It's not that Zhu Han doesn't value the craftsmen of the Yanjing Ministry of Industry, otherwise there would be no need to put in a lot of effort.
As the King of England, whatever he asked these craftsmen to do, they had to do it obediently.
It's just that Zhu Han really didn't expect that the craftsmanship of the craftsmen of the Yanjing Engineering Department was so superb. The bridge in front of him was so exquisite that Zhu Han had the urge to collect it.
But such a bridge, which is comparable to a work of art, was built by just three ordinary craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry in less than half an hour?
Not only Zhu Han, but also the students in Huangzhuang were all shocked and speechless when they saw this bridge.
If this wooden bridge took a lot of time to make, they would still be able to accept it
However, it only took a very short time for people to build this wooden bridge.
They watched with their own eyes as the craftsmen carved a pile of mediocre wood into such a perfect work of art.
Seeing the exclamation of the Huangzhuang students, the officials from the Ministry of Industry began to feel proud again.
"How about it? Now you know how good our craftsmen are, right?"
"You might as well just admit defeat in this one."
The students at Huangzhuang immediately retorted unconvinced:
"We haven't started yet, how do you know we will lose?"
Officials from the Ministry of Industry laughed out loud.
"Although the craftsmanship of these bridge-building craftsmen is not the best in our Ministry of Industry, they are also people who have inherited the craftsmanship of their elders since childhood. How many of you have been doing this work every day since you were young?"
The students in Huangzhuang were stunned speechless.
Under Zhu Han's request, although they were not like ordinary scholars, they were indifferent to their limbs and grains, and they only focused on reading the books of sages.
Whether it was farming, craftsmanship, or even miscellaneous subjects such as medicine and astrology, I had some exposure to them.
But after all, they only learn these things in their spare time and have occasional contact with them. They are definitely not as good as craftsmen like the Ministry of Industry, who have been immersed in the professional field for many years.
When the officials from the Ministry of Industry noticed that the students looked a little embarrassed, they immediately understood that their skills were definitely inferior to those of the craftsmen.
This is also reasonable. If they are young and can be better than the craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry, then these craftsmen might as well kill them with a piece of tofu.
Not to mention the students at Huangzhuang, even these officials from the Ministry of Industry are not as good as the craftsmen.
However, this did not prevent them from mocking the students of Huangzhuang.
"I dared to challenge the craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry. I thought these people had some powerful abilities. But...hehe!"
"Hey... you can't say that. I won a round after all, even though it was a blind cat that met a dead mouse."
"It's a pity. This game is about real skills. The little cleverness they had before was completely useless."
"I sincerely suggest that you don't make fun of them and admit defeat directly. Maybe we can still look up to you."
Zhao Helun was obviously so proud that he almost laughed out loud, but he still pretended to be regretful: "Your Majesty, your students can't be considered a loser this time. The craftsmanship of those craftsmen has been passed down from generation to generation. Normally,
I also think about these things every day.”
"Even if they win, it doesn't mean they are more powerful than your students."
Different from their reactions, Zhu Han's face was filled with a strange smile.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. I've said it all. In this competition, the most important thing for my students is the opportunity to practice. As for winning or losing, that's secondary."
"In your Yanjing Ministry of Industry, two craftsmen are actually of this level. I am really eye-opening today."
Zhao Helun exclaimed with admiration on his face: "The prince has a big heart, and I really admire him for his big heart."
He had already determined that Zhu Hande's students would lose.
But then again, how many people present didn’t think so?
Not to mention them, in fact, even some of the students at Huangzhuang didn't think they could win.
After all, the craftsmanship levels of both parties are not at the same level at all.
Zhang Yunjie was worried and lowered his voice and asked: "Shen Longliang, are you okay?"
"I told you before, this competition is related to the bet between us and those people. If we lose, the prince will definitely not let you go easily."
Shen Longliang was speechless: "Brother, isn't this a bet that you and the teacher made with them? What does it have to do with us?"
Many of the students in Huangzhuang are orphans, and some don't even know their own names.
Many people's names were given by Zhu Han.
