My life skills in Daming Liver

Huang Shixing is in a very good mood these days.

By cheating, he got the exam paper ahead of time. After Huang Shixing finished the exam, he boasted among his classmates that he would win the top five.

Wujingkui is the top five in the provincial examination. It is a very honorable thing to be in the top of the rural examination and general examination.

Huang Shixing was bragging outside, and there were naturally many scholars in Yanping Mansion who were not used to it, and everything was waiting for the moment when the township examination was announced.

The Kuixing Tower is not far from the Gongyuan, and Huang Shixing has booked the top floor of the Kuixing Tower at this time, from here you can overlook the scene of the Gongyuan.

His personal book boy has already squeezed into the Gongyuan Square, and will return to Kuixing Tower to report when the list is unveiled.

Huang Shixing was full of ambition, and the younger brothers present also had their own thoughts, and more and more people gathered in the Gongyuan Square.

At this time in Nanchan Temple, Chen Chaoyuan and other students were ready to go out to read the list.

"Brother Ru Lin really won't go?"

Su Ze smiled and said, "Go ahead and tell me the news when you come back."

Chen Chaoyuan thought that Su Ze was arrogant and didn't go because he didn't do well in the township examination this time, so he didn't invite him again.

Three thousand scholars were admitted to the nineties, and the rural examination was too cruel, which is why Fan Jinzhongju had such a gaffe.

In fact, for students like Chen Chaoyuan who took the provincial examination for the first time, it was a fantasy to be able to pass the exam in one go.

Everyone knows in their hearts that looking at the list is just a process of experience, and what if they win?

In the past few days, everyone is either setting up stalls or traveling around, and the main thing is to adjust their mentality.

But Su Ze locked himself in the room every day, and everyone thought he was in a bad mood because he didn't do well in the exam.

When everyone came out together, Han Li said, "Brother Ru Lin, is there too much pressure? Who in our Yanping Mansion has been admitted for several years, and there are very few people in Fujian who can pass the exam in the first year."

Li Qiyuan also said: "Yes, yes, these days Ru Lin is suffocating in the meditation room every day, so don't get sick."

Chen Chaoyuan sighed and said: "When he was studying under Haijiaoyu, it was Ru Lin who had the best grades and was the most serious in his studies. His perseverance was beyond my reach. But since the county examination, Ru Lin has always been It's going smoothly, maybe it's because the pressure is too much."

Han Li said: "The rural examination is like this. Even if you are a small Sanyuan, there is no preferential treatment in the rural examination. If you can't write the seven scriptures well, you will still be dismissed."

Chen Chaoyuan looked at the meditation room and said: "I have already asked Abbot Ci'en to persuade Ru Lin, I will go to the list first."

Everyone said one after another: "Brother Chen is still thoughtful!"

Everyone went to the Gongyuan to look at the list, and Su Ze was still preparing a plan to control the Minjiang River.

Su Ze stayed in the house these days and made a Minjiang sand table with wood and sand. He was looking at the sand table intently.

The Minjiang River is the largest river in Fujian Province, China, originating in Junkou Township, Jianning County, at the junction of Fujian and Jiangxi.

The three major tributaries of Jianxi, Futunxi, and Shaxi all converge near Nanping. Nanping is still the place to manage the Minjiang River.

Su Ze made a mark in Nanping that the Minjiang River often flooded. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Ansha Jiulong Lake Reservoir was built, and the flooding was reduced.

The location of the Jiulong Lake Reservoir is also near Huayang Mountain in Nanping. There were originally several natural lakes here. Connect these lakes into the Minjiang River and build a dam to store water.

In addition to the Jiulong Lake Reservoir, the Gutian River in the lower reaches of the Minjiang River often floods.

The water flow of Gutian Creek is turbulent. After the founding of the country in time and space in later generations, the Gutian Creek Water Field Station was built. There are abundant water resources here, and a mint workshop can be built to make full use of water power.

No wonder the ancients said that the Minjiang River should be governed first in order to govern Fujian. After studying the hydrological map, Su Ze realized that his previous big coin project was really taken for granted.

The five rivers and three brooks in Fujian may not be fully managed within ten years, and this can only be achieved with very efficient organizational capabilities.

Given the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty, it is estimated that most of the projects were also fake.

Su Ze looked at the sign of the Jiulong Lake Dam. If such a thing as the Jiulong Lake Reservoir can be built, it will be enough to make Eunuch Tao famous forever.

That being the case, the most important thing to do this time is to build the Jiulong Lake Dam.

Su Ze made up his mind. This time he went back to inspect the situation near the dam first, and then asked Mr. Tao to mobilize manpower from Yanping Prefecture to build the dam.

As long as such a dam can be built, the Minjiang River will be fine for several years.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door, and Su Ze opened the door, only to see a bald old monk standing at the door.

This old monk Su Ze has also met several times, and he is the Abbot Ci'en of Xichan Temple.

Su Ze invited Abbot Ci'en into the house where he lived.

