"Zhao'er, Yu'er, why are you two standing here?"

"Daddy......"

"There's flowers on the wall for you to see, it's almost time to eat, go wash and have dinner!" Lotte said indifferently, and then said to the maid next to him: "Take these two children to wash!" ”

"I've seen the master!" The maid next to him hurriedly saluted Lotte, and said timidly: "Master, the two Yanai have been punished by His Royal Highness, and they have thought about it here!" ”

"We were playful, we overplayed, and we didn't pay attention to the time!" Le Zhao said timidly.

"I'm back, the child is still young...... Lotte nodded and said with a smile, and then looked at Emperor Maode's slightly bulging lower abdomen: "Your Highness, don't be angry, be careful if you move the fetus......"

"Daddy......"

"Good daughter, let daddy kiss!" picked up Meng'er, and Lotte teased, causing her daughter to giggle and laugh.

The two children, Le Zhao and Le Yu, also gathered around Lotte, one holding one of Lotte's thighs.

Holding his daughter in one hand and kneading the little faces of his two sons with the other, Lotte giggled happily.

"Okay, okay, I'll teach them to learn from today onwards!" Lotte walked to the back house, said with a smile, and then asked the two children: "Yu'er, Zhao'er, why are you two punished today??" ”

"Why?" Lotte asked with a smile.

Patting his daughter rewardingly, Lotte asked the two eldest sons, "Do you know it's wrong?" ”

"But, Daddy, we don't know how long two quarters of an hour is......" Le Yu next to him shouted.

Even because the time is not easy to calculate, the officials come from the sky in the early court, and the early the sun rises in summer, the time of the court is early; The sun rises late in winter, and the time of the dynasty is also postponed, and in ancient times when there was no clock to keep time, the ancients could be said to be very sad.

"What about the others?" Just feeding his eldest son Le Yi to eat, Mao De didn't pay attention to Lotte leaving, and when he found that Lotte's position had been vacant, Mao De Di Ji asked.

Letting the nurse take away the well-fed Le Yi, Emperor Mao shook her head and said: "I just said that I would teach a few children to read, and I slipped into my study quietly!" ”

At this time, Concubine Mo Yan spoke: "Your Highness, the concubine thinks that the children of the family do not need the supervision of the officials now, and when they are fully literate in the future, they can be educated by the officials!" ”

Although Emperor Mao De grew up in the deep palace since childhood, he also thinks that the pinyin method taught by Lotte is very effective for children's literacy and reading, but he still sighs: "Literacy is only the foundation, and the knowledge of the scriptures and meanings is the most important!" ”

"Since ancient times, my father was a professor who was not good for his own children, and judging from the concubine's body, it is better to invite the famous Confucian to come to the mansion to teach!" Aunt Ying interjected on the side.

Lingzi and Aunt Mei are not very literate, but they are just listening to a few people discussing on the sidelines.

"What is this painted by Hou Ye, it looks extremely sophisticated and complicated?"

"Clocks!" Lotte said lightly.

Lotte had to explain: "Clocks are used to show the time!" ”

"Not bad!" Lotte nodded, pointed to the drawing and said: "The day is divided into twelve hours, and one hour is divided into eight quarters, so Le divided this dial into twelve parts to correspond to the twelve hours, and gave the clock strength through the clockwork, so that the clockwork drove the clock to run, pointed out the time of the day with the hour hand, and displayed the quarter of the hour with the minute."

Lotte explained carefully to the bear steward.

Lotte nodded: "You said yes, Le changed the leaky pot into a clockwork made of steel sheets, and used the strong clockwork to drive the rotation of the clock, so as to realize the rotation of the clock......"

With Lotte's connections and intelligence-gathering capabilities, it was not a problem to think that the drawings of these things would not be a problem at all, so he combined his memory clock style with the transmission mechanism of the water transport instrument platform, used its escape mechanism principle, and then reduced the huge mechanism of the water transportation instrument to the clockwork power, and created the world's first clock without any suspense.

After understanding Lotte's explanation, Steward Xiong bowed deeply to Lotte and praised him.

Then Steward Xiong asked again: "I don't know how big Master Hou wants to make this clock?" ”

"Small or big?" Steward Xiong didn't understand what Lotte meant, let alone why he wanted to be big or small.

As for making it bigger, according to our current technology, we can make the clock a size or larger, and it can be placed in a building, but because of the size of the clock, the clock cannot be driven by a clockwork, but by electricity or wind power, and the solution of this problem is more difficult to overcome than the clock itself. ”

As long as the clock is invented and put into the market, the concept of time will become clearer and clearer, and the clock will be sought after by countless people, and the clock will be made small to only the size of a pigeon egg or an egg in the future, then the clock will have broken through the meaning of the concept of time, and will become a luxury, but also a symbol and symbol of identity, and attract countless people to seek after, to show their identity.
