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

Chapter 406 Zhu Han's Meaning

After being completely slapped in the face by Zhu Han's students, the craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry were completely honest.

That afternoon, when Zhang Wenjie came over again to inform them to go to study.

These craftsmen changed their pride in the past, and almost fought directly for the place of study.

"I'll see who dares to fight with this old man!" Elder Wei tapped the ground with his cane, his beard blowing and his eyes staring.

Several young craftsmen laughed along.

"Old man, you are quite old, so don't compete with us young people for this opportunity?"

"You said that at your age, you are slow to learn everything. What if you delay the business of the prince and the prince blames you? What's more, even if you have learned it, you can pass the job that the prince said...how can you do it? with?"

Zhang Yunjie added dumbfoundingly: "Engineer certificate, after you have learned new architectural knowledge, you still need to take an exam. After passing, you will get an engineer certificate before you can supervise the construction of new buildings."

The craftsman hurriedly continued to persuade Old Wei: "Old man, even if you pass the engineer certificate, at your age, you can't go back and forth to work. Isn't this a waste?"

"Nonsense, who said that I can't work, old man? If you don't believe me, let's compare now. I can move a brick now, and I can move faster than you young people."

Many craftsmen were speechless, thinking that you are still a brick at this age, and if something happens, I am afraid that you will report it directly to Lord Yan.

Great craftsman Wei Chi tried to persuade him dumbfounded: "Old Wei, you must give us young people a chance."

……

The craftsmen were speechless again, Wei Chi was also considered a person who stepped into the coffin with half his foot, so he had the nerve to call himself a young man?

shameless.

I always feel that there is something wrong with the painting style of their Ministry of Industry.

"Fart, what do you mean, you little bastard, don't you dislike me for being old? You forgot, who taught you..." Old Wei pointed at Wei Chi's nose and cursed.

There will be a very huge benefit when people live for a long time.

Many people around are almost all his grandsons or even great-grandchildren.Such a person puts on his old qualifications, even if he is already an official like Wei Chi, he can't stand it at all.

But maintaining this scolding is in vain.

Throughout the Ministry of Industry, all craftsmen with some status and qualifications were wiped out by Zhu Han.

These craftsmen all went to the students of Huangzhuang to learn how to build and accept new buildings.

Zhu Han didn't seem to care much, and he didn't even show up a few times from the beginning to the end, but in fact he cared very much.

How to let them get started quickly and accept this knowledge, and what to teach in class, are almost all reviewed and formulated by Zhu Han himself.

The purpose is to allow them to grasp these as soon as possible and start building Yanjing as soon as possible.

Fortunately, although Zhu Han's plan is huge, the buildings he built are basically small buildings with two or three floors.

There is such a high-strength material as cement, as long as it is not made too much, there will be almost no problems.

The craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry are already good at these things.

Zhang Yunjie and Shen Longliang only gave them a few lessons, and 34 of them have passed the engineer's exam.

Of course, the gold content of this so-called engineer is very serious.

Those who passed the exam did not leave, and still came to Zhu Han's temporary palace to attend lectures every day.With this knowledge, the artisans of Yanjing seem to have opened a brand new door.

Without disturbing the students in Huangzhuang teaching these people, Zhu Han quietly called Liu Shenhong aside.

"How is the situation now? After today's exam, how many people can get the engineer's qualification certificate?"

Liu Shenhong calculated in his heart: "Almost... there can be more than 100 people."

Zhu Han was not too satisfied with this result.

However, this is also impossible.Don't look at these people as craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry, but some of them don't even know how to read.

When he heard the news, Zhu Han was shocked.

They are master craftsmen!It can be said that this era should be the most knowledgeable group of people other than scholars.

How could such a person be illiterate?
After the initial shock, Zhu Han was also relieved. After all, many technologies in this era are passed on by word of mouth, and it doesn't seem to be that important whether he can read or not.

Knowing this, Zhu Han resolutely adjusted his strategy and focused on cultivating those who could read.

Zhu Han, an illiterate craftsman, didn't give up on them either, he just did literacy first.

