Daming: Dad, stop rebelling and stay healthy with me

"Welcome, officer. The

owner of the watch shop greeted me warmly.

"Huh, what are these?" Zhu

Di walked into the store and found that there were all kinds of boxes inside.

Some are large, some are small, and there is an ornament in the middle of the box, some is a magpie, some is an owl, rocking from side to side, and there is a disc on it with two pointers inside.

"Guest officer, this is a clock, which is used to see the time, and you can know the time anytime and anywhere. The shopkeeper said.

Not

only Zhu Di, but Yang Shiqi and others behind Zhu Di were also taken aback and took a closer look.

On the disc, a bunch of strange numbers.

"Shopkeeper, what do you mean by this symbol?" asked Zhu Di.

The shopkeeper explained: "Guest, this is an Arabic numeral, each square is 1 hour, which is equivalent to half an hour, and the 24 hours of a day correspond to 12 hours." So

saying, the shopkeeper took out a comparison chart, and in front of them there was a comparison table of twelve hours and twenty-four hours.

"Can this thing move on its own?" Zhu Di said curiously.

"Of course, you don't need a sundial to know the time. Of course, it has to be clocked every six months. The

shopkeeper took out a wrench, inserted the switch of the clock, and began to wind up for demonstration.

The current Ming Dynasty, look at the time is mainly a sundial, is a big grinding plate, there is a stick in the middle, on the surface of the stone plate carved out 12 grids, each grid represents two hours, the sun shines on the sundial, the shadow of the middle pointer will be cast on the stone surface corresponding

to the time, as at the beginning, it is the leaky pot timing, the Tiantai such an institution, there is a timekeeper to record the time.

Wouldn't it be too convenient to watch the time anytime and anywhere.

"How much does this thing cost?" asked Zhu Di with great joy.

"Guest officer, between five taels and fifty taels of silver, some are expensive and some are cheap. The shopkeeper said.

"It's not expensive!" Zhu Di nodded, and said while taking out the money: "Bring me the most expensive one."

Seeing that this person had a rich and noble appearance, the shopkeeper smiled and said: "Guest officer, in fact, there is a better one in our small shop, you can really see the time anytime and anywhere, you see..."

"It's a watch!" the shopkeeper ran to the counter, took out a delicate box from the ground, and carefully took it out, and there was a boon bag inside.

"This watch can really see the time anytime and anywhere, wear it on your hand, you can see the time anytime and anywhere, Zhu Huangsun of Yunnan, but you can take this thing, you bring it, you are a person with the same status as the emperor and grandson." The boss patted himself on the back and said that he had come from Yunnan to do business.

I have the same identity as the emperor's grandson? Zhu Di was stunned.

"Ahem" Yang Shiqi coughed twice, interrupting the embarrassment.

Zhu Di thought that he was a private interview with Weifu, shook his head helplessly, put the watch on his hand, and carefully figured it out, this watch is even more magical, and there is a pointer in it that keeps moving, and the frequency is the same as an hourglass.

"You can really watch the time anytime and anywhere!" Zhu

Di was shocked. "How much does this watch cost?"

"Guest, this watch is not cheap, we only have one piece in our store, and we will charge you two thousand taels of silver." The shopkeeper said.

"Two thousand taels of silver?" Zhu Di was surprised, this is too expensive, such a big clock is only twenty or thirty taels, and such a small watch actually costs one thousand taels!"

"Guest officer, don't look at him small, but he is convenient, he has face on his hand, the mechanism inside is very fine, it cannot be mass-produced, it is made by hand, and there are not many pieces in the whole Ming Dynasty, if you are too expensive, you should buy a clock." "

The owner of the watch shop saw that he had money, so he took it out, but he didn't expect it and was reluctant.

"Bought it!" Zhu Di put the watch on his hand and said, "I'll ask someone to send the silver later."

"What about that? We don't take credit. "The boss was in a hurry.

Yang Shiqi hurriedly grabbed the boss and whispered: "Brother, our Master Zhu will not send you silver."

"No one, it's too expensive, you can't take it on credit." The boss had a sad face.

"Don't worry, we can't run. Yang Shiqi patted the guy on the shoulder.

Zhu Di frowned, feeling that something was wrong, took out a jade wrench and put it on the table: "Charge you here, can you?"

The boss took the board, took a closer look, it was genuine, and he had to nod: "That's okay, it can't be delayed for too long."

Zhu Di bowed slightly, and asked again: "By the way, what is the principle of your clock, which was developed by you?"

Zhu Di said in his heart, if this person has such a skilled craftsman, he may be able to use it.

"Guest officer, what are you talking about, how can I have this ability, this is the goods purchased in the market. The boss said happily.

"Where did you get the goods?" asked Zhu Di.

"This...."The boss didn't want to reveal his 'trade secrets', shook his head and said: "Guest officer, do you want to do this business...."Zhu

Di laughed: "I don't do business, I just ask."

After saying that, he took out a piece of silver and put it on the table: "Now you can talk about it." The

boss happily stuffed the silver into his arms and said with a smile: "Actually, it's not a secret, this is the goods purchased in the Yunnan small commodity market, if the brother really wants to do this business, he can't do it." The small one has already bought the agency of the 'Beijing brand' watch in Kyoto, and if you want to do it, you can only go to other places to sell the goods.

"Yunnan Small Commodity Market...."

Zhu Di turned his head and asked, "Yang Rong, do you know?" Yang Rong

shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.

"Guest officer, there is the most complete and most market for Daming goods, if you have the opportunity, you must go and take a look. The boss took the money and said two more mouthfuls.

Did Zhu Zhanyan do that kid? It seems like this..... Zhu Di waved his hand, left the clock shop with a heavy heart, and walked to the next one.

"With this thing, if you go to war in the north, you can know the time at any time.

Zhu Di looked at the watch on his wrist and was very satisfied.

Soon,

he went to a shop, the "kettle" shop.

"Guest, take a look, take a look, a good travel kettle. The

steel kettles, wrapped in cloth bags, similar to crossbody bags, were presented in front of Zhu Di.

"This is?" "This is

a stainless steel kettle, it will never rust, go out to play, it is better to bring this kettle, it can't be broken!" The

shopkeeper took the kettle and slammed it on the ground, doing experiments.

Zhu Di's eyes lit up, he took the kettle, looked at it carefully, and was shocked.

This steel kettle looks very sturdy, much better than the leather water bag used for marching and fighting.

He handed it to Yang Shiqi, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and asked, "Look, how about equipping everyone in the whole army with such a steel kettle?"

Yang Shiqi also picked it up curiously, and soon, his eyes lit up.

As the saying goes, the three armies have not moved the grain and grass first.

This water source is more important than food!

An army can last some time without food, but if there is no water source, the army will collapse in a few days and lose its combat effectiveness.

With this kettle, each person can bring one for storing water sources, and even if they can't meet a water source in the short term, they can delay it for a while!

Yang Shiqi nodded violently: "Mr. Zhu, this is a good thing! When

the words fell, Zhu Di immediately looked at the boss and waved his hand magnificently.

"Don't sell it, how much do you have in this store, we'll cover it all, give us 300,000!"
