, the more surprised he became, "How can it still be like this?"
