He Shen frowned slightly. Under normal circumstances, he would not open it.
He Shen really wouldn't take it seriously if it wasn't a heavy gift.
However, since Liu Hao said so, He Shen couldn't refuse and casually opened the box in his hand.
Hiss!
He Shen couldn't help but gasp.
Was there a clock in the box? This was too exquisite!
After all, this was the latest model of the 2020 model.
New self-winding perpetual calendar watch. This watch was equipped with a Calatrava case, exquisite scallop-shaped tabs, and a three-dimensional Breguet block.
The gold and rose gold versions had ivory painted dial plates and sunken timers. The platinum model was paired with a blue sunglow dial. All models had a sapphire crystal top and an interchangable gold bottom cover.
Even in 2020, it was worth millions of dollars. In this era, it was definitely ahead of the times.
He Shen already didn't know how to describe his heart.
This thing was too valuable!
Liu Quan could not help but suck in a breath of cold air. The technology of watches had never appeared in this era.
The world's first watch was made by Patrick Phillip in 1868 for Countess Koscovicz of hundreda. However, this type of clock was not popular at that time.
In 1904, the French businessman, Louis Francois Cartier, who ran a jewelry business, received a complaint from his pilot friend, Alberto Santos Dumont. It was very difficult to take the pocket watch out of the pocket when flying a plane. He hoped that he could help solve this problem so that he could see the time during the flight. Therefore, Cartier came up with a way to tie the pocket watch to his hand with a belt and buckle to solve his friend's problem. And this pocket watch tied to the hand was the watch of today.
However, in this era, it was definitely ahead of its time.
Especially this design…
He Shen had seen countless treasures in his life, but he swore that he had never seen such a treasure.
No wonder Liu Hao asked him to open it.
This was a true treasure.
This…
He Shen picked up the pak philippe and examined it carefully. Although there were clocks in this era, watches had never appeared in this era.
However, pocket watches were already available in the Qing Dynasty. The prototype of the watch was first designed by Emperor Kangxi in 1710 and was given as a birthday gift to his mother, Empress Dowager Xiaohui. This watch is made of gold and jade, engraved with dragon and phoenix, containing yin and yang and five elements.
Unfortunately, it was still destroyed in the hands of the foreigners.
Liu Hao's watch was made from the most powerful industrial technology of the 21st century. It had been polished meticulously, so it was naturally different from ordinary watches.
Just one look and He Shen had a feeling of fondness.
"Good stuff, good stuff!" He Shen put down his watch and looked at Liu Hao. He couldn't help but say,""Liu Hao, you really gave me a lot of surprises!”
Liu Hao only smiled,"As long as you like it, it's fine. It's just…"
At this point, Liu Hao paused for a moment before continuing,""Liu Hao, please be bold. I have a question that I would like to ask Lord He!”
He Shen slightly retracted his gaze and slowly said,"Just say it!"
"Does He Daren intend to keep this watch for herself or offer it to the emperor?”" Sir He, this watch is very expensive," Liu Hao said carefully." Liu Hao believes that there is only one such watch in the world. It is very expensive to make, and the craftsmanship is very advanced!"”
At this point, Liu Hao paused slightly before continuing,""If the emperor knew that there was only one watch!“
He Shen also instantly understood.
Although he was extremely daring, He Shen knew that some things were of completely different value in his hands compared to the Emperor.
Although He Shen was now rich, he was still far from being able to dominate the court.
He wasn't arrogant enough to move the fortune stele into his own house.
He Shen was still very sensitive now. Although Qianlong was old and his energy was not as good as before, he was still the shrewd and capable emperor. His methods were cruel enough.
Although He Shen boasted that he could understand the Emperor's thoughts, as the saying goes, accompanying the Emperor was like accompanying a tiger. He naturally had to consider Qianlong's thoughts.
The emperor didn't have it, but you did.
Aren't you courting death?
He Shen narrowed his eyes and calculated in his heart. If he gave this watch to the emperor, he would naturally have no problem getting promoted.
Then, He Shen gave Liu Hao a meaningful look.
To be able to consider this at such a young age, this fellow was worth nurturing.
Liu Hao was Liu Quan's nephew and was a smooth talker. In addition, He Shen was the main examiner for this examination. Liu Hao could be considered his student. If possible, he could also be his confidant.
"That makes sense!" He Shen laughed and sized up Liu Hao. He couldn't help but say,"Liu Hao, you really make me look at you in a new light!”
"It's all thanks to Your Excellency's teachings!" "If I didn't have the guidance of my lord, how could I have understood the key to this?" Liu Hao smiled.”
He Shen laughed and spoke again,"Do you have a residence in the capital?"
"Currently staying at Yuelai Inn!" Liu Hao said.
He Shen nodded slightly and continued," It's inconvenient to stay in an inn. Since that's the case, I'll give you a house. You can stay here first. In a few days, the court examinations will be held. You should study hard. If you get good results, I'll put in a good word for you!"”
"Thank you, Lord He!“
Liu Hao stood up and bowed. He naturally knew that He Shen was treating him as one of his own. If an ordinary person could make He Shen pay, he must be dreaming.
There was still the court examination, which was where the Emperor would personally set the questions!
Liu Hao narrowed his eyes. If it was the court examinations, he wouldn't be so nervous. He had retained all the memories of the original owner of his body.
There was absolutely no problem with reciting poems, writing poems, and writing beautiful eight-part essays.
As the saying went, it was good to have someone in the court to be an official. If he did not want to rebel and relied on He Shen to protect him, at least the next 20 years would be smooth sailing for him.
However, 20 years later, Heshen was gone.
In another sixty years, it would be the first Onion War.
Liu Hao felt that it was better to rebel. The pigtail braid should have been cut off long ago.
Now, he could be considered to have stepped into the officialdom of the Qing Dynasty.
He was also facing a giant that was so powerful that it was almost suffocating.
