Chapter 60 Craftsmen as Models

The total distance between the two of them is only two feet. How many steps can they walk?

One and a half feet!

One foot!

Wang Ge suddenly turned slightly sideways and looked behind You You in surprise, as if her sight was blocked by You You.

After all, this man felt guilty and glanced back casually, but there was no examiner behind him. When he turned around, Wang Ge was already standing at opposite ends of Shao Kei on the ground. He felt that the distance was not enough, so he moved two steps further away.

She carried the model firmly on her back and looked at the husband without fear: Come on, do you dare to lose both sides?

It's okay to destroy the artifacts she worked so hard to make, but don't use despicable means! Don't try to confuse other people's eyes, as if she accidentally damaged the artifacts.

Let’s destroy it openly in front of everyone!

Dare you?

She moved out of the way, far away, didn't she want to help? Come on!

I don't know how many eyes started to pay attention to this side, and in an instant, it turned into a dilemma!

The order in the examination room does not only restrict the candidates, but Youyou is also subject to the same restrictions as the craftsmen! This person also made a prompt decision and picked up her tools and utensils without a smile.

Wang Ge followed silently, and came to the famous drum. He put down the teapot gently and stood aside, hoping that if the little girl failed to pass the test, he could take revenge on her when she failed to play the drum well.

Boom!

The sound of the famous drum that was very close at hand smashed the vicious thoughts wandering around. Now all I can do is watch this damn candidate leave. However, she is so tired that she can't stand upright now. She probably won't be able to hold on for long...

Wang Ge soon straightened his spine and quickened his pace, slapping the man on the face like two slaps.

As the evening approaches Yougu, there are obviously more drums. One by one, the candidates either withdraw voluntarily due to physical weakness, or leave in despair due to failure of the instrument. Those who withdraw voluntarily due to physical weakness will not be forced to sign up loudly when the drums are not as good as drums.

, knowing that among these candidates, there must be those who have completed making the Nine Weapons.

Boom!

"Kou Zhixiang, Jiashe Village, Wangge, Guo."

Finally, she finished making the ninth weapon. This time, Wang Ge didn’t immediately return to the tool shed. She was too tired, really too tired. She had to take a rest. From now on, she was already a craftsman and could leave through any exit passage.

, you don’t have to suffer this sin anymore.

But she was unwilling to leave. Even if she couldn't get a middle-level craftsman, she still wanted to fight to see how far she could endure it and whether she could fight to the last group to leave. Isn't that just peeing her pants? Then just pee.

!What can be done?!

The place where she sat was the same place where she had just made the ninth utensil. She took off her scarf, lightly covered her mouth and nose, and looked at the Nanshan Mountain in the distance. The setting sun dyed the entire sky so softly, and she couldn't bear to laugh at these embarrassed people.

, but what about the determined candidates?

Well, peeing her pants was so easy. Before it was too cold, she used the bamboo basket as a pillow and closed her eyes for a nap.

Using the suitcase as a pillow proves that the candidates need to rest and cannot be disturbed by parades.

Candidates are tired, and so are examiners.

In the examiner's rest area, an examiner surnamed Gu came over, sat at the table, and said: "Nearly half of them have been eliminated."

Examiner He: "Why is it like this every year! Can you tell us how many of them have reached the level of inferior craftsmen?"

"Not yet. But it must be achieved, especially in counties and Hefang Township."

The number of times a candidate has been recognized is also responsible for the five craftsmen in each production area. Each person writes one copy, and the five copies are checked at the time of application every day. The one with the most identical records is taken, and then the entire examination room is summed up. After the examination is completed

, add again using the same method to avoid errors.

The examiner said regretfully: "Zheng Que from Hefang Township has left. He must have finished making nine weapons. Alas, he is too young, so it is normal that he cannot hold on."

Congratulations to the examiner: "Zheng Que will be a master craftsman in at most two or three years. It doesn't matter to him whether he is a middle-class craftsman or a low-class craftsman."

"In the final analysis, this level is only useful to people who have no hope of becoming a craftsman in their lifetime."

