Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 235

[Chapter 235 Precision]

“Your Highness, please show me.” Yang He looked expectant.

“Go to Jinling and hold an exhibition with Dong An.”

Zhao Xu said to Yang He.

“Exhibition?” Yang He frowned.

Zhao Xu nodded, “It’s just to find a place with a lot of people to display the goods of the palace.”

He still attaches great importance to this exhibition.

After all, after a battle with the powerful clan, he basically won the entire market of Dasong.

From now on, his goods will travel freely in Dasong.

So if this exhibition is done well, it will bring huge orders to the palace.

Yanzhou’s financial problems will be greatly alleviated.

“So that’s it, I understand.” Yang He said with a smile: “Speaking of which, I miss Dong An a little bit, hehe.”

Zhao Xu said: “Except that he is not in Yanzhou, he is living like a fish in water in Jinling.”

In order to get the news of Jinling in time, he asked Xu Ke to stuff a few members of the Yanwei in it.

It won’t be long before Yanwei’s hot pot restaurant will open in Jinling.

At that time, news exchanges between Yanzhou and Jinling will become more frequent.

He can also keep abreast of the dynamics of the capital.

Because of this, he still knows exactly what Dong An is doing in Yanzhou Commercial Bank.

“That’s right, Jinling is so prosperous, this kid won’t let himself suffer.” Yang He glanced at his mouth.

Nodding his head, he said to Yang He: “You will set off in these two days, by the way, specially prepare some to send to the palace, and send them before the exhibition starts.”

He was creating an illusion for Zhao Heng.

That is, the relationship between his prince and his emperor remains the same and has not been affected in any way.

Since everyone is using each other, it is still necessary to do superficial work.

After all, he still can’t leave Dasong, and needs Dasong’s market to provide him with a steady stream of money to develop the land.

And when his fleet sets sail and occupies a certain overseas market, he will show his sharp claws.

Make it clear to Zhao Heng that he cannot be manipulated arbitrarily.

After a few more instructions, Zhao Xu asked Yang He to leave.

Yang He turned to leave, but Zhao Xu suddenly stopped him.

“Wait a minute, besides this bottle of fine wine, I plan to give you another item of merchandise to take to Jinling.” Zhao Xu said.

His fiefdom expanded to four counties, and the construction of these four counties naturally required a lot of silver.

Taking advantage of this exhibition, the more products that are naturally launched, the better.

And the thing he wants to give Yang He is not complicated, but it can definitely make money.

“New merchandise!” Yang He’s eyes straightened when he heard this.

Zhao Xu didn’t say much, “You just go back and wait. I’ll leave it to you in the next two days.”

“Yes, Your Highness.” Yang He was very happy, and hurried away.

Watching Yang He leave, Zhao Xu rested for a while.

In the afternoon, he went to the Military Division.

One is to manufacture new commercial products, and the other is to explain to Wang Ying last time.

When he arrived at the Bingzhang Division, he directly mentioned the matter of mercury.

Wang Ying smiled triumphantly when he heard this, “Your Highness, the first original ruler was made by the craftsmen ordered by the officials?”

“Done?” Zhao Xu was surprised when he heard the words.

Wang Ying nodded, “Seeing that His Highness has been busy giving lectures in the school these days, I dared to try it myself. Just as His Highness said, after several attempts, the height of the mercury column is almost the same.”

While talking, Wang Ying led Zhao Xu to a room.

In the middle of the room, there is a rough thin glass tube inside.

Most of the volume in the glass tube is occupied by mercury.

This is exactly a rough column of mercury.

Then Wang Ying spoke to an official.

The official left, and after a while came over with a straight bamboo ruler.

There are a series of horizontal marks on the bamboo ruler. The millimeters are shorter and the centimeters are longer. Basically, it is not much different from contemporary rulers.

“It’s ok, this king underestimated you.” Zhao Xu was very pleased.

The ancient craftsmen were actually very smart.

Otherwise they would not have created riveting, porcelain, these stunning craftsmanship.

In contemporary times, they just lived under a failed system, which is why they declined in modern times because they did not climb the technology tree.

In fact, just show them the way.

They will create amazing achievements.

The same is true in Dasong.

Wang Ying and the craftsmen of Bingzhangsi just lacked guidance.

Give them a blueprint, and they can make it happen.

This original ruler is a proof, in the future, he should trust their abilities even more.

“Your Highness has won prizes, but actually failed many times.” Wang Ying said with a smile.

After all, it is a difficult project to divide this ruler into 760 equal parts.

He recruited ten craftsmen to specialize in carving, and they almost went crazy in seven days.

In the end, there was only one with a uniform scale, which met his requirements.

“Well, failure is the mother of success. From now on, you have to engrave this sentence on the wall of the Military Division, so that everyone in the Military Division can remember it.” Zhao Xu said.

Failure is to sum up the experience of success. If there are many failures, success will not be far away.

“Your Highness’s words are deeply attached to an official’s heart.” Hearing the words, Wang Ying suddenly felt that his heart had gone.

This is what he has always taught Wang Chong.

Zhao Xu nodded with a smile. What he admired was Wang Ying’s quality, wearable.

The original ruler was made, and it was time for him to make the vernier caliper.

With this thing, the next step is to let the craftsman polish the drill bit.

After all, the drill still has certain requirements for precision.

So he asked Wang Ying to fetch a pen and paper, and drew the vernier caliper on the paper.

It is not difficult to make a vernier caliper, the difficulty lies in the scale.

But now that the original scale is out, the difficulty is gone.

Just take the original ruler and compare it with engraving on the steel bar.

Wang Ying looked at the graphics on the drawing and nodded slightly.

In his opinion, the vernier caliper is shaped like multiple horizontal knives at one end of the ruler, and then a buckle is forged to fit on the ruler.

Although it is more complicated, craftsmen can polish it.

“Based on this, the vernier caliper is made, and the production of the flintlock is on the agenda.” Zhao Xu said.

Although he wants to have everything at once.

But in this poor and empty place, he can only build fine handicrafts step by step.

Then develop more complex machinery on this basis.

After talking about this matter, Zhao Xu said again: “This time, I have one more thing that I want to do with you.”

“Do it together?” Wang Ying was curious.

Yan Wang seldom develops things with them now, and mostly let them explore by themselves, and only provide guidance.

Zhao Xu nodded, “Go to the glass workshop and get some glass first, this thing is related to glass.”

Wang Ying nodded, and immediately ordered the officials to fetch it.

Taking advantage of this time, Zhao Xu told Wang Ying what he was going to do and why.

The more Wang Ying heard it, the more surprised he became, “How can this happen?”
