It would be a lie if Li Chun said he had never heard of such a strange yet familiar term.
But he was just an official slave, and he used his family property to finance the Sui Dynasty's rebellion against the Tang Dynasty. This was a major crime and a felony. He had been tried, beaten, and imprisoned in a dungeon. It should be said that he was lucky to survive in the quarry.
When he was in the former Sui Dynasty, the largest official he had ever seen was a fourth-rank official in the Ministry of Industry of the Great Sui Dynasty.
At this time, sitting in front of him was a prince!
The best king in the world! His Highness the King of Qin.
Li Chun was afraid, scared to death, because he had heard a rumor that all those who dared to be enemies of the Tang Dynasty would be killed by the King of Qin of the Tang Dynasty. During the chaos of the late Sui Dynasty, how many people claimed to be kings and hegemons, but they could not
Proclaimed vassalage to the Turks. But now, the Turkic Khans are dancing in the Tang Palace wearing grass skirts.
Li Chun was scared to death when he thought that he had donated his family property to fight against the Tang Dynasty!
Li Yuanxing held his chin and looked at the man in front of him who was probably shaking because of fear. The white hair on his temples told Li Yuanxing that Li Chun was no longer young.
"Bring it up!" He clapped his hands gently.
A heavy voice came from the wooden table. Li Chun was curious, but in order to restrain his desire to take a look, he lowered his body lower.
Li Yuanxing felt a little emotional, but he could not change the hierarchy concept of the Tang Dynasty people.
"I have a gift for you, and I have four words for you. Raise your head!" Li Yuanxing tried his best to keep his tone as gentle as possible.
Li Chun slowly raised his head, and with just one glance, his already gloomy eyes immediately became full of energy.
That crystal box contains a bridge!
"My, my bridge!" Li Chun rushed forward fiercely. Bai Erwa next to Li Yuanxing was afraid that Li Chun would destroy the model of the bridge, so he quickly stepped forward to stop him.
Li Yuanxing said at this time: "I give you these four words, which are so ingenious!"
"My bridge! My bridge!" Li Chun's tears welled up like a spring. He knelt down towards Li Yuanxing and kowtowed one after another. The tiles on the ground made a loud bang with each knock.
It struck Li Yuanxing's heart. Li Yuanxing was not hard-hearted, but he couldn't help him.
There is no way for anyone to help.
After nine years of repression, Li Chun needed a vent to vent.
The Zhaozhou Bridge, which has endured 1,400 years and countless earthquakes and is still standing, is definitely a myth in the history of bridges in the world. It would take more than 600 years before a similar bridge was built in Europe, and the technology was still passed on from China.
The person who created this myth did not receive sufficient identity and status. This can only be the tragedy of the dynasty.
And Li Yuanxing is willing to give him enough respect for this person who created the myth.
Blood stains were already visible on the floor, and Li Yuanxing's heart was tightly grasped. After reaching out to stop Bai Erwa who was about to help Li Chun, Li Yuanxing said: "With this bridge alone, I can give you a first class
The title of Master Craftsman. However, I hope you can do better and build better bridges."
"The guilty people will not hesitate to die!" Li Chun shouted with almost all his strength.
"Bai Erwa, take him to the garden and watch me prepare things!" Li Yuanxing ordered, and Bai Erwa asked someone to help Li Chun out.
Li Yuanxing glanced sideways at Yuan Chun: "Do you know what a master is?"
"I don't know!" Yuanchun replied in a low voice.
"Old Sun is a master in medicine, and this man is a master in building bridges. They are unmatched in their respective fields. They can create miracles and benefit the Tang Dynasty. Such people are masters. Now you understand
?”
"My slave understands!"
"So, what should we do next?" Li Yuanxing asked with a smile.
Li Yuanxing doesn't need yes-men, he needs people who can think independently, especially those around him.
Yuanchun thought for a moment and then replied: "Your Highness, I believe that we should first order the recall of his exiled family members, and then ask the village medical officer to nurse him back to health, and then select two boys, four servants, and two maids. All supplies will be provided within the village.
At the level of third-class master craftsman, if you do something that is praised by His Highness, you will be rewarded!"
"It's good to say good things and then give them rewards."
It's really good, Wu Chun thought well, even if this is the level of a first-class master craftsman, it is not a good thing to give extremely high treatment before making achievements.
First, let other craftsmen in Qin Wangzhuang have ideas, and it will also make it difficult for him to reward him after he has achieved results.
Li Yuanxing praised Yuanchun sincerely, and then said: "From now on, in front of me, you can call yourself Yuanchun!"
"Thank you, Your Highness!" Yuanchun said with joy.
How can this change make her unhappy? She can call herself by her own name. This represents an improvement in her status.
Apart from the personal maids of the princesses, the only maids in the village who can claim their names in front of Li Yuanxing are Qiuxiang and Chunlan. Now Yuanchun is added to the list. This is a great occasion to celebrate.
"Go and arrange it as you wish."
"Yes, Your Highness!" Yuanchun's face was filled with excitement.
