Chapter 398: The Contest Begins

Zhang Yunjie really hadn't thought about this before. As a person personally trained by Zhu Han, although he is still young, his knowledge is definitely one of the best.

The reason why he put forward this condition is simply that he thinks that these people will never lose.

The more I learn the knowledge imparted by Zhu Han.

The more they will be able to realize how terrible that knowledge really is. In some respects, this knowledge definitely surpasses those old-fashioned scholars, and they don't know how many times the way of Confucius and Mencius they have learned.

It's not that they don't know that the sky is high and the earth is thick.

In fact, although Zhu Han never took Confucianism seriously.

However, the new education they experienced never completely rejected Confucianism.

Even when they are studying, they have a special lesson every day to talk about these things.

When taking the exam, there will also be a special exam.

Some of them are also able to write beautiful articles.

But the more they learn the knowledge imparted by Zhu Han, the more clear Zhang Wenjie and others who have received a new type of education will be.

What a huge gap there is between Confucianism and the new learning they have learned.

"I've seen His Royal Highness, the prince Chitose Chitose Chitose!"

Everyone present respectfully saluted Zhu Han.

On formal occasions, even the students who graduated from Huangzhuang did not dare to slack off.

"Get up." Zhu Han said: "This king is just coming to see the excitement today, as for how you will compete, what is the result of the competition, this king will not ask."

Believe it or not, Zhu Han first set the tone for his arrival.

The officials of the Ministry of Industry of Yanjing slandered in their hearts, and they naturally listened to these scenes with their left ears and their right ears, and they didn't believe a word.

Zhao Helun, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, said with a smile: "These children are so energetic at a young age, and it is also a blessing for me in the future. It is worthy of being trained by the prince himself, and he has the ambition that a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers."

His words seemed to be praising the students of Huangzhuang, but in fact he was mocking them for not being able to do anything.

Zhu Han didn't seem to hear the ridicule of the Ministry of Works: "Young man, if you don't even have this momentum, it won't be a climate.

"By the way, this king has only heard that you are going to compete, but what is this specific comparison, is there a charter?"

Regarding Zhu Han's question, Zhao Helun told Gong Jing, but in fact, he explained very disdainfully: "Back to the prince, the masters don't want to bully these children. So, it's up to these kids to decide how they want to fight."

"That's right." Zhu Han touched his chin and thought about it, and beckoned to his guard: "Go and find Liu Shenhong."

After a while, Liu Shenhong walked quickly to Zhu Han: "I've seen the prince."

Zhu Han smiled and asked, "How are you preparing for the competition?" It's a rare opportunity to learn from the great masters."

"Win or lose aside, as long as you guys can learn one-twelfth of the skills of the masters, it will be enough for you to use for the rest of your life."

Good guy, where can Liu Shenhong not understand what his prince means?

If you lose the competition with the Yanjing Ministry of Industry this time, there will definitely be no good fruit to eat in the future.

"Back to the prince, I have already asked the students' opinions. The students felt that we should not take advantage of the old-timers."

"So this time, we're going to pick a few projects and draw lots to decide. In one big event, we have a total of three competitions."

Seeing that Liu Shenhong stretched out three fingers very confidently, Zhu Han asked with interest, "What is it better than?"

Liu Shenhong quickly explained, "We intend to calculate the preliminary preparation of the competition atmosphere, construction skills, and quality acceptance according to the progress of the project."

"Wait...... "Wait beside the Ministry of Works, a man dressed in an eight-grade official mansion with dark skin who looked like he was more a farmer than an official asked in confusion.

"I understand the pre-preparation and construction skills, but what about this quality acceptance

What's going on. Whether a house is built well or not, the craftsman himself knows in his heart, and whether it needs to be judged by others."

The Lord looked at Zhao Helun, "Who is this?"

"Back to the prince, this person is the master craftsman Wei Chi of our Ministry of Works, and Lord Wei once participated in the construction of the Mengyuan Palace." The Ministry of Industry Shangshu hurriedly introduced to Zhu Han.

"I see." Zhu Han bowed slightly. Looking at Wei Chi's age, he knows that he is definitely an old qualification.

"Liu Shenhong, you explain it to Lord Wei."

"It's the prince." Zhu Han spoke, and Liu Shenhong naturally didn't dare to slack off: "Whether it is a house built by a master and a craftsman, or a bridge or a highway, in the final analysis, it is all for people to use."

"When we craftsmen build in the Ming Dynasty, we often use personal experience as the standard. As a result, a lot of things are of varying quality."

"If it's just an ordinary house, bridge, road or something, it may not have that much impact, but if it is replaced by a more important project, the situation will be more troublesome."

"For example, the imperial court built the Yellow River water conservancy ......"

"Ahem!" Liu Shenhong was still explaining to Wei Chi that Zhao Helun, the secretary of the Yanjing Ministry of Industry, suddenly coughed violently and directly interrupted him.

After all, he is the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and although Liu Shenhong is dissatisfied, he did not express it directly.

When Zhao Helun was almost coughing, he continued to explain: "For example, the construction of the embankment of the Yellow River......

"Ahem, ahem!" Just after the beginning, Zhao Helun began to cough again.

Zhu Han said impatiently, "Zhao Shangshu has something to say?"

"No ......" Zhao Helun subconsciously wanted to deny it.

But after coming into contact with Zhu Han's cold gaze, he knew that his careful thinking could not hide from His Royal Highness the British King.

So he lowered his voice and explained, "Your Royal Highness, the matter of the Yellow River is unlucky......

