At noon that day, Concubine Yang gave the pocket watch to Li Shimin.
Li Shimin was overjoyed.
He regarded the pocket watch as a treasure.
Listening to the ticking sound of the pocket watch, I feel very energetic in doing things.
He felt that it was not enough by himself and said that he must share it with everyone.
For this reason, he also let more than a dozen important officials enter the Daming Palace together.
With this thing, you have to show it well.
Among those dozen officials, there were Fang Xuanling, Dai Zhou and others.
When they arrived, Li Shimin took out his pocket watch, but instead of showing it to everyone, he said:
"I got something. It's very strange. There are thousands of parts in a square circle! There is also glass on it, which is transparent. You must not be able to guess what it is?"
Everyone is confused, what is that?
They couldn't figure it out.
There are so many things in the world, how could they possibly guess them?
Li Shimin smiled proudly like a child.
It seems like no one knows.
So he said, "What do you think this is?"
Then, he took out his pocket watch and looked at everyone's expressions. What he was waiting for was not shock. But another expression.
Because this was taken out for everyone to see.
Everyone saw clearly that the thing in his hand was a pocket watch.
So, everyone said the name of this thing in unison.
"It's a pocket watch!"
When I mentioned the pocket watch, there wasn’t much envy.
Li Shimin was embarrassed now.
I wanted to show off, but now it seems impossible.
The place became quiet.
What I fear most is the sudden silence of the air.
Everyone seemed to have expected something bad.
But they didn't know what to say.
Just like this, you look at me and I look at you.
After a long time, Li Shimin asked: "How do you know this is a pocket watch?"
Fang Xuanling took out a pocket watch from his arms.
It's the same as Li Shimin's.
"It was a gift from the Shengtang Group... Each of the ministers in the palace yesterday had a pocket watch."
Each of the ministers in the government received one piece.
That's a lot of money.
This pocket watch is very delicate, which shows that it can be mass-produced.
In this way...
This time Li Shimin became depressed.
In other words, everyone had it yesterday, but I didn't.
What is this!
Why should everyone have it before themselves?
He is still the emperor!
But judging from the bad relationship between him and Li Min, there is nothing wrong with this.
All the bitter water can only be swallowed in the belly.
"Let me take a look!"
He took Fang Xuanling's pocket watch and tried to see the difference, but failed.
No matter how you look at it, the two pocket watches are identical.
Li Min didn't give it to him first because he was the emperor.
Li Min treats everyone equally.
But Li Shimin didn't give up, and then asked Dai Zhou next to him to take it out and take a look.
Sure enough, he had a piece too.
The three pocket watches are exactly the same.
It seems that he got this thing after the ministers.
"When was this pocket watch produced? Is it on the market now?"
He was very curious.
Key points were also asked.
He wondered if everyone had it, and if that was the case, it wouldn't be interesting.
"It was produced yesterday. Shengtang Group produced a large amount of it yesterday. This is the first batch. The Sixth Prince gave us the pocket watch so that the ministers can try it out together. If there is anything bad about it, he wants to talk to him! Then he saw Improvement, trial production of the second batch of pocket watches, I heard that the second batch will produce 10,000 pieces! Each piece costs one hundred taels of silver!"
Fang Xuanling said.
After saying this, Li Shimin seemed to feel better.
This can be regarded as a public beta. Let’s see how everyone reacts. Only in this way can we improve the new pocket watch and produce a pocket watch that people will like more.
As for the price, the initial price won’t be low, but it won’t be much higher either.
Therefore, Li Shimin's expression softened a little.
"That's it. It's a shame that boy can think of such a thing."
After finishing, he collected his pocket watch and returned the other two pieces to Fang Xuanling and Dai Zhou.
"Okay, if there's nothing else to do, you all should step aside!"
Finally, Li Shimin said.
It's especially embarrassing at this time.
There is no need for everyone to stay here all the time.
But he didn't want Cheng Yaojin's voice to be heard from outside the door.
"Your Majesty, I have a good gift for you!"
Um?
The ministers were puzzled.
What good things could Cheng Yaojin have for Li Shimin?
"Oh? What is it?"
Li Shimin asked as soon as he saw Cheng Yaojin appear with a huge box in his hand.
"Here, in the box, take a look!"
"Let me see it!"
Then Li Shimin opened the box and took a look.
At this sight, his whole face changed drastically.
"Zhijie, what are you doing, just giving me this thing?"
Cheng Yaojin was puzzled.
"Your Majesty, this is the clock I bought at a high price from the Sixth Prince. It is the only clock in the entire Tang Dynasty now!"
Cheng Yaojin was very puzzled as to why Li Shimin was so angry.
"Okay, step back and take your clock back!"
"His Majesty!"
"Get out, did you hear me?"
Li Shimin was furious.
Blow out all the people.
Cheng Yaojin felt aggrieved.
Okay, why are you angry?
I kindly gave him something.
Then, everyone was blasted out.
Cheng Yaojin was puzzled.
Asked Fang Xuanling.
"Lao Fang, tell me, how is your Majesty doing today?"
This made Fang Xuanling keep shaking his head.
"General Cheng, you said there is nothing wrong with giving me a gift. Why do you want to give me a bell?"
Cheng Yaojin heard this.
Seems to realize something.
Send a clock? Farewell...
Now things are getting serious.
He didn't expect it to be like this.
No wonder, Li Min must have told him that it was best not to give this thing away.
He thought the thing was too valuable, so he couldn't give it away.
I didn't expect it to be because of this.
What to do?
Go back and talk to Li Shimin, otherwise it will definitely leave a bad impression!
"That's not what I meant. No, I have to talk to His Majesty!"
When you're done, you have to turn around and go in.
But he was pulled out by Fang Xuanling.
"I advise you to explain it some other time. Explaining it now will undoubtedly add fuel to the fire and will only make you feel more uncomfortable!"
"Ah! No, Lao Fang, you must help me!"
"Okay, I'll explain it to you next time."
"Well done then."
"What are you talking about!"
"By the way, Shengtang Group will have another event in eight days, shall we go there together?"
Cheng Yaojin said suddenly.
"Activity? What activity?"
"I don't know. What the Sixth Prince said, I overheard. Don't tell others. Let's go take a look in eight days? There must be something good."
But nothing produced by Shengtang Group is bad.
"It's good to have love, then let's go together!"
At the same time, a group of strangely dressed people appeared at the west gate of Chang'an.
After someone saw them, they went into Daming Palace to report to Li Shimin.
