Chapter 164: The Prince Arrives
It took a whole day for Chen Zheng to intersperse the fang and the head beam, and all the productions were completed.
By the way, I helped the craftsmen who built the eaves pillars to get all the eaves pillars and gold pillars ready.
The foundation is not yet finished because of the stone structure, which is laborious.
On the third day, the foundation was finally completed, and the construction of this small temple made of beams of the seven-purlin small hard mountain building began on it.
Two rows of eaves pillars before and after, three in each row, stand in turn, below the eaves column, there is a pillar capstone, which is to prevent the base from being too hard, causing collapse.
These six eaves pillars not only determine the size of the whole small temple, but also play a role in positioning, so their size requirements are very accurate, and there is no room for half a difference.
Chen Zheng personally took the ink fountain to mark the line, the purpose is to ensure that the relative position between each eaves column is accurate.
After the six eaves pillars are erected, there are two rows of golden pillars on the inner side, also called the old eaves pillars.
Between the eaves column and the golden column, it is the place where the interspersed fang and the head beam are installed.
Among them, the tenon at both ends of the fang is interspersed, and inserted into the joint mouth left on the eaves pillar and the gold pillar, which plays a role in connecting the two pillars of Rachel, so that the temple will not be crooked after a long time.
The head beam is wedged at the top of the eaves column and the gold column, although it also plays the role of connecting the eaves column and the gold column, but the most important thing is to undertake the eaves purlin above it.
After working for a long time, he finally got a set, and Chen Zheng proposed that the big guy rest for a while.
After such a high-intensity operation, all the craftsmen sweated like rain and were out of breath.
Zhu Zhengrong's logistics work was not bad, and he ordered the officials of the Skillful Craftsman Division to serve the mung bean soup that had been prepared long ago to everyone.
A bowl of mung bean soup not only quenches thirst, but also quenches fatigue, and the craftsmen feel better.
Chen Zheng looked at the tired craftsmen one by one, and said energetically: "Don't be discouraged, masters, we have completed a group now, as the saying goes, a good start is half the success, come on!" ”
Zhu Zhengrong next to him frowned slightly, and after a while, asked, "Master Chen, why has this official never heard the common saying you just said, is it spread locally in Dongyang County?" ”
Chen Zheng was stunned for a moment and said with a smile: "This is a common saying that is circulating in the Red Pine Village of Happy Horse Mountain, and it is normal that Lord Si Cheng has not heard it. ”
Zhu Zhengrong nodded and said, "I see, no wonder this official has never heard of it, but the one who can say this must be a person of great material." ”
Chen Zhengxin said, aren't you talking nonsense? The original sentence was said by the famous ancient Greek philosopher Plato.
But Chen Zheng can't say it, no one here knows what ancient Greece is, and it will be even more troublesome to explain this to him.
So, Chen Zheng smiled and said: "The words of the village man, why should Lord Si Cheng take it to heart." ”
Zhu Zhengrong nodded and said, "Yes, it's still Master Chen who is insightful." ”
Chen Zheng saw that the craftsmen were almost resting, so he got up and said: "Masters, let's practice, it's already done, let's celebrate early!" ”
Except for Liu Bin and a few others, the other craftsmen were a little unhappy, even if Zhu Zhengrong stepped forward to scold, the effect was not very obvious.
"Ouch, I wanted to flash my waist just now, it hurt so much, I need to rest for a while."
"It's too hot this day, a little heatstroke, nausea." 361 Reading
"I'm so tired!"
"Uh-huh!"
A few people were crooked, but they didn't want to work, which made Zhu Zhengrong very untempered, so he had to smile at Chen Zheng awkwardly.
Chen Zheng was also a little helpless, the next work was basically the manual work of the beams and rafters, and they still had to do it.
Just when Chen Zheng was at a loss, three more people came to Shennongtan.
At present, one person is dressed luxuriously, red clothes and ochre pants and small leather boots, full of energy and energy, and one person next to him talks and laughs with him, and it seems that the relationship between the two is good.
There was also a man behind him, whose eyes kept looking at the person who was laughing, and seemed to be very complaining.
Chen Zheng's eyes lit up, it turned out that Li Shuang and the crown prince Xiao Zan were here, and the one behind him was naturally Yang Xiaoping, the servant beside Xiao Zan.
As a person in the officialdom, Zhu Zhengrong's eyesight is even more expensive than Chen Zheng, so he greeted him directly, and after giving a salute, he asked: "Why does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have time to come to Shennong Altar, and it is not the season for sacrifice right now?" ”
Zhu Zhengrong thought that the prince Xiao Zan came to Shennong Altar to sacrifice, and asked earnestly if he needed help.
Xiao Zan waved his hand and said, "It's not a sacrifice, the palace is here to see how this sea whalebone temple is built?" ”
Saying that, Xiao Zan walked towards Chen Zheng and said with a smile: "Brother Chen, I heard Brother Li say that you have been busy in Shennongtan for the past few days, and I should have come to see you yesterday, but I didn't come here for a while, don't be surprised!" ”
Chen Zheng smiled slightly, and said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is serious, the construction of the Sea Whale Bone Temple is a task that should be undertaken, so naturally we must be more attentive, and we must not make any mistakes, and it is also appropriate to work hard." ”
Zhu Zhengrong next to him listened to the conversation between the two, and couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, this prince Xiao Zan and carpenter Chen Zheng are brothers, and the relationship between the two is so close.
No wonder the waiter Wang Liangyi instructed him to fully cooperate with Chen Zheng, it turned out that in addition to his superb skills, there was such a relationship.
Thinking of this, Zhu Zhengrong hurriedly smiled and said: "Your Highness, Master Chen will bow down to everything here, and lead the craftsmen, and we are very convinced." ”
Xiao Zan didn't seem to look down on the people of the Skillful Craftsman's Division, so he snorted lightly and said, "Do you dare to disagree?" There are so many skilled craftsmen, and there is not even a person who can build a temple, and they have given you a fortune in vain. ”
Zhu Zhengrong was scolded by Xiao Zan, and was slightly embarrassed, so he had to smile wryly, but he didn't know how to respond.
Fortunately, Chen Zheng had a good impression of Zhu Zhengrong, and said with a smile: "Why should Your Highness be angry? It is the first time everyone has seen this sea whalebone, and it is normal that they have nowhere to start for a while. Look, isn't this little temple being built right now? Everybody's doing their best. ”
When Zhu Zhengrong heard this, he hurriedly nodded and said, "Yes, yes!" ”
Xiao Zan looked at the pedestal and asked, "It's been a few days, have you built these pillars?" You're too slow to make progress. ”
Zhu Zhengrong looked at Chen Zheng, his eyes were full of help, he understood that even if the construction period could not be completed by then, it would definitely be their skilled craftsmen who would be blamed, not Chen Zheng, the project leader.
Chen Zheng rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Your Highness, you came at the right time, we just wanted to install the eaves." ”
When Xiao Zan heard this, he became interested, and said, "Quick, you guys do your job, don't worry about this palace, this palace and Brother Chen just stand here and watch." ”
After saying this, the craftsmen who were still shouting tired just now seemed to regain their spirits, tied the rope to their bodies, tied them to the eaves, and began to pull them off and install the eaves.
"Well, that's pretty good." Xiao Zan nodded in approval.
