In the early spring of February, the weather was still so cold, the wind was biting, and the rain began to become more abundant.

On this day, after the early dynasty, Wu Zhi happened to give himself a holiday, staying in the Hou Mansion to accompany Jin Lian, Xiao'e, Liu Yue and Li Tianjiao, and tell them the ghost stories of Zhai Zhiwei.

Just when all the women were frightened, the guys from the Xiangfu Garment Workshop came to the door and brought good news, and more than 62,000 sets of new army winter clothes customized by Wu Zhi were finally made, and asked him to go over and check them. When Wu Zhi heard the news, he was very happy, and immediately took Jin Lian, Xiao'e, Liu Yue and Li Tianjiao to sit in the carriage, and the carriage was driven by the two tigers, and went to the Xiangfu garment workshop to inspect.

When he came to the Xiangfu Garment Workshop near the Liangmen of the inner city, in the face of the mountains of new military uniforms, Wu Zhi had to order Jin Lian, Xiao'e, Liu Yue and Li Tianjiao to help him inspect and accept. It took an hour to roughly inspect the goods, and after confirming that the production quality was acceptable, Wu Zhi then picked up a set of military uniforms that matched his size and tried them on.

Jin Lian, Xiao'e, Liu Yue and Li Tianjiao saw him wearing a military uniform, heroic and handsome, and they couldn't help but be intoxicated, and they circled around him, and couldn't put down the new military uniform he customized. When the second tiger saw it, his face was also full of envy.

After trying it on, Wu Zhi was quite satisfied with the quality, style and workmanship of the new military uniform, and he quickly paid the balance, which made the owner of Xiangfu Garment Workshop excited.

Coupled with the military shoes, military caps and belts that had been customized earlier, the entire set of new winter clothes of the Huaxia Army was finally made. The new summer clothes of the Huaxia Army are also being made.

So, after sending Jin Lian, Xiao'e, Liu Yue and Li Tianjiao back to the Hou Mansion, Wu Zhi was driven by Erhu to the Huaxia Army camp, found Zeng Kuan, the logistics minister, and used more than 500 carriages in the camp to mobilize more than 1,000 soldiers to collect the customized military shoes, military hats, belts and new winter clothes from various garment workshops one by one, and load them back to the Huaxia Army camp.

The notice for changing uniforms has been conveyed, and more than 31,000 officers and men are lining up in a line on the large New Army drill square, and they are standing in a neat and orderly line. The generals of each team leader also stood in front of the queue one by one, waiting for orders. new

Everyone looked at the mountains of clothes in front of them with curiosity, and looked at the commanders such as Wu Zhi, Zhou Tong, Yan Sheng, Li Tingyu, Lin Chong, Wang Jin, Feng Kun, and Zeng Kuan standing in front of them. Especially the object that Wu Zhi was carrying in his hand attracted everyone's attention.

What Wu Zhi was holding in his hand was a big horn, which was a big tin horn that he personally designed the drawings and asked Tan Si to help him make! After the production was completed, he tried the sound himself, and the effect was very good. So today he specially brought it from the Hou Mansion.

"All of them! Attention! Take a break!" Wu Zhi raised his horn and shouted into his mouth. Suddenly, the sound shook the universe, and his voice was heard throughout the square. Everyone clearly heard the instructions and completed all the actions in unison. Seeing this, Wu Zhi was very happy. It seems that the training in the past few days has been very effective.

"Today, all of you put on new uniforms! As a new army, our Huaxia Army must have the appearance of a new army, and must have a new style and discipline! Later, Minister Tsang will arrange the distribution, two sets of winter clothes per person." Wu Zhi said, and handed the loudspeaker to Zeng Kuan next to him, and he arranged it.

Zeng Kuan picked up the loudspeaker, very curious, and after yelling at the loudspeaker a few times, he began to distribute new clothes in the laughter of everyone.

