"Sure enough, I mean Xu Wen's name is very familiar. Chu Qiushi said with relief.

Xu Wen remembered the records he had seen that night, Chen Ergen and Chu Qiushi had a debate about the advantages and disadvantages of the total division, and Chu Qiushi was on the side of the opposition.

He also remembered his last sentence very clearly.

"What's the difference between a human and a monkey if you only use tools?"

Of course, there is an essential difference between humans and monkeys in the way they use tools, and it can even be said that the main factor that separated the two species in the first place. But Xu Wen understood what Chu Qiushi meant.

He thought of some of the things that happened in his time, of the Wenchuan Society, of Xu Zhai, and of the statue that he would complete but never completed.

But at the same time, he thought of Fengchun City, the barren land in the Western Desert and even the south of the Yangtze River, and the ragged craftsmen he saw when he entered Green Forest Town.

Countless scenes intertwined in his heart, he raised his head and took the initiative to ask, "I heard that Master Chu has some objections to the full division?"

Countless eyes converged on Xu Wen, with different expressions.

Before Xu Wen said this, everyone's focus was on cement, although some people were noncommittal, but on the whole, the attitude towards it was happy to accept.

Most master craftsmen welcomed the emergence of this new material – cheap and easy to use, and who doesn't like it?

But at this time, when Xu Wen's question came out, many people had subtle expressions on their faces.

Some of them, who were holding the cement and twisting it carefully, also put it back in the paper bag, clapped their hands, and sat back in their place.

Their expressions weren't unfriendly, they were just very subtle, as if they were waiting for Xu to ask what he would say later.

Xu Wen felt a slight rejection coming from all directions, he knew why, but he just raised his head and was not afraid.

At this time, out of the corner of his eye, he saw Lian Tianqing and Lian Linlin.

Lian Tianqing was staring at him, seemingly somewhat similar to the other master craftsmen, but more dignified.

And even Lin Lin, who has never officially become a craftsman, seems to understand his attitude and the conflict contained in it, leaning forward and looking at him with concern.

"Yes, not some, but a lot. Chu Qiushi was originally sitting at the back, and when he heard Xu Wen's question, he stood up and walked to the front.

There was a sound behind him, and many people changed positions slightly and sat behind him.

After a few moments, something was different.

The skylight shone in from the outside of the cave and the skylight above, illuminating the stone steps and the platform clearly, and Xu Wen and Chu Qiushi each stood in the corner of the platform.

Most of the masters were sitting behind Chu Qiushi, and Xu Wen was empty behind him, only a few people such as Ni Tianyang and Chen Ergen.

Lian Linlin was originally sitting in the center like Lian Tianqing, but at this time, she looked left and right, took the initiative to leave next to Lian Tianqing, and trotted over to sit next to Ni Tianyang.

"I want to hear about it. Xu asked.

"Now it is mainly the official workshop that implements the full division method. I specifically inquired about something. For this full division, the official workshop has set up some rules. People who have not studied before enter the official workshop and have to practice for three years before they can work. Apprentices who have left the master will have to practice for a year before they can get started. What I'm saying is the truth?" Chu Qiushi looked at Honest Mune, but at this time, he spoke in an orderly manner and his thinking was very clear.

In the end, he looked at Chen Ergen and asked steadily.

"Yes, it's true. Chen Ergen was a little at a loss and stammered as he replied.

That is to say, everyone goes into the official workshop, no matter what ability you have, whether you have talent or not, all of them must first be ground into a shape, settle in all links, and from then on, guard that acre and three points of land, repeat the same work, change the post is just a change of work, or repeat it day after day and year after year. Is that so?" Chu Qiushi said.

"Yes, yes...... But ......" Chen Ergen felt that what Chu Qiushi said was right, and he felt that it was a little wrong, but he couldn't grasp that point, so he was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks.

"In this way, even if you work for a year or ten years, what can a craftsman learn? What is the difference between a person who works and a cow who cultivates the land?" Chu Qiushi looked directly at Xu and asked head-on.

"If that's what you're talking about, there's really no difference, man is a part of a machine, an integral part of the whole. Xu Wen even agreed with what he said.

"I heard that the official workshop has prepared a thick booklet for the full division of the law. Chu Qiushi curled his two fingers and gestured, "The size, size, and pattern of each item are listed in the booklet...... All the details, all the rules are clear. For example, a porcelain vase, where to take the soil, the pound of soil, how many inches of the bottle mouth, how many inches of the bottle body, how much height, how to match the glaze, and the time before and after firing...... All the details you can think of are stipulated, not bad at all, and if you are wrong, you will be destroyed as a defective product. Is that so?"

Chen Ergen was the only one at the scene who was from the official workshop, and of course he was ruthlessly questioned.

"Yes......" Chen Ergen was confused and uneasy, but he could only answer honestly.

"Xiao Xu, what do you think?" Chen Ergen had obviously answered, but Chu Qiushi still didn't let Xu ask.

"Standardized production, that's true. Xu Wen still answered very calmly.

In fact, not everyone among the masters knows a lot about the official workshop, and when Chu Qiushi and Chen Ergen discussed this matter a few days ago, not everyone was around.

At this time, hearing Chu Qiushi's words, many people's faces changed slightly.

"Ming is in charge. At this time, Chu Qiushi suddenly turned to Mingshan and saluted him slightly.

"Master Chu, please speak. Mingshan stood next to Lian Tianqing, a relatively neutral position, and said at this time.

"I just saw a stone statue on the stone wall, and I like it so much that I wonder if I can take it for everyone to see. Chu Qiu said.

"Of course. Mingshan readily agreed, and went out with Chu Qiushi, and after a rumbling sound, the two came back, and Chu Qiushi held a stone statue in his hand.

Mingshan walked to the sidelines, I don't know what mechanism was pressed, a stone platform rose in the center of the clearing, two feet high, Chu Qiushi understood, carefully put the stone statue on it, and gently brushed off a little dust on it with his sleeve.

The sleeves fell, and there was a gentle inhalation sound around him, and Xu Wen's gaze couldn't help but condense.

Chu Qiushi didn't speak immediately, but stood aside so that everyone could see the statue clearly.

It is a statue of Guanyin, the Bodhisattva is plump and slender, the folds of his clothes are like that, his eyes are downward, and he is smiling with flowers.

This is one of the most common gestures in a bodhisattva statue, but this statue is different from the others.

He stood leisurely, his movements were elegant and calm, his appearance was beautiful and dignified, his expression was full of compassion, and his eyes were like substance.

He was actually looking at an unknown place, but everyone felt like he was looking at themselves. When I looked at him, I couldn't help but have a thousand words, and I wanted to tell them one by one.

He was bathed in white light.

Everyone knew that the light was coming from above and from outside, but everyone still had an illusion.

This light is like self-generated, from the bottom of everyone's heart, and reflected on the idol.

It took a long time for the crowd to whisper and come back to their senses.

Chu Qiushi looked directly at Xu Wen and asked, "Can such a statue be completed with the full division method?"
