Xun Ya is wearing a pink Luo skirt today, with a graceful posture, with an innate elegance, but she is wearing a light veil on her head, which makes people unable to see her face clearly, and only reveals a pair of bright eyes like crystals.

She was not in the workshop's workshop, but in the workshop's ledger, leaning over and checking the accounts intently.

From a distance, her whole person at this moment is full of grace and elegance, and she is completely a heroine.

On the side, there were four good-looking personal maids waiting for her, all of whom had read books and had become her helpers.

As soon as she saw the man come in, a maid was startled, and she just wanted to ask, but after seeing Chen Kaizhi's handsome face, she hurriedly saluted.

Chen Kaizhi just waved his hand to them silently, a pair of bright eyes only stared at Xun Ya, and said with a smile as he stepped forward: "Ya'er actually arrived before me." ”

Xun Ya closed the account with her green and jade hands, very hostess-like, and smiled at Chen Kaizhi.

"Well, in the past two days, the clock has finally started to go on sale, and now only 300 units have been produced, let the salt merchants tie in the sale first, and the goods are out, but the goods in the hands of the Luoyang salt merchants, whether anyone buys them, I can't put it down."

Chen Kaizhi is also very concerned about this.

Clocks are not better than textiles, every clock at present, occupies a large area, although it has been improved many times, this clock has a stool size, which is countless gears and mechanisms, finely crafted, so the price is also expensive, the price of a clock, the current price is one hundred and fifty taels of silver, which completely belongs to the category of luxury.

But the promotion of clocks and watches is actually the most important thing for Chen Kaizhi.

If the textile industry occupies the advantage of scale and manpower absorption, and the watch industry, because it involves too many mechanical components, so to a certain extent, it is the starting point of Chen Kaizhi's heavy industry, as long as these clocks can be popular, get a large number of orders, Chen Kaizhi can recruit more skilled craftsmen, not only can make money from it, but most importantly, while making money, it can also cultivate talents.

Think about it, if a person can be proficient in the structure of clocks, it means that he has mastered a lot of physics knowledge, and he also has a certain understanding of the principles and construction of machinery.

But if you can make money by making clocks and watches, and you can make a lot of money, then every watchmaker is a talent, and Chen Kaizhi can pay a lot of salary.

This watchmaker has naturally become a sweet spot in everyone's eyes.

So, how many people will aspire to become a watchmaker?

If you farm the land, you can get one tael of silver a year, and become a textile craftsman, you can get five taels of silver, that watchmaker, a year, but it is easy to have a salary of one hundred taels of silver, under this effect, I am afraid that there is no need for Chen Kaizhi to promote the so-called physics and mechanical manufacturing, there will be countless outstanding talents flock to this, more and more people begin to learn these knowledge, hoping to become a master.

You must know that in this world, it is not easy to find an annual salary of 100 taels, and ordinary small landlords, if they have hundreds of acres of land at home, may not have this harvest.

In this way, Chen Kaizhi can be regarded as opening up a shortcut, this shortcut is that you don't need to read a lifetime, so as to become a talent, a lifter, and a master; You can spend a few years learning another kind of knowledge and becoming another kind of talent, its social status may be far inferior to showing talent and lifting people, but you can have no worries about food and clothing for a lifetime, which is enough to change a person's fate.

Only when there are more such people, then physics and manufacturing will continue to develop, they will improve clocks and watches, they will improve the various manufacturing processes, and eventually, if this knowledge is applied to other machinery manufacturing, it will also be the same.

So...... For Chen Kaizhi, this watch industry will be the starting point of everything for him.

Xun Ya glanced at Chen Kai, and couldn't help frowning: "I have read the account books, and I have also sent people down the mountain to find out some situations, and many people still have concerns about this clock." One of the biggest complaints is that the clock is not easy to move and transport, and in addition, it is also easy to be damaged. ”

Chen Kaizhi is embarrassed, although it is a finished product, the craftsmen of the watch workshop have roughly begun to be familiar with the process, but after all, this is the era, the first time to make such a delicate thing, the cost of this thing is already high, the price is also high, if it is easy to damage, it will indeed give people great concerns, after all, anyone's silver is not blown by the wind.

Chen Kaizhi pondered for a moment, and then said, "Then you might as well warrant it." ”

"Warranty?" Xun Ya was stunned for a moment, looking at Chen Kaizhi with puzzlement, as if she didn't understand what Chen Kaizhi meant.

However, Chen Kaizhi understands that it is normal for Yu Xunya not to understand, so there is no concept of warranty in this era.

Chen Kaizhi shook his head with a wry smile, and hurriedly explained to Xun Ya: "It is to promise people that as long as we buy our clocks, as long as there is a problem, we will be responsible for sending special personnel to repair them, and the maintenance personnel will be drawn from the craftsmen." ”

"However, this alone will not work, I will have to think of another way." Chen Kaizhi knows that this era is close to conservative, and it is not easy to make people accept new affairs, those rich families, there are people who specialize in telling the time, even if there is not, there is no sundial, of course, although the clock is advanced, but after all, those old methods, people have long been used to it, and it is really not easy to change people's fixed habits and make people accept new things, and you have to think of a way to do it.

