Chen Xi's execution ability is very strong in certain situations. Just like today, when such a big thing happened, Chen Xi packed up the things that should be packed at home and took his family out of Yecheng under the escort of Hua Xiong.
Of course, Liu Bei had no intention of sending anyone to harass Chen Xi. After some deliberation with Jia Xu and Li You, the situation was almost figured out.
"Zijian, take the official road. You don't have to go directly to Mount Tai. Go to the Yellow River Ferry first, and then go to Mount Tai." After leaving Yecheng, Chen Xi warned Hua Xiong.
"Yellow River Ferry? Where is Gongyou?" Hua Xiong asked. At this time, there were nearly ten more carriages in their group.
"Yes, that's right there. It's been a year. Gongyou has been studying bridge construction. I don't know what the current situation is. The water conservancy network construction has kicked out the Li family, so Gongyou can only take the lead." Chen Xi nodded and replied.
"I heard that after the construction design document was finalized at the end of last year, it has been under construction until now, but I don't know the current situation." Hua Xiong thought for a while and said, to what extent Sun Qian has been engaged in bridge construction now, Hua Xiong is so unreliable. Those who care can only estimate based on rumors.
Although the construction of a bridge on the Yellow River did not seem to cause much trouble on Liu Bei's side, in fact many people paid attention to it. Even when Sun Qian came up with the design book at the end of last year, many people who were proficient in bridges The master builder of the building came with his own tools to help.
It is precisely because these people are knowledgeable that they understand the difficulty of building a bridge, and it is precisely because they are knowledgeable that they can understand Sun Qian's design document.
Although these craftsmen are basically illiterate and don't have much scientific description, their many years of experience allow them to easily judge right from wrong when they get Sun Qian's design book.
To put it simply, these people are all practical and wild people who do not understand what science is. But when science is put in front of them, they only need to apply their own experience to know whether it is right or wrong. Therefore, many craftsmen who know how to build bridges They're all here.
Well, they said they were here to help. In fact, everyone knew in their hearts that they were actually here to steal their skills. There was no way that Sun Qian's design book was too high-end. Although only a part of the design was released, this part of the design was enough to make this person happy. The group becomes interested.
Isn't that how you all come here to work for free and steal from your master? After learning, these are the guys who will make a living in the future. As for working for free, that is not a problem at all. If you are not allowed to bring your own dry food, giving you the opportunity to steal from your master is already quite a face.
What's more, when he arrived at the place, Sun Qian not only didn't mind stealing from his master, he was also willing to condescend to communicate with these old men and let them learn more. Of course, the reward was not too short, so the craftsmen who gathered here would all This time I regard the bridge repair as my own work.
Many craftsmen are even willing to join Sun Qian's construction team and no longer take jobs privately. However, for this reason, Sun Qian has also been working on the establishment recently. It is better to leave professional matters to professionals.
"Go and have a look. If Gongyou can get away, then the water conservancy network will be handed over to Gongyou. There are some things that need to be discussed with him. He is the one who knows the most about construction among us." Chen Xi slowly returned to the carriage.
On the other side, Sun Qian was having lunch with a group of people. He was sitting on the floor, just mixed in with a group of craftsmen. He could not see the morale he once had, and the long time in the wind and sun made him look a little bit... Vicissitudes of life.
"Continue working after eating, and build another section today!" Sun Qian said to the several master craftsmen beside him after finishing the fish soup in the bowl.
These master craftsmen can be said to be Sun Qian’s greatest achievement in such a long time. It can be said that those who can be called master craftsmen in this era are all the best in the same industry, and they are among those who cannot lack both talent and hard work. Role.
To put it simply, the Chen family has a great business and has inherited it for so many years. Later, when the family was divided, more than 4,000 craftsmen were given to Chen Xi. However, among the more than 4,000 craftsmen, there was only one real master craftsman, and the others were at most respected by others.
As Sun Qian's progress in building bridges on the Yellow River became increasingly obvious, good craftsmen would drag their families over from time to time, and some great craftsmen even packed their apprentices and brought them here for practical learning.
"Okay." A master craftsman who looked to be in his thirties, with muscles all over his body that made his bronze muscles reflect in the sun, drank the fish soup in one gulp and stood up.
"It is estimated that we will be able to build it in another two years." An old man estimated the construction period and said, "I never thought that I would be able to participate in building a bridge on the Yellow River in my lifetime. My life has been in vain."
"Brother Yuan is wrong to say that. Not only do I want to build one on the Yellow River, I will also build one on the Yangtze River when I cross the Yangtze River!" Sun Qian said with a smile, "Take a rest, take a rest, and we will start work later."
"Since I was born, I have never seen so many craftsmen building something together." Chen Que, the only clear master craftsman among the craftsmen given to Chen Xi by the Chen family, also spoke at this time. He is now five years old. More than ten years old.
"Yes, the more than 10,000 people directly involved in building the bridge are all craftsmen, and they have all passed the level of apprentices." The elder shook his head and said, "When Shi Chang was repairing the outer house, he mobilized so many people. , but when it comes to craftsmen, there are only more than a thousand."
"I don't dare to let the civilians come in." Sun Qian said with a wry smile, "They don't understand this. If they make a mistake in any step, it will be over. So none of the people involved in the construction here are civilians. I will finish it later." I asked the officials to give them a craftsman rating."
In fact, this craftsman rating is part of the household registration, but Li You's household registration involves too many aspects, and there are some less important parts, so he didn't pay too close attention to it. After all, time was too tight.
"After all, we are building a bridge on the Yellow River, so we should be careful. If we let the civilians get on it and accidentally make a mistake, then our efforts will be completely wasted." Chen Que thought for a moment and nodded. It was not the same before. There have been cases where civilians have tricked people to death.
"For things like rating, actually, Mr. Sun, I have always felt that the ratings under Mr. Xuande are a bit inappropriate. Mr. Xuande lets inexperienced officials do the ratings..." The old man is also older, and he also knows Sun. Qian Qian has a good temper, so he revealed this matter that he had been holding on to for a long time.
"Indeed, officials do not understand craftsmen, and most craftsmen are illiterate. It is impossible to take exams like the previous math and political science exams, so the ratings and levels will be very different." With the words of the patriarch, Other master craftsmen also took this matter aside.
The important reason why Liu Bei's rating progress is unfavorable is that laymen and insiders look at the problem from different perspectives, and they can't even understand what the insiders want to show.
