Datang: Li Shimin begged me to rebel

"But you see, as the saying goes, if you don't fight, you don't know each other. Otherwise, I wouldn't know you so well, right?" Li Ke said.

Chang Sun Chong: "..."

What you said is quite good, the problem is that the two of us seem to have known each other since childhood?

"Let's go, I'm going to stay in an inn." Chang Sun Chong waved his hand and said, there is naturally an inn in Pingkang Fang, which is for the men who hang around in brothels at night.

"I'll come to you for something later. I'm a good talker. Besides, the conflict between me and my uncle is not that deep. We have more political differences." Li Ke said again.

"Understood." Chang Sun Chong didn't say much, and just got out of the way.

When Chang Sun Chong left, Li Ke smiled, turned around and left as well. There are some things that don't need to be explained, as long as everyone knows what's going on.

When Li Ke returned to Youjian Mall, Helian Liuli, who had also returned to her room, had already changed her clothes. Although it was getting late, she was still not sleepy. His Highness King Qin’s words had given her a lot today. touch.

In other words, His Royal Highness King Qin is the one who knows what they really want. They just want to...live a normal life.

It seems to be very simple, but it is not simple. With their looks, even if they redeem themselves, after living outside, countless people will inevitably harass them, but living in this brothel... can avoid a lot harassment.

After all, there is still an owner in this brothel, and the increasing number of newcomers here also makes Helian Liuli and the others share a lot of their firepower.

This world is so weird, sometimes it looks like a fire pit, but it protects you.

Looking at the book "A Chinese Ghost Story" on the table, Helian Liuli hesitated and picked it up.

Opening the book, a line of text came into view: At the end of the Eight Kings Rebellion, during the period of the Five Hu and Sixteen Kingdoms, the land of the Central Plains was devastated, and the common people were in dire straits.If the country has no roots, evil spirits will arise.All over the country, there are many evildoers and ghosts born.

Helian Liuli was attracted to it at the beginning. There were very few novels in the early Tang Dynasty. Even in the original history, the development of novels in the Tang Dynasty had already reached the middle and late Tang Dynasty. After the cost of paper continued to decline, it began to gradually flourish. .

When the value of paper was high, the paper of most scholars was mainly used for studying or writing poetry, and it was naturally impossible to write novels.

Although Li Ke has lowered the price of paper, the development of culture takes time to settle.

And even if people in this era write novels, they mostly use history as the theme and add their own creations.

There is still a blank in Datang for such strange novels.

What Helian Liuli didn't know was that she had opened up a whole new world.

On the second day, Li Ke got up early, and then rushed out of Chang'an City, because new finished products in the industrial zone have been made, the scale of the industrial zone has expanded a lot, and more and more factories are constantly under construction. Finish.

There have been quite a few times the style of the factory buildings in the 60s and [-]s of the later generations. The structure of reinforced concrete red bricks and steel frames has formed some large factories.

However, some other factories have been relocated in the southwest near Chang'an. A large steel factory is going to be built here, and subsequent ironmaking and other factories will be transferred here. The main reason is that some subsequent large castings have already been established Idea, therefore, ironmaking and steelmaking are not pure ironmaking and steelmaking, they must be integrated with forging at that time.

Avoid re-melting steel, secondary waste, etc. Burning coke in this era still consumes a lot of materials. Fortunately, the waste products of burning coke can also be used to make fuel for the people to survive the winter, otherwise it would be wasted.

In the industrial area, a brand new factory building stands here, and there is a plaque hanging at the door of the factory building: Datang Royal Watch Factory.

That's right, Li Ke came to see clocks and watches today. The pendulum clock he needed has already been made. In fact, the difficulty of pendulum clocks is not high. It is not difficult to make after the principle, not to mention that Li Ke still has a complete mechanical structure here.

In fact, the clock was made more than three months ago, but after it was made, these craftsmen have been calculating and testing the length of the pendulum, the influence of the spring's tightness on timing, and then using traditional corona and other aspects Accurate calculation of time.

And this calculation process lasted nearly four months, and now it is finally close to perfection.

It can be said that before the invention of electricity, the mechanical pendulum clock will be the most accurate timekeeper. Even after the invention of electricity, the pendulum clock will become the most accurate timekeeper. At most, the mainspring will provide the force to the pendulum Turn into a pendulum powered by electricity.

It is not as accurate as the future electronic clocks and atomic clocks, but for this era, it is already an advanced timing machine. Most importantly, it can accurately time the time to the second.

Precise timing has a very important impact on industrial activities, which means that many productions are scaled and streamlined.

When Li Ke entered the workshop, he immediately heard the crisp and unique "tick sound".

Listening to this familiar voice, to be honest, at this moment, Li Ke had the urge to burst into tears, but without this unique experience, it was difficult to feel the urge brought by the sound of the clock turning, which is also A major symbol of civilization and progress, rational use of time.

"My minister Li Fu has seen His Highness." A 40-year-old craftsman came over to salute Li Ke.

"Excuse me, are you in charge of the watch factory now?" Li Ke looked at him and asked.

"It's Your Highness, I'm ashamed, after His Highness gave you the blueprints and principles, it took us so long." Li Fu said with some shame.

Li Ke looked at him, feeling a little emotional. Li Ke knew about Li Fu. He should be chosen to be in charge of this matter. In a family of craftsmen, there are records in the family that nine generations have been craftsmen.

They were mainly carpenters and blacksmiths. Although the status of craftsmen in the past dynasties did not seem to be high, they still had some income from some aristocratic families. Therefore, Li Fu was literate from an early age, but he did not read much.

But Li Fu is very smart. Because of the influence of his family, he has been good at research since he was a child. He is very good at carpentry and casting, especially in some wooden structures.

This is why Liu Chang and Lu Daqiang recommended him in the first place.
