For Yang Zhi, a fan of machinery, the busy wharf is more inviting than any beautiful scenery, and the large wooden lifting equipment with complex mechanisms exudes this breathtaking charm.

Looking at this majestic human masterpiece, Yang Zhi couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "The way of science and technology can really change life. ”

Songxi Zhong said: "His Royal Highness's words, Xiaguan quite agrees, if there is no these equipment, this Lingzhou City will not be as prosperous as it is today, Xiaguan heard that His Royal Highness has a lot of opinions on the matter of 100 work, Xiaguan has a craftsman here, named Dongmen Prisoner, this person made a picture in Xiaguan a few months ago, and after Xiaguan saw it, he felt that this thing was of great use to my Daqi." ”

"Oh, what can make Songfu Yin so praised."

"The name of this thing is the bridge, which allows chariots and horses to travel between the banks of the river, please see, Your Highness, this is the picture made by that man."

As he spoke, he took out a folded drawing from his cuff and handed it to Yang Zhi.

Unfolding the drawings, Yang Zhi looked at them carefully.

The drawings are a bit messy, and there is no distinction between priority and priority, but this does not prevent him from understanding the drawings.

After a long time, Yang Zhi exclaimed: "This person is really talented, where is this person now." ”

"Your Highness, this person is here now, if Your Highness wants to see him, the lower official will summon him."

"Quickly call this person, I will recommend such talents to my father."

When Songxi Zhong sent someone to find the prisoner of the East Gate, Yang Zhi looked at the drawing and asked about this person.

Although this person's talent is very recognized by him, if this person has any criminal record or other bad factors, even if this person has great talent, Yang Hao may not agree to his recommendation.

Songxi Zhong said slowly: "Your Highness, this person was originally a merchant, and he was a small nobleman, after the merchant was defeated, his tribe was captured by our army before he had time to escape.

After this person was captured, he has been building tracks near Lingzhou City.

A few years ago, by chance, when Xia Guan was inspecting Lingzhou, he was attracted by a carpentry made by this person, which was a small stool, this stool was very complicated, and the application of mortise and tenon joints was incomparable.

After seeing this person, Xia Guan felt that this person was a talent, and he didn't want this person to die here, so he promoted this person to a supervisor and allowed him to participate in some engineering construction.

”

After Yang Zhi listened, he did not wrinkle slightly.

If he remembered correctly, the length of service of the merchant prisoners of war was the longest among all prisoners of war, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that they were sentenced to life imprisonment.

This kind of identity made him a little entangled, but he didn't want a rare talent to be missed in his hands like this, so after thinking about it, he decided to meet this person and decide how to act.

After waiting for about half an hour, I saw a middle-aged man with a little rickety and unattractive appearance running over out of breath.

After seeing Song Xizhong, he hurriedly saluted: "I have seen Fu Yin at the east gate." ”

"I haven't seen His Royal Highness the prince yet."

Songxi Zhong hurriedly said.

When the prisoner of Dongmen heard this, he was shocked in his heart, and he couldn't imagine that this ordinary-dressed, somewhat swarthy young man was actually the prince of Daqi, and he was stunned for a while, and he was a little at a loss.

"Bold!"

The guard Chu Xin, seeing that this person dared to be so unreasonable, stepped forward to take him down and punish him for a crime of disrespect.

"Stand down!"

Yang Zhi Chen Sheng.

Chu Xin stopped when he heard this, bowed down and said yes.

The prisoner of the East Gate who reacted came so sad and knelt on the ground.

"War criminals are captured at the East Gate, meet His Royal Highness the Prince of Daqi."

"Get up and talk!"

"Don't dare at the East Gate!"

"It doesn't matter! Forgive you for your innocence. ”

"Thank you... Thank you, Your Highness! ”

After getting up nervously, Dongmen lowered his head and didn't dare to open his eyes to look at Yang Zhi, fearing that he would offend such a noble figure in the Qi Kingdom.

I can't figure out how he can actually attract the attention of such a character, I don't know the joy and sorrow, he is extremely tormented at this moment.

"I heard you're a businessman."

When the prisoner of the East Gate heard this, he chuckled in his heart, and could only reply stubbornly: "Yes! ”

Yang Zhi nodded and said, "You drew the drawings of this bridge." ”

The prisoner of the East Gate wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and said with a little trembling: "Yes!" ”

"I see that what you draw in this drawing is not an ordinary river, but a bridge over a great river, how sure are you that this bridge can be suspended over the great river without collapsing?"

"This... It's just that the untouchables did nothing and didn't dare to talk nonsense in front of His Highness. ”

"Heh, do it randomly, if you really do it randomly, how can you use such good paper, the price of this piece of paper is enough to eat several full meals, are you deceiving my youth and ignorance?"

Dongmen was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat when he heard this, and hurriedly knelt down and said, "The untouchables don't dare." ”

"Get up and talk, I don't like people kneeling down to talk to me."

"Yes! Be! ”

After the prisoner of Dongmen got up, he wiped the cold sweat on his forehead again and again, only to feel that today's weather was extremely hot, as if he was the food roasted on the fire.

"What do you think, let me tell me, maybe it's about your fate in the future."

"Dongmen, you can answer whatever Your Highness asks you to answer, Your Highness has his own decision."

After hesitating for a while, Dongmen said slowly: "Back to Your Highness, when the untouchables were merchants, although they were nobles who did not enter the stream, they were also quite leisurely, and they did not need to worry about food, I was not interested in fighting wars and catching slaves, so I liked to fiddle with some wood, at that time there was a small river near the tribe, and the tribesmen had to step into the waist-deep river every time they crossed the river.

From that point on, I wanted to make something that could be made for people to pass like this, but the trees near the tribe could not cross the banks of the river, and I tried many ways to do it, but I never came up with it.

Later, the Shang chieftains attacked Daqi, and later, the untouchables became prisoners of war.

After the untouchables came to Lingzhou, they realized that there were so many magical tools in this world.

During my time as a prisoner of war, I learned how to use those tools, and I also learned carpentry from the hands of Daqi craftsmen.

Last year, the untouchables wondered if they could use these tools to make something like a big tree across the Huai River, so that the track could be connected directly to the pier on the other side of the bridge.

”

"Do you know how wide the Huai River is, your idea is really arrogant!"

Yang Zhi said lightly.

"Your Highness, I have made a bridge the size of one man, and the four of us standing on it have never broken."

The prisoner of the East Gate was agitated by this, and his emotions suddenly became a little excited.