"Oh, that's still useful to the vast majority of people! After all, only one master craftsman can come out of three hundred craftsmen."

An examiner surnamed Liu said: "Tonight is the time to test the character of these craftsmen."

Examiner Gu: "It would be nice to have a craftsman in my hometown this time."

"My Xunxi Township is still the same as in previous years, alas."

"The county...is much worse than usual."

Examiner Shi, the oldest, was just taking a nap. When he heard this, he asked: "Have any candidates gone to 'Carp Stone'?"

Even though all the deputy examiners are at the level of intermediate craftsmen, senior craftsmen are ranked according to their seniority. Examiner Shi's status is second only to the chief examiner. His interruption was to prevent private discussion of official matters. County Magistrate Jiang

At that time, they abused their power and disrupted the craftsmen's competition. Now that Magistrate Huan has taken office, it is strange that those craftsmen who have no real ability can pass the exam.

The examiner still replied: "Wei. Starting from the middle section of the artifact shed, the number of molds decreases, and even the artifact bed is empty for a long time. The further south the examinee goes, the fewer molds there are. Who dares to run for nothing? As in previous years, only

A few of the testers have gone back. Well... the candidates are quite resentful of the rules of the craftsmanship test."

Examiner Liu: "Last year I had the honor to invigilate the exam in Shanyin County. After all, it is a large administrative county. The candidates there can endure hardships, and the worst ones can survive until the second day."

That gap is too big!

After a moment of silence, Examiner Liu said again: "The craftsmanship test is the only test in the craftsmanship test where you are your opponent. If you can't even defeat yourself yesterday, how can you defeat others in the future?"

Examiner Gu: "It would be great if there were more molds, a hundred kinds in total... Some are only good at straw and rattan weaving, so they really suffer."

Examiner Shi: "Setting up hundreds of molds actually has two meanings."

"Brother Shi, please give me some advice."

"The simple layer, as we all know, means the contention of hundreds of craftsmen. The deeper layer, still with the word 'work', means that the craftsman is the mold and the craftsman is the tool! Every craftsman will be related to the examination room in the future.

The molds are the same, and the rules for mold making are the same. They just need to meet the standards! Above the standards, the speed of mold making will be improved!"

The craftsman's craftsmanship serves as a mold and as a tool of rules? The more the examiners pondered, the more they fell into thinking.

Examiner Shi continued: "Why does the imperial court allocate so much financial resources to hold craftsmanship examinations every year? The purpose is to expand the total number of craftsmen as quickly as possible and make them important tools for the court! Hundreds of categories of craftsmen, hundreds of types of molds, when each category

When craftsmen can quickly produce precise components according to molds; when components thousands of miles apart can be matched together with mortise and tenon joints, no matter farm tools or weapons, everything will have unified weights and measures, so there will be no need to worry.

All industries are sluggish? The status of the craftsmen like us will also be improved. By the way, the examiner sent thick quilts and hot food, right?"

When the topic changed, the examiner was the first to react and said quickly: "It has been sent over."

Examiner Shi: "Every year I hope for a miracle, and hope that the candidates can swim upstream and reach the end of the artifact shed, but..."

The examiner answered: "But the examiner has to guard Li Shi alone again."

"It's quite relaxing."

"Meditation."

Everyone made fun of the examiner, and even the rigid examiner Shi also laughed.

When Wang Ge woke up from the cold, it was already dark. The lanterns were brightly lit in front of the Yangming Drum, which could accommodate ten candidates making utensils at night. She got up, tugged on her sunken pants, and thought in amusement: Liu Xiaolang must be too late during the craftsmanship test.

I have peed my pants, otherwise there would be no experience.

After a long sleep, the smell of blood filled her thirsty throat, and her hunger was much relieved. She picked up the suitcase and walked towards the utensil shed. As she walked, she sighed that the government paid great attention to the examination of craftsmen, and every distance along the road

Lanterns are hung all over the place, and there are more people wandering around than during the day.

She did not stop. The reason why she rested for nearly two hours was to conserve her strength and go south to take a look at the carp stone.
