Tian Liang and several King Kong guards installed a total of eight four-wheeled and four-horse rubber-tyred carts, which were specially used for pulling stones. If you are ready to pass the trial, you will go to Fangshan to pull stones. Someone from the quarry sent a message saying that the stones had been chiseled. The prince told the messenger to go to the car to pull it immediately.

In order to ensure that there were no accidents on the road, the prince asked Tian Liang to check again whether the parts of each part of the cart were loose or unlubricated. At this time, Ma Ping, a member of the Ministry of Labor, came to the house. When Ma Ping saw several new carriages parked at the door of the treasury, he screamed and pounced. Rao is a scientific and technological talent belonging to Ma Ping in this era, and he has never seen a large-capacity, high-load carriage with aluminum alloy wheels, rubber tires and four horses running side by side. That's too out of line, isn't it? What kind of person is this idea? What a master!

He stroked the wheels of the cart, carefully observed, and muttered to himself. The prince teased him and said, "The horse must be a monkey, right?" It's higher than a monkey jumping. ”

"Lord Wang! You tell Xiaguan, how can the wheels of this car be so fine? Ma Ping couldn't reply to the prince's ridicule, and asked eagerly.

"It is not good, why should the king bring it back? If you can clone it, you can make a wheel like this. ”

"But what kind of dragon is a dragon? You're too profound. ”

When the prince heard Ma Ping's words, he laughed and didn't explain, but he would be afraid when he told the detailed meaning of cloning.

"The lower official greets the prince, the prince is auspicious! The prince is a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old! The lower officials have come to report to you. The emperor sent someone to the imperial tomb to find the lower officials, saying that he wanted the lower officials to cooperate with you to complete a big business. ”

The prince pulled Ma Ping up in time: "It's good to come!" Rain in time! Ma Yuanwai was the one who designed the imperial tomb, and it was overkill to help the king build an ice cellar. The ice cellar and the underground palace of the mausoleum seem to be somewhat similar, and this task is none other than the horseman. ”

"Huh! The next officer receives the order! ”

"The horsemen must be very tired from the dusty journey, so let's rest today. By the way, visit your master Mr. Chen, and you will eat and live there in the future, and then the king will arrange for someone to send you the grain, oil, eggs and vegetables to Mr. ”

"Huh! The lower official thanked the prince for taking care of him, so the lower official went to the gentleman to disturb him. ”

Mr. Chen is the master of Ma Ping Jinshi, and the two met in Zunhua County. At that time, Ma Ping was sent by the emperor to Zunhua to prepare for the construction of the filial piety tomb, and several experts were also sent to build the tomb. They have to design the drawings well, and the emperor can approve them before they can proceed to the next step, so they must have a place to eat and live. Xiaoling is in Zunhua County, and the matter of building the tomb has to be vigorously cooperated by the magistrate of Zunhua County. For example, there are many specific arrangements for people's husbands, vehicles, horses, accommodation, food and other matters, and Mr. Chen was the Zunhua Zhixian at that time.

Successive emperors have been building mausoleums since the day they ascended the throne. The address of Shunzhi's filial piety is set in Zunhua County, where Mr. Chen works.

Due to the similarity of personality, conduct, learning, and hobbies, over the past few years, the two have become close friends. At the same time, because both of them are not high-grade Hanchens, many of their political views are also very similar. The only difference is that Chen Zhixian's attainments in painting, calligraphy, and gold and stone are much higher than Ma Ping's, and his appreciation of antiques is also quite powerful. The cultural heritage of Chen Zhixian is quite rich, and it has been scholarly for generations. Although there are constantly children of the clan entering the official career, they are still heirlooms of poetry and books.

Ma Ping is very interested in the excavated antiquities, and at the same time he is also very interested in instruments and other objects. In this way, he worshipped Chen Zhixian as his teacher, in fact, he was two years older than his master.

Now Mr. Chen has left the officialdom and was invited by the prince to the mansion to be the prince and the west seat of Gege. In addition, Tian Liang's daughter Rui'er has only three children in total, all of whom are very obedient, smart and clever, so don't worry too much.

