The booming era begins with the director of the Propaganda Department!

Chapter 359 A decisive blow!

Wang Mantang knew that Zhang Shenfei must have come here at Zhuier's request to persuade him. Seeing that he was reluctant to speak, he simply took the initiative to make it clear.

Then she crossed her arms and looked at him, as if to say, "Come on, please."

Zhang Shenfei smiled noncommittally: "Why should I try to convince you? My father said when he was alive that you are a stubborn donkey. Once you make up your mind, even eight oxen can't pull you back. I don't want to do something that is so strenuous and hopeless."

Wang Mantang didn't care about his bullying and sighed again: "This girl is as stubborn as me. I can't convince her at all. How can a girl be so opinionated???"

Zhang Shenfei ignored him and changed the subject: "Uncle Wang, do you know Lin Weiyin?"

"How could I not know? She is a big shot in the construction industry. Our national emblem, the Monument to the People's Heroes, was designed by her. When our ancient construction team was first established, I met her several times when we were repairing Dongzhimen..."

As the head of the ancient architecture team at the time, he was responsible for communicating with Lin Huiyin. "That woman is thoughtful and is definitely an expert on our country's ancient architecture. By the way, she also gave me a book she wrote, called "History of Chinese Architecture". Wait for me to take it out and show it to you."

As Wang Mantang spoke, he instructed Long Danniu to get her own book from the gift bookshelf.

After handing the book to Zhang Shenfei, he said:

"I used to think that the top leader was joking when he said that women can hold up half the sky, but after meeting Lin Huiyin, I realized that some women are really amazing. What school of thought did she follow? When it comes to ancient buildings, she knows everything about them."

He thought that for someone to reach the level of Lin Huiyin, he must be from a family of architecture.

Even if he didn't learn his skills in Beijing, he had to be from other big cities.

In short, as a stubborn craftsman who relies on his skills, he has great respect for Lin Huiyin.

Long Danniu had never heard Wang Mantang praise a woman like this before, and couldn't help but look up at him: "It's just a woman, is it as mysterious as you say?"

"She is much more knowledgeable about the construction industry than I am, even better than your father!!!" Wang Mantang emphasized, "When we were repairing Dongzhimen, everyone in our ancient construction team admired her. As for Lao Xiao, who do you usually see him looking up to? When he met Lin Huiyin, he was still honest and obedient."

Hiss, even better than my dad? ?
Long Danv was even more shocked. Women have no advantage over men when they are apprentices in the construction industry.

This woman, at a younger age than her man, has reached a height that her man cannot reach. Isn't this a gift from the ancestors? ? ?
After thinking for a while, she gasped, "What kind of immortal person is that??? I guess her parents do this, and she has been learning from them since she was a child. There is a legacy!!!"

At the age of two or three, she followed the construction team and then learned some skills. Later, she started drawing and designing. Although Long Da Niu did not learn any skills herself, as the only daughter of the last owner of Long Kee, she is familiar with the process.

At this point, Long Daniu was indignant again: "At that time, your grandmother stopped me from learning. Otherwise, with my father's guidance, I might be able to compete with Lin Huiyin now."

"Puchi~" Zhuzi at the side finally couldn't help laughing, "Mom, you think too much. I heard that Lin Huiyin couldn't even build a wall."

"Impossible... Your grandpa always said that a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." Long Da Nv didn't believe it at all.

"If you don't believe me, go ask Brother Dafei." Zhuzi curled his lips.

Zhang Shenfei, who was standing by, smiled widely: "Auntie, Lin Huiyin never did the things you mentioned."

"Then what does she do? Why does she have the right to command my man and those big and small masters of Longji? And how can she make them convinced?" Long Da Nv was not convinced.

"He studied architecture at a foreign university! All his experience was learned in school," said Zhang Shenfei.

Long Danniu was a little bit unbelievable; "What can you learn in school? Isn't this just an amateur guiding an expert?"

At this moment, she didn't even believe her own man, Wang Mantang. What do you mean, more powerful than her father? How is that possible? ? ? She's a woman, and a woman who only studied in school!!!
Zhang Shenfei sat up straight and decided to give her some scientific advice.

Lin Huiyin went abroad when she was a teenager, where she felt the charm of architecture and worked hard to get into university.

Because the Department of Architecture did not accept female students at that time, she could only apply to the Department of Fine Arts in name only, but actually study architecture.

After graduation, he returned to China and taught architecture outside the Great Wall.

