On the first day of February in the 16th year of Zhenguan, the examination shed of the Southern Gongyuan of the Ministry of Rites was finally completed. Li Kuan, who is also the chief designer and chief engineer, finally dropped the stone in his heart. He set off firecrackers on the day of completion as a celebration. According to the original design sketches, he discussed with the supervisors of the Ministry of Engineering and others to continuously revise the project, making the construction period come to an end ahead of schedule.
The next day, Li Kuan reported the matter to Shang Shusheng, and the memorial table quickly came to Li Shimin. There was no extra text in the memorial table. What was more was the cost of the test shed construction. I remembered every account clearly. , In the end, there was an extra 10,000 taels. ァ新ヤ~⑧~1~中文网ωωω.χ~⒏~1zщ.còм
Li Shimin was overjoyed and hurriedly drove out of the palace and went to the Gongyuan for a personal inspection. When he arrived at the Gongyuan, Li Kuan was instructing the staff, the Ministry of Rites and others to prepare the candidates' daily necessities. Li Shimin didn't bother either, looking at the rows of independent examination booths with interest.

Originally, the Gongyuan was an empty place. After each provincial test, the test shed would be demolished and rebuilt when it arrived. After Li Kuan’s design and cost accounting, a quality building was constructed at the lowest cost. If it were not a budget issue, Li Kuan would also prepare pen, ink, paper and ink for candidates to avoid cheating.
"His Majesty, your Majesty will pass you over!" Li Kuan did not notice that Li Shimin came, and continued to command meticulously, and he would personally help. Duke Wu smiled and greeted him. Li Kuan hurriedly responded and followed the direction that Duke Wu pointed out. Only then did I see the emperor coming.
Therefore, Li Kuan temporarily handed the matter to Wang Dezhen, and went to see Li Shimin: "The minister does not know that his father is coming, please forgive me!"
"It's okay!"
Li Shimin didn’t expect to see Li Kuan’s different abilities in catching the ducks on the shelves. He was good at handling cases at Dali Temple, and he was also conscientious at the staff. He was also good at escorting Princess Wencheng to marry, and once again placed him as the chief examiner of the provincial examination. Lastly, when he was promoted to the assistant minister, Li Kuan not only built the examination shed perfectly, but was also within the budget.
Li Shimin attaches great importance to education, especially the provincial test every three years, he will not be stingy. In fact, the budget is a budget, and it does not mean that you can no longer need it. As long as you use it reasonably, you will approve an increase in the budget. Now Li Kuan has done it within the budget, but the style of the test shed is a bit peculiar, a style he has never seen before.
When Li Kuan originally designed it, he thought of the combination of row type and independent type, and the top of the test shed is different from the current roof design, but is combined with concave and convex. Naturally, Li Shimin has never seen it. This was designed by Li Kuan deliberately. The load-bearing wall is the wall connecting the two houses. In order to support it, we have to find ways to strengthen it, and wooden piles are used in some places. New Bayi Chinese website first launches www.(x81zw).comm./x81zw/.com
"You come to lead the way!"
Li Shimin said indifferently, Li Kuan nodded respectfully, and took the lead to step out. Li Shimin followed Li Kuan, and Wu Gonggong followed Li Shimin. First of all, their first stop was the gate of Gongyuan where Li Shimin had just entered, and Li Kuan started from there. Commentary: "This is the gate of the Gongyuan, and it is also the only gate for entry and exit. What my colleagues are doing now is to divide the gate into three."
Li Shimin was surprised: "Why is one divided into three?"
"Father, don't you think this door is a little bit punky?" Li Kuan said with a smile, "Since it is a Gongyuan, it takes an exam every three years. Although it can't be as magnificent as the city gate or the palace gate, it can't be too small. The first is to fish over the dragon gate. It’s not a matter of being an official. There is only one gate that is too narrow, so I expanded it and redesigned it to make it easier for candidates to enter."
Li Shimin nodded approvingly, broadened half of the original basis, it looked grand, and three gates were set inside the gate, the purpose of course is to check whether the candidates for the entrance exam have cheated, and greatly improve it. Efficiency.
"There are signs set up here to guide candidates in different test booths according to their numbers, and personnel are arranged here to guide them." The three gates have become a road again, and Li Kuan has a number in the aisle, and each aisle entrance Both.
"According to the high probability of provincial examination subjects over the years, this year's subjects are within the scope of Jinshi, Mingjing, Mingzi, Mingfa, and Mingju. The specifics will not be known until the candidates participating in the provincial examination go to the official department to report." Li Kuan continued, " According to the different subjects the candidates apply for, then make detailed points. For example, if the number of Jinshi and Mingjing subjects is large, the examination booth will be divided into two, and the candidates of the two subjects will each occupy half, and then the test booth number will be selected for entry. field."
While listening to Li Kuan's explanation, Li Shimin glanced around and found that each examination booth was hung with a wooden number sign, like a guest room in a restaurant. Suddenly, Li Shimin couldn't laugh or cry. It was like taking part in the provincial test and staying in a store.
However, Li Shimin had to admit that Li Kuan's method is very convenient, not only can quickly find his own examination booth, but also shorten the inspection time and greatly improve efficiency. Regarding this, Li Shimin didn't say anything, and continued to walk forward, from the first examination booth to the end, and then turned back.
The layout of each examination booth is exactly the same, Li Shimin praised: "It's so good!"
"Then what's the matter with this roof?" Li Kuan took a look and explained, "This test shed is connected to the next test shed. To prevent candidates from cheating and having to reinforce and thicken the walls, even if the candidates want to cheat, As long as the inspector is not blind or deaf, he can see and hear."
"As for the roof of the shed, it is to prevent rain and heavy snow season. Even if it is postponed to March, there is no problem. In addition, I found that the previous test sheds were all one-offs, and they had to be demolished and restored after the provincial test. I thought it would be too laborious and cost-effective. It would be better to build it all at once. Wouldn't it be profitable to keep using it all the time?"
Li Shimin couldn’t laugh or shook his head. The provincial test was very important to the Tang Dynasty and was one of the ways to select talents. It was inevitable that the test shed had to be built for each provincial test. Li Shimin didn’t think there was anything but Li Kuan did. When I raised objections, I felt that the provincial test began to build the test shed, and it was dismantled after it was finished. Li Shimin couldn't help but agree with it for a moment.
The money spent on the provincial test is enough to support the two-month salary for the soldiers and soldiers of the same government. I can't help but ask a little curiously: "What are your good ideas?"
"This budget cost is not high, but not low. It is definitely a huge sum of money to repeat this a dozen times. Rather than wasting it on the construction of examination sheds, it is better to subsidize poor students." Li Kuan suggested, "It is not easy for poor students to study. It is not easy to go to Beijing to rush for the exam. Even some unfamiliar students have to give up because of the entanglement. As the so-called one penny is difficult for heroes, they miss the court’s grace in their hearts, and they will be loyal to the court in the future."
"Quick!"
Li Shimin nodded his head with deep approval, and immediately reported that according to Li Kuan’s advice, the test shed of the Gongyuan Academy was kept after the provincial examination and did not need to be demolished and rebuilt. As for the suggestion to subsidize poor students, Li Shimin did not immediately agree. This matter needs to be discussed by the DPRK, and the specific subsidy method needs to be determined after consideration. (End of this chapter)
