Chapter 031: Big Project 1
"That's right! Brother Gu, last time I saw you have a book, you might as well give it to me.
When the time comes, I will show a few dignitaries in the capital! In the future, Brother Gu's chances of winning will definitely be higher! "The Way of Martial Arts.
"Thank you, Brother Wu!" When Gu Zhiwen heard this, he was pleasantly surprised! This means that the hope of getting out of school has greatly increased.
At that time, the examination system was not very strict, and there was no strict supervision system! Far inferior to the Song, Ming and Qing dynasties.
In the Tang Dynasty, the chief examiner was extremely powerful, and basically he could admit people at will, even if he admitted people who should not be admitted, he was just demoted.
Because the people who judge the papers are all personally selected by the chief examiner, Wailang.
But in the Ming and Qing dynasties, this must be killed.
The two chatted about some gossip again, Wu Yanzhi was wearing an official uniform, and it was not easy to go into the wine shop to drink at will.
So I asked the servant Zhang Tai to go to a nearby wine store to buy some wine and food, and sent them to this store, the two of them have not seen each other for more than a month, but they are like a few years apart, very excited!
……
In the evening, Wu Yanzhi returned to the Taoist temple and began to refine his big project plan in his mind.
He had already planned to build a bridge and two roads! As for the name of this project, my eyes suddenly lit up: it was simply called the "One Bridge and Two Roads" project.
A bridge: It is to erect a large stone arch bridge on the valley water on the west side of Shangyang Palace to connect Shangyang Palace with the Shendu Garden on the west side.
Second Road: It is to harden the two roads of East Street (Xuanren Gate---- Shangdong Gate) in the north of Luoyang and South Street (Xinzhongqiao ---- Changxiamen) in the south.
In the Tang Dynasty, whether it was Chang'an or Luoyang, the streets were not hardened, and when it rained, it was muddy and the road was very difficult.
Of course, the reason for not hardening is actually mainly a matter of money.
Because the streets of ancient times were very wide! The main avenues are more than 100 meters away! For example, the East Street in the north of Luoyang is about 120 meters wide.
If these two roads are hardened in advance, it will definitely be an unexpected project!
This bridge must only continue to build a stone arch bridge.
But this road, if you use stone slabs, although permanent, but the driving is still very bumpy! No, just build a cement plant and lay concrete on the bridge deck!
When he thought of the cement factory, Wu Yanzhi was very excited! This is one of the hallmarks of industrialization! This thing will be very useful in the future.
By the way, you have to give the road a louder name! After thinking about it for a long time, why don't you call: Qitian Road, Great Sage Road?
This name is in line with the habit at this time, and more importantly, Wu Zetian must like the name "Monkey King".
……
The second day was a day off, and it wasn't him on duty. Wu Yanzhi ate the breakfast bought by the servant Zhang Tai. He was dressed in civilian clothes, but he had to go to the two roads planned last night and the vicinity of Shangyang Palace to have another look.
Shangyang Palace is on the Luoshui side of the southwest side of the Luoyang Palace, he has been there many times, and found that the terrain is not high, surrounded by Luoshui, Gushui and their tributaries.
The valley water flows into Luoshui. If there is a heavy rain upstream, if this Luoshui cannot be discharged in time, Shangyang Palace is very likely to be flooded.
To the east of Shangyang Palace, there is a bridge and a small bridge connecting the imperial city in the east! However, the bridge is very low, and there is a possibility that it will be flooded.
There is a small bridge to the west that connects to Shendu Yuan, but the terrain of the bridge is still very low! In addition, there is no bridge connecting the entire Shangyang Palace to the land outside.
The problem arises, if all the bridges are flooded and the Shangyang Palace is flooded, the tens of thousands of people in the palace will be very dangerous
Judging from the perspective of his previous life as an engineer, if the safety evaluation is carried out, the possibility of the Shangyang Palace being flooded is actually not small, and the score will not be very high.
Therefore, his goal is to build another stone arch bridge over the valley water to connect the western land Shendu Garden.
The bridge has to be raised several meters to ensure that Shangyang Palace has a final retreat.
Just about to go out, I suddenly saw Jiuxiao Daoist and Wang Dong coming!
"Oh? Is Takero ready to go out? The Taoist chief asked.
"Yes! I'm going to take a walk around Shangyang Palace today! ”
"Good! The two of us are fine, just go for a spin with Wu Lang! The Nine Heavens Dao Elder smiled.
"That's for the best!"