After a few words of greeting between the master and apprentice, Mr. Chen instructed his wife to go to the kitchen to prepare a banquet, talk about the wine, and talk about what the prince wanted to do. Ma Ping said: "The emperor suddenly sent someone to the construction site of the imperial tomb to find a disciple, and he was summoned to the palace overnight. In the Qianqing Palace, the emperor was very excited, and told his disciple that Prince Rui was going to load silver into the treasury, and he also frightened the disciple. Throughout the ages, how many princes have been in business? All princes are royal relatives and nobles, and they are people who are used to being pampered. He just asked the emperor for silver endlessly, how could he make money hard and then send the silver to the treasury? This kind of mind and this realm is really not something that ordinary people in the world can have. ”

"At the meeting that day, the prince said that he couldn't lie on the merit book, he couldn't eat a vegetarian meal, and he had to do something. Do you know? At that time, the old man was really moved! The gentleman said.

"Yes, otherwise the emperor would be so excited and excited. The emperor asked his disciples to help the prince well, and if he couldn't help, he would learn from the prince. I just came to see the prince, and I immediately saw the tire carriage in the house, which is called excellent, we don't have such a carriage in the Qing Dynasty! The prince also asked his disciples to design the ice cellar. The disciple is here to trouble the master, you give the disciple a place to live, and in front of you, the disciple can be casual. ”

"Well, you just rest and do things in my study. There are ready-made beds and futons in the study, and you can eat with me, don't be restrained. Tell me what you need. ”

"It's really bothering the master. The disciple hasn't said hello to his sister and sister yet. ”

"You don't have to be so polite, everyone is not an outsider."

At this time, Yun'er came to her parents' yard to deliver milk to the child. Hearing the child's movements, he went upstairs directly to the Xinuan Pavilion where his parents lived. The gentleman greeted his daughter at the door of the study in the east house and said, "Yun'er, the horse crew has come here." ”

Ma Ping hurriedly picked up his clothes and knelt down, and kowtowed to Yun'er: "Xiaguan Ma Ping asks for peace to the side Fujin, and the side Fujin is auspicious!" ”

Yun'er is the prince's daughter, although it is a side room, officials below the third rank still have to kowtow to her.

"Horseman, please get up quickly, you are Yun'er's senior brother, Yun'er should give you a gift, aren't you killing Yun'er like this?"

"The lower official is the courtesy of the monarch and the minister, please sit down."

Yun'er sat down with a smile and asked about Ma Ping's family. Ma Ping said: "Xiaguan hasn't gone home yet." It was the emperor who brought the lower officials from the construction site of the imperial mausoleum, and as soon as he arrived at the mansion, the prince asked the lower officials to design the ice cellar. ”

"The horse member was chatting with his father first, and Yun'er suddenly remembered something and temporarily retired." Saying that, he hurried away.

Mr. Chen smiled bitterly and said, "I saw your junior sister, she is so popular, it is rare how the prince tolerates her." ”

"The prince is not tolerant, he likes it. A capable woman like my sister is in any palace? Those Fujin and side Fujin are all pampered and intriguing experts. How can they compare with their junior sisters? ”

"That is, you admire your junior sister."

As she spoke, Yun'er hurried back again. In her hand she held a flat black box of one foot square, and the two personal maids who came with her, one holding a very flat board in both hands, and the other holding a long, transparent thing in her hand, as if it were a ruler.

"What is this?" The gentleman asked, puzzled.

Yun'er said with a smile: "In the morning, I rummaged through the cabinets and happened to come across this drawing instrument. Yun'er bought a few sets over there, including one outside the horse. Hearing that you said that the prince asked the horsemen to design the ice cellar, Yun'er remembered. Sister Yu'er, come over here and put the drawing board on the table for me. See if there's any water down there? ”

Yu'er quickly wiped the table of the Eight Immortals with a rag before placing the drawing tablet on the table. Yun'er straightened the drawing board, reached out and took a fully transparent, plexiglass drawing ruler, also called a T-shaped ruler, in Shui'er's hand and placed it on the board, and the left side was tight. Then she put two triangular plastic plates on the T-ruler, took out a sharpened Chinese brand drawing pencil from the box in her hand, and said to Ma Ping: "This is a set of drawing instruments, which is more precise." The engineering drawings of our Daqing Dynasty are all drawn with brushes, and the thickness of the strokes is different, and the proportions are not very accurate. This one is a bit more high-end. You see, this T-ruler is stuck on the drawing board, and it is 90 degrees vertically and vertically. These two triangles are used for drawing. So it's vertical, this one with a slope is 30 degrees, and this one is 45 degrees. ”

Ma Ping's eyes were about to fall out, where had he ever seen such a sophisticated drawing instrument! Where is this knowledge that a woman like my sister should know?

