Chapter 316 Competition and Jealousy Lead to Technology Explosion

Yang reformed to Kunning Palace.

It was rare to smile, and the depressed mood was swept away.

"Your Majesty, what are you laughing at? So happy?" Empress Zhou Wan'er also came out to greet her. Although her stomach hadn't bulged yet, she was still supported by Yang Reform with great concern, as if she was afraid of falling.

"Oh, Wan'er, be careful, you're pregnant, don't move around!" Yang Reform hurriedly supported her, as if afraid of accidents.

"Your Majesty, no, Wan'er is doing very well, she's not that bad, hehe, it's only been a few months now! It's not too late to walk, besides, the imperial doctor said, you can do some exercise properly, Properly move the limbs, so that sitting for a long time is not good for the fetus." Zhou Wan'er replied with a smile.

"Well, okay, listen to the imperial physician, but you must also pay attention, I need someone to watch, so I can rest assured." Yang Reform instigated.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, is there no one to serve as the empress of Daming?" Zhou Wan'er smiled slightly.

"Well, don't worry, don't worry, I'm very relieved." Yang Reform couldn't help but nodded, it was purely his first time as a father, and he was completely at a loss.

"By the way, Your Majesty, Your Majesty promised Wan'er that he would get Wan'er a weighing instrument. Now, is there any news?" Zhou Wan'er began to act like a baby, and took the initiative to hold Yang Reform's hand, as if the weighing instrument It's just a toy, as long as there is one.

Yang Reform began to be "scared". Recently, he was afraid of being shaken by Zhou Waner. Now he can hold his hand and shake it for half an hour. fetus.

"Yes, yes, yes, there are clues, no, I'll come here as soon as I have clues." Yang Reform quickly took Zhou Wan'er's hand, and pulled Zhou Wan'er closer to Kunning Palace.

Yang Reform now has a better understanding of women's jealousy. Sun Liniang produced a thermometer and a weighing instrument, and Zhou Wan'er got it. She must also have a weight and measure, and a weighing instrument, otherwise, she would just drag her every day. Start to act like a baby, and don't give up until the goal is achieved. For a pregnant woman, Yang Reform knows that he can't be reasonable.

"Really? Your Majesty, don't lie to me?" Zhou Wan'er did nothing but fight for breath. Why can a female emperor outside the palace give her such a great reputation and a weighing instrument, why not the one in the palace?Just to fight for it.

"Really, no, it has already been brought?" There is another reason why Yang Reform is so happy today. Finally, there is one thing that can be handed over. Otherwise, Yang Reform would also be a headache if he reminded Zhou Wan'er every day.

"Big Companion, show Wan'er that clock that you can hold in your arms." Yang Reform thanked the craftsman named Wang Damao. The things made by this craftsman finally have something to do with weighing instruments. Yang Reform wants to break the scalp and invent another weighing instrument at the end of the Ming Dynasty. Even if Yang Reform develops all kinds of gold fingers, he may not be able to make it in a short time. This clock is considered an advanced thing anyway, and it can be measured Time, although it is not a new invention, but somehow it has something to do with it, right?
"As you order, Your Majesty." Wang Chengen agreed, and then personally showed the latest "Huaizhong" to Queen Zhou Wan'er.

"Ma'am, please look, this is the latest clock invented by the Inspectorate. It used to be as tall as a person and required a lot of space. Now, the craftsmen have made it small enough to be hugged in your arms. It is a wonderful workmanship." It is also much more accurate than before, His Majesty has ordered that this kind of bell will be changed even smaller, it will be as small as the size of a palm..., Madam, this is a good thing!" Wang Chengen said to Zhou Wan'er with a benevolent eyebrow. explain.

"Really? Isn't there such a thing in the palace? There is one in this palace, the Kunning Palace? Your Majesty uses all these things to deceive people. Although this thing is made smaller, it is nothing. It is a rare thing, and it is far from that thermometer. Although it can also be called a weighing instrument, it is not the first after all!" Zhou Wan'er also knows the goods, this clock was in the palace at the time of Emperor Wanli, and it was widely used. It's just that Wang Chengen's holding it is much smaller and lighter now. It's far from being the first, and it can't be compared with the scale that came out of nowhere like a thermometer.

