Xun Ya is wearing a pink silk dress today, with a graceful figure, with an innate elegance. She is wearing a gauze on her head, making people unable to see her face clearly, and only a pair of bright crystal-like eyes were exposed.

She was not in the workshop's workshop's workshop's accounting room, but in the workshop's accounting room. She was leaning forward and checking the accounts attentively.

From a distance, she looked graceful and elegant at this moment, and she looked like she was the heroine of the family.

Aside, four beautiful-looking and personal maids were surrounding her. These maids had all studied and had become her helpers.

When the man came in, a maid was shocked. She was about to ask, but after seeing Chen Kaizhi's handsome face, she hurriedly bowed.

Chen Kaizhi just waved his hands silently at them, his bright eyes staring at Xun Ya, and said with a smile, "Ya'er actually arrived before me."

Xun Yafeng closed the account with her congee, and she looked like a hostess, and smiled at Chen Kaizhi.

"Well, in the past two days, the clocks have finally started to be sold. Now only 300 units have been produced. Let the salt merchants sell them first, but I can't let go of the goods in the hands of the salt merchants in Luoyang. "

Chen Kaizhi was also very concerned about this.

Watches are not as good as textiles. Now every clock covers a considerable area. Although it has been improved many times, the clock has a large bench with countless gears and mechanisms inside. It is carefully crafted, so the price is also quite expensive. The price of a clock is currently priced at 150 taels of silver, which is completely in the category of luxury goods.

But the promotion of watches is actually the most important thing for Chen Kaizhi.

If the textile industry has the advantage of scale and manpower absorption, and the watch industry involves too many mechanical components, to some extent, it is the starting point of Chen Kaizhi's heavy industry. As long as these watches can be popular and get a large number of orders, Chen Kaizhi can recruit more skilled craftsmen, which can not only make money from it, but most importantly, while making money, it can also cultivate talents.

Think about it, if a person is proficient in the structure of clocks, it means that he is already proficient in a lot of physics knowledge and has a certain understanding of the principles and structure of machinery.

But if you can make money by making watches and make a lot of money, then every watchmaker is a talent, and Chen Kaizhi can pay a considerable salary.

This watchmaker naturally became a hot commodity in everyone's eyes.

So, how many people will be determined to become a watchmaker?

If you can get one tael of silver a year and become a textile craftsman, you can get five taels of silver. Then, watchmakers can easily get a salary of hundreds of silver in a year. Under this effect, I am afraid that Chen Kaizhi will not need to promote the so-called physics and mechanical manufacturing, and countless outstanding talents will flock to it. More and more people are beginning to learn this knowledge, hoping to become the best.

You know, in this world, it is not easy to find a salary of 100 taels per year. If an ordinary little landlord has hundreds of acres of land at home, he may not have the harvest.

In this way, even if Chen Kaizhi has opened up a shortcut, the shortcut is that you don’t need to read books for your whole life, so as to become a scholar, a juren, and a master; you can spend a few years learning another kind of knowledge and a juren, and its social status may be far inferior to that of a scholar or a juren, but being able to have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life is enough to change a person’s destiny.

Only when there are more people like this can physics and manufacturing continue to develop. They will improve clocks and improve various manufacturing processes. In the end, if these knowledge is applied to other mechanical manufacturing, it will be the same.

So... for Chen Kaizhi, this watch industry will be the starting point for everything he has.

Xun Ya looked at Chen Kaiyi and frowned and said, "I read the account book and sent someone down the mountain to find out some of the situation. Many people still have some concerns about this clock. The biggest complaint is that it is difficult to transport the clock. In addition, it is also easy to damage. Last night, there was a big clock from a salt merchant, which was broken."

Chen Kaizhi was ashamed. Although it was a finished product, the craftsmen of the watch workshop had roughly begun to become familiar with the process. But after all, this was the first time in this era to make such a delicate thing. This thing was costly and expensive. If it was easily damaged, it would indeed cause great concerns. After all, no one's money was blown by the strong wind.

Chen Kaizhi pondered for a moment and said, "Then you might as well have a warranty."

"Warranty?" Xun Ya was stunned and looked at Chen Kaizhi in confusion, as if she didn't understand what Chen Kaizhi meant.

However, Chen Kaizhi understood that for Xunya, it is normal not to understand, so there is no concept of warranty in this era.

Chen Kaizhi shook his head with a wry smile, and quickly explained to Xun Ya: "It is to promise people that as long as we buy our clocks and whenever there is a problem, we will be responsible for sending special personnel to repair them. The repair personnel will be drawn from the craftsmen."