Zhu Han was willing to build the embankment of the Yellow River, which was one of the important reasons for the fall of the Mengyuan Dynasty. These old bureaucrats, when they really ask them to do practical things, they are often afraid to do nothing well.

But let them engage in these things on the scene, and they are shrewd like foxes one by one.

One or two plausible words can make them associate a lot of things.

"There is nothing taboo or taboo, and I am not Meng Yuan. Liu Shenhong, you continue!"

Liu Shenhong cleared his throat: "Lord Wei, take the embankment of the Yellow River as an example. Once the flood comes, the dikes in some places are almost vulnerable. And in some places, the dikes, even if the waves are monstrous, are still impregnable. How so?"

Wei Chi retorted without thinking: "This is a big fallacy, the Yellow River stretches for thousands of miles, and each section of the embankment has a different topography and different pressure, how can it be the same?"

For this question, Liu Shenhong has long been prepared: "Adults think it's because of the different terrain, but as far as I know, this is not the case."

"In the twenty-fifth year of the Mengyuan Dynasty, the Yellow River overflowed, and the embankment of the Jinxiang River burst when it encountered water. Two years later, in the twenty-seventh year of Zheng, the Yellow River was flooded again, but this time the Jinxiang embankment performed much better than before, and it lasted for three days before it was washed away by the flood."

"This ......," Wei Chi hesitated, "Maybe the previous river embankment was in disrepair, so it was washed away by the flood?"

"It's not." Liu Shenhong decisively denied: "The embankment of Jinxiang was built in the 21st year of Zhizheng, and it took no more than four years before and after, even if the local yamen was negligent in management, there would not be so much difference."

"What's more, twenty years later, corruption in the Mengyuan court has become more and more serious. Under normal circumstances, this embankment should not be as good as it was before."

Hearing Liu Shenhong say this, many officials announced by Yanjing had a little bad looks.

Why do they think that this Liu Shenhong seems to be referring to Sang and scolding Huai?

At the same time, I was also shocked by Liu Shenhong's erudition and strong memory. For Meng Yuan's various situations, he can tell the story.

Even they can't do that.

"And why do you say that?" Wei Chi retorted a little unconvinced.

"Lord Wei, the reason why it has become like this is not necessarily because those craftsmen don't care. In the past, craftsmen often relied more on their own experience when building various projects."

"It can be limited by the different qualifications of each person and the different experiences of each person. Naturally, the control of the project is also very different."

"Some standards are applicable to other rivers, but they can be placed on the edge of the Yellow River, which is inevitably a little insufficient."

"The prince once taught us how to avoid this kind of problem caused by everyone's surprise."

"Promote senior craftsmen, as construction engineers, set a set of standards in advance, and everyone strictly follows the standards. This can effectively avoid problems that arise due to differences in personal perception."

"Well said!" Wei Chi listened to the eyebrows flying, and slapped his thighs and applauded.

He has been a craftsman all his life, and even participated in the rebuilding of the Mengyuan Palace, which was damaged for various reasons, and some palaces.

The most clear thing is that as long as there are more people, all kinds of strange ideas will come.

If it can really be implemented according to a unified standard, it is a good thing for many large-scale projects.

Zhao Helun, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, glared at Wei Chi viciously.

You guy pay attention to your identity, as a member of the Ministry of Works, don't be fooled by the other party.

Sensing the dissatisfaction of his top boss, Wei Chi hurriedly reined in his thoughts and pretended to be calm: "What you said also makes sense, we have no opinion on the content of the third competition."

Zhu Han yawned, "Now that you all understand, let's start the game. Who, to write a few tags. Don't say that the students of this king are bullying you, this person who signed your Ministry of Works will draw it."

[The app that has been running stably for many years is comparable to the old version of the book-chasing artifact, which is used by old bookworms.]

The geometry of the craftsmen, and how long it will take to build.

Looking at the lively Zhu Han, the corners of his mouth twitched without self-examination.

This feeling.

Why is it so similar to the application questions of later generations of elementary schools?

After hearing the question, the students of Huangzhuang immediately began to get busy, and carried out various calculations in an orderly manner.

While they were calculating, a craftsman from the Ministry of Works had already stepped forward.

"Lord Qiyu, the villain is finished."

Although this person is also a craftsman, he is different from Wei Chi, he is not an official, so he can only call himself a grass man or a villain.

Zhao Helun was a little proud, looked at the Huangzhuang students who were still calculating, and deliberately pinched his tone: "There is a result so soon? Say it!"

The craftsman didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly said, "Lord Hui, it is estimated that the construction of such a bridge will require 5 million catties of stone, 10,000 people, and the construction period will be four years."

The reason this man answered so quickly was because he was in charge of the bridge project.

How big the bridge was, how many stone craftsmen would be needed, and how long it would take to build it, he could estimate it at a glance.

"You go down first." The folds on Zhao Helun's smiling faces were piled together: "Lord Wang, this game seems to be a small victory for the craftsmen of our Ministry of Industry."

Other officials of the Ministry of Industry also think similarly to Zhao Helun.

The question had just come out, and the officials of their Ministry of Industry had already finished answering. And those students of Zhu Han still don't know what they are doing, and they haven't given an answer.

This gap is simply not too obvious, right?

Before, they were a little worried, since these people were specially cultivated by His Royal Highness the British King, maybe they really had some great ability.

Now it seems that they are simply overthinking.

"Everything, wait for my students to calculate the results." Zhu Han said undeniably.

His words.

But it was regarded by the officials of the Ministry of Industry as a dead duck's hard mouth.
