The purpose of Xuan Shijing's desire to build this academy is to improve the treatment of craftsmen to a certain extent, to cultivate more excellent craftsmen, and then promote the development of Datang's "science and technology". Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"What's the matter with Master Hou, even if he is told, the little ones and others must do their best." The person in charge said very humbly to Xuan Shijing.

"Yes." Xuan Shijing nodded, and then slowly spoke: "I plan to choose a place within this Dao Zhengfang to establish an engineering college. ”

"Faculty of Engineering?"

"What is an engineering college?"

"Sounds ...... It seems to be a craftsman......

As soon as Xuan Shijing said this, the craftsmen sitting below all exchanged their heads and talked about it.

Ordinary people would never think about building a school for craftsmen, so no one here would go to that aspect to think about, but they just felt that the engineering college mentioned by the Marquis of Dongshan was estimated to be a very big house......

After all, when they come to this political workshop, their main task is to build a house, isn't it?

"Everyone, please listen to Ben Hou's words." Xuan Shijing suppressed the discussion of the craftsmen below, and then began to explain to the craftsmen present the purpose, significance, and future development of the engineering school he wanted to build.

The status of craftsmen in the Tang Dynasty is not high, not only the officials think so, the people think so, even the craftsmen themselves, there is also some attitude of resignation, craftsmen, as long as they make money, they can let the family have food and clothing, and live peacefully, that is excellent, as for the status or something, where do you dare to ask for luxury.

The status of craftsmen is still so higher than that of businessmen, but there are still a large number of people who want to engage in business, why, because businessmen can make money, ordinary farmers, in fact, the degree of solidity at home is not as good as that of craftsmen, so there are also some farmers after the birth of their children, they will be sent to some larger towns, to some craftsmen and masters as apprentices, one is to be able to have food, second, can also learn a craft, even if this craft can not be used in the future, it is also a lot of skills do not press, but this learned the craft can not be used, It's still not much.

The status is so, but if there is a mason in a village, or a carpenter, in the neighborhood, who has a problem, looking for someone to help, who dares to say that he does not respect the craftsman, who has not had a happy event, or repairing the house and farm tools, if he has a bad relationship with the craftsman, and if he says something unpleasant, he will not even be able to find a coffin to beat you when he dies in the future.

After listening to Xuan Shijing's explanation, the craftsmen below all turned red with excitement, and the light in their eyes was almost about to pierce the hall and rush straight to the sky.

Hou Ye actually values craftsmen so much, this is really a blessing for craftsmen, originally I only heard that those literati have academies, but now, craftsmen also hope to have such a holy place, how to make them not excited.

"Master Hou, what you said is true?" One of the craftsmen couldn't help but stand up, looked at Xuan Shijing and asked excitedly, he hoped that what he had just heard was true, not Xuan Shijing's lies.

Xuan Shijing smiled: "I'm also the marquis of His Majesty's own title, what do I do to lie to you." Her Royal Highness and I came here today just to choose a seat for this engineering college, and now the entire Daozheng Workshop is under construction, so this matter should be decided as soon as possible, and it will save more effort. With that, Xuan Shijing stood up, walked to the long table, pulled out the plan of the Daozheng Workshop, spread it on the table, and then motioned for the craftsmen in the hall to gather over.

Curious, Jin Yang also came over, Xuan Shijing saw this, and protected Jin Yang on his side, is it a princess anyway......

Xuan Shijing pointed to a large area of Daozheng Square and said, "Look, let's discuss what is the most suitable location for the construction of this engineering college. ”

When everyone heard this, their eyes were focused on the map, which had originally planned out various houses, but now if they want to choose a place to build an engineering college, they will definitely break this layout within a certain range.

Whether it is in terms of location or locality, the most suitable is nothing more than the No. 1 house that Xuan Shijing set before, the place is big enough, if it is used to build an engineering college, the rest of the house does not need to be moved, but that is the place that Xuan Shijing fancies, and the craftsmen will naturally not be stupid enough to put this place forward and grab land with Xuan Shijing.

Fortunately, there are many places along Xuanwu Lake in Daozheng Fang, and the space that can be occupied by a No. 1 house is also limited, so the craftsmen are aiming at the place close to Xuanwu Lake.

No matter what the craftsmen do, they are inseparable from water, masons and blacksmiths, even if they are carpenters, they are also short of water, and the most important thing near Xuanwu Lake is water, and the craftsmen are thoughtful enough, if the things that the engineering college gets out of the future want to be transported out of Chang'an, it is the most convenient to take the waterway.

The craftsmen summarized their ideas and told them to Xuan Shijing, Xuan Shijing thought about it, and also felt that the ideas of the craftsmen were very reliable.

The general direction is determined, but the specific location is quite difficult to choose......

"What do you think, son?" Xuan Shijing set his eyes on Jinyang, because the No. 1 house is also on the verge of Xuanwu Lake, and the construction of the College of Engineering is likely to be next to the No. 1 house, and the No. 1 house is wanted to be given to Jinyang by Xuan Shijing as a princess's mansion, so naturally he also needs to ask Jinyang's opinion.

Jin Yang thought for a moment, then pointed deep and drew an area on the map.

"I think it's a nice place." Jin Yang said.

The place that Jin Yang pointed out was next to her future princess's mansion, and the place was not small.

"Next door to this place, it's your princess's mansion." Xuan Shijing said thoughtfully.

"That's okay, maybe it'll be very lively, Brother Jing, you think, if you are idle and boring in the future, you can go to the College of Engineering to hang around, there will definitely be a lot of new things, and the number of people in the College of Engineering will not be too much, such a large place, it must be sparsely populated in the early stage, if there are really more people in the end, I'm afraid this College of Engineering will have to move." Jin Yang said with a smile: "Moreover, the College of Engineering is built here, along the shore of Xuanwu Lake, there can still be a part of it that extends into the lake." (To be continued.) )
