Chapter 142: Famous Craftsman
After getting rid of the teacher of the private school, Yang Chong and Jiang Fei walked towards the other courtyard with high spirits, and Wei Chigong and the others had already driven the carriage first, and only Li Chun was with him. Li Chun introduced the situation in the village, due to the improvement of the fields and pig raising, now the living conditions of the villagers have improved a lot in the past, and each family can eat meat several times a month, Yang Chong said with great satisfaction: "Lao Li, this is all your credit, you have to persuade them to divide the wasteland in the mountains to grow tea trees, and I will arrange people to collect them next year." ”
"Thank you, master." Li Chun said hesitantly: "The villagers entrusted me with one thing, that is, I wanted to join the Yang family, I asked the whole village, and most of them were willing. ”
The villagers didn't have much knowledge, Yang Chong was the biggest official they had ever seen, and he was also the best talker, so they had the heart to take refuge. Yang Chong's face was suddenly a little gloomy, Yang Chong came from modern society, and he didn't approve of slavery from the bottom of his heart; However, Yang Chong understood Li Chun's difficulties, his own family had no land, just like duckweed without roots, and he had to worry about the exploitation of the government at any time, if he became a slave, even if his life did not change, at least there would be no taxes and forced labor from the government. Li Chun didn't know what he said wrong, and he was at a loss for a while.
Jiang Fei asked at the right time: "Yang Chong, do you feel inappropriate?" ”
Yang Chong came over and said, "It's nothing, I just feel a little sad." In this way, Li Chun, I agree to your request, but it must be voluntary among the villagers, and it must be signed according to the contract I have drafted. ”
Li Chun breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly agreed: "That's for sure, it won't embarrass the head of the family." ”
Yang Chong looked at Li Chun and asked, "If you have any other ideas, let's talk about them together." ”
Li Chun said cautiously: "I am from Zhaozhou, and I have a bit of stonemason's craftsmanship, the head of the family, see if you can change the village head, let me work in the workshop and earn a few more money." Several children in the family are older, and there will be more places to use money in the future. ”
Zhao Zhou, Li Chun, Yang Chong looked at Li Chun in disbelief, and asked tentatively, "Is there a river in your hometown?" ”
"The head of the family is really learned." Li Chun patted his ass and said, "My hometown is on the edge of the river. ”
Yang Chongxin said that it wouldn't be so coincidental, right, he picked up a treasure by himself? The famous Zhaozhou Bridge was on the Huanhe River, and the craftsman who built it was also named Li Chun, and Yang Chong pretended not to care and asked, "Have you ever built a bridge?" Or design a bridge? ”
Li Chun suddenly looked like he had seen a ghost, hesitated for a moment and said, "Back to the head of the family, I have built several stone bridges, and even built an old bridge on the Wei River, but unfortunately it was broken by the flood. But now that I've designed a bridge, I'd like to ask the head of the house to help me look at it and give advice. ”
What Li Chun said was not polite, when Yang Chong built the courtyard, Li Chun went to help, and admired the drawings designed by Yang Chong; Jiang Fei has always had a good impression of Li Chun, and said helpfully: "Yang Chong, the stone lion in front of the gate of the other courtyard is carved by Li Chun, and it is vivid, even Tianqi and Yu Jianzi say that it is good." ”
Yang Chong remembered, no wonder the pair of stone lions looked familiar, it turned out to be similar to the stone lions on the Zhaozhou Bridge, Yang Chong immediately said: "Li Chun, tomorrow I will let Miao Yun come to sign a contract with you." The village chief is still up to you, and I will build a separate stonemason workshop in Shicun, with you as the shopkeeper. ”
Li Chun was overjoyed, knelt down and kowtowed on the spot and said, "Meet the head of the family." ”
Yang Chong helped Li Chun up and said, "Go to your house and see the bridge you designed." ”
Li Chun happily returned home and took out a model made of wood, which was also a technique that Li Chun learned when he was helping in the courtyard, the wooden model was simple and visual; Yang Chong recognized it at a glance as Zhaozhou Bridge, looked at it carefully and said, "Yes, I'll see it." The small arches on the shoulders of the large arch are creatively designed, which not only saves stone and reduces the weight of the bridge, but also increases the amount of water passing through the bridge when the river surges, and reduces the impact of floods on the bridge. At the same time, the arch is added to the arch, which looks more beautiful. ”
Li Chun met the connoisseur, he was happy for a while, forgot Yang Chong's identity, patted Yang Chong's shoulder and said: "What I am most worried about is the big arch, I imagine that it is made up of twenty-eight arch rings, and makes an arc-shaped bridge hole, each arch ring can independently support the weight above, one is broken, and the other roads will not be affected, but I am worried that this will not affect the overall support." ”
"No, it's the same for both." Yang Chong affirmed that the Zhaozhou Bridge stood for 1,400 years in later generations, proving the scientific nature of this design. The two discussed the bridge body and arc again, Yang Chong and Jiang Fei left home in Li Chun's reluctance and walked to no one's place, Jiang Fei suddenly asked: "Yang Chong, do you have a list that contains the names of many masters from all walks of life?" ”
Yang Chong was stunned for a moment, and didn't know how to explain to Jiang Fei, so he had to say: "I just have a good memory, and I remember the name after listening to others." ”
Jiang Fei sneered, "I'm lying again." ”
Jiang Fei's skin is like snow and jade, her figure is slender, her waist is slender, her nose bridge is high when she laughs, her ruddy lips have a soft and moving expression, and her demeanor is elegant without losing the nobility in her bones, which makes Yang Chong stunned for a while. Jiang Fei was embarrassed, and pulled Yang Chong and said, "Idiot, hurry up, Wei Chigong took Luo Shixin up, and now I'm afraid it's already a fight." ”
Yang Chongren was pulled away by Jiang Fei in a hurry, and protested in his mouth: "The head of this family is extremely smart, you dare to call me a fool." ”
When the people in the courtyard saw it from a high place, they immediately ran away without a trace, Jiang Fei is the future housemother and the number one master in Yang Chong's mansion, not to mention dragging Yang Chong to run, even if he beat Yang Chong, as long as no one lives, no one will care. The two stood still at the gate of the courtyard, Jiang Fei's hair fluttering, and her demeanor was calm; Yang Chong was panting slightly, and was surprised where the guards and gatekeepers had gone, when he heard bursts of cheers coming from the martial arts training ground.
The two walked over to take a look, only to see that the martial arts training field was surrounded by people, Jiang Duo was fighting with Wei Chigong in the field, Jiang Duo was holding a machete in his hand, flying up and down, the knife light was like a chain, tightly wrapped around Yu Chigong, not leaving left and right; Wei Chigong's double whip in his hand blocked the left and right, guarding the airtight, no matter how majestic the opponent's knife was, it was like a rock in the waves, always slapping the monstrous waves out of his body, and he didn't retreat a single step for more than a dozen rounds.
The two fought for more than 20 moves, but they still didn't know whether they won or lost, Jiang grabbed the long knife and slashed back, took advantage of the situation to retract the knife momentum, and said with a smile: "Wei Chi's guards are really smart, Jiang has learned." ”
Wei Chigong smiled and said: "It's a little luck, and I will have the opportunity to learn in the future." ”
Luo Shixin squeezed to Jiang Fei's side and shouted, "Sister Jiang, when can I go into the city to see Master?" ”