"Hey..., Wan'er, you can't say this, don't look at it as a little smaller, you know, it is precisely because it is getting smaller and smaller that it is possible to become more and more popular, hehe, ordinary people can buy it. Affordable, it is convenient to carry, people can measure time more conveniently, and can live and work more accurately. Now it is a bell, if it is small enough to be as small as a palm in the future, it can be hung on the body or even worn on the hand. But it’s amazing! People can know the time anytime and anywhere, and they can measure time anytime, anywhere, this thing is not simple!” Yang Reform was half bragging and half telling the truth.

"Your Majesty is deceiving. Ordinary households, don't they rely on the sun to calculate the time? Do you still use this thing? This item doesn't cost a hundred taels of silver. I'm afraid you can't buy it. How can ordinary households afford it?" Zhou Wan'er compared and calculated.

"Hehe, Wan'er, that's not the way to say it. For example, if it's cloudy and there's no sun, isn't it difficult to tell the time? Also, at night, isn't it impossible to tell the time?" Yang Reform argued, thinking that he could use a clock to tell the time Oh, how do you know that Zhou Wan'er is very shrewd this week, so it's not easy to fool her!Yang Reform began to be afraid of Zhou Wan'er's arm-swinging skills.

"Hmph, Your Majesty is lying. Even if there is no sun during the day, you can roughly estimate what time it is. At night, isn't there a watchman on duty? How can you not know what time it is?" Zhou Wan'er's defense was also very powerful.

"Ah..., this..." Yang Reform was rendered speechless. It turns out that the common people in our country have enjoyed the clock service for 2000 years!
"It doesn't matter, Your Majesty, you have to find a weighing instrument for Wan'er that can rival a thermometer, and Wan'er also wants to become a hero among women... and leave her name in history as a woman, not as a queen." Zhou Wan'er Said coquettishly.

"Uh..., let me think about it..." Zhou Wan'er said this, and Yang Reform also felt emotional. It is difficult for this ancient woman, even if she is the empress, to leave a name. All of them are from a certain family. Many, and Sun Liniang invented weights and measures, weighing instruments, and can definitely be recorded in the annals of history. This is the same as Cai Lun who invented paper.

What Zhou Waner said made Yang Reform really think about it. He had to leave a legacy for his queen in history. He had the knowledge of future generations and countless golden fingers. It's convenient, it's a waste of heaven, I'm sorry.

"I think about it, think about it...uh..." Yang Reform said seriously.

"Your Majesty, what do you think of?" Zhou Wan'er was impatient. In order to win this breath, she worked hard and tortured the emperor every day. Now, she has finally worn the emperor thoroughly. No, the emperor began to concentrate on thinking for herself. There is a way.

"Yes..." Yang Reform suddenly thought of something.

"What's there? Your Majesty? Is it a good weighing instrument?" Zhou Wan'er asked with concern.

"Hehe, Wan'er, weighing apparatus, no, it's not a rare item, something! It's still this thing!" Yang Reform suddenly thought of something that he thought could be used to deal with his queen.

"What is it, Your Majesty? Could it be this thing?" Zhou Wan'er asked coquettishly.

"Hehe, Wan'er, although this thing is not very new, it is still a clock, but it is getting smaller and smaller in the future, and there will be great achievements in the future. Didn't Wan'er always talk about weights and measures and weighing instruments? I think, this weighing instrument, There are degrees, quantities, and measures, and if Wan'er connects the clock, which is the weighing instrument of time, with these measures, wouldn't it be unprecedented?" Yang Reformed.

Zhou Wan'er pondered the emperor's words for a while, but she didn't feel that there was anything unprecedented, and the things were still those things.

