Daming: Brother, there is no future for monks, let's rebel

Chapter 400 You must have cheated

Zhao Helun looked hesitant: "My lord, are you really determined to announce the results? The officials feel that there is no need for this at all. Young people, don't you have a good face?"

"It doesn't matter, young people should be hit a bit, otherwise, they don't know what it means to be tall." Zhu Han said with a half-smile.

Seeing Zhu Han's resolute attitude, Zhao Helun felt speechless. He had always heard that His Royal Highness was so incredible.

Now it seems that the rumors are really unreliable.

Obviously the result is already very clear, his students will definitely lose to the artisans of the Ministry of Industry.But His Royal Highness is obsessed with announcing the results.

That being the case, don't blame him for not giving face.If they don't release the real answer, it seems that they will not give up.

"Okay, since the prince insists, I have no choice but to take orders. Come, someone, and announce the results."

The officials of the Ministry of Industry who were relatively close to Zhu Han and Zhao Helun exchanged a few glances with each other.

Their faces were full of sarcasm.

Everyone believed that the students of Huangzhuang were definitely doomed this time.

They are not particularly clear about the previous data, and they don't know whether the calculation is correct or not.

But the latter ones are simply ridiculous.

Even if they are officials, they are basically not responsible for the specific construction of things.

But I also know that in three months, there is no way to build a stone bridge, okay?

Young people are young people. They don't know what it means to do things in a down-to-earth manner, and they can only think out of thin air.

It would be fine if they were in other places. As students of the King of England, no one would care about them as much as they did.

However, they had to go beyond their capabilities and challenge the generals of the Ministry of Industry.

only……

These complacent officials did not notice.

Wei Chi, the envoy of the Ministry of Industry, immediately became serious after hearing the data given by the students in Huangzhuang.

"how can that be?"

As a craftsman who can work in the Ministry of Industry, Wei Chi's seniority has participated in countless projects.

And it's different from those pure officials.

A craftsman like Wei Chi really wants to personally participate in this kind of project.

Others may need to estimate the answer to the question in front of me, but Wei Chi can just open his mouth.

Because Wei Chi has personally built many similar bridges.

Just when Wei Chi was shocked, officials from the Ministry of Industry began to announce the answer loudly.

"The bridge for this topic is the Lingjiang Bridge 260 miles north of Yanjing!"

"Lingjiang Bridge shares stone materials, 750 to [-] catties..."

As soon as he read this, the officials of the Ministry of Industry seemed to have chicken feathers stuffed in their throats, and their voices stopped abruptly.

The officials of the Ministry of Industry, as well as many craftsmen, all stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

"Wait, did you read it wrong?"

"This is absolutely impossible. Why are the data they gave almost exactly the same as the answer?"

"I protest, they must be cheating!"

Many people cannot accept this result.

They couldn't believe that the figures given by the craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry were not as accurate as those given by Zhu Han's students. How could this be possible?

"We didn't cheat." Zhang Yunjie retorted aggrievedly.

Liu Shenhong also glared at them angrily: "If you can't compare with us, then say we cheated, can you show some face?"

The other Huangzhuang students also refuted.

It's a pity that compared with the officials of the Ministry of Industry and those craftsmen, their number is too small.

Soon, the voices of Huangzhuang students were drowned out by various accusations.

"You people, you can tell at a glance that you haven't even done any work. How can you know how many stones and how many people are needed to build a bridge?"

"I wondered before, what gave you the courage to challenge the craftsmen of our Ministry of Industry. You people are already ready to cheat, no wonder you are so confident."

Two fists are no match for four hands, even if the students of Huangzhuang have something to say, they can't open their mouths now.

Just when they were about to be overwhelmed by raging public opinion.

A roar suppressed everyone's voices.

"Shut up for me!"

bump!
Zhu Han slammed the table, and his angry roar instantly suppressed everyone's voices.

Those who were still chattering just now, the officials of the Yanjing Ministry of Industry and craftsmen were all silent and dared not say another word.

Zhu Han stood up and looked down at them.

"What? Are you suspecting that the king's students are cheating?"

Zhao Helun hurriedly replied: "I also ask the prince to temporarily calm the anger of the thunder, the officials and others dare not."

