"It is impossible to learn."
"I'm rushing to graduate just so I don't have to continue studying..."
Zhudi Lan left her mother's palace as if she was running away on purpose, and took the tram back to Chunhe Palace.
Chunhe Palace was the name of the original crown prince's palace. After the Renwu Dynasty, it became the name of the palace where minor princes lived collectively.
The prince began to receive his salary at the age of twelve and moved to the courtyard of Chunhe Palace to live independently.
At the age of sixteen, he left the palace to live and take concubines.
If you graduate before the age of sixteen, you will skip the stage of leaving the palace and taking concubines, and go directly to the local area for practical training.
Zhudi Lan is not yet fifteen years old and still lives in Chunhe Palace.
When Judy Lan got out of the car and entered the door, she asked the female officer the current time:
"What time is it now, Sister Xu?"
Now no one in the Ming Dynasty can use slaves anymore, and even those who work in the palace are hired.
The royal consortium formed a company to recruit and dispatch these employees.
There are three types of employees in the palace.
The largest number are ordinary workers, responsible for various chores in the palace.
Due to the popularization of various household appliances and machinery, the palace no longer needs a large number of hands to do manual labor.
There are washing machines for washing clothes, dishwashers for washing dishes, and bathrooms are also mechanized.
Their main job is cleaning.
Then there are full-time staff such as chefs, doctors, and drivers, and various technical staff such as electricians and plumbers.
Finally, there are the life secretaries of the concubines and princes.
Since they are all workers of the royal consortium, they are treated in the same way as workers of the royal consortium, and they have the best welfare conditions.
It is also built according to standards, so you can leave the palace during your vacation.
You can get married and have children outside the palace without affecting your continued work inside the palace.
At the same time, child labor is no longer used, and one must be at least sixteen years old to enter the palace.
Usually it starts at around the age of twenty, and you can work in the palace until retirement.
Zhudi Lan's secretary is Xu Wenyan, a 24-year-old female college student. When she heard Zhudi Lan's return, she immediately came out.
"Back to Your Highness, it's still five minutes before ten o'clock."
As Judy Lan walked to her room, she continued to ask Xu Wenyan beside her:
"Have you turned on the machine for me?"
Xu Wenyan immediately said:
"Everything is ready according to His Highness's instructions. His Highness seems to be in a good mood. The exam should go well."
Judy Lan entered her special computer room:
"Simple, I just took the exam because I knew it would go well."
Sitting in front of his workbench, Judy Lan operated the mouse to directly open the "Internet Entertainment Market".
Find an icon called "Prehistoric World" from your collection.
It’s just today that the new “Sim World” is officially released.
"Simulation World" is the official name and classification of this type of program.
It wasn't called a game in the first place.
What people in the Ming Dynasty call "computer games" are usually "games" that exist in reality.
For example, various sports competitive games such as table tennis, basketball, and football, as well as kettle, chess, go entertainment and chess games.
And the content and game mode are relatively simple, with various mini-games purely for entertainment purposes.
For example, pure fighting, shooting, and driving games.
In the perception of Ming people, the nature of the large-scale simulated world is closer to popular literary and artistic works such as movies, calligraphy and painting, music, and opera.
Or a higher-end literary and artistic work.
The status of the simulated world in society is much higher than that of video games in Zhu Jingyuan's previous life.
Under the most general category of simulated world, there are many sub-categories such as history, fantasy, science fiction, military, martial arts, reality, etc.
The most popular of these are fantasy and history.
This fantasy classification is not a starting point fantasy classification, and has basically nothing to do with the legends of knights and magicians in the West.
A simulated world where all contents are completely virtual is considered a fantasy category in Ming Dynasty.
Judy Lan's collection of this prehistoric world belongs to fantasy.
The content is designed based on the styles of traditional legends and monsters such as Journey to the West, Fengshen Bang, and Classic of Mountains and Seas.
