Zhang Yunjie had never thought about this before. As a person who was personally trained by Zhu Han, although he is still young, his knowledge is definitely among the best.
The reason why he put forward this condition was simply that he believed that they would never lose.
The more I learn the knowledge imparted by Zhu Han.
The more they can clearly realize how terrifying that knowledge is. In some aspects, this knowledge is definitely many times better than those old-fashioned scholars who have learned the Tao of Confucius and Mencius.
It's not that they don't know how high the sky is and how high it is.
In fact, Zhu Han never paid attention to Confucianism.
However, the new education they experienced never completely rejected Confucianism.
Even when they were studying, they had a special class every day to talk about these things.
During the exam, there will also be specialized exams.
Some of them can also write beautiful articles.
But the more they study the knowledge imparted by Zhu Han, the clearer it becomes for people like Zhang Wenjie and others who have received new education.
What a huge gap there is between Confucianism and the new learning they learned.
"I have met His Royal Highness the King of England. He is a thousand years old!"
Everyone present saluted Zhu Han respectfully.
In formal occasions, even the students who graduated from Huangzhuang did not dare to show any slightness.
"Everyone, get up." Zhu Han said calmly: "I am here today just to watch the fun. As for how you compete and what the result will be, I will not ask."
Whether they believe it or not, Zhu Han first set the tone for his arrival.
The officials of the Yanjing Ministry of Industry were secretly complaining. Naturally, they listened to the words in one ear and did not believe a word of it.
Zhao Helun, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, smiled and said: "These children are so energetic at such a young age, which is also a blessing for our future in the Ming Dynasty. They are worthy of being trained by the prince himself. They have the ambition of a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers."
His words seemed to be praising the students of Huangzhuang, but they were actually mocking them for not overestimating their abilities.
Zhu Han seemed not to have heard the sarcasm of the Minister of Industry: "Young people, if you don't even have this momentum, you won't be able to achieve anything.
"By the way, I have only heard that you are competing for a test, but what exactly is this competition? Is there any rules?"
Regarding Zhu Han's question, Zhao Helun told him respectfully, but in fact he explained with great disdain: "Back to the prince, the master craftsmen don't want to bully these children. Therefore, it is up to these children to decide how they want to fight."
"That's it." Zhu Han touched his chin and thought for a while, then waved to his bodyguard: "Go and find Liu Shenhong."
After a while, Liu Shenhong quickly came to Zhu Han and said, "I have met the prince."
Zhu Han smiled and asked: "How are you preparing for the competition? This is a rare opportunity to learn from the masters."
"Putting aside winning or losing, as long as you guys can learn one-tenth of the skills of the masters, it will be enough for you to use for the rest of your life."
Good guy, how could Liu Shenhong not understand what his prince meant?
If we lose this competition with the Yanjing Ministry of Industry, we will definitely not get any good fruits in the future.
"Back to your lord, I have already asked the students for their opinions. The students feel that we should not take advantage of those seniors."
"So this time, we will select several projects and then draw lots to decide. Under a big project, we will have a total of three competitions."
Seeing Liu Shenhong holding out three fingers very confidently, Zhu Han asked with interest: "What are you comparing to?"
Liu Shenhong quickly explained: "We plan to focus on three aspects: preliminary preparation and calculation of competition atmosphere, construction skills, and quality acceptance according to the progress of the project."
"Wait a minute..." Next to the Minister of Industry, a man wearing an eighth-grade official's attire, with dark skin and looking more like a farmer than an official, asked doubtfully.
"I already know the early preparation and construction techniques, but what about the quality inspection? The craftsmen themselves know whether a house is good or not, do they still need others to judge it?"
The Lord looked at Zhao Helun: "Who is this?"
"Back to your lord, this person is Wei Chi, the master craftsman of our Ministry of Industry. Mr. Wei once participated in the construction of the Meng Yuan Palace." The Minister of the Ministry of Industry quickly introduced to Zhu Han.
"I see." Zhu Han nodded slightly. Looking at Wei Chi's age, you can tell that he is definitely a veteran.
"Liu Shenhong, please explain to Mr. Wei."