After each team received the new clothes in the squad, they returned to the barracks according to the squad, changed their clothes, and then assembled according to the squad, and the squad leader led the team back to the square, and rearranged the team according to the queue, and in an instant, more than two hours passed. During this period, Wu Zhi and the generals also took their respective military uniforms and returned to the military headquarters to change into new military uniforms.

Nearly twenty-one years old, Wu Zhi has grown a little taller during this time, his height is estimated to be about 1.85 meters, after putting on the military uniform, looking at his turquoise dress, he suddenly had an illusion, as if he was in the military camp of the 21st century, and there was a familiar feeling of military training in a university.

After a while, Wu Zhi couldn't help but smile bitterly and sighed, now it's a matter of things!

"Boss, the team is assembled, please instruct!

Wu Zhi was talking to Zhou Tong, Yan Sheng, Li Tingyu and others, and Sun Qi walked in in a new green military uniform and said happily.

"Okay, let's go check it out!" Wu Zhi waved his hand, raised his feet and walked out, and Yan Sheng, Li Tingyu and others followed.

When I came to the edge of the square, I saw that the whole team gathered into a torrent of blue-green steel, which reflected the gray tents around it, which was spectacular. Everyone wore blue-green military shoes, put on blue-green clothes, and wore blue-green military hats inlaid with yellow ribbons and red five-pointed stars, with light gray belts, which were very novel and eye-catching, and full of energy. Thick new military uniforms, not only beautiful, but also warm. Such a majestic and high-spirited contingent, neat and uniform, can blind the eyes of all officers and soldiers.

Including Zhou Tong, Yan Sheng, Li Tingyu, Zeng Kuan, Lin Chong, Wang Jin, Suo Chao, Li Zhenguo, Si Fangguo and others, all the Chinese officers and soldiers looked at the brand-new green military uniform they were wearing, they were all excited and inexplicable, and a pride arose in their chests, they were so handsome, this is the heroic nature of soldiers!

Wu Zhi was also satisfied when he looked at it, this is what the new Chinese army should look like in his mind!

After changing into new-style military uniforms, the mental outlook of all officers and men has been boosted, and the standardized management and training of the Huaxia Army have been raised to a higher level.

After all the officers and men of the Huaxia Army changed into new clothes, Wu Zhi took the opportunity of an early pilgrimage to make a recital, proposing to change the morning pilgrimage every three days to the morning pilgrimage every five days, and to change the time of the upper court to the first quarter of the morning (7 o'clock in the morning), and the time of duty to go to work should be changed to start at 7 o'clock in the morning and end at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, so that he could recharge his energy to cope with his daily work.

At that time, the imperial court meeting implemented the system of the great court meeting and the vertical arch hall to see the court. On New Year's Day, May New Year's Day, and the Winter Solstice Dynasty Meeting, every Beijing official above the ninth rank must participate in and meet the emperor; The vertical arch hall is to stipulate that the court counselors above the fifth grade can participate, every three days a dynasty, also called the early dynasty, very hard, Wu Zhi is not used to it.

The five-day dynasty was originally proposed by Wang Anshi when he changed the law, and it lasted for 17 years, and then when Yuan You changed it, Wang Anshi's changes were denied and abolished, and it was changed to one day. After the death of the Empress Dowager Gao, Zhao Xu was in power, but in order to show his ambition to prosper, in order to flaunt his hard-working spirit, Zhao Xu did not change back to the five-day dynasty, but changed it to the three-day dynasty, which still made the ministers of the court suffer!

In the early dynasty, that is, the vertical arch hall looked at the court, it was stipulated that the provincial living room under the door, the living house of the Zhongshu province and the Shangshu provincial waiter, the imperial envoy Zhongcheng and above, that is, the five-grade attendant official or above, were "Japanese counselors", and they had to participate in the early dynasty every three days. The Song Dynasty had clear requirements for the time when officials went to court, and the time before waiting for the start of the court meeting was called "waiting for omission". The Song Dynasty also set up different levels of "waiting for leakage courtyards" to serve as a resting place for officials. The role of the hospital is not only to serve as a rest, the Song Dynasty inherited the system of the five dynasties, and the management of the hospital is becoming more and more perfect, when the officials are waiting, there will be special personnel to point out, send people to supervise the courtiers' situation, if there is a late arrival, to register and report to the emperor. If there is a sick person who asks for leave, special personnel will also be sent to check the authenticity.