"That's right! Wu Lang, your 200 Ayara horses have been sent over yesterday afternoon, and I will let them accept them first! And the zinc I have already refined into a hammer, a total of more than 165 pounds! ”
"Then thank you Dao Elder for keeping it, I'll pick it up another day!"
A few people were talking, and suddenly someone came in to report that Jian'an Wang Wu Youyi had sent someone to deliver a letter.
Wu Yan took the letter and looked at it, and was overjoyed, but it was Wu Youyi who said that Zou Fengchi had made an appointment with Wu Yanzhi and had a gathering at the Dong Family Restaurant at Xingjin Qiaotou at noon.
……
It was still early, Wu Yanzhi and the two of them rode horses and ran along the road of Nadong Street! Then I went to South Main Street for a turn.
Then go west along the south bank of Luoshui, and soon see the Shangyang Palace on the opposite bank.
Pointing to the three low bridges in the valley water and its tributaries on the opposite side, Wu Yanzhi told the two of them his plan! When the two of them heard this, they nodded again and again.
Daoist Jiuxiao said, "This plan is excellent! Luoyang will have a major flood in a few decades, but it has not been a flood for nearly 40 years! So I had to guard against it.
On the other side, there is the highest bridge, which is now only six meters above the water. If, as Wu Lang said, the bridge is sealed by the big water, this Shangyang Palace is really dangerous!
The city wall is also made of rammed earth, which cannot withstand the long-term immersion in water! The waters will surely enter the city! It's a little better during the day, but if it's night, I'm afraid few people will be able to run out! ”
Wang Dong also said: "The villain has also heard from the elders that this Luoyang was once flooded by more than 30,000 households and more than 20,000 people died.
Therefore, this new bridge should be increased by another five meters, and the people of Shangyang Palace can run to the Shendu Garden in the west in time, and it will be safer!"
Wu Yanzhi and the others returned to the north bank, carefully looked at the heights of several bridges, and roughly determined the location of the arch bridge.
Seeing that the sun was shining, the three of them came to the Dong family's wine shop.
……
As mentioned earlier, "Tianjin Bridge" is one of the seven magnificent buildings on the central axis of Luoyang in the Tang (Zhou) Dynasty!
The bridge is divided into three bridges from north to south: Huangdao Bridge, Tianjin Bridge, and Xingjin Bridge! The Hoshitsu Bridge is of course the southernmost section! There are a number of wine shops in Qiaotou, and passers-by from the south to the north like to stop and drink a few glasses in this place and enjoy the beautiful scenery of Luoyang City.
The largest and most famous wine shop here is, of course, the Dong Family Restaurant.
After saying the name of the person who made the reservation, the waiter warmly invited the three of them into the private room! This is a tea room, not a place to eat.
When he entered the door, Wu Yanzhi saw Li Bochang chatting with a white-haired old man.
Depend on! This old man Li is really well-connected, and you can see him anywhere.
Seeing Wu Yanzhi and others coming, Li Bochang hurriedly got up with Zou Fengchi to greet him.
Wu Yan looked at it, this Zou Fengchi was about seventy years old, with silver hair on his temples, but he was in excellent spirits! Even if he is hunchbacked, his height is about 1.82 meters, which is much taller than Wu Yan's 1.75 meters.
"Brother Zou, this is Brother Wu Langwu! He is a rising star of Da Zhou, and his future is limitless!" Li Bochang introduced.
"Grass people Zou Fengchi see Wujun Gong!" Zou Feng Chifeng humbly saluted.
"Zou Dashang doesn't have to be polite!" The Way of Martial Arts.
Then, Li Bochang introduced the two people who came with Wu Yanzhi.
After taking a seat, I talked about buying a house.
"Zou Dashang, I went to see the house, it's not bad! I'm ready to buy it! I don't know when to sign the contract?"
"Wujun Gong! That house has less than thirty rooms and no garden, which is extremely inconsistent with the identity of Wu Jungong! How about buying another house! Zou Fengchi shook his head and said.
"The contemptible person is just entering the office, and there are not many family members, there is enough to live here, don't hide Zou Dashang, I still think he has too many rooms!" Wu Yanzhi said with a smile.
"Well, since Wu Jungong can afford it, he will make a deal for five hundred yuan, and as for the contract, let Wu Lang arrange it!" Zou Fengchi said.
Five hundred? That's too cheap, right?
"Then tomorrow afternoon! Tomorrow, I will wait for Zou Dashang in Nanshi! "The Way of Martial Arts. Tomorrow should be the first time he went to the early dynasty, he wanted to see what the rules of the ancient early dynasty were.