The construction of Yanjing is the most important project of Ming Dynasty now, and there are not enough people.

"The number of people is a little less, but it is barely enough. Go and inform the merchants that they are ready to start work now."

Liu Shenhong didn't do it right away, but looked worried: "My lord, are you a little too anxious? I think the time for these people to learn is a bit short, in case something goes wrong..."

"What problem do you think could go wrong?" Zhu Han asked without answering.

"This..." Liu Shenhong was at a loss for words, hesitated for a while and said: "We have only taught the people from the Ministry of Industry for a few days, and those people from the Ministry of Industry are going to teach other craftsmen, is it true that there will be no problems? Is it?"

Zhu Han smiled silently: "Then what do you think, if something goes wrong, are we more worried, or are the businessmen more worried?"

Liu Shenhong didn't know how to answer this question for a while.

Zhu Han also didn't mean to ask him to answer: "As long as we give enough detailed standards, those merchants will naturally solve the remaining problems. If they fail to pass the inspection, what the court loses is just some time, while what the merchants lose is nothing more than It's real money."

"For the sake of money, these merchants will try their best to keep costs down and earn more profits. And the one-time acceptance inspection is the most cost-saving."

If this happened in later generations, Zhu Han would never dare to do this.He will definitely be caught by those businessmen, and there will be no bones left in the pit.

But now it is Daming, and the life and death of the merchants, the whole family, is basically a matter of his words.

On the bright side, there is the supervision of craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry, and in the dark, there are Jinyiwei who do everything they can.

If this is the case, those businessmen dare to act recklessly.

Zhu Han smiled coldly, and said murderously: "When you talk to those businessmen, you can find a way to reveal what I mean to them."

"If they do things honestly, how much money they can make depends entirely on their ability, but if they dare to fool me, then don't blame me for being ungrateful."

Ying Tianfu.

Zhu Biao, who is presiding over state affairs, received news from Yanjing.

"It must be the emperor's side, and he has done something extraordinary. Show me quickly."

Can't wait to open the file, just glanced at it, Zhu Biao almost stared out his eyes.

"Uncle Huang's students actually hanged and beat the master craftsman of Yanjing Ministry of Industry, is this true or not?"

Did he doubt Zhu Han? After all, the miracles created by his uncle are simply not too many.

It's just that the news was so shocking that he couldn't believe it.

Zhu Biao had seen a few of those students before. Although they were very knowledgeable, they were only scholars after all.

How come they even understand what the craftsmen do?
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

His own father is here, how can Zhu Biao dare to neglect?Put down the memorial for the first time and go out to meet him.

"I've seen my father!"

"Get up." Zhu Yuanzhang responded casually, raised his legs and walked inside.

Sitting where Zhu Biao had taken before, he looked down and saw the memorial about Zhu Han.

"It seems that you also know what your uncle did in Yanjing, tell us what you think."

"Ah!" Zhu Biao raised his head in surprise, for a moment he didn't understand what his father meant.

But Zhu Biao knew that at this time, he absolutely couldn't say that he didn't know, otherwise, he would have to be beaten.

"This... this..." After racking my brains for a long time, I still couldn't figure out what my father was going to do, so I just said nonsense: "I think Uncle Huang is more suitable for teaching and educating people. These students in Huangzhuang, don't see Huang Uncle is so hardworking. But their skills are even better than those craftsmen in Yanjing."

"I'm afraid their knowledge in other fields is also not bad. If they had left some in Yingtian Mansion..."

Having said that, Zhu Biao shut his mouth abruptly.

It was his father who asked these people to go to the north. Now that he said that, wouldn't he be blatantly blaming his own father?
A trace of anger suddenly appeared on Zhu Yuanzhang's face, but he forced it back in the end.

"Apart from these, is there anything else?"

Zhu Biao was about to cry, and he thought it would be okay to give some hints?

However, this idea can only be thought about in his heart, he absolutely dare not say it.

"Why is there no movement again?" Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't see Zhu Biao's virtue, and the anger that had just been suppressed began to vent again.