In the early dynasty, the ministers must get up at about 2 o'clock in the morning every day, and must wait in front of the right door through the royal street at about 3 o'clock, and wait for the drum to sound, the ministers begin to line up into the imperial city, and they must not make loud noises on the way, and come to the courtyard to be leaked to carry out the pointing, and the drum in front of the Wende Hall sounded at about 4:50 o'clock on the fifth watch day (about 4:50 a.m.), which means that the court began to go up. Because the time of the court was too early, many ministers did not sleep the night before the court, but sat on a chair against the wall and pretended to sleep after arriving at the courtyard.

The Song Dynasty capital was complained by many literati and writers, the famous poet Ouyang Xiu once wrote, "Lying down listening to the sound of the bamboo house, but remembering when Chuzhou slept enough", he compared the present with the time when he was too punctual in Chuzhou, saying that the court is too tired now, and he is not as happy as when he was an official in Chuzhou.

Wu Zhi has long been tired of this black-and-white reversal of the biological clock when it is completely disrupted, and he hates it.

Zhao Xu thought about it for a long time, and discussed it many times with the prime ministers such as Zhang Chun, Zeng Bu, An Tao and Huang Lu, and finally adopted Wu Zhi's proposal, changing the morning court every three days to the morning court every five days, and the time of the upper court was also changed to start from seven o'clock (the first quarter of the morning hour), and the time of the o'clock was changed to six o'clock and forty-five minutes (that is, the third quarter of the day).

Left and right. After the reform, the time of the previous dynasty was delayed by more than two hours earlier than before! The duty hours for all officials have also been changed to start at 7 a.m. and end at 4 p.m.

In the previous early dynasty, everyone needed to get up at about two o'clock in the morning, not only the civil and military officials worked hard, but the emperor Zhao Xu was also miserable. But because of the ancestral legal system, no one dared to propose reform except Wang Anshi. Now that Wu Zhitou is very iron-headed, and he is bold enough to mention it, Zhao Xu and everyone are happy. Although Zhao Xu and everyone reprimanded Wu Zhi for not obeying the laws of their ancestors in public, they were actually happy in their hearts, thank God!

Zhou Tong is not a court counselor, so he generally does not need to go to the court on weekdays except for the big court meeting, which is relatively relaxed, and Wu Zhi is very envious.

Wu Zhi was quite satisfied with the result agreed upon by Zhao Xu and the imperial court, and in the future, he would not have to get up in the dark at more than two o'clock in the morning, not to mention that he did not have enough time to sleep, and it was easy to hurt his body.

The Hou Mansion is relatively close to the right door, and it takes less than a cup of tea to get there by carriage, so every day, Wu Zhi almost gets up at about 5:45 (that is, 3 o'clock), goes to the toilet, washes, eats breakfast, and arrives at the right door at about 6:40, and then takes three or four minutes to walk to the point room (to be leaked) to point Mao, and the time is just right. And once every five days, Wu Zhi suddenly felt much more relaxed than when he went to the morning court before.

Zhao Xu and the civil and military officials are not so hard, sweeping away the sleepy and sluggish appearance when they used to go to the early court, they are a hundred times more energetic, and the efficiency of the early court's deliberations and decision-making has also improved a lot, and many times they don't have to wait for the first moment to end the topic early, and they can disperse the court early, and everyone did not doze off anymore when they returned to their respective jobs. Everyone was refreshed, and the work efficiency naturally increased several times.

A small reform can have such an amazing effect! Even Zhao Xu, all the civil and military officials couldn't help but be impressed by Wu Zhi again and were impressed by his wisdom.
