Changsun Wuji learned that Li Kuan had come to the staff, but did not come out to greet him, but ordered Wang Dezhen to hand over the statistical list and provincial examination subjects to Li Kuan. After getting the list, the personnel previously transferred from the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Etiquette will be called together.
The Provincial Examination is in charge of the Ministry of Officials. Li Kuan is now in charge of this matter. The staff of the Ministry of Public Health Wang Dezhen, Yuanwailang Zhang Wenguan, and Zhang Da'an are assisted. In addition, nearly two hundred people are transferred from Lingshi, Shulingshi, and Zhanggu. One hundred people, and one thousand troops from the Jinwufu army were deployed to maintain the order of the Ministry of Rites and Gongyuan, all deployed by Li Kuan by himself.
Li Kuan summoned all the officials participating in the provincial examination at the Southern Gongyuan of the Ministry of Rites. This was also the first time that Li Kuan officially stepped into the gate of the Ministry of Rites. When they arrived at Nanfang Gongyuan, they didn't see a house or examination shed.
"This is the Gongyuan?" Li Kuan stared blankly at the wide area in front of him. It was cleaner than a football field. It occupies a full area of tens of acres, but there are no buildings at all, except for the gate. There is a plaque hanging on the head, and there is no place like Gongyuan.
Wang Dezhen had participated before, and apart from Li Kuan, he had the highest rank. He could only explain on his behalf: "His Royal Highness, Gongyuan is right here!"
"Where is the test shed?" Li Kuan pointed to the empty space in front of him, suspicious that Wang De was really deliberately deceiving himself.
Wang Dezhen replied: "This is really the Gongyuan. As for the examination sheds that His Highness said, they are all temporarily built. If the provincial test is over, it will be restored to the original state, which is what you see now. The chief examiner of the provincial test, these are all things you need to do."

"I also need me to design the test shed? What do you want to do!" Li Kuan looked unhappy. Since the test is saved every three years, it must be done according to the previous style. How can I build it according to my own design? Isn't it a delay
The time of the provincial test held every three years is fixed, from the 9th to the 18th day of the second month of the lunar calendar. Normally, all provinces pass the township examination and the students from the sub-supervisors of various countries will be seven days in advance, and some will arrive in the capital half a month in advance.
If it is a long distance and inconvenient transportation, it is necessary to depart one or two months in advance, and arrive at least three days before the 9th of February. To say that the white spot is to be familiar with the examination room. As for the cost of each provincial examination, some are funded by the local squires, some are self-funded, and some are half of the colleges and half of them.
However, during the Gongyuan examination period, the Ministry of Household and the Ministry of Etiquette were responsible for eating and drinking, which means that the money was paid by the court. If it succeeds, it will not only be a good thing for the old folks in the hometown, but also good people's livelihood for the colleges and universities in various places.
Those who have access can take the entry papers and pass the grades to enter the official position. Some poor students enter Beijing to participate in the provincial examinations, and they only arrive after a lot of hardships. Even if they have excellent grades but no papers, they want to enter the official position. It is also very difficult.
"Let’s do it according to the previous design!" Now it’s just over a month before the provincial test starts. If it is delayed, the construction period will be delayed. Li Kuan did not dare to take this risk and had to learn from the wisdom of the former officials. Just build an examination shed based on it.
Wang Dezhen said with some embarrassment: "His Royal Highness, it's not good to do this!"
"What's wrong?" Li Kuan looked at Wang Dezhen in surprise, and Zhang Wenhuan answered: "In fact, what Mr. Wang said is true. The construction of the Gongyuan is supervised by the officials in charge of the examination every time, and there is no uniformity. Standards, and this is also part of the official performance of the officials in the department of examination."
"How do you say this?" Zhang Wenzhen continued, "According to previous experience, each provincial test consumes more money. Therefore, every chief officer will try to reduce unnecessary expenses, so as to be included in the departmental examination. Is counted as part of his political achievements."
When it comes to this, Li Kuan naturally knows what it means, and secretly despised: "Isn't it just that the money is less and the quality is high?"
If the manpower, material and financial resources for the construction of each examination shed are calculated, the cost of each provincial test is indeed a bit large, which is why it is held every three years instead of every year. If there is a provincial test every year, even if the treasury is sufficient, it will be defeated.
Since it was necessary to build an examination shed, Li Kuan asked the others to return to their posts, leaving only Wang Dezhen, Zhang Wenwan, and Zhang Daan. He went to the Ministry of Engineering and found Du Chuke and the Ministry of Housing. Shang Shu Du Ruhui.
"Du Shangshu, how much do you need to spend to build an examination booth?" Du Chuke replied, "It takes about one or two gold!"
Li Kuan silently wrote down and looked at Du Ruhui: "Du Shangshu, what is the budget for this provincial test?"
Du Ruhui replied: "Five thousand gold!"
Li Kuan went to the Ministry of Rites to find Li Daozong, the king of Jiangxia County, and asked him what the land area of the Southern Gongyuan was. He calculated it in front of Du Ruhui and Du Chuke. Wang Dezhen and others were dumbfounded. Li Kuan was holding it. Charcoal wrote numbers on the ground that they couldn't understand.
Calculated on the basis of one acre covering an area of 666 square meters, the Southern Gongyuan of the Ministry of Rites occupies a full area of 32 acres, and on a per capita basis of three square meters, it can accommodate more than 7,000 people for simultaneous examinations. After this figure is obtained, According to the drawing pattern of the South Campus of the Ministry of Li Kuan, Li Kuan also drew rectangular grids on the ground, the wall thickness of each test shed, and the width of the corridor. Finally, a rough estimate can accommodate five thousand candidates at the same time. Do not interfere.
If five thousand test sheds were built at the same time, it would be five thousand taels; even if the food and drink costs of each test taker were added together, each one would have one hundred wen per day, and the total number of test takers would be 14,000, which is one thousand. Four hundred hangings, multiplied by nine days, the result is only more than one hundred and forty taels.
"How much is the artisan's wages per day?" Du Chukemune replied, "Ten cents!"
Li Kuan lowered his head and wrote that the number of workers is expected to be around 500, and it will take at least 25 days to complete the work at the end of the first month. However, the fifteenth of the first lunar month was the Spring Festival, and the imperial court ordered the construction of the capital to be suspended, and the money must be paid, that is, an additional three days. Li Kuan simply calculated according to the 30-day construction period, and the final completion time was in early February. six.
Calculated in this way, the craftsman’s wages are estimated to be 15 thousand taels, and the previous figures are added up to less than 20 thousand taels. Li Kuan felt that compared with the 50,000 tael budget of the Ministry of Households, it was completely enough. Even if the cost of seven or eight eight was added in between, it could not exceed 10,000 taels, and Li Kuan could do it without hesitation. Then, I asked Du Chuke to mobilize 500 craftsmen from the Ministry of Engineering tomorrow, preferably a master. As for the construction sketches, he is going back to draw them.
What he has to do now is to measure on the spot, and then take the ropes to personally take the Jinwu Guards to measure the size of the Gongyuan. Wang Dezhen is responsible for the recording, and Zhang Wenguang and Zhang Daan are helping to coordinate the work of the people. The division of labor is not in an orderly manner. After two hours, he measured the specific value, and then ordered everyone to go back first. He also returned to the Fuzhong and started to draw the Gongyuan sketch. (End of this chapter)
