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

Chapter 399 Ridiculous Results

After the craftsman from the Ministry of Industry gave the answer, another quarter of an hour passed.

The students of Huangzhuang are still calculating in an orderly manner.

However, what they did, in the eyes of the officials of the Ministry of Industry in Yanjing, was simply a pretense.

It's just building a bridge, something as big as a sesame mung bean, these people actually have to calculate it for so long.There is still a big gap between these young people and the real craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry.

At the beginning, the people present had to wait patiently.

But after waiting for nearly a quarter of an hour, those Huangzhuang students are still counting.

The officials of the Ministry of Industry and the craftsmen inevitably began to whisper.

"What the hell are they doing? Why did it take so long?"

"It's just a matter of building a bridge, but they haven't figured it out for so long. With their level, they still want to compete with our Ministry of Industry?"

"Maybe it's because our questions are too difficult?" Someone said loudly on purpose.

On the surface, this person was mocking Huangzhuang's students, but in fact Xiangzhuang's sword dance was aimed at Peigong, and he was clearly mocking Zhu Han on the sidelines.

Zhu Han is a serious prince, and he is also the founding prince.Regardless of ability and prestige, they are all famous in the world.

But this time, Zhu Han monopolized the power and directly deprived the Ministry of Industry of the construction of Yanjing Imperial City.

Among them, I don't know how many people's interests have been moved.

They didn't dare to do anything to Zhu Han. After all, Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Han's elder brother, was never a good-tempered person.But a few words of sarcasm in a yin and yang eccentricity would naturally not be polite.

Zhao Helun, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, feigned anger and scolded: "Who is talking nonsense? Do you really think that the prince's students are not as good as you? It's just that the prince is saving face for you, and he doesn't want you to lose too badly."

Zhu Han raised his eyelids, with a tired look: "Master Shang Shu, there is no need to be like this. It is true that my students are not up to date. After this incident, I will definitely train them well."

"It also saves these guys, all of them have their eyes higher than the top, and don't pay attention to the people of the world."

Zhao Helun's smile almost froze on his face.

He wasn't really defending Zhu Han, he was clearly saying the truth, mocking Zhu Han for refusing to admit defeat.As a result, His Royal Highness the King of England seemed not to have heard his subtext at all.

That natural look almost made Zhao Helun vomit blood.

However, after all, he is a person who has lived ups and downs in the officialdom for half his life.I wish I could point at Zhu Han's nose and scold him for being shameless.

But he was able to suppress the anger in his heart, and said with a smile: "The prince doesn't need to be so harsh on them. After all, they are still young people, and it is inevitable to make small mistakes."

"It's just... I don't know when these students will be counted?"

"The artisans of our Ministry of Industry, after all, still have their own work to do, so we can't wait for the results all day, can we?"

Before Zhu Han could say anything, Zhang Yunjie suddenly ran over excitedly holding a piece of paper.

"We've figured it out! My lord, we've figured it out."

With a stern face, Zhu Han reprimanded dissatisfiedly: "Do you feel very proud of calculating these things?"

Seeing his lord's attitude, the smile on Zhang Yunjie's face disappeared suddenly.

Lowering his head, he clasped his fists and saluted depressedly: "I have seen the prince and all the adults. We have already calculated the various materials and labor costs needed to build the bridge. Please have a look at the prince and the adults."

As he spoke, Zhang Wenjie respectfully raised the things they had calculated above his head.

An official from the Ministry of Industry immediately went over to take the paper.

"what?"

Seeing that piece of paper, it was densely filled with things, and there were many words that she couldn't understand.

This inevitably made the officials of the Ministry of Industry even more strange, wondering what the students in Huangzhuang meant.

Now is not the time to think about these things, the officials of the Ministry of Industry hurriedly sent the paper to Zhu Han and Zhao Helun, and then retreated among the officials of the Ministry of Industry.

He had just returned when someone asked impatiently.

"What was written on it, did you read it just now?"

"Is there any difference between the result they calculated and the result that our craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry just said?"