During the 1930 years from 1945 to 15, Lin Huiyin and Liang Sicheng investigated 190 ancient buildings in 2738 counties. Many ancient buildings gained national and international recognition through their investigation and have been protected since then, such as the Zhaozhou Stone Bridge in Hebei, the Yingxian Wooden Pagoda in Shanxi, and the Foguang Temple in Wutai Mountain.

In 1931, Lin Huiyin was employed by the Chinese Architectural Society in Peking. The following year, she designed the Geology Museum and the Gray Building Student Dormitory for Peking University.

"During the Anti-Japanese War, she rejected Jiaobenji's invitation to study our country's ancient architecture and decided to do her own research.

She spent several years researching ancient buildings in our country and wrote this book "History of Chinese Architecture". My uncle just mentioned that she participated in the design of the national emblem and the Monument to the People's Heroes...

You said that our grandfather made great contributions to our country's ancient architecture, so how do you think he compared to Lin Huiyin? ? "

"How can they be compared!" Long Danniu waved her hands, "Your grandfather worked for the emperor, while Lin Huiyin served the people. Didn't the top leader say that? The people are above everything else."

After saying that, she looked at her man with a smug look on her face. Did you see that? My awareness was also very high at the critical moment!!!

“So you see, what we learn in school is all useful,” Zhang Shenfei concluded.

At this point, Wang Mantang finally understood. Wasn't Zhang Shenfei still helping Zhuier to lobby?
But he didn't say a word.

Because deep down in his heart, the child he personally favored the most was actually Zhuier, otherwise he would not have forced her to enter the civil engineering industry but did not force his eldest daughter.

Hearing that Lin Huiyin was so amazing, he vaguely wondered if their Zhuier would be able to be like her in the future if he received proper guidance.

Wang Mantang decided to sit tight and wait and see what Zhang Shenfei would say and how he would convince his daughter-in-law.

Long Da Niu was so shocked by Lin Huiyin's example that she didn't know what to say. She just kept saying that if she couldn't do the work, how could she do the design? This process was wrong.

"Every profession has its own rules, and you learn what and when. It's all one step at a time. How can you skip the previous steps and go straight to the next step???

It's just like when we steam buns, if you don't ferment and knead the dough and just steam it, will that work? ? ? "Long Da Niu argued.

Zhang Shenfei smiled slightly and delivered another fatal blow: "Who says that those who invent must be able to manufacture? Did those who invented the train and the cannon make the car, clamp, rivet, and weld by themselves? They can't even hold a welding gun, but it doesn't stop them from inventing and creating for the benefit of all mankind!!"

"Just like the new radio you bought at home, I dare say the person who invented it may not even be able to tighten a screw properly."

Long Danniu's mind began to collapse. This was beyond her understanding.

She grew up in the Long Kee Construction Factory.

From childhood to adulthood, most of the people I have seen are apprentices first, then masters, and then they become masters. Only after they have proficient enough can they read the blueprints.

This step is also the most difficult, and many people simply cannot achieve it.

There are also some people in the construction factory who learn design from their masters from the beginning, but in addition to learning design, they have to work with everyone in the factory all the time. How can they sit in a classroom and work behind closed doors?
"I didn't expect you to work behind closed doors. After all, you are a woman from Longji, you are not ordinary." Zhang Shenfei clapped his hands in a teasing manner, "Then tell me, according to your process, what is the approximate proportion of people who come out to design in Longji???

As far as I know, my uncle is now a well-known architect in the city, but he can't do design, right? Long Danniu nodded: "My father once said that to be able to do design, one must have a flexible mind, creativity, and understanding... It's good enough to have one out of ten apprentices who can do it."

"One tenth is a bit exaggerated... Have you ever considered that this result is caused by your teaching method?" Zhang Shenfei asked again.

"How is that possible? My father is a famous civil engineering expert in our entire city! Even the emperor and that old witch in Cixi praised the work he did." Long Danniu retorted.

"I didn't say my grandfather was bad, I just said he was a good architect and could teach a good architect like my uncle Wang. But he himself was not an architect, so he couldn't teach an architect.

Architects, this requires systematic study.

Just like my uncle Wang, he is a genius in the construction industry, skilled in bricklaying, tile work, painting, coloring, etc., but why can't he do design until now???

It is because he has not received any systematic training and does not have an expert in this field to guide him.

As the saying goes, a master leads you to the door, but it is up to you to practice. But, someone has to lead him to the door first, and then he can practice, right? ? ? "

Long Danniu has always admired her man. After hearing what he said, she also became interested: "So you mean that after entering high school and college, someone will lead you into the door?"

Zhang Shenfei nodded: "The professors at Renmin University are all experts in this field. They taught design and innovation from the beginning... For example, Lin Huiyin, who became a professor after returning from abroad, taught many people."