However, Zhu Han just randomly chose a word from the dictionary, "Yunlong, Fenghu".
If there is no name, just add a word from the word according to the order of entering Huangzhuang, and let Liu Shenhong think about the rest.
If they can't even remember their own surname, then let them choose from hundreds of surnames. Whatever surname they want, they can use it.
Originally, Liu Shenhong proposed that all these people be named Zhu. However, considering the future development of these people, Zhu Han rejected this proposal.
These people study together and take care of each other.
The relationship between the students is also quite complicated. Zhang Yunjie is younger than some of them because he came earlier and got the first batch of Yunzi. Like Liu Shenhong, he also learned some from Zhu Han, but most of the time it was Liu Shenhong.
Teach them.
Therefore, Zhang Yunjie calls him Senior Brother.
Shen Longliang, of the Dragon generation, was among the second batch to enter Huangzhuang, and often studied with Zhang Yunjie. Although they were one generation apart, they were almost brothers.
Zhu Han didn't care much about this aspect, and the students in Huangzhuang followed suit.
This created a magical scene where Zhang Yunjie called Liu Shenhong senior brother, Shen Longliang called Zhang Yunjie senior brother, and Liu Shenhong called teacher.
Everyone talks about their own business, and no one is delayed.
"You brat, you actually learned how to talk back? You always get first place in the bridge-building competition. If you dare to lose this time, just wait for me." Zhang Yunjie said in revenge, pressing a finger on Shen Longliang's head.
Rub it for a while.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Other students also encouraged Shen Longliang.
"If you win this game, we won't have to compete in the third game. Whether we continue to bask in the sun here depends on your ability."
"Actually, it doesn't matter if you lose. The prince values you so much... He will only let you clean the toilet for three to five months at most."
Shen Longliang was speechless. What kind of comfort was this? It was basically a threat from Hong Guoguo, okay?
"Don't worry, I will definitely win." Shen Longliang took a deep breath and solemnly assured them.
Then, he slowly walked out of the team and came to the middle like the craftsmen from the Yanjing Engineering Department.
The craftsmen waited for a while and saw that except Shen Longliang, there was no one else.
There was a buzz of discussion.
"What do these little dolls mean? Could it be that we just let this kid compete with us by himself?"
This guess is so incredible that no one believes it at all.
"How is it possible? Even a one-meter-long mini bridge cannot be easily built by one person."
"That's not necessarily the case. If you are building a single-plank bridge, you only need to cut a piece of wood."
"Perhaps, after these dolls saw our bridge, they already understood the gap between them and us, and they came out to admit defeat."
Officials from the Ministry of Industry came to Shen Longliang and pretended to be generous but actually said mockingly: "Are you only going to send you to fight?"
Shen Longliang nodded: "Sir, I am the only one."
Everyone was shocked when they saw this boy's neither humble nor arrogant appearance.
I've seen crazy people.
I have never seen anyone so crazy.
The Ministry of Industry hired three craftsmen to carefully create such a beautiful and exquisite bridge.
In the end, only one person came out of you?
Even if you are Lu Ban resurrected, it will not be possible in such a short period of time.
Make an equally excellent bridge.
At such a young age, not only do I not know how to be humble and respectful, but I am so arrogant and arrogant.
Shen Longliang's attitude.
The good impression that the craftsmen of the Ministry of Engineering had just had towards the Huangzhuang students disappeared in an instant.
The official from the Ministry of Industry had a sneer on his face.
However, he didn't say much. It was too late to embarrass the students of Huangzhuang before they were happy, so they naturally wouldn't stop him.
"I see that you don't have any preparations. If you want any tools or materials, you can tell me directly. I will arrange for someone to send them to you now."
This is not a good intention, but to make the students of Huangzhuang more embarrassed.
Shen Longliang was a little cautious and clasped his fists towards the officials from the Ministry of Industry: "Please bring me a knife of rice paper, a pair of scissors and a pulp."
"What did you say?" When the official from the Ministry of Industry heard this, his eyes widened in disbelief.