"As the current crown prince, if something happens that the ministers can't solve, don't you even give a shit? We are heroes all our lives, and your mother is also a woman who doesn't give in to others. How did you give birth to such a preoccupied person? kid?"

Zhu Yuanzhang pointed to Zhu Biao's nose and reprimanded him for half an hour, leaving Zhu Biao in a daze.

Until Zhu Yuanzhang left, he was still at a loss.

My father came here today, could it be that he just scolded him?
When Zhu Yuanzhang returned to his bedroom, Ma Xiuying virtuously sent a hot towel to Zhu Yuanzhang to wipe his face to relieve fatigue.

"Chongba, isn't what you said this time too cryptic? I'm afraid he may not understand what you mean."

Zhu Yuanzhang wiped his face vigorously a few times: "There is no way, he can't always live under our wings."

"There are some things that he has to figure out for himself after all. This kid is smart because he is smart, but he has been living in our shadow all the time, which is very smooth. If he had known this, it would have been better to let Qi Wu force him to rebel."

As soon as the words fell, Ma Xiuying gave him a slap: "It's fine for you to mess around, but you still dragged Qi Wu. Others want their children to be honest. You are good, and you will toss Biaoer in different ways every day."

"It's good for a child from an ordinary family to be honest. But he is our son, and he will inherit this great tomorrow in the future. It's too honest and generous."

"They are all princes, but if you look at the people around him, which one really died for him, Zhu Biao? After being a prince for so long, there is not even a single person who can be trusted. "

"Look at those students in Qiwu, let's not talk about their abilities. Believe it or not, even if one day I ask one of them to die for Qiwu, they won't even frown."

A sneeze!

Zhu Han, who was far away in Yanjing, sneezed for no reason.

Liu Shenhong, who was reporting the construction progress of Yanjing to Zhu Han, asked with concern: "My lord, have you been too tired recently?"

Zhu Han's old face blushed slightly, and immediately said righteously: "For the construction of the new capital of Ming Dynasty, it's nothing if I work a little bit harder. This matter is related to my great achievements in the future of Ming Dynasty. You all cheer me up , there must be absolutely no omissions, do you understand?"

"My lord..." Liu Shenhong's eyes were red: "Please rest assured, my lord, we will never slack off in the slightest. If I find anyone who dares not do their best, I will take his skin!"

"Huh? My lord, why is your complexion getting worse and worse, why don't I ask the imperial doctor to show you?"

Zhu Han straightened his face: "It's not like you don't know about my king's medical skills, and you still need other doctors?"

The deeds of Zhu Han's use of antibiotics to treat the plague back then are still being talked about until now.

"But my lord, a doctor doesn't heal himself..."

"Okay, don't worry about such small things, let's talk about the progress of those projects first." Zhu Han changed the subject abruptly.

Seeing that his lord was so persistent, Liu Shenhong could only continue helplessly: "My lord, under the guidance of the engineers from the Ministry of Industry, those craftsmen have already finished laying the foundation, and some of them are progressing fast, and even started to build the above-ground part."

"Oh?" Zhu Han became interested now: "The progress of these guys is faster than I expected, not bad."

He was happy about the progress of the construction, and seeing Liu Shenhong's hesitant to speak, Zhu Han said angrily, "If you have anything to say, just say it, what does a mother-in-law look like?"

Liu Shenhong hesitated for a while: "My lord, according to the experience of the artisans of the Ministry of Industry during this period, the construction cost may be reduced by about [-]% compared to our previous estimate."

"What you said is true?" Zhu Han suddenly sat up straight.

Although he knew that these businessmen would definitely bring him unexpected joy, he never expected that there would be good news so soon.

"How did they do that?"

Liu Shenhong looked strange: "Through experiments, they obtained some new formulas, by adding cinder ash, reducing the amount of cement used, controlling the use of gravel, and rationally arranging the construction site, etc., to lower the construction cost. .”

Even if he saw it with his own eyes, Liu Shenhong still couldn't believe that those greedy businessmen who had never been in contact with a new school for a day could do this to this extent.

"Especially a guy named Yang Fengnian. Before their project started, they made a lot of money because they experimented with a new cement formula."
