The meeting was held in a large tent for deliberations. This is one of the regular meetings for the reconstruction of the city, but it is also the largest. Because in addition to An Tianhan inviting officials from several nearby cities to attend this meeting, there were also envoys sent by the monarch.

Although the tent was large, forty or fifty people sat inside, and it was crowded.

After An Tianhan explained the agenda of the meeting, the envoy sent by the monarch asked to see An Kang, who was specially allowed to participate in the meeting.

He exchanged a few words with An Kang and said, "Lord Ancheng, since your son is also attending this meeting, before we have a meeting, you might as well listen to what your son has to say." I heard that Ling Zi was a rare young hero in the world, and he would inevitably have a high opinion. ”

An Tianhan couldn't help but be polite.

The envoy not only expressed his importance for his son, but also revealed the king's appreciation for him between his words, and he couldn't help but feel a little proud.

So An Tianhan said to An Kang: "Kang'er, you have also seen the plan for the reconstruction of Falling West City before. Tell me what you think. ”

The messenger also smiled and encouraged: "Just say, it's okay." Whether it's right or wrong, it's only discussed, and no one will be held accountable. ”

An Kang came to the meeting to put forward his own ideas, so he stood up from his seat and saluted everyone, saying, "This meeting is an important meeting for the reconstruction of Meteoric West City. The attendees were all important officials of the county, as well as envoys sent by the king. I shouldn't have been talking nonsense. However, since the envoy has asked me to share my thoughts, I will make some humble comments. I hope you Haihan. ”

"Come on. No need to be polite! As soon as the envoy heard Ankang's words, he knew that he must have an idea, and he was a little impatient.

An Kang smiled: "The method I said may not be consistent with your thoughts. At present, although there are many problems faced by Meteoric West City, they boil down to three main problems.

One is that there is not enough soil in the city to burn bricks.

Second, the materials needed for reconstruction could not be easily and quickly transported into the city.

Third, after the construction is completed, there is nowhere to pile up the construction waste, and it is also time-consuming and laborious to transport it out of the city.

Fourth, no matter which of the above items is done, it will be time-consuming and laborious, and it will also require a lot of money. As far as I know, the money in the treasury of the Fallen West City can't even pay one-twentieth of it. ”

Everyone in the room nodded. These problems have been discussed countless times, and they are big problems that are difficult to solve.

"I have an idea to solve this problem quickly," Ankang said. ”

Everyone said they would like to hear about it.

Ankang said: "We can't look at these four issues separately. When separated, it's a dead knot. But if we combine these four problems, we can find a solution. ”

"Combined?" An Tianhan and all the officials looked at each other.

Any one of these issues alone is a complex matter, and the relationship is intricate and far-reaching. When there is no idea for these problems, wouldn't it be even more messy to mix up the four questions together?

The solution to a complex problem is not to break down a problem into a number of small problems and solve them individually. When the small problems are solved, the big problems will be solved. That's the normal way of thinking.

Seeing that the whole tent was silent, An Kang continued with great satisfaction: "Yes. It must be combined to have the possibility of breaking the game. That's what I think.

The first step is to dig a ditch into the city, and the second step is to pour water from the moat into the ditch. If there is not enough water in the moat, water from nearby rivers can be brought in. The third step is to transport the materials in the ditch by boat, and the fourth step is to fill in the ditch. ”

Everyone was stunned. They haven't heard what the idea is.

In fact, this idea was not conceived by Ankang, but a famous construction project case in history.

Ankang once went to the library to read a book, and accidentally came across a set of comics introducing representatives of ancient miscellaneous families. Everyone knows the general scriptures, histories, children, and collections, but there are not many people who know about the outstanding talents of the miscellaneous family.

There is a story that makes An Kang feel emotional, and the name of this story is "Ding Wei Builds Palace".

Although Ding Wei is not the founder of accounting, he proposed the word "accounting". He is not only a brilliant accountant, but also a master of management.

"Ding Wei Builds a Palace" is about the most famous case of project management in his life. One day the palace caught fire, and the entire imperial city was reduced to ruins overnight. The emperor ordered the Ministry of Works to complete the reconstruction of the imperial city as soon as possible. However, it is difficult to complete the imperial city without ten or twenty years, not to mention the time-consuming and laborious removal of the broken bricks and tiles before construction.

No one dared to take on this drudgery. At this time, a cattle man with an influence of more than a thousand years appeared, and he was Ding Wei.

A thousand years ago, there were no cars, no excavators, no lifts, no concrete mixers, and all the work had to be done by manpower.

Ding Wei faced many problems, mainly from three major problems: first, there was not enough soil in the capital to burn bricks, second, it was time-consuming and laborious to transport a large number of building materials into the city, and third, there was nowhere to pile up construction waste. Not to mention the manpower and time required for each problem, it is also a great test for the national treasury.

The landlord's family has no surplus grain, and the emperor's family is the same.

Next, Ding Wei opened the hanging.

First, Ding Wei had a deep, wide ditch dug along a main street. The soil dug out of the trench is used to fire bricks. This solves the problem of raw materials for making bricks.

He then channeled water from a nearby river into the ditch, turning it into a river. This solves the problem of transportation of building materials.

Finally, after the building materials are shipped, the water in the ditch is drained and the broken buildings are filled in the ditch. This solves the problem of nowhere to pile up construction waste.

Later generations used a sentence to comment on Ding Wei's practice, which is called "three battles in one fell swoop".

Ankang explained in detail to everyone according to the idea of "Ding Wei builds a palace", and everyone finally understood.

After hearing this, their reaction was not applause, but shock.

The envoy sent by the monarch pulled Ankang's sleeve and praised him repeatedly: "O genius! Wizard! Previously, I heard many people in the capital mention how this great prince An, who recovered Gushan City alone and predicted the fall of the meteor, was outstanding, and I thought it was just a fallacy from the world. Now that I see it, it's really a young hero. Heroic! ”

Other officials, large and small, also surrounded Ankang and did not hesitate to praise them.

How difficult the battle to recover Gushan City was, although these people had not seen it, they still knew how the kingdom's army had been defeated repeatedly.

The prophecy of the fall of the meteorite, although these people have not heard An Kang say it himself, but An's father and son have repeatedly persuaded the soldiers and civilians in the city to flee at the cost of their lives, and they still know it.

Now this genius boy has come up with a solution to a problem that they can't even solve if they want to break their minds, and this solution is optimal from any point of view.

How could they not be shocked?
