502 Inkmen

The next day, at the beginning of the twenty-fifth day of the lunar month, Xu Wen arrived at the red clay field with a group of Nanyue craftsmen such as camels and Huang Jiangguan.

Seven days was not enough time for the camel to heal completely, and his upper body was still wrapped in bandages, but other than that, his complexion was much better than when they first met.

During this time, in order to allow them to recuperate well and prepare for the election, Yan Ji directly transferred abundant supplies, just to eat, every meal is full of meat and vegetables, not to mention full food and clothing.

Xu Wen couldn't tell what the camels were thinking, but it was undoubtedly a great help to their mental and physical strength.

Before Jiang Lei's two cell bosses arrived, Xu Wen and Huozi sorted out a new set of passwords together, and took the Nanyue craftsmen to memorize by rote.

After the cell boss arrived, the yellow craftsman officer took them directly to the cement field of drinking horses and asked them to conduct field drills.

The time was very short, and Xu Wen didn't plan to teach them more complicated things, just simplified the passwords and processes to the extreme, so that they could remember the corresponding actions firmly, as long as they completed the work at hand.

But the companions of the Moon Age Team were concerned about this, and came to help whenever they had free time.

It was definitely not possible to have too many mouths, so each of them chose one of the thirty-six Nanyue craftsmen to guide this person.

The number of people in the moon age team is larger, which is more efficient than turning into a many-to-one fast cram school, where several people help one.

After a little time, the members of the Moon Age Team began to subconsciously teach these Nanyue craftsmen some more things.

How to do a thing, why to do it, where is the truth in between.

This is actually the things they learn on the road, and before they know it, they become their own and start teaching others.

Huang Wuwu began to want to stop it.

In such a little time, what should I do if I mess up the brains of these people, but it will be troublesome.

But Xu Wen stopped him and acquiesced to the fact that this happened.

"It's better for them. He said briefly.

Huang Wuwu seemed to understand, but he didn't say anything more.

At this time, it was not yet dawn, and Xu Wen's team had already arrived at the bank of the Yinshui River.

They arrived the earliest, and there was no one outside the tent except them, and there was silence all around.

Xu Wen nodded to the craftsmen of Nanyue, and everyone consciously formed a phalanx and began to follow him to do a set/action.

The authentic five-bird opera was learned by him separately. Although it does not have some other effects like the five birds, it can also strengthen the body and relax the muscles and bones.

Standing not far away were two cell heads, with knives hanging from their waists, but their hands were not on the knives, yawning, and their expressions were a little scattered.

It stands to reason that they had come to supervise the hard laborers so that they could work hard and not be lazy, but after a few days, they found that they were not needed at all.

These laborers are so energetic every day that they don't need to say a word.

Especially when another group of young men came to teach them something, they were even more trouble-free, and when they were free, they were discussing things they didn't understand at all, and they didn't make any noise, they didn't make trouble, except that sometimes they felt that they were being despised for their intelligence.

Not to mention, Lei Zhutou has an explanation, Huang Jiangguan has a point, and the two cell heads are comfortable, of course, they are more cooperative.

After a set/action was completed, Xu Wen closed the momentum, and suddenly found that there were many more people around, and it seemed that other teams had also arrived.

Xu Wen let out a long breath, and his breath condensed into a white mist in the cold air.

He looked around and saw that the newcomers were very neatly divided into four teams, with the same but different uniforms, and it seemed that they were their opponents today.

There is still some time before the official start, and these four groups of people are obviously watching them just now, and the chief officer should be standing at the front.

They are obviously older, basically between thirty and forty, in the prime of their lives.

Xu Wen's gaze condensed slightly, noticing one of them.

"Lord Zhu!" he called out unexpectedly.

This person is Zhu Gantang, who is the chief examiner of the county exam in Shuixian County.

At the beginning, after Zhu Gantang took the main exam, he broke Cen Xiaoyi's case for him, and also bought the full division method to present the court.

Xu Wen knew very well that some of the benefits he received from the Inner Pavilion and the Jingying Mansion in the future were not only because he was Lian Tianqing's apprentice, but also had a lot of credit for the full division of the method.

Because of various things, he had a very good impression of Zhu Gantang, but he remembered that although Zhu Gantang served as the chief examiner, he was not a craftsman, but a scribe and a great calligrapher. How could he come to run for the head of the palace?

However, it is said that he once supervised the cultivation of famous gardens, so he became acquainted with craftsmen, and he also had experience in architecture.

Zhu Gantang was obviously very happy to see him, and was about to catch up with a smile, but another middle-aged man next to him took the lead, strode forward, walked up to Xu Wen, looked at him, and asked, "Are you Xu Wen?"

"Yes. Xu Wen smiled slightly, answered, and his eyes fell on the sign on his waist.

He is very familiar with the sign on the sign, and he can see it every day for a month, it is the Inner Pavilion.

In this election, there are two places in the Inner Pavilion, two places in the Jingying Mansion, and one in the Ziyi Office, this person is another candidate for the Inner Pavilion?

That's his companion.

"My name is Li Quan, the head of the three departments of the Inner Pavilion, and I was sent to run for the chief official of the construction of the Western Desert Palace this time. He introduced himself briefly, with a calm face and a somewhat stern gaze.

This companion...... It's a bit of a bad intention.

However, looking at the average age of the candidates and the seniority of the age representatives, you can guess the reason.

Do you think he's dragging his feet......

"I've seen adults. Xu Wen thought to himself, his face didn't show anything, and he saluted as usual.

"You and I are colleagues, and we dare not call ourselves adults. But I'm a few years older than you, and I recognize you as a senior. Li Quan said in a deep voice.

"Yes, Senior Li. "Xu asks from the good.

Li Quan seemed to want to say something, but after looking around, he only nodded, and stepped aside.

At this time, Zhu Gantang stepped forward, glanced at Li Quan's back with a smile, and said, "His temper is really the same as the rumors." ”

"You know him?"

"Do you know the heavenly workmanship?"

“...... Know. ”

"Do you know what's under heaven?"

Xu Wen shook his head.

"Under heaven is the ink worker, the top master of all categories. Li Quan is one of the three graphite workers and the first stonemason of the Inner Pavilion. Zhu Gantang said with a smile, very relaxed.

Then he pointed to the other side and said, "Not only him, but the other one over there is also a graphite." ”

Xu Wen's gaze followed the direction of his finger and landed in front of one of the teams.

The man was wearing the sign of Jingying Mansion, and his figure was very eye-catching, and he was a big fat man who was rarely seen in this era.

"That one is a tiller. Zhu Gantang pointed to the other side.

The man was dressed in green clothes, which was a common attire in the Ziyi Office. He has deep smile lines on his face and looks very kind.

The most striking thing is the team behind him, all dressed in green clothes, neat and orderly, obviously different from other teams.

Five people came to run, three ink workers, this battle is really big enough.

"What about you, who also represent Jingying Mansion?" Xu Wen glanced over there twice, then turned his head and asked.
