She held on to her official hat and shouted while chasing: "I don't care, even if you want to fight, you'd better get some weapons. With such bare hands and anger, what if you rush over and can't kill others?" "
This reverse persuasion was very effective. When they heard the consequences, they stopped as if they were waking up from a dream.
"Yeah, you have to get a weapon."
Seeing that they turned around following her advice and were about to go back to find weapons, Zheng Quchi took the opportunity to come forward and asked: "Can you tell me why you want to fight with the people in Nanlin Garden? I have the manpower. If you can't fight, I can also call someone to help you!"
When they heard this, they all looked at Zheng Quchi with surprise and gratitude.
In today's cold palace, it is rare to meet such an enthusiastic and just official (who likes to gossip and join in the fun).
The official in front of me was wearing a dark blue official uniform with bluestone piping. He was of medium height. I didn't take a close look at first glance, but now I found that his face was small and his facial features were very delicate. His lips were red and his teeth were white. Like a woman.
But this is impossible. How can there be a woman wearing official uniform? He must just look like a boy and a girl, that's all.
But seeing that he can become a third-rank official at such an age, he must be a child of a noble family with a wealthy family or a powerful background.
"My lord, you don't know that we are also being bullied to the point of being helpless. The people in Nanlinyuan rely on the fact that they are palace craftsmen hired by the imperial court with high salaries from other countries. They are always arrogant and completely arrogant. Don’t take us Hualin Garden people seriously.”
Zheng Quchi nodded, indicating that she was listening carefully, and gave a timely response: "Then the people in Nanlin Garden are really bad."
"No, the imperial court originally agreed that we and the two gardens would be ordered to supervise the construction of the Canngling Weir. However, our Hualin Garden had to stay up late and work hard to come up with the design plan, but they secretly preempted ours. The content was reported to the court, and in the end they criticized it, saying that we were indolent, enjoying their Yinze welfare for nothing, and would only hang around behind them, receiving salary in vain, and they did not want us to participate."
Hearing this, Zheng Quchi realized that Hualin Garden and Nanlin Garden were originally under the same department. In other words, Nanlin Garden was also a subordinate unit of hers?
"Then why don't you sue the court and expose their lies?"
Speaking of this, they were so angry that their eyes were red, their nostrils dilated, and they shouted angrily: "We sued, but no one believed us. They said that our craftsmen in Ye State have no ability at all, how can we compare?" Let’s forget about those who have masters guided by famous craftsmen. Just now they are trying to get rid of them, spreading rumors everywhere, and trying to interfere with the task assigned by His Highness to rebuild Zichen Palace and Kunning Palace. It is simply intolerable, which is intolerable!”
It sounds really irritating. They jointly worked with Nanlin Garden to grab the credit, and they wanted to grab the order for this assigned task. They wanted to make Hualin Garden have no performance and be regarded as a useless department.
She originally thought that people outside looked down on the craftsmen of Ye State, but she never thought that even the people in Ye State looked down on their own people, and also helped the outsiders to bully their own people?
"...Who is in charge of these palace craftsmen in Nanlin Garden? Instead of arguing with them privately, why not argue with their superiors?" Zheng Quchi suggested understandingly.
Unexpectedly, when they heard this, they sneered again and again: "Chen Daohonas is not a good guy either. He is from the Kucha country. His family carries cargo on the ship. He is not short of money, but he just has no ability. He can't survive in the Kucha country, so he I took some money to go to Ye State to smoothen my relationship and work as a palace craftsman in our Ye State. I heard that I relied on other people's skills and merits along the way to become the general overseer and master craftsman. What good can be taught by such a person? Something is coming!”
Zheng Quchi understood the current situation of Hualin Garden through a conversation, but she still wanted to put an end to the problem: "How can you solve the problem by fighting like this? Since His Highness has given the task of rebuilding Zichen Palace and Kunning Palace to If you have Hualin Garden, no matter how they interfere with it, they will never be able to take it away..."
Before she could finish her words, the people from Hualin Garden jumped into the conversation: "Not only that, they also laughed at our newly appointed Chief Craftsman for being a woman and a country woman who only knows how to plan wood. She said that she was just showing off her coquettishness to get into the relationship with His Highness, and then she got involved with the Master Craftsman. She also said that we thought we were just giving orders to a woman who knew nothing, and that Hualin Garden would be banned and merged sooner or later. If we enter their Nanlin Garden, they will make all of us work as laborers for them!"
