Daming: Refining zombies at the beginning, Lao Zhu was shocked

A watch shop along the street.

Fang Xiaoru and others were fondly playing with the electronic watches in their hands.

After seeing the huge bell tower before, Fang Xiaoru and others were greatly shocked when they traveled through for the first time. However, they did not expect that people more than three hundred years later would have made clocks so small and exquisite that they could be worn directly. On the wrist!

The first clock in the history of the Ming Dynasty was invented by Zhu Yue, King of Han Dynasty, during the reign of Emperor Chengwu. However, at that time, not everyone could own a watch that could be worn on the hand, let alone ordinary people. It says it’s available, but I guess I haven’t even seen it!

However, starting from the Chengwu period, all major state capitals in the Ming Dynasty would build a tall clock tower, with clock times visible on all sides. Basically, as long as you are in the city, you can see the current specific time by looking up. How much is that!

This has greatly facilitated ordinary people to determine the time on weekdays!

You must know that before the advent of clocks, basically all people judged the approximate time by looking at the sky.

The appearance of the clock tower directly gave the common people a clearer concept of the moments of every day!

Even in the Jiwu era, watches are a symbol of the rich, and ordinary people can basically not afford them. Watch shops like this are targeting customers who are either rich or noble!

Zhu Yuanzhang was also very heroic. He brought Fang Xiaoru and others to the watch store and promised to give each of them a watch!

Even the cheapest watch is enough to make Fang Xiaoru and others feel grateful, as if they have obtained a treasure!

When they walked out of the watch shop, Fang Xiaoru, Li Xin and others looked at the watches on their wrists and were so happy that they couldn't open their mouths from ear to ear!

nice one!

From now on, all you have to do to check the time is raise your hand. Who has nothing to do to look at the sky or listen to the midnight clock caller?

"There's something I need to tell you first!"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Fang Xiaoru and others who were smiling happily, as if they had gotten a big deal, but he spoke abruptly.

Hearing this, everyone looked at Zhu Yuanzhang again.

"Things from this world can only be used in this world. The watch we gave you cannot be taken back to the Hongwu Dynasty!"

"So you can only cherish this month in front of you and enjoy it!"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Fang Xiaoru and others who were still excited, and struck him mercilessly.

After this kind of time travel, I returned to the Hongwu Dynasty, but could no longer experience the convenience and technical services of later generations. Naturally, I had to let Fang Xiaoru and others have a taste of it!

The happier I am now, the greater the psychological gap will be when I return to the Hongwu Dynasty. If you want to feel uncomfortable, let’s all feel uncomfortable together!

Zhu Yuanzhang would not wait until the day he returned to Hongwu Dynasty to tell them, but he would have to make it clear on the first day of traveling!

It can only be said that Zhu Yuanzhang has a somewhat evil taste.

Sure enough, Zhu Yuanzhang's words were like a basin of cold water, directly pouring down Fang Xiaoru and others!

Originally, they thought they could take the watch with them when they went back, right?

As a result, everything in this world cannot be taken away?

"This...Your Majesty...Master, this watch is so magical, can it really not be brought back to the Hongwu Dynasty?"

Fang Xiaoru, Lan Yu and others immediately became anxious.

Especially Lan Yu. Although he is a martial artist, on the battlefield, the need to determine accurate time is only more urgent and necessary than that of ordinary people and those civil servants in the court!

Having an accurate timing method is also very important for marching and fighting!

This is why Lan Yu will also be anxious!

He was also thinking about whether he could ask Zhu Yuanzhang to buy some more watches and take them back together when he returned to the Hongwu Dynasty!

So you can’t bring anything with you?

"There's nothing we can do. This is what Xiangrui stipulates, and even we can't change it!"

"We don't want to spoil your interest, but when you go back, sooner or later you have to know!"

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head slowly.

"Didn't you say that Master Ninth invented this clock?"

"Then after returning to the Hongwu Dynasty, can Master Ninth invent this clock?"

Li Xin suddenly remembered something at this moment and turned his eyes directly to Zhu Yue.

Since watches from this era cannot be brought back to the Hongwu Dynasty, then they set up their own head office in the Hongwu Dynasty, right?

The person who invented the clock was Zhu Querk!

"This is no problem!"

"Although it is temporarily impossible to make a watch that can be worn on the wrist, building a few clock towers is not a big problem!"

Zhu Li nodded happily when he heard this.

The watch is too small. With the technology of the Hongwu Dynasty, it was something that was unthinkable. After all, there were too many fine parts in it, such as precision gears. It was simply impossible to make it with the existing technology of the Hongwu Dynasty. come out!

However, a large clock tower is equivalent to enlarging a watch hundreds or thousands of times. Although the structure is very complicated, it is just a little more complicated. It only takes a while to make it!

As long as you understand the internal structure of a clock, you can build a large bell tower with the technology of the Hongwu Dynasty!

"Yes, after we return to the Hongwu Dynasty, we will ask Lao Jiu to find a way to build bell towers in Xi'an Mansion and Hanzhong Mansion!"

"This kind of timekeeping method must be promoted in the future so that the entire Ming Dynasty can benefit from it!"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded with deep understanding.

The reason why he attacked Fang Xiaoru and others was to see their attitude. He also hoped that after these ministers returned, they could also promote the popularization of clocks and new timekeeping methods!

Obviously, Zhu Yuanzhang was very satisfied with the reaction of Fang Xiaoru and others, and it was considered to have achieved the effect he wanted!

"Don't worry, sir. After we go back, we will definitely support Master Ninth in building the bell tower!"

After hearing this, Fang Xiaoru and others quickly expressed their attitudes one by one!

"It's a pity that we can only build a bell tower first, but there is no way to make a watch that can be worn on your hand!"

"It would be much more convenient if I could wear these watches when marching and fighting!"

Lan Yu sighed somewhat disappointedly. Zhu Yue could only build a bell tower for the time being. He couldn't let the soldiers carry a bell tower around when they were fighting, right?

You have to be able to carry it!

"You have to eat your food one bite at a time. It has been more than three hundred years since the development of this watch during the Chengwu period!"

"There are so many good things in this era. You can't expect Lao Jiu to make everything for you when he goes back, right?"

"The Ming Dynasty that you can see now is the result of more than three hundred years of accumulation by predecessors. Don't think about unrealistic things!"

Zhu Yuanzhang warned him seriously.

"What the master said is that we are too greedy!"

Li Xin and others responded one after another!
