Farmhouse Golden Phoenix

Chapter 191

Shen Junxiu nodded with a smile, stretched out his hand to hold the pendulum clock out of the box, it was really as big as a human head, and without any decoration, it was just a dial, without even a glass surface on the outside, everything was directly exposed to the air inner.

It was the first time for Su Qinghe to see this kind of, um, very simple pendulum clock, and she really couldn't help being curious.There are twelve scales on it, but there are only six hours, so each large scale has a word or two. For example, Ziwu is written together, and Chouwei is written together. There is a middle scale in the middle of the large scale, and the left and right sides of the middle scale Each has a small scale, which seems a bit cumbersome.

No way, Arabic numerals and Roman numerals are not popular.Su Qinghe planned to modify the numbers on the clocks and watches after half a year, but she was worried that by then, everyone would get used to these Chinese characters and not used to the numbers, so it would be another trouble.

Fortunately, the current clock is just a sample, and there is still some time before mass production, so she still has time to regret it.

The dial is made of iron, and the pendulum is a ball, hollow.Shen Junxiu put the pendulum clock upright on the table, then pulled off the back cover, twisted it a few times, and then the pendulum began to swing up and down.

"Well, is the time accurate?" Su Qinghe turned to ask Shen Junxiu, and Shen Junxiu nodded: "Su Zhao said that he and Su Ming stared together for two days, and it was indeed the same time as the hourglass."

"It can only be this big? Can't it be smaller?" Su Qinghe looked at it for a while and then asked, Shen Junxiu sighed and nodded: "The things inside are too delicate, blacksmiths can't make such small things."

Shen Junxiu gestured, it was smaller than a fingernail, what should I do?It took a lot of hard work to be able to do this.

"Can you tell the time?" Su Qinghe was disappointed for a moment, and then asked excitedly, she was already content with being able to do this!There are no machines in this era, and things made by hand, unless she intends to produce one a year, otherwise, she can only accept the current finished product.

If you want to continue to improve in the future, you have to improve the experimental equipment first.It's a pity that she doesn't know anything about these.

Shen Junxiu nodded and said with a smile: "Of course it is possible. It is the same as the method of telling the time on the astronomical platform. Wait a moment, I will set the clock faster, and you will be able to see it in a while."

As he said that, he reached out and dialed the dial. There is no minute or second hand on it, but only one hand, which is the hour hand.When it was set near the large scale, the couple stared at the pendulum clock without blinking their eyes.

After about one stick of incense, the pendulum stopped, and immediately, a little man popped up on the clock. The little man held a small gong in his hand. retracted.

"It's over?" Su Qinghe waited for a long time, and seeing the pendulum started to swing again, she turned to ask Shen Junxiu, Shen Junxiu was puzzled: "What else do you want to see?"

"Well, you're dialing Mao, shouldn't you be knocking four times?" Su Qinghe was a little puzzled. She remembered that in her previous life, her grandmother's antique pendulum clock would ring several times when it was time.

"When will it ring a few times?" Shen Junxiu touched his chin: "This idea is quite good. I will ask Su Zhao and the others later to see if they can improve it. Now that this thing has been developed, should we consider what to do next? Made money?"

Su Qinghe looked surprised: "Isn't this something you men should do?" Then she smiled and shook her head: "Don't look at me, I just plan to count the money, you can also discuss it with the third brother, didn't you say before, Divide him [-]% of the shares?"

Shen Junxiu thought for a while, his face was a bit embarrassed, Su Qinghe reached out and pinched his cheek: "What do you remember?"

Shen Junxiu hesitated, Su Qinghe pinched his nose: "I don't want to bother to guess, tell me quickly, what do you think of?"

"I think, let father help us." Shen Junxiu said after deliberation: "Look, no one has seen this thing before, even if it is put on display, people may not buy it, everyone is more accustomed to using hourglasses, right? ?”

Su Qinghe nodded, indeed, once everyone's habits are formed, it is somewhat difficult to change.Moreover, this habit is not formed in a day or two, but it has been left over for thousands of years. It may not be easy to change it.

"But this thing of yours costs a lot to make. A watch that sells for 100 taels of silver can't care about the cost at all, right?" Shen Junxiu asked again, and Su Qinghe nodded. It was necessary. In order to keep Su Zhao and Su Ming, she The salaries for these two people are [-]% dry shares for each of them, and the remaining researchers add up to [-]% dry shares.

Now that the business has not yet opened, she has already given away 2% of the shares.She and Shen Junxiu are still responsible for the various materials needed for research. The scrapped iron materials cost thousands of taels of silver every year, as well as wood materials, as well as the living expenses and housing expenses of the researchers. Spend [-] taels of silver.

After three years of research, she spent 6 taels of silver.If you want to mass-produce, you still have to ask for silver.

There is only [-]% bonus left, she really doesn't earn much.

