Chapter 359 Famous Architects

Planting trees and flowers is only the tip of the iceberg of the large-scale construction of Guanlou Village, which is more than 200,000 yuan, which is equivalent to a large amount of money paid by the two upper states in a year, and is invested in the small land of Guanlou Village, which immediately shows the magic of capital.

As long as there is capital, the desert can be built into an oasis, not to mention the proximity of Guanlou Village to the Yellow River, an important water conservancy and transportation hub.

In order to better load and unload timber, although Guanlou Village is not a crossing of the Yellow River, a simple dock was built for unloading.

The stone was prepared for the whole winter, and it was necessary for craftsmen to chisel it with iron to create the desired pattern little by little.

One hundred and ten three-storey small buildings, based on Zheng Zhutou's previous houses, are digging deep foundations, although the appearance design is different, but the overall configuration is the same.

Spring returns to the earth, everything recovers, now is before spring ploughing, the most leisurely time, many idle people nearby, have come to Guanlou Village to find some work, earn some extra money.

If you have a skill, the salary will be more generous. Even if you don't know anything, as long as you have the strength of your arm, you can find an errand, but the money is much less.

The stalls are a little open, and Wen Qihang naturally can't ask about everything, and the only thing he is most concerned about now is the 'Deren Hall' and a building named 'Phoenix Grand Theater'.

These two buildings are a huge challenge for today's building technology. In particular, the construction of the 'Phoenix Grand Theater', according to the requirements of Wen Qihang, the hall with a length of 55 meters and a width of 77 meters is not allowed to be supported by a single pillar.

For this reason, the theater is now largely suspended, and there is no sign of any construction except for some handymen clearing the ground.

"It's a New Year's greeting to Brother Wen."

A large group of gentlemen stood in front of Wen Qihang and congratulated him.

"You didn't go with the generals?"

Since the farewell of the palace banquet, Wen Qihang has never seen this group of gentlemen, their fathers have now gone to the local service, but they have left these black sheep to continue to plague the Jingshi, Wen Qihang couldn't help but shake his head.

"Brother Wen doesn't know, the brothers have to stay in Beijing to guard the family business." Takachi Jun sighed.

Wen Qihang smiled: "Yes, now you are free, you can do whatever you want, and no one will control you anymore." ”

"Then it's all up to Brother Wen." Pan Huai is holding his fists.

"What do you mean?" Wen Qihang was stunned.

"When your uncles left Beijing, they had already told my brothers and us, and I came to listen to my brothers." Cao Can took out an envelope and handed it to Wen Qihangdao.

“........”

Wen Qihang finished reading the letter left by Cao Bin, and his whole face darkened.

That group of bastards, who ran to the place to get away with it, became the king of the mountain, but entrusted the responsibility of the group of gentlemen in front of them to themselves.

According to the nature of this group of guys, if you have a fight today, a fight tomorrow, and a people's girl the day after tomorrow, don't you have to let yourself carry these black pots.

"I'm afraid that's not appropriate?" Wen Qihang refused.

"My father knew that Brother Wen might refuse, this is a letter from my father to Brother Wen." Shi Baoji stepped forward with the letter.

Wen Qihang took the letter suspiciously, opened it and read it, and in an instant, his face became as black as the bottom of a pot.

"When you get to the place, you are the prince, you can do whatever you want, and all the officials will sell you some face. But what about in Beijing? You're counting that onion! Why can't you think about it so much? Wen Qihang said with a pulling face.

"Brother Wen thinks that the brothers want to stay in Jingshi!" Pan Huaizheng smiled bitterly and said, "But there are always people to keep at home." ”

“........”

No wonder these guys have such ugly faces, it turns out that they were thrown out as outcasts again. This is being treated as a proton!

After all, the eldest son is a proton, and if he stays alone in the flowery world of Jingshi, it is not only easy to learn badly, but if he is used by political enemies, it will be too late to rescue him. What's more important is that in the future, the eldest sons will inherit the family business, so they will naturally stay by their side and teach carefully.

As for these concubines who are hostages, if they really reach the point of last resort, they will give up and give up. But in any case, after all, they are also their own children, and it is still very necessary to arrange a back road for them.

As long as you look at this group of gentlemen, you can find that Cao Can is the only eldest son among them, and you can know how those generals who claim to be loyal are disobedient to yin and yin, and each has a ghost.

It is no wonder that Zhao Lao Er wanted to deprive them of their military rights when the world was not stable, because he was afraid that the previous events would repeat themselves, and these generals also rebelled and became emperors.

The Cao family was able to be prosperous and wealthy later, and there were several queens, and it seems that it is not for nothing. Zhao Lao Er once left a sentence in the history books: Those who do not deceive their masters are the only ones who have a good ear.

At least in the eyes of Zhao Laoer, these generals who fought with him were only Cao Bin, a loyal minister.

"Okay, since you guys are pleased, I won't shirk it. But the ugly words are said in the front, we brothers belong to brothers, but my principle is not to eat idle meals.

From tomorrow onwards, you will each be in charge of a project, especially the theater in front of you, and you must find a skilled craftsman who can follow suit.

You guys are wandering around the capital all day long, so you must have some way, right? ”

There are free strong men, no need to use in vain, although these gentlemen are poor, but they can't stand their literacy! In these years, as long as you are literate, you are a high-end talent.

"A skilled craftsman? My brother had heard of one, but he was not very easy to invite. Pan Huaizheng pondered.

"Oh, that one?"

"This person's name is Yu Hao, and he has made achievements in the construction process. It's just that he spends most of his time building towers in other places, and it's hard to find. Pan Huaizheng introduced.

“........ That's it! Smell the sail and make a final decision. The name Yu Hao may be a little unfamiliar, but when it comes to the Leaning Tower of Kaifeng that he built, it is very famous.

About the Leaning Tower of Kaifeng, there is even a famous legend left. At that time, people asked Yu Hao why he wanted to build the tower into an inclined tower, and Yu Hao said: Jingshi is flat and mountainless, and the northwest wind blows more, and after a hundred years, the tower will be blown right.

Sure enough, a hundred years later, the tower is right, just when people are worried that the next hundred years, the tower will be crooked, but the tower is inexplicably caught fire and burned down.

It's a pity that the three volumes of his architectural work "The Book of Wood" have been lost. However, the most important architectural work of the Song Dynasty, "Constructing the French Style", was deeply influenced by it.

Such a craftsman is an academician of the National Academy of Engineering in this era, and if he can't solve the problem of the span of the theater, then there is really no way at all.
