Chapter 167 Logic

For this kind of question, everyone had already prepared standard questions and answers, and they had a variety of calibers. Bi Xiaoqing bowed and said, "We came from Chunnan..."

"Can you be the daughter of the Frank craftsman in the city?" asked the Taoist priest.

"That's true." Bi Xiaoqing looked embarrassed and said, "I originally wanted to take a good look at Zhujun Palace. I didn't expect that I would be blocked from here. Now I will not be able to hand in the job when I go back."

The Taoist priest said strangely: "Look at Zhujun Palace? Why?"

"Isn't it the idea of ​​hiring the old Frank man who hired us? He said he had finally come to Middle-earth continent and went to Danyang by himself, so he asked his daughter and the petite ladies to come out to help him find various interesting architectural designs. Why did those petite ladies endure hardship? They are still resting in the inn in the city. They usually rely on our brothers to draw pictures," Bi Xiaoqing sighed.

The Taoist priest seemed very interested and continued to ask, "Are you also craftsmen?"

It is difficult to pretend to be a craftsman. The various traces on his hands and the understanding of materials and craftsmanship cannot be quickly grasped by laymen. Wu Ping'an pressed his eyes and said, "We are just working hard, but we can't earn the wages of the craftsman. Only he is..." As he said that, he pointed and hugged in the corner, vividly making Ye Tao look shy.

"I've just met the priest." Ye Tao stood up in a hurry and saluted the Taoist priest, almost knocking over the teapot on the table. Such a vivid performance made everyone laugh.

"So young and promising." Taoist priests became more interested. Speaking of which, the status of craftsmen was improved, which was inseparable from the rise of Ye's workshop and Dai's construction bank. In nearly ten years, the construction industry has had a clearer division of jobs. Of course, no country or builder has divided architects, engineers, and construction engineers. The standards for construction, engineering and engineering management have been formulated quite carefully. However, no matter where they are, they began to realize the huge difference between engineering management and planning and design, and craftsmen who can serve as architect-type work can be used as architects. However, no matter where they are, they began to realize the huge difference between engineering management and planning and design.

, both status and treatment have been greatly improved. But half of the time, those who have the knowledge and ability are either from a craftsman family, or from a relatively good family background and capable of supporting their children to study professionally. They have to climb up from the bottom-level apprenticeship, gradually gain recognition, get the opportunity to learn, and eventually become an indispensable backbone figure in a construction institution. They have to be tempered too much. But the Taoist priest glanced at Ye Tao's hand, and the rough palm edges and small wounds on his hand were all displayed. This is not a guy who has always been pampered.

"No, I'm not that great. I'm just a picture recorder." Ye Tao waved his hand and said modestly.

The Taoist priest seemed to be a little sensible and asked, "Record pictures?... Have you ever learned how to make pictures at Ye's workshop?"

Ye Tao said respectfully: "Yes, it's what happened last year. It happened that a few people were sent to Yicheng to study work, and the shopkeeper took up a quota. If it were almost two months, he had learned a lot of things."

In the mind of Taoist priests, the evaluation of this young man was improved. Although the people of Daomingzong regarded the Ye Family Workshop as enemies, the more the more orthodox the Emperor Daomingzong continued to build various temples and towers to demonstrate his orthodox status. To penetrate his influence into all aspects, the more he felt the rigorous and complex construction technology and standardized benefits, even if they only understood a little. However, the Ye Family Workshop did not seem to be as good as a treasure at all. As long as you pay enough tuition, you can have a place in the Ye Family Workshop's training system and learn a lot of things that are completely impossible to understand in other places, even some

Studies that have a lot to do with military affairs, such as geological surveying. Compared with Ye’s Workshop in Danyang, the Yicheng headquarters, which started with Ye’s work, is regarded as the best place to conduct such training. Not only those merchants and construction banks that have cooperated with Ye’s Workshop, but even apprentices, students, technicians and technicians at all levels in Ye’s Workshop think so. Among the top ten technicians in Ye’s Workshop, only one master specializing in ceramics is from Danyang. That guy was originally from the workshop of the inner mansion. After the inner mansion, Ye’s and Baishicheng butler started to work comprehensively on the ceramics research and development site.

If you can complete courses such as mapping and mapping after two months of training in Yicheng, then this young man must be hardworking and intelligent. He must be the personnel that the merchants he belongs to will focus on training.

"Since you are here, why not talk about it? What do you think of this Zhujun Palace?" the Taoist priest took the opportunity to ask.

