Daqin: I was overheard by Zulong

Chapter 256 Mercury Thermometer

Damn it, if I can't handle my son, it's better to handle his mother, so I'm going to find trouble and take my anger out on Mrs. Qiongzhi.

At this time, Mrs. Qiongzhi didn't know that a disaster would come. She was currently in her palace, posing in front of the mirror.

The first time Zhao Yi made the mirror, he prepared a huge floor-to-ceiling mirror for his mother.

When Mrs. Qiongzhi stood in front of the mirror, she could see herself in the mirror. Naturally, the more Mrs. Qiongzhi looked at such a novel thing, the more she liked it.

So when Ying Zheng stepped into Madam Qiongzhi's palace, Madam Qiongzhi was changing her clothes.

Seeing Ying Zheng coming in, Mrs. Qiongzhi immediately pulled Ying Zheng to the floor-to-ceiling mirror affectionately, not noticing Ying Zheng's stinky face at all, and enthusiastically introduced Ying Zheng.

"Your Majesty, look quickly. This is a floor-standing mirror that Yi'er gave to my concubine. When you look into the mirror, does it show us clearly, even our feet can be seen? It is better than the bronze mirror used in ordinary times. It's so useful!"

"Your Majesty, look at it. In this mirror, your face and the gauze on my body can be clearly seen..."

Mrs. Qiongzhi held Ying Zheng in front of the floor-length mirror. When a woman becomes crazy because of a beloved thing, there is basically no chance for people around her to intervene.

Ying Zheng had no chance to speak. Originally, he came to Mrs. Qiongzhi to find trouble, but now he was pulled by Mrs. Qiongzhi to look in the mirror.

However, looking at Mrs. Qiongzhi's partially undressed appearance in the mirror, Ying Zheng felt an inexplicable heat in his heart. With a sudden wave of his hand, the palace attendant immediately withdrew.

Not long after, in Mrs. Qiongzhi's palace, there were bursts of indescribable movements.

On the other side, in the East Palace, Zhao Yi had just coaxed away a group of girls, and was about to stop for a while, when Wang Chi came to the door.

"Your Highness, how could you leave the mercury workshop to the eldest son of the Feng family to manage? You also gave him something as important as a mercury thermometer to make. Do you know that the progress is now completely behind schedule? He also told me Don’t be anxious…”

Seeing Wang Chi's eager expression, Zhao Yi burst into laughter, casually took a can of tea in front of him, and threw it over to Wang Chi, "Okay, old Wang, you have to be considerate of me."

"After all, he is the brother of my future princess. Besides, you know the Mercury Workshop. It's no different from a garment workshop or a paper workshop. That place is dangerous!"

"Only my brother-in-law has the guts to lead people to do this kind of thing. I can trust him to do this. As for the progress, just slow down. Slow work will produce fine work. You can't just think about it early." Make money and don’t take human life seriously!”

Zhao Yi is just an idle fish, why would he worry about the people below catching fish?If it wasn't for fear of danger, he would also want to get involved.

When Wang Chi heard Zhao Yi's attitude, he could only shake his head and sigh: "Your Highness, this is not the way to go. The publicity has already been done. I have hundreds of orders here. Don't worry, I'm worried." !”

"That's it!" Zhao Yi became serious when he heard that there were so many orders, "Well, Bubai, take a letter to the Mercury Workshop, telling them to hurry up and hand over a thousand thermometers tomorrow. Otherwise, don’t blame Gu for the replacement!”

Dongfang Bubai agreed abruptly, and then left in a hurry.

Seeing Zhao Yi suddenly becoming so serious, Wang Chi couldn't help but feel his heart tighten, "His Royal Highness, why are you so suddenly... You do this, Doctor Yushi..."

"Whatever he does, things are bigger than people!" Zhao Yi smiled freely, "I'm happy to call him brother-in-law, but if I'm not, I'll let him go. Who dares to say anything?"

As soon as he heard Zhao Yi say this, Wang Chi suddenly had a bottom line in his heart. This one didn't take it seriously at all, so he would definitely receive the goods tomorrow!

Sure enough, with Zhao Yi's pressure, Wang Chi received more than 1000 mercury thermometers from the mercury workshop the next day.

When he finally saw the finished mercury thermometer, Wang Chi was surprised. Holding the slender glass-shaped thermometer, he said in surprise, "This little thing can really accurately measure the body temperature?"

Hearing Wang Chi's question, the delivery man replied with a smile: "My lord, this is a handicraft handed down by the crown prince. There is absolutely no problem. Why don't you try it, just put the end of this thermometer under your armpit and wait silently?" You can see it by counting three hundred.”

After hearing what the clerk said, Wang Chi actually tried it. After silently counting to three hundred, he took out the thermometer, and then under the guidance of the clerk, he saw the mercury column on the scale.

"Look here, my lord. The mercury scale is pointing to 36.8 degrees. This is your current body temperature. This is normal, but if the mercury exceeds 37.3 degrees, it means that the human body has fever symptoms." .”

The numbers on the mercury thermometer all use Arabic numerals. Now, with the promotion of the Imperial College, Arabic numerals have become popular throughout Xianyang City, so Wang Chi naturally knows them.

"This column of mercury, where it points now, is my current body temperature?" Wang Chi looked surprised.

"Yes, your current temperature is normal. If someone's temperature is lower than 35 or higher than 38, it is an abnormal body temperature and needs treatment."

Wang Chi understood it as soon as he heard it, and immediately put the thermometer into the store to start selling, and immediately arranged for a special person to deliver the goods ordered before to the door.

Most of the people who buy thermometers come from medical clinics in Xianyang City. Of course, there are also ordinary people who buy them. After all, every time a new product is launched in Wang Chi's shop, it will go through a wave of publicity first.

Everyone now knows that as long as it is a new product from Wang Chi's shop, it is the most profitable when it first enters the market.

Therefore, although most people don't know what this thermometer can do, the appearance is enough to attract people.

In addition, the thermometer itself is expensive, and the price of a thermometer is [-] yuan, so it makes people feel that it is a rare commodity.

So when the thermometer was launched, in less than half a day, [-] thermometers were sold out!
Of course, when each thermometer is sold, there will be a dedicated person teaching how to use the thermometer.

People who come to buy, after using the thermometer, can't help being stunned by the magic of the thermometer.

"Oh my god, this thermometer can actually measure my body temperature. This thing is interesting!"

"Yeah, yeah, I just tested it for myself, and it's less than 37 degrees, so it's normal!"

"I just tested my son, and it's over 38 degrees. No wonder my son keeps saying he doesn't feel well. It looks like he's really sick!"

"My God, is it so magical? Then I'll buy one for myself!"