"But this alone won't work. I have to think of another way." Chen Kaizhi knew that it was not easy to accept new things in this era that was approaching conservative. Those rich families had special people to report time at home. Even if there weren't, there were no sundials. Of course, although the clocks were advanced, after all, they had already been used to those old ways. It was really not easy to change people's fixed habits and allow people to accept new things. They had to think of ways.

Chen Kaizhi frowned and was silent for a moment before slowly saying, "This way, please make a few big bells for me. This big bell should be grand. It is best to use gold and silver to make it. Don't care about the workmanship."

Although Xun Ya didn't understand why Chen Kaizhi asked this, she knew that there must be Chen Kaizhi's reason. She just wanted to believe that Chen Kaizhi had a way.

So Xun Ya replied crisply: "Okay."

There are so many people here that Chen Kaizhi doesn't want to say much, so he stops talking about clocks and smiles at her and says, "Thank you for your hard work these days."

"Where?" Xun Ya stroked the messy hair on her forehead, and returned to her delicate daughter's appearance, shook her head and said, "This is all worthy of."

The word "should" is actually more sincere than many love words. The so-called vows and love are not as good as the three words in this ordinary way.

Chen Kaizhi smiled and said, "I have to go to the Ministry of Rites later. Now, I am very busy. Now I have multiple jobs. You can take care of the family affairs."

It is said that he went to the Ministry of Rites, but in fact it is just a report on his duties.

Xun Ya has always been sensible and decent, so she no longer delayed Chen Kaizhi's time, so she asked Chen Kaizhi to go down the mountain earlier.

After Chen Kaizhi arrived at the Ministry of Rites, the person in charge of greeting him was the head of the Ministry of Service.

The headmaster looked very bad. Although he tried his best to look polite, Chen Kaizhi could also see the clues when he looked gloomy.

After Chen Kaizhi sat down, he picked up the teacup, took a sip of the tea, and then said lightly: "About all countries..."

"Oh." The head of the army looked at Chen Kaiyi and immediately sighed: "About this matter, please show off General Chen. The envoys of various countries have already negotiated with the Seoke Department and the Honglu Temple. The Northern Yan State is not bad, at least not taking any harm. Now there is news that the Hu people may go south to attack Chen and want to avenge Prince Nabatu. So early this morning, the envoys of Nanchu came and said that they hope that Chen could return to Jiangling Prefecture."

Jiangling Mansion...

Chen Kai is stunned.

Speaking of which, Jiangling Prefecture said that it was the same as the three prefectures in Jibei. However, this was an old thing hundreds of years ago. When the Great Chen fought in southern China, he wanted to unify the world, but in the end he did not surrender to the Southern Chu. However, it was not completely unsuccessful. At least the Jiangling Prefecture in Jingxiang finally fell into the hands of Da Chen, so that Nan Chu only occupied one part of Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan and Guizhou, and northern Vietnam. These were mostly steep lands.

Nan Chu has always hoped to recover the Jiangling area, but now they have taken this opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

Isn't this meaning obvious?

The Hu people may go south. If Da Chen does not return to Jiangling Prefecture, even if Nan Chu does not move troops to Da Chen, as long as he stations troops on the front line of Jinling, it will be enough for Da Chen to be unable to resist the Hu people in the north with all his strength.

This is clearly a desire to break the bridge across the river.

They even understood their attitude. If they didn't return, they would probably attack the Chen Dynasty like the Hu people.

This is a very annoying thing.

Although he felt it was annoying, Chen Kaizhi seemed very calm on his face. In fact, he did not expect these. In essence, the interests of various countries were mixed and each had their own small plans. Even when Northern Yan was attacked, inside Da Chen, wouldn’t most people still hope to join forces with the Hu people to destroy Yan?

Now it's Da Chen's turn, and the countries naturally want to follow the Hu people to destroy Da Chen.

But such thoughts really make people feel disgusting.

The head said in a frustration at this moment.

"Not only that, even the people of Nanyue hope to obtain some islands in the East. They said they were willing to spend gold and silver to buy them, ha... they said they were buying them, but in fact, the people of Yue were the best at the navy. If they occupied many islands in the East, any ship of my Great Chen would have to travel through the sea of ​​Jiren. It was fine in normal times, but if it was time for war, then..."

Such a situation is simply surrounded by enemies, and wars may break out at any time in the borders of Dachen.

Chen Kaizhi seemed extremely calm, took a sip of tea again, looked at the main matter and asked, "Is there any?"
