Chapter 565 The Clock
Chapter 561

Wei Hao asked Wei Yuanzhao not to take part in those people's actions. He knew that Li Shimin would never allow such a thing to happen. The reason why there is no news yet is because Li Shimin also wanted to give those people a warning, nothing Money can be earned, and besides, he also wants to pass this incident as a test.

"My lord, the Ministry of Industry has sent you the things you need!" At this moment, Butler Wang came in and said to Wei Hao.

"Oh, okay, bring it in. In addition, give some happy money to the delivery person. In addition, give the delivery person 100 coins, and say, I thank the craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry!" Wei Hao sat there, He spoke to Steward Wang.

"Okay, son!" Steward Wang left immediately after hearing Wei Hao's words.

"Okay, I don't have anything to do here, so I'll go back first. Anyway, when you go to Luoyang seems to have nothing to do with me now!" Wei Yuanzhao said and stood up.

"Well, I will go to Luoyang. It should be these few days. They asked you to come here, and they probably hope that you can get some news. So, after you go out, let the news out." Wei Hao smiled , said to Wei Yuanzhao.

"You, this?" Wei Yuanzhao looked at Wei Hao in shock, he didn't understand why Wei Hao did this.

"Just go. Anyway, whether you say it or not, I will go to Luoyang in a few days. I want to rest, and I need to go to Luoyang to rest!" Wei Hao smiled and said to Wei Yuanzhao.

"That's fine, then I'll let you out?" Wei Yuanzhao still looked at Wei Hao tentatively and asked, Wei Hao nodded,
Soon Wei Yuanzhao left, and Wei Hao returned to his study. After a while, Steward Wang brought those parts to Wei Hao's study, and Wei Hao began to assemble them in the study. This time Wei Hao made clocks of four specifications,
Of course, there is no watch technology now, and the skills of those craftsmen are not so fine. This needs to be cultivated, but it is still possible to make some clocks. Wei Hao started assembling in the study, and now he just needs to adjust the time. Look at it. Is the time going right?

Of course, there must be some errors, but this error should not be too large. Wei Hao feels that the error of one or two minutes a day is acceptable.
Soon, the first clock was ready. Wei Hao started to wind up the clock, then fixed the hourglass and started counting to see if the error was large. If it was large, it needed to be adjusted.
In this way, Wei Hao sat in the study until the evening. At night, it took a total of ten hours. Wei Hao finished all of them. Among them was a huge one, which was as tall as a person, and there was a sound of knocking on the hour. ring!

"I said what's wrong with you today? Since you entered the study in the morning, you haven't gone out until now. You have to be brought in for dinner. What are you busy with?" Li Lizhi stared at Wei Hao and asked.

"Ah, good stuff, come and have a look!" Wei Hao happily called Li Lizhi over when he heard this.

"What good stuff?" Li Lizhi also asked with interest, he knew that Wei Hao must not be busy in the study, he must be tinkering with something, otherwise, he wouldn't have sat in the study for so long .

"Look!" Wei Hao said happily, holding Li Lizhi's hand.

"Here, what time? It's three o'clock in Xu time now?" Li Lizhi looked at the hands of those clocks, stared at Wei Hao and said, Wei Hao's clock panel, but there are marks, numbers, and twelve o'clock, twelve There are eight quarters in the time, and of course, there are minutes indicating, but Li Lizhi can only understand the twelve o'clock now.

"By the way, there should be no problem. I calculated it carefully. There are twelve hours in a day, and I divided him into 24 hours. Each hour is 10 minutes, and each minute is 60 seconds. Look, let's go ahead." ?" Wei Hao said proudly to Li Lizhi.

"This, you, is that right?" Li Lizhi looked at Wei Hao in surprise and asked.

"It's about the same, maybe a difference of one or two minutes, but it can be adjusted!" Wei Hao touched his chin, thought for a while and said.

