Chapter 186: The Art of War Doesn't Work Either

Ye Ke smiled faintly and said, "Tell me your plan!"

Whether a person can do it or not, you can't look at what he says, but also look at his actions, and before acting, Ye Ke needs to look at his plan!

Chen Haidao: "Your Majesty, Linchuan County and Luling County are building roads, and they are still digging coal mines and iron mines, and they have enough manpower and materials. We can send people from Linchuan, and before that, hire people from Nankang to clean the foundations.

In addition, steel and cement do not have to worry, by His Majesty's medical guidance, Linchuan and Luling have been vigorously promoted, and the water transportation here is convenient, and it will not consume much time. As for wood and pure glass, there is no shortage of them.

Therefore, Weichen made a simple calculation, if we now deploy manpower, transfer reinforced concrete, and hire local lantern craftsmen to weave the skeleton - about ten days before and after. If you're lucky, maybe five days is enough. ”

Listening to Chen Hai's methodical answer, Ye Ke laughed, put a piece of jade talisman in his hand in Chen Hai's hand, and immediately ordered: "Go and prepare." I want to see a masterpiece. ”

Song Zhi and Song Yuzhi looked at each other, Song Que frowned slightly, but did not speak.

Ye Ke turned around and said, "Father-in-law, I heard that your martial arts and art of war are both famous in the world, and all the clans in Lingnan are very convinced of you, and let you command as if you were your arm. I don't know if that's the case?"

This matter is not a secret, with Song Que's identity, he naturally disdains lying, so he nodded and said, "Yes, what the emperor said is true." ”

Ye Ke clapped his hands: "Very good, since my father-in-law has a very high attainment in the art of war, and the three armies under him are also properly commanded, then!"

He paused and said with a smile: "I come from the north, and I can build a pavilion in ten days! If my father-in-law builds a pavilion on the west bank of Zhangshui within ten days, then I will agree to fight with my father-in-law here!"

"If not, then my father-in-law can only fight with my own disciple!"

He waved his hand, flicked his sleeves, walked out of the pavilion with his hands in his hands, and returned with his head held high.

His voice came from the air: "Ten days later, a grand party will be held here, and the erudite Confucians, heroes of the rivers and lakes, and business giants within a radius of three hundred miles will come here to see the ability of my father-in-law!"

Song Yuzhi glanced at Song Que, then at Ye Ke who was far away, finally narrowed his lips, and after saluting Song Que, he followed Ye Ke.

Song Zhi stood up, cautiously glanced at Ye Ke, who was already on the horse in the distance, and said to Song Que: "Big brother, isn't the emperor avoiding war, how can it be possible to build a pavilion within ten days?"

"Besides, this kind of operation is a study among businessmen, what does it have to do with the art of war?

Song Que was silent, seeing that Ye Ke had left his sight, he suddenly strode out of the pavilion and said, "Quickly gather skilled craftsmen, we will build a pavilion in the west of Zhangshui!"

"But, big brother, ......" Song Zhi shouted behind Song Que, but Song Que turned a deaf ear.

Song Zhi sighed, glanced in Xia Jun's direction, and muttered, "How is it possible to build a pavilion within ten days?"

The next day, on the east bank of Zhangshui, Chen Hai and other officials of the Ministry of Industry had already begun to act, and they hired 1,000 local people to start digging roads and clearing the foundations along the river. Many kite craftsmen began to gather and began to tie the steel columns with the materials at hand.

The west bank of Zhangshui was much slower, except that some craftsmen were transferred here, and then Song Zhi took a group of literati who knew architecture to look at the terrain, and they talked for a long time, if it weren't for Song Zhi's urging, they would almost not be able to get to the point.

During this period, Song Zhi specially went to visit the Xia Ministry of Industry, but unfortunately, he couldn't see any clue.

That night, Song Zhi returned to his residence to see Song Que and said, "Big brother, the east bank of Zhangshui is busy in full swing, but our west bank has been unable to start construction for a long time, this person is more angry than people!"

Song Que snorted coldly: "Use the butcher's knife and whip to urge them to speed up the progress!"

Song Zhi sighed: "Big brother, if it's okay in the past, but now as for the ten-day limit, even if you use your Heavenly Sword, Big Brother, you can't catch up with their progress!"

