In fact, there is something magical about it, that is, there is a set of small clocks in the stomach of the magpie, and when it comes to the set moment, it will be struck, which is no different from the general mechanical clock to tell the time on time. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 In fact, there is often such a device on a large water leak meter, but it is usually done with a bell and drum.

After listening to it for a while, Mei Xun also understood, and said to Yan Su: "Replace the bell and drum with a chime, and also knock out a tune, although it is a little simpler, but it is much more pleasant." It took a lot of thought for you to make this pendulum. ”

Yan Su smiled, the carvings that everyone really made together were the two in the pavilion, which were just ringing the bell. However, Xu Ping later brought people to make these, and the sound was strange.

When the voice passed, Mei Xun asked again: "Yan waits for the system, the bell has been struck, how do you know what time it is?" ”

Yan Su stepped forward, pointed to the upper part of the engraved pendulum and said, "Bachelor, please see, there is a word here, which can change at any time in twelve hours." Now here is the word 'Chen', that is, the time has passed, and now the time has passed. ”

"Oh, that's a word that changes! I didn't pay attention just now. What do you think of that time now? ”

Isn't there a line underneath this word? This is the time, from one to hundred, and the above line points to where it is. If you look at the word of the hour and the following moment, you will know what time it is. ”

A day and night are divided into twelve hours and a hundred quarters, and the two are not unified among them, but must be seen separately. Since one hundred is not divisible by twelve, the number of moments is only an approximation, and it is still a little inconvenient to add it together.

The hour corresponds to the time of the day, and because the length of the day and night within a year is inconsistent, there is a clear reference for the hour. The moment is fixed and has nothing to do with the time when the sun rises and sets.

Xu Ping wants to integrate the two, which is not difficult, it is a matter of habit. But it is not something he can decide, and a unified understanding must be formed and ordered by the emperor. This also involves a large number of records of Si Tianjian, and how to deal with it is also a problem. It takes manpower and material resources to change it all, and if you don't change it, it will cause trouble and dilemma.

China's thousands of years of civilization have accumulated countless wealth for future generations, but it has also burdened future generations. What feels like something is very simple, but there is often a lot of work involved in the back.

Due to the different timekeeping habits now, Xu Ping mainly uses the disc that is used to display the time in his previous life, but mainly the words and long scales. Only the two large ones in the pavilion were used for calibration, and some of the obviously high-end ones were attached to the discs, which were marked with Chinese characters and Arabic numbers. The circle is still divided into 12 hours, and each hour is divided into a small interval in the middle, divided into half an hour up and down, which is equivalent to a 24-hour system. The outer circle is the hour, the inner circle is the moment, and the day is still divided into 100 quarters, which is clear at a glance.

The internal principles of these engraving pendulums are not understood by ordinary officials, and even more so by the ministers who are looking for chapters and excerpts, and the first thing that amazes them is the method of showing the time of engraving. In the past, the most sophisticated thing was nothing more than two villains coming out at the hour, one hitting the bell and the other beating the drum, which was far less obvious than the current method.

When Zhao Zhen arrived, the sun had already risen high, the fog had already dispersed, and the weather began to heat up.

On this kind of day, there are many inconveniences in the house, and everyone is polite and goes directly to the back garden.

Walking all the way into the pavilion, Zhao Zhen looked at the various carvings on both sides, full of interest, listened to Xu Ping's introduction, and nodded again and again.

After sitting down in the pavilion and having used tea, Zhao Zhen and Lu Yijian listened to the introduction of Xu Ping and Yan Su, and immediately agreed, and the new carved pendulum was sent to Si Tianjian for verification. The first stage is three months, and then it will be discussed.

With the experience of countless tossing and turning of the lotus leak in front of Yansu, this time it was crisp and neat. There is another reason, the new carving is originally participated by Chu Yan and the people of Si Tianjian, and the main opposition force is missing.

After nearly an hour of hustle and bustle, Xu Ping asked his family to prepare a wine feast, and Lu Yijian also asked the officials to look around. At the beginning of the wine feast, it is necessary to make poems to remember the event, and go out to make drafts first.

In the pavilion, only Zai Zhi and Master Hanlin remained, as well as Xu Ping, who accompanied them.

After a few words of gossip, Zhao Zhen said: "A few days ago, Xu Ping played a game, saying that the candidate officials had no food and clothing in the capital, and there were even people who died of cold and starvation, which is really pitiful. Moreover, Kaifeng Prefecture also reported that among the candidate officials, there were those who had waited in the capital for a year. In order to support their families, some people engage in business, and even officials are mercenary workers, which really loses the face of the court. I decided to calculate the money in the treasury and choose a place for these officials to live in temporary peace, so that they could have no worries about food and clothing. However, so many people can't be idle every day, Xu Ping suggested that it is better to let them get together to read and study. Learn the laws and regulations, be familiar with the affairs of the officials, and wait until in addition to errands, you can also better serve the court. ”

Lu Yijian praised Wat and said: "Your Majesty is kind-hearted, this is benevolent government, and the world will praise Your Majesty's holy virtue!" ”

