Yun Chu was not qualified to preside over this important ceremony comparable to the erection of houses.

Therefore, the actual commander of the completion of the main trunk of the Tang Dynasty Wanguo Songde Tianshu is Li Lingkui, the king of Lu, and the main worshipper after the pillar is erected is Yongwang Xian.

In order to prevent accidents, the important ministers of the imperial court thought that the level of Chang'an craftsmen was not enough to erect the pillars foolproofly, so they specially sent a team of the most elite craftsmen from Luoyang to erect the bronze pillars.

Why is there such a behavior of looking down on Chang'an craftsmen?

Just because the Chang'an craftsmen under the command of Yun Chu believed that it was very difficult to erect a 140-foot-high, nearly 2 million-pound main beam as a whole, and hoped that the imperial court would allow them to divide this pillar into three sections, install them one by one, install them through huge rivets and sleeves, and finally put them together into a complete column.

And the craftsmen in Luoyang have long gone crazy in order to suppress Chang'an craftsmen, as long as it is a plan submitted by Chang'an craftsmen, they will oppose it almost without reason.

stubbornly believes that the pillar weighing only 1.8 million catties does not need to be divided at all, only need to add some winches and some power oxen, which is enough to pull this pillar up.

Moreover, a consistent pillar is far more able to demonstrate the prestige of the Tang Dynasty than the bullshit statement of the three talents of heaven, earth and man put forward by Chang'an craftsmen.

In the eyes of Luoyang craftsmen, any bells and whistles are actually a manifestation of lack of ability, and they often use this method, and they are very skilled.

Therefore, the opinions of the Luoyang craftsmen are naturally easy to accept by the courtiers, however, Pei Xingjian has dealt with Yun Chu a lot, so he deliberately kept an eye on it, and played the two plans to the queen, and the queen has the final say on which one to use.

Wu Mei has always been a high-minded and arrogant person, after seeing the music, immediately found the Luoyang craftsmen, carefully inquired about the advantages and disadvantages of the two schemes, and finally, under the strong guarantee of the Luoyang masters, chose the Luoyang craftsmen proposed to improve the plan.

Different from the wealth and danger that the Tang people have always pursued, Yunchu never put himself above those experienced masters in terms of engineering construction, and the attitude of doing engineering is to do special things by specialized people.

Officials can add their own ideas at will, and if they command indiscriminately, there will be problems.

Not to mention that the erection of this Tang Dynasty Praise of All Nations is of great significance to the Tang Dynasty, and it is almost the same level as the great sacrifice of the imperial court, and there must be no mistakes.

The major affairs of the country are for worship.

If you make a mistake in these two aspects, you can't cry out if you are beheaded.

Therefore, Yun Chu tried his best to support the three-section erection plan made by Chang'an craftsmen, and for this reason, he did not hesitate to turn his face with the Luoyang Ministry of Industry and craftsmen, but the final result was still a failure.

Not only did he fail, but he himself was kicked out of the sacrificial group and became an inconsequential observer.

1,800,000 catties, a full 900 tons.

This kind of thing is definitely not a trivial matter when he was a small official in the past, even if there is heavy lifting equipment, it is not guaranteed to be foolproof, just rely on some winches, iron chains, hemp ropes, and a herd of cattle now?

However, the Luoyang craftsmen were not fools who were useless, and they had already placed the bronze pillar on a huge slope made of thick logs.

There is a tall scaffold on the slope, and they use the principle of levers to pull up the copper pillar little by little, and then continuously raise the slope below, so that the angle of the copper pillar is closer and closer to 90 degrees.

Today, what the craftsmen have to do is to lift this copper pillar, move it two zhang away, and insert the copper pillar into the stele base that they had built a long time ago in Yunchu.

Therefore, in order to accurately insert the copper pillar into it, a wooden mountain made of giant logs appeared at the gate of the imperial city.

Yun Chu looked at this wooden mountain, his distressed heart was bleeding, he originally suggested that people use mounds of earth, but as a result, he was ruthlessly laughed at by the master from Luoyang.

On the edge of Chang'an is Zhongnan Mountain, and there is no shortage of wood in the mountain, but the wood used by these bastards is a giant tree that is more than a hundred years old, which leads to looking back at Zhongnan Mountain now, and the boss is bald.

It is this extravagant behavior of these bastards that has led to the fact that more than a thousand years later, only shrubs grow on Zhongnan Mountain, and no trees grow.

Naha is a two-hundred-five, and she deliberately chose a position for herself to watch the copper pillar being pulled up, and it was obvious that this position was very unsafe in Yun Chu's opinion.

Naha was looking at the bronze pillar shining in the sun, but Yongwangxian, who was not far away, was looking at Naha, and for some reason Yun Chu saw the lustful color in the eyes of this fake.

Just as he was about to go over and take Nahara away, the slogans of the craftsmen on the construction site below rang out one after another.

Yun Chu had to admit that Datang's engineering and construction technology was indeed very advanced, and they could already calculate the maximum force needed to pull up this copper pillar.

Therefore, when the five hundred sturdy ploughing cattle exerted their strength together, the cattle herds on both sides that controlled the direction of the copper pillar also began to exert their strength in turn, and the copper pillar that was originally leaning on the wooden slope slowly rotated with the huge winch, and slowly lifted its body.

