There is no doubt that there is nothing to say about how strongly attractive things like pocket watches were to people in pre-modern society.
In the pre-modern Victorian era of Great Britain, almost half of the urban legends and fantasy novels were related to pocket watches. Even in literature without ghosts and Gothic elements, the lid of a pocket watch closed with a "pop!"
Sound is often a sign that the protagonist is about to launch a big action.
Things that keep time always attract people's extra attention. In the "Masonic" culture that may be an urban legend in later generations, or may be real, the idea of "compasses" often exists, but... there is also a considerable amount of research
It shows that this intention does not refer to the compass, but the two pins of the clock. And in later generations...
When people talk about CPUs, they also use "pins" to describe the copper signal lines arranged in an array, and "clocks" to mark the working efficiency of the memory.
And in this period... there was no processor or memory, but there was no doubt that the pocket watch was an absolutely eye-catching thing.
But of course, right now...the pocket watch is just one of the many drawing books that Li Sheng has on hand.
This can also be regarded as Li Sheng's occupational disease. When a person, as a drawing dog, needs to make a living by drawing, the "design drawing" is a plague-stricken thing that makes people hate it when they see it. But on the contrary... when people don't need
When you rely on this thing to make a meal, it becomes endless fun every minute.
The production of pocket watches and the precision of those parts... without hiring a jewelry craftsman, it's almost impossible to figure out how to process them.
However, Li Sheng had no intention of chatting with Chai Shao about these matters. He just nodded and said, "Of course. Jewelry craftsmen are certainly much better at making things than blacksmiths in blacksmith shops..."
After saying that, Chai Shao smiled and understood...
Not only did Chai Shao already know the efficacy of the sextant that Li Sheng created, but he was also... extremely impressed.
The reason is very simple. When opening various military towns in the South China Sea, or various footholds for the great cause of maritime trade, the sextant saved Chai Shao's life and the lives of the entire fleet not once or twice.
However... it was also because he had personally used a sextant that Chai Shao understood the limitations of this device.
Although it is said that there are sextants on the market in the Jiangdong area that are more useful than the original ones made by Li Sheng, they are a mixed bag... and their authenticity is questionable.
At this moment, Li Sheng personally told this news, and there was a high-end sextant, so Chai Shao felt much more at ease for a moment.
If this is the case, then there will be no problem with the army traveling! However, it is nothing more than...
When Chai Shao heard that Li Sheng said there was a more useful sextant, he nodded with joy, but then he looked a little worried.
Li Sheng noticed it and couldn't help being shocked.
"Mr. Chai, is there anything else you're worried about?"
This time Li Er transferred Li Sheng to Laizhou... The emperor must have a name for doing things, and Li Sheng's name is still a military advisor.
However, Li Sheng really didn't understand what Chai Shao was struggling with at the moment.
I saw Chai Shao contemplating for a moment, and then showed an imperceptible wry smile...
"But it's nothing major, just trivial matters... Holy King, please be at ease. The conditions in Laizhou are not good. Let the old man make arrangements for the Holy King."
Li Sheng was a little surprised when Chai Shao said this...
Of course Li Sheng could clearly see Chai Shao's wry smile, but... Li Sheng was still very relieved for the veteran general.
Anyway, the generals and ministers who can go to Lingyan Pavilion have been personally selected by Li Er, and their personal relationships are quite good, which shows that both their ability and character are rare in the world. Of course, then again, there is no group of capable people.
Following people with great personalities, it would be difficult for Li Er and his family to conquer this huge country...
And Li Sheng... Although as a science student, he is not very familiar with these princes... If he hadn't traveled through time, he might not have known which prince this guy Yuchi was in his entire life. But...
Even as a science student, Li Sheng has known Li Shimin's name since he was a child, and he has admired this war-god-like military genius emperor. If he even highly recognizes this guy, then what should he worry about...
Since Chai Shaodu said that there was no need to worry about the military advisor, Li Sheng of course nodded and saluted and left... For Li Sheng, the biggest expectation of coming here this time was Laizhou rather than any military exploits.
As for military merit... oh, two of the high-level military academies in the Tang Dynasty have been renovated now, and the teachers are all taught by powerful officials. I am afraid that there will be a shortage of Forbidden Army soldiers who want to earn military merit. Compared to these...
For me, a professional bastard who is half retired, Laizhou’s seafood is the most worthy of me...
Although Li Sheng has lived in Hangzhou for many years, because of the good water and soil conditions in Hangzhou, seafood... In Hangzhou, fishing is a low-income fishermen's occupation... Although Li Sheng's canteen in the industrial zone
Here, many chefs who specialize in seafood have been consciously promoted, but...
To this day, seafood in Hangzhou is still as cheap as cabbage and radish, and has not become as popular as it was in later generations.
The reason for this... Li Sheng thought about it. On the one hand, it is because the fishery resources in this era are still too abundant. Things are rare and valuable, and if you get it easily, you will not cherish it... On the other hand, it is also a rural plot. For the people of China,
For us, food is just something to fill the stomach, and rice and noodles are the source of security. No matter how delicious the seafood is, if it doesn't give people a sense of security, it's just nonsense... not worth the extra money.
This kind of rural plot is of course good politically. Even Li Sheng, a science student, knows that people who are nostalgic are the most trustworthy, but... the conditions will get better and better in the future, but the people are still unwilling to eat more meat, fish, shrimp, eggs, milk...
At that time, the national nutrition will be insufficient and the development of the breeding industry will lag, which will not be good.
Of course, there is no doubt that this kind of trivial matter will slowly resolve itself over time, and Li Sheng has no doubt that if the problem does not resolve itself, Li Er, Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling... these big guys
I will think of a way. Compared to these...
In Laizhou, because of the saline-alkali soil, the food production is not good, but because of this, the seafood culture is more developed... Of course, Li Sheng has to enjoy these tips for finding delicious food first...
And Chai Shao watched Li Sheng leave from a distance...
Quietly shook his head with emotion, thinking to himself that this talent from heaven was different from ordinary people, yet he was just strolling in the courtyard when the war was about to begin.
Turning around, Chai Shao's face suddenly became serious and he shouted out the window of this small house, "Prince Bin, come here and obey your order!"
