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

Chapter 401 Proving Ability
"You guys are well prepared." Zhu Han sneered disdainfully.

In order to prevent the so-called leakage of secrets, these guys really have planned enough.

Zhao Helun hurriedly cupped his hands and said: "Xiaguan and others, this is also to let the prince's students be cleared of the suspicion of cheating. This is a last resort. Please don't blame the prince."

"Damn it!" Zhu Han was a little impressed by this Yenching Minister of the Ministry of Industry.

As expected of someone who can become a minister, his skin is as thick as a city wall.

How can you still say that if you are so shameless?
A talent!

The students of Huangzhuang immediately began to calculate nervously after knowing the questions raised by the craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry.

Many officials and craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry are gloating.

"These people can really pretend. Look at how busy they are, as if they can really figure it out."

"As for those ghost symbols, if they are really useful, I will eat the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests on the spot."

"Hey... you can't say that. They came all the way to show us some way. We shouldn't be too shameless, otherwise, wouldn't it be a slap in the face of His Royal Highness? They won't be able to figure it out after a while. , we can't laugh at them."

The officials of the Ministry of Industry let out a burst of laughter.

Calculating the engineering volume of the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests is much slower than calculating a stone bridge.

After all, Shiqiao basically only needs to calculate the output.

But the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvest is different. This kind of palace with special functions not only has requirements on the shape, but also has clear regulations on the various materials used, and the required quantity is quite large.

"Senior Brother Zhang, I have a number here that seems to be wrong, please help me to look it up." A student from Huangzhuang said with a frown.

Zhang Yunjie hurried over, glanced up and down, and pointed to a check result on the straw paper: "The calculation here is wrong. You have to calculate according to the regulations of the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties, and you can't use my Daming."''

The student from Huangzhuang slapped his head violently, and Huang Yang said with great enlightenment, "That's right, why didn't I think of that?"

Immediately, he stopped talking to Zhang Yunjie and continued to count with his head down.

Zhang Yunjie's arithmetic ability is the best among all the students who graduated from Huangzhuang.

Anyone who thinks their calculations are wrong will ask for his opinion, and Zhang Yunjie is very busy all of a sudden.

This time, the time they calculated was indeed a bit long. For more than half an hour, the students in Huangzhuang were still busy.Moreover, I don't know when to calculate.

The staff and craftsmen of the Yanjing Ministry of Industry began to complain again.

"Will it work?"

"It's just pretending, so it takes so long?"

"If you can't figure it out, just admit defeat, okay?"

Zhao Helun, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, said insinuatingly: "My lord, the weather is hot now, and the students have been basking in the sun for so long, so there will be no problems, right?"

"If because of this trivial matter, there are some problems with these future talents of Ming Dynasty. We, the whole Ministry of Industry, will become sinners of our Ming Dynasty through the ages."

It seemed that he was heartbroken, but he was actually urging Zhu Han, if it didn't work, he should stop holding on and surrender quickly.

"Always let them give up completely, otherwise, they will definitely not be convinced. It doesn't matter, the left and right kings have nothing to do today, and we have to see how long these little bastards will toss."

Zhao Helun vomited blood directly, and His Royal Highness was uneasy about playing cards.

He, the prince, said that he would wait here, what else could others say?
No matter how expensive others are, they can still compare to the majestic prince.

"His Royal Highness must not do it! We people just wait here, and we must not let your highness, your golden body, be harmed."

Zhu Han laughed: "What kind of body is this king? Before I rebelled against my brother, I was still placing orders in Huangjue Temple, but I was just an ordinary person."

Anyway, there was nothing to do, Zhu Han, who was idle and bored, played tricks with Zhao Helun without saying a word.

The students of Huangzhuang were ridiculed by the officials of the Ministry of Industry and the craftsmen.

It took more than two hours, and finally all the materials, labor and construction time needed to build the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests were finally completed at a reasonable cost.

When Zhang Yunjie handed in the answer, it was already Weishichu.

That is around one o'clock in the afternoon.

Many of the people in the Ministry of Industry were grumbling in their stomachs.Naturally, he became more and more dissatisfied with the students of Huangzhuang.

