The current status of Wang Fugui is definitely higher than that of Lang Qing.

But if we broaden our horizons to hundreds of years, or even thousands of years, then it is basically certain that Langqing's reputation is greater than his.

After hundreds of years, who would still know that there is such a person as Wang Fugui?

But Langqing was different. The scope of use of clocks at that time was definitely wider.

As an inventor, it is normal for him to be remembered.

Maybe there will be stories about Lang Qing in elementary education textbooks.

…

In the iron-making workshop of Changsun's family, there is a courtyard that seems rather mysterious.

Since the end of last year, this yard has been guarded by special personnel, and ordinary people are not allowed to enter and exit at will.

"How's it going? Are you still not sure how to move?"

Changsun Chong looked at the clock in front of him, which was similar in height to the clock sold by Zhenpin Pavilion, with a displeased expression on his face.

"Lang Jun, we have confirmed several times that every part is the same as others, but for some reason, after it is assembled, it just doesn't move accurately."

A steward explained cautiously.

A simple auction in the Chu Palace raised 200,000 gold, which really shocked the noble people of Chang'an City.

When did money become so easy to earn?

Soon, some people began to imitate the making of clocks.

From a purely structural point of view, it seems that there is nothing particularly difficult about the clock produced by Prince Chu's Mansion.

But when I actually started doing it, I found that that was not the case at all.

"In the beginning, the desk clock you made couldn't even move. It finally worked normally. But you told me that it wouldn't move after a few hours, and the error was as high as half an hour. Who could use such a thing?

Would you like it?"

Changsun Chong's imitation of the clock was full of expectations.

Although Li Kuan encouraged Li Shimin to establish the Royal Patent Office of the Tang Dynasty in order to monopolize the profits of the clock, Changsun Chong was not afraid.

On the one hand, this patent office has a new product on the market, and everyone has not yet felt its power.

On the other hand, Changsun Chong also thought of a countermeasure.

When the time comes to change it to a completely different appearance, you can’t say I’ve infringed the patent, right?

The Changsun family is not that kind of small peddler, so how can they be afraid of him, Li Kuan?

"Lang Jun, of course my subordinates understand this. But I heard that in the clock and watch workshop of Prince Chu's Mansion, all measuring instruments are produced by Guanshishan Academy, and the size of each part is fixed. Our workshop has always

The new measurement method of Guanshishan Academy was not adopted, so even if these gears were made according to the samples, there would be some errors. If they were ordinary things, this error would be nothing, but when used to make a clock, it would be

It will become inaccurate.”

The steward of Changsun's family is obviously not the kind of fat-headed person who only knows how to make a living.

However, without Changsun Chong's approval, how could he dare to advance such a matter as fully accepting the new measurement scheme?

Who doesn't know that Changsun Chong is very at odds with the Prince of Chu's Mansion?

"Just the millimeters, centimeters, and meters that Li Kuan created, how big of an impact does it have?"

Although Changsun Chong is considered smart, he is still a scholar after all and does not have a deep understanding of these things.

However, the expression on his steward's face said everything.

"Go to Xinhua Bookstore and buy a few sets of new measuring instruments, then re-make the parts of the clock and see what the effect is."

Changsun Chong would not give up making the clock easily, so he would rather hold his nose and accept the theory proposed by Guanshishan Academy.

In Chang'an City, similar situations are not uncommon.

The so-called moisturizing thing is silent, Guanshishan Academy has produced many things, although it has not spent much effort to promote them.