"Master... Then I'll just say it." Ye Tao deliberately made a nervous and hesitant look and said, "Although the outside of the Zhujun Palace looks like a very orthodox palace-type building,... it is probably a bit strange inside. Although it is not real to look at it here, I also think that the front height of the Zhujun Palace and the proportion of the roof look very strange. I boldly thought about it. I am afraid that when the Zhujun Palace was built, it did not really use the strict bracket arch style of the palace building. In terms of bracket arch arch, it is said that when it comes to the bracket arch, it is not really used.

Even the Ye family and Dai family in Dongping are probably not as good as those masters in Chunnan. Zhujun Palace probably dispersed the weight of the stacked roof to the walls on both sides, and converted the weight in the vertical direction into the force in the horizontal direction. The walls on both sides are solid, but they are a little out of place with the rammed earth walls on both sides of the front and back. Moreover, how to say... This form is not a long-term solution after all. When the time goes by, problems such as cracking the walls and water seepage on the roof will arise."

The questions raised by Ye Tao have indeed begun to gradually emerge. The Daoming Emperor did not have the huge financial reserves and talent lineage they are now, but the Zhujun Palace, as the core of the mission, had to be built. There were many hidden dangers in the architectural planning and design stage. A few years ago, by reshaping the golden body for Zhujun, the Zhujun Palace had a major rest and rest, and the cost of building maintenance was increasing every year.

The Taoist priest was silent for a while, then suddenly slapped his forehead and asked with a smile: "I haven't asked this guy's name yet."

Ye Tao scratched his head and said, "My surname is Guo, and my single name is Fen."

After getting the names of the people around him, the Taoist priest smiled and said, "Since the guys are here to come and see the Zhujun Palace, then this is the case. I have a little bit of talking here. You can wait here for a while, and I will ask the feathers on duty today and take you in to see it. It just so happened that Mr. Xin Zaixi, the master craftsman in the sect, is here. I wonder if you are interested in chatting with Master Xin?"

Xin Zaixi is not only the chief craftsman in charge of building temples and palaces in Emperor Daomingzong, but also an architectural theorist in the world. The "Ten Essays on the Yingdian" he wrote has always been one of the standard reading materials for industry insiders. Perhaps the majority of believers of Emperor Daomingzong were not familiar with this old man, but as a person in the construction industry, it is impossible for him to know this guy. To be honest, with Ye Tao's current status in the industry, Xin Zaixi may not be qualified to be compared with him, but at this moment, if he dares to show any disapproving expression, it would be bad.

Ye Tao showed a look of surprise. He stood up and bowed deeply to the Taoist priest and said, "That's great... I'm annoying to Master Lao."

The Taoist chuckled and waved his hand, saying, "It's okay, you guys don't want to stay. I'll come when I go."

As soon as the Taoist priests left, they immediately sat down and looked at each other. What happened in a flash caught them off guard. But if they turned around and left at this time, it would really reveal that there was a ghost in their hearts. Not only could they not get rid of them, but the various disguises of the carefully prepared people would also be ruined.

In this case, they bit the bullet and waited for the Taoist priest to come back.

After a while, the Taoist priest walked over with another practitioner and led them into the Zhujun Hall. The Taoist religious people around him looked at them with envy on their faces, but they knew their own suffering.

Xin Zaixi was directing the construction of a new porch in the side hall behind Zhujun Hall. Seeing the Taoist priest leading a few young people over, he asked suspiciously: "Old Song, are these guys you are talking about? So young?"

The Taoist priest called Lao Song smiled and said, "That's right."

"I have met Master Xin," Ye Tao and his party bowed and bowed.

"It's good to say. You said there is something wrong with the Zhujun Palace, yes, it's really a problem. I have been working hard on it in recent years. However, the Zhujun Palace is really too small now. I guess it will start major renovation next year. I thought I would just extend the renovation time and the appearance remains unchanged. I will rebuild the Zhujun Palace and smooth down all the internal problems. I will run here in the north year by year. I can't stand it." Xin Zaixi said generously.

"Repair?" Ye Tao was shocked. This was not a small project. However, if Xin Zaixi really had a good understanding of palace buildings and brackets. Human and material resources were not a problem, in fact, the structural reconstruction would only take a few months. What took more time was the fine and complex decorative projects. Ye Tao quickly praised: "This is a good idea."

After all, Xin Zaixi was a master of Yifang. Seeing Ye Tao's frowning, he seemed to have understood his thoughts. He was very curious. He started taking Ye Tao at random, and the porch being built in front of him was a good question. Ye Tao has never been interested in palace architecture, but he is not unaware of it. In addition, he is a person much more than Master Xin Zaixi. Even if he does not count his original knowledge of architecture, engineering, etc. in time and space, he can kill Xin Zaixi with his rich architectural experience in this time and space. He answered casually, which made Xin Zaixi and the Taoist priest named Lao Song extremely surprised.