Li Shen, who was originally standing in the first row to watch the ceremony, came to Yun Chu's side at some point and whispered, "Why did you come here?" ”

Yun Chu said: "Because this place is one hundred and eighty feet away from the pedestal. ”

Li Shen looked at the copper pillar that was slowly getting up and nodded: "There are a lot, the pillar is only one hundred and forty feet, and it can't be smashed here." ”

Yun Chu looked at Li Shen and said, "Can you hope for something better, if this pillar falls, the officials of Chang'an, including you, will not be able to escape responsibility." ”

"Why am I, an idler who comes to watch the ceremony, guilty?"

Yun Chu said: "Because the people are not energetic enough, they have brought bad luck to the copper pillar......

Li Shen said: "This is also okay? ”

Yun Chu sneered and said: "If you have nothing to do, go to the file room in Wannian County and take a look at some of the cases handled by Zhou Xing, farting too stinky is a reason to kill." ”

Li Shen swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "You're going to be fine, right?" ”

Yun Chu said: "What? ”

Li Shen said to the bronze pillar Nunu: "I mean, if the pillar falls, you won't be fine, right?" ”

Yun Chuhu looked at Li Shen suspiciously and said, "Did you get your hands and feet?" ”

Li Shen immediately shook his head like a rattle and said, "How is it possible." ”

Yun Chu also felt that Li Shen didn't have the courage, and when he was about to say that he didn't have anything to do with himself, he heard Li Shen say: "The reason why I got up late this morning is because I had nightmares last night, which is not a good sign." ”

Yun Chu looked left and right, and saw that no one was paying attention to them, and they were all busy looking at the copper pillar, so he lowered his voice and said: "It's all old friends, don't say that I didn't advise you, close your mouth tightly, and don't say a word that shouldn't be said." ”

Li Shen sneered and said, "I'm about to suffocate to death, who will I tell if I don't tell you?" ”

Yun Chu said with a smile: "Don't talk about those who don't have it, take a good look at this masterpiece in the history of Datang engineering." ”

Li Shen looked at the herd of cattle that were slowly moving forward, and the disdain on his face became more and more intense.

As the copper pillars were gradually straightened, even Yun Chu was almost concentrating on those huge winks, this was the fundamental thing, as long as these winches could withstand the weight of the nine hundred tons, the problem would not be too big.

The shafts of these winches are iron pillars with the thickness of human legs, and they go straight to the ground for more than three zhang, and the end of the iron shaft also specially hit two two-zhang long horizontal branches, fill the holes with boulders, and water the gaps with three-fold soil and glutinous rice slurry in the middle, it stands to reason that such eight pillars are enough to complete the mission of erecting copper pillars this time.

It wasn't until the tall bronze pillars were completely erected that even Yun Chu couldn't help but cheer for the precision engineering methods of Luoyang's great craftsmen.

Looking at the thick copper pillar under the constraints of iron chains and hemp ropes, and under the continuous instructions of the Luoyang masters, they moved to the pedestal inch by inch, and the cheers of the Chang'an people who came to see the excitement were almost boiling.

At this moment, Yong Wangxian, who had been watching Naha, suddenly covered his mouth in pain, and he didn't know that a hidden weapon flew out of there and hit him in the mouth.

Yong Wangxian quickly looked around, and found that everyone was frantically shouting for the copper pillar, and the direction in which the hidden weapon flew was obviously the copper pillar, and there were many craftsmen over there who were waiting for the arrival of the copper pillar calmly, and no one should be so plotting against him.

Yong Wangxian swallowed a mouthful of blood, spit it out in his hand, and then, three teeth and a small iron rivet appeared in his palm.

Where do rivets come from?

Yongwang Xianqiang endured the pain and looked in the direction of the copper pillar, but as a result, he didn't find anything, only a copper pillar that was moving slowly.

Helan Minzhi soon discovered that Yong Wangxian was wrong, and hurriedly asked in a low voice, and Yong Wangxian put the three teeth in his hand and the iron rivet into Helan Minzhi's hand.

Helan Minzhi had been peeking at Naha until Yong Wang Xian, and quickly glanced in the direction where Yun Chu was, and found that Yun Chu was more than ten zhang away from Yong Wang Xian, and the position was still behind Yong Wang Xian, so there was no possibility of hitting Yong Wang Xian's mouth at all.

"Your Highness, let's go and wrap up our wounds."

Yong Wangxian swallowed another mouthful of blood and shook his head, it was a critical moment at this time, and he didn't want to leave.

Helan Minzhi handed his handkerchief to Yong Wangxian to replace the handkerchief that had been stained with blood, and said in a low voice: "When the copper pillar is in place, I will immediately go to find out where this rivet came from." ”

Yong Wang Xian's tears of pain flowed, but he still maintained his insistence as a prince. Even though he was trembling all over, he still stood straight.

Yun Chu's ear power was excellent, although the scene was very noisy, the habits he developed on the battlefield still made him hear an imperceptible clicking sound in the noise.

Yun Chu's expression changed drastically, and he immediately focused his attention on the winch......