Wang Zeng said: "These days, some officials-elect have begun to arrive. It's just that there is a lack of manpower now, and only a few officials sent by Kaifeng Mansion are responsible for managing this matter, which is a bit chaotic. ”

Zhao Zhen nodded: "I also thought of this section, and this matter needs to be raised." Now that the affairs of the Regulations Department of the Third Division are not too busy, Shi Quanbin has free time, so how about letting him take care of this matter? ”

Lu Yijian and Wang Zeng glanced at each other, and Lu Yijian said: "Shi Quanbin is a cautious person, but he is a personal choice. However, he can only manage miscellaneous affairs, and the people there are officials, but it is not easy for him to manage. ”

Shi Quanbin is an internal servant, since it is the emperor's internal treasury money, he is in charge of the money, and others can't say anything. But to say that the officials who studied there are also under his control, it is impossible, and the two governments will not be able to pass this pass. The internal court cannot anticipate foreign affairs, and the management of officials cannot be intervened by the internal servants.

Zhao Zhen also understands this in his heart, and the two governments will arrest the personnel power of hundreds of civil and military officials. The emperor can make the final decision, and they will not give up the right to suggest and manage under any circumstances, and the matter of learning must of course be grasped in their own hands.

Yan Shu said: "In the opinion of the ministers, it is better for one person from the Inquisitor's Court and the Third Class Court to take care of this matter together with Shi Quanbin." There are three people to discuss, and if something happens, there will be no delay. ”

At this time, the prefect's court was Di Di, and the third class of the Zhiban was concurrently served by Shi Zhongli, both of whom brought Hanlin bachelors, but they didn't bring the knowledge system, they were not on duty in the academy, and they were not drafted, and they were all in the pavilion at this time.

After listening to Yan Shu's words, Shi Zhongli said, "Where can the Third Class Courtyard send people?" There is a huge courtyard, and there are only twenty or thirty large and small ones, and no one has to deliver official documents, how can they manage other things? ”

Zhang Shixun said dissatisfiedly: "Although there are not many people in the third class courtyard, if it is said that they are too busy to have time, no one will believe this!" As long as you want to smoke, you can still draw a few people! ”

"No one, no one, or the Privy Council!" Shi Zhongli waved his hand again and again, "Besides, the candidates for military ministers in the capital are not necessarily under the jurisdiction of the Third Class Academy, since the Wenchen is the Court of Inquisitors, the military ministers are also sent by the Privy Council!" ”

Of the four yamen in charge of the personnel of officials, the three classes have the largest shelves, the most rules, and the officials in charge of affairs are also the blackest in collecting money, and everyone in the officialdom knows this. Whoever is a privy envoy will look at the third class courtyard unpleasantly, but unfortunately there is really no way to help those people. Back then, Sang Yi was plotted and had to go to Lingnan to find Xu Ping.

Seriously speaking, the gate only wants to be in the pavilion of the civil ministers, such an important post, the officials of the third class court dare to openly sell it. As long as you give enough money, I will add one to you, and from then on you will be promoted faster than others.

But the problem is, no matter how much you lay off people, you can't leave no one behind. Now there are very few public officials in the Sanban Academy, and they simply don't even send official documents, they are all sent to other yamen to pick up, and no one has a way. I know that they are cheating, but I can't catch the handle, they are all old fritters as smooth as loaches. Most of the promotions of low-level military attaches are based on merit, and there are many regulations of various kinds, and it is impossible to lay off all the old people and replace them with new ones.

Shi Zhongli understands this situation better than anyone else, isn't this kind of slippery head letting them take care of the officials who come to train them to collect money? I'm afraid that once the third class is connected, it will become the first big fat difference. But he is a funny person, he never says anything directly, he just pushes that no one is there, and it is not good to expose his own ugliness.

Seeing that Zhang Shixun's face darkened, Lu Yijian said: "There are really few people in the third class committee, and the Privy Council should not send someone to take care of it." This is a big deal, and we can't be sloppy. ”

Seeing that Lu Yijian also said the same, Zhang Shixun had no choice but to agree.

The candidates were originally low-level officials, and the high-level officials were all directly taught and vacancied, and they should have been in charge of the third class of hospitals. However, Shi Zhongli pushed back and knew his temperament, so he had to let him.

As for the details of the personnel in charge, it is naturally discussed under the relevant yamen, and it is not appropriate to talk about it here. This topic will be stopped and arranged by the Cabinet and the Privy Council.

Zhao Zhen said again: "Now that there is a place, there will be a charter in the future." Another thing, after these people get together, they say that they are learning, but what are they learning? I don't know if you have any ideas? ”

Seeing that everyone was silent, Xu Ping said: "The minister has an idea, but I don't know if it's suitable or not." ”

"Even if you say it, today it's just casual talk, and you don't need to be inhibited."

"It would be of little interest to let the officials study, if they were to read poetry and books like the students of Guozijian. The minister thought that it was still mainly to learn the law and order the officials. You can appoint some officials who are good at this matter in the imperial court, let them go there to teach in their spare time, give some money and food subsidies, and they can also make meritorious contributions, I don't know if it is okay? The so-called teaching is mutually beneficial, and this is also beneficial to the officials who go to teach. (To be continued.) )