"Amitabha, don't Master Su go to see the list?"

Su Ze smiled and said: "If you win, you win. If you don't win, you don't win. Whether you look at the list or not can't affect the Beijing list. What's the difference between whether you look at it or not?"

The list of the township examination is a special list stamped with the seal of the imperial court. It was brought over from the capital by Wang Daokun, a Zhigong judge, so it is called the Beijing list.

When Su Ze said this, Abbot Ci'en smiled. This Su benefactor is also an interesting character who can play tricks.

Su Ze also looked at the old monk. This Abbot Ci'an is also a wonderful person. These days in the Xichan Temple, he is often heard from the little monk talking about him.

Although the Xichan Temple was first built in the Tang Dynasty, it was mostly damaged. Before Abbot Ci'an took over, the pagodas of Ci'an Temple were all toppled.

After taking over, the abbot led all the monks in the temple to do civil engineering work and carpentry work while begging for alms. temple.

In recent years, the Xichan Temple has gradually become more popular.

Su Ze didn't have much ill feeling towards this kind of practical monk.

At this time, the old monk saw the sand table behind Su Ze. He heard the monk say that Su Ze took the carpentry tools, but he didn't expect him to be making such a thing.

Abbot Ci'en said to Su Ze: "Benefactor Su, can I have a look at the things?"

"Please."

Abbot Ci'en walked over and saw the exquisite sand table. Su Ze also used the remaining wood to make a small model of a waterwheel to represent the hydraulic mint. Abbot Ci'en picked one up and praised it even more.

"These are all made by the benefactor Su himself?"

Su Ze nodded, and Abbot Ci'en looked at the sand table again and asked, "This is? Is this the Minjiang River?"

Su Zegao glanced at the old monk. You must know that people in this era do not have a map to look at. Su Ze has already decided to be surprised that he can tell that this is the Minjiang River at a glance.

The old monk said: "The poor monk once traveled to Fujian when he was young, and he walked along the Minjiang River back then. From this point of view, it really is the Minjiang River."

The old monk asked again: "I take the liberty of old monk, may I ask what Su benefactor is going to do?"

Su Ze said frankly: "Govern the Minjiang River."

The old monk was stunned, Zhijiang?

You are not a single person, want to rule Jiang?

But the old monk looked at the lifelike sand table, put his palms together in admiration and said: "Amitabha, Lord Su has the great ambition to save all sentient beings, admiration!"

Abbot Ci'en thought for a while and said: "When repairing the pagoda of this temple, the poor monk found a strange book, and he completed the repair of the Buddhist temple by relying on this strange book, but there are still many things in the book that the old monk can't understand. place."

"Since benefactor Su wants to control the river, he must also use these craftsmen's work."

After saying this, Abbot Ci'en ordered the little novice monk at the door to go to the Sutra Pavilion to pick up books.

Su Ze also became interested. When he visited the Xichan Temple, he also found that although the temple was newly built, it was not in the same style as the contemporary temples. Instead, it had the atmosphere of Tang and Song Dynasty architecture.

The architecture of the Tang and Song Dynasties is completely different from the architecture of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The reason for all this is naturally the discontinuity of construction technology caused by the war.

This is something that can’t be helped. The artisan industry itself is passed on from mouth to mouth, and many artisan families have become extinct during the war, so naturally the technology cannot be passed down.

Not to mention architectural technology, even military engineering technology has been lost a lot. Mingxiu's city walls are newer than those of Tang and Song Dynasties, but they are much worse than those built in Tang and Song Dynasties.

After a while, the little monk came to the single room holding an ancient book.

Abbot Ci'en handed the book to Su Ze and said: "I don't know who made this book. It records the construction methods of a large number of houses and temples, as well as the construction regulations of river dams and city walls. It copied it."

Su Ze flipped through it and exclaimed on the spot, this book turned out to be "Building French"!

"Is it hidden in the pagoda?"

Abbot Ci'en saw that Su Ze knew this book, and asked suspiciously: "Su benefactor knows this book?"

I know, why don’t I know, this book is very famous in the carpentry construction industry!

"Zao Fa Shi" is an architectural work created by Li Jie in the Song Dynasty. It was compiled by Li Jie on the basis of "Wooden Classics" by Yu Hao, a craftsman from Zhejiang and Zhejiang provinces. It is a specification book for architectural design and construction promulgated by the Northern Song Dynasty.

This book records the architectural experience of the previous dynasties summarized in the Song Dynasty, and proposes a set of construction specifications, which is a masterpiece of ancient wooden buildings!

It's just that the war in the Yuan Dynasty, and the book contains a lot of slang words about the construction industry, which the craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty couldn't understand, which made the book almost lost.

When the entire content of the book was deciphered, it was only after Liang Sicheng and his wife explored the remaining ancient buildings in later generations and combined with ancient documents and archives that the whole book was deciphered.

Su Ze didn't expect that the old monk Ci'en actually relied on this book to rebuild the West Zen Temple!