"Today is an eye-opener. For the first time, I discovered that someone can pretend for so long."

"Don't put it that way, it's also very hard for people. It's not easy to toss here under the sun for more than two hours."

"Hurry up and announce the result. After winning, let's go eat something quickly."

Zhao Helun, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, took a look at the answer after receiving it.

Similar to the last time, many of the above data are given within a certain range.

He didn't pay much attention to other things, but when he saw one of them, he was suddenly a little lost in thought.

"It is estimated that [-] to [-] glazed tiles will be used in the construction of the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests."

The reason why he is so sensitive to this data is that when the Hall of Prayer for Harvests was built, Zhao Helun had participated in the procurement of glazed tiles.

Although it happened many years ago, and I don't remember it clearly now, it should not be much different from this number.

"It's... impossible, right?"

Zhao Helun looked at Zhang Yunjie and the students in Huangzhuang in the distance in disbelief.

A guess could not help but arise in his heart, which he himself could not believe.Is it possible... These students can really calculate it, not just pretending?
Seeing Zhao Helun in a daze, Zhu Han naturally knew what was going on.He reminded with a half-smile, "Master Shangshu, don't be in a daze, hurry up and announce the answer, this is all waiting."

Zhao Helun came back to his senses, only to realize that everyone was looking at him eagerly.

Although I feel, this time I'm afraid it's a bit bad.But now, it is impossible for him to do anything.

He could only laugh dryly and let the officials of the Ministry of Industry announce the answer.

"The materials needed to build the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests are 850 to 28 million jin of white marble, [-] golden nanmu beams and columns, and glazed tiles..."

When he heard the quantity of white marble needed just now, Mr. Wei, who came up with the question, was blown out of his mind.

The Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests is the largest and most splendid building he has ever worked on in his life.

To this day, even though he is too old to forget many things, he is still very familiar with the data of the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests.

38 meters high, the area...

Many of the data calculated by Huangzhuang students were similar to what he remembered.

After the official from the Ministry of Industry read out the answer, everyone's eyes were on Wei Lao's face.

When they saw Wei Lao's ashen face.Everyone couldn't help but thumped in their hearts.

"Old Wei... Are their calculations accurate?"

"You will know soon." Wei Lao swallowed hard.

Just now, he had already written the answer to the officials of the Ministry of Industry.At the same time, in order to prevent leaks, except for a few people, most craftsmen do not know the specific data.

After the initial surprise, Elder Wei became extremely curious about the students in Huangzhuang.

As a top craftsman in the world, it is not impossible for him to take a look at the building and roughly calculate the materials and labor needed.

But even he couldn't calculate these data extremely accurately like the students of Huangzhuang.

Soon, the officials of the Ministry of Industry finished reading the answers written by Mr. Wei.

quiet!
They seemed to be able to hear clearly the sound of the leaves being rolled up by the prestige at the competition site.

The answers given by the students of Huangzhuang, although not completely correct.

But even if there are a few numbers that are not within the range given by the students of Huangzhuang, the difference in the results is not too much.

"How did you do such a thing?"

"No matter how they did it, at least this time it shouldn't be cheating. Those data are only known by the old Wei."

"If it wasn't for cheating, then wouldn't it be possible for them to know the magic of immortality?"

face pain.

A group of world-renowned craftsmen are even inferior to children.

This face can be said to have been thrown at grandma's house.

Especially before, he said that if the students of Huangzhuang could calculate the data, he would give the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvest to the officials of the Ministry of Industry.Now I can't wait to find a seam in the ground and get in.

Zhao Helun had expected this result a long time ago, so he was not too surprised.

With a forced smile, he said: "As expected of the person trained by the prince, he really has extraordinary abilities, and I admire you."

"My lord, it's getting late now, why don't we eat first, and wait for everyone to eat and drink enough before proceeding to the next competition?"

"Yes!" Zhu Han readily agreed, he hadn't had lunch yet.

The people in the Yanjing Ministry of Industry, of course, forgot the existence of the students in Huangzhuang.

