Hearing Luan Yi ask about the author of "Liang's Father's Yin", Steward Huang replied with a smile, "This song was made by the nephew of the head of the family when he first arrived in Qi some time ago, and saw that the people on the land of Qi under the rule of King Qi lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the city was in order. (The good-looking villain learned to listen to the beautiful lyrics and songs, and he learned to talk about it when he had nothing to do.) ”

Luan Yi smiled and bowed, "This song is extraordinary, and the author must be a well-educated person." I wonder if I have a chance to meet today? ”

Steward Huang looked regretful, "It's unfortunate." Today, there is a poetry meeting on the bank of the Qushui River in Licheng County, and my young lady took the brother to join in the fun early in the morning, but I am afraid that I will not be able to come back for a while. ”

"Oh? Yueying? "Luan Yi often wanders around the Huang family, and this Huang Yueying has naturally seen it many times. Speaking of which, she is not as ugly as later history books say. On the contrary, in Luan Yi's opinion, this girl is not bad. The reason why people at the time said that she was ugly was that although her facial features were upright, her skin was a little dark, and her mouth was also a little long, and her lips were wide and thick. Julie is very similar. Such a posture is quite sexy in the eyes of later generations, but it does not conform to the current aesthetics. That's when she got the reputation of an ugly girl.

Because others say she is ugly, Huang Yueying doesn't like to go out very much. Staying at home on weekdays to read books and tinkering with some scattered small machines is her biggest pastime.

This time, for the sake of the author of "Liang's Father's Yin", he was able to resist the ridicule of others, and changed his habit of not going out of the door in the past to participate in the poetry meeting. It can be seen that the person has a good relationship with the Huang family, and it can also be seen that Huang Yueying has different feelings for that person.

Luan Yi was about to ask the housekeeper, what was the person's surname, but Huang Chengyan rushed out of the house at this time, and when he saw Luan Yi, his eyes lit up, and he pulled Luan Yi and ran to the backyard, "Ziqi...... Oh no, His Royal Highness King Qi, I was just trying to ask the butler to look for you. The last time you mentioned the mechanical time...... I made it. ”

"What?" Luan Yi was a little dazed, and for a while he didn't remember what he had told Huang Chengyan about Shi Gui...... "What mechanical Shi Gui?" ”

"Oops! How could His Royal Highness King Qi be so forgetful...... Forget it, you'll remember it when you read it. Huang Chengyan pulled Luan Yi to the backyard. This was originally the living place of Huang Chengyan's family, and the yard was full of stones, wood, and various utensils. It's like a workshop.

Huang Chengyan pulled Luan Yi into the courtyard, swept aside the messy parts on the stone chair, and motioned for Luan Yi to sit down. [Marshmallow wants to read almost all the books.,It's much more stable and faster than the general station.,There's no ads in the whole text.] Then he turned into two steps and ran back to the house, and took out a wooden box more than one foot long and seven inches wide from the house and placed it in front of Luan Yi.

Luan Yi looked at it, and his eyes immediately straightened. His fingers trembled and pointed to the wooden box for a long time before he held back a sentence, "This...... Is this a bell? ”

Huang Chengyan patted his brain, "Look at my brain." When His Royal Highness King Qi mentioned it to me last time, he said that this thing was called 'Zhong'. I was confused for a while and wrote it down as 'Shi Gui'. But the meaning is the same, they are all used for timing. ”

Luan Yi took a few breaths, and finally calmed down his excitement. After blinking his eyes several times, he was completely sure that what Huang Chengyan was in front of him was a clock that was clicking. Its appearance is identical to that of early mechanical clocks of later generations—a wooden pagoda-shaped casing, with a shiny metal dial in the center of the dial with seconds, minutes, and hour hands pinned to the center. There is a black hole on the right side of the center, which is thought to be the place where the spring is turned. In the empty box below the dial, a pendulum sways back and forth.

Unlike the Western clocks that Luan Yi remembers, the dials of the clocks do not use Greek letters. Instead, he clearly wrote the Chinese characters of "Zi Chou Yin Mao ......" symbolizing the twelve hours, and at the same time, for the sake of beauty, Huang Chengyan also carved the zodiac corresponding to the twelve Chinese characters under the characters, that is, Zi Rat, Chou Niu Yin, Tiger Mao Rabbit...... It looks beautiful and generous.

In this way, the day interpreted by Huang Chengyan's version of the clock is not 24 hours, but 12 hours, although this makes Luan Yi, a traverser, seem unaccustomed, but with a little familiarity, he can easily and accurately locate the current hour.

As a simple example, the minute hand moves two squares clockwise, from Zi to Yin, which represents ten minutes according to Luan Yi's watch reading habits. In the interpretation of Huang Chengyan's version of the clock, this represents a quarter of an hour in the Han Dynasty, which is equivalent to twenty minutes. In this way, the situation of six quarters in an hour in the Han Dynasty was vividly reflected.

In the past, the whole Han could only rely on the angle of watching the sun during the day, and relying on the observation of the stars at night. If it is a cloudy day, not to mention ordinary people, even the imperial court often has time confusion.

Now, with the clocks made by Huang Chengyan, this problem has been completely solved. How could Luan Yi not like it.

