Chapter 247 Look, here we come
Two days later, Shen Shishi (15:00-17:00), an open area north of Bianliang City was already full of people coming to watch the fun.
It is no wonder that there were many idle people in Bianliang City, and there were not many tens of thousands of candidates who came to take the exam from all over the country. Therefore, after the news spread completely, all the people in Bianliang City were waiting for it.
Of course, some of them came to watch the excitement, while more were for the eldest princess Wu Zixiang. Because according to the news from the market, the eldest princess will definitely watch this competition, so no matter what kind of mentality it is, those literati and scholars are flocking to it.
Moreover, even if you can't see His Highness the Great Princess, the group of blonde hair and blue eyes full of strange charm are enough to attract attention, so they are all interested in coming to see.
"Here, here we are! Look, it's the 'Yinshan Learn' them..."
With the noise at the scene, Zhang Shoucheng took the lead and led their Yinshan Society to appear.
Behind him was Niu Rongli, the main promoter of this competition. At this moment, he was sitting on the horse's back and was full of energy. Because, through this competition, he had already made a good approach to Zhang Shoucheng's line.
As for the reason, it is very simple, that is, Zhang Shoucheng urgently needs this competition to restore his image in the mind of His Highness the Great Princess. Niu Rongli happened to provide him with such an opportunity.
That's right, whether in Zhang Shoucheng or Niu Rongli's mind, they will win this competition 100%. This is true. After all, their "Yinshan Society" is also an expert in studying physics in Bianliang City.
As for the other party? That's just an ordinary Yangzhou student. If they were to recite poems correctly, they might not be their opponents, but when it comes to studying matters, they are really not afraid of anyone. Because even today's Minister of Works often need to find them to seek "support".
Because many of the errands in this department are closely related to the study of physics. For example, the construction of palaces, the construction of embankments, etc., these errands basically require support from the study of physics.
It’s just a pity that the current imperial examination system of the Great Zhou Dynasty is mainly based on the Jinshi exam. Therefore, even in the Ministry of Works, ordinary officials are from the Jinshi exam, and they don’t know what palace construction is.
Fortunately, in addition to these officials, there are many craftsmen with extremely old qualifications and rich experience under the Ministry of Works, so in general, there will be no mistakes.
However, if you really encounter something that craftsmen cannot solve, the Ministry of Works will more or less seek the "Yinshan Learning". However, in most cases, Zhang Shoucheng and others cannot help.
Zhang Shouchengsheng has a solid knowledge of the so-called "theoretical" one. That is, when the Ministry of Works comes to him, Zhang Shoucheng can basically say it is well-informed.
Therefore, in this case, the matter may not be fundamentally solved in the end, but it is to let those officials of the Ministry of Works have something to write in the memorial to the emperor.
This is actually a skill.
"Huh? They are all here. Why haven't you seen His Highness the Great Princess?"
"That's it! Could it be that His Highness the Great Princess won't appear tonight?"
...
Seeing Zhang Shoucheng's appearance, the crowd at the scene cheered.
But soon, when they found that Wu Zixiang was not among them, they were a little dissatisfied.
This is no wonder, because as mentioned earlier, a large part of the people at the scene today came for the eldest princess Wu Zixiang. If Wu Zixiang did not appear in the end, then you can imagine how disappointed they would be.
"How? Is there any news that His Highness the Great Princess has left the palace?"
In fact, at this time, let alone other audience members on the scene were concerned about when Wu Zixiang appeared. Even Zhang Shoucheng was very concerned about it. Because his "show" was made for Wu Zixiang. If Wu Zixiang did not appear in the end, wouldn't he have been working in vain?
However, the time is quite early. Therefore, Zhang Shoucheng was not overly worried. In his opinion, since today's competition question is related to "Flying Sky", the eldest princess Wu Zixiang should definitely appear. After all, this is also the thing she has paid the most attention to during this period. Unfortunately, Zhang Shoucheng's previous experiments ended in failure, so he now needs such a competition to save his face and at the same time restore Wu Zixiang's confidence in him.
"It's still... not yet. However, the news from the palace is that His Highness the Great Princess is already on standby in the palace!"
When Niu Rongli heard Zhang Shoucheng's question, he quickly said. If there is a golden branch and jade leaf like Wu Zixiang, any place to go, the movement is usually small. Therefore, he easily heard the news. However, it is not enough to just know that Wu Zixiang will watch this competition, because they lack a very important object of setting off. That is Qin Yong, who is the opponent.
When Niu Rongli and Qin Yong agreed to this competition, he had never even asked Qin Yong's name. He had just agreed to meet at this place at this time. Now, the news is already circulating in Bianliang City. If Qin Yong did not appear at that time, their wishful thinking would not be heard.
Of course, they can also say that Qin Yong has not appeared by then, which means that they have already won. However, strictly speaking, it is a bit unfair to win after all, so now, they are quite looking forward to Qin Yong's appearance in their hearts.