"You guy is a little interesting. What kind of work do you do?" Xin Zaixi asked.

"I grew up on the construction site. At the age of four, I started helping the ink line for my old foreman who adopted me, at the age of nine, I started working as a work shed mailman at the age of eleven, and later I worked as a bricklayer, stonemason, and carving... I was familiar with all the work." Ye Tao answered respectfully.

Xin Zaixi did not have a very intuitive understanding of these experiences. He has always been at the top of the construction industry and never knew how hard the workers below worked. However, Lao Song, the Taoist priest, showed a look of surprise and admiration.

Xin Zaixi just nodded and said, "Boy, you are very good. Stay here to be my apprentice. In the Daomingzong, there are fewer young people like you. Let me run for a few years and you will have you in the future. It is also a great merit to build temples and temples. As for the benefits of being famous throughout the ages, I naturally don't need to say more."

Ye Tao's reaction was very simple to bow for this obvious solicitation and temptation, then shook his head and said, "Boy dare not have such extravagant hope."

Xin Zaixi obviously didn't expect that she would be rejected. She snorted and walked away rudely. Seeing the sudden dismay, Ye Tao didn't feel anything, but took this opportunity. Bi Xiaoqing said to Taoist Lao Song very apologetically: "Master, it's not good for Xiao Guo, which annoyed Master Xin... We dare not let go, let's say goodbye now?"

Taoist Lao Song sighed and said, "Okay, I'll take you out."

I was speechless all the way, but when Ye Tao and his friends retrieved the batches of horses that were temporarily placed in the restaurant, Taoist Lao Song suddenly asked, "Little Friend Guo, I really can't understand. Since you are also a carefree person, why don't you agree to Master Xin's invitation? Do you think it's not good to serve me, Daomingzong? Or... I think Daomingzong cannot let you show your strengths?"

Ye Tao looked at Taoist Lao Song strangely. Asking such a question on this occasion was too suspicious. Although this was their last chance to ask questions before they parted ways, there were too many Taoist believers and low-level clergymen around him. As long as Ye Tao said anything disrespectful to Taoist Emperor, the result would be hard to say.

Ye Tao shook his head and said, "It's just that I don't have that ambition. Master Xin and those of us who are hard-working, are from two worlds after all."

Taoist Lao Song frowned and said, "What is this?"

"Master Xin is well-versed in history, and we all read the books he wrote. With Master Xin's reputation, he is a master who is the same as a corner of the world, but we are different. In Chunnan, although his work is too heavy, he is also valued by his boss and can earn a good salary. Although he has no relatives, he has many friends... he wants to leave his hometown and come here? Did Master Xin ever wonder if we can't live?... Master Xin doesn't understand these."

Ye Tao glanced at Zhujun Palace and said, "Building a temple to respect the gods is naturally a great merit. It is a greater merit to make those poor and helpless people have a portion of food and winter clothes to keep warm... But what about that? If you are really desperate, it would be fine to be rescued. But so many people, with hands and feet, can be considered strong labor. Can you really not be able to survive? If they can't live, they can naturally rely on the compassion of noble education. But if they can live, they give up their efforts for a better life and place their hopes on others, it would be a bit sad... This is the same as the choice I made. Since I can rely on myself to make others recognize my skills, why do you need to let Master Xin give this opportunity? You have also seen that Master Xin's temper... is not easy to get along with."

Ye Tao sighed and said, "Master Xin can be so compatible with the noble sect. It is of course his reason. He doesn't know what people like us who get up step by step need. The Three Saints worshipped by the noble sect is the essence of the world when the Hongmeng was first opened, and they have always called the wind and rain. They... do they really know what we are like to fight the people like us? The compassion of the Three Saints certainly allows the vast number of helpless people to live, but they do feed many lazy people." Ye Tao swept his words and some people who lined up to receive relief food, and he was a little disdainful. He continued, "If it were me, there was a glimmer of hope. Even if it was for this glimmer of hope, he would not be willing to accept relief from others... And relief, is this really the Three Saints' true intention?"

Taoist Lao Song said angrily: "How do you know that this is not the true meaning of the Three Saints, and you are not the Three Saints!"

Ye Tao's words just now were heard by some people around him, and many people turned their heads, obviously unwilling to face such accusation. Ye Tao ignored those people, his smile was so plain. He followed the logic of Taoist Lao Song: "But you are not me, but how do you know that I don't know that it is not the true intention of the Three Saints?"

Taoist Lao Song was stunned for a moment before he understood what Ye Tao said from this very logical but complicated sentence. He sighed and said, "Young friend is not a thing in the pond... There are still many things in the hall, so I won't send them away. Everyone will have a date later."
