Chapter 202: Division of Labor
The four of us hurried all the way west, and the process was quite smooth.
When I came out and walked around, I found that although it had only been a few years since Qin Shi Huang unified the six countries, he had already done a lot of things with great fanfare.
For example, the road we are walking on now is called "Chi Road", which was built at the initiative of the First Emperor, and it is said that it radiates from Xianyang to the whole country, completely breaking the division of the Six Kingdoms period, and forming a very developed road network. The one leading to the east of the river, called the "Linjin Road", runs through the original Wei territory and is one of the more famous.
In addition, horse-drawn carriages, which were originally the main means of transportation in the six countries, were all of different sizes and shapes, and they were inconvenient to manufacture and use, but now they are all unified according to the width of the road.
A standard horse-drawn carriage walks on a standard road, and natural transportation is much more convenient.
The reason why this Hedong is called Hedong is because it is located in the east of the Yellow River, across the river from Xianyang. Although the distance in a straight line is not far, because it is separated by the Yellow River, it will take at least two days no matter how fast you go.
Therefore, our accommodation for the first night was arranged by the crossing of the Yellow River, and we planned to cross the river early the next morning, and then change horses and walk for half a day to arrive.
Although they were four people on the same road, they were not lively at all, except for Qin Qi occasionally chatting with me for a few words, Sang Qing and Yue Bi, the two young people, always looked old, with solemn faces and did not say a word.
At dinner, seeing that the atmosphere was still like this, I simply asked Yue Bi directly: "To what extent has the Lishan Mausoleum been cultivated now?" ”
He was stunned when he heard my question, because I had always been impatient when I tried to talk to him, and now I had to surprise him when I suddenly asked about something.
Since it's a serious matter, it's inconvenient for him to ignore me anymore, and I specifically picked this issue, also considering that there is a specialization in the art industry, and I go specifically to what he is good at. Sure enough, I saw that he took out a picture from the small bag he was carrying, but it was drawn on a sheepskin.
I looked over and found that it was not a map, but a cross-sectional drawing of something, and there were dense words next to it, most of which were numbers, and it was probably a design drawing or something.
He looked left and right first, and saw that there were only a few guests in the lobby, and they were all some distance away from us, so he spread the picture on the table and whispered to us: "This is the sketch of the Lishan Mausoleum that I asked someone to find, I have already memorized it in my mind, because it is a top-secret thing, it will be destroyed before I get to Lishan, and now while there is still time, I will briefly tell you about it." ”
Think about it, this emperor's mausoleum structure diagram, naturally it is impossible for everyone to know, if the secrecy work is not done well, won't it be disturbed by the tomb thieves all day long in the future, and it will not be possible to live in peace?
"You see, this is the situation in this place now......" It wasn't until Yue Bi really started to say that I realized that he was really wrong about me.
When I asked the question just now, I just wanted to know the general situation of a project, and I definitely didn't want to know the specific details of the tomb. Interlaced like a mountain, he is like a number of treasured things, to me it sounds like a book from heaven, and it is impossible to "remember in my head" like him!
But seeing that he was rarely interested in talking so much, I had no choice but to listen with a hard head. Sang Qing may have considered that it was related to our mission this time, so he also listened carefully. Qin Qi was not as modest as me, and he probably didn't understand it very well, so he simply leaned back on the back of the chair, still drinking wine, and looked at Yue Bi with a smile, but it didn't seem like he was listening carefully.
After more than half an hour had passed, this obscure explanation came to an end, and although I did not understand most of it, I had already heard that the tomb building project was now only halfway through, but it had entered a more critical stage, that is, to complete the layout of the entire tomb before the whole soil was sealed.
When it comes to the final process before sealing the tomb, the setting of the mechanism must be the most important. No matter how well-built the mausoleum is, if it can't be guaranteed in terms of safety, everything in front of it will definitely be empty.
"They came to you to probably study this part of the institution, right?" I asked.
Yue Bi nodded first, then raised his eyes, looked at me and said, "Not necessarily, maybe it will be handed over to you!" ”
"Me, I'll forget it, haha!" I said as I touched the back of my head.
Seeing that he looked at me with a disdainful eye, he quickly coughed twice and diverted the topic: "What about Sang Qing?" Could it be that this unrepaired tomb is still haunted? ”
Sang Qing asked me rhetorically, "Do you remember how many years this imperial tomb has been repaired?" ”
I thought about it for a moment, and felt that the impression was very vague, so I simply shook my head.
"It's been more than 30 years." She lowered her eyebrows and said, "The imperial court has mobilized hundreds of thousands of people to build this mausoleum, and countless people have died of illness, exhaustion, accidents, and execution, do you think it will be haunted?" ”
When she said this, her expression was relatively calm, but to me, it sounded a little frightened!
The decision to build a great mausoleum is just a sentence from the emperor, but there are too many people who pay a heavy price for it when it comes to implementing it!
From this, I immediately thought that the construction site of hundreds of thousands of people, this ominous place where tens of millions of bones are buried, in addition to the need for heavenly masters, must also need medical experts, considering Mo Yan's previous reputation, the reason why he called me there is also a way to deal with this matter?
Before I had time to think about it, I turned my head and asked Qin Qidao, who was in a drunken mood, "What about you?" ”
He was throwing a glass of wine down and said with a little drunkenness, "What do you think?" ”
"Uh......" I was momentarily stuck, but my mind suddenly appeared about the pottery he made that day, and I couldn't help but have an idea, and half-jokingly said, "Do they want you to help them make terracotta warriors?" ”
"Terracotta?" When the three people in front of them heard this word, they all looked a little surprised.
I myself was stunned for a moment, could it be that the terracotta warriors and horses in this era are not called this name? Or has this masterpiece, known as one of the "Eight Wonders of the World" in the future world, yet to be created?
"What terracotta?" Yue Bi asked.
"It's a pottery chariot and a soldier...... "I said weakly, and the more I spoke, the quieter my voice became.
Judging from the expressions of these three people, they really don't know about this thing.
Only then did I remember that the structural diagram that Yue Bi just talked about was basically about the situation in the main theater. Although I don't know much about architecture, I still know that the terracotta warriors and horses were found in the burial pit of the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang.
Yue Bi can even get the data map of the main tomb, if the terracotta warriors and horses have already been built, it is impossible not to know. This only shows that it is really too early to talk about this topic!
Now it's troublesome, and I accidentally tell something that may not exist yet, how can I justify myself? (To be continued.) )
