- Beijing, as the new year is approaching, the entire capital is gradually entering a sea of ??celebration.
Major factories, workshops, commercial banks, etc. began to pay annual wages and year-end bonuses one after another. After receiving the income they had worked hard for a year, everyone's faces were naturally filled with smiles.
With a bulging pocket, you will inevitably feel more confident when you go out.
Merchants in the capital also saw this opportunity. At the end of the year, they decorated their stores very festively and also launched year-end promotions.
The streets are full of people, and the howling cold wind can't stop everyone's enthusiasm for shopping.
In the palace, in the Jinluan Hall, Emperor Hongzhi is also holding an early morning meeting with his ministers to conduct year-end summary. Seeing that the New Year's holiday is about to take place, the things that should be arranged must be arranged, so that he can celebrate the New Year happily.
Liu Jin looked at Zhu Houzhao, who was standing at the front. This guy never liked going to the morning court, but today he was extremely embarrassed. He was standing there wearing a prince's clothes and attending the morning court seriously. It was really hard to blame him. For To promote his newly developed clock, he actually came to advertise in person.
Well, in the final analysis, this guy is still doing what he likes to do. Going to court in the morning is just an illusion. It¡¯s the same as when he sold mirrors. It¡¯s mainly for advertising and selling his watches.
Liu Jin gently rolled up his sleeves and looked at the watch on his wrist.
This is the latest work of the Ming Dynasty Watch Firm led by Zhu Houzhao - a watch. Well, the watch in Liu Jin's hand can be regarded as the second watch in the Ming Dynasty. The first watch was in the hands of Zhu Houzhao.
There is basically no big difference between the watch on my hand and the watches of later generations. The only difference is that there are four hands on it, and there is an extra hand pointing to the time.
Therefore, this watch can not only tell the time, but also be able to see the time at once, which can be regarded as integrating the characteristics of the Ming Dynasty. In addition, the exterior decoration is also made of auspicious clouds and Ruicai, which lacks the cold feeling of machinery. , with more warm colors.
"It seems that no one is in the mood to go to court early, and they all want to go to court early to take their annual leave."
?Looking at the time, it was just about ten o'clock, but no ministers had come forward to make an announcement.
"If there is something to do, we will start, if there is nothing to do, we will retreat~"
After Li Dongyang reported the duty arrangements of various ministries and yamen at the end of next year, no one came forward for several minutes, and Xiao Jing also shouted loudly at the top of his voice.
After waiting for a few more minutes, no minister came out to announce anything. Xiao Jing and Emperor Hongzhi looked at each other and were about to shout at the top of their voices to withdraw from the court when Zhu Houzhao stood up.
"Father, I have a gift for you."
Zhu Houzhao said seriously.
Hearing Zhu Houzhao's words, Liu Jin's eyes suddenly darkened. Don't say goodbye to the bell. Otherwise, although Emperor Hongzhi is not sick, he will probably be half-dead with anger.
"Oh, what gift does the prince have for me?"
When Emperor Hongzhi heard this, he was slightly surprised. This Zhu Houzhao surprised him even when he came to the morning court today. He actually had a gift to give to him.
"Not only you, the emperor, but I have also prepared a gift for everyone above the third rank in the court."
Zhu Houzhao said pretending to be mysterious.
"The prince also prepared gifts for everyone."
Emperor Hongzhi and the ministers in the court suddenly laughed happily.
"Prince, if you have any gifts, please bring them out immediately. Don't be secretive."
Emperor Hongzhi looked at Zhu Houzhao lovingly. Seeing that Zhu Houzhao was about to reach adulthood, it was rare that he knew how to give gifts to everyone.
"Everyone, come outside with me first."
Zhu Houzhao still pretended to be very mysterious and took the lead to walk to the square outside Waijinluan Hall.
Emperor Hongzhi and the ministers immediately found it interesting, and they were all guessing what kind of medicine the prince was selling in the gourd.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????: There is nothing to do. Emperor Hongzhi looked at the ministers, nodded, got off the dragon chair and took the lead to walk outside.
The ministers also followed Emperor Hongzhi and soon arrived at the square outside.
At this time, on the tower directly in front of Taihe Square, a drum-tower-like building was covered by a big red cloth.
¡°Well, this is the handiwork of the prince. The only one who can build the bell tower in the palace is Zhu Houzhao. Liu Jin has nothing to do anyway.
"What's inside this gourd, Prince?"??Noon is the boundary, dividing the day into two parts. The upper 12 hours are also six hours, and the lower 12 hours are also six hours. "
"This 1234 corresponds to the hour. For example, it is quarter to four and it is exactly ten o'clock. The clock tower will automatically ring the bell to tell the time."
"In this way, everyone will be able to know the exact time at all times in the future, instead of needing to use hourglasses, clepsydras, etc. to calculate time, which is not accurate enough."
Zhu Houzhao proudly introduced his work to everyone.
Emperor Hongzhi and the ministers listened carefully and looked at the bell tower carefully.
"Thisisn't this amazing?"
¡°It¡¯s really unbelievable that there is such a machine that can calculate time.¡±
¡°Incredible~¡±
The ministers all showed surprised expressions.
To be honest, everyone really didn¡¯t have a deep idea about this aspect before. That is to say, they try to come as early as possible for morning service every day. Other than that, they just look at the sun in the sky and roughly know what time it is.
But now, the clock tower built by Zhu Houzhao can accurately tell you what time it is, how many minutes it is, and what time it is. This is very remarkable.