Judy Plutonium, the leader of Ming Dynasty's simulation world industry, was initially directly influenced by Zhu Jingyuan and focused specifically on the simulation of human-computer interaction.
This also directly influenced and even led Ming Dynasty’s simulation world development concept.
Most developers believe that since it is named after a simulation world, its setting should be as reasonable as possible.
The world should also be able to be influenced by users, that is, relatively reasonable and targeted changes should be made based on the user's operations in the simulated world.
The highest goal of developing this kind of simulated world is to give users more and more options and degrees of freedom.
This model naturally targets a single person or a small number of operators.
However, under Zhu Jingyuan's reminder, the simulated world development circle led by Zhu Zhudi also did not give up the Internet model.
It's just that the Internet mode is usually an extension of the local mode.
The large-scale simulation world of Ming Dynasty is basically based on the fantasy simulation mode, with modes for online cooperation or competition.
Ming players take it for granted that playing alone in a fantasy simulation world is not playing a game.
However, it is a game if multiple people compete according to the rules.
Just like a person drinking and writing poems is not a game, but several people drinking and writing poems together is a game.
But society also doesn’t think there’s anything bad about “games”.
Just like reading a book or listening to a play.
The prehistoric world is also a simulated world in this form.
It will be officially released at 10 o'clock this morning, and the Internet interactive server will be opened at the same time.
As a large-scale three-dimensional fantasy simulation world, the price of the prehistoric world is also the highest in the entire market, with the initial price being 12 silver notes.
If in the world of Zhu Jingyuan's previous life, a game cost a thousand yuan, players would definitely find it outrageous.
But the definition of this simulated world itself is not a game.
The audience is different from previous games.
They are not students from the East or working-class people from Europe and America at all, but social elites...
Just like those games of drinking, composing poems, and drinking Qushui, they were originally forms of entertainment that only the social elite could afford and knew how to play.
Under the simulated world, the prices of those electronic games that people in the Ming Dynasty thought were much lower.
Those that can be sold for three silver notes are all very high, and many of them only have one silver note.
Since the prices are so high and they are aimed at the elite, these simulated worlds are all big productions.
Judy Lan already pre-downloaded the content yesterday.
Now I am sitting on a chair chatting with Xu Wenyan, waiting for the countdown of more than three minutes to end, and I immediately click to start the prehistoric world.
The first thing that jumped out was the name of the development company, "Da Ming Fantasy Simulation Company".
Next up is a video.
Judy Plutonium and the entire production staff of The Wilderness World left the country together.
A total of more than 300 people, all wearing very serious formal attire, stood in a spacious and bright hall, as if holding a grand press conference.
What they actually do is very simple.
The people in charge of programming, graphics, music, dubbing, screenwriting and other aspects introduced themselves in turn.
Finally, the editor-in-chief in charge of the plot stood up alone and explained very seriously that everyone present was the producer of this prehistoric simulated world.
Users are reminded that the contents of this simulated world are completely fictitious and users should not substitute the contents of the simulated world into reality.
Judy Lan has seen this scene countless times, and every time she sees it, she can't help but want to complain.
When various simulated worlds are opened, a warning screen like this is displayed directly, which greatly affects the sense of immersion.
But this link was personally requested by his father, and no one can change it.
Judy Lan could only wait patiently for this scene to finish.
When the opening animation of the prehistoric world itself finally came out, Judy Lan was immediately visibly amazed.
Nowadays, Ming Dynasty’s computer hardware is updated very quickly.
Dagong's main hardware performance in the past 20 years has already reached the level of Zhu Jingyuan's previous life in 2011.
The large-scale three-dimensional simulation world is aimed at the elite class, and the target machine for development is not the mid-to-low-end mainstream hardware, but the high-end computers of the past two years.
So the picture shown now is very exquisite.
After the game animation is played, the initial setting interface comes out, automatically recognizes Judy Lan's computer hardware, and automatically sets the picture level to "upper-middle".