Taking care of himself, he arranged for the cooks to prepare meals for the officials of the Ministry of Industry and craftsmen.

Zhu Han was well prepared for this kind of differential treatment.

No matter what his real thoughts are, for these people in Yanjing, they are here to smash their jobs.

Naturally impossible, what a good attitude towards them.So Zhu Han had already informed people that he had booked a banquet at the best restaurant in Yanjing, and it happened to be delivered at this time.

On their side, everyone eats the same food.Even if Zhu Hangui is the prince, he will not eat one more dish than the students in Huangzhuang.

In comparison, the Ministry of Industry appears to be strictly hierarchical.

Senior officials such as Shangshu Shilang were seated according to their ranks, and the tables were filled with delicacies from mountains and seas.

Officials with lower grades not only sit close together, but also eat a lot of poor food.

When it comes to craftsmen, the treatment is even worse.

There is more or less meat in those master craftsmen's dishes, and ordinary craftsmen basically have two vegetarian dishes, and each person is given two steamed buns.

Zhu Han shook his head straight when he saw it. This is also one of the biggest drawbacks of Confucian culture.

Everything is inferior, only reading is high.

These feudal bureaucrats, from the bottom of their hearts, don't pay attention to craftsmen.

Even officials from the Ministry of Industry, who deal with craftsmen all day long, have this attitude towards craftsmen, let alone officials from other departments of the imperial court.

This situation must be changed.

But before that, he had to suppress the arrogance of these craftsmen first.

After lunch, the competition between Huangzhuang students and craftsmen continued.

The competition in the morning really made these craftsmen feel a little embarrassed.

Having been craftsmen all their lives, they are not as good as a group of students.

But well.

As soon as they thought about the content of the second competition, the confidence of the craftsmen returned.

In the second round, the competition was about construction skills.

This is the artisan's ability to eat, if they can lose even this, then they simply die.

"Zhao Shangshu, according to the previous rules, we draw lots for a project, and then make a question based on this project."

"Originally, the comparison was about building bridges, but now it seems that the officials and craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry seem to think that my students are suspected of cheating."

"If that's the case, how about re-drawing the game in the afternoon to determine the project? This will be fairer."

Whether it is Zhao Helun, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, or the officials and craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry.

They all felt their faces being slapped.

So embarrassing.

In the morning, they swear by it and accused the students of Huangzhuang of cheating.The students were forced to have another match.

It turned out that the students in Huangzhuang didn't need to cheat at all.

The Hall of Prayer for Good Harvest is hundreds of thousands of times more complex than ordinary bridges. The students can easily calculate the materials and labor required for construction.

Calculating an ordinary bridge, isn't that a matter of hand?There is no need to cheat at all.

"My lord, I don't understand some things, so I ask my lord to clarify my doubts." Cheng Jin, the left servant of Yanjing Industry Department, stood up and said respectfully.

Zhao Helun was furious: "Shut up! No matter what you are, you are worthy of asking the prince to explain your doubts, so get out of here."

Cheng Jin naturally refused to leave, and still insisted: "Master Shangshu, since it is a competition, it must be fair. We can't let the craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry lose for no reason, right?"

Well, one of these two guys is playing red face and the other is playing bad face.

Before Zhu Han could speak, he was already roasted on the fire.

If he didn't respond to Cheng Jin, his students would definitely be smeared as cheating in the competition that his students managed to win beautifully.

Zhu Han didn't care what those officials thought. He didn't want any misunderstandings among the craftsmen.

"No problem!" Zhu Han interrupted Zhao Helun's reprimand with a smile: "I hope this competition will be fair. No matter who it is, just ask if you have any questions."

"Hey! It's the lower officials who are incompetent. They can't control these lawless guys and ask the prince to come down." Zhao Helun threw the blame out calmly.

This is to tell Zhu Han that this matter has nothing to do with me, I am just incompetent and unable to control my subordinates.My lord, if you are not feeling well in your heart, just deal with Cheng Jin, the servant of the left, to death.

"Cheng Jin, right?" Zhu Han narrowed his eyes: "If you have any questions, just ask, I can answer your questions right now."
