The first thousand three hundred and seventy-three chapters proudly fat Li influence
The bell tower attracted many people's attention at the beginning of the construction, because tents were set up outside the construction site, blocking people's sight, which successfully aroused people's curiosity and speculations about what was being built here.
As the bell tower gets higher and higher, the tents that block outside are also higher and higher, and people's curiosity is getting heavier and stronger. Every day, many people stop outside and watch.
"Good guy, it's too tall! The tent is probably more than twenty meters tall, twice as tall as the city wall!"
"Yes, what is being built here? No matter how high it is, it will catch up with the high-rise building of the main palace!"
Finally, on June 20th, the second prince personally brought the ribbon to cut the ribbon. The white curtain tent was removed and the bell tower was presented to everyone.
The bell tower is round, twenty-three meters high, and at the top is square. Each side has a dial with hour and minute hands hanging.
"What kind of building is this? It's so strange!" Everyone who saw it had this idea.
"This is a bell tower, used to report time, and a brand new timing method is used. In the future, people can use this bell tower to determine the time..." The second prince gave a rough explanation and led people away, leaving only a few bell towers.
guard.
Although it is far from the lively and sensational scene that the people are looking forward to, many people still stand in the distance to study it.
The impact of the bell tower was not great in the first few days. After all, people have long been used to hourglass timing. But gradually it became different. The hourglass was not carried with you, and this bell tower is really too convenient. Such a tall building, as long as it is
The distance is not very far and you can see it almost as soon as you look up.
Gradually, people have realized the convenience and practicality of the bell tower, and more and more people have begun to get used to the twenty-four-hour timing method. They can even know what time it is at home, because every hour the bell tower will ring the bell.
Just knock a few times.
In the following days, the clock tower and the new timing methods became increasingly affected. People discovered that the new timing methods were not only convenient, but also accurate. Many merchants around the clock tower began to open the doors as they listened to the bells. People nearby also went out to work as they listened to the bells.
.
As the influence of the bell tower becomes greater and greater, many families feel that the hourglass is becoming increasingly inconvenient. Especially those residents far away from the bell tower often make time when they come into contact with residents close to the bell tower.
The new timing method is gradually accepted by people, and the Li family is bustling because they have a clock and the timing method is the same as that of the clock tower.
Many nobles came to visit the house, placing the slogan of discussing business, but in fact they wanted to see the appearance of the clock and find out how to sell the clock.
Fatty Li smiled at the ear of his mouth every day. He couldn't tell the smugness in his heart. The entire imperial capital only had a clock in his hand, and he had not spent a copper plate. It was given by Master Jiang! He felt that he was being picked up by the Stars.
The decision was wise. At that time, he had to buy the clock by himself, but as a result, Sir Jiang gave one.
Although this is just a clock for clocking, it can fully reflect your status. The heads of those big families are polite to talk to them. In the past, I was a businessman, let alone facing the heads of the big families.
The children of the big family all turned their nostrils upwards, and they didn't even have to look directly at them.
But now, they all have to come and curry favor with them. When they were snatching the quota of students the previous period, the performance of those great nobles was even more flattering than they are now.
Looking at those who were watching the clock and hearing that this was what Jiang Xingchen gave it, the fat man could fly into the sky with pride. This kind of refreshingness is simply like enjoying food...
At the same time, the atmosphere in the Imperial Palace was a bit depressing. The emperor was not thinking about the clocks. But the Fang family, although they were a conservative force. But after surrendering, they were always honest. Unexpectedly, they dared to steal the steel factory this time.
The most annoying thing is that the important figure of the Fang family actually ran away in advance and could not search for it. Obviously, they had a strange intention long ago and were ready to retreat.
"Have you not found it yet?" The emperor asked an old man in black who was sagging. The main personnel of the Fang family had been searching for many days after they disappeared.
"It's still not, I can't find any clues!" The old man in black shook his head.
"Yeah!" The emperor sighed helplessly, feeling a little depressed. Jiang Xingchen suddenly returned, and all the forces immediately stopped. He also retreated from the Yueying Kingdom. But unexpectedly, he received a letter from Jiang Xingchen as soon as he gave the order.
.It clearly states that the Fang family's crimes not only blow up the railway, but also sneak into the steel plant to steal.
"Didn't he cause trouble for me?" The emperor sent someone to the Fang family angrily, but found that the Fang family had fled.
"Look, keep looking. There is no clue for so many people in the Fang family to escape!" The emperor said in a deep voice.
"Yes!" The old man in black responded and disappeared in the hall in a flash.
A moment after the old man in black left, the emperor smashed the teacup in his hand. After so many years of controlling the empire, there was still such an existence as the Fang family, which made him doubt how many families there were still with dissatisfaction below.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong?" The beautiful imperial concubine came in through the side door and walked closer.
"It's okay!" The emperor waved his hand upset and stepped out of the palace gate. The imperial concubine looked at his back quietly from behind, with a flash of light in her eyes...