"You, you, how did you think of it, ah, why are you so powerful? Can you make this? Go by yourself?" Li Lizhi put her arms around Wei Hao's arm and said excitedly. Of course she knew the meaning of this clock. The importance, now, they all estimate and guess. Of course, some people reminded them, but it is really difficult for ordinary people to know the specific time based on experience.

"Hee hee, it's amazing. Let me tell you, this is only a big one. When the artisans mature, they can make it smaller and can be worn on the hand!" Wei Hao proudly said to Li Lizhi.

"Wear it on your hand, how is it possible, such a big clock, right?" Li Lizhi stared at those clocks carefully at the moment, watching the second hands of those clocks move.

"Tomorrow, I need to make a few good pieces of wood, and I need to scratch the glass and finish it completely, and then send it to the palace. There are two for your father, one for your mother, one for Wei Guifei, and one for your father-in-law's house. We put one at home and one at my father's side, and then we take three to Luoyang, when we are in Luoyang, we can gather workers to do this, and it is estimated that we can make a lot of money!" Wei Hao said to Li Lizhi with a smile.

"Well, good, listen to you, it's hard work!" Li Lizhi happily kissed Wei Hao on the cheek.

"Hey, this needs to be paid for by my father and the others, so I can't give it away!" Wei Hao said while looking at Li Lizhi with a smile.

"Why?" Li Lizhi stared at Wei Hao and asked in confusion.

"You think about it, this is a clock, referred to as a clock, and it has a bad meaning to give this thing, so let the father pay for it, I guess, the father can understand, right, I am not short of this money, just If you don't want to be impeached by the ministers, then there is no need." Wei Hao explained to Li Lizhi.

"Well, that is to ask him for money. How can he get such a good thing for nothing?" Li Lizhi nodded in agreement, then thought of what Wei Hao said just now, as if this clock is not worthy of a prince, So he opened his mouth and said: "Shen Yong, big brother, you don't want to send it?"

"Ah, I forgot, I didn't think about him at all!" Wei Hao also thought of this at the moment, and looked at Li Lizhi.

"Hey, I don't know whether to give it or not. Anyway, I'm still a little angry now, how about you?" Li Lizhi sighed, looked at Wei Hao and asked.

"I haven't. Anyway, how should I put it? In the future, he will take his Yangguan Road and I will take my single-plank bridge. I don't want to be missed by him. I'm telling you this too. Brother, you should listen to women. Ah, the two of us may not end well,

There are few women in the palace who are as grand as the queen mother. In the deep palace, they are very aggrieved, vengeful, and narrow-minded. If the elder brother is soft-hearted, we will be in trouble, you have to think about it. clear!This is fatal to him!I'm not the only one who has this worry. "Wei Hao looked at Li Lizhi and said.

"Anyone else told you about this?" Li Lizhi looked at Wei Hao in surprise and asked.

"Well, whoever said it, I won't tell you. Many people told me this? Otherwise, the officials in the East Palace would not resign. Now the East Palace still lacks officials!" Wei Hao Nodding his head, he spoke.

"Hey!" Li Lizhi sighed at this moment, and then said: "Give him one. If you don't give him one, the meaning is too obvious. I don't know what will be discussed at that time. I will take it, and you don't want it." I'm gone, I think my eldest brother knows what it means, and we won't bother to care about them when we get to Luoyang."

"Okay, then take one and go there. By the way, you should also prepare. Within ten days, we will go to Luoyang. If we want to rest, I also want to go to Luoyang to rest, so as not to hinder other people's eyes here. When we arrive in Luoyang, I can still do something." Wei Hao confessed to Li Lizhi.

"Okay, I see, I'll let them prepare it!" Li Lizhi nodded and said, of course she knows about the affairs of the capital, and she is very clear, after all, she controls so many workshops in her hands, Even the wind and grass can't be hidden from her.

