Chapter 717: Like a clock and a watch for a changing room
"It was snowing, and the sun rose in the morning, and it was actually minus six degrees, cold, and the skin on the back of my hand was wrinkled."
There was light snow in the solar terms of heavy snow, and there was heating in the houses of the Imperial City, but there was no outside.
Zhu Yuanzhang led a group of important ministers and generals to Xiaqiu Village to pick up watches, last year's heavy snow and light snow solar terms were the same, and there was no holiday.
There are few things to do this year, so I can let them go.
It was the same two days, and Hugh Mu moved it back to tomorrow, November 15, and today November 14.
Officials and generals reported to the imperial city early in the morning and entered Xiaqiu Village with Zhu Yuanzhang.
The main generals who went to the war were eight people, plus twenty-one people from the six Shangshu and Chen Ning and Zeng Lu, as well as Wei Su and Liu Bowen.
There are twenty-nine people in this year's six books, but Zhu Yuanzhang is ready to adjust, leaving only twenty-one people, and the remaining eight people will not be given watches.
Each watch has a number, one is 'written' on the outside, and two of the same number are written on the inside.
If you are dismissed, you must hand over your watch, and in the case of 'honorary retirement', keep it and hand it in when you die, unless the other person's child has a good interest, and pass it on to his son.
It is rare for Nanjing to be so cold, minus 11 degrees this morning, and minus 6 degrees after the sun comes out.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the back of his hand, obviously wrinkled by the freeze.
Zhu Biao and Zhu Fan don't care, the two of them put their hands in their pockets, what is minus six degrees? The coldest time there is more than 40 degrees below zero.
When it is time to go out, you still have to go out, wear thick clothes, wear a dogskin hat, your nose is red from the cold, and ice hangs on your eyelashes.
Then I stayed outside for an hour and started to freeze my feet, and I had to keep stomping my feet.
The freshly caught fish from the river jumped up to five feet high, and when it was in the air, it flicked its tail and landed twice.
"Your Majesty, come into the house." The captain led the way.
When we went into a glass house without lead oxide, we felt much more comfortable, there was heating, and it didn't matter how many degrees below zero outside, it was minus 25 degrees in the house.
Everyone sat down according to their identities, the palace maid brought tea and snacks, the person who received the watch did not eat, and Zhu Yuanzhang and others did not eat.
"Zhu Qing made a seal to prove the leader, you can put the watch back on, and take something with you, and if you feel tired and want to leave after lunch, you will stay."
Zhu Yuanzhang raised his arm, looked at the watch on his wrist, and nodded to the others.
The ministers have been accustomed to it, since the fourth day of Xiaoxue, I have seen that His Majesty always raises his hand to look at the watch, and the watch is accurate, and there is no need to adjust it.
I didn't get that watch, saying that I needed to proofread with Zhong Lai every day when I went to court in the future.
"Actually, you don't have to go to the front of the clock to calibrate, such as our sister's and the concubine's watch, the sister's daily is two minutes faster, the concubine's is two minutes slower, and the time is almost the same, just adjust it. Hey, hey, hey! ”
Zhu Yuanzhang comforted a group of people, Queen Ma's watch was two minutes faster in one day and one night, and Sun Guifei's was two minutes slower, and she usually proofread it after getting up in the morning.
So what's right? When you get up in the morning, a watch is slowed down by two minutes, and a watch is adjusted by two minutes.
Everyone nodded, yes, but the school still has to be proofread, and it's okay for a while.
It's not all accurate.,It's okay to deviate a little.,Maybe you can make it up later.,Anyway, you can know the approximate time.。
The officials and generals looked at each other, and none of them said that they wanted to take their things and leave.
Because taking things is a benefit given by the solar terms, if you have lunch and then leave, you will bring lunch to your family, you can eat faster, and then carry the food box home.
When the family came out, they had already told that if they didn't return at noon, they would wait, eat later in the afternoon, and bring back the food from Xiaqiu Village by themselves.
