According to the estimates of the Jewish coppersmith Leahham, it would take about a month to create a finely crafted pocket watch by hand, even with the most skilled craftsmen. I don't dare to guarantee 100% success, no matter how small it is, I can only pray for God to appear.

Assembly line? No, the clock has too high requirements for precision, and the current processing technology cannot control all workpiece errors within a certain range. So it can only be done by one person alone, at most separating the case from the movement.

"You don't have to be busy making finished products, and you don't have to demand production, you can get the tools you have at hand first, and by the way, help me make a few timers, and you can practice your hands."

Fortunately, Hong Tao is not in a hurry to produce, and the precision instrument is fine, and if all the details are not handled properly, the production is also defective. According to his plan, the first pocket watch with practical functions was finalized and mass-produced within two years.

However, he can't mess around all day long, sharpen knives and chop wood, and during this time, he has other tasks to Wang Xin and Liaham.

A mechanical timer, or mechanical timer, is actually a simplified version of a clock. It was frequently used in later electrical appliances, such as washing machines, electric fans, microwave ovens, and all equipment that needed to be started and shut down at a regular time, and was gradually replaced by electronic timers.

Could it be that Hong Tao wants to build washing machines and electric fans? Hong Tao wants to build it, but unfortunately it is in vain to have a timer without electricity. You can't always use a mainspring to drive the washing machine, and you can quickly wind it when you stop washing it halfway.

In addition to electrical appliances, timers are also widely used in military applications, such as artillery shells and timed cakes. Cannonballs are not needed for the time being, but timed fried cakes are in great demand.

Wang Shi has complained more than once that the Shanchuan Supervision Institute is understaffed, and every time he carries out an assassination mission, he has to send many people to cooperate with him, which not only consumes energy but also is easy to expose.

If Wang Shi has a regular fried cake, it must be more powerful than having a simulated pilot training system. Whoever gets in the way will be sent to the sky, and there will be no trouble with a bang.

Timed fried cakes are very simple and cheap to use in this era, and they can be placed at will by sending a person, which is powerful and effective, and has a very strong concealment. Even if someone finds out, they can't figure out what it is for a while, and if they don't do it, they will blow it up, just in time to sell the stolen goods.

Time flies so fast, in a blink of an eye it is the golden autumn festival again, there is still a decade before August 15, Hong Tao took the eldest princess and Wang San on the training ship, this time not to the south but to the north.

After nine months, Wang Qi and Shen Kuo finally repaired the north bank of the Huaishui embankment to the intersection of the Tongji Canal, with a total length of 67 miles, and from then on, half of Sizhou no longer had to worry about the Huai River breaching.

As the envoy of the two Huai River repairs, Hong Tao of course had to come to the scene to greet the officials, craftsmen, and people who were fighting on the front line, and bring holiday blessings.

It is not Hong Tao's habit to bless with his mouth, there are 10,000 catties of Korean beef on the boat, and each person will take a few catties home for the festival, even if he can't eat enough, he can have a few more oily meals.

There is not only meat but also hundreds of old clothes, which the eldest princess raised with the help of Asaka Zhai. The poor can give less or no money to see a doctor, and the rich and the eunuchs have to donate not only more money but also old clothes, which is also the rule of light fasting in various places.

These clothes are more popular than meat, most of the people who participated in the construction of the river embankment are local disaster victims in Sizhou, eat a few bites of meat at most to satisfy their cravings, with clothes can be more comfortable in winter, can be used for several months.

As soon as one ship entered Yangzhou, it became two, followed by a rice boat donated by Yangzhou officials and wealthy businessmen. I heard that King Liang was going to visit the people with the eldest princess, and the state officials were very good at being people, so they immediately summoned the rich households in the city, whether they were voluntary or not, and each family wanted to gather a boatload of old rice, which was also considered to be good.

To tell the truth, these officials and wealthy businessmen still respect King Liang and his wife from the bottom of their hearts. Don't mention the expansion of the territory, those things are too far away and no one knows the inside story. But since King Liang arrived in Yangtze Town, a lot of changes have taken place in just over a year.

First of all, it is a fertilizer, the smell is not good, but it can really be used to beat more grain. Then he set up a school and a medical center, not only to teach poor children to read and write, but also to get rid of injuries and diseases.