"Your Majesty is so ignorant, where is it unprecedented?" Zhou Wan'er looked in disbelief.

"Hehe, Wan'er, think about it, if you use a clock and a scale to measure time to connect those traditional weights and measures, wouldn't you create a world? For example, if you combine the scale of time with the degree of length, can you measure a How far can a person go in an hour, how far can a horse run? The distance traveled within a certain hour, isn’t this a new thing? A new scale?...speed!” Yang Reform explained proudly .

"...This...Your Majesty, it seems that there is nothing new. Your Majesty is fooling people again. Who doesn't know how far he can go in an hour? Who doesn't know how far a horse can run? The post station I am facing, One stop for thirty miles, ten stops a day, that is three hundred miles a day, Your Majesty, you don’t have to be so blind?” Zhou Wan’er muttered, blaming the emperor for fooling her.

"Hehe, Wan'er, I didn't lie to you, this is a vast world! You think, the distance traveled in a certain period of time is the speed, hehe, this is really a new weight and measure! It's no worse than temperature Now, Wan'er can see that someone used to use a clock to calculate how far others can go in an hour? How far can a horse run? How far can the wind blow? How far can water flow? How far can a boat travel? Gu Daimeng, now, Wan'er, with this bell in her arms, can she measure it? It can measure the water flow speed of ordinary rivers, and can measure the speed and volume of water flow when a flood comes. How big is the flood? Isn’t this helpful for disaster prevention? For example, when sailing, with the wind speed, can we measure the speed of the boat according to the wind speed? Lost your way? You can even measure the speed of the cannon’s shells. With the speed, can’t we improve the cannon according to the speed? There’s a lot to do here!” Yang Reform himself also made himself happy.

"Well, what Your Majesty said, Wan'er thinks it makes sense..." Zhou Wan'er was skeptical, although what the emperor said was quite reasonable, but floods, boats on the sea, cannons and so on are really far away from her. Point, to flicker in the past.

"That's right, Wan'er, I see! Just clarify the relationship between time and weights and measures. I think there must be great achievements in this, and there must be unexpected things. Hehe, don't worry." Underestimate these things, they are all needed for the national economy and the people's livelihood, haha, maybe, Wan'er will leave a famous name in history in the future? How about becoming a heroic heroine who will make a name in history by relying on her own efforts..." Yang Reform said with a smile.Yang Reform didn't mean to fool his queen into a great scientist in physics, but these things are about to be created, so it's better to let others create them by leaving them to be famous in history.Nothing else, at least, it’s enough to settle the jealous behavior among my many wives. There are so many formulas in physics and chemistry, which are enough to fool my wives. The emperor’s harem has always been many, yes Well, what I gave to the queen today is the relationship between time and weights and measures, and it is about speed. Tomorrow, if the concubine is jealous, you can introduce other things to her, such as density or something, um, the big explosion of technology, just from the harem. Let the battle begin...

Thinking of this, Yang Reform secretly smiled alone. Our harem's jealousy can benefit from it, and it can also promote technological progress. This is probably No. 1 in all ages.

"Then Wan'er sent people to do it, sent a lot of people, according to what your Majesty said, to measure all the speeds in the world... Wan'er can be a hero among women..." Zhou Wan'er argued with the emperor for this It's just a matter of competing for favor and jealousy. I have no intention of studying this thing at all, and I don't know how to do it myself. Of course, it doesn't matter if I don't do it myself. As a queen, I can command many people to do it. Especially, the emperor of Ming Dynasty, She has raised one hundred thousand eunuchs, although she can't command all of them, but most of them are enough to help her do a lot of things that she wants to do. This kind of thing that requires a lot of manpower to complete is a problem for ordinary scientists, but for The royal family is nothing to a queen who can command nearly 10 people.

"Well, okay, Wan'er will send someone to do it, I support it, let someone take this pocket clock to test various speeds, for example, the speed of wind, for example, the speed of water, for example, the speed of people, The speed of horses, the speed of cannonballs... let people study the relationship between speed and weight, and see if they can develop something new and something better than ordinary weighing instruments..."Yang Reform"No With good intentions" said, YY thinking about his wife, she will be the mother of power in the future, um, future powers will have to be named after her queen...