"But 100 taels of silver is enough for a medium-sized family of five or six people. You don't need to work. As long as you don't get sick or have accidents, you can live a lifetime with enough food and clothing, right?"

Shen Junxiu continued to ask, Su Qinghe sighed greatly: "You don't have to settle with me, I know what you mean, isn't it because this thing is too cheap to care about the cost, and it's so expensive that ordinary people won't buy it at all?" ? Isn’t the standard we set before selling to rich people?”

"For rich people, if the father likes this thing very much and rewards the ministers with this thing, will they want to buy it?" Shen Junxiu finally stated his purpose, Su Qinghe waved his hand: "I am not Have you said that? Well, how you want to sell this thing is your business, you can sell it however you want, and we will send Father Emperor seven or eight, and let him reward him as he pleases."

"That's not what I mean. If you want Royal Father's help, there must be a price that can impress Royal Father, right?" Shen Junxiu secretly breathed a sigh of relief after saying this, and carefully observed Su Qinghe's expression.

Su Qinghe looked at Shen Junxiu expressionlessly for about 3 minutes, then gritted her teeth: "How much money do you plan to give Father this time?"

"Here, I want to give [-]% of the stock to my father." Shen Junxiu rubbed his nose, feeling very embarrassed.Su Qinghe exclaimed: "Twenty percent!" She only has sixty percent left, okay?In order to make this business less eye-catching, she planned to sell another [-]% of it!

It's not easy to do a unique business, even if she is a princess, she still has the crown princess, the eldest prince concubine, and all kinds of old princes, unless she intends to make Shen Junxiu never associate with people in the royal family, otherwise, just Some sacrifices have to be made.

If [-]% is given away and [-]% is given away, isn't that only [-]% left?
In the blink of an eye, she thought of another question: "Now I have given [-]% to the third brother. If I give [-]% to the father, the father will have something to do in the future. If the third brother is something like that, isn't it [-]%? We have more!"

Shen Junxiu was silent for a while, and then smiled for a long time: "Father might not leave it to the third brother, if something happens to the father, it is fine if the third brother succeeds, if it is not for the third brother, the new emperor might be able to see Give us a way to live in the share of these two shares. And even if the third brother succeeds, our two shares can buy a good future for the future. You don’t want Lekang to be a rich and idle person in the future Bar?"

Su Qinghe thought about it for a few times, and smiled wryly: "Are you sure that if the third brother hadn't succeeded to the throne, then [-]% of the shares would have exchanged our lives? Don't you know what it means to be unsatisfied?"

Shen Junxiu shook his head: "That can also be used as asking money."

"Okay, okay, anyway, you are a man, these things are up to you." Su Qinghe thought for a long time, and finally admitted that she is not a political material, and waved her hand quite irritably: "Anyway, even if it is only [-]%, We can also make money, but, let me tell you, you can’t give any of the remaining [-]% to others. We contributed manpower, material resources, ideas, and various things. In the end, if We can't keep even thirty percent, so we might as well break up right now."

Shen Junxiu couldn't help laughing: "How can you sell the goods in bulk? Your money for the past three years was wasted? Besides, Su Zhao and Su Ming know how to make it. If you want to invest in another Mingzhu, you will lose money." died?"

Su Qinghe curled her lips, stretched out her hand and pinched Shen Junxiu hard: "Speaking of Su Zhao and Su Ming, what are your plans?"

"Don't worry about this, the person is in my hands, and it is impossible to fall into other people's hands. Turning around, I will ask my father for some hidden guards to completely seal this place." Shen Junxiu's eyes darkened, Said slightly harshly.

Su Qinghe thought for a while, then leaned into Shen Junxiu's arms: "I have an idea, listen to it, if it works, we don't need to send too many people over to monitor."

"Tell me." Shen Junxiu combed Su Qinghe's hair with his fingers, and Su Qinghe rubbed his head on his chest: "Let's separate these craftsmen and build many separate factories. The people in each factory are only responsible for one Or two parts, the people in the last workshop are responsible for assembling these parts."

Shen Junxiu was stunned for a moment, and then laughed loudly: "I'm really obsessed. There is such a good way, but I didn't even think of it. Lady, you are so smart. I will send people to build a factory right away, and work alone. I don’t know who did what, even if I know, it’s not easy to learn.”

Su Qinghe also squinted her eyes and smiled. It's a pity that there is no machine. However, the pendulum clock has appeared, so machines will always appear, right?
It's like playing cotton, didn't it exist before cotton appeared?Later, when there was more cotton, didn't the profession of cotton picking, along with various tools, appear one by one?

Well, don't think about it anymore, this kind of thing is too much to think about, anyway, this matter is under Shen Junxiu's control.I might as well go back and think about who should distribute the remaining [-]% of the shares, and how to distribute them.
