Zhuge Jin taught Kong Rong some "construction management and overall planning methods" in public, in fact, it is not very profound, that is, it is used in the language textbooks of later generations, which describes the Song Dynasty people repairing the palace in one fell swoop.

Of course, the situation that Kong Rong is facing now is still different from the situation faced by the Song people in the Chinese textbook. In the textbooks, the old palace was burned, and the ruins had to be torn down and transported, and new building materials were brought in to build the palace.

Kong Rong is now a palace on the ground, and there is no workload to demolish the original ruins and remove construction waste.

But even so, the ideas are the same.

After the implementation, the final degree of labor and money saving is not so exaggerated, from "three battles in one fell swoop" to "two in one fell swoop", one less garbage removal freight savings.

I only listened to Zhuge Jin's eloquent introduction: "Now the giant wood and stone produced in Songshan and Funiu Mountain are transported from afar and transported to the Qingyi River wharf, and they need to be unloaded and transported by manpower. In the last few miles, shoulder to shoulder, how wasteful is the people's effort?

The soil needed to ram the palace wall is also dug from a distance, which is even more laborious and costly. Why not dig another tributary along the bank of the Qingyi River, take soil for ramming the palace wall, and at the same time allow the ships transporting wood and stone to reach the construction site, and then dredge the moat and replace the soil to fill the ditch after completion.

You can even consider expanding the structure of Yuxiu Pond and adding water features in the royal gardens, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds? Of course, whether this law is in line with the imperial court etiquette system, will it lead to the extravagance of His Majesty's garden, it will be up to Master Kong to judge it himself, the kid does not understand the etiquette law, and he does not dare to say anything......"

Zhuge Jin sprinkled a co-ordination, although the details of the co-ordination have not yet been involved, but he has heard the refreshment of hundreds of onlookers in the Yizhou County Mansion.

Everyone never expected that such an unknown gentleman from other places had just refuted the great troll You Heng who had been in the capital for several months, and he could teach Kong Rong, a master craftsman, how to save money and repair the palace.

And Kong Rong was stunned for a while, he didn't hear the flaws at all, but really realized that this measure could save a lot of money.

If he can make good use of it, then after the palace is repaired, Cao Cao will never dare to let him wear small shoes as a shield, and he will be a great contributor to ensuring His Majesty's peaceful residence!

And Kong Rong had also talked to Cao Cao before, Cao Cao hinted that he had painted a big cake for him, saying that he originally wanted to seal Kong Rong as a young man, but he only hated Kong Rong for losing the land of Beihai County, and he entered the court with a loss of land, and he could not be promoted directly.

Therefore, I hope that Kong Rong will work in the position of a master craftsman for a year and a half, and take on the task of repairing a new palace for the emperor. As long as he does a good job, on the day the palace is completed, he will be transferred and promoted to a very valuable Shaofu in Jiuqing.

Originally, Kong Rong was worried that a cunning guy like Cao Cao would find an excuse not to fulfill his promise in the future.

Now that he has this bargaining chip for overcompleting the task, the day of completion will be the time when he can be 100% promoted to Shaofu!

In this way, even if Kong Rong was not smart enough to be set off in public, he endured it and still treated Zhuge Jin with courtesy.

He said that he would listen to his suggestions and build a new palace for His Majesty more quickly and economically.

After using the new method, it will take a considerable amount of time to verify how much money can be saved.

But at least within three to five days, the initial clues can be seen, because as long as a ditch is dug and the boats carrying wood are allowed to sail directly to the temple repair site, a lot of labor can be saved immediately.

……

After Zhuge Jin refuted the slap in the face and taught Kong Rong in public, he immediately chose to return to the Xuzhou County Mansion in a low-key manner, and closed the door for a few days after that, so as not to cause any more trouble.

Even Chen Deng was pulled back by him, don't show up casually.

During this period, he only received one person's visit, that is, if Kong Rong was at the operational level, if he didn't understand something, he could come to him, and the others would not see him.

After all, what Zhuge Jin wants is not a reputation among the people in Xudu, what he wants is only the name of meritorious service through specific channels, so as to exchange for more bargaining chips in the follow-up court.

So, in the next three days, the legend of this mysterious sage spread in the circle of officials and scholars in Xu Du.

It is said that this person is the messenger of a certain state and county to enter Beijing to deliver the table, but the talent for debate is too balanced, and the talent for coordination is too concomitant.

On October 18, the above fame first reached Xun Yu's ears - the specific communication channel is, of course, relying on Xun Yu's subordinate Cao Peng Gengji, who is now responsible for conveying the expedition.

