The wooden door below the clock tower was open, and several men dressed in coarse cloth came out of the bell tower. The first person was the old man Ren Baqian had seen, Zhang Junzheng's elder, and now the leader of the Zhang family in Lancheng.

He first stepped forward and bowed his hand to everyone: "I have seen Your Majesty, I have seen your Excellency." ”

"Adjustments are complete?" asked Ren Baqian as he stepped forward.

The excited expressions on the faces of the old man and the people behind him, which were originally suppressed, completely bloomed at this time, and everyone's faces were full of red light: "Lord Ren, everything is ready, in another quarter of an hour, the first bell will ring!"

Although the drawings of this bell tower were taken out by Ren Baqian, the dial on it and the mechanical structure inside were completely completed by their Zhang family.

For this bell tower to appear in the world, it is also a great glory for their Zhang family.

As long as this bell tower is still in place, the name of the Zhang family will be remembered for a day.

Even if this bell tower is gone, the name of the Zhang family is absolutely indispensable when the bell tower and table clock are mentioned in the history books in the future.

The name goes down in history, and it has been reached, how can they be excited?

At this time, the Zhang family was really impressed by Ren Baqian, and everything that Ren Baqian took out could make their Zhang family's craftsmen gain something from it, and they could gain a huge reputation.

It is really not a loss to do things with such people.

"Just don't make any mistakes. Ren Baqian reminded.

"Lord Ren rest assured, we have simulated it in the house many times before, the bell tower has been inspected since yesterday, there is no problem, the old man dares to vouch for it. The old man said.

"Keep your head, it's always dead, it's not as important as your head. Ren Baqian shook his head and said.

The master craftsmen of this world are also scarce talents.

"Thank you, Lord Ren. The old man is confident. The old man smiled slightly, Ren Baqian's words also made him feel warm in his heart, after all, it felt good to be valued. Especially the other party is still a master in this area.

It seems that the whole family is going to Da Yao, and this step is not bad.

"Count the time, remind me when you have a cup of tea. "Ren 8000.

"Don't worry, sir. The old man looked up at the sun, and then took out an hourglass and held it in his palm.

Taking advantage of this time, others are also looking at this colorful clock tower, the stone decoration on the surface makes this clock tower a little different from the rough style that Da Yao has always had, but it reflects various colors of light in the sun, it is a dreamlike color.

"Does Your Majesty like it?" asked Ren Baqian leaning into the empress's ear.

"Not bad. The empress nodded slightly. "I will build one in the palace as well. ”

"It's better to build another observatory on top of the bell tower, and the minister can accompany His Majesty to look at the stars on it at night. ”

"Observatory?" the Empress asked, turning her head.

"A place to look at the stars. ”

"The roof will do. ”

"The observatory can also put an astronomical telescope to see the starry sky even more beautifully. Your Majesty hasn't seen it with an astronomical telescope yet! An astronomical telescope can bring the starry sky a hundredfold or a thousand times closer. Ren Baqian said with a smile. "Wouldn't it be nice to have a drink under the stars and enjoy the view of the night sky?"

The empress was a little moved when she heard this. "Then I want to see it. Remember, it's prettier than this!"

"Okay!" Ren Baqian felt the countless murderous eyes around him, and smiled softly in the empress's ear.

The eyes of these guys were like needles, and Ren Baqian felt that his back was about to be pierced with countless holes.

This is my wife, you bite me?

I'm going to talk to each other right in front of your eyes!

Ren Baqian simply didn't retract his head, but instead put his lips close to the empress's ear, as if he put his head on the empress's shoulder, and there were many people around him who had fire in their eyes.

Although I have long known that His Majesty has chosen a husband, and I have seen him more than once, I am still very angry when I see this scene.

"What are you doing?" the empress asked with a frown noticing Ren Baqian's strange behavior.

"A lot of people are envious of me and jealous of me...... I have to give them a chance to envy, envy and hate!" Ren Baqian smiled.

"Boring!"

"Your Excellency, the time is almost up. There was also a cup of tea, and it was past four o'clock in the afternoon. ”

"Your Majesty, in a moment, Your Majesty will uncover the red cloth on it. "Ren 8000. "It's better to pinch the moment before the bell rings. ”

"Good. ”

"Just pull this rope down. Ren Baqian pointed to a thin rope hanging down next to him.

"No, you don't. The empress didn't even look at the rope, calculated the time in her heart, and then tapped her feet on the ground, and the whole person rose into the air like a red cloud, and as she swept over the clock dial, the circle of red cloth was also pulled into the sky with the empress's figure.

The gold-toned dial, made entirely of brass, is fully exposed to the public, giving off a golden sheen in the sun.

"Bell-" The melodious bell also rang at the right time, as if the moment when the empress unveiled the red cloth opened the prelude.

Twelve bells rang in a row, melodiously floating through the city, one after the other, like notes falling from the sky. Coupled with the golden glossy dial, it gives people a divine feeling for a while, which amazes everyone.

Whether it was the Sheriff officials who maintained order, the civilians around them, and even the people in other corners of Arashi, they all looked up at this place following the bell at this time, and there was an expression of amazement on their faces.

Even if the empress stood at the top of the bell tower, the red figure was covered by something else for the first time.

"It's the so-called clock tower, it's used to keep time, isn't it? Tong Zhenye sighed below.

"In the future, you don't have to look at the rules of the day, as long as you are in Lancheng, you can see the bell tower when you look up, and you will know the time. It can be seen whether it is windy or rainy, day or night. There are also braziers on either side of the bell dial in each direction, which can be lit at night to illuminate them. Ren Baqian said.

"The old man really wants the people of Great Xia and Yunguo to come and see it, and ask them if they can make this thing?" Tong Zhenye laughed, he was looking forward to the reaction of someone who came to Lancheng and saw this bell tower in the future.

"There is nothing in Great Xia and Yunguo, this is the only one in this world. The old man of the Zhang family said while stroking his beard.

"But when they saw it, it would take them a few years or more to figure it out. ”

"It doesn't matter, by the time they figure it out, we'll have something better. "Ren 8000.

"Then it's up to Lord Ren. Tong Zhenye said with some regret. "In fact, the Ministry of Industry is the most suitable for Mr. Ren, but unfortunately Mr. Ren has always been reluctant to join the Ministry of Labor. ”

......

Throughout the afternoon, countless people near the bell tower looked up to study how the thing turned, and cheered with the chimes of each hour.

Most people thought that there must be a few people in the bell tower who kept turning the hands on it.

In the evening, the crowd began to disperse.

When night falls, half-foot-high flames rise from the braziers on both sides of the bell tower and dial, illuminating the entire bell dial.

The people of the city, who had been amazed for a day, were once again amazed by the bell tower in the night.

Many of the scattered people returned to the bottom of the bell tower to look up at the light of the night.

For half a month, the people of Lancheng, who were idle and had nothing to do to beat their children and applaud their love, became sitting in the courtyard and looking up at the bell tower in the distance to chat after nightfall, beating the children by the way, and then going back to the house to applaud love.

While the people of Arashiki were still immersed in this new thing, the students in the school had already begun to prepare to move the steam train to the circular railroad tracks outside the city for a trial run.