It's no wonder that although the Xichan Temple was rebuilt in this dynasty, it still has the legacy of the Tang and Song Dynasties. It turns out to be like this!

Su Ze picked up the book and couldn't put it down. Monk Ci'en asked suspiciously: "Can benefactor Su understand this book?"

Su Ze nodded, he explained the preface to the old monk, Abbot Ci'en suddenly became enlightened, and the previous doubts were swept away.

He said solemnly: "Su Xianggong is a great talent! This book has been copied by the temple, so it should be given to Su Xianggong!"

Su Ze was surprised. The ancient books of the Song Dynasty are extremely valuable. Although this is a carpenter's book, it is beautifully bound and has many illustrations. Many bibliophiles will collect it at a high price.

But the monk Ci'en said: "The poor monk once traveled along the Minjiang River when he was young, and he knows the suffering of the people suffering from floods. If Mr. Su can use the things in this book to control the river, it will be the merit of the poor monk! Amitabha!"

Su Ze is awe-inspiring. He has seen many mercenary monks and arrogant Taoist priests, so he inevitably has some prejudice against these people.

Sure enough, it can't be stereotyped, this monk is indeed compassionate.

The two began to exchange woodworking experience again, and the more they talked, the more speculative they became. This old monk has rich experience in construction and spent a lot of effort to build a Buddhist temple.

Su Ze's woodworker also has Lv5, but he is very knowledgeable and can understand "Building Procedures". After some communication between the two parties, Su Ze heard the system prompt.

[Exchange carpentry experience, carpenter skill experience +50]

[Exchange carpentry experience, carpenter skill experience +50]

Looking at the rising experience, Su Ze only felt that the kind-hearted old monk was more pleasing to the eye. Why didn't he find this good place to gain experience long ago!

Upstairs in Kuixing, the crowd suddenly became commotion.

"The list is up!"

Huang Shixing pretended to be calm, but actually regretted why he didn't go to see the list in person.

At this moment, he was very disturbed, and he just hoped that the book boy who was running errands would come back soon.

But I don't want the book boy to come back too soon, because the Beijing list is hung from bottom to top, the first to be exposed is the lower ranking, and the first to see is the lower ranking.

At this time, relying on the strong physique of Yu Zong Dynasty's military background, Chen Chaoyuan and others have also squeezed into the list.

"Fujian Township Examination 90, Huang Shixing, Nanping County, Yanping Prefecture, Fujian Province, Book of Changes".

The first name was someone they knew, and everyone took a breath.

This Mr. Huang really hit the mark. Thinking of the other party's age, everyone felt mixed feelings.

The Beijing list was slowly hung up, and everyone's hearts were in suspense, but after seeing more than forty people, there were still no Nanping scholars on the list.

I didn't dare to think about it any further, Chen Chaoyuan sighed, didn't he count the center? It's just a fantasy.

Upstairs in Kuixing, many princes were waiting anxiously, when they heard the sound of climbing the stairs.

"I got it! Young Master got it!"

Huang Shixing's book boy rushed upstairs and shouted excitedly.

But Huang Shixing's heart skipped a beat, he won the list before the Beijing list was finished?

A follower pulled the bookboy and asked, "Win? How many?"

The book boy rushed over and said, "Congratulations, young master! Ninety in the high school township examination!"

Now Kuixing upstairs couldn't bear it any longer, and many scholars who were forcibly invited by Huang Shixing, or who came here for a meal, laughed.

Isn't the ninetieth place the last one?

Huang Shixing's face was ashen.

At this time, one of his hard-core followers jumped up and said: "Impossible! Brother Huang is the last one? There must be something wrong! There must be a re-examination!"

The re-examination is the re-examination of the candidates who have won the list. Because of more and more fraudulent cases in the imperial examination, many examiners will have a re-examination.

There are also cases where candidates feel that the grades are unfair and make trouble until the examiner finally decides to retake the exam.

Hearing the retest, Huang Shixing's face turned even paler, and he quickly said: "Anyway, I won, and the last one is also won, drink and drink!"

The attendant still said stubbornly: "Who is Jie Yuan? Is he from Fuzhou Prefecture again? Every time he is Jie Yuan from Fuzhou Prefecture, is there any fairness?"

The scholars of Yanping Mansion upstairs in Kuixing Tower were all excited.

Chen Chaoyuan and others who were looking at the list also felt that it was very tragic. So far, only three people from Yanping Mansion were on the list, and there was not a single scholar from Yanping Mansion in the top forty.

Over the years, Fuzhou Prefecture and Quanzhou Prefecture have widened the gap with other prefectures. In recent decades, Jieyuan has almost come from the two prefectures.

The scholar of Yanping Mansion felt that his face was dull, and when the Beijing list was all pulled up, Chen Chaoyuan rubbed his eyes.

"No. 1 in Fujian Provincial Examination, Suze, Nanping County, Yanping Prefecture, Fujian Province, Spring and Autumn"!

The college entrance examination was scored yesterday. If there are readers in the college entrance examination, I wish you a title on the gold list!
