After being completely slapped in the face by Zhu Han's students, the craftsmen of the Ministry of Engineering were completely honest.

In the afternoon of the same day, Zhang Wenjie came over again to inform them that they were going to study. These craftsmen changed their pride in the past, and almost fought directly in order to compete for a place to study.

"I see who dares to fight with the old man!" Wei Lao knocked on the ground with his cane, looking like he was blowing his beard and staring.

Several young craftsmen laughed alongside.

"Old man, you're a lot older, don't take this opportunity with us young people?"

"You said that at your age, you are slow to learn anything, what if you delay the prince's affairs and the prince blames him? What's more, even if you have learned, you can take the test as the prince said...... What do you do? Zhang Yunjie added with a smile: "Engineer certificate, after you learn new architectural knowledge, you still need to take the exam, and after passing the engineer certificate, you can supervise the project of the new building." The craftsman hurriedly continued to persuade Wei Lao: "Old man, even if you pass the exam for this engineer certificate, you can't go back and forth to work at your age, isn't it a waste?" ”

"Nonsense, who said I can't work, old man? If you don't believe it, let's compare it now, I can move bricks now, and I can move it faster than you young people. "Many craftsmen were speechless, and said that you are still a brick at this age, in case of any accident, I am afraid that you will not go directly to Lord Yama to report.

The master craftsman Wei Chi couldn't help but persuade him: "Old Wei, you always have to give us young people a chance." ”…… The craftsmen were speechless again, Wei Chi was also a person who stepped into the coffin with half a foot, and he was embarrassed to call himself a young man?

Shameless. I always feel that the painting style of their Ministry of Engineering seems to be a little wrong.

"Fart, what do you mean by you little bastard, don't you hate my old man's old age? You forget, who taught you back then......" Wei Lao pointed at Wei Chi's nose and scolded.

When people live for a long time, there will be a very huge benefit. Many people around him are almost all his grandchildren or even great-grandchildren.

Such a person puts on old qualifications, even if he is already an official like Wei Chi, he can't stand it at all. But it was in vain to maintain this scolding.

The entire Ministry of Works, all the craftsmen with some identity and qualifications, were all swept away by Zhu Han.

These craftsmen all went to learn from the students of Huangzhuang how to build and accept new buildings. Zhu Han didn't seem to care much, and he didn't even show up a few times from beginning to end, but he was actually extremely concerned.

How to let them quickly get started to accept these knowledge, and what content is talked about in class, is almost all reviewed and formulated by Zhu Han himself.

The purpose is to let them master these as soon as possible and start building Yanjing as soon as possible. Fortunately, although Zhu Han's plan is huge, the buildings built are basically small buildings with two or three floors.

With the presence of a high-strength material like cement, as long as it is not overdone, there will be almost no problems.

The craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry are already good at these things. Zhang Yunjie and Shen Longliang just gave them a few lessons, and there were already thirty-four people who passed the engineer exam.

Of course, the gold content of this so-called engineer is very serious. Those who passed the exam did not leave, and still came to Zhu Han's temporary palace every day to listen to lectures.

This knowledge makes the craftsmen of Yanjing seem to have opened a new door. Without disturbing the students of Huangzhuang to teach these people, Zhu Han quietly called Liu Shenhong aside.

"How's it going? After today's exam, how many people can get the qualification certificate of engineer? Liu Shenhong thought about it in his heart: "Almost...... It can look like more than 100 people. Zhu Han was not too satisfied with this result.

However, there is no way around it. Don't look at these people are all craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry, but some of them don't know how to read.

When he knew the news, Zhu Han was shocked. They're great craftsmen! It can be said that it should be the most knowledgeable group of people in this era, except for scholars.

Such a person can be illiterate? After the initial shock, Zhu Han was also relieved, after all, many technologies in this era are passed on by word of mouth, and it doesn't seem to matter so much whether you know words or not.

After knowing this, Zhu Han decisively adjusted his strategy and re-cultivated those who knew words. The illiterate craftsman Zhu Han did not give up on them, but only carried out literacy first.

The construction of Yanjing is the most important project in the Ming Dynasty now, and there are not enough people.