"It's the prince." Zhu Han spoke, and Liu Shenhong naturally did not dare to neglect: "Master Wei, whether the craftsmen are building houses or building bridges and highways, in the final analysis, they are all for people's use."
"When we Ming craftsmen build, we often use personal experience as the standard. This also results in the uneven quality of many things."
"If it's just an ordinary house, bridge or road, it might not have such a big impact, but if it's a more important project, the situation will be more troublesome."
"Just like the imperial court building water conservancy projects on the Yellow River..."
"Ahem!" Liu Shenhong was still explaining to Wei Chi when Zhao Helun, the Minister of Industry in Yanjing, suddenly coughed violently and directly interrupted him.
After all, he was the Minister of Industry. Although Liu Shenhong was dissatisfied, he did not express it directly.
When Zhao Helun was almost done coughing, he continued to explain: "Just like the construction of the Yellow River embankment..."
"Cough cough cough!" Zhao Helun started coughing again.
Zhu Han said impatiently: "What does Zhao Shangshu have 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 little thoughts could not be hidden from His Royal Highness.
So he lowered his voice and explained: "Your Majesty, the Yellow River is unlucky..."
Zhu Han understood and built the embankment of the Yellow River, which was one of the important causes of the fall of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty. These old bureaucrats were often timid and unable to do anything well if they were asked to do anything practical.
But let them do these things in the scene, and every one of them is as shrewd as a fox.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! One or two specious words can make them think of many things.
"There are no taboos or taboos. I, Ming Dynasty, am not Meng Yuan. Liu Shenhong, you continue!"
Liu Shenhong cleared his throat: "Master Wei, take the dams of the Yellow River as an example. Once floods come, the dams in some places are almost vulnerable. But the dams in some places are still impregnable even if the waves are huge. Why is this?
"
Wei Chi retorted without thinking: "This statement is completely false. The Yellow River stretches for thousands of miles. Each section of the river embankment has different topography and different pressures. How can it be the same?"
Regarding this problem, Liu Shenhong was already prepared: "Your Excellency thinks this is because of the different terrain, but as far as I know, this is not the case."
"In the twenty-fifth year of the reign of Emperor Zheng of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty, the Yellow River overflowed, and the Jinxiang river embankment collapsed when it encountered water. Two years later, in the twenty-seventh year of Zhengzheng, the Yellow River flooded again. This time, the performance of the Jinxiang embankment was better than before.
It held a lot of weight, and it lasted three days before it was destroyed by the flood."
"This..." Wei Chi hesitated: "Maybe it was because the previous river embankment was in disrepair for a long time, so it was washed away by the flood?"
"No." Liu Shenhong denied decisively: "The river embankment in Jinxiang was built in the 21st year of Zhizheng, and it took no more than four years. Even if the local government failed to manage it, it would not be so different."
"What's more, twenty years later, the corruption in the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties became more and more serious. Under normal circumstances, this embankment should not be as good as the one built before."
Hearing what Liu Shenhong said, many officials announced by Yanjing looked a little ugly.
Why do they feel that Liu Shenhong seems to be criticizing Sang and Huai?
While I was depressed, I was also shocked by Liu Shenhong's profound knowledge. He was able to talk about various situations in Meng Yuan.
Even they can't do this.
"Then why do you think it is?" Wei Chi retorted somewhat unconvinced.
"Master Wei, the reason why it became like this is not necessarily because those craftsmen were careless. In the past, craftsmen often relied more on their own experience when constructing various projects."
"It can be limited by the different qualifications of each person and their different experiences. Naturally, the control of the project is also very different."
"Some standards are applicable to other rivers, but if they are placed on the edge of the Yellow River, they would be a bit unsatisfactory."
"Your Majesty once taught us how to avoid problems caused by everyone being surprised."
"Promote senior craftsmen, as construction engineers, to formulate a set of standards in advance, and everyone strictly follows the standards. This can effectively avoid problems that arise due to differences in personal cognition."
"That's good!" Wei Chi was beaming when he heard this, and he slapped his thigh and cheered loudly.
He has been a craftsman all his life, and even participated in the reconstruction of the Meng Yuan Palace and some palaces that were damaged due to various reasons.
What is most clear is that as long as there are more people, all kinds of strange ideas will come.