The imperial capital has never lacked business-minded people. Seeing that the influence of the clock tower gradually expands, even if you don’t know that the Li family has clocks, you can judge that the Xingchenling must have a brand new timing device. Therefore, many businesses want to seize this business opportunity, and they all
Hurry up to the Stars.
At this time, the news that Jiang Xingchen returned with Mei'er had spread. Compared with the two things in the Qiankun Emperor Capital, it was obvious that Jiang Xingchen's return had a greater impact. What can be reflected most is the Yueshade Kingdom, sent by various countries.
The messenger immediately shrank back, fearing that Jiang Xingchen would catch the handle.
A few days later, a letter was sent to the Yueying Palace. It was written by Jiang Xingchen to Emperor Yueying. Thanks to him for his reminder and protection for Ren Xia, saying that he would thank him again in the future.
Emperor Yueying was happy. Although he offended many forces this time, he eased his relationship with Jiang Xingchen. When he thought of more than 20 high-level flying monsters falling from the sky, his scalp tightened. Fortunately, he seized the opportunity this time.
Otherwise, there will be bombs falling from the sky at some point...
Dali and the emperor of the Daqin Kingdom finally breathed a sigh of relief. The railway that had previously cooperated with Jiang Xingchen suddenly stopped, which scared them, and the subsequent Mei'er's departure made them even more heartbroken. They took them away with Xingchen.
It's too close. If something happens to Jiang Xingchen, they will be most affected.
Now that Jiang Xingchen has finally returned safely, the emperors of the two kingdoms laughed out loud after receiving the news, and immediately sent people to the Curse Land and Xingchen Leader to continue to negotiate cooperation with the railway...
In the next few days, the bell towers in the main cities of the Qiankun Empire were completed one after another, and the new timing method had a larger and wider range of influence. Its convenience and intuition were accepted by more and more people.
Starling, Grandpa Fu smiled: "I thought it would take half a year, but I didn't expect the bell tower to be so effective!"
Jiang Xingchen smiled and nodded, this was a situation he had expected. In fact, people have a strong ability to accept and learn new things. I remember that he had seen it in his previous life that a scientist handed over a tablet to children in backward areas, where
Some children have never even watched TV, but they can unlock the computer, find games, and operate them skillfully within a few days.
"I have asked Xianning to study the shape of watches, mainly to reduce the size, and you can process and produce them after a period of time!"
"What price is probably at?" Grandpa Fu asked.
"It won't be too expensive, but it won't be too cheap!" The clock is not complicated after being skilled in making, but the materials are very expensive, with good wood, good metal, and glass. You should know that the fired glass is now
Those who need to use Yuan stone are also the reason why glass prices remain high.
"Let me think about the pricing!" After Grandpa Fu left, Jiang Xingchen stretched and saw that it was almost eleven o'clock and Mei'er had not come back yet.
"Hey! This girl!" Jiang Xingchen shook his head helplessly. After coming back for a day, Mei'er plunged into the city hall. It was early to come back before twelve o'clock in the evening, and left again at less than 7 o'clock in the morning.
.
Sitting in a chair waiting for Mei'er to come back, Jiang Xingchen studied the fusion array of vitality.
He had also studied the uses of the new formation when he was free before, but he found that it seemed that there was no other use except that he could atomize when gathering his vitality.
Not only that, the progress of this formation was also quite slow. He had already absorbed the Yuan crystal of the poisonous dragon turtle, but the formation only spread to the forehead, which was slower than the snail.
In this case, he did not dare to take the Sea Spirit Marrow, worried that he would not be able to do anything and wasted in vain.
Originally, he was wondering whether he could drain the vital energy of the world around him to develop the formation. But he found that only the material exploration array could have such an effect, and the vital energy fusion array was useless at all.
"It's really strange. It seems that the fusion array of energy is not as effective as the material exploration array!" Jiang Xingchen sighed, and after exploring for a long time, he was still the same, and there was nothing special about gathering the qi.
It was already the end of June, and Jiang Xingchen had been sitting in the house for a long time and felt a little hot. He turned on the electric fan and blew it for a while and it didn't work. Then he walked out of the door and prepared to take a shower.
As soon as I arrived in the yard, I saw the kitchen door open and two small figures tiptoed out.
"Huh? Xiaomei and Xiaoyu, you haven't slept yet so late, so why are you going to the kitchen for?" Jiang Xingchen asked.
"Ah! Sir, we... did nothing!" The two little girls shook their heads and wiped their mouths, not knowing what they said.
Jiang Xingchen laughed. These two girls are so interesting. Their cheeks are still bulging, so I don’t know how to swallow the food before coming out.
"Two little foodies, eating too much is not good for your health, especially at this time... Look at you, you have gained a lot of weight than when you first came here. Will you be quite a fat girl in the future?"
Jiang Xingchen smiled and poked the two little girls' bulging cheeks, then turned around and walked towards the bathhouse. But as soon as he turned around, he felt dizzy, his eyes turned black, and two screams of exclamations sounded in his ears! (~^~)