The next morning, after Wei Hao got up, he continued to be busy with the clock, and Li Lizhi didn't bother him, knowing that he was busy, but now Wei's mansion is also busy, some things for summer, It also needs to be cleaned up, and many daily necessities also need to be cleaned up. If there is something missing, it needs to be purchased in advance.
Therefore, with Wei's move, and the news that Wei Yuanzhao released yesterday, those merchants were overjoyed. Wei Hao was finally leaving, so they felt relieved now.
On the side of Ganlu Hall, Li Shimin also received the news. At this moment, Li Shimin was also frowning, thinking that he had agreed to Wei Hao before and let him rest for a few months. Why did he go to Luoyang now? The idea is that Wei Hao needs to sit in Chang'an for a few months to completely dispel the idea of ​​those businessmen. Unexpectedly, Wei Hao is going to take office.

"Well, come here, come to Shenyong's mansion and ask Shenyong if he is free today. If you are free, come to Chengtian Palace and chat with me!" Li Shimin sat in the study on the fifth floor, He opened his mouth and said, now Li Shimin likes the fifth floor the most, because the fifth floor can be seen far away, he likes to climb high and look far!
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Wang De said immediately, cupping his hands. Li Shimin was sitting there, drinking tea and looking at the scenery outside in a daze. The informant came back, Xia Guogong said that he would come tomorrow, and said he wanted to prepare something good for His Majesty, and he is still working on it, and it will be ready tomorrow!"

"Oh, good stuff? Okay, tomorrow will be tomorrow!" Li Shimin said with a smile when he heard it, but he didn't think Wei Hao was being rude, because he promised him that he would never be summoned this month, and he would come to the palace whenever he wanted. If you don't want to come, don't come. After all, Wei Hao, Li Lizhi and Li Siyuan are newlyweds. As someone who has been here, Li Shimin is very considerate.

The next morning, Wei Hao rode a horse, followed by a carriage, and went straight to the direction of the palace. This was Wei Hao's second time out of the mansion in this period of time, so when Wei Hao left the mansion, he had Many people stared at Wei Hao!

Soon, Wei Hao arrived outside Chengtian Palace, followed by the carriage, and then Wei Hao asked the guards to help, and carried two large clocks to Chengtian Palace, and put the largest one, which was placed in the hall on the first floor. In a conspicuous position, Wei Hao even called Wang De over.

"My lord, come, this is a clock. Look, there are twelve hours in it. I have divided each hour into eight quarters. On the other hand, look at the innermost circle, and I have divided the twelve hours into two parts." 24 hours, six 10 minutes per hour, 60 seconds per minute,

And you, come, come to the back, remember to screw this on every morning, until it can’t be screwed, and in addition, within a few days, you can listen to the outside to make changes, if you feel that there is a difference, you can open the cover, Move the minute hand and adjust it. The error is not big. I estimate that it takes fifteen days to have a quarter of an hour error! "Wei Hao explained to Wang De carefully,

Wang De remembered it the first time he heard it, but he knew that this is a good thing, and it must be a good thing if it can have accurate time records, so Wang De studied it very seriously. Remember, Wei Hao asked Wang De to operate again,
After confirming the city, Wei Hao went upstairs with another smaller clock, because Li Shimin was on the fifth floor.Wei Hao went up to the fifth floor with someone carrying the clock.

"Shen Yong, uh, what are you carrying?" Li Shimin was originally reading on the fifth floor, but when he heard the movement, he came out to look and found that Wei Hao was arranging for someone to visit Zhong.

"Father, the clock is for telling the time. I just made this, and I wanted to send it to you. But, Father, I can't give you this. You have to give me the money!" Wei Hao smiled. Said to Li Shimin.

"Here, what are you looking at? Those who read the time, can you still read the time?" Li Shimin nodded and said when he heard it. Wei Hao said he would give money, so he would pay. It doesn't matter, but he is interested in watching the time.
Soon, he arrived at Wei Hao's side. Wei Hao introduced him how to use the clock. After hearing this, Li Shimin was overjoyed. He even asked people to go to the Qin Tianjian to ask the exact time. Wang De arranged for the eunuch to ask. After a while, the eunuch came back and reported the time, which was almost the same as that on the clock.

