If we don't say that the wisdom of the people is infinite, in just a few days since the bell tower was built, the academies have not taught the people how to tell the time on the clock, so the people have found out through various means.
One hour and two hours, one hour and sixty minutes, one minute and sixty seconds
The biggest hobby of the people around the academy every day is to look up at the bell tower to see what time it is and how long it will be until the bell rings.
As for the original watch of the Bell and Drum Tower, no one cares about it anymore.
There is no way that the Bell and Drum Tower can only display the time on the hour, but the Bell Tower can be accurate to every minute.
Just when people were hotly discussing watches, a shop selling watches opened grandly on Chang'an Right Street.
Common people have seen the clocks hanging upstairs, but they have never seen the clocks sold in the shop. Suddenly, countless people heard the sound and swarmed in, and the four wide facades of the shop were blocked.
Everyone wants to see what this clock looks like.
"Is this clock of yours the same as the one upstairs in the academy?" someone asked impatiently.
"Of course." The guy replied with a smile.
"let me see."
"Your Majesty, please come this way." The waiter enthusiastically led the visitor in.
Inside the shop are rows of glass cabinets. The transparent cabinets allow people to directly see the clocks placed inside, as if they are within reach.
"Three hundred guans! So expensive?" The visitor no longer had the heroic look on his face, he shrank his neck without any trace, and lowered his voice subconsciously.
The waiter was still smiling and did not look down on the visitor because he thought it was expensive. He explained, "The cheapest watch we have here costs one hundred guan, and the most expensive one is more than 5,000 guan. The one you are interested in, sir, is no longer included."
Expensive."
"Haha, is that right?" The visitor laughed dryly and did not dare to look any further. He quickly walked away and said, "I'm taking a look, I'm taking a look."
Soon, the high price of the clock spread out. People who heard the news shook their heads. It was too expensive and could not be afforded by ordinary people.
As a result, many people backed down on the spot. They couldn't squeeze in anyway, so they simply turned around and left.
Fu Yong was chatting with a few wealthy businessmen today to get in touch with each other. Suddenly he heard that there was a shop selling watches. He couldn't help but become curious and said to a few people, "I have nothing to do. How about we go and have a look?"
"If Mr. Fu is interested, then of course we will sacrifice our lives to accompany the gentleman, don't you think so?" Someone immediately agreed with a smile.
Others also laughed and nodded, saying that they were willing to accompany Fu Yong to have a look.
Fu Yong glanced at these people helplessly and scolded with a smile, "You originally planned this, but you insist on saying that you are accompanying me. You want to take this opportunity to make me owe you a favor. There is no way!"
While a few people were bickering, they came outside the shop.
At this time, although the outside of the shop was still surrounded by a large number of people, the entrance was empty with not many people at all.
Clocks are too expensive and cannot be afforded by ordinary people. Although the shop assistants will not let people go in and look at them just because they don’t want to buy them, people know that if they go in without buying them, they are disturbing other people’s business. Some people
not good.
So, people stayed outside to watch.
Fu Yong and others easily squeezed to the front and walked towards the shop.
When people nearby saw their unusual clothes, they immediately asked out of curiosity, "Who are these people?"
"You don't even know the richest man in the capital?"
"Fu Yong, the richest man in the capital? Who is he?" The person who asked the question was suddenly surprised and looked at Fu Yong and others with wide eyes, trying to remember everyone's appearance.
"Of course he's the one at the front."
"That's Fu Yong! He doesn't look like anything special." The person who asked the question saw a thin old man who was not rich at all. This was consistent with his impression that rich people are all fat, and the richer they are, the fatter they are.
completely inconsistent with the rules.
"Is it special to be extremely rich?" someone else said to him jokingly.
The smile on the face of the person who asked the question suddenly froze, and it took him several seconds to hold back the word, "Forget it."
"We've seen a good show, do you think Fu Yong will buy a clock?" Once the conversation started, people's hearts for gossip began to burn, and they began to make random guesses.
"As long as he wants to buy it, what kind of watch can he not afford?" Some people looked at Fu Yong with envy, thinking how great it would be if they were as rich as him?
Buy two biscuits at a time, eat one and throw one away!
"That's true. Now let's see if Fu Yong will buy it."
When Fu Yong walked to the door of the shop, the waiter welcomed him in with a smile as if he were taking care of the common people. He did not take special care of him because he was particularly rich.
Fu Yong's eyes suddenly lit up when he saw the entire row of glass cabinets and the clocks inside. Having been doing business for a long time, he immediately realized the benefits of using this kind of container.
This is not only more intuitive, but also allows buyers to see the goods carefully at close range. Buying and selling this thing is buying and selling a favorite.
It's hard to buy love with money.
The more customers like something, the easier it is to sell it and the easier it is to sell it at a higher price.
Apart from anything else, the moment Fu Yong saw the cabinets, he wanted to buy them back and put them in his shop.
"Is this a clock?" Fu Yong curiously approached the glass cabinet, and he could see all the details on the clock clearly.
"Yes, it is the same as the clock on the bell tower of the academy." The clerk introduced carefully, "It's just that our clock is smaller than the one on the bell tower, and is more suitable for displaying in the house or carrying it with you."
Like the ones in the academy, Fu Yong immediately thought of Han Du, and asked with a meaningful look in his eyes, "Is this clock a new product from the mechanical workshop?"
The clerk smiled when he heard this. He guessed that Fu Yong was very likely to buy it, so he didn't hide it from him. He nodded slightly and said, "Yes, it seems that the guest knows a lot about the mechanical workshop."
"Is it Master Sun Xian's work?" Fu Yong asked urgently.
The clerk nodded calmly and said with a smile, "Master Sun Xian indeed invented clocks, but these clocks were not made by Master Sun Xian himself. We also have clocks made by Master Sun Xian, which are more exquisite. Do you want to see them?"
"Oh? There are also clocks made by Master Sun Xian himself?" Fu Yong was a little surprised. He knew Sun Xian's status in the mechanical workshop. He couldn't think of what kind of clocks needed Sun Xian to make it himself. He nodded quickly and said, "Quickly.
show me."
"Your Majesty, please come this way." The clerk led Fu Yong and others inside with a smile on his face. Otherwise, the wisdom of the people is infinite. In just a few days since the bell tower was built, the academy has not taught the people how to recognize it.