The capital is rich and unkind, and these things are really for the benefit of the township. It's not over, at the beginning of the year, there was cowpox, which can actually save people from the scourge of pox. That's right, this disease is no longer a disease, but a disaster, and even the sick and the neighbors are unlucky.

Dispelling disasters and eliminating disasters, this is the people's expectation of the gods and Buddhas, but I didn't expect it to be done by mortals. If you want to say that King Liang is a god, eight out of ten people believe it at this time.

And there is another goddess in this version, and the people feel that the eldest princess must also be the star monarch, and the prince and mother of Liang are a couple at once, so as not to leave one lonely in the sky.

Now even the river embankment has been repaired, according to the passing merchants and troughs said that it is called the river embankment, it is taller and stronger than the Yangzhou city wall, and the Kaifeng city wall is not lagging behind. It is all made of large stones, and it will take hundreds of years to say the least.

It is not only the quality of the embankment that makes people involuntarily give a thumbs up, but also the treatment of the people who repair the embankment. More than 3,000 young people died from beginning to end, and more than 100 people died, basically no one starved, and they could eat two meals of meat and vegetables from time to time.

No, King Liang and the eldest princess were loaded with meat and clothes on their boats, and they must not have gone to worship the river god, so they couldn't find a chance to slander them.

More people with inside information privately pointed out that the imperial court basically did not pay much money for the construction of this section of the embankment, and only gave some timber and a few troughs of old rice.

The wood was sent by King Liang to Beihe Road to hire people to cut down and then hire boats to pull it back, and the rest of the money and grain were paid in advance by King Liang's mansion, and the court has not been repaid so far.

When King Liang first arrived, he had a strong notoriety, and no one from the local officials to the ordinary people was willing to approach. But more than a year has passed, and what everyone sees is not a powerful man who kills people, does not pay attention to etiquette, and is unkind to the rich, but a great good man who lives in a simple place.

The two of them have almost exhausted all the good deeds they can do, and they are left to build roads and bridges, but the merit box at the entrance of Qianyuzhai clearly says that they want to build a bridge over the Yangtze River, which means that they don't plan to leave it for others at all.

In ancient times, there were no news media of all kinds, and the government's control over public opinion was weak, so it was impossible to use the media to unify the voice and thinking.

Most of the officials, gentry, and people in Yangzhou felt that King Liang was not only not a wicked person but also a great good person, and if the officials of the Great Song Dynasty could have one-tenth of King Liang, they would directly rule the world.

"My eldest princess, do you still feel that your people are suffering at this time? Aren't they cute, and you can tell who is good and who is bad? ”

Different from the deserted when he first entered Yangzhou City, at this time both sides of the Cao River were already full of people who came to see the great benevolent people, including many local wealthy businessmen and gentry.

Usually, if he ran into so many people, Hong Tao had to shrink in the cabin and pretend to be dead, what if anyone tried to commit misdeeds? At such a close distance, an arrow hangs.

But this time Hong Tao did not shrink, and stood in the bow of the boat with the eldest princess, receiving the cheers and petals from both sides. To make the eldest princess proud once, she has not enjoyed much happiness with herself for all these years, and finally looked forward to her husband coming home, but she was degraded out of Kaifeng in disguise.

Of course, he still secretly wore a piece of chain mail under his coat, as long as he didn't shoot on his neck and head, he should be able to save it with Wang Eighteen's medical skills. This is called nature, chicken thief nature!

"What do you want for this time!" The eldest princess has also received the cheers of all the people in the Kaifeng Imperial City, such as the Shangyuan Festival, which is held every year, but this time she was the most excited, and her face was flushed. This honor is not based on the name of the eldest princess, but more sincerely.

"It's really difficult to be a good official, husband, I also worked hard to get to this situation, dare to ask how many kings are there in the world? The difficulty is not in the individual, but in the whole system. To put it mildly, your eldest brother's way of ruling back then was not suitable, and it was even worse if it was replaced by your second brother. ”

In addition to the chicken thief, Hong Tao also has a very bad problem, that is, he can't see that others are happy, and he has to use various methods to fight every time, and now he is sick again.

“…… The husband is talented, and the court will know sooner or later, but the official family just doesn't notice it for a while. ”

The eldest princess is really not a fool, she is afraid that she has long been aware of her husband and the two of them before, and she also knows that some things are deliberately concealed from the court. Why do you do this, I don't dare to think about it, I can't eat and sleep for several days, I can only comfort myself.