The official who ran the errands shook his head strangely: "I don't know if it's accurate."

The surrounding officials were puzzled for a while.

"You don't know what it means? You really didn't read any of the above content, did you?"

The official in charge of running errands said: "I read it, but I didn't read it all, and I didn't understand it."

The officials of the Ministry of Industry were stunned and had no idea what this guy was talking about.

"What do you mean you haven't finished reading? As an official of the Ministry of Industry, you can't even understand how much supplies are there?"

The errand official explained helplessly: "The material list they calculated contains a lot of data densely written, and there are many strange symbols on it, I can't understand it at all!"

After listening to his explanation, someone suddenly burst into laughter: "I understand what's going on."

The eyes of the people around suddenly lit up, and they asked eagerly: "Brother Nian, do you understand? Please quickly clear up the confusion for me."

The official of the Ministry of Industry sneered proudly: "I think these people don't understand anything at all. So, they deliberately calculated a lot of numbers. In this case, there may be a chance to blindly touch the mouse and let them be fooled." .”

The people around suddenly realized.

"So it is."

"They have been busy there for a long time. If they really didn't figure out anything, it would be too ridiculous, so they should just write more."

"At this level, he dares to speak up without shame. Compete with the craftsmen of our Ministry of Industry. It's really ignorant and fearless."

While talking, someone suddenly asked suspiciously: "If that's the case, then why are they writing those strange symbols?"

Immediately someone laughed and explained: "It's not that simple. As long as others don't understand what they wrote, it's not up to them how to explain it? At that time, just make a fool of yourself and pretend to be the correct answer."

When the officials of the Ministry of Industry heard the words, a burst of laughter broke out immediately.

Even before the results were announced, they had already confirmed that the students of Huangzhuang were writing scribbles.

The so-called top beam is not straight and the bottom beam is crooked. As the minister of the Ministry of Industry, Zhao Helun and his subordinates have surprisingly the same idea.

As soon as he saw the students from Huangzhuang sent over, the minister of the Ministry of Industry frowned.

Especially in the calculation results, when labeling what formula is used, the mathematical symbols used.

Zhao Helun, who has been studying Confucian classics since he was a child, doesn't even know any of them.

"His Royal Highness." After the initial ecstasy, Zhao Helun lowered his voice a little apprehensively, and said with a look of resentment: "Your students, you really don't know the importance."

"What?" Zhu Han felt confused.

How could the reaction of the minister of Yanjing Ministry of Industry be so different from what he had imagined?
Zhao Helun let out a long sigh, and said sadly, "Your official knows, it's a bit too embarrassing for these students to compete with the experienced craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry."

"But no matter what, since it's a competition, it should be taken seriously."

The more Zhu Han listened, the more puzzled he became.

Isn't this all nonsense?This competition is related to the construction of the capital.It is not an exaggeration to say that it is one of the most important things since the founding of the Ming Dynasty.

After all, if nothing unexpected happens, this will be the permanent capital of Ming Dynasty.

How could his students be fooled by such an important matter?

"Master Zhao, what's wrong?" Zhu Han asked suspiciously.

When Zhao Helun saw this His Royal Highness, he was still obsessed with it.At that moment, he said with a half-smile: "My lord, if your students really can't figure it out, just admit defeat honestly, why bother to write carelessly?"

"Scribble?" Zhu Han took the calculation result from Zhao Helun's hands suspiciously.

After reading ten lines at a glance, I feel even more strange.

Whether the results calculated by his own students are correct or not, Zhu Han does not know, but he can be sure that his students did not write indiscriminately, and many of the data were deduced using those formulas, which are marked on it .

After a little thought, Zhu Han quickly understood what was going on.

These guys who only know how to study hard, who only know how to hold on to the Four Books and Five Classics, don't understand what their students are writing at all.

Zhu Han didn't bother to explain to them, so he waved to Zhang Wenjie: "Bring a pen here."

Zhang Wenjie quickly took out a pencil from his pocket and handed it to Zhu Han.