In the whole Ming Dynasty, there is no place where the food is better than Xiaqiu Village, and other places can spend money to buy, and Xiaqiu Village can only look at opportunities.
The food in Fuhualou is expensive, give enough money, and let it be delivered to your home is no problem, who in Xiaqiu Village dares to ask them to deliver food? Nade Palace.
"Your Majesty, what do you have for lunch in Xiaqiu Village? If it is not good, the minister will go back first. Zeng Lu is smarter, ask first.
"It's a long time." How does Zhu Yuanzhang know! He asked the lieutenant.
"Your Majesty, the temperature has dropped, some cattle have died, and the village bought them, and there are dishes for the whole beef banquet such as sauced beef beef, toothpick beef, beef balls, stir-fried beef, cold beef hoof tendons, fried beef with green onions, and beef bone marrow." The lieutenant replied.
"Your Majesty, the minister is waiting to eat." Zeng Lu was shameless at all, and after hearing the dishes, he decided to take it home.
The other ministers nodded one after another, all cow feast! Take it home, and the family promises to be happy.
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't say anything, he got used to it, this group of things, as if he hadn't eaten before.
Something is delivered, the box is opened, and a bunch of tables are revealed inside? Bell?
"Yichang, so big, where is the right place to wear it?" Zhu Yuanzhang picked up an alarm watch, or an alarm clock, and found it inconvenient to carry.
"Your Majesty, this is an alarm clock, prepared for the watchman, put it in the changing room, and try it out in Yingtianfu, Ningguo Mansion, and Taiping Mansion first. I'm afraid that someone will steal and rob. ”
The governor introduces the application place of things, and it is hard to beat the people, and if there is nothing to do during the day, it is okay, sleep, and get up at night.
Is there something to do during the day? What should I do if I can't wake up at night? Under normal circumstances, it is possible to change shifts, but it is actually uncomfortable to change to anyone.
The clock can tell the time, and the alarm watch is fine, but the movement is louder, noisier, and purely mechanical.
"Steal? Rob? Sneak it up yourself? I'm worried all day long, I can't ship it overseas, there are more things in the room, and the candles are boxes and boxes, why doesn't anyone steal them? ”
Zhu Yuanzhang doesn't care, there are hourglasses, candles, incense sticks, and water leaks in the room, which one is not worth it? Who would dare to touch this?
In fact, there is not one person in the changing room, the changing husband has to go out at the same time at the same time, and each person is responsible for one side, and there are those left behind, such as apprentices.
And the one who fights the watch may not be alone, there are those who come out with apprentices, and someone has to pick up the lamp.
Who doesn't know the dangers of walking alone at night? It's normal to have a companion.
"In that case, use it for the changing room." It doesn't matter if it's long.
Then another box was brought up, this time one by one, a beautiful wooden box, with varnish on the outside, and when the box was opened it was satin, and a watch was in that groove.
As soon as the ministers saw this, they immediately smiled, beautiful!
Zhu Yuanzhang recalled: "The watch on our wrist was sent by the prince, and there is nothing wow!" ”
He picked up a normal watch and said, "Look at how good this watch is, what's in our watch?" ”
Everyone: "......"
Other people's watches have three hands, the hour, minute, and second hands, and the background behind them, or the bottom plate, is white.
Zhu Yuanzhang's watch has a gear structure and a tourbillon! The key has a date.
"Your Majesty, since you don't like it, why don't we change ......" Tang He wanted to exchange the tourbillon for an ordinary watch that he didn't have.
"Who are you with, with the two of us? When you said that we were the two of us, you hurt us to go back and be beaten by Liu De, and you wanted to hurt us again? Zhu Yuanzhang didn't wait for the other party to finish speaking, and went back.
"The minister knows what is wrong!" Tang He apologized, but his tone was not sincere.
Zhu Wentian wanted to laugh next to him, that is, Tang He dared to talk like this, and he played with Zhu Yuanzhang since he was a child.
So when he fought Xia Guo in Sichuan, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't scold anyone else, so he scolded Tang He and delayed things.
And then in history, Tang He lost the fight, and it didn't go well.
