Chapter 37: Ingenuity

I saw an old-fashioned mechanical clock in front of everyone's eyes.

Tick tock!

As the pendulum continues to swing, the hands on the old-fashioned mechanical clock move slowly, and time passes bit by bit.

"What is this?" Chen Ruoxi couldn't help but wonder.

Du Shi and Chen Nan also looked at their son curiously.

Chen Lingxiao said: "The mechanical clock is a kind of timekeeping machine. ”

Hearing this, Chen Ruoxi stretched out his jade hand, picked up the mechanical clock, and examined it carefully.

"Can it show twelve hours?" asked Chen Ruoxi.

"It can show not only twelve hours, but also half an hour, a quarter of an hour, and so on. Chen Lingxiao said.

This mechanical clock was purchased by him from the [Science and Technology Museum] of the [Super Divine Dynasty System] for 0.1 System Coins.

And it has been systematically transformed, with twelve hours as the timekeeping method, which is very suitable for this world.

In addition, the clock has a self-destruct function, which automatically destroys all parts if anyone tries to disassemble it.

This feature is useful to prevent secrets from leaking.

In the science and technology museum, there is also a whole production line of mechanical clocks that can be purchased, mass production and manufacturing, which is not a problem at all.

"Will it stop swinging, then?"

"Tighten the clockwork behind the clock every day to keep it moving. ”

“......”

After Jian Nanbo, Du Shi and Chen Ruoxi listened to Chen Lingxiao's explanation, their eyebrows all showed joy that was difficult to hide.

The world's timekeeping methods are very backward, and hourglasses are used for timekeeping.

Compared with the mechanical clock provided by Sky Chen, it is the difference between heaven and earth.

After the three of them learned about the mechanical clock, they also liked it.

They believed that if they were to sell the mechanical clock, it would sell for a very high price.

"This is indeed a good thing, ingenious and ingenious, and the nobles, wealthy businessmen, and eunuchs will like it very much. Jian Nanbo exclaimed.

As an old aristocrat, he still has a very unique vision.

As soon as his words fell, Chen Ruoxi said: "Ling Xiao, you want to use this mechanical clock to help the Earl's Mansion solve the crisis!"

"Clever!" Chen Lingxiao praised, and then said: "I invented the mechanical clock first, and it will definitely sell for a lot of money!"

"However, you only have one, and besides, we only have 20 days left!" Chen Ruoxi said worriedly.

Chen Nan and Du Shi also have the same worries.

"20 days, that's enough!"

Chen Lingxiao looked at Jian Nanbo and said, "Dad, what are the biggest business alliances in the Jin Kingdom?"

"The biggest is naturally the Evergreen Business Alliance, which occupies an absolute dominant position in the Jin Kingdom. The second place is the Shengyuan Business Alliance, which has been suppressed by Changqing.

Compared with these two major business alliances, the other business alliances are insignificant and insignificant. Jian Nanbo said.

Chen Lingxiao thought for a moment and spoke: "Dad, the money bank under the Shengyuan Business Alliance, can you take out the gold coins we need?"

"Ling Xiao, that's for sure, although the Shengyuan Business Alliance was suppressed by Changqing, its strength is still very strong, and it should not be underestimated!"

"Okay, then Dad, you should contact the person in charge of the Shengyuan Business Alliance in the southwest region of the Jin Kingdom as soon as possible, and I will have an interview with him!" Chen Lingxiao said.

Jian Nanbo nodded, a glimmer of hope rising in his heart.

Chen Lingxiao continued: "I have two other things, my father wants to help me do them!"

"You say!"

"The first thing I did was to set aside an area in the Earl's Castle for me, and I would build a factory.

The second thing is that I can already produce Dongpo meat seasoning packets in large quantities, and you sent someone to release the news, and five days later, I held an agency bidding meeting in Jiannan Restaurant. Chen Lingxiao said.

"Build a factory?"

The three were curious.

Chen Lingxiao glanced at the three of them and explained to them.

After Chen Nan, Du Shi and Chen Ruoxi learned about it, they greatly appreciated Chen Lingxiao's idea of the agency bidding conference.

"Dad, it's best to publicize it to the entire province, so that the big businessmen in the province can bid for the agency of the seasoning package. Chen Lingxiao added.