Song Que was silent and said, "Could it be that they can really build a pavilion within ten days?"

Song Zhi sighed and said, "I'm hanging! But no matter what, their progress is definitely ahead of me!"

Song Que snorted coldly and said, "That's what I said, how can a pavilion be built within ten days? I'm afraid that a pavilion can't be built!"

"No matter what, in ten days, I will ask Ye Ke for battle!"

"If he can't build a pavilion, see how he refuses my challenge!"

On the third day, Song Zhi did not give up, or went to the east bank of Zhangshui to take a look, at this time there was already a stone beam stretching into the river, the stone beam was about seven or eight zhang long, each of which was built with a large bluestone slab, about four zhang wide, just enough to allow three carriages to run in parallel.

At the end of the stone beam, craftsmen have begun to erect the steel frames, and some people are piling earth cofferdams on both sides of the stone beams. Song Zhi looked at it for a while, but he still couldn't see why, he shook his head and turned back.

In the following days, the scene on the riverside changed day by day, and by the fifth day, the stone beams had been paved and the cofferdam had been piled up.

On the sixth day, the pouring of concrete columns began, and a layer of floor slabs was laid around the central column......

In this way, one progress a day, and by the tenth day, a riverside pavilion has appeared in front of everyone. Due to the rush of time, the walls outside this Jiangxin Pavilion are made of purely wooden planks, of course, of the finest mahogany.

When Song Que led his subordinates to the east bank of Zhangshui, he was shocked by everything in front of him!

There is a magnificent pavilion standing majestically on the riverside, which is ten feet high and divided into three floors.

The dozen or so pillars on the first floor were made of cement that they had only heard of before, and the floor was made of square bricks, and a huge transparent glass was inlaid in the middle, through which the fish could be seen through the water.

The doors and windows on the second floor are very rough, after all, the time is urgent, but standing at the window, the breeze is coming, and the water is not rippling. Cool and fast!

As for the third floor, it is even more remarkable, the so-called climb high and look far away, the waves are not alarmed, the sky is bright up and down, a blue sky; the sand gulls fly and gather, the brocade scales swim; the shore Zhi Tinglan, lush and green.

The view is stunning!

"I often hear that His Majesty teaches his disciples, all of whom are both civil and military, and who also do things in advance, as if they are not moving like a mountain, and the construction is carried out, but it is as fast as the wind and as aggressive as fire. Today I can be considered to have learned. ”

Song Que stood there, sighing and saying the words he never disdained to say!

The wrinkles on his face are deep, as if he has aged several years in ten days!

The pavilion on the west bank of Zhangshui has not even come out of the foundation, but the pavilion on the east bank of Zhangshui has really been built!

Yes, it's just a matter of building a pavilion.

However, there is one of the most philosophical in the art of war, which is management!

The people under his control, both in terms of execution and work efficiency, are far lower than Ye Ke's subordinates!

Then, when it comes to fighting, no matter how good his military skills are, once his subordinates fail to execute effectively, then Ye Ke can lead the army to break the army of the Song lord.

The feat of fighting against the army of the Sui Dynasty thirty years ago will definitely not happen a second time!

The art of war is not as good, how do you mention the comparison in martial arts?

Ye Ke said: "Father-in-law, it turns out that you are not qualified to fight with me!"

Song Que's face was pale, and he was silent.

Ye Ke continued: "In terms of martial arts, I have three proud disciples, they are extremely talented, and they have their own strengths on my basis. ”

As soon as he raised his hand, he summoned two people, who were clearly Liu Heimin and Wang Fubao!

Ye Ke said with a smile: "These two people have already fifty percent of their martial arts, and they can fight with their father-in-law!"

Song Que smiled coldly: "I heard that Li Chunfeng, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, is your most proud disciple, I don't know if you can fight with me?"

Ye Ke's eyes froze, he glanced at Song Que deeply, and saw that Song Que was also looking at him, his eyes did not blink, just like ten days ago.

Ye Ke laughed: "Li Chunfeng is a famous person through the ages, a Taoist leader, and his martial arts attainments at this time are far above his father-in-law......

Song Que said loudly: "Your Majesty the Emperor, the old man is willing to challenge Li Chunfeng!"