Chen Kaizhi frowned, was silent for a moment, and then said slowly: "In this way, you let people make me a few big bells, this big bell should be magnificent, it is best to use gold and silver to build it, don't care about the cost." ”

Although Xun Ya didn't understand why Chen Kaizhi asked for this, she knew that there must be a reason for Chen Kaizhi, and she just had to believe that Chen Kaizhi had a way.

So Xun Ya responded very crisply: "Okay." ”

There are a lot of people here, and Chen Kaizhi doesn't have much to say, so he doesn't say much about clocks and watches, and smiles at her: "These days, I've worked hard for you." ”

"Where." Xun Ya stroked the messy hair in front of her forehead, but returned to the delicate daughter's appearance, shook her head and said, "This is all deserved." ”

The two words that should be used are actually more real than many love words, the so-called sea vows and mountain alliances, strong love and honey, where can they be compared to the three words in this plain.

Chen Kaizhi smiled and said: "Later, I have to go to the Ministry of Rites, and now, I am very busy, and now I wear many hats, and you can take care of the affairs of the family." ”

said that he went to the Ministry of Rites, but in fact it was just a debriefing.

Xun Ya has always been sensible and decent, so she didn't delay Chen Kaizhi's time, so she let Chen Kaizhi go down the mountain earlier.

After Chen Kaizhi arrived at the Ministry of Rites, it was the director of the Sike Division who was responsible for greeting him.

This lord in charge has a very ugly face, although he tries his best to be polite on his face, but Chen Kaizhi can also see the clues when he looks at his gloomy appearance.

After Chen Kaizhi sat down, he picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and then said lightly: "About the ...... of various countries"

"Hey." The director glanced at Chen Kai, and immediately sighed: "Regarding this matter, the lower officials should give General Chen a showdown, the envoys of various countries have already negotiated with the Sike Division and the Honglu Temple, and the Northern Yan Kingdom is okay, at least it has not fallen into the ground, and now there is news that the Hu people may go south to attack Chen, and they want to avenge the prince of Nabatu." So early this morning, the envoys of Southern Chu came, saying that they hoped that Da Chen could return to Jiangling Mansion. ”

Gangneung ......

Chen Kai was stunned.

Speaking of which, this Jiangling Mansion is the same concept as the three prefectures of Jibei, but this is an old thing hundreds of years ago, when Da Chen went to the south, he originally wanted to dominate the world, but in the end he did not surrender to Southern Chu, but it was not completely unsuccessful, at least the Jiangling Mansion in the land of Jingxiang finally fell into the hands of Da Chen, so that Southern Chu only occupied a part of Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan and Guizhou and northern Vietnam, which are mostly mountainous places.

Nan Chu had always hoped to recover the Jiangling area, and now they took advantage of this opportunity to fall into the ground.

Isn't that obvious?

The Hu people may go south, if Da Chen does not return Jiangling Mansion, even if Nan Chu does not use troops against Da Chen, as long as the soldiers and horses are stationed on the front line of Jinling, it is enough for Da Chen to resist the Hu people in the north with all his strength.

This is clearly wanting to cross the river and tear down the bridge.

I even understood their attitude, if they didn't pay it back, I was afraid that they would attack the Great Chen Dynasty like the Hu people.

It's a very annoying thing.

Although he felt angry, Chen Kaizhi's face seemed very calm, in fact, he didn't expect this, in essence, the interests of various countries are intertwined, and each has its own small abacus, even at the beginning, Beiyan was attacked, inside Da Chen, don't most people hope to unite with the Hu people to destroy Yan?

Now that it is Da Chen's turn, the countries naturally want to follow the Hu people to destroy Da Chen.

But this kind of thinking really makes people feel disgusting.

The principal said angrily at this moment.

"Not only that, but even the South Vietnamese people also want to get some of the islands in the east of my Da Chen, and they say that they are willing to spend gold and silver to buy them, huh...... It is said to be a purchase, but in fact, the best at the Yue people is the sailor, if they occupy many islands in the east, then I Dachen Any ship that goes to sea will have to cross the sea of the Yue people, which is fine in peacetime, but if it is in wartime, then ......"

Such a situation is simply embattled, and war may break out at any time on the borders of Dachen.

Chen Kaizhi looked extremely calm, took a sip of tea again, looked at the main matter, and asked, "Is there anything else?" ”

The principal met Chen Kaizhi's gaze, his brows couldn't help frowning, and he said worriedly: "At present, Xiliang and Shu people have not sent people to contact, but, in my opinion, they will be about the same, the so-called falling into the well, that's it, hey......"