Zheng Quchi's expression froze for a moment.
A country woman planing wood?
Show off your coquettishness and build relationships?
Do they all work as laborers for the people in Nanlinyuan? (Baigong, rough coolies at the grassroots level)
The next second, her teeth were clattering, and an uncontrollable anger flashed in her eyes. Any rational or irrational thoughts, any peaceful thoughts, just get out of here.
"How unreasonable! What happened to women? Women can't be great craftsmen?" Zheng Quchi laughed angrily and said: "Let's go to Nanlin Garden now. I would like to see the people in Nanlin Garden. What great ability do they have that even their immediate superiors dare to fabricate slander at will and let us Hualin Garden people work as errands for them!"
They were all a little confused when they saw that the young official, who had a gentle and kind face just now, now looked indignant.
"No, aren't you going back to get your weapons?"
Zheng Quchi said: "What kind of weapon should I use? I can travel all over the world with reason, but I can't move even without reason."
"But they are so cruel even though they are unreasonable." Someone muttered.
"Then..." Zheng Quchi rolled her eyes and had an idea. She took out two small hammers from her sleeve pockets, then pulled out a small pocket saw from her trouser legs, and two more from her cross-body bag. Chisels, the last person is assigned one to hold.
They held their natal tools in confusion, and the corners of their mouths twitched: "This...can this be used?"
They used weapons to shock each other, but now they are using these work tools for fear that they will not be able to find something to laugh at and make the other party laugh at them?
Zheng Quchi was speechless: "I'm not really telling you to take action. I'm not afraid that you might get frightened later. I'll give you something to hold firmly to build up your courage."
Everyone in Hualin Garden immediately evaded with their eyes flickering: "..."
No way, has their weakness and cowardice manifested to the point where any outsider can see it?
Zheng Quchi just wanted to say, if he hadn't been a coward, could he have been bullied by Nan Linyuan to this extent? Otherwise, if you are already on the verge of defeating someone, you are still being persuaded to go back and get a weapon. This can only delay you for a while.
——
The people from Hualin Garden led Zheng Quchi to Nanlin Garden. She didn't know the way, so naturally they had to take the lead, but when she arrived at Nanlin Garden, she became the leader.
"Gather up your momentum. Don't be discouraged at the critical moment. Think about how the people in Nanlin Park bully you, how they erase your achievements, and how they belittle and insult you!"
As soon as Zheng Quchi saw them arriving at Nanlin Garden, they instinctively began to feel guilty, sweat, and lose their energy. He immediately added a handful of firewood and a bucket of oil to their anger, and had to rekindle their arrogance.
Sure enough, the people in Hualin Garden who couldn't bear it straightened their backs again, turned their anger into the courage to move forward, and no longer chose to take a step back to open up the world.
Before they even stepped in, the group heard discussions about Hualin Garden inside, and exaggerated ridicule was heard from time to time.
"The people in Hualin Garden must be barking incompetently now, hahaha, they are all a bunch of cowards who dare to be angry but dare not speak out. Do they dare to mess with us?"
"That's right, these people from Ye country are begging us to stay and repair their ruined palace. Without the skills of their own people, they probably wouldn't even be able to repair a ruined cemetery."
"Speaking of this, I think about the Cangling Weir they built to block the water some time ago and I want to laugh. They really thought they designed something good, but in fact they just picked up the wisdom of our Nanchen country. What we are doing to them is to give them face, and we are too lazy to waste time on Ye Guo. They are still making noises, which makes us laugh to death."
Hearing this while standing at the door, Zheng Quchi sneered at the corner of his mouth and kicked open the ajar door. He saw several people sitting in the Nanlinyuan office, leaning on the backs of their chairs. He was clearly drinking tea and eating cakes, but he was spewing feces from his mouth.
The palace craftsmen in Nanlin Garden were startled by the sound and stood up quickly: "Who is it?"
Their expressions were frightened and angry, and their eyes were unkind.
But when he turned around and recognized the group of people from Hualin Garden, his expression suddenly became subtle, like a superior landowner who saw the peasants who came to pay tribute. He wanted to exploit others but looked down upon them. Their energy makes them want to beat them.
"Hey, it turns out it's you. What do you want to do when you come to our Nanlin Garden with such force? To cause trouble?" The people in Nanlin Garden were not panicked at all.
"It's really causing trouble. Can you bear the consequences?"