"Yeah, are you really that powerful?" Li Shimin was surprised, and continued to look at the clock and asked.

"My son is thinking, every time I don't know what the exact time is, I have to ask someone, now it's all right, don't ask, I will guide you when I look at this clock in the future, the error of this clock is about half an hour There is a quarter of an hour difference between the phases of the moon, and it needs to be adjusted, but it is not a big problem!" Wei Hao explained to Li Shimin.

"Okay, this thing is good, hey, how did you get it, and how did he get away by himself?" Li Shimin stared at Wei Hao and asked.

"This, just thinking about it, there is a spring at the back, which allows him to walk by himself. Oh, I can't explain it clearly. Father, you want to know, or I'll take it apart for you to see now?" Wei Hao touched his hand. Head, looked at Li Shimin and asked.

"That's no need, no need, that's fine, that's it, it's best, by the way, this one still needs money from the emperor?" Li Shimin pointed to the clock and asked Wei Hao.

"Father, this can't be given away. Think about it. This is a clock, so can I give it away? My son dare not give it away. Just give me a few pennies as a symbol!" Wei Hao continued to explain to Li Shimin.

"Oh, that's right!" Li Shimin immediately understood what was going on when he heard it.

"By the way, father, I still want to send it to my mother and Concubine Wei, and then I will ask them for money!" Wei Hao then said with a smile.

"No, I gave it to my father, how many seats are there?" Li Shimin asked with a wave of his hand.

"Four, I put a huge one downstairs in the hall of Chengtian Palace, so that the ministers will be able to know the time when they go to court in the future!" Wei Hao replied.

"Well, then 4 guan, Wang De, take the remaining two and send them to the harem, one for the empress and one for Concubine Wei, and teach them how to use them!" Li Shimin told Wang De.

"4 coins, father, it's too expensive, just give 4 coins!" Wei Hao said in surprise.

"That's it. You can make such a good thing with money? Besides, my father likes this thing. You are filial to your father and know how to send it to your father. What is 4 yuan worth? Come on, be careful." Yong, come to the study!" Li Shimin greeted Wei Hao and said,

Li Shimin originally wanted to give the 4 yuan to Wei Hao. He knew that because of Li Chengqian's words before, Wei Hao donated almost half of his shares in one go, and the loss was huge. Li Shimin didn't understand.Soon, Wei Hao and Li Shimin arrived in the study, and Li Shimin poured tea for Wei Hao.

"Shen Yong, the outside said that you are going to Luoyang these few days, didn't you mean to rest? It's okay, the emperor won't force you this time, you can go whenever you want!" Li Shimin explained to Wei Hao .

"Yes, I know, I'm only going this time, but I have a mission. I know that the development of Luoyang is still in the second place. The key is the food problem. If I'm in Chang'an, I can't think about it. After all, I don't know what Time to go to Luoyang,

Therefore, Erchen's idea is to go to Luoyang first, put the rest aside, and study the food issue first, hoping to make some achievements. In addition, Erchen also knows that if Erchen continues to stay in Chang'an, he will be punished by others. No, they are looking forward to their children going out every day! "Wei Hao explained to Li Shimin with a wry smile.

"You don't need to worry about them, are you still afraid of them? Really, you have to know that if you leave, there may be chaos in the capital. Those people are not good people!" Li Shimin confessed to Wei Hao.

"I know, I'm not afraid of them! I went to Luoyang for food. Besides, Wei Chen just went there. I'm worried that he won't be able to stop him. After all, Luoyang wants to develop workshops. I know, if Wei Chen goes over and does nothing, what will the common people think of us, so we still have to do something in the past, not for other things, just for those poor people." Wei Hao smiled, and then said in a flat tone , Li Shimin sighed.
