Chapter 59: Amazing Architecture
In the blink of an eye, the ice and snow melted from winter to spring, and the early spring of Chang'an was not as cold as imagined, as if the northwest wind swept away like a low tide overnight, and the warm and humid southeast wind blew into the land of Guanzhong along the wide plain, the birds flew high and shouted happily, and the hard-working farmers began to prepare for farming early.
Before the beginning of spring, the villagers of Nanzhuang ushered in dozens of Hedong households, they are tenants recruited from the Hou State of Pingyang Hou Mansion, a few little girls comb two small buns A mouthful of Hedong dialect is particularly interesting, not long after the beginning of the year, the Hou Mansion was busy with affairs, Gan's father took the initiative to resign from the position of Li Zheng, and took the initiative to let the virtuous to the original Zheng Tong.
Zheng Tong is busy with the expansion of Zhuangzi these days, originally Nanzhuang is just a little-known small village, which is less than half a year out of more than 100 people to make the inner wall a little stretched, and now there are dozens of new residents in Hedong, the original Zhuangzi and protective facilities are no longer enough to arrange, Zheng Tong is busy demolishing the earth wall to build houses, try to prepare a qiē before spring ploughing.
Zheng Tong was busy for a while and looked at the time, frowned and said, "Where did this kid Gan Yanlu go?" It's time to come back after leaving the horse in this moment. ”
"It's not going to go to the courtyard to meet the girl privately, right?"
Zheng Tong stared at the round eyes and scolded: "Xu Leprosy, don't chew the root of your tongue in front of Lao Tzu, be careful that I punish you to ram the earth wall." ”
Xu Ji was frightened and begged for mercy, and the old and young masters in the village laughed and scolded Xu for having no soft eggs, and he didn't care about it, but proudly showed off his glorious experience of being incorporated into the baggage soldiers of the Northern Army for more than a year because he was unqualified in military service.
Although he didn't say it, Zheng Tong has been muttering in his heart that this Hun kid is unreliable, Gan Yanlu has been drilling into the yard of Zheng Tong's house whenever he has free these days, and he was hit by Zheng Tong several times and was not ashamed but called his uncle (father-in-law), almost making Zheng Tong's nose crooked.
The daughter's marriage contract is the matchmaker for Gan's father to find Gongxibao, and the acquiescence of the Hou Mansion is also behind it, and the Zheng family is not dissatisfied with such a big face, and it is settled in a few months, Gan Yanlu ran to the Zheng family endlessly, and his father Gan's father also looked indifferent, the customs of the Huns are very open to men and women, and the engagement contract is no different from that of husband and wife, which makes the Zheng family have a headache.
At this moment, a dozen horsemen rushed in from the village, and immediately rode without a saddle and without a horse chew, and rode on a bare warhorse with a mane, and a dozen young knights were very skilled, turned over and jumped down and let the horses run into the stable at the corner of the village, and the people who jumped down jumped into the big pit and followed the villagers to dig the foundation of the house.
The leader who dismounted was Gan Yanlu, and he was not angry when he was scolded, but said with a hippie smile: "I went to the Hou Mansion just now, and the prince asked me to inform Lizheng that the canal in our village will not be dug for the time being." ”
"What did the Hun baby say just now? You said that the canal in our village will not be dug anymore? How can this work? I'll have to go to the Hou Mansion and ask. The old man Wang, who was picking up the soil, was suddenly anxious, and he was about to leave with more than a dozen men who were working.
The canal is the biggest thing in a village, there is no water crops can not be watered, carrying a pick to go to other people's canal to pick up water will be thrown off, if there is a drought everyone is short of water to fight, the old people are worried all day long to dig a big canal that leads directly to the Wei River, in the future there will be no need to pick up the water to water the ground.
Gan Yanlu shouted: "I still have something to say!" ”
The men were stopped and said angrily: "I said that you baby can not gasp for breath when you speak?" If you have something to say, hurry up. ”
"The prince also said that he would not dig a canal, but would build a waterwheel and a water drain, and the bamboo that everyone prepared before the year would be used."
Zheng Tongcai remembered the behemoth he saw by the Wei River a few days ago, slowly turning in the turbulent river and driving a mill to grind rice, wheat, beans and other grains non-stop.
From the coldest part of the winter in November, Cao Shi led the household officials in the house to shuttle through the fields, 23oo hectares of Shangtian adjacent to the Wei River is not a small number, originally unrelated several pieces of land into one, first to re-plan the road, the location of the village is not suitable to transform or relocate, the lack of households and labor force to supplement from the east of the river, a busy chores have been busy has come to the spring ploughing season.
"Junhou, most of the 100 million money you gave for relocation has been spent, and the newly built village consumes a lot of cement and needs to be replenished urgently."
"The 100 million yuan construction fund is about to bottom out, and more than half of the plan prepared this year has not been completed, and we also need a lot of cement and green bricks."
"The 2ooo million yuan research fund applied for by Lu Buxi was spent, and he applied for 1ooo million yuan from Junhou again for ironmaking research, and he also asked us to take a lot of cement to strengthen the iron-making furnace."
"The 31oo gold given by the prince has collected more than 300 million pods in the Chang'an market, and the Hou Mansion has specially opened a few warehouses to store these inferior money, and we also want to build a few more warehouses with cement."
The situation of the meeting in the past few days is almost the same, a group of people around him stretched out their hands to ask for cement, Cao Shi was so annoyed that he couldn't say: "The cement is for you to try the effect, and the rest are all pulled to Shaofu to do real thing." ”
The officials were disappointed that when the cement was pulled out of the kiln, many people laughed at the uselessness of the tan powder, and as a result, the cement and brick houses were even stronger than the rammed earth walls that had been made over the years.