"There are fewer people, but it's barely enough. Go and inform the merchants that they are ready to start work now. Liu Shenhong didn't do it immediately, but looked a little worried: "Lord Wang, is it a little too anxious?" I think these people have a bit of a short time to learn, in case something goes wrong......"

"What do you think could go wrong?" Zhu Han did not answer the rhetorical question.

"This ......" Liu Shenhong was speechless for a while, hesitated for a while and said: "We have only been teaching the people from the Ministry of Industry for a few days, and those people from the Ministry of Industry are going to teach other craftsmen, is it really not a problem?" Zhu Han smiled silently: "Then do you think that if something goes wrong, are we more worried, or are those businessmen more worried?" For this question, Liu Shenhong didn't know how to answer for a while.

Zhu Han didn't mean to let him answer: "As long as we give enough detailed standards, the remaining problems will naturally be solved by those merchants." If it fails to pass the acceptance, the imperial court will only lose some time, while the merchants will lose real money. ”

"For the sake of money, these merchants will try to keep costs down and make as much profit as possible. And the first time you can pass the acceptance, this is the most cost-saving. "If this were in the future life, Zhu Han would never dare to do this.

It will definitely be those merchants, and there will be no bones left in the pit. But now it's the Ming Dynasty, and the life and death of the whole family of the businessmen is basically a matter of his words.

On the surface, there is the supervision of the craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry, and in the secret, there are Jinyi guards who do everything they can. If this is the case, those businessmen will dare to come nonsense.

Zhu Han smiled coldly and said murderously: "When you talk to those merchants, you can find a way to reveal the meaning of this king to them." ”

"If they do things honestly, how much money they can make depends on their ability, but if they dare to make this king, then don't blame this king for not being merciful." Ying Tianfu.

Zhu Biao, who was presiding over state affairs, received news from Yanjing.

"It must be Uncle Huang's side, and he has done something amazing, show me quickly." couldn't wait to open the file, just by taking a look, Zhu Biao almost didn't bare out of his eyes.

"Uncle Huang's students actually beat the master of the Yanjing Ministry of Industry, is this really fake?" He didn't doubt Zhu Han, after all, the miracles created by his imperial uncle were simply not too many.

It's just that the news is too shocking, and he can't believe it. Those students, Zhu Biao has seen a few before, although he is knowledgeable, but after all, he is only a scholar.

How come they even know what the craftsman does? Just as he was sighing, the eunuch outside suddenly screamed: "Your Majesty has arrived." "My own father is here, how dare Zhu Biao slack off?

Put down the music as soon as possible and go out to greet it.

"I've seen my father!"

"Get up." Zhu Yuanzhang replied without saltiness, raised his leg and walked inside. Sitting in the position that Zhu Biao had done before, he looked down and saw the piece about Zhu Han.

"It seems that you also know what your imperial uncle did in Yanjing, what do you want to tell us."

"Ahh Zhu Biao raised his head in surprise, and for a moment he didn't understand what his father meant.

However, Zhu Biao knew that he must not say that he did not know at this time, otherwise, he would have to be beaten.

"This ...... This ......" racked his brains for a long time, but he still couldn't figure out what his father was going to do, so he simply said nonsense: "I think Uncle Huang is more suitable for teaching and educating people." These students in Huangzhuang don't see how attentive Uncle Huang is. But their skills are even more powerful than those craftsmen in Yanjing. ”

"I'm afraid they're not bad at learning in other areas. If you had stayed in Yingtianfu ...... had been at the beginning" Speaking of this, Zhu Biaomeng closed his mouth.

It was his father who let these people go to the north, and now he is saying this, isn't he blatant accusing his own father?

A trace of anger suddenly appeared on Zhu Yuanzhang's face, but in the end he forcibly pressed back.

"Nothing else?" Zhu Biao was about to cry, and his heart said that it would be okay to give some hints?

However, this thought could only be thought about in his heart, and he would never dare to say it.

"Why hasn't there been any movement again?" Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't see Zhu Biao's virtue, and the anger that he had just suppressed began to bubble out again.

