Chapter 182: Speech Gusutai
Gongsun Zhi and Wu Ban both have their own unique skills, and they can be called the first in the world in specific fields. But their junior brother Lu Hai is proficient in every field, not only has his own hands-on ability, but also has the ability to integrate various technical fields together. This has the potential to be a chief engineer.
Gusutai is an unprecedented huge project, involving various fields such as civil, wood, stone, iron, etc., to combine the technology and products in these fields together, to build a magnificent landmark building, only Lu Hai has this ability.
Also because Wu Ban has died in Wu State, if he appears in Wu State again, it will attract all kinds of suspicion. Gongsun Zhi was a missing person in Wu State, and if he appeared in Wu State, he would be held accountable as an escape.
After some weighing, Fan Li decided that Gongsun Zhi and Wu Ban would still stay in Yue and be responsible for the upgrading of Yue Guo's farm tools. Lu Hai followed Fan Li back to Gusu and served as the chief engineer of the Gusutai Project.
Two carriages, loaded with 500 drawings painted on sheepskins, Fan Lizimei and Lu Hai rode horses to escort them, and marched towards Gusu.
Not just one day, I have entered Gusu City.
The groundbreaking ceremony was held, and the construction of Gusutai was a foregone conclusion. Xi Shi's mental state is much better, and he accompanies King Wu every day to play, laughing and laughing, either singing or dancing, flattering and smiling. Coupled with a bit of charming, King Wu was happy to follow Xi Shi and fart. The soul doesn't know where it flew.
However, a few days after the happy days, Xi Shi was not good, and began to languish again.
King Wu said, "Madam, are you feeling unwell somewhere?" ”
Xi Shi said lazily: "No." Gusutai said that the construction had started, why was there no movement? ”
Sky! It's because of this! So he hurriedly explained: "Madam, that's the case, the Gusutai project is too huge, and there is no good engineer yet." Without a good engineer, this platform can't be built well, right? ”
Xi Shi yawned: "So you can't build it?" ”
King Wu said, "How can you not build it? Isn't this figuring out a way? The widow has already sent Fan Li out to find and hire an engineer, and it is estimated that he will be back soon. ”
Xi Shi said, "Can Dr. Fan find an engineer?" ”
King Wu said: "I must be able to, no one can compare with the young uncle's ability to do things." Let's just say Madame, you. In such a remote place in the mountains, didn't you have to be found by the young uncle? ”
Xi Shi smiled: "Yes, Dr. Fan is very good at finding people." ”
King Wu said: "That's right, madam, don't worry, this thing will definitely succeed." ”
So, the spirit of Xi Shi came again, and King Wu was happy again. I started to get drunk and dreamed of death again.
After a few days, Xi Shi couldn't do it again, looking bored, King Wu was frightened, and quickly explained, doing everything possible to please and coax.
King Wu was also anxious: Young uncle, they all said that you would do things, why has it been so long, and I haven't even heard from me, Madam is like this, I can't bear it. Bring the engineer back, the few are eager to wear it!
Finally, Fan Li came back. The carriage stopped right outside the palace gate. King Wu was overjoyed and breathed a long sigh of relief, Young uncle, you are finally back. If it weren't for the etiquette, he would have wanted to get out of the palace.
Fan Li came in, trotted quickly, and bowed down: "Fan Li, minister Fan Li, see the king!" ”
King Wu took a step forward and pulled Fan Li up: "Hurry up, young uncle, how are things going?" ”
Fan Li smiled: "King, can such a wise king of yours send the wrong person?" The people you send out will definitely get things done. ”
King Wu laughed and said: "Young Uncle is really good at talking, you originally made a great contribution, but you passed on this credit to the widow." So, the engineer was hired by you? ”
Fan Li said: "I am waiting outside the palace gate. The king, and hundreds of parchment drawings, were to be transported into the palace and kept in the palace for the time being. ”
King Wu said, "Well, it will be kept in the widow's imperial study for the time being." Hurry up and invite the master into the palace, and the widow wants to talk to him.
Fan Li said: "The king, according to the regular system, those who have no official title are not allowed to enter the palace. ”
King Wu said, "You mean, the widow will give him an official now?" ”
Fan Li said: "What the minister means is that Gusutai is such a big project, three words are inexhaustible, now it is getting late, let Mr. stay in the post house for a night, tomorrow, we will Dazai-sama and Xiangguo-sama, all invited, everyone to listen to Mr. Gusutai's conception and design." As well as the project arrangement, personnel deployment, etc., if the king is satisfied, then make a decision and start construction on a later date. ”
King Wu said: "Yes, yes, this arrangement is excellent, then tomorrow." ”
Fan Li said: "Although he is a craftsman, in order for the project to progress smoothly, the king can also give him an official position, otherwise who will listen to what he says?" ”
King Wu said: "This makes sense, the widow must give him power, he is the highest authority in technical matters, and the commander-in-chief and you must listen to him." ”
Fan Li said: "This is very good. ”
Fan Li arranged for someone to drive the carriage in, stopped at the door of the imperial study, came up with a few chamberlains, and moved the sheepskin drawings into the study and put them in order.
King Wu happily returned to Chaoyang Palace, and shouted from afar: "Madam, good news!" ”
Shih Tzu said lazily, "King, what good news? ”
King Wu said, "Young Uncle is back. ”
Xi Shi stood up and said in surprise: "Doctor Fan is back?" Is the engineer here? ”
King Wu said, "Please, I'm resting in the post house." ”
Xi Shi said: "Can Gusutai start work?" ”
King Wu said: "Things are arranged like this, tomorrow, we will be with Dazai, Xiangguo and Shaobo, listen to this engineer Mr. Gusutai's speech, and after listening, we will choose a day to start work." ”
Xi Shi said: "Tomorrow the concubines will also listen to it." ”
King Wu said: "Madame, don't make trouble, you are the lady of Changguo, how can you meet outsiders casually?" ”
Xi Shi pouted and said, "No, the concubines want to listen, the concubines can sit behind the curtains and listen, the king agrees." ”
King Wu said, "Okay, it's up to you, and tomorrow you will sit behind the curtain and listen." ”
After breakfast the next day, Bo Yao and Wu Zixu received a notice from King Wu. I entered the palace early and sat in the imperial study and waited.
At this time, Xi Shi had already sat down behind the curtain, and Luo Jiang and Zimei were also serving behind. There was not much time, King Wu paced in, Wu Zixu and Bo Yao saw that the drive was over, and Fan Li accompanied Lu Hai in.
Fan Li introduced King Wu, and after Lu Hai visited the shrine, he introduced Bo Yao and Wu Zixu, and Lu Hai visited them one by one.
Although Lu Hai is a commoner, he is of high birth, knows etiquette, is neither humble nor arrogant, and is generous, showing excellent cultivation. King Wu saw it and nodded slightly in approval.
Fan Li briefly said the opening remarks, turned to Lu Hai and said, "Sir, please start." ”
Lu Hai stood up and said: "King, my lords, King Wu built Gusutai to provide an opportunity for Lu Hai to display his talents, and in the past few months, Xiaomin has drawn more than 500 drawings according to the king's vision provided by Lord Fan, basically including every aspect of Gusutai. Below, Xiaomin, will explain the content of each drawing in order. ”
