Iron Dynasty

what is this?

In the Qingzhou Chamber of Commerce, a group of businessmen looked at the pendulum clock standing in the middle of the hall with bewildered expressions.

After Wangfuzhong and Fei Yue’er shared the appreciation of the pendulum clock, Xiao Ming asked for the pendulum clock to be delivered to the Chamber of Commerce. The pendulum clock immediately attracted the attention of the merchants.

Li Kaiyuan stood in front of the pendulum clock. This was just sent from the palace. He didn't know how to use the pendulum clock. He finally saw the real thing.

However, in order to make him understand the function of the pendulum clock, Xiao Ming specially asked the watchman from the palace to come over. After some explanations, he understood how to use the pendulum clock to tell the time.

It's really ingenious. Li Kaiyuan praised sincerely.

Many businessmen who came to the Chamber of Commerce to apply for business certificates gathered around Li Kaiyuan. They also learned about the use of the pendulum clock and understood that the pendulum clock was another commodity in Qingzhou.

And from the complex style of this pendulum clock, the price of this pendulum clock is bound to be very expensive, and the more expensive it is, the more terrifying the profit.

No, if this pendulum clock is launched, it will definitely shock the world. Vice President Li, did His Highness say how to sell this pendulum clock, and how much money is it?

A businessman from Chang'an put his entire body on the pendulum clock. The function of this pendulum clock is not only magical, but also very beautiful in appearance. Not to mention the exquisite wood carving outside, even this whole piece of glass is expensive. .

Li Kaiyuan's mouth went to the back of his ear. He had to admit that the pendulum clock was the most amazing Qingzhou industrial product he had ever seen in the past three years. I wonder if there is anything in this country that can accurately record the time to the second.

Far away, far away.

Li Kaiyuan drove the Chang'an merchants away like flies.

Recently, there have been more and more new faces in this chamber of commerce. For the chamber of commerce, this is a sign that the business is thriving. At the same time, there are many businessmen, and the chamber of commerce is also difficult to manage.

Businessmen with uneven character often feel that they have done some troublesome things in the chamber of commerce, and even some businessmen from other places are simply robbers blocking the road.

When they learned that Qingzhou's commodities were extremely profitable, they were inevitably tempted to come to purchase them, but the nature of these robbers was hard to change. Some people even robbed other merchants of the purchased goods in the chamber of commerce, wanting to do some business without capital.

This month, the soldiers guarding the Chamber of Commerce killed a few daring people.

So for the sake of prudence, he didn't want any accident with this pendulum clock, after all, this pendulum clock was the only pendulum clock in Qingzhou.

Originally, King Qi wanted to keep it for himself, but he still sent it to the Chamber of Commerce for publicity.

The nearby merchants were driven away, and Li Kaiyuan said at this time: To tell you the truth, this thing is called a pendulum clock. It is a product carefully manufactured by the equipment department, and its function is very simple. It is to record the time of the day.

The Qingzhou Chamber of Commerce was divided into two parts when it was constructed. One part belongs to the official area, which is similar to the front desk of a bank, and the other part is the commodity display stand, commonly known as the exhibition stand.

At first, Li Kaiyuan felt awkward about these unfamiliar words, but after a long time, he got used to it. Now, if he changed the words, he felt it was inappropriate.

The function of this booth, as the name suggests, is to display the commodities currently sold in the chamber of commerce, such as soap, fine wine, perfume, glass products, mirrors, salt, etc. As long as they can be found on the booth, the chamber of commerce can sell them.

The businessmen stared at the pendulum clock with wide eyes. Some businessmen have learned from the watchman how to tell the time through the pendulum clock, while some businessmen who don't know much about the pendulum clock are eager to ask other businessmen.

After hearing the view of the pendulum from other people, they looked up and looked in the direction of the pendulum clock, from which they easily learned the time.

A quarter past three. A businessman exclaimed excitedly, Oh, this pendulum clock is really amazing. Wouldn't it be enviable to buy one and put it at home.

Yes, this pendulum clock can not only tell the time, but also looks very beautiful, it is very suitable to be placed at home, but unfortunately, I just don't know what the price is? said a businessman.

It looks very expensive. I estimate that a pendulum clock will cost at least 50,000 taels.

It's so expensive? How many people can afford it? Someone exclaimed.

Hey, with the ingenious workmanship of this pendulum, someone will buy 50,000 taels. Even if a thousand people buy it in the entire Great Yu Kingdom, this is 50,000,000 taels of silver.

As soon as these words came out, the merchants took a deep breath. At this moment, they looked at the pendulum clock with a frenzy in their eyes. If they could make the pendulum clock, wouldn't it mean they would get rich overnight.

Hey, in my opinion, all the wealth in this world will fall into the hands of King Qi. The merchants finally let out a sigh that was either jealous or sad.

Li Kaiyuan was beaming, and the businessmen's comments did not escape his ears. He quietly admired the pendulum clock in front of him. For him, he believed that there would only be more and more commodities in the future.

These businessmen have never seen a steam engine, and if they see it with their own eyes, they don't know how shocked they will be.

In his opinion, now that they can make a steel monster like a steam engine, what else is there that they can't make?

With a smug smile in his heart, he looked at the group of businessmen and said, Everyone, Your Highness said, there is only one pendulum clock now, but there will be a second one soon, and now this pendulum clock is just to show you all. The pendulum clock looks like, after you go back, you can consider whether you want to buy a pendulum clock for sale, as for the price, His Royal Highness has not yet decided, but the magic of this pendulum clock will definitely not be cheap, if you want, please prepare it.

The merchants nodded when they heard the words, and some rich merchants made plans.

This pendulum was made for the powerful and powerful. There are many wealthy families outside of the Qi King Fengguo. There will always be a few wealthy families who like to show off. This pendulum is just right for them.

Thinking of this, some businessmen turned and left. They wanted to give the news of the pendulum clock to their vassals, and some businessmen directly discussed cooperation.

When everyone was shaking because of the pendulum, the servants from the palace came to the door of the chamber of commerce. These servants carried a basket of white sugar to the middle of the booth and said to Li Kaiyuan: Vice President Li, Your Highness said, let Tell me about the white sugar too.

Because the euphoria of the pendulum has not yet passed, the appearance of the white sugar once again lifted the hearts of the merchants. They felt a little overwhelmed. What happened to Qingzhou these two days, one product after another appeared.

Li Kaiyuan knew about white granulated sugar. After all, he knew about the new product immediately, so he said, Everyone, this white granulated sugar is really a good thing!