In addition to being excited about the Luanjia Chamber of Commerce adding another commodity that can shock the domestic market in the future, Luan Yi also thought that clocks and watches also have epoch-making significance in the military field. With it in hand, when encountering large-scale group operations in the future, the church army can accurately determine the agreed time of coordinated operations to "moments" or even "minutes", so as to achieve unity of action and inflict heavy losses on the enemy in a short period of time.

Thinking of this, Luan Yi did not hesitate to praise Huang Chengyan's exquisite skills. At the same time, he begged Huang Chengyan to personally help him build a bell tower in Licheng County, Jinan, the future New Luoyang City, and all the counties of Dahan in the future, so that the people of Dahan can grasp the time at any time.

Huang Chengyan was also very excited when he heard this kind of thing for the benefit of the people, and immediately readily agreed.

Luan Yi immediately planned with Huang Chengyan about the implementation details of capital investment, personnel allocation, resource supply, and local coordination, and unconsciously chatted late at night.

During this period, Huang Chengyan's wife came to invite the two of them back to the room for dinner three or four times, and both of them waved their hands and put on a posture of not hearing anything outside the window.

Mrs. Huang knew that the king of Qi in the courtyard, although he was high and powerful, he was not informal, once she talked to her own husband about the people who didn't understand, she would forget to sleep and eat strange words, and she would talk all day.

In this regard, Mrs. Huang has become accustomed to it, so she personally cooked a pot of noodle porridge, and served it to Huang Chengyan and Luan Yi with some pickles from home.

The latter brought porridge and tea, drinking and talking, so focused that he didn't see Huang Yueying and her partner enter the house.

At the end of the watch, it was not easy to consider all aspects of the construction of the bell tower. At this time, Huang Chengyan remembered to ask Luan Yi why he came to the door today.

Luan Yi slapped his head and laughed, "I was so excited about the clock that I almost forgot about the big thing." With that, Luan Yi told Huang Chengyan about his idea of building a giant ship, and invited him to join in this project worthy of being remembered by history.

During the conversation, Luan Yi knew that Huang Chengyan, as a descendant of the Mo family, did not like to fight, and he did not like to bully the weak. Therefore, when mentioning this matter, Luan Yi did not say that he built a ship in order to one day dominate the world, but said that he would organize a great fleet to explore the end of the world, and at the same time establish the Maritime Silk Road to sow the seeds of Chinese civilization to all corners of the world.

Of course, Huang Chengyan knew that what Luan Yi said was just a high-sounding disguise. It's just that he obviously didn't expect Luan Yi's ambition to be so big, and he wanted to conquer the world. I just thought that Luan Yi was a businessman with a bad temperament and wanted to use big ships to carry out bulk trade overseas.

In the past, Huang Chengyan, who has always regarded money as dung, will definitely scoff at Luan Yi's proposal. As his interactions with Luan Yi became more and more frequent, he slowly realized that technology is indeed inseparable from wealth in most cases. Technology can be exchanged for wealth, and wealth can promote the maturity and improvement of technology, and the two complement each other to form a virtuous circle.

In the past, Huang Chengyan has maintained this cooperative relationship with Luan Yi, and with the help of Luan Yi's financial resources, he has solved many problems that could not be solved in the past.

Therefore, when he heard that Luan Yi was going to build a big ship to carry out maritime trade, Huang Chengyan only hesitated a little and decided to help Luan Yi.

Subsequently, when he learned that the big ship Luan Yi envisioned was more than forty-four zhang long, Huang Chengyan was shocked for a while. "What a boat that has to be!."

Luan Yi raised his eyebrows and teased, "What? Huang Gong can't make it? ”

"There is nothing in this world that I Huang can't make!" The challenging task immediately piqued Huang Chengyan's interest. But when he calmed down, he was a little stunned, and it was indeed difficult to build such a big boat. He knew that Luan Yi had a lot of ideas, so he asked Luan Yi for a plan, "This matter is indeed not difficult, I don't know what tricks His Royal Highness King Qi has?" ”

"I have some preliminary ideas!" Luan Yi glanced at the sky and replied: "It's just that it's not clear in one sentence or two." It's getting late today, I'll go back for the time being, and I'll come back tomorrow, and we'll talk about it again. ”

Huang Chengyan looked unsatisfied, but when he thought that Luan Yi would come back tomorrow, his reluctance suddenly disappeared by half a minute, "Even if Your Highness is back, I can also think of a way at night." When we meet tomorrow, let's talk about it, and maybe we can find a solution to the problem. ”

"What Huang Gong said is exactly what I want."

As soon as Luan Yi went out on the front foot, Huang Yueying walked out of the boudoir, ran to Huang Chengyan's side and shook Huang Chengyan's arm and complained, "Oh, daddy." Brother Ming came to Jinan this time to get a chance to visit King Qi. Today, King Qi came to the door by himself, and his father didn't arrange for Brother Ming to meet King Qi. ”

Huang Chengyan patted his brain, "Look at the old man's brain." When people are old and useless, they only focus on discussing business, and forget about it. But it doesn't matter, King Qi will come again tomorrow, and it's not too late to see you then. ”

Huang Yueying gave up at this time, nodded and said, "That's right!" ”
