Chapter 663 A watch from the Great Song Dynasty?

"It has not been a year or two since Xianggong Cai opposed the New Deal. Since His Majesty wants to implement the New Deal on a large scale, why do you still re-appoint Xianggong Cai?"

Gao Qiu mustered up the courage to express his doubts.

This is a very serious question.

Political correctness in recent years has been restructuring.

Cai Mao was impeached by countless people.

Some people really have no talent, but they like to dwell on other people's problems in order to show how smart they are by blaming others.

And these problems are just very small problems.

Cai Mao has many small problems.

Many people often make a fuss out of these minor issues, elevating them to the level of character or even sabotaging the New Deal.

But Zhao Ning turned a blind eye to all of this.

A qualified leader must not only have a clear understanding of the underlying operations of the world, but also have a clear understanding of various types of people.

Every group has its role.

Although a group of clowns blame each other all day long to show how smart they are, it seems to be useless.

But at least they can form a deterrent to the rulers and make them restrain themselves in the use of power.

Naturally, Zhao Ning would not trouble Cai Mao because of some minor problems.

As for Cai Mao's governing philosophy, Zhao Ning actually agrees with it.

Zhao Ning looked at Gao Qiu and said with a smile: "You are still a studious and inquiring person."

Gao Qiu smiled awkwardly and said, "I am stupid, but I really can't help but want to know."

"There has never been a one-size-fits-all solution in this world, nor is there a sure way to solve the problem immediately. How can you be sure that the new policy being introduced now will be effective?"

"It's really impossible to say for sure."

"Xiangong Cai simply believed that the imperial court's restructuring measures were too drastic, so he opposed it. Is this wrong?" Zhao Ning looked at Gao Qiu.

Gao Qiu was stunned for a moment, he really didn't dare to answer this question.

"He is right." Zhao Ning said, "The methods of the imperial court's restructuring were indeed too drastic, and even implicated many innocent people."

"That……"

"Have you read Dialectics?"

"Read... read some."

“I didn’t read it well!”

"I am guilty!"

"Things are constantly changing. The effectiveness of the radical New Deal in the early stage does not mean that it will be effective in the future. Maybe one day, Cai Mao's moderate governing philosophy will be applicable to the country."

Zhao Ning's tone was very calm, and it could be seen that he knew every step, every person, and every force in his heart.

Contradiction never ceases to exist just because you eliminate it.

Just like if you kill Qin Hui, it will not make the problem less, it may even become more.

Contradictions are eternal. When one day, killing Qin Hui can reduce conflicts, that will be the day of Qin Hui's death.

Zhao Ning continued: "If the country is all radical reformists, when one day the development of people's livelihood requires the country to need moderate rulers, how can it achieve an orderly transformation?"

This is the flexibility of the system.

Gao Qiu finally understood.

"Your Majesty has far-sighted plans, which I cannot guess, but I have learned from them."

These words were really not flattering by Captain Gao, but a sentiment from the bottom of his heart.

"So, when you go to do errands for me sometimes, don't be led astray by the rumors outside. Those rumors may only be temporary."

"I understand!"

"Go down."

"I excuse myself."

After Gao Qiu went out, he was still sighing at the wisdom of Zhao Guan's family.

So, does King Qi really have hope?

Who can say for sure what will happen in the future?

"Lieutenant Gao."

Gao Qiu, who was deep in thought, looked up and saw Chen Gui.

"Shilang Chen, are you coming to see Your Majesty so early?"

"I made some things recently, which the Zhao Guan family has been asking about before."

"Oh, what?"

"This." Chen Gui opened his hand. In his hand was a metal disc, half the size of a palm.

"This is?"

"This thing is called a watch, and it keeps time."

"Biao?" Gao Qiu became confused, "Why haven't I heard of it before?"

"It was named after Zhao Guan's family."

"Can this really keep time?"

"Yes, there are twelve hours, and each hour is divided into two hours. There are a total of twenty-four hours in a day."

Gao Qiu immediately became interested: "Hey, this is a good thing. With this thing, I can know what time it is at any time."

"Captain Gao, I will go see your Majesty first."

"Go, go quickly."

"Farewell."

"By the way, can you give me one of these?"

"After this thing can operate normally, I will send one to Lieutenant Gao."

"Okay, thank you, Mr. Chen!"

In the Hall of Wende, Chen Gui stood there, Zhao Ning held the "watch" in his hand, and his face showed joy.

He wanted to take a closer look at the escapement inside, but obviously he couldn't get the full picture.

"Your Majesty, do you want to know the structure inside it?"

"No need." Zhao Ning said with a smile, "I don't really understand. Is there any error in this thing?"

"It will be a little bit, but it's very small."

"The lengths of the minute and second hands here can be more obvious to facilitate distinction."

"Yes, I will ask someone to make adjustments."

"It's a little heavy, can it be made smaller?"

"It takes time to change."

"Is the energy produced?"

"Can."

"Then let's make a part of it according to this first, and give it to the officers in the army first. As for how to change it, you can try it slowly, don't be in a hurry."

"Yes!" Chen Gui was relieved to see that Zhao Guan's family was very satisfied.

In fact, this watch is too rough for Zhao Ning.

But he didn't stick to the rules.

Because everything is very rough at first, this is normal.

This step from zero to one is the most difficult, and if you can do it, it is already amazing.

As long as there is one, the following two and three are just iterations.

"By the way, Your Majesty, I have been thinking about the issue of coconuts falling to the ground during this time."

"Oh, how are you thinking?"

"I discovered that the traces left on the ground when a coconut falls to the ground are completely different from the traces left on the ground by a date."

Zhao Ning said in his heart: Chen Gui does have the potential for scientific research. Others take these things for granted, but he can observe things that others would not notice from what they take for granted.

"Why is this?" Zhao Ning asked knowingly.

"Is the force that makes the coconut fall stronger than the force that makes the date fall?" Chen Gui said, "It's like a warrior hitting the sand hard and hitting the sand lightly, the traces are different."

Zhao Ning said in surprise: "So, this invisible force is related to the weight of the object?"

"Your majesty is wise, I think so too."

"Then how to calculate this force?" Zhao Ning asked.

"It is known that it is related to weight, but there are still some key factors missing. These key factors are part of the Tao. I cannot see it, but after countless practical tests, I have indeed found that there are rules."