"As the crown prince of the dynasty, if something happens that the minister can't solve, won't you even let out a fart? We are heroes in our lives, and your mother is also a woman who doesn't let her eyebrows, why did she give birth to such a forward-looking kid as you? Zhu Yuanzhang pointed to Zhu Biao's nose and reprimanded him for half an hour, making Zhu Biaoxun stunned.

Until Zhu Yuanzhang left, he was still confused. My father came over today, could it be that he did it to scold him?

Zhu Yuanzhang returned to his dormitory, and Ma Xiuying sent a hot towel to let Zhu Yuanzhang wipe his face and relieve fatigue.

"Juhachi, is what you said too vague this time? Biao'er him, I'm afraid he may not be able to understand what you mean. Zhu Yuanzhang wiped his face vigorously a few times: "There is no way, he can't always live under our wings." ”

"There are some things that he still has to figure out by himself after all. This kid is smart and smart, but he has been living in our shadow, too smooth. If he had known this, it would have been better to let Qiwu force him to rebel. As soon as the words fell, he was hammered by Ma Xiuying: "You just mess around by yourself, you are still pulling Qiwu." Others want their children to be honest, you are good, and you change tricks every day. ”

"Ordinary children, of course it's good to be honest. But he is our son, and he will inherit this great tomorrow in the future, so he is too honest and generous. ”

"They are all people who are princes, but if you look at the people around him, which one of them really died for him Zhu Biao? has been a prince for so long, and he doesn't even have a person who can really be trusted. ”

"Look at those students in Qiwu, let's not talk about their skills. Believe it or not, even if one day, if one of them I let them die for Qiwu, they won't even frown. "Ahh

Zhu Han, who was far away in Yanjing, sneezed for no reason. Liu Shenhong, who was reporting the progress of Yanjing's construction to Zhu Han, asked with concern: "Lord Wang, have you been too tired lately?" Zhu Han's face flushed slightly, and then he immediately said righteously: "In order to build the new capital of the Ming Dynasty, it is nothing for me to work a little harder." This matter is related to the great cause of my Ming Dynasty, you all cheer me up, there must be no omission, understand? ”

"Lord Wang......" Liu Shenhong's eyes were red: "Please rest assured, Lord Wang, we will never dare to slack off." If I find anyone who dares not to do his best, I will fly to his skin! ”

"Huh? Why is your face getting worse and worse, why don't I ask the imperial doctor to show you? Zhu Han straightened his face directly: "You don't know the king's medical skills, and you still need other doctors?" "Zhu Han's deeds of treating the plague with antibiotics and miracle medicines are still talked about until now.

"But the prince, the doctor does not heal himself......"

"Okay, don't worry about this kind of small, let's talk about the progress of those projects first." Zhu Han bluntly changed the subject.

Seeing that his prince was so insistent, Liu Shenhong could only continue helplessly: "Lord, under the guidance of the engineers of the Ministry of Engineering, those craftsmen have finished laying the foundation, and some of them are making fast progress, and they have even begun to build the above-ground part. ”

"Oh?" Zhu Han became interested at this time: "The progress of these guys is faster than this king expected, not bad." was happy about the construction progress, and seeing Liu Shenhong's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, Zhu Han said angrily: "If you have anything to say, just say it directly, what does your mother-in-law look like?" Liu Shenhong hesitated slightly: "Lord Wang, according to the experience of the craftsmen in the Ministry of Industry during this time, the construction cost may be about two percent lower than we expected before." ”

"What you said is true?" Zhu Hanmeng sat up straight. Although he knew that these merchants would definitely bring him a surprise, he did not expect that there would be good news so soon.

"How did they do it?" Liu Shenhong looked strange: "Through experiments, they got some new formulas, such as adding cinder ash, reducing the amount of cement used, controlling the use of gravel, and rationally arranging the construction site, etc., to reduce the construction cost." Even if he saw it with his own eyes, Liu Shenhong still couldn't believe that those greedy businessmen who had never been in contact with a new school for a day could do it to this extent.

"Especially a guy named Yang Fengnian, their project has not yet started, because they have experimented with a new cement formula, and they have made a lot of money."
