In fact, to put it bluntly, there is a set of editor's bells in the magpie's belly. When the time is set, it will just hit it. It is no different from the time of ordinary mechanical clocks and time-on-time. This kind of device is often found on large water leakage instruments, but bells and drums are generally used.

After listening for a while, Mei Xun understood and said to Yan Su: "Swap the bells and drums into chimes and typing a song. Although it is a little simpler, it is much more pleasant. It has taken a lot of effort to make this arrangement."

Yan Su smiled. The carvings that everyone made together were the two in the pavilion, which were just ringing the bells. However, the sounds of these made by Xu Ping later led people were strange.

When the voice passed, Mei Xun asked again: "Yan Waijian, and after ringing the bell, how do you know what time it is?"

Yan Su stepped forward and pointed to the upper part of the carving and said, "Please look at the master. There is a word here, and the twelve hours change at any time. Now here is the word "Chen", which means that the hour of Mao has passed, and now the hour of Chen is."

"Oh, it turns out that this word will change! I didn't pay attention to it just now. Now, how do you look at that moment?"

"Isn't there a line below this word? Here is the moment. From one to a hundred, the line above points to what time it is. When you look at the word "time" and the time below, you will know when it is."

One day and night are divided into twelve hours and one hundred hours. The two cannot be unified, so they should be viewed separately. Since one hundred cannot be divided by twelve, the time and time mentioned are just approximate numbers, and it is still a bit inconvenient to put together.

There is a principle of this division in this way. Time corresponds to the time. Since the length of day and night within a year is inconsistent, the time has a clear reference. Time is fixed and has nothing to do with the time when the sun rises and sets.

Xu Ping wanted to combine the two, but it was not difficult, it was a habit problem. But it was not something he could decide. He had to form a unified understanding and the emperor issued an order. This also involved a large number of records from Si Tianjian, and how to deal with it was also a problem. If you correct it, you would need manpower and material resources. If you don’t change it later, you will cause trouble and be in a dilemma.

The civilization that has been passed down for thousands of years in China has accumulated countless wealth for future generations, but it has also brought burdens to future generations. It feels very simple, and a lot of work is often involved in the subsequent process.

Due to the different timekeeping habits of the present, Xu Ping mainly uses the discs used in the past life, but mainly uses characters and long scales. Only two large-scale verifications in the pavilion, and some obviously high-end ones are attached with discs, and are marked with Chinese characters and Arabic numbers. A circle is still divided into twelve hours, with a small area between each hour, divided into half an hour each, which is equivalent to a twenty-four hour system. The outer circle is the hour, the inner circle is the carving, and the day is divided into one hundred clays, which is clear at a glance.

The general officials do not understand the principles of the internal etching, and the ministers who search for chapters and sentences do not understand even more. What surprised them was the method of etching time. The most precise thing about the previous etching was nothing more than two villains, one hitting the bell and the other hitting the drum, which was far less clear than the current method.

When Zhao Zhen arrived, the sun had already risen high, the fog had dissipated, and the weather began to get hot.

On such days, it is very inconvenient to stay in the house. Everyone is polite and goes directly to the back garden.

Walking into the pavilion, Zhao Zhen looked at the various carvings on both sides, full of interest, listened to Xu Ping's introduction, and nodded continuously.

After sitting in the pavilion, I used tea. After hearing the introduction of Xu Ping and Yan Su, Zhao Zhen, Lu Yijian and other ministers, immediately agreed to send the new style to Sitianjian for verification. The first stage is three months, and I will discuss it later.

With the experience of Yan Su's lotus leaking countless twists and turns, this time it was straightforward. Another reason is that the new style of carving was participated by Chu Yan and the people from Si Tianjian were missing, and the most important opposition force was missing.

After nearly an hour of hustle and bustle, Xu Ping asked his family to prepare a banquet, and Lu Yijian also asked officials to take a look around. At the beginning of the banquet, he must also write poems to record the grand events. Those who rely on their literary talent went out to make drafts first.

In the pavilion, only Zaizhi, Hanlin Bachelor, and Xu Ping who was accompanying him were left.

After saying a few gossips, Zhao Zhen said, "A few days ago, Xu Ping reported that it was a candidate official who had no food and clothing in the capital, and some died of cold and hunger. Moreover, Kaifeng Prefecture also reported that some of the candidate officials had been waiting for a year in the capital. In order to support their families, some went to engage in business affairs, and even officials were servants, which really lost the face of the court. I decided to pay for the treasury money and choose a place to temporarily live in these officials so that they could have food and clothing. However, so many people could not do nothing every day. Xu Ping suggested that it would be better to let them gather together to study and study. Study the laws and regulations, be familiar with officials, and wait until they are not only errands, but they can also serve the court better."

