Chapter Ninety-Six: Return to Chang'an
96. Return to Chang'an
A group of workers received real wages, and one by two threw off their arms and prepared to work.
Because a small half of the lower part of the meteorite was smashed into the ground, Li Pojun led people to dig it out with an iron shovel, revealing the whole body of the meteorite, and then tried his best to roll the meteorite onto the thick wooden plank, this wooden board did not know what it was specifically for, and it was also thanks to Li Zhen that Li Zhen could find it, the solid wood with a thickness of twenty or thirty centimeters, which seemed to be a gate, and like a city gate, could also bear the weight of the meteoric iron, and processed the two ends of the wooden board to make it into the basic shape of a wooden sled.
He also instructed everyone to spread the fine sand on the road evenly, and sent two people in front of him to keep carrying buckets to sprinkle water on the way forward, so that the sand was moderately humid under the guidance of Li Pojun.
Finally, everything was ready, and a small slope was filled in from the roadside fields to a small section of the road, which should be the heaviest and the hardest.
Fortunately, Li Zhen bought enough ropes and chains, and after tying the meteorite iron and the wooden sled firmly, more than ten elite soldiers guarded, more than 30 strong and powerful men, and most importantly, there was the big killer of Hanwa, I saw Hanwa wrapping an iron cable around her arm.
As soon as everyone shouted, the embarrassed thing was that the sled only moved, or even shook forward, to be exact.
Belch...... Li Zhen, Li Tie and the others looked at Li Pojun with blinking eyes, and everyone seemed to be hit by it, just shaking it, what kind of situation is this, it seems to be ...... It seems that His Highness's strange method is not easy to do.
Li Pojun's face was full of embarrassment, and he was also puzzled in his heart, it stands to reason that this method must be feasible, this meteorite is more than ten tons according to his visual inspection, that is, tens of thousands of catties, it sounds really heavy, and it is very heavy, but this is not directly lifted, and the use of this ingenious method will definitely not require so much strength, not to mention that these dozens of people are young and strong people, one hundred and eighty catties per person should be okay, not to mention that there is a humanoid tank with a human figure here, and the force is "a thousand catties", It turned out to be just a little shaky now, and it shouldn't be like this.
Li Pojun approached to see with a deep face, and everyone was watching quietly.
When he arrived at the small slopes of the roadside and the fields, Li Pojun looked at it and immediately understood that if the sled was flat on the ground, it would definitely be pulled, and it would be more stable and easy on the sand with a certain humidity.
But on the hill here, the sled was hollowed, the bottom of the sled was empty, and one end of the sled was deep into the sand at the end of the roadside slope.
Li Pojun was very embarrassed when he saw it, it would be hellish if he could pull it up by manpower, unless the power of the gods pulled the entire slope apart.
Call the crowd and smooth out the slope and bring it back to its original state.
After a lot of twists and turns, he almost smashed and injured people, but fortunately, there were many people with great strength, and soon, the position was corrected.
Finally, in the sound of a majestic and powerful trumpet, the wooden sled carried the meteorite slowly on the way into the town street.
And the most conspicuous of them is none other than Hanwa, the green tendons in Hanwa's hands are exposed, the crunching of the iron cable, and the voice shouting overpowering everyone's voice, obviously becoming everyone's head.
On the flat road, the sand was sprinkled under Li Pojun's constant guidance, the humidity was just right, and the wooden sled was also pulled to walk smoothly, looking at the huge and heavy meteorite looking easy to move forward, everyone felt more and more energetic, and felt that such a big guy was moved, we are really powerful, we are all good men.
And Li Pojun is sighing, manpower is really endless, I heard that there are more than 300 tons of boulders in the Forbidden City in the previous life, Li Pojun can't help but think, what kind of spectacular scene is it, in order to move more than 300 tons of boulders, more than 300 tons, that is close to 700,000 catties, it is terrible to think about, these tons of meteorite are really small compared to that, and I can't help but be impressed by the wisdom of the ancients.
In less than an hour, the meteorite was transported into the town.
The streets of this town are indeed paved with bluestone slabs, and Li Pojun doesn't want to pave the streets of the town with sand in Laomin, which is too troublesome, and it will also make people angry, which Li Pojun does not want.
No sand road? It's good to say, the ancients had a way, and we just taught ourselves.
Li Pojun didn't expect this way just now, but now it seems that he can only go to the materials again, so everyone can rest for a while.
"Li Zheng Li Ran, you quickly find four or five logs, remember that the size needs to be almost the same, not one big and one small."
Four or five pieces of wood are easy to find, not to mention that this Bailu town is originally near the mountains, even if ordinary people don't have wood, it won't take long to go to the site to cut it.
That's right, Li Pojun just wanted to use the rolling log method to transport, the so-called "rolling wood method" is the method adopted by ancient craftsmen when transporting boulders, that is, to pad logs under the boulders, and use the rolling of the logs to transport and install the boulders.
Li Zheng and the others took the order, Li Pojun also circled around the meteorite, and some workers who were sitting nearby to rest were also very curious, what is this big pimple disaster star, why does the prince be so concerned?
Li Pojun also didn't explain, after all, well, it's good to be mysterious.
After waiting for most of the hour, Li Zheng and the others drove an ox cart, and Li Pojun wanted to laugh when he saw the ox, as if he was afraid that the ox would go crazy.
Clumsily shouted to stop the cow, and Li Zheng and the others jumped down.
"Xiaolang, this is a pair of beams and pillars that were replaced in a people's house, they are all strong and the same size, so they were bought at a reasonable price."
"Okay, very good", Li Pojun looked at this one of the same size, and they were all round, and it was more convenient to roll on the ground.
Next, the crowd lifted the wooden sled with a lever, and then rolled the wooden plug underneath, very fast, and the smoke was so far away.
The meteorite was placed in the purchased mansion, and Li Pojun also deliberately covered it with a shield.
When the workers left, they called Li Pojun a thanksgiving, after all, such a high wage was never seen by those skinning landlord families, and they still took the money first, and then worked.
Li Pojun instructed Li Tie to lead more than ten palace guards to be stationed here, Li Tie has rich experience in handling things, and he is an old man in the palace, ability and loyalty are not a problem, and he has given enough money, but he must not let the meteorite fail, Li Tie is even more solemnly guaranteed, the iron is in the people, Li Pojun is not easy to say anything, and he took Li Zheng and Li Ran and a few people hurriedly returned to Chang'an.
Why is he in a hurry, you ask? Because he's afraid, Chang'an still has his wife, but when he left last night, he ran away without saying hello, and he didn't return overnight, and when he went back, he inevitably asked the eldest grandson for a while.
Hurry back with a horse, dozens of miles away.
"You don't have anything to say?" The eldest grandson sat in the main seat quietly, his tone was very calm, and his emotions could not fluctuate, just sipping tea leisurely.
Li Pojun, who was kneeling below, couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, this ...... This is so abnormal, the script is not like this, it shouldn't be like this.
It stands to reason that the eldest grandson Wujian should be scolding him with his ears, how can he be so calm, Li Pojun also knows that this is probably the calm before the storm.