If it can be implemented according to a unified standard, it will be a good thing for many large-scale projects.
Zhao Helun, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, glared at Wei Chi fiercely.
You guy, please pay attention to your identity. As a member of the Ministry of Industry, don't let the other party fool you.
Sensing the dissatisfaction of his immediate boss, Wei Chi quickly calmed down and pretended to be calm: "What you said makes sense. We have no objection to the content of the third competition."
Zhu Han yawned: "Now that you all understand, let's let the competition begin. Who is that, come and write a few labels. Don't say that my students bully you, the person who signed your contract from the Ministry of Industry will draw."
The people from the Ministry of Industry were speechless and said they were not here to support your students?
After a while, someone wrote the labels. The contents of the labels include palaces, mansions, gardens, river embankments and bridges, etc.
After I finished writing it, I specially submitted it to Zhu Han for a look to show that I had not cheated.
What left Zhu Han speechless was that there were actually temples and Taoist temples inside.
Zhu Handao felt that it didn't matter. He had absolute confidence in his students.
It's not that Zhu Han is blindly arrogant, but that the officials and craftsmen who made the announcement simply don't understand how terrifying the new education his students are receiving is.
Zhao Helun smiled and volunteered: "My lord, if you don't mind, how about this lottery, why don't you come and draw people?"
"Yes." Zhu Han naturally didn't care.
Zhao Helun looked solemnly and came to the wooden box filled with signatures. Even with his city and identity, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
After fumbling around in the lottery box for a while, Zhao Helun finally took out a lottery ticket.
The officials from the Ministry of Industry couldn't help but swallow their saliva.
Zhao Helun slowly opened the signature, and there was only one word on it.
bridge!
When they saw this word, many people in the Yanjing Ministry of Industry almost couldn't help but laugh out loud.
No matter how incompetent they are, they are still officials of the Ministry of Industry.
I have been dealing with various projects all year round, and I am very familiar with them. Building bridges, although not the strongest among these labels, is still ranked in the top three.
Building a bridge requires crossing a river, with boats on the lower part and people and carriages on the upper part. The requirements for all aspects are quite high.
The most important thing is that there might be someone with some experience in building a house.
But there are very few ordinary people who have experience with bridges.
The question comes out.
The first competition, cost-effectiveness officially begins.
The announced officials also gave data. The bridge is 60 meters long and requires two carriages to run in parallel. They need to calculate how much stone is needed, how many craftsmen are needed, and how long it will take to build it.
Zhu Han, who was watching the excitement, twitched the corner of his mouth without self-examination.
This feeling.
Why do they look so much like the word problems used in elementary schools in later generations?
After hearing the question, the students in Huangzhuang immediately started busy and carried out various calculations in an orderly manner.
While they were calculating, a craftsman from the Ministry of Industry had already stepped forward.
"Master Qi, the villain has finished his calculations."
Although this man is also a craftsman, unlike Wei Chi, he is not an official, so he can only call himself a commoner or a villain.
Zhao Helun was a little proud. He looked at the Huangzhuang students who were still calculating, and deliberately said in a pinched tone: "You have the result so soon? Tell me!"
The craftsman did not dare to neglect, and said quickly: "Sir, the construction of such a bridge is expected to require five million kilograms of stone, ten thousand people, and the construction period will be four years."
The reason why this person answered so quickly is because he is in charge of the bridge project.
He could estimate how big the bridge would be, how many stone workers and craftsmen it would take, and how long it would take to build it, just by looking at it.
"You go down first." Zhao Helun smiled with wrinkles on his face: "Your Majesty, it seems that our craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry have a slight victory in this round."
Other officials from the Ministry of Industry had similar ideas to Zhao Helun.
The question had just come out, and the officials from the Ministry of Industry had already answered it. However, Zhu Han's students still didn't know what they were doing, and they didn't give their answers yet.
This gap shouldn't be too obvious, right?
They were somewhat worried before. Since these people were specially trained by His Royal Highness, they might actually have some extraordinary abilities.
Now it seems that they simply thought too much.
"We'll wait until my students calculate the results." Zhu Han said unequivocally.
his words.
However, officials from the Ministry of Industry regarded it as a stubborn sophistry.