The Dou family is also very interesting, with 300 million money to Pingyang Hou Mansion without saying a word to unload the copper coins, it is clear that it is to take the papermaking recipe for each Dou family, 300 million money according to the agreement to take all the money to pay, the internal history of the mansion also sent a special messenger to supervise the inventory of copper coins, Cao Shi saw this good thing fall on the head of course very happy, so the Hou Mansion's infrastructure construction funds increased by 300 million yuan, and the degree of expansion of creation suddenly increased several grades.
Cao Shi returned to the room and didn't see Princess Yangxin, a few days ago she complained to Cao Shi that the house was boring and boring, so she built yì wife to promote her own women's cosmetics in Chang'an City, Princess Yangxin really took kaolin powder and talcum powder to the palace, and in the past few days, she has been busy in the dark and has no time to say a few words.
As soon as he sat down, he didn't have long to rest, and the palace attendants came to summon him, and the prince wanted to see him.
Rushed to the Tai** non-stop, was guided to the garden behind the palace, a group of young people around the ball to play Keju, the Han family since the founding of the country has the custom of playing Keju, Emperor Gao's father Liu Taigong to fight cocks, Keju for joy, this sport originated from the Warring States Period is not only a recreational sport practiced in the army, but also a habitual activity in the house of the court nobles.
"Good! Another one went in. ”
Liu Che jumped up and applauded and cheered for the red-clothed team, the red-clothed team was facing Han Yan, the white-clothed team on the other side was dejected, and Gongsun He walked back to the center line with the ball in chagrin.
The rules of the pre-Qin Keju are based on the fact that the ball does not land, and is more inclined to the skills of individual juggling and passing, so the range of action is small and the rhythm is slow, so the gameplay is relatively strong, and Cao Shi also applauded when he saw the freshness.
Han Yan completed another shot and shouted proudly: "Doctor Taizhong, let's kick and bow together!" ”
"I can't, this trick can't work."
The game ended quickly, the red team won the first place under Han Yan's excellent performance, Liu Che ordered Guo Sheren to show the winner, and each member of the red team was given a piece of gold cake, and everyone bowed down to thank him with a happy smile.
When the prince was young, he also liked to kick the juju, but as he grew older, he was bound by the etiquette system, so he could only take advantage of the fact that the palace officials did not pay attention to kicking a few kicks, and he usually liked to let his subordinates be divided into two teams to play games for fun.
Liu Che pointed to the lonely house in the corner of the palace and said: "The hut you built in the palace has been completely dried up, and you have to get it if you smash the wall today." ”
"Is Your Highness's bet still counted?"
"Make a count, isn't it just to send that Lang official Zhang Qian to explore the Western Regions, this is a trivial matter, if you lose the bet, you have to sincerely apologize to Han Yan." Liu Che looked at Han Yan full of affection.
Cao Shi glanced at Han Yan and said, "There is no point in ministering, please start." ”
"This matter is left to the minister, the minister is used to using heavy weapons, and it is not difficult to exert his strength." Gongsun He and Han Yan exchanged glances, picked up the hammer and slammed it on the inconspicuous hut.
Bang bang!
smashed more than a dozen hammers in a row, and the lime sticking to the wall fell, revealing the Fang Daqing bricks that were smashed by the hammer, Gongsun He's face was a little ugly when he held the hammer, and the strength of these dozen hammers to eat milk still did not see the wall and the house collapsed, and there was a big gap from the original idea.
The guards of the Southern Army who were guarding the side kept sweeping the hut with their eyes, at first glance the inconspicuous house was so amazing, the strength of the prince in front of him was really not small, thirty pounds of sledgehammer danced, each hammer can open the head of the fully armed soldiers, the rammed earth house where ordinary people live is hammered down more than a dozen times, the wall must fall down, and the house will collapse, even if the rammed earth city wall in the palace is hammered for a dozen times, there will be a lot of damage.
Liu Che's eyes lit up when he stared at the hut: "If you continue to smash you, you must not stop until the house collapses." ”
Gongsun He helplessly picked up the sledgehammer and continued, ping pong smashed dozens of times before smashing the house out of a big hole, and it took dozens of slammed hits to make the big hole collapse bigger and bigger, until the whole wall collapsed and the roof also fell a big piece, at this time everyone was speechless in surprise.
Gongsun He, the prince of the prince's house, was already tired and couldn't straighten his waist, dropped the sledgehammer and said breathlessly: "Why is this broken house so difficult to smash, the rammed earth city wall in the ordinary border has never been so strong, if it is two or three times thicker and replaced with a battering ram, it may not be beneficial." ”
Liu Che picked up the iron sledgehammer and knocked it on the other intact wall a few times, and the two hands of Zhen were broken and the hammer was thrown out, and the Langwei soldiers who cleaned up the wreckage of the building turned out the bricks and stones in the ruins and were suddenly dumbfounded.
"Not only that, I've never seen such a sturdy house, let alone a house of this shape." Liu Che suddenly grabbed Cao Shi's arm and asked sternly: "If I change this thing on the Great Wall on the border, can the Huns still cross the border and kill and kill the Han land, burn, kill, and plunder?" ”

ps: I think it's a book friend of black technology, please Du Niang "Roman mortar", in fact, the ancestors of ancient times disliked the houses made of boulders were too labor-intensive, and our ancestors could also make magnificent stone buildings, and the civil and wooden Zuò Changle Weiyang can rely on mortise and tenon joints without a nail, if this wisdom is used in stone buildings, the architecture of ancient Egypt is not very difficult to do.
