Chapter 48 The Sack Girl
Seriously, I measured it 12 times in a row, and 6 times in various places on the ship. Liu Lian took people off the ship again, and chose a different place to measure it 6 times. An average number was given, but this time it was strictly not rounded.

31.9.

That is to say, the latitude of Jiangyin is 31.9 degrees.

31.9 degrees north latitude.

Seeing this conclusion, whether they understand it or not, everyone feels that they have done a big thing.

After finishing the measurement, everyone returned to the conference hall on the second floor of the upper cabin. After some discussion, a decision was made, and the ship's craftsmen were required to rush to work overnight, and then three sets of star-tracking instruments were made. To Taicang tomorrow, three teams will be dispatched The officials went north along the coastline, and measured all the Linhai counties all the way until Jiaozhou, and asked to return within one month.

Zhu Yuan also sketched a modified drawing himself during the discussion.

According to the previous use experience, a simple bracket that can be rotated in all directions is added to the star-strapping instrument, and a vertical plate is added on both sides of the copper tube to prevent the eyes from being distracted.

In addition, the plan to send three different groups of people is also to avoid errors, and the results can be used for cross-reference in the future.

What's more, after Zhao Xu's first proposal, everyone also agreed that each group of officials should be escorted by a small flag of officers and soldiers, so as to prevent people from spying on secrets with unruly intentions.

Zhu Yuan didn't think that the device with such a simple principle was a secret, so he agreed.

Speaking of dispatching manpower from the 2000 people led by Zhao Xu and Zuo Qi, it was unanimously rejected again.

His Majesty the Emperor ordered that 2000 people could only stay by Zhu Yuan's side.

Ugh.

The ancestor is so good, what can we do?
So the Huagao people were drawn.

When passing through Yangzhou, five hundred sailors and soldiers followed, led by Huagao's nephew Huayue, who had a rank of five and a thousand households, and these people were also Huagao's immediate personal guards.Of course, it must have been approved by Lao Zhu.

After discussing the matter, it was already the beginning of Haichu.

Zhu Yuan only felt exhausted and wanted to lie down on the spot, but he insisted on walking out of the meeting hall.

Next to him was an unknown Liu Lian who was still chasing after Zhu Yuan and asking, "Hanlin, where does this magnetic declination come from? Can you explain it to me?"

The compass was used in the measurement process just now, and Liu Lian also measured another natural phenomenon he found in the classics, the geomagnetic declination.

Jiangyin here is about 4 degrees.

easterly.

Zhu Yuan came to one side of the gangway, felt Zhao Xu helping him, and didn't push him away. Leaning on him, he said to Liu Lian in a weak voice: "The rotation axis of the earth is different from the magnetic axis, and the Polaris just rotates. Above the axis, it should not be the standard 90 degrees, the compass points to the direction of the magnetic axis, and there is a deviation between the two.”

Liu Lian was stunned, and asked again: "How did Hanlin know?"

Zhu Yuan's eyelids began to fight, and he muttered: "I am a god in the sky. Duke Zhou has already asked me to play chess. If you have something to ask, you can ask me tomorrow. Also, don't ask me why I know, I am a god in the sky."

Liu Lian was eager to study, but he was not blind. Seeing that Zhu Yuan was almost leaning on Zhao Xu under the light of the lantern, he stopped talking.

When he came to the first deck and stood firm, Liu Lian still couldn't hold back and said again: "Hanlin, I invite you to lead a team along the coastline to measure the latitude of various places."

Zhu Yuan yawned, nodded and said vaguely: "Yes, but there is a condition."

Liu Lian looked happy, and said with a long bow, "Hanlin, please tell me?"

Zhu Yuan paused, looked at Liu Lian, and said, "Write a letter to your father and ask him to be the commander of the camp for you. When Mr. Liu arrives, I don't care if you go to the North Pole to measure the latitude."

Liu Lian: "..."

Hua Gao, Fang Li and others who came down together almost laughed when they saw Liu Lian's mouth twitching because of Zhu Yuan's words.

Hua Gao still thinks that Liu Bowen can be regarded as retired, which is much better than being forced out again. If it is really for his son... When Lao Liu arrives, he will definitely beat up this unfilial son first.

Master Hua was sad again in a blink of an eye.

He didn't even have to beat his son.

After Zhu Yuan finished speaking, he ignored Liu Lian who wanted to desert, and walked towards the cabin door on the first floor.

The first floor of the upper three floors of the cabin is all designated as Zhu Yuan's private space, only Zhu Yuan is a man, and no one dares to count how many female relatives.

As soon as he arrived at the cabin door, Xieyi and Liu Bai, who had been waiting for a long time, came out to welcome him, took his little official from Zhao Xu's hand, and Liu Bai glanced around resentfully, to have tired his little official for so long.

Passing through the outer room, bypassing a corridor, and entering a warm bedroom with windows, the first feeling is the fragrance of the room.

Not just Xieyi and the others, there are more than a dozen slim figures here.

Or around the round table, or lying on the side of the desk, or just sitting on the stool, holding a hard board.

Or painting, or school books, and a few are doing needlework.

Seeing the little master come in, a group of girls all stood up, bringing another burst of fragrance.

Zhu Yuan likes the feeling of being surrounded by so many fragrances.

He signaled everyone to continue, and was served to take off his clothes and shoes. Zhu Yuan lay down in the warm bed, but couldn't fall asleep for a while, and noticed the disharmony in the bedroom, a little girl who was not slim.

Not the first time I noticed.

During the day, I felt that there was a figure following Liu Bai, always floating in my field of vision, looking like he was plotting evil.

I remember that Liu Bai came to say yesterday that he wanted to take another girl to his side, it should be this one.

Zhu Yuan raised his finger and said, "Come."