In the garden, Bai Erwa took Li Chun to a stone slab about one foot long, two and a half feet wide, and about four or five inches.
This slate is rough and ordinary, a bit gray in color, and seems to have nothing special about it.
"How much weight does Li Jiang think this board can bear?" Bai Erwa asked.
Li Chun came out of the small living room and was blown away by the cold wind, which made him sober up. At this time, he understood that King Qin of the Tang Dynasty took a fancy to his talent and spoke highly of him. But if he wanted to gain fame,
If you want to be important, you need to show your talents.
Seeing this slate, Li Chun didn't think it was a test for himself.
After knocking on the stone slab, it seemed to be hollow, but the stone slab looked weirder and weirder. I had no idea what kind of stone it was.
In fact, this is a cement prefabricated board. If the modern old-fashioned prefabricated board is qualified, it is 4.2 meters long and 0.5 meters wide, and can bear a load of 1.2 tons.
The Li Yuanxing Garden is shorter, only three meters long, and the cement is definitely not as good as the modern one.
But it is shorter. Compared with the one that is 4.2 meters long, the force distance will be shorter. In addition, in addition to the steel bars, the hollow holes Li Yuanxing used are treated bamboo, and in addition to the steel bars,
Some bamboo silk was also added to the cement.
It has not been tested, but Li Yuanxing is confident that this board can bear a load of one ton.
Li Chun looked at it again and again, and said with certainty: "The stone slab is too long, and there is a hollow inside. It will break if it can bear 150 kilograms!"
"Come here, bring me two thousand five hundred kilograms of iron ingots!" Bai Erwa was very proud.
You can show your face in front of these craftsmen. Although this opportunity to show your face is given by His Highness the King of Qin, it is also your face that is shown. It also allows these people who have never seen the world to see that our Prince Qin's Mansion is not ordinary.
place.
Bai Erwa remembered clearly that after His Highness the King of Qin said, this manufactured feldspar can bear a load of two thousand kilograms.
After following Li Yuanxing for a long time, Bai Erwa believed that the figures mentioned by His Highness the King of Qin were a bit conservative, that is, they could definitely be achieved, and they could definitely be exceeded. So he asked someone to fetch 2,500 kilograms of iron ingots.
Two thousand five hundred kilograms! What an astonishing number. How could a long stone slab be able to bear two thousand five hundred kilograms?
Even if Li Chun died, he would not believe it. It turned out to be 2,500 kilograms, more than ten times more than what he said.
Bai Erwa laughed loudly and called two of the guards from Prince Qin's Palace to jump on the stone slab with her. Naturally, the cement slab was safe and sound.
Li Chun also had more expectations in his heart.
The iron ingots at Qinwangzhuang are ten pounds each, for the convenience of transportation.
Soon, a team of servants worked in pairs and lined up to lift the iron ingots in front of Bai Erwa. Li Chun picked up a piece and tried the weight. It was ten kilograms. It was definitely a full ten kilograms, and this was
Excellent refined iron.
"Put it out, put a hundred pieces first, and arrange it neatly!" Bai Erwa ordered. The servants first cleaned the dust on the stone slabs, as well as the fallen leaves and branches, and then began to place them neatly upwards. Li Chun also deliberately
I was told not to place it where there are supports on both sides, leaving three inches free.
Ten servants took action, and soon one hundred yuan, or one thousand kilograms of iron blocks were placed on the table.
One thousand kilograms in the Tang Dynasty is equivalent to 650 kilograms in modern times. It is placed very evenly, which disperses the pressure.
The stone slab still doesn't feel like it's about to break.
Li Chun was a little excited: "Put it out, place another fifty yuan, neatly, slowly, one by one. Don't stretch your legs under the stone slab." Li Chun had worked as a plumber and an official slave, and his mood was
He cares about these low-level people like himself.
Bai Erwa also said: "Slow down, be careful of the stone slab suddenly breaking!"
The servants just replied politely and said "Be careful". They were used to being cared for and respected as human beings in Qin Wangzhuang. Even the generals of the Guards here would not yell at them.
Because His Highness King Qin is a kind and kind prince!
One hundred and fifty iron ingots, which is equivalent to one thousand five hundred kilograms according to the weight of the Tang Dynasty. In modern times, this is the weight of one ton.
Bai Erwa's heart was also raised: "Another, another thirty yuan, slower, more careful!"
The servants were not stupid. They also felt that the limit of the slate might be approaching. After carefully placing thirty pieces, the slate was still intact. It seemed that it could really exceed 2,000 kilograms. Bai Erwa's face was too much.
An excitement.
"Twenty more!" Bai Erwa yelled.
While the iron ingots were being placed, Li Yuanxing was watching from a distance through a surveillance camera mounted high up, and the tablet computer at hand was also calculating the weight. It was already over a ton, and it should break, even if there were steel bars.
There should also be cracks.
Datang's cement boards could not exceed the strength of modern ones.
It already weighed two thousand kilograms. When Bai Erwa was hesitating whether to continue, Li Chun asked: "General Bai, don't you know the maximum load-bearing capacity of this stone slab?" (To be continued. Please search Gone with the Wind.