As mentioned earlier, Geng Ji often had to go to the Yizhou County Mansion, which was "waiting for the distribution center of officials seeking officials". Whenever Xun Yu wants to recruit someone again, Geng Ji has to go on a trip.

It can even be said that the reason why Zhuge Jin was able to get a chance to perform that day was because the last time Geng Ji went there and represented Xun Yu to conquer Mao Jue and Guoyuan, he stimulated You Heng, who had been waiting for a long time.

This made You Heng's mentality collapse, his behavior was out of shape, he was ridiculed by Zhuge Jin, and finally he was picked a topic and refuted.

Now, Geng Ji once again came to Yizhou County Mansion to convey Xun Yu's latest news of conquest.

After finishing his business, Geng Ji also felt tired, so he rested for a while in the wine house attached to the county mansion, drank a few sips before leaving. Then I heard the drinking friends on the left and right, all talking about the awesome deeds of the mysterious man.

"Is there such a person? That must be reported to Xun Lingjun, so that Xun Lingjun is also happy. That You Heng is too much of a thing, just because the court doesn't ask him to be an official, he has scolded Xun Lingjun, as well as Sima Boda, Zuo Peng of Sikong Mansion, and a bunch of other Cao Sikong henchmen in the past few months.

If Xun Lingjun knew that someone had refuted You Heng speechless, he would definitely have secretly felt that he had a sigh. ”

After Geng Ji heard this, he thought so in his heart, so he decided to go back and report as soon as possible.

Actually, with Xun Yu's character, he doesn't care about being talked about by a small fish and shrimp like Youheng, so he let You Heng go as a fart.

But Geng Ji, as a subordinate, must consider his direct leader. He can't omit things that can give anger to the leader.

……

So in the evening of the same day, when Shangshutai was about to finish work and had been busy all day, when Shangshu Ling Xunyu was about to return home, Geng Ji, who had just finished reporting his work, found an opportunity and naturally talked about the interesting things in the circle of officials and scholars in the capital recently.

Xun Yu didn't take it seriously at first, but when he heard that someone just sprayed Youheng, he smiled faintly, thinking that this was just another eloquent person, and the wicked need the wicked to grind.

However, when Xun Yu listened to Geng Ji relay more of the day's defense, his expression changed subtly.

"This person actually admires Mencius so much that the people are precious, the society is secondary, and the monarch is light? It is also argued that the 'beginning of virtue' lies in the unification of the world to benefit the people, so that the people will have fewer wars and less taxes? And not in the action of unifying the world itself?

This theory is quite novel, it has never been seen before, and it is indeed insightful, making up for the fallacy of Dong Zhongshu and Gongsun Hong confusing 'goal' and 'means'. Moreover, the idea of this argument is to benefit the people, which can serve as a warning to the people and the people. For 300 years, why didn't the predecessors think of it?

Could it be the summary of a certain compassionate predecessor Confucianism? But since the death of Lu Shangshu and Cai Zhonglang, it is rare in the world to think of such a breakthrough. Do you know how old the man is? Which state sent it? ”

Geng Ji saw that Xun Yu attached great importance to it, and secretly rejoiced in his heart, saying that his work was really worth it, and hurriedly said: "I couldn't find out the origin of that person's name, I heard that the tongue war was in a hurry that day, and everyone joined in halfway, and that person left after refuting You Heng, and he didn't even announce his name."

But everyone else said that judging by this person's appearance, he is still extremely young, and he is from the east, so is it the land of Qingxu? ”

Xun Yu touched his beard: "From the east?" Still young? Eastern Confucianism, now only Zheng Xuan and Zheng Shangshu, who have returned to their hometown Qingzhou, are they a certain disciple of Zheng Xuan and a certain junior disciple of Yuan Shao? Any other information? ”

Geng Ji thought about it again: "I heard that this person also publicly ordered Kong Wenju, who would be a master craftsman who came to persuade him that day, saying that Kong Wenju's method of coordinating the construction of the palace was too expensive, and he had a way to let Kong Wenju save tens of millions of extra money in labor costs and forced labor." ”

Xun Yu's eyes lit up completely: "Do you still have this ability?" To prepare the car, I personally went to the palace construction site to find Kong Wenju to have a look. ”

Geng Ji was taken aback, he didn't expect Xun Yu to attach so much importance to this, he hurriedly persuaded: "Ling Jun has worked so hard today, why don't you go tomorrow?" It's getting dark. ”

Xun Yu: "It's okay, it's hard work for the country, I'll go to Kong Rong now." ”