This old guy is hiding a knife behind a smile again.

He said dare not, not no.

Zhu Han smiled coldly: "This king is strange. These topics were all written on the spot and selected by lottery. The specific topics were also proposed by your people from the Ministry of Industry, right?"

"In this case, why are you telling me, how did my students cheat?"

The officials of the Ministry of Industry and the craftsmen all lowered their heads, not daring to look at Zhu Han.

But just look at their expressions.

Still quite unconvinced by Zhu Han's words.

"Keep reading!" Zhu Han coldly ordered the official of the Ministry of Industry who was reading the answer.

The officials of the Ministry of Industry did not dare to disobey Zhu Han's words.

However, the voice of reading the answer suddenly became much lower than before.

"Nine thousand one hundred and three craftsmen and civilians were employed, and the construction took two years, two months and 15 days."

Those officials and craftsmen had already suspected Zhu Han's students of cheating.Now that all the answers have been read, these people are even more sure of their guesses.

If it is said that the materials used can be calculated in such detail, it is barely acceptable.

Even the number of employees and construction time are so detailed.

That is simply impossible.

They were only photographed by Zhu Han's power, they didn't dare to show it.

Even Zhao Helun, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, looked neither yin nor yang, and clasped his fist at Zhu Han: "The students of the lord are indeed geniuses, I admire, admire!"

Zhang Yunjie was completely irritated by them: "You ignorant guys, do you think others can't do what you can't do?"

"Since this is the case, this question will be voided immediately. You people from the Ministry of Industry can come up with questions to test us at will now, and we will check the calculations on the spot until you are satisfied. Is this okay for the head office?"

Zhu Han glared at Zhang Yunjie angrily.

You silly boy, why did you just foolishly sneak in when someone else just played a trick?

Fortunately, he followed.

if not……

Students like myself, even if they have great abilities, I'm afraid they won't be able to display much.

Zhao Helun pretended to be embarrassed and said: "I'm afraid this is not good? After all, no matter what, the result of the first match has already come out. If there is another match, in case something unexpected happens..."

Inside and outside the words, it seems that they are all for the sake of the students of Huangzhuang.

In fact, it implies that if the competition is repeated, the students of Huangzhuang will definitely not win if they are not prepared to "cheat".

Zhu Han originally didn't want to agree.

He is a majestic prince, and he can just order these people from the Ministry of Industry to do something.

Who dare not listen to what?
The reason for the roundabout competition has nothing to do with the officials of the Ministry of Industry. Zhu Han just wanted to convince the craftsmen.

After all, the efficiency of being ordered to do something is completely different from that of actively wanting to do it.

In particular, these craftsmen are currently the most advanced group in Ming Dynasty.

If it only concerned the officials of the Ministry of Industry, Zhu Han might have learned from his elder brother in history a long time ago, and cut them all to save his worry.

"My lord, please allow me to wait."

Not only Liu Hongren and Zhang Yunjie, but other students in Huangzhuang also asked Zhu Han to agree.

Obviously relying on his own ability, but was framed as cheating by a group of ignorant guys.

It would be strange if they could be convinced.

"Okay!" his own student asked, Zhu Han naturally had no reason not to agree.

but……

Zhu Han said dissatisfiedly: "Since my students have requested, I will give you a chance."

Hearing that Zhu Han agreed to compete again, the officials of the Ministry of Industry and the craftsmen showed ecstasy at the same time.

In their view, as long as they do it all over again, their side can definitely win.

But before they finished their fun, Zhu Han snorted coldly with disdain: "However, I can't let you challenge my students without restriction."

As he said that, Zhu Han stretched out a finger: "One time, I will only give you one chance. I don't care what questions you ask, but you can only ask one question. After this question, no more discrepancies are allowed."

Zhao Helun smiled like a chrysanthemum with an old face: "Did you hear that? The prince has given you a chance, so you can't push yourself."

The officials of the Ministry of Industry and the craftsmen said in unison: "Thank you for your kindness."

Zhu Han seemed dissatisfied, but in fact he didn't care at all.Although the craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry are all top talents.But they are, after all, only the top talents of this era.