"Also, I have a compass in this box, this one with pointed feet is a sub-compass, and this one is a drawing rule. After dividing the gauge into angles or equal parts, use the drawing gauge. In this box are drawing pens of different thicknesses, brushes. The thickest one is the No. 1 pen, in order. This is a drawing pencil, use it to outline first, and then use the drawing pen to draw it formally. If you make a mistake with this pencil, use this eraser to erase it and draw again. There's already ink in the drawing pen, and Yun'er has brought you a bottle of spare ...... It's up to you to practice it. It's good to be familiar. ”

Ma Ping wanted to cry out loud! My sister actually gave herself such a precious gift! How convenient and comfortable it will be to draw pictures in the future? In the Qing Dynasty, there was no such sophisticated drawing instrument, but the first to use it was yourself! Ma Ping knelt down again and kowtowed to Yun'er three times: "Lord Wang, Fang Fujin, Master, your love and expectations for the lower officials have been understood, and the lower officials must live up to it...... Whining...... Ma Ping really cried, he was moved.

The gentleman smiled and said, "I've never seen a horse rider so excited." You will take what Yun'er gives you, and exercise and use it if you have nothing to do. It's strange over there, so you have to be familiar with it. ”

"Yes, yes! Xia Guan must master these drawing instruments from foreign lands as soon as possible. ”

"In addition, Yun'er also prepared a little gift for your family, nothing more than food, clothing, and play, and when you return home, send someone to help you send it back."

"Thank you! Thank you Lord Wang, thank you for your love! ”

"Also, the prince asked me to give this to you, this is the drawing of the greenhouse, which was drawn by a professor over there, you take a look first, how do people draw it? Let's take a look at the content. The gentleman said.

Ma Ping was pleasantly surprised to take the kraft paper bag.

After talking about business, Mr. wanted to remind Ma Ping of his thoughts, after all, it was his disciple who called him Mr., but he was very hesitant, and after thinking about it for a long time, he didn't know how to say this.

"Sir, have something to say? Do we still need to consider the words and phrases? ”

"No, I'm afraid to hit you if I say it."

"You're out of sight, aren't you? What else do you have to say in front of your disciples? ”

"Your talent is indeed beyond my reach, but the person who designed and built the Imperial Mausoleum will ...... as soon as the Imperial Mausoleum project is completed."

"The disciple understands that in all dynasties, the people who designed and built the imperial mausoleum were sealed in the tomb as soon as the imperial mausoleum project was completed, which was equivalent to giving the emperor a burial, so why didn't the disciple understand? But the holy will is hard to violate, thunder, rain and dew are all Jun's grace. Ma Ping sighed deeply, in fact, he was a bit lucky, the emperor was only in his early twenties, and there were still decades before the funeral, so he didn't have to bury himself before he left. But how did he know that the emperor would drive west the year after tomorrow? He understood what Mr. meant, and wanted him to take the opportunity to help the prince leave the construction site of the imperial mausoleum, so that he would not have to accompany the funeral at that time. Of course, he didn't want to be buried with him, but he really couldn't help himself.

"I will intercede with the prince for you, and then you behave well, and the prince will leave you behind."

"Really, that's great. Several colleagues on the side of the imperial mausoleum showed their style, no one was convinced, they all wanted to use their own designs to build the imperial mausoleum, and it would be famous through the ages, I didn't want to compete with them for anything, and when I heard that the emperor was looking for me to go back to the palace, I hated to be able to connect a pair of rabbit legs. ”

"As soon as people die, I have never heard of the person who accompanies the funeral who can be famous through the ages, and the dead are all dead, even if the eternal people can't enjoy that vanity, it seems to be a little wronged. So, I suggest that you must behave well during this time, it is best for the prince to reuse you, the prince and the emperor go up to intercede for you, the emperor has no one who does not give face, didn't you escape at that time? ”

"Thank you for your guidance, the disciple will definitely do his best to get the favor of the prince."