On the tip of the pencil, a pen cap is made of rice paper to prevent the tip of the pencil from breaking.

These were exchanged by Zhu Han from the system and handed over to the students of Huangzhuang for use.

After all, although pencils are not easy to use for writing calligraphy, they are indeed much more convenient than brushes in terms of efficiency.

When the Huangzhuang students calculated just now, they used pencils.

It's just that when they handed in the results, they copied it again with a brush.

Zhu Han focused on drawing a few circles on the calculation results of his own students, and then returned the answer to Zhang Helun: "You don't need to read other calculation formulas, you don't understand anyway, just look at the results."

Zhao Helun didn't pay much attention to Zhu Han's words, and he didn't think that those ghostly symbols were really useful.

He took it without sincerity, and glanced at the content framed by Zhu Han again.

Just looking at it like this, Zhao Helun's eyes widened in disbelief, and subconsciously exclaimed: "Is this impossible?"

It turned out that it was written on it.

The project is expected to use stone: 370 million to 376 million jin.

This number is not very different from the estimate of the previous master of the Ministry of Industry.

That being the case...

Zhao Helun quickly looked at the other numbers.

Every result is similar to what the general of the Ministry of Industry said before, but overall there are some discrepancies.

But soon, Zhao Helun saw the last content again.

He, who was already nervous, suddenly relaxed again.

Hehe smiled and said, "My lord, if you don't have any objections, I'll have someone announce the results?"

Zhu Han nodded slightly, as if he didn't even bother to say a superfluous word: "Yes!"

Immediately, someone read the results loudly.

The officials and craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry quickly pricked up their ears and listened carefully.

but……

Most of the officials from the Ministry of Industry were listening with the mentality of watching the excitement.

They already knew before that the students of Huangzhuang had calculated a lot of results, and they also thought that the students of Huangzhuang were fooling around with the answers.

"It is expected to use 370 million to 376 million catties of stone. It is estimated to employ 9000 to 1000 people. The estimated construction time is [-] to [-] to [-] days!"

heard here.

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

"Sure enough, so many figures have been calculated."

"If this calculation is all right, as long as the scope is large enough, wouldn't everything be accurate?"

Unlike these gloating officials, the artisans looked at each other in blank dismay.

Regarding the calculation results of Huangzhuang students, most of them don't know whether they are right or wrong.I just vaguely feel that their calculation method seems very convenient.

If the various materials used can be controlled within a certain range before the project starts, it will definitely be of great benefit to the construction of the project.

In fact, when they were responsible for some projects in the past, they also did the same, but they were not so specific and detailed.

But then, the person who heard the result said loudly: "This result is only applicable to the original bridge construction method that uses stone as the main raw material for bridge construction."

"If a reinforced concrete structure is used, only 7 jin of steel and 200 million jin of cement are needed, and the construction personnel can be reduced to 190 to 220 people, and the construction time is 90 to 120 days."

The craftsmen of the Yanjing Ministry of Industry immediately exploded after hearing the second result.

"What nonsense!"

"It's just nonsense."

"I don't think they're here to compete at all, but to embarrass themselves."

"Hahaha, build a bridge in three months? Do they think that building a bridge is made of building blocks? This is really the funniest joke I've heard this year."

The officials of the Ministry of Industry also laughed unscrupulously.

And the students in Huangzhuang all looked at these people with pity.For these ignorant people, they don't feel angry, they just feel pitiful.

They simply don't know how powerful the cement made by His Majesty the King of England is.

Zhao Helun deliberately put on a helpless look: "His Royal Highness, if you have no doubts, I will announce that the craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry have won."

When the answer was read out just now, Zhao Helun already knew the result.

It takes three months to build a bridge. Like their classmates, His Royal Highness may have a serious mental illness.

"Wait a minute!" Zhu Han stopped Zhao Helun: "Why did the craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry win? Since you have asked a question, you should announce the answer first, right? Why do you think my students should win?"