Did he hear it correctly? What this guy wants is not wood or even stone, but paper?
When the craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry heard this, they made a loud noise again.
"What's going on? Is this guy stupid?"
"You actually made a bridge out of paper? I give this idea full marks."
"Nonsense! I think they are just trying to please others!"
"Is he deliberately humiliating us?"
Even if Shen Longliang wanted stones, the craftsmen would not be so surprised. Even if there is not enough time for carving, it is not impossible to use the strength of the stones to build something that can barely be regarded as a bridge within that time.
Although such a bridge is ugly and has no technical content.
But that can still be considered a bridge.
What does that count now?
Could this guy be planning to make a bridge out of paper?
The craftsmen were filled with indignation and felt that they had been insulted.
The officials from the Ministry of Industry burst into laughter after the initial shock.
Many people laughed so hard that they were out of breath and in tears.
"I thought this kid had some great abilities, but I didn't expect that he was just here to make a joke."
"I was impressed by them just now, but now it seems that I am simply overthinking them."
"I want to see how embarrassed they can be today."
"You can't say that. Maybe they can really impress us." Of course, there are also people with yin and yang eccentricities.
Zhao Helun's face was full of worry: "Your Majesty... this is not appropriate, is it? If it doesn't work, I can announce the suspension of the competition and let your students go back and think about it carefully."
"You can't treat such an important game as child's play, right?"
He was afraid that he would lose the competition because of the incompetence of those students. His Royal Highness would be so angry that he would directly regret it.
In the last game, His Royal Highness was able to make plans in advance and build a wall in the Ministry of Works without them knowing.
But this round is about real skills, and you can't win by relying on conspiracy or grandstanding.
"The competition continues!" Zhu Han did not explain anything, but said calmly: "As long as it is a fair and open competition, I will naturally not regret it."
Zhu Han's words played into Zhao Helun's hands, and he quickly ordered: "You have all heard what the prince said, why don't you hurry up and get ready!"
After a while, people from the Ministry of Industry brought rice paper, and instead of just one knife, there were five people holding five knives of rice paper.
There are a hundred sheets of rice paper in one knife, which is quite troublesome for one person to pick up.
The official from the Ministry of Industry smiled and said: "I don't know what kind of rice paper you want, so we simply selected the best ones and you can use them as you like."
After getting the scissors and rice paper ready, the people from the Ministry of Industry immediately moved away. They were worried that if they got closer, the other party would put the blame on them.
In order to watch this good show, the officials of the Ministry of Industry worked very hard.
Shen Longliang didn't think so much.
I took out my pencil, thought about it for a while, and started drawing on the rice paper.
After drawing more than twenty drawings, Shen Longliang began to cut with scissors. Although it was not as pleasing to the eye as the craftsmen in the Ministry of Industry, his movements were clean and very skillful.
Because there was relatively little time, Zhu Han did not teach these students for too long.
However, this does not mean that he has no intentions.
These students were Zhu Han's hope in building the Ming Dynasty. Studying alone was absolutely not enough. He followed the example of later universities and organized many interest classes for students in Huangzhuang.
These interest classes are not only to allow them to learn more, but also to tap students' talents.
For example, Shen Longliang, Zhu Han discovered that he had a talent in architecture far beyond ordinary people.
Zhu Han not only prepared a lot of teaching materials for future generations with systematic rewards for these students with special talents, but also asked Liu Shenhong to organize various competitions for them.
As for the bridge-building competition among these competitions, Diplodocus has always won first place since the day it was held.
In just a quarter of an hour, Shen Longliang confirmed that the slurry lake was almost dry, and announced to everyone: "My bridge is finished."
Everyone saw the bridge take shape with their own eyes.
When the officials from the Ministry of Industry saw that the paper bridge didn't look very good, they all began to ridicule it.
"Is this considered a bridge?"
"Compared with the craftsmen of our Ministry of Industry, this thing is simply unsightly."
"I'm afraid a three-year-old child would look better than this thing he made, right?"
But they didn't notice that the craftsmen in the Ministry of Industry all had heavy faces and didn't speak for a long time.