Judy Lan was a little surprised and manually changed the screen setting to full height, but immediately felt a bit stuck.
The frame rate displayed on the settings interface has dropped to the early thirties.
Judy Lan once again brought the screen settings back to the upper middle. Seeing that the frame rate returned to more than 40, she couldn't help but mutter in her heart:
"Second Brother, is this designed according to this year's latest top-of-the-line computers?
“My top-end version a year ago only had mid-to-upper-level graphics, but it couldn’t even reach 60 frames.
"A year ago...actually it was a year later, which can be counted as two years, and it was indeed time to change the computer.
“It’s just after the Chinese New Year that we have to go on training. It’s impossible for the lower-level yamen to be equipped with the best computers, so we have to bring two of them ourselves.
"One set is for the office, and one set is for the bedroom...residence..."
Zhudi Lan subconsciously wanted Xu Wenyan to call and order two computers, but when the words came to her mouth, she changed her mind:
"Sister Xu, I am going to leave the palace in the afternoon and go to the semiconductor and computer market. You go and prepare some cash, just take out a thousand silver notes.
"My father asked me to understand the lives of ordinary people. I will start to understand from today. I will also buy some things for next year's training."
After the prince reaches the age of twelve, he can leave the palace for activities at any time, but he must be followed closely by a secretary and bodyguard.
After graduation, I had more freedom because I was going to work elsewhere.
After hearing this, Xu Wenyan hesitated, feeling that what Zhudi Lan wanted to do was not as simple as he said.
For normal large expenses, you can pay directly with your bank card. There is no need to bring large amounts of cash with you.
However, Xu Wenyan was just a life secretary, not a disciplinarian who taught the prince how to live.
Taking money out of the palace itself is a normal thing. His Highness also directly explained the whereabouts to facilitate his recording and arrangements.
With some curiosity in her heart, Xu Wenyan promised as seriously as usual:
"Okay, Your Highness, I will prepare now."
Xu Wenyan opened her work computer, opened the palace life management system of Zongren Mansion, and filled out a form in the prince's schedule.
The main thing is to write down where the prince is going and what he is going to do.
Unless there are special circumstances for the prince, this kind of itinerary does not require special approval from anyone, just simply write it down.
Xu Wenyan wrote out the itinerary and printed it out, as well as a cash application form.
He asked Zhudie Lan to sign, then went to the bank in the palace and withdrew a thousand silver notes in cash from Zhudie Lan's account.
Judy Lan continued to play the game for an hour, and then was reminded by Xu Wenyan who came back to rest for twenty minutes before continuing.
After lunch, Judy Lan took a rest for an hour, got up, washed and changed into casual clothes.
Let Xu Wenyan and the four guards also change into casual clothes.
A group of six people left the palace in a car and walked southwest along the mainland in the center of the city.
The largest semiconductor and computer market in Yingtianfu is located by the river southeast of the semiconductor factory that first incubated the semiconductor industry.
The computer industrial park of Daming New Industry Group is further south by the river.
The area at the junction of Jiangpu County and Hezhou is the largest computer industry center and trading center in the Ming Dynasty and even in the world.
Whether it is the bulk trading area for wholesale products to other places or the retail market for locals, it is usually very busy.
Now that the end of the year is here again, many people are starting to buy special New Year goods, and the retail market is even more crowded.
After twenty years of guidance from the Ming Dynasty, the New Year of the Ming Dynasty has actually been moved to the first day of the new calendar.
Judy Lan asked the driver to drive the car into the retail market for computer products.
I found a parking lot and stopped.
Ming Dynasty's new urban planning had Zhu Jingyuan's direct participation and intervention, and he was prescient in many places.
The comprehensive pipeline system of Yingtianfu New City is one of them.
The second is the huge public parking lots that are everywhere in all new cities in the world.
The third is the lanes set aside for mopeds, electric vehicles, and bicycles on roads in and near cities.
