Time flies.

On the evening of the fifth day, the four chief judges sat around the table, each holding a cup of tea, and the atmosphere was somewhat delicate.

Incense burned in the corner of the room, and a faint smoke lingered in the room, and the four of them could clearly divide into three parties just by looking at their seats.

One side is Jing Nanhai, one side is Qin Lianying, and the other side is a little farther away from the table, Mingshan and Lin Xie got familiar with each other at some point and sat together.

There is only one party in charge of this matter, and that is the Ministry of Works under the imperial court.

But these four people come from different forces and represent interests in different directions, and it is natural that there will be some contradictions and disputes in the middle, intentionally or unintentionally competing for the right to speak.

In fact, it stands to reason that the two organizations of the Inner Pavilion and the Jingyeongfu are duplicated in terms of functions, and there is a sense of waste of resources, but from the beginning of their establishment, they have different concepts and very different ways of doing things.

In the past, the Ministry of Industry would choose one of the two departments to carry out construction work such as the Don't Use Palace.

As a result, this time for some reason, a campaign was held, and two families, plus a Ziyi Office, were put together to compete fairly.

The inner pavilion was built very late, but for some special reason, it has been in a very delicate position since the day of its creation.

The qualifications of the Jingying Mansion were much older than him, but on such occasions, he rarely competed with them, and naturally put the Inner Pavilion in the main position.

What's more, this time the Inner Pavilion came to Jing Nanhai, and the Inner Pavilion was in charge. When the big boss arrived, of course, Qin Lianying, the No. 3 and No. 4 person in Jingying Mansion, still had to give way to the back.

Before, when Jing Nanhai spoke, Qin Lianying rarely spoke.

But now, Qin Lianying was sitting in a position that was hidden from Jing Nanhai, and he was faintly strong.

And Mingshan and Lin Xie obviously didn't want to fight with them, so they sat a little farther away.

“...... Time is very tight, and the most important thing is to see if the project can be completed within time. Jing Nanhai spoke first, putting efficiency in the most critical position.

"Don't use the hidden dragon, don't use the palace is the royal palace, and it is naturally the royal regulation. It's not enough to just build a house, but you still have to have the style it should have. Qin Lianying took a sip of tea and said slowly.

"Moreover, the Ink Art Hall has only been built for a year and a half, and the drawings have been changed once in the middle. Three years to build a palace, there is plenty of time, not a problem. Qin Lianying further added.

"In three years, the envoy will come, how can we say that it will be built in three years? Jing Nanhai said.

"And it is. Qin Lianying agreed.

"Moreover, where is the Moyi Palace built? The best place in the capital is to ask for people and things. How can the remote land of the Western Desert be compared with the capital? A year of scheduling and construction is indeed a bit tense. Jing Nanhai said.

"But this is the Royal Pavilion. Qin Lianying said.

Just four words are enough to say a lot. Its regulation is here, and the portion is here.

"Moreover, Lord Jing must not forget why the imperial court built this palace. However, Qin Lianying added another sentence and looked up at Jing Nanhai.

The construction of the palace is to show the prestige of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

In this case, it is not enough to build it quickly, it must be built well, brilliantly, magnificently, and convincingly.

Then it can't be like Jing Nanhai emphasized, the construction is finished, and the quality requirements need to be higher.

Jing Nanhai didn't speak, and looked at Qin Lianying.

The two of them talked for a long time, but it was actually quite like nonsense.

This is to be built but the palace, if it is not built, it will not be done, and it will not be good if it is not built, and it must be perfect in all aspects.

It has nothing to do with the lack of time, inconvenient transportation, or anything.

Royal engineering, how can you bargain?

If you have the ability, you will get on, and if you don't have the ability, you will get out, it's as simple as that.

But what these two people said was not only about this palace, but also involved more.

This is the reason for the establishment of the Inner Pavilion, and it is also the fundamental contradiction between the two.

After a long while, Jing Nanhai slowly turned his head and looked at Ming Shan: "Master Ming is also the chief judge, what do you think of this matter?"

Mingshan was drinking tea and eating melons, but he was suddenly named, he raised his head unhurriedly and said, "Lord Qin has a point. Then he changed his words, "Lord Jing is right. We can't build a semi-finished product for the envoy to see, and we can't live up to His Majesty's expectations. So I think it's fast, it's good, it's the best of both worlds. ”

This was the same as not saying it, Jing Nanhai was noncommittal and turned to Lin Xie.

"I share the same opinion as Uncle Ming, but I would like to add one more point. Your Majesty wants to use the palace to show my Great Zhou Guowei, but what kind of Great Zhou Guowei is I? Dignified and solemn, tolerant of all rivers, friendly and amiable? I think that the elected chief officer must have his own ideas on this point. Lin Xie said calmly.

The three people next to him didn't expect him to say such a thing, and they were all stunned for a while, turned their heads, and looked at him with new eyes.

"You're right. Qin Lianying said first.

"But it's too mysterious. Jing Nanhai was a little hesitant.

"But it does make sense. Mingshan said.

"Then it's up to the four of us......" Jing Nanhai pondered for a moment and looked up.

Next, several parties reached a consensus and formulated specific rules for the selection on the second day.

Efficiency and quality, when a balance is taken, each item has a certain score, the weight is similar, and the person with the highest total score wins.

First of all, the completion and quality of the work account for 50 points each.

Both of these projects are relatively objective, and both the Inner Pavilion and the Jingying Prefecture have standards for judging, so just follow the standards.

Interestingly, the standards are the same for both sectors – exactly the same.

The Inner Pavilion was originally separated from the Jingying Mansion at the earliest, and in addition to people, it also took away a lot of other things.

Jing Nanhai and Qin Lianying had been arguing for a long time before, and the agreement at this time was also reached quickly.

Their real disagreement is not in this project.

The third is the overall planning ability shown by the election chief during these five days.

This item is also subjective and objective, with a total score of 50 points, and the four chief judges first score their own scores and then take the average score.

The fourth item is what Lin Xie just said.

The whole process went quite smoothly, and although Jing Nanhai and Qin Lianying had their own ideas, they had sufficient experience in presiding over large-scale projects. At this time, the primary focus is on what to investigate, and the two of them actually know it.

Soon, they finished discussing the scoring criteria and process for the next day, and broke up with a bit of disgust.

After leaving, Lin Xie suddenly stopped Ming Shan with some hesitation, and asked with some hesitation: "Uncle Ming, what do you think?" Jing Nanhai and Qin Lianying, Neiwu Pavilion and Jingying Mansion, which side do you support?"

"It's hard to say which side to support...... Mingshan pondered for a moment, looked up at the sky, and said slowly, "I only know that what the Inner Pavilion wants to do may be a disaster for the Jingying Mansion." ”

"But how do you know it's not a good thing?"

In Lin Xie's shocked gaze, Mingshan turned his head and smiled slightly.

The afterglow of the setting sun shone on his cheeks, bright as blood and brilliant as a song.