People in an agricultural society never know the horrors of an industrial society, no matter in any respect.

Even among them, there is a powerful craftsman comparable to Lu Ban.The ability to calculate is not as good as his students.

The officials of the Ministry of Industry and the craftsmen were discussing what questions to ask.

Liu Shenhong expected Ai Ai to come to Zhu Han's side: "Students have made their own decisions and delayed the prince's plan. Please don't be as knowledgeable as the students."

Zhu Han was not serious, Liu Shenhong kicked on the calf, and gave Zhang Yunjie a hard look: "You also know that you are wrong?"

Liu Shenhong and the two quickly nodded.

"You little bastards, even if we compete ten more times, we will win. But you have to know that no matter what happens, you can't be led by the nose by the enemy."

While Zhu Han was reprimanding his students, the officials of the Ministry of Industry and the craftsmen were also arguing about some problems.

Several people pitched ideas, but they were quickly rejected.

"This won't work. Even if they didn't know the topic in advance, they should be able to guess a rough idea. They are too famous."

An official from the Ministry of Industry said impatiently: "This will not work, and that will not work. After all, this topic will not come out."

Among the crowd, a voice full of helplessness sounded: "If it really doesn't work...the old man will mention one."

brush!
All eyes were on the speaker.

This person looked older than Wei Chi.It would be very difficult to just stand there without someone to support you.

But after seeing this person, all the people in the Ministry of Industry became excited.

This person's qualifications are still higher than that of Wei Chi.

"Old Wei, do you have any good topics? Tell us quickly."

"Old Wei should have asked the question a long time ago."

The craftsmen began to ask questions in a hurry.

Old Wei cleared his throat: "Have you never thought about the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests?"

When the originally excited craftsmen heard this topic, their complexions suddenly became bitter.

Someone complained depressingly: "Old Wei, this must not work, right? The Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests is too famous, as long as..."

The person who spoke took a sneak peek at Zhu Han's direction, saw that Zhu Han was reprimanding the students and didn't pay attention to his side, so he lowered his voice and explained: "When those people are calculating, that His Royal Highness, the King of England, can completely let If someone sends the data of the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests, there is no way to hide it from others.”

Old Wei had a smug smile on his face: "What do you little bastards know? This Hall of Prayer for Harvests was built by the old man during the reign of Meng Yuan Tianli. During the previous war, a fire broke out in the palace, and many files were burned. Yes, the dossier of the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests is also among them."

Immediately afterwards, Old Wei changed the subject: "Besides, the construction of the Hall of Prayer for Harvests is complicated and requires a lot of materials. It is even more difficult to calculate."

The artisans of the Yanjing Ministry of Industry suddenly realized that ginger is still old and spicy.

However, Old Wei hasn't finished talking yet.

In the shocked eyes of everyone, he continued to smile and said: "Also, when we set the question, we can only talk about the Hall of Prayer for Harvests. However, this Hall of Prayer for Harvests is not only the upper palace, but the base below is also a part of the Hall of Prayer for Harvests."

Let alone the craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry, even the officials were stunned.

The so-called old man should be talking about this old guy, right?

To come up with a problem, but still come up with so many twists and turns.

Okay, what about the dull gourds who are all just obsessed with crafts and never good at interpersonal communication?
The people from the Ministry of Industry discussed it for a while.

I found that the topic Wei Lao posed was really the most suitable at the moment.

Zhu Han's students, if they were a little careless, they might be fooled by Zhu Han.

"The Hall of Prayer for Harvests?" Zhu Han couldn't help frowning when he heard the topic.

The students of Huangzhuang are not afraid of challenges at all.Immediately began to be methodical and calculated.

Zhu Han was confused, citing Zhao Helun's words: "Shangshu Zhao, if I remember correctly, some files about the Mengyuan Palace must have been destroyed, right?"

"Are you sure you can provide the correct answer? If you let me know that you are asking questions randomly, then don't blame me for being rude."

Zhao Helun smiled happily: "Don't worry, my lord, we have invited the craftsman who presided over the construction of the Hall of Prayer for Harvests. He has written down all the data, and there will be no mistakes."
