The first legitimate son of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 125 Time and Watches

After getting the three poems, Li Zhi's mood was obviously different from when he first came. When Li Zhi first came, he was depressed and anxious, but now Li Zhi is confident and excited. Take a leap of faith and clear away the gloom.

"Uncle Zongnu, let's go see the pandas together." Li Duoduo likes to play with Li Zhi, because Li Zhi is very good to her. No, as soon as Li Duoduo said it, Li Zhi immediately nodded: "Let's go Go see the pandas.”

The two of them went to see Lele and Yaya together, leaving Li An alone and speechless, because Li An was just about to talk to Li Zhi and asked Li Zhi to give Li An the aerosol he just bought from Hyundai. Mingda and Empress Changsun brought them there, and Li An also bought gift mechanical watches for Li Zhi and Li Mingda when he returned to Hyundai this time.

Time is very important both in modern times and in ancient times. People in ancient times had a very strong concept of time.Ancient emperors generally had very regular work and rest times.

For example, in the early morning of every day, we have morning breakfast, breakfast after breakfast, etc. Such a very regular life is completed strictly in accordance with the time requirements.It shows that ancient people had a strong sense of time.

Time has also become an insurmountable obstacle in people's lives.In many industries in ancient times, during the work process, relevant work must be completed according to clear time requirements.

For example, during the weaving process, the weaving speed and time taken will be calculated.Five horses were cut off in three days, so I thought it was too late.When ancient people weaved cloth, they needed to increase their horsepower and weave cloth at a very fast speed, which needed to be completed according to time requirements.

The ancients got up at 5-7 in the morning and fell asleep at 9-11 in the evening. If we must summarize the differences between ancient and modern work and rest, the most obvious feature of the ancients can be said to be early to bed and early to rise: about two hours earlier than us, and earlier than us. Get up in two hours, that's all.

So time is very important.Time was strictly observed in many industries in ancient times. For example, many small traders, many officials, farmers, etc. would arrange their work and rest strictly according to the requirements of time. This is the important meaning of time.

If there was no sense of time, then ancient vendors would not set up their stalls on time, ancient officials would be late for work, and there would be chaos in peasant areas. This is a very bad phenomenon.

There were Bell and Drum Towers in the Tang Dynasty. Bells were sounded in the morning to tell the time, and drums were played in the evening to tell the time. This is how the saying "morning bells and evening drums" came about.

As we all know, curfew was implemented in the Tang Dynasty, so street drums were set up on the main streets to tell the time along with the Bell and Drum Towers, so that the whole city could know the beginning of the night curfew.After the evening drum is played, no one is allowed to come out to the main street, otherwise they will be beaten.

In the Tang Dynasty, there were indeed examples of people being beaten to death for being drunk and breaking the night ban.

Since time is so important, the mechanical watch brought back by Li An can accurately and easily know the passage of time. Li An believes that as long as the mechanical watch is launched, it will definitely be the hottest sought after by the upper-class families in Chang'an City. At this time, Li An He will not use mechanical watches to do business. He will become a stepping stone for Ang Lee to make friends. Why would Ang Lee do this?
It's very simple. This is a reminder to Li An about Tang Shanshi. Li An has no allies now. This time it is clear that Li An knows that the Tang family has murderous intentions for him, but Li An has to choose to endure it. This is not in line with Li An. An's character, coupled with this time when she returned to modern times, she learned that someone actually wanted to kill her daughter.

Li An also realized that if Li An hides in Lijia Village alone, no matter how strong the Lijia Village is built, it will not help. Yue Fei still has hundreds of thousands of troops and twelve gold medals. Yue Fei will have to die. , Li An has nothing to do, so Li An needs allies and support. He needs someone to speak to him when someone slanders him.

Mechanical watches are a stepping stone. When Li Zhi appears with a mechanical watch, Li An believes that it will definitely attract the attention of the princes and nobles. At that time, they will definitely come to him. Li An only makes friends to give away mechanical watches and does not sell them. It is said that taking advantage of others and eating them softly, by that time, Li An became friends with everyone and maintained a good relationship. Li An believed that as long as Lijiacun does not do anything rebellious in the future, these people will definitely give Lijiacun three Divide thin noodles.

Like what happened to Tang Shanshi this time, Li An would not tolerate it and would directly bring Tang Cheng to the door. When the time comes, Li An would definitely have someone to support him. This is what Li An thinks of.

This time Li An brought a total of ten mechanical watches. You must know that these mechanical watches are different from electronic watches. They are filled with mechanical parts, which should be accepted by the ancients. It’s just that the ancients couldn’t make such small mechanical parts, but they did. You will know how mechanical watches work.

In this way, the ancients will recognize it and will not have other ideas. Li An has already thought of the words and just said that it is something from his hometown. Anyway, these people don’t know where their hometown is, so let him guess casually, as long as If you don't say anything yourself and are vague, it will be useless for these people to guess.Li An went upstairs and took down the asthma medicine and the mechanical watch. Liu Yiyi came in at this time to clear away the dishes and chopsticks, and then went to make a cup of tea. Unfortunately, Li An didn't smoke, otherwise he would have had another cigarette. Happy as a god.

It was around 14 o'clock when Li Duoduo and Li Zhi ran back from playing wildly outside. Li Duoduo and Li Zhi had a good relationship, probably because Li Zhi had played with Li Mingda since he was a child. Li Zhi understands the little girl's thoughts very well, and coupled with Li Zhi's respect for Li An, Li Zhi is really good to Li Duoduo after Ai Wu Ji Wu.

Because of this goodness, Li Duoduo felt it, so Li Duoduo also liked Li Zhi very much.

"Dad, I'm thirsty." Li Duoduo said he was thirsty after coming in, and Li An handed over his tea, and Li Duoduo took a big sip.

Here Li Zhi smiled and said: "Brother Li, I'm going back. Next time when I win the cherry forest back, let's go have some fun together."

"Okay..." Li An nodded with a smile.

Just when Li Zhi was about to leave, Li An took the lead and shouted: "Wait a minute."

"What's wrong?" Li Zhi stopped.

"I went back to my hometown last time. I brought some medicine for my son and the empress. You can help me bring them back!" Li An called to stop Li Zhi.

Li Zhi smiled: "That's great. Last time Sizi told me that the aerosols were running out. Now it's better. Sizi doesn't have to worry."

As he said that, Li Zhi took the aerosol packed in a cloth bag. At this time, Li An continued: "This time when I go back, I also brought you a gift." As he said that, Li An took out a A wooden box with a mechanical watch lying inside.

Li Zhi took the wooden box and opened it and asked in a daze: "Brother Li, what is this?"

"This is a watch to tell the time." Li Duoduo came over and said.

"The watch tells the time?" Li Zhi was a little surprised: "Can you still tell the time?"

"Why can't you tell the time?" Li Duoduo glanced at the mechanical watch and said, "It's 14:22 in the afternoon."

Li An nodded slightly: "It's not six seconds yet...!"