Lu Yijian held the scepter and said, "Your Majesty is kind-hearted, and this is a benevolent policy. The world will praise Your Majesty's holy virtues together!"

Wang Zeng said: "Some of the officials have already arrived these days. But now there is a lack of manpower. Only a few public officials sent by Kaifeng Prefecture to manage this matter, which is a bit messy."

Zhao Zhen nodded: "I also thought of this festival, and this matter needs to be mentioned. Now the affairs of the Three Departments and Regulation Department are not too busy. Shi Quanbin has free time, so he will let him take care of the matter?"

Lu Yijian and Wang Zeng looked at each other, and Lu Yijian said, "Shi Quanbin is a careful and meticulous person, but he is the personal choice. However, he can only manage chores, and everyone there is all officials, but it is not easy for him to take charge of it."

Shi Quanbin is an eunuch. Since it is the inner treasury money issued by the emperor, he can take care of the money and others can't say anything. But it is impossible to say that the officials who are studying there are also under his control, and the two governments cannot pass this level. The internal dynasty cannot predict foreign affairs, and the management of officials is not the eunuch's turn.

Zhao Zhen also understood this in his heart. The two governments would kill the human rights of civil and military officials. The emperor could make the final decision. They would never give up on the power of suggestions and management. Of course, they should take the learning matters in their own hands.

Yan Shu said: "According to my opinion, it is better to have one person from the Court of Justice and the Court of Class 3 to deal with Shi Quanbin and deal with this matter together. Three people discussed it, so that things would not be delayed."

At this time, Di Yi from the Zhijuan Academy, and Shi Zhongli served as the Zhisan Academy. Both of them were Hanlin Bachelor's, but they did not carry the imperial edicts, did not serve in the Bachelor's Academy, nor did they do it in the grass-roots office. They were both in the pavilion at this time.

After hearing Yan Shu's words, Shi Zhongli said, "Where can I send people to the third class courtyard? In such a big courtyard, there are only twenty or thirty of the big and small ones in total, and no one can send any official documents. How can I manage other things?"

Zhang Shixun said dissatisfiedly: "Although there are not many people in Class 3, if you just say that you are so busy that you have no time, no one believes this! As long as you want to draw, you can still draw a few people!"

"No one, no one, the Privy Council should not send people!" Shi Zhongli waved his hands repeatedly, "Besides, the candidates for the military officials in Beijing may not be under the management of Class 3. Since the civil officials are the judges' court, the military officials will also be sent by the Privy Council!"

The four yamen that manage officials and personnel affairs are the most arrogant and the most rules. The public officials in charge of the affairs are the worst at collecting money. Everyone in the officialdom knows this. Anyone who is a Privy Councilor will dislike the third yamen, but unfortunately they can't do anything to those people. Sang Yi was plotted against and had to find Xu Ping in Lingnan.

Seriously speaking, Hemen only wants to be a museum among civil officials. Such an important position, the public officials in Class 3 dare to openly hawk you. As long as you give enough money, you will add one to you, and you will be promoted faster than others from now on.

But the problem is that no matter how you lay off people, you can't stay alone. There are very few public officials in Class 3 now. They simply don't even send official documents, but they are sent to other yamen to pick them up. No one can do anything about it. Knowing that they are cheating, they just can't catch the handle. They are all old fried dough sticks as slippery as loaches. Most of the promotions of low-level military officers are based on capital, and there are many regulations. They can't cut all the old people and replace them with new people. They can only do this.

Shi Zhongli understood this situation better than anyone else. Isn’t this kind of slippery tricks for them to take care of the officials who come to train? Isn’t it a way to collect money for them? I’m afraid that once Class 3 takes it, it will become the biggest fat man. But he is a funny person, never speaks directly, but just tells that there is no one, so it’s hard to expose his family’s misfortune.

Seeing Zhang Shixun's face darkened, Lu Yijian said: "The third class committee really has few staff, so it's better for the Privy Council to send people to care. This is a big deal, so you can't be careless."

Seeing that Lu Yijian said the same thing, Zhang Shixun had to agree.

The candidates were originally low-level officials, and senior officials were directly assigned to the actual lack of qualifications, so they should be in charge of the third class. However, Shi Zhongli was pushing and resisting three times, and knew his character, so he had to let him do it.

As for the details of the person in charge, it is naturally discussed by the relevant yamen, so it is not appropriate to discuss it here. This topic will be stopped and will be arranged by the Political Affairs Hall and the Privy Council.

Zhao Zhen said again: "Now that there is a place, there will be a charter in the future. There is another thing. After these people gathered together, they said they were studying. What exactly did they learn? I wonder if you have any ideas?"

Seeing that everyone was silent, Xu Ping said: "I have an idea, but I don't know if it's right."

"Although I say that today I'm just talking casually without any restrictions."
