The auspiciousness of the mascot Chapter 45 The teaching of the city wall
October 1st, sunny and sunny.
In the courtyard where kindergarten teachers and nurses are trained, Wang Xuan said goodbye to the first batch of gardeners who went to the school to teach, hoping that they would be able to sum up some teaching experience and pass it on to their colleagues in two months.
The old man Gu of Hedong Jianye personally brought people to greet him, and he had been waiting at the door for a long time.
The Ministry of Education assigned them 20 kindergarten teachers and 60 nurses, and Wang Xuan also prepared 8 mathematics teachers, 16 Chinese teachers, and 6 physical education teachers for them, a total of 110 people.
Looking at such a large team of teachers, the old man of Le was full of smiles and smiles, and habitually stretched out his hands to shake hands with the female kindergarten teacher to express his welcome and gratitude.
These twenty kindergarten teachers are all members of the auspicious merchant family and are well educated, and Wang Xuan can only send them out to take the top first.
Chengnan Farm also came to pick up people, and the leader was Wu Zhiyuan, the person in charge of the farm, so far he is the only name that makes Wang Xuan feel good.
Their farm is assigned 22 kindergarten teachers, who are also the children of merchants, 60 nurses, 8 mathematics teachers (not matched in Liuyin District and Chengnan District for the time being), 16 Chinese teachers, 6 physical education teachers, and 2 nature teachers (assigned by the Ministry of Education), a total of 114 people.
So far, all 42 children of the merchant have been allocated.
Wang Xuan was not polite to them, and asked them to quickly take the people away, and instructed them to take care of their daily life and ensure their personal safety.
After sending these people away, it was already more than halfway through, Wang Xuan went to the school to give the children a math lesson, according to the progress of later generations, these children should be at the level of the second grade, for which Wang Xuan was proud for a while.
In the afternoon, I took a group of students out to observe as usual, this time to the fourth, fifth and sixth districts where the north of the old town is located, and actually observed the details of the construction of the city wall.
The captain of the construction team was at a loss when he saw Wang Xuan coming with everyone, and he only said hello vigorously.
He hadn't been informed beforehand, and he didn't know what to do.
Wang Xuan was not a person who cared about the scene, waved his hand and let him go about his own business, while he took the children along the city wall to talk while walking.
"Do you know what those pillars and wooden beams are for?" Wang Xuan asked, pointing to the tower crane that rose inside the city wall.
"It is used to hang heavy objects such as stones. One child replied.
"Oh, how do you know?" asked Wang Xuan with some curiosity.
"Yesterday, I heard from the big bulls of the six groups that their group followed the young master to the Qifeng Bridge, so I knew. ”
The child was still a little embarrassed, and blushed as he spoke, as if he had plagiarized someone else's knowledge.
Wang Xuan felt very relieved that his thoughts were not in vain, which was a good start.
Next, the group walked and watched, and Wang Xuan also explained to everyone from time to time, so detailed that the drawings of the city wall were depicted. Along with the design ideas, intentions, etc., the key explanations are made.
For example, why the outer side of the wall is sloping and the inner side is straight. Wang Xuan said in detail, explaining that this is due to the fact that this design is conducive to the stability of the city wall, this angle makes the bottom of the city wall have stronger support and is difficult to collapse; secondly, it provides a wider field of vision for the soldiers defending the city, unlike the vertical city wall that has to poke out its head if it wants to attack the enemy at the foot of the wall, which will expose the vital parts of the head and increase the risk of injury, and this inclined design does not have this risk.
The reason why the inside is vertical is because of the need to build a house. The house can be used to garrison soldiers, open shops, inns, warehouses, etc., and the roof can become the activity place of the garrison soldiers, and the load-bearing columns of these tower cranes will be the load-bearing columns of the house in the future.
The children listened carefully and asked questions about some details from time to time, and Wang Xuan also knew everything and couldn't wait to instill in them everything he knew.
Along the way, I met many workers who were carrying the remaining stones to the next construction site.
Some of the naughty children are still measuring their height with the length of the stone, laughing and laughing all the way, which is also when Wang Xuan is more relaxed.
When everyone came to the city wall of Jimen, the second housekeeper of the Du family hurriedly greeted him with a vote of people, and said, "Little Du Chun didn't know that the lord came to guide ......."
"Stop, I'm not here to guide, I'm here to see the progress. Wang Xuan stopped the brother's sycophants and asked directly about the progress.
"Back to my lord, the first phase of the wall in this part of the old city is almost completed, and now the finishing work is being done, and most of the manpower has already excavated the foundations in other areas. Coupled with the arrival of the dry rainy season, we estimate that it will be completed about ten days ahead of schedule, hehe, at least ten days ahead of schedule, please rest assured, relieved. ”
"Where's the overseer?" asked Wang Xuan.
"Well, in ...... In the lounge, rest in the lounge, the recent overseer has been more tired, and the physical strength is not enough. ”
"Lead the way. ”
"Yes, yes, I'll lead the way!"
