These officials in the court do not lack money, but what they lack is spiritual comfort.
Therefore, Li Ke had to comfort their spirits at all times. This was not only a spur to them, but also an encouragement to them, and it was also an expectation for them.
In order to ensure that most of the officials would be in the official office tomorrow, Li Ke naturally sent someone to notify him first. As soon as Li Ke informed Li Shimin, he would naturally know about it, because the first person to notify must be Li Shimin.
"Li Ke said he wanted to bring warmth to all the officials?" Li Shimin looked at Chang Lin and asked.
"Yes." Chang Lin bowed and saluted seriously.
"Did you say you gave me something?" Li Shimin asked.
"I don't know, His Highness just said that all officials who have no urgent business tomorrow will go to the government office." Chang Lin said, "Your Majesty, are you going to visit tomorrow?"
"Did he let me go?" Li Shimin asked.
Chang Lin: "..."
No, Your Majesty, you are asking this. You are Your Majesty in this Tang Dynasty. Who dares to give up to you? How do you want me to answer this?
"I won't go if he doesn't tell me. I don't think it's a good thing." Li Shimin shook his head, he understood very well. "Just pretend I don't know about this."
"Yes." What else can Chang Lin say, just pretend you don't know? Your Majesty, Your Highness the King of Qin, is the first one to start the memorial. Do you still know? Isn’t this self-deception?
Li Shimin thought about it for a moment, and then said again: "Go and call Chu Suiliang over."
"yes."
Chu Suiliang soon arrived at Liangyi Palace. After meeting Li Shimin, Li Shimin said: "Chu Suiliang, after His Highness the King of Qin goes to the three provinces tomorrow, you will send two historians to follow him all the way. Everything that His Highness the King of Qin does will be recorded. , if there are not enough historians, you can add a few more."
"Yes." Chu Suiliang was a little strange, but he agreed directly. He had just received a notification from Li Ke. Although he didn't know what sending warmth meant, it should be a good thing.
"Remember, all actions at the scene must be recorded for me." Li Shimin said.
"Yes." Chu Suiliang agreed.
After letting Chu Suiliang leave, Li Shimin snorted coldly. I don't have to go to the scene, but I can read the written records. It's a pity. If Wei Zheng hadn't been watching, I would have sent a group of young eunuchs to spread the word and listen to the reactions directly. .
Let's see what trouble Li Ke is going to do again.
Of course, Li Ke couldn't know about Li Shimin's tricks, but if he knew about it, he could only be speechless and couldn't say anything.
The clock factory has produced a total of thirty pendulum clocks, and the production process has not stopped now. They can probably produce three pendulum clocks at the same time, because it is basically an assembly line operation, so it means that three pendulum clocks can be completed every day. The making of a pendulum clock.
In fact, the production of parts is very simple, but the assembly is more troublesome, and assembly requires craftsmen who have reached a certain level, not ordinary craftsmen.
The parts inside need to be fine-tuned during assembly.
Therefore, the production speed depends on the assembly speed, so there is no way to make it faster.
For example, the engraving of the shell, the materials, and the dial can all be made separately, so there is no difficulty.
The next day, Li Ke early put the thirty pendulum clocks prepared by the clock factory on the prepared four-wheeled carriage. Because the main official roads near Chang'an City had been turned into concrete roads, Li Ke also built A lot of four-wheeled carriages were used to pull goods, because the four-wheeled carriages were more stable, the size of the carriages could be larger, and the single-time carrying capacity would naturally be stronger.
Although two-wheeled carriages are more labor-saving (this is different from me, the weight of carriages is the same, and the same weight of goods is pulled, two-wheeled carriages are more labor-saving than four-wheeled ones. Friends in rural areas must have such experience. Two-wheeled carriages are placed on the ground. , when there is no horse, when you get up from the back, when the front is tilted, at a certain position, even if you don't push forward, the two-wheeled carriage will go forward by itself. This is because part of the gravity is converted into forward force. , you try a four-wheeled carriage, not to mention the friction of four tires, etc.)
However, it is inferior to the four-wheeled carriage in terms of stability and single transportation volume. Therefore, when the road is flat, the four-wheeled carriage is better from the overall work efficiency.
For example, for the same transportation of 2 tons of goods, a four-wheeled carriage needs to be transported once, while a two-wheeled carriage needs to be transported twice. Naturally, the four-wheeled carriage is the better choice.
After pulling the things and related craftsmen into the palace, Li Ke went straight to the Yamen where the three provinces were located.
The three provinces are located in the Imperial City, distributed on both sides of Chengtian Street from Chengtian Gate to Zhuque Gate. Facing Chengtianmen, the left side of the road is Zhongshu Province, the right side is Menxia Province, and Shangshu Province is on the south side of Menxia Province.
Logically speaking, when Li Ke came in, he should go to Shangshu Province first. After all, there were the most departments here. But when Li Ke came here, he found that these officials were waiting here. Obviously everyone wanted to see what Li Ke was doing. .
"Ha, everyone is here." Li Ke bowed his hands and greeted everyone.
"I have met His Highness King Qin." Everyone was speechless. Isn't this the one you informed us to come over, Your Highness? We're not all here, otherwise what would you do if you got angry, Your Highness?
"Hey, I, Li Ke, have noticed that you all have been working very hard for government affairs recently, so I came here today to give you warmth on my own behalf. Let's go to Zhongshu Province first." Li Ke said with a smile, what does it mean? He didn't say anything about the royal family. These people were not ordinary people.
"I wonder what His Highness is sending you?" Zhongshu Ling Wen Yanbo asked curiously.
Seeing Wen Yanbo, Li Ke's face blossomed with a smile. He walked over and stretched out his hand to shake Wen Yanbo's hand. All the court officials had seen Li Ke's courtesy. Anyway, His Highness the King of Qin always did it. They are all used to some inexplicable etiquette.
Wen Yanbo could only think that this was a sign of closeness, and Wen Yanbo was somewhat confused. In fact, there was not much communication between him and His Highness King Qin.
"Old Wen, there is nothing wrong with your health. You are strong, right?" Li Ke asked happily.
"Thank you, Your Highness. Thanks to His Majesty's service, I went to see Sun Zhenren for a physical examination the year before last year. Before Your Highness left last year, Sun Zhenren also checked his body. He always had food supplement prescriptions, and Your Highness asked the doctors under the Imperial Medical Department to pay more attention to it. My body is very strong." Wen Yanbo said with a smile.
Toughness is good, toughness is good, Li Ke's smile makes him happy, this person is also capable, but historically this person will pass away this year, but now it seems that he should be in good health, and he can still do more for the Tang Dynasty. Work for a few years!
Good thing! All good things!
"This is great! Good health is the blessing of the Tang Dynasty! The blessing of the people!" Li Ke said with emotion, and by the way, he added in his heart that it is also my blessing.
All the ministers around were very moved. After all, His Highness was caring about their health.
"Here, bring the thing over. This is what I have recently developed. I call it a clock. This is called a pendulum clock. It is used to keep time. It can accurately record time! Divide a day into twenty-four hours. Two hours are one hour, one hour is sixty minutes, one minute is sixty seconds.”
"In this way, ministers can work more accurately, eat on time, and take medicine on time if you are sick, so as not to delay your illness. Serving the country and the people is important, but your body is equally important." Li Keyi He said with a serious face.