As for spreading the news outside the province, he didn't dare to think about it for the time being.

Not long after Dongpo Meat became famous in Jiannan City, it was not easy for the big businessmen in Southern Xinjiang Province to know, let alone travel to the province.

In the following time, Jian Nanbo asked Chen Lingxiao to choose a place to build a factory.

He chose a site in the northwest corner and planned to establish a production base for Dongpo meat seasoning packages and a mechanical clock production base here.

Of course, they are all small production bases.

The reason why Chen Tianxiao chose to build a factory in the castle was mainly for the sake of safety and confidentiality.

In the future, he will move the production base there, build ports, build big ships, and let the products of modern civilization use this as the base point of radiation, radiate to all directions, earn huge wealth, and provide financial support for the rebellion.

......

Jiannan City is extremely lively.

Many people gathered around to watch a young man who was running away.

"Who is this person, ashamed to death, running on the street without clothes!"

Many of the older girls covered their eyes, blushed, and muttered.

"My God, that sleek young man still has a sign around his neck, he is Lan Xiaoyan, the son of Lan Hesheng, the treasurer of the southwest of Evergreen Qianzhuang!"

"Impossible, the son of the great shopkeeper of the dignified Evergreen Money Village, how can he be such a shameless Guoben!"

"The stupid sons of the Jiannanbo family have become smarter, what else can't happen in these years?"

"Fuck, if this shameless man is really Lan Xiaoyan, then there will be a good show!"

At this time, a bewitching woman with flowers and branches pointed to Lan Xiaoyan in Guoben, and said coquettishly: "It's really Lan Gongzi, I have served him, and there is a red birthmark on his thigh." ”

This woman is the top brand of Yihong Temple.

When the people heard his words, the discussion became more intense.

The party Lan Xiaoyan ignored the discussion of the outside world, he only thought about running a lap of Jiannan City, completing the requirements of the thieves in Heifeng Village, and then going back to Changqing Qianzhuang.

He always felt a chill on his back, and an arrow was aimed at him in the dark, and he didn't dare to slack off in the slightest.

I don't know how long it has been, Lan Xiaoyan finally finished running a lap of Jiannan City and showed himself to the people of the city.

He ran back to the door of the Evergreen Money Village, no longer had the strength, and his eyes were black and fainted.

......

Evergreen Money, backyard.

"Shopkeeper Landa, it's a big deal!"

A richly dressed man with a big belly hurriedly ran in and said to another middle-aged man in a rich brocade dress holding antique porcelain.

The rich man was Lan Hesheng, he carefully put down the porcelain and looked at the big belly: "Shopkeeper Zhang, what happened?"

The big belly bag is the shopkeeper of the branch of Jiannan City's Evergreen Qianzhuang, and he is Lan Hesheng's subordinate.

"Shopkeeper Landa, go out and have a look, Xiao Yangongzi ......" Shopkeeper Zhang didn't know how to say the following.

Lan Hesheng frowned slightly: "What's wrong with my son?"

"Hey, the shopkeeper of Landa will find out with me!"

Lan Hesheng came to the front yard and saw several subordinates carrying a naked man to the backyard.

"Yan'er !!"

Even though the young man's cheeks were swollen like a pig, Lan Hesheng still recognized it as his son at a glance, and let out a sad cry.

Soon, Lan Xiaoyan was carried into the room, and an old man came to check his body.

Soon after, he woke up.

"Yan'er, what happened?" Lan Hesheng saw his son wake up, and hurriedly stepped forward to grab his hand and asked.

"Dad, yes...... It's the bandits of the Black Wind Village...... Woo woo, you want to avenge me!" Lan Xiaoyan recounted the incident with tears in his eyes.

Syllable!

After listening to his son's story, Lan Hesheng slapped the table, causing the tea set to shake and the tea overflowing.

"Earl Jiannan's Mansion, I'm Lan Hesheng and you!!" Lan Hesheng gritted his teeth and said.

Lan Xiaoyan was stunned: "Dad, it was the thieves in Heifeng Village who made me ......"

"Hmph, Black Wind Village?"

Lan Hesheng sneered: "It can't be the ruthless hand under the Black Wind Village, it must be the people of the Jiannan Earl's Mansion who are just pretending to be in the name of the Black Wind Village." ”
