Chapter 170: The Principle of Leverage
The moon passed quickly, and Zhang Ye's idea had basically been realized by one-fifth, and the entire foundation had been laid, and the whole city now looked much bigger than when it was planned before.
The area is big enough, but now Zhang Ye and they are really having problems, the height of people is limited, Zhang Ye is about the same, and he can send it with his own strength, but ordinary people really can't continue to fiddle.
In a tent that is exposed on all sides, this is the city construction headquarters built by Zhang Ye.
"Emperor, why don't we make ladders, so that everyone can step on the ladder and get the stones up." Shrinking head suggested.
Zhang Ye shook his head: "This city wall has to be built ten meters high, the further back it is, the more difficult it becomes, now we can use a ladder to solve it, but there will be no way to use a ladder in the future." ”
Everyone also pondered, what Zhang Ye said made sense, it doesn't matter if the distance is not high, but the higher it gets, the more it will be, and it will not work at all to use a ladder when the time comes.
"Emperor, otherwise we will first get out the steps of the four gates in the city, and then everyone can carry them along the steps inside." Qiao Lao said on the side.
Some people in the group nodded, some shook their heads, and in any case, they said everything.
Only Cai Yong nodded and said, "Hey! For today's plan, there is only this stupid method, but unfortunately the old man doesn't know how to build a city and can't help everyone. ”
After thinking about it, it seemed that this was the only way to work, and the matter of ladders was really unusable, first, there was no such high ladder at all, and second, such a high ladder might not be able to bear the weight of such a large stone.
Making such a large and tall ladder alone is very laborious and time-consuming.
Zhang Ye lowered his head and kept writing and drawing on the ground, all of which were some unintelligible characters and words, in short, Qiao Lao and Cai Yong couldn't understand it, they didn't know what it was.
"Emperor? Everyone is waiting for you to come up with ideas! Shrinking his head and seeing that Zhang Ye didn't speak, he knew that his thoughts had gone astray again, and Zhang Ye had also had this situation before.
"Hmmm! That's it! Zhang Ye said to himself.
"Huh?" Many people looked at Zhang Ye and didn't understand what Zhang Ye was thinking, what did he do?
Everyone was blinded by Zhang Ye's words, should they do what Qiao Lao said or what should they do?
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Zhang Ye knew that he was in a daze again, and hurriedly called everyone over and explained: "Here, let's use a big log, let's have a small circle here, and I call this thing a lever."
Zhang Ye is talking alone in the whole big tent now, and the others don't know what Zhang Ye said at all, and they have explained it several times, but even the smartest Qiao Lao and Cai Yong can't understand it, Zhang Ye has no choice but to pull everyone out.
"Arthas, go get some tall trees." Zhang Ye commanded.
It didn't take long for the grim Arthas to appear in front of everyone, carrying several pieces of wood several people high.
In front of everyone, Zhang Ye cut off all the branches of these big trees, leaving only the main trunk, and then found another big tree and cut it in half.
Then Zhang Ye compared the whole wood with half of it, and then cut off a lot of half of it, and put the whole one into the half of it, just wrapping it.
Then Zhang Ye fixed this thing outside the city wall, and ordered someone to find a few old vines, which were directly tied to the front end of the whole wood, and after doing this, Zhang Ye ordered someone to carry over a large stone and tie it directly to the tree vine.
Zhang Ye gently pressed the end of the tree trunk with one hand, and the stone was actually lifted.
Zhang Ye moved the direction a few times at will, and directly adjusted the stone to the main city wall.
From beginning to end, everyone looked at Zhang Ye like a monster, putting a stone on the main city wall was not a difficult thing at all, but if you want to be as easy as Zhang Ye, few people can do it.
"My lord, what is this?" Qiao Lao looked at Zhang Ye and said.
Zhang Ye said: "This will be the principle of leverage that I just told you." ”
Everyone was relieved, it turned out that Zhang Ye had been talking for a long time, but they didn't understand it at all, and now Zhang Ye directly operated it, and everyone understood what was going on.
"It turns out that this is the principle of leverage, what Ono said is really unheard of, if you didn't say it, the old man wouldn't have known that there was such a strange thing."
Cai Yong also nodded and praised Zhang Ye.
"This thing is very simple, and the operation is not too complicated, the most important thing is that this thing is not difficult to make, now everyone starts to make this thing, and then let's speed up, because we can't delay too much time to build the city."
In the next few days, everyone began to work on the lever that Zhang Ye said, and with the addition of this thing, the speed of building the city was indeed much faster.
Now they only need one person to operate the lever, while others stand on the wall, position the stones that have been transported, apply rammed earth, and finally continue to reconnect to the top.
This method not only saves a lot of manpower, but also is much faster. Zhang Ye also eats and lives with everyone these days, and also works hard together.
After meeting with Yongzhong that time, Zhang Ye knew that he was afraid that the war was coming again, and since he couldn't avoid it, he had to face it, and there was just no excuse to send troops to Yizhou, which could be used as an excuse.
Hmph, I thought that I Zhang Ye was a bully, this time Zhang Ye decided to teach everyone a lesson, and this lesson started from the completion of the city, and then Zhang Ye lived in this built city, to see what those people would say.
Someone once said that time is like a white horse passing through a gap, and it is like water in your hand, when you want to catch it, it has almost leaked.
Three months have passed quickly, during this time, Chengdu is still very lively, Zhao Wei and Jia Long are still very lively, Jia Long has been dragging on, but recently Liu Yan's attitude is getting worse and worse, and even these days only Zhao Wei has been recruited to the state pastor's mansion.
These signals have already been expressed, Liu Yan doesn't trust him Jia Long very much, Jia Long knows in his heart, after this time, I'm afraid Liu Yan won't trust him too much.
Sure enough, it was similar to Jia Long's conjecture, the war against the Nanban was still coming, Liu Yan did not ask Jia Long's opinion this time, and directly made an appointment.
The Pingnan general Jia Ying was the main one, and the general Zhao Hu was the deputy, leading an army of 50,000 straight to the barbarians.
The army has not moved, the grain and grass go first, this time the grain and grass Liu Yan naturally has to come out of the treasury of the state pastor's mansion, and those big clans in Yinan also need to give a little, after all, Liu Yan sent a large army, they always have to respond.
One man and one horse left Chengdu City before the city gate was closed, and rushed all the way south.
ps: I'm out of town, the writer's assistant doesn't know why I smoked it, I can't send it, I just came back, and now I'm making up for it. (To be continued.) )