After a while, he came to a small wooden house by the city wall, the guard opened the door and walked in first, Wang Xuan then followed into the house, and suddenly a disgusting smell of wine mixed with the smell of stinky feet penetrated into his nose, Wang Xuan couldn't help but look at the 'overseer' lying on the bed with a expressionless face.
"Tell him to get up and talk back. ”
So the guards lifted the sleeping big man up, and the big man was still in a state of confusion at this time, and opened his mouth to ask Du Chun if he had an accident.
Where did Du Chun dare to talk for a long time, and said first: "Lord Miao, Lord Miao is waiting for you outside to report on the construction of the Jimen City Wall, and please move." ”
After that, he still glanced at the Miao supervisor, and the pair of small triangular eyes were almost invisible.
At this time, Supervisor Miao's wine suddenly woke up, and he hurriedly put on his shoes and walked quickly to the door.
At this time, I saw Wang Xuan sitting on a stool staring at the six-foot-high city wall next to him, and Supervisor Miao was even more worried, and hurriedly took two steps forward and arched his hand: "I don't know that the lord came forward, but he failed to greet him, and his subordinates were panicked!"
"You're the overseer in charge of this section of the city wall at Jimen, tell me about the situation. Wang Xuan's head didn't turn.
"Yes, this section of the wall is about 560 meters long, the foundation is six feet deep and five feet wide, the ground is six feet high and three feet thick, and it is built of stone and concrete. The overseer replied fluently.
"What is the thickness of two meters on the ground?" asked Wang Xuan.
"Yes...... It's three feet. At this time, Supervisor Miao's voice trembled a little, his head lowered involuntarily, and his waist bent deeper.
"You've been drinking, haven't you?" Wang Xuan ignored his change and continued to ask.
With a plop, Supervisor Miao knelt in front of Wang Xuan, and his body swayed. This scared Du Chun on the side enough, and immediately knelt behind Supervisor Miao.
At this time, Wang Xuan had no interest in asking, and got up and walked towards the Government Affairs Yuan.
Seeing that Wang Xuan was leaving, Supervisor Miao mustered up the courage and suddenly rushed forward to Wang Xuan, hugged Wang Xuan's thigh tightly and said with tears in his eyes: "The Lord forgives the sin, the minister is also confused for a while, confused for a while, I have been deceived by Du Chun, please punish the Lord!"
Before the Miao supervisor could continue to beg for mercy, Wang Xuan's guards had already pulled him away, and the knife was unsheathed.
Seeing this, Supervisor Miao didn't dare to entangle anymore, so he had to kowtow vigorously to ask for guilt.
But Wang Xuan had gradually walked away until he could no longer see it.
"You, you've hurt me. Supervisor Miao glared angrily at the second steward of the Du family.
At this time, Du Chun understood the reason for the series of performances of Miao Supervisor, how could Wang Xuan, the lord of the land, inspect such a dirty and messy place, and also knew all the details of the construction well, which subverted his perception of the existence of the level of 'lord'. He suddenly realized that something was wrong.
Along the way, Wang Xuan was still discussing with the children what materials should be used to build the city wall to make it stronger, as if the previous scene was just an episode and had long been forgotten.
At this time, the boy who had previously answered the role of the tower crane had the courage to ask Wang Xuan: "Lord, how did you find that the thickness of the top of the city wall is insufficient?"
The children also wanted to know how Wang Xuan saw through this, so Wang Xuan replied with a smile: "We walked along the edge of the city wall all the way, and we encountered many workers carrying stones, which were the remaining materials for the construction of the city wall, and we had to move them to the next location to continue to use. ”
After speaking, looking at everyone, the children also recalled the previous scene and nodded one after another.
Wang Xuan continued: "The stones at this time should be used for the top of the first phase of the city wall, because the city wall must be built from the bottom up, and the stones in the lower part of the city wall should have been transported away. ”
The children seemed to have come to their senses at this point.
"The shortest length of the stones we saw before was also three feet, she was only eight years old when she was chubby, her father measured her height last time, and she also said that the length of these stones was the same as her height, do you remember?"
"Yes. "What happened not so long ago, the children were impressed.
"Then when we got to the part of the city wall of Jimen, I found that the length of the stones that were being carried here was much shorter, definitely less than three feet. I designed the construction plan and drawings of the wall, so I thought there must be something wrong with it, so as expected, I opened my mouth and showed my feet. ”
At this time, Wang Xuan has the feeling of being a famous detective Conan, which is also because only in front of these children can he have no scruples and release his complete self.
At this time, the children's faces were full of admiration, and they only heard the man yelling: "Fat girl, according to my observation and speculation, you ate leek-filled dumplings in the morning, yes or no? Don't deny it, I saw the leek leaves between your teeth, do you still want to quibble?"
The man who answered the question looked scared, looking like he was about to praise me.
The little fat girl quit and said with disgust: "The dumplings we ate together in the morning." ”
Everyone immediately burst into laughter, and the man who answered was so ashamed that his face turned red.