Seeing the people in Hualin Garden frowning angrily and still holding tools tightly in their hands, they laughed and said, "Come on, do it. If you hurt us, it will be up to you whether the generals of the Ye Kingdom will spare you. Maybe you will be spared." After the punishment, I thought you were so incompetent and useless, so I drove you out of Shengjing and told you to go back to your hometown like lost dogs."
The vicious words directly made the people in Hualin Garden so angry that their mouths were filled with smoke, but they were so stupid that they only managed to squeeze out: "You--"
Zheng Quchi saw that all the honest people in Hualin Yuan were scolded and blushed, but he couldn't find a more sharp and fierce retort. He only clenched his fists angrily, as if he was being pinched by the other party.
Zheng Quchi was both sympathetic and helpless. It seemed that few of her subordinates were stubborn and fierce, but this was good. At least it was their duty to avoid causing a lot of trouble for her.
On the contrary, these people from Nanlin Garden, they and their superiors, in addition to being a trouble, may also cause a lot of trouble.
"Is this the Canngling Dam you plan to build for the imperial court?"
Zheng Quchi walked to a desk at some point and looked at a drawing displayed flatly on it. He curled up his mouth, narrowed his eyes, and immediately put on an expression of ridicule and contempt: "Just such a broken person." Is this thing worth showing off to you?"
When the official craftsman of Nanlin Garden heard this, his eyes widened immediately: "What did you say?"
"I said, such a design that cannot be put on the table. To be honest, it is full of loopholes. We at Hualin Garden really look down upon it!"
The official craftsmen of Nanlin Garden were all arrogant and did not pay attention to the craftsmen of Ye State. Now they were suddenly insulted and ridiculed by the people they looked down on. How could they swallow their breath? They immediately slapped the table and shouted: "You have the guts to say it again, but you still don't like it? I think it's because you Hualin Garden can't design it, so--"
"You're talking nonsense. We have clearly designed a water conservancy project that can irrigate tens of thousands of acres. Didn't you just use the drawings we drew to create the prototype of Canngling Dam? We also worked out the location of the dam step by step. Yes, we helped with the calculations for the construction of the reservoir and the improvement of drainage, and you are the ones who enjoy the results!"
The people in Hualin Garden couldn't bear to hear them confuse right and wrong, and directly exposed their hypocrisy.
"Heh, here we go again, why do you say that? Where's the evidence? Who believes it?"
Zheng Quchi glanced over lazily: "In fact, there is no need to argue, because if you want to verify who designed this water conservancy project, you only need to ask three points. First, the process of the Canngling Dayan water conservancy project is the most difficult to overcome. What is the difficulty, data geometry?”
"Secondly, because Canngling hangs over a river, the site selection is definitely not simple. The place you are looking for must have its special geographical advantages. Why don't you talk about the geology of the place and why you chose it?"
"Third, now that everything has been designed, I must have a good idea of the height and width of the weir. The approximate construction period and required amount of money for this project, right? After deducing the important data, it should be put on the table Tell others, talk about the cost and construction period, and see if there are any obvious differences with the design drawings of Canngling Weir?"
"As for the fourth and fifth questions, I won't ask them for now. If you are really capable, please answer my first three questions first."
Her question immediately confused everyone in Hualin Garden and Nanlin Garden.
The former said that they just followed the example of the gourd and did not study the Canngling water control project and the irrigation project in depth at all, while the latter only knew one but not the other. They only worked hard and were unable to undertake the entire project independently. The heavy burden lies in the fact that the design drawings of the entire Canngling Weir are currently invisible but have not been implemented into reality.
If the geological research and design are wrong, once the weir collapses, the consequences will be simply unimaginable. Zheng Quchi saw that they were playing such a trivial matter, and he felt angry in his heart.
"Can't you answer this? Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk tsk, I thought that the famous craftsmen brought back from outside were all domestic talents, but now it seems that they are nothing more than that." Zheng Quchi has always been good at treating others with his own methods. Human body.
As annoying as they can be, she can be even more annoying than them.
The people in Nanlin Garden were speechless by her sharp and tricky questions. They couldn't answer, but they couldn't say that they couldn't answer.
Therefore, his face turned purple after being forced, and he asked angrily: "Why should we answer you? Who are you? Why did you follow the people from Hualin Garden to our Nanlin Garden to cause trouble?"
When they asked this, they reminded the people in Hualin Garden that they seemed to have forgotten to ask who this adult was. (End of chapter)