There was no shortage of land in the Ming Dynasty, and they also restricted building heights, floor area ratios and building distances.
In addition to commercial office buildings and apartment dormitories, most people tend to live in separate courtyards.
Living alone in the suburbs requires a car, so there must be enough parking lots.
Judy Lan got out of the car with her secretary and escort, which attracted a little attention from the people around her.
Although Judy Lan and the others were wearing casual clothes, there were also different levels of casual clothes.
The key is that the five people around Judy Lan are obviously followers.
In addition, although Judy Lan's license plate is not special, it was specifically requested by Zhu Jingyuan.
But the cars themselves are the best today.
Therefore, at first glance, you can tell that Zhu Di Lan is a typical rich man, probably from a noble family.
But this is Yingtian Mansion after all. There are nobles and officials everywhere in the capital, and there are countless wealthy businessmen and bosses.
Ordinary people will be aware of Judy Lan's identity when they see him, but they won't have much reaction because of it.
Judy Lan walked out slowly, observing the buildings and people on the street.
There are fewer and fewer traditional decorations in commercial buildings.
Because commercial buildings pursue maximizing profits.
The complex exterior decoration of traditional buildings is unnecessary expense.
Therefore, the newer a private building is, the simpler its exterior shape and design will be.
Zhu Dilan knows that there are many people criticizing in newspapers and on the Internet, saying that the world is now full of slab buildings built by businessmen.
This means that these buildings are simply like a board.
However, the contrast is very strong. Whether officials or wealthy businessmen build their own courtyards, most of them are very traditional.
Maybe it’s because the house at home is originally used for living, and it is considered that money should be spent to make it better and more comfortable.
Ordinary people's houses were originally very simple, even mainly made of brick walls and adobe. Nowadays, they follow the wealthy class and build more styles.
Complementing the house is the change in the clothes of ordinary people.
After the income of ordinary workers and clerks increased, many people began to imitate the wealthy class in the past and purchased traditional silk clothes.
With higher incomes, they can even afford to wear such clothes on a daily basis.
There was a time when people, no matter what kind of work they did, wore complicated robes at work.
But in recent years, this tendency seems to have waxed and waned.
Ordinary people who put on robes began to simplify the robes by deleting the complicated ones.
Unless they need to keep warm, many people start by wearing a layer of underwear and a coat, as long as it is opaque.
The sleeves of the coat are still narrowing, and the hem is getting shorter and shorter.
The pants that were supposed to be worn underneath became exposed most of the time.
However, it seems to be a violation of the past history. Most people's robes are not shortened to the waist, becoming the short clothes of the past.
Rather, most of them are from thigh to knee length.
There were once educated people who thought it was too inelegant to wear pants directly outside.
Then there was the idea of designing the pants to be extremely loose, making them look like the hem of a robe.
The trouser legs, which look like the hem of a robe, are also slowly narrowing.
In the end, the top and bottom widths were basically the same.
Colors, fabrics, and designs have also continued to evolve, forming outer trousers that are completely different from the inner trousers.
The current image of a Ming Dynasty man is similar to Zhu Jingyuan's windbreaker in his previous life.
However, most of the upper body is cross-collared and tied without buttons.
The lower body is long loose trousers.
But the new generation of children may do it. In the past, everyone in the elders usually wore formal clothes.
It was only later that it became too troublesome and inconvenient for work, so I gradually simplified it.
However, the dresses they wear during festivals and festivals still have the same complex, multi-layered and intricate designs as their homes.
Maybe one aspect is for convenience of work, and the other aspect is for life style.
This book is recommended to readers. It has a background similar to that of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and then has supernatural powers. The protagonist should be a lord who cultivates immortality, and has a cheap sister-in-law at home. The genre is fantasy, but it is a relatively relaxed style. After reading a few chapters, I feel good. If you are interested, you can add it to your collection.