After Zhou Wan'er finished showing her arrogance, she became overjoyed when she got what she wanted from the emperor. This shows that in the eyes of the emperor, she has status.

"Your Majesty, you must be thirsty. Wan'er asked someone to cook mung bean soup. It's chilled. It's the best to quench your thirst. Your Majesty, let's drink a bowl first..." Zhou Wan'er "entertained" the emperor graciously.

"Okay, then I'll try Wan'er's iced mung bean soup..." Yang Reform lamented that the life of coaxing women was not easy. It was all done, and the golden fingers were consumed, only for a bowl of mung bean soup...

Yang Reform drank a bowl of chilled mung bean soup and felt much better.Said: "Wan'er, this Huaizhong business is yours. You find a reliable person to take charge of this business. To do Huaizhong's work, I will order the internal officials to dispatch a group of craftsmen to do it specially." , this business can be regarded as personal money for Wan'er. In the future, I will reward those wives, or need small things, so I will have enough money. Ha ha, if Wan'er manages well, I will be short of money that day, and I can still use it Wan'er's light." Yang Reform changed hands and gave the business to his queen.

"Your Majesty treats Wan'er very well..." Zhou Wan'er was extremely happy.

"Hehe, remember to pay the tax!" Yang Reform said jokingly again.

"This Wan'er knows that His Majesty's taxes will not be lost. If others don't support His Majesty, how can Wan'er not support His Majesty? Even if she doesn't make money, Wan'er still has to pay taxes, and she also has to pay [-]% of her turnover... ..." Zhou Wan'er said in a tone of refusal to admit defeat, the government and the public were aroused by the tax payment matter, and voluntary tax payment has become a symbol of the imperial party. As a queen, she must support her own emperor.

Yang reformed the great Jiong, and he was able to win even if he was jealous. This is probably the No. 1 emperor's house throughout the ages.

It was very late with Zhou Wan'er before Yang Reform came out of Kunning Palace.

Looking at the stars in the sky and the cool breeze blowing, Yang Reform's spirit is still quite good.

"Your Majesty, are you looking at the stars?" Wang Chengen followed the emperor all the time. The emperor did not rest, and he did not rest. In fact, he was more tired than the emperor.

"Well, the one I'm looking for is me." Yang Huaihe looked at the bright starry sky, and his spirit was exceptionally good.

"Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven. It must be Ziwei Xing. It is Ziwei Xing who descended to earth." Wang Chengen said seriously.

"Ziweixing? Is that Ziweixing?" Yang Reform asked.

"Your Majesty, Ziwei Xing! Look, Your Majesty, is there a funnel-like star over there, that is the Big Dipper, and the brightest star pointed by the handle of the Big Dipper is Ziwei Xing, your majesty." Wang Chengen Said very seriously.

"That? I know..." Isn't that the Polaris?Is it also Ziweixing?Yang Reform muttered.

"Yes! Your Majesty, that is His Majesty's unique star." Wang Chengen said quite seriously.

"Uh..., that's right!...By the way, buddy, let Master Sun come over tomorrow, I have something to discuss with Master Sun, it's very... right, don't rush Master Sun, let Master Sun come slowly , In addition, tomorrow, I will ask my father-in-law Tian Hongyu to come to the palace, I have something to do..." Yang Reform looked at the stars in the sky, and murmured to Wang Chengen.

That big event still needs to be finalized. The wind and rain are approaching, and I can't delay it any longer. I can't afford to delay it. I must solve it as soon as possible. If you can't successfully take over those big businesses, you will fall short of your success, and you will make all kinds of calculations to make others cheaper, and you can't afford to lose or fail.Now, in the court, there is no one else who can discuss this matter with him except Sun Chengzong.

Yang Reform looked at the sky full of stars and made up his mind.
