Looking at the row of pocket watches on the table, Gongliang Xiu was surprised, his eyes almost popped out, and he said:

"How did you do it!"

"You think you've made the bell tower smaller and shrunk here?"

"Is that a mistake or something else!"

Bailiyan laughed, and he said:

"The bell tower is so huge, how can it fit into this little pocket watch. Of course, it is to make another delicate mechanism and stuff it in. Now with this pocket watch, if you want to change the palace, you only need to agree on the time in advance, if you feel still not at ease, you can agree on other codes.

However, this thing is still a little too delicate, try not to bump, let alone fall, if it is broken, it can only be taken back for repair. So I'll give you ten pocket watches, one for each important person, or two for each person, just in case. There is a way to use it in every pocket watch box, and if you are still here these two days, I can teach you how to use it and recognize how to use it. ”

Yongxing pocket watch due to the use of traditional mechanical structure, coupled with the processing accuracy and assembly can not keep up, so the accuracy is still worse, far less than the precision of the tourbillon structure, a day can be one and a half minutes worse, but it is better than nothing.

The large scale is still 12 hours, the small scale is 10 minutes, there are three hands of seconds, minutes and hours, and the hour hand rotates once a day, which is more in line with the habits of people today.

Most of the accessories of each pocket watch have been mechanized, and a small number of accessories need to be manufactured by hand, which is also the main reason for poor accuracy, in addition to the assembly process affecting the accuracy.

After all, a good assembler needs more than ten years or even decades of experience in the industry to become a master of watch repair and assembly.

Due to the long manufacturing and assembly cycle, the small number of manufacturing, and the initial focus on exploring the process and training apprentices, each pocket watch is worth a lot of money, and the cost of construction and assembly is equivalent to 125 Singapore dollars, so it is not sold to the outside world for the time being, and is given priority to use within the army and important people in the short term.

In the future, the industry will expand, the level of mechanization will increase, and there will be room for further price decline, but ordinary people will have to wait for thirty or forty years to use the table.

The tourbillon structure is somewhat complex, and too precise, the processing technology, precision, assembly requirements are too high, Bailiyan has never been in contact with the tourbillon structure, only know its principle, is still in the preliminary exploration stage, what can have a result, or unknown.

Gongliang Xiu nervously carefully put away the ten pocket watches, restrained the look of surprise on his face, calmed down a little, and said:

"Living in your mansion these days, there is something I have been thinking about for a long time, and I don't know what you Yongxing Marquis wants."

Bai Li Yan's heart became vigilant, and he asked carefully:

"I've been living in my house for a long time, and I won't just get cheap, and you want to calculate me."

"Hehe, sort of. I see that your second daughter thyme is nineteen years old and has not yet left the cabinet, so you might as well be in-laws. ”

"What!" Bai Liyan's face changed greatly, and she replied sharply: "Dream your dreams, don't even think about it." Unless you let your son join my family, don't talk about it. ”

"That's what you said!"

Gongliang Xiu took a bite to fix, Bailiyan was taken aback, almost bit his tongue, and his forehead and eyebrows jumped violently. He proposed to join the family, which was a bottom-line condition, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that it was simply a refusal, and no person with integrity would accept it.

"You're crazy, you can also do the thing of letting your son get rich!"

"In case the palace fails, my father-in-law's family can't cut off their children and grandchildren, and they have to leave a seed to avenge my people. Taking a step back, it is beneficial for me to marry you, who would have thought that when you and I got married, it would be an opportunity to start. Moreover, although thyme is a descendant, it is in the same vein as Guangxin, who dares to marry. ”

"Hmph, you're very calculating, so you're not afraid of being charged with a foreign secret trick."

"Hehe......" Gongliang Xiu laughed inexplicably, and then said: "It's done, the Gongliang family will be dominant from now on, and who dares to say that my family has foreign countries." ”

Gongliang Xiu stayed in the Yongxing Hou Mansion all day, watching ten large and small golden flowers go in and out every day, and one day suddenly came up with a plan to kill three birds with one stone, and put the youngest son into the Baili family, which can keep the bloodline, and can also pull up the big tiger skin of Baili Yan, and at the same time use the name of the big wedding to get a golden cicada shell back to the horse gun, this plan is in mind, even Gongliang Xiu himself feels that he is dreaming.

As for Baili Yan's feelings, it is very complicated, Baili Caiyun Xu gave it to Xue Shu, and there is no play.

The eldest daughter Bai Lifang has been even more terrible in the past two years, and she openly opened a "Cherish Fragrance Pavilion" in Chenling. Yes, it was the signboard that Jiang Rong Guangxin had a tryst with Xiao Chunyu in the city, and it was used as a brand, and he opened a "women's leisure and entertainment center" in the city, specializing in making friends with like-minded women.

The four girls Baili Xuan are in their prime, and their appearance and talent are unique in the world, but they are psychologically fragile and sentimental, and if there is a slight disobedience, two lines of tears immediately fall, and Baili Yan is worried about it.

The second daughter thyme, shrewd and capable, an abacus known as "magical jade hand", tens of millions of dollars for you to clarify clearly, a child does not think much. is such a shrewd and capable second lady, there are many sons of families in the city, but there is no one who dares to marry, just because she is the granddaughter of Jiang Min, the prince of Guangxin.

Seeing that a few golden flowers in the family couldn't get married all day long, Bailiyan couldn't help but start worrying. But on the issue of public and good cultivation, Bai Liyan did not respond face-to-face.

