Chapter 538: Precise Timing

"Okay, okay, shut up, what else is there to mention about some of the old sesame seeds and rotten grains?"

Seeing the noisy and noisy ministers, Yingzheng was very impatient.

The mood that had just eased was all lost by them!

"Flying Feather! This bell you gave me ......! ”

Referring to the mechanical clock on the dragon case, Ying Zheng flattened his mouth, still feeling very unlucky.

Although it is a homonym and different words, it is also very awkward to say.

"What the hell is this thing for?"

"Timing!"

Ying Feiyu glanced at him and spat out two words lightly.

"What? Time? You kid ran over and made me angry, just to send a timekeeping tool? ”

Hearing this, Ying Zhengqi's nose was crooked.

The ministers were not half interested!

In the past, the things invented by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince always amazed them, how did they study such a thing this time?

"Father, don't underestimate this mechanical clock, he can not only keep time, but also tell the time ......!"

Ying Feiyu explained in detail to everyone.

"Ding-dong...... Dingdong ......"

As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of metal striking could be heard from inside the mechanical clock.

"Twelve, that is, it's four o'clock in the afternoon!"

Ying Feiyu explained slightly.

"Oh? This thing is so amazing that it can tell the time? ”

At this time, the corners of Ying Zheng's mouth curved a little, and the old goods also came over and began to look at the mechanical clock carefully.

After a while, Zhang Han raised his head and asked suspiciously, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince just said that this mechanical clock can accurately know the time, so how many quarters has passed since four o'clock in the afternoon?" ”

Everyone else looked at him with staring eyes.

In this day and age, the records of time are very vague.

What a cup of tea, a stick of incense, an hour of such a way to record!

Either way, it's not very accurate.

"Zhang Shangshu wants to use this to stump my ......!"

As soon as Zhang Han's words came out, Ying Feiyu understood that this old man was testing him to see if the mechanical clock could really record the time accurately.

Because the mechanical clock had just been out of date, the sound had only fallen for a while.

If it can be recorded even in such a short time, it proves that this mechanical clock is indeed very accurate!

"It's 12:038!"

Ying Feiyu casually glanced at the mechanical clock and replied fluently.

"Three minutes and eighteen seconds?"

For this kind of timekeeping, the old goods are still difficult to understand for a while.

Even if Ying Feiyu has just told it in great detail, he still can't remember it!

"That's right! It's probably half a cup of tea! ”

It takes about 10 minutes for a cup of tea to be served hot and ready for you to eat smoothly in winter and 15 minutes in summer.

Therefore, he described it as a small half cup of tea, which is convenient for old goods to understand!

"Yo! It's really accurate! ”

Zhang Han was very surprised.

"That's right! Even if Zhang Shangshu sneezes or goes to a thatched house, the mechanical clock can accurately calculate the time, and it is accurate to the second! ”

Ying Feiyu said with a smile.

"Hmmm! Then this mechanical clock is really good! If it is popularized, when you practice again in the morning, everyone can wait at the same time accurately, and there is no need to send people to call from camp to camp, and there will be no early arrival and late arrival! ”

Wang Ben's eyes lit up.

As a general and a secretary of the military department, if you find something good, you must want to put it in the military at the first time!

Ying Zheng also nodded in agreement, "Hmm! It's really not bad, but the way this time is calculated, I'm not used to it! ”

"It's the same as Arabic numerals, everyone can't adapt to it at the beginning, but after a long time, they get used to it!"

At first, the numbers were only used by a few accountants and shopkeepers, but gradually spread to the point that even children are using them today.

Because it's really convenient and fast!

"Hmm!"

Ying Zheng nodded approvingly.

"If my father has no opinion, I will explain this 24-hour system in detail in the newspaper when I turn around!"

"Speak! Speak! Speak! This 24-hour system can be accurate and beneficial to the people, so why not talk about it? ”

Ying Zheng stared at the mechanical clock and grinned, waved his sleeve robe, and settled the matter.

"Okay, let's discuss the matter of the expedition here, I have to show the bell that the prince gave me to the queen, haha!"

Although Ying Zheng didn't understand how to operate this thing, he understood one thing.

As soon as the long hand points to twelve, the mechanical clock will sound.

So he wants to move the mechanical clock to Yuxiu Palace before this!

Looking at his happy back, Ying Feiyu couldn't help but glance white.

This old thing, have you forgotten what you looked like when you were angry at him just now?

"Hey...... His Royal Highness the Prince, that mechanical clock can be made in large quantities? ”

After Ying Zheng left, Ying Feiyu was suddenly surrounded by old goods.

grinning one by one, baring their teeth, I don't know and think I'm going to swallow Xiao Zhengtai!

"Not yet! However, Huang Yuan has already been explained and asked him to go back to prepare for manufacturing! ”

Ying Feiyu pushed aside everyone and spoke.

"Alas! That's a shame! ”

The veterans shook their heads.

It seems that this wave can't be loaded!

"But...... If you want a few books, the prince can also make an exception to give you a private custom, the price will definitely be a little higher, but at least you can get the mechanical clock in three days! ”

Looking at the eager eyes of several old people, Ying Feiyu's eyes rolled, and he planned to repeat the old trick.

"Can you get it in three days?"

The eyes of the old ones lit up.

The last time they were on the bike, they really gained a lot of envious eyes.

Even after the bikes were sold in large quantities, their custom bikes were still the focus of the crowd as soon as they appeared!

Therefore, this time I heard the word private order again, and the old goods suddenly became interested.

Spend a little more and you can become the center of attention in the city, which is a good deal!

"That's right, if a few Shangshu are sure to customize, this prince will send someone to inform Huang Yuan this afternoon, and at this time in three days, it will be guaranteed that the privately customized mechanical clock will be held in the hands of several Shangshu!"

Ying Feiyu said firmly.

"But will it be as different as last time?"

The old guys asked suspiciously.

"That's natural, private customization, it must be specially customized for a few Shangshu, it must be different!"

Ying Feiyu played a package ticket.

"Good! That's it! Ha ha! ”

Wang Ben waved his hand and immediately responded.

"Don't, don't, don't, don't worry...... Marquis Tongwu!"

However, Zhang Han hurriedly pulled his hand down, "It's better to ask the price first!" ”

He suffered several losses at the hands of Xiao Zhengtai, and he remembered it immediately.

As long as there is a money transaction with the prince, the price must be put first.

Otherwise, how much it will cost is not certain!

"Uh......! That's good! ”

Wang Ben hadn't thought about it so much before, but after he said this, he suddenly felt reasonable.
