Su Ruanmei walked into the lobby of the Taishi Bureau, and saw a young man about thirty years old standing on the table in the center of the lobby, planning some pattern with a circle.

Su Ruanmei didn't know what kind of position this person was in the Taishi Bureau, but seeing that everyone else was unstable, Su Ruanmei slowly walked to the young man's side and quietly watched him draw.

"Apprentice, go and pour a cup of tea for the master, the master is a little thirsty."

The young man tugged at the collar of his official uniform with his hand, as if he was a little irritable, Su Ruanmei looked around but no one responded to him. Simply placing a kettle on the round table not far away, Su Ruanmei turned around and poured the tea and handed it to the young official.

The young officer took the teacup, took a sip, and then pointed to the drawing on the table with a compass and smiled slightly.

"I think there is a shortage of water in Jingzhou, and there has been no rain in the past few months, master, I went to Jingzhou a few days ago to investigate, according to the mountain hydrology of Jingzhou, there must be water in these deep diggings, and you ...... again."

After the young official finished speaking, he raised his head, only to find that it was not his apprentice standing beside him, but a shy little brother.

"You ......"

The young officer asked a little inexplicably.

Su Ruanmei was about to give up her hand to answer, but the young official suddenly realized again.

"Su Qiang, the new historian who came to report from the Taishi Bureau, you seem to be the distant nephew of Prime Minister Shangguan?"

After the young officer finished speaking, he picked up the pen and circled the drawing a few times.

Su Ruanmei was a little confused when she heard the words of the young official, not only was her name changed, but her gender also became a man.

"What this official doesn't like the most is that you go through the back door, you'd better give me a point in the Taishi Bureau, and leave when you get the money every month, and as for the rest of the Taishi Bureau, you won't bother."

After the young official finished speaking, he took another sip of tea, and at this time a young man in his twenties came running from outside the lobby, the young man had fine skin and tender meat, wearing an official uniform, but he put his hat in his hand, and the young official put down his teacup and said to him impatiently when he saw the young man.

"I said Su Qi, where did you kid go, I didn't see your figure all morning, quickly seal this drawing with fire paint, and let Zhongzhou Yicheng send it to Jingzhou Mansion."

As he spoke, the young official handed the drawings to Su Qi, who wiped the sweat from his forehead and nodded with a smile.

"It just so happens that the new historian is also surnamed Su, and you are from this family, you take him to the Taishi Bureau first, and tell him the rules of our Taishi Bureau."

After the young officer finished speaking, he picked up a blank piece of paper and traced it again.

Su Qi rolled up the drawing and put it on his chest, and then led Su Ruanmei out of the lobby.

"I don't know what you call Brother Su."

Su Qi asked Su Ruanmei very respectfully.

Su Ruanmei gave Su Qi a bow.

"Under the surname Su...... Strong, a newcomer, I hope that Master Su will give me a lot of advice. ”

Seeing that Su Ruanmei was so polite, Su Qi also scratched the back of her head with a smile and said.

"What an adult, I'm an errand runner in the Taishi Bureau, and now I'm a trainee historian under my master Han Santong, I think my master is a famous figure in the Taishi Bureau, less than thirty years old, he is already a doctor of the Tai Academy, a straight bachelor of Longhua Palace, a canon of the Taishi Bureau, in addition to the Taishi Bureau, Taishi Linglu and Lord Wang, even the deputy canon has to listen to my master, and this Taishi Bureau is mainly in charge of astronomy, calendar, court records, literary and historical correction, as well as answering questions for the emperor and harem concubines, stargazing and interpreting dreams, etc., However, the indispensable departments in this palace are divided into the Astronomical Institute, the Armillary Instrument Engraving Institute, the Bell and Drum Academy, the Calendar Printing Institute, the School History Office, and the Yanguan Chronicle Office, which not only records the daily words and deeds of the emperor and the civil and military officials, but also provides a basis for compiling history in the future. ”

Su Qi Balabala kept talking, and the two had already arrived at the armillary instrument leak detection station while they were talking.

When Su Ruanmei entered the armillary instrument leak detection station, she saw a two-person high wind weather geodynamic instrument in the side hall of the main room, and some grooves like copper bowls were placed around the geodynamic instrument.

Su Ruanmei pointed to the ground motion instrument and asked Su Qi curiously.

"Can this thing really measure earthquakes?"

After Su Ruanmei finished speaking, Su Qi stepped forward and said with a smile.

"That's nature, although the accuracy needs to be improved, but it's better than nothing, think Zhang Yi's armillary sphere has been lost, we are also imitated by later generations, according to my years of research on geography, the production principle of this geodynamic instrument still has some truth."

Su Ruanmei listened to Su Qi's words and nodded her head.

If you want to predict such a thing as an earthquake, even in modern times, you can't guarantee 100%, basically an earthquake happens, and then the earthquake bureau announces the news, which is completely an afterthought.

Su Ruanmei looked at the wind and ground motion instrument, and asked Su Qi very curiously.

"This is called the Mixer Leak Detection Station, and there should still be Zhang Yi's leakage armillary sphere, and I don't know where this thing is."

After Su Ruanmei finished speaking, Su Qi gave Su Ruanmei a thumbs up.

"Brother Su is really insightful, and come with me."

Su Qi said and took Su Ruanmei to another side hall in the main room, which was in a very private place, and the sound of gurgling water could be heard all around.

Su Ruanmei was amazed when she entered the side hall, only to see that there was a huge space inside, and there was a platform in the center of the side hall, Su Ruanmei walked to the platform, Su Qi started the mechanism, and then one or three rotating rings appeared around the platform, and on the dome of the side hall, there were many shiny holes.

"It turns out that the ancients also had such a tall thing."

After Su Ruanmei finished speaking, Su Qi smiled slightly.

"Brother Su is really joking, this is just the rules of simulating the sun, moon and stars, so that we can study the rules and positions of the stars.

After Su Qi finished speaking, he closed the mechanism, and the ring stopped swinging

"Master Su, do you have any other interesting things in the Taishi Bureau?"

Su Ruanmei said with some unfinished thoughts.

Su saw that Su Ruanmei was on the rise, and it was not easy to brush her mind, so he took her to the small house where the most precise time scale of the Jokhang Kingdom was placed and the Taishi Museum where various historical precious materials were placed.

"Isn't this Cai Quan a traitor, so he writes so well here, and says that his calligraphy is unparalleled in the world."

Su Ruanmei just said casually with the historical materials, and Su Qi quickly covered her mouth.

"Hey, Brother Su, don't even say it, Cai Xiang has only been dead for twenty years, and his protégés and former officials still hold important positions in the court, if you let them hear this, it will be fine."