Even if a "transnational marriage" is upside down, you have to think twice before acting, let alone a transnational political marriage.

The Gongliang family does not have a few fuel-efficient lamps, and the new generation of Gongliang is rumored to be more powerful than this generation, due to the flood of Xianguo's new policy ideas, the Gongliang family has absorbed a lot of information, so the younger generation of Gongliang is outstanding.

In addition to the serious deviation of Gongliangsong, Gongliangxiu, Gongliangwen, Gongliangyi, and Gongliangchen are all difficult to deal with, and Gongliangxiu is even more difficult to deal with. Now that he has sent a son to the door for no reason, he can have such a good thing, who knows if he is a spy or not.

That night, Li Yi, who returned to the Liang State Embassy's Mansion, was asked by Ji Kang to "interrogate" the results, and after asking for a long time, Li Yi confessed that he was not nutritious, and Ji Kang couldn't help but be a little annoyed.

"See, this is a good uncle, he doesn't have half a word of truth, and you still believe him."

"I can't say that, my uncle said before, Xianguo will not send troops, we can't think about it, let my uncle change his words according to his words. If the time comes, it will not become a child's play. ”

Li Yi is actually quite innocent, Ji Kang asked him to test his tone, but Li Yi was born not to lie, and the language logic was not strategic, so he was cleaned up by Bailiyan.

Ji Kang also knew this, so he knew that Li Yi would definitely be cleaned up by Bailiyan, but he thought of Bailiyan simply, he didn't know that Bailiyan could judge his state of mind through Li Yi's "truth" between the lines.

Ji Kangqi's face turned dark, and his face was a little unbearable, and he said sternly:

"I'm going to the palace tomorrow to meet King Xian to understand King Xian's attitude. Since Bailiyan is not sincere, you should not be calculated by him again. In the past few days, I have been walking around the city and listening to the reality of the pavilions of various countries. I don't believe that Xianguo can sit idly by and watch the defense of the country dominate the Central Plains and remain indifferent. ”

"Having said that, the defense of the country is so ferocious, even if the Xianguo army can win, it will have to pay a heavy price. What's more, the Xianmin is weak and weak, and he is not an opponent of the country, even if the king of Xian is interested, he may not dare to fight with the country. If you are not careful, the foundation of Xianguo for more than 20 years will be ruined. ”

"Humph!" Ji Kang snorted lightly and said disdainfully: "You are from a military background, the Xianguo infantry army is well-armed, the steel blade is invincible in the world, each of its new Wanshi warships has more than 50 sky-shaking fires, and more than 10 ships are more than 500 doors.

It can be seen from this that there are not a few Xianguobu military earth-shaking fires, even if there are more than 1,000 artillery pieces, Xianguo's combat power is definitely stronger than it seems on the surface. ”

Thanks to the peace time of more than two years, for industrial expansion and industrial adjustment, and to win a strategic buffer, Xianguo's industry has been able to develop rapidly, and some of the things that could be hidden before cannot be hidden now.

Taking warships as an example, in the past, seven or eight warships took turns to go to sea, and there were not many of them, but now there are 20 or 30 warships, coming in and out, and no matter how much they cover up, they cannot hide the fact that the number of ships has increased, and some information has also become known to the world.

At present, there is only one Xianguo that can have ten thousand stone warships, and there is only one that can have twenty or thirty gunboats. Looking at the other princes, it is remarkable to be able to piece together three or five ships with 5,000 bronze cannons, each equipped with twenty or thirty bronze cannons can basically go sideways, but compared with the guns of the Xian army, it is a small thing, and it is not at the same level at all.

From the perspective of traditional land power thinking, it is obviously impossible for the navy under the Continental Army system to be stronger than the army, otherwise it is an outlier. Differentiation is often deeply repelled by the majority, and based on this, Ji Kang concluded that the Xianjun infantry was now a monster of war.

That night, in the dead of night, when the moon was in the middle of the sky, there was a hurried knock on the door outside Tang Tao's bedroom, and a maid called loudly outside the door:

"Master Hou, Master Hou, someone from the palace is here!"

Bailiyan and Tang Tao both woke up, and Tang Tao was still staring at Bailiyan in a daze and shaking it coquettishly:

"Don't pay attention to them, when is it, and you will enter the palace."

"The affairs in the palace can't be delayed, you can sleep first."

"Don't, don't......"

Tang Tao twisted, but was picked up by Bai Liyan with one hand. Busy with the lamp and dressing neatly, leaving the dormitory, and asking the maid:

"What about the people in the palace?"

"Back to Master Hou, the person who came is waiting in the atrium."

At this time, Jiao Muhua was already waiting in the atrium, and when he saw Bailiyan coming over with the light, he hurriedly stepped forward:

"Disturbed in the middle of the night, I hope Yongxing Hou will forgive me."

"Hurry up, what's going on in the palace?"

"It's not in the palace, it's the Marquis of Dingyang, I'm afraid the Marquis of Dingyang will not work."

"Hiss......" Baili Yanmeng was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized that a major problem had been ignored by him, Tai Wei. As soon as the Marquis of Ding Yang died, someone had to sit in the position of Tai Lieutenant.

According to the convention, if the family title and relationship are hard enough, the official position is hereditary, so the death of Zhang Jun, the Marquis of Dingyang, should be inherited by his eldest son Zhang You, but now the Marquis of Dingyang has lost power for many years, and the henchmen have long been cut off, and it has no political value.
