Chapter 397 Five Kingdoms

"Sir Edward, the leader of Cromwell, just imprisoned His Majesty King Charles I. I think English should have no time to take care of it." Sir Maxi, a Spanish mission, held an egg-sized porcelain cup and stood by the corridor with another beard. It was drizzling outside.

The bearded Sir Edward smiled: "The East has our interests, and the Cromwell Party leader represents our interests. Besides, the royal party has no power anymore, so how can there be no time to take care of others?"

He finished speaking and said, "I have heard that His Majesty King Philip IV has not had a good time recently. Catalonia is resisting him."

Sir Maxi closed his smile: "This is not a big deal for His Majesty the King."

"Maybe." Sir Edward shrugged.

The two wisely exposed these issues, Maxie changed the subject and said, "Sir Edward, what do you think of the country we are in now?"

"Very good." Sir Edward raised his eyebrows: "This is a wonderful country, isn't it? Sir Maxi." He raised the exquisite porcelain cup between his fingers and said: "Although such cups are small, they are very delicate and beautiful, and the wine is strong, but they are mellow enough. I really want to have one set. If I could bring one back when I return home, I think they would envy me."

"I wish you a blessing to you." Sir Maxi smiled: "It is indeed a wonderful country. Look at this city, there are so many people."

A voice came from behind: "Many. I asked the translator before, and there were 1.2 million people in this Guangzhou city. It has a main city and four satellite cities. It is not worse than London and Madrid."

"Oh, Sir Chirac." Sir Maxi and Sir Edward turned around and raised their glasses to show.

Sir Chirac is a relatively neat middle-aged man with hair on his face as thick as the two in front of him. He smiled and said, "Before I came, Prime Minister Mazaran told me that we should not underestimate this country. I heard that Guangzhou is just one of nearly forty cities in the same level in this country called Daxia. I can't imagine how big this country is."

"Maybe every mistake in the diary of John Chan's missionary." Another short blonde young man came over: "He said that this Eastern country has 200 million people. If Guangzhou really has dozens of cities of the same level, it can be proved."

"In other words, our arrival is right." The fifth man came: "I can hardly imagine what it would be like to go to war with a country with 200 million people. And they are not weak, they can be said to be very powerful."

"Sir Williams, Sir Tange." The three people in front raised their glasses to greet them.

"We have been here for more than a day, and I don't know what they will arrange. But I really want to see their king. Johnson Chan said that the man looked like a god."

"Only the Lord is the God. There are no gods in the world."

"We should not discuss this issue. Lord or God. We should discuss what is happening in front of us. I wonder if you still remember the warships you saw from afar when you arrived the day before yesterday? They are really big guys."

"It's not just big. They're not wooden."

“Extremely fast.”

"No wonder our governor asked for help from the country. Such warships are probably unbreakable."

"If possible, I hope I can buy a few ships back this time, even one ship can do it."

"I don't think it's possible. If it were you, would you sell it?"

"Maybe?"

As he was speaking, a guard came: "My Lords, their officials are here."

When a few people heard this, they looked at each other: "It seems that our itinerary has been concluded."

In the lobby of the inn, they met the officials of Daxia. A young official was filled with a gentle and jade-like bookish temperament, upright and handsome.

Although the style of clothing and hair accessories are different from theirs, their gorgeousness and preciousness are secretly envious of the five people. You should know that clothes made of silk are sky-high in Europe. Ordinary nobles can't afford to wear them.

He stood in front of him, which made people feel ashamed of himself.

The translator stood by and translated each other for them.

In terms of language, the Taixi Zhuyi has been operating in Nanyang for nearly a hundred years. Whether it is the indigenous people of Nanyang or some Han people who live in Nanyang, they are all OK.

The officials of the Ministry of Rites first bowed to each of the five people. After the ceremony, they smiled and said, "The news of your arrival has been reported to the capital. Under the order of the Emperor, please prepare and set off early tomorrow morning and set off for the capital."

The translator translates the language.

When the five people heard this, they all looked surprised.

Sir Edward said: "We landed in Guangzhou at noon the day before yesterday, and it is now the third morning. I heard that the Great Xia is very vast, is the message conveyed so quickly?"

The official of the Ministry of Rites smiled and said, "I said that you probably don't understand. Maybe you can experience it yourself."

It has a sense of contempt.

When Edward and the other five heard this, they felt angry.

The next day, the bell of Chen hour rang, and the rain finally stopped for two days. The red sun in the sky was rising slowly.

The empire was unified, with the same track, and the same writing. Even in this regard, there were new developments. The main thing was the expansion of lower limits and accuracy.

Since ancient times, Zhuxia divided a day into twelve hours, divided by twelve earthly branches. Under the hour, there are carvings. However, the descriptions of a cup of tea, a meal, a stick of incense, and a breath are not very accurate.

After the unification of the Great Xia Dynasty, it expanded downwards more accurately based on the time. Although its accuracy refers to some principles of the sundial, more of them are the principles obtained from the mystery of the Yuan Qi.

The circulation of Yuanqi between heaven and earth also varies due to different environments and times. There is a constant rule here. The fluctuation amplitude of Yuanqi changes according to the changes in time, and it rotates day after day, year after year.

The truth here was taken out by Ying Yi. He handed it over to Yuanqi Palace and practiced it. It is the precise moment that is now universally used across the country.

Every city has a Yuanqi bell. It has the most accurate markings and will automatically ring the bell at an hour.

The accuracy of the Yuanqi Bell is amazing, with accuracy of one millionth of a breath. Of course, there is only one watch with this precise scale in Yuanqi Palace, and the clocks of each city are only accurate to one breath. It is about the same as one second, but it is not equivalent to one second.

Europa in this era already had a relatively accurate moment system, but in essence, it is actually not ahead of Zhu Xia.

Zhuxia is not without precision, but it has never been popularized. Because for the people, precision is useless to have no effect, so it has never been popularized.

The Yuanqi Bell is another system different from any time marking system before or at present. It is directly linked to the fluctuation law of Yuanqi, and its accuracy is unparalleled.