Long thought again: "That's not right. If you can't even build a wall, how can you expect to build a tall building?"

"Look at what you said!" Zhu, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up again, "They really don't need to build skyscrapers. They just need to design the skyscrapers, and naturally people like us will build them."

"Dad, Mom, when we were born, you two gave us names like Zhu, Zhuier, and Liangzi, which are all things that can be used in the construction industry...

But you said if there are only these things, can the house be built? ? ?
There must be construction workers, and who do the construction workers listen to? They listen to the designers!!

Dad, you admire Lin Huiyin so much, how do you know that my sister won’t be as great as her in the future???"

Ah, this...Long Da Nv seemed dissatisfied and wanted to say something.

"But, as your father just said, there is only one Lin Huiyin every few hundred years."

If I can’t become like Lin Huiyin, wouldn’t all my efforts be in vain? ? ?

"If you don't let my sister go to college, of course she won't succeed! Only if she goes to college will she have that hope." Zhuzi had a good reason.

"Even if she can't become Lin Huiyin, becoming Wang Huiyin or Ma Huiyin is better than giving up at the beginning. Even if we take a step back, Zhuier is about to take the exam, so if she can get into high school, let her go.

If he really can't pass the exam, can't he just come back to work in the construction factory? Why do you have to force the child now?" Zhang Shenfei also said.

Well, Wang Mantang has made up his mind and threw away the cigarette butt: "If she wants to go, then let her go. Girls are no longer under the control of their parents. I can't control them anymore."

After finally convincing Wang Mantang and his wife, Zhang Shenfei breathed a sigh of relief and was finally able to report to Zhuier.

He stood up to leave, and Long Danv hurriedly instructed Zhuzi to see him out.

The two brothers walked out of Dengzhan Hutong one after another. When they reached the entrance of the alley, Zhang Shenfei signaled to Zhuzi that he didn't need to see them off.

Zhuzi stopped and said, "Brother Dafei, are you interested in those things of old eunuch Li?"

Zhang Shenfei's eyes flashed: "I just chatted with Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang for a few words..."

Although Long Danv was certain that there was nothing wrong in the pond, he did not give up and planned to find a chance to go and investigate.

"Brother, I am not a child anymore, nor am I like when I first came to Sijiucheng from Shandong ten years ago..." Zhuzi said seriously, "I can see that you are interested in that pond."

Zhang Shenfei was playing with his cigarette case in his hand and looked at him. "So what? What do you want to say, brother? You might as well just say it. Our two families are old friends, there's no need to keep us in suspense."

Zhuzi scratched his head and smiled innocently: "Then I won't beat around the bush with you, brother, No. 2 Luoquaner Hutong is now a private house.

Coincidentally, the homeowner asked us to help them repair and replace the tiles three days later."

The courtyard houses are all tiled, and the tiles are bound to break over time.

If there are only one or two broken tiles, you can just find a handyman to do it, but if you want to renovate and replace a large number of tiles, you will need to find someone from a construction company.

It is said that the ancient building team that is now employed by Longji Construction Factory would not have taken on these jobs in previous years.

But hasn’t there been less stuff going on in the past two years?

Workers also need to eat, so their superiors allow them to do other things without interfering with their normal work.

After explaining, Zhuzi told Zhang Shenfei that he would be the one leading the work at No. 2 Luoquaner Hutong in three days.

"Brother, if you want to go on a field trip, I can take you there."

Zhang Shenfei licked his lips: "Zhu Zi, what do you want????"

Since his own brother signed his name to settle the account, he certainly wouldn't think that Zhuzi was helping him for nothing.

Zhuzi scratched his head again and said, "Brother, who doesn't love money? If you really find something in there, just don't forget me..."

Zhang Shenfei looked at him suspiciously: "Since you can enter that courtyard, why don't you go and investigate it yourself?"

If there is really anything, you can just put it all in your own pocket, why bother sharing it with others? ?
You know, that could be a huge treasure.

Zhuzi was just about to reply when he saw the patrol team coming over. After some questioning, they looked at Zhang Shenfei and Zhuzi's ID cards before leaving.

Afraid that someone else

Zhuzi pulled Zhang Shuifei to a remote alley and said, "Brother Dafei, I'm telling you the truth. Maybe you don't believe me, but I did this for a reason that I can't tell you.

If you believe me, I will take you to No. 2 Luoquaner Hutong in three days. If you don’t believe me, then my words today are in vain.”

Zhang Shenfei looked at him quietly, and Zhuzi didn't say a word either, just let him look at him quietly.

After a long time, Zhang Shenfei finally spoke.