The little girl didn't seem to expect that her master would notice her, she was stunned for a while, and then hurried forward with small steps.

As they approached, Zhu Yuan took a closer look under the light.

She has beautiful eyes with some trepidation in her crystal eyes, fair skin and short stature, exuding the unique graceful feeling of Jiangnan women.

and.

Finally someone shorter than me.

That's... the oversized blue jacket and skirt on the little girl's body, her small body was like being wrapped in a sack.

I didn't treat you badly.

Look at other girls are beautiful.

So he signaled: "This clothes, sack? Change to something that fits better. It looks like an eyesore."

The little girl was suddenly at a loss, and carefully glanced at the blank space.

Liu Bai stepped forward: "Little official, go to sleep, this slave will pick out clothes that fit her tomorrow."

Zhu Yuan turned to Liu Bai: "You have also learned badly, let your petty official, an obsessive-compulsive disorder, sleep with disharmony, how can I sleep?"

Then turned around, looked at Qingniang, muttered in a half-drowsy way: "Qingqiu is the most obedient, Qingqiu change her clothes."

Seeing that the little official called her Qingqiu again, Qingniang almost shed tears.

Because of this name change, she cried several times in private, thinking that she would soon be forgotten by the petty officials, and then sent to the kitchen, where she would truly become a cook, and there would be no hope for her in this life.For this reason, the afternoon before yesterday, she completely lost face, even listening to Liu Bai's teasing, she was resolute and took a chance.

At the moment Zhu Yuan ordered, Qingniang stepped forward resolutely and obediently, pulled the little girl over, and carried out the order of her little official.

Then, Zhu Yuan lost his sleepiness even more.

I began to think about the couplet in my heart, the sea is open to all rivers, tolerance is great, walls stand thousands of feet, no desire is strong... tolerance is great... big... big...

Master Lin, I was wrong!

I'm vulgar!
I want to repent!

After silently repenting for ten seconds, Zhu Yuan raised his hand to signal to the strange eyes of the girls around him: "My dear Qingqiu, quickly put the sack on her, she will only be able to wear the sack from now on."

Then he looked at Liu Bai again: "You have learned badly, and you actually found such a little girl to test your family's officials."

Leave blank and feel wronged.

Leave it blank.

In fact, even if they are not as good at explaining words as Luo Shui, she and Xieyi are not as unsophisticated as Qingniang, and they can gradually understand when their petty officials are joking and when they have real emotions.

Moreover, as Xieyi said, my petty official is a very witty person by nature, and the reticent and arrogant appearance I saw at first must have been deliberately done to figure out her identity, unlike her blank, once dull-mouthed gourd, because she met Only those who are happy become talkative.

At that time, his mind was punctured, and Liu Bai blushed and scratched his freehand itchy nest fiercely.

At the moment, I knew that the little official was joking, leaving blank or being wronged.

The little girl from Lin's family came here because she wanted to protect her little officials more.

She has verified carefully that this girl is really like what the naughty daughter-in-law of the Lin family said, she can hold dozens of breaths in the water at one breath, and she didn't measure the limit, because at that time she counted to sixty or seventy breaths, Seeing that the little girl was still lying in the water basin, she became more and more frightened, thinking that she was suffocating, so she stretched out her hand to pull her up, but she was fine and smiled at her.

Liu Bai himself then got into the washbasin and tried it, and he couldn't take it anymore if he couldn't feel ten breaths.

Also, this girl is small in stature, but she has great strength, if she really wants...she can easily pull out the little official.

It's just... these can't be explained clearly.

Such an unlucky thought.

How can you say that?

Liu Bai just insisted on his own thoughts silently, even though he knew that his petty official was surrounded by a bunch of people protecting him, he still couldn't help taking that girl to stay not far away today, for this reason even a female family member walking around seemed not to be polite I didn't care about it, I just wanted to watch and watch from afar with peace of mind.

But can't say.

Seeing that Liu Bai hangs his head and doesn't speak, Zhu Yuan doesn't ask too many questions, knowing that this girl has a lot of thoughts, and asking too many questions will make her uneasy.Then she turned to the little girl who had put on the sack again: "What's your name?"

Just now when so many people were taken off her coat and skirt, the little girl's fair face was blushing, she was blessed, and her voice was crisp and clear: "My slave is called Xiaoyu." Thinking of it, she added: "Lin Xiaoyu."

Zhu Yuan remembered: "I know, your brother's name is Lin Dayu."

The father and son who were the first to punt themselves were designated by Lao Zhu as his servants, and they were still responsible for the daily punting. This time they were asked to watch the garden in Jinling, but they did not come over.

That's it...

The name is so sloppy enough.

After asking a few words, Zhu Yuan didn't say much, and motioned to the dozen or so girls of all ages who were all very eye-catching: "Xiyi, you stay here, and everyone else goes to rest."

These were selected by Zhu Yuan from the group of servants that Lao Zhu rewarded.

As for where they came from, it was similar to the two girls of Xieyi. The army attacked and plundered all directions. Those who surrendered could save their families.In this day and age, the whole world is the same.Moreover, the superiors are not worried about rebellion, and the assigned ones are also very resigned to their fate.

Because it has been like this for thousands of years.

Besides, the quality of those who can be rewarded to Zhu Yuan by Lao Zhu's words can also be imagined.

Among them, three are from the official family background. However, apart from appearance, Zhu Yuan's most important thing is whether he can write and paint.

Before the women gathered here, most of them did this.

When the other girls left, there were only four Xinyis left, and Zhu Yuan, who was less sleepy, motioned to Qingniang again: "Come, sit next to me, and reward you for helping me write my work diary."

This woman is timid and stupid, so Zhu Yuan can't evade her words, she must be very straightforward, rewards are rewards, and punishments are punishments, because saying otherwise will be taken seriously.
