I don't know who spread the news that Zheng Peng was going to repair the bridge piers, the next morning, Zheng Peng had not gotten up yet, the people by the Linghe River were already crowded, many people brought their families to watch, one by one eagerly waiting, to see how Zheng Peng built a bridge that could allow four load-bearing carriages to pass side by side.

Zheng Peng's use of Boling's son-in-law to build a bridge for Boling was already full of topics, and now he is also involved in the bet of Cui's bungalow and the two young ladies in the third room, which is even more eye-catching.

The core of a bridge is the bridge pier, knowing that Zheng Peng is going to build a bridge pier, they all want to see how Zheng Peng built a bridge pier in the turbulent Ling River, everyone wants to see with their own eyes, this Tang Dynasty is in the limelight, full of topics, is magical or nerve.

Before the start of construction began, the onlookers whispered:

"You see, it's the elevated road, the one they are in charge of is called the boom, but it's flexible, one series, one crane and one turn, and the big wooden stake will go to the Linghe."

"It's strange, he drove a row of piles in the river, and the stakes were only half driven, and the water couldn't stop them, so what did he do with so many wooden piles, what did he do?"

"If you hit a few wooden piles, you can say that you will build a bridge pier, but if you don't know that a wooden pile is a bridge pier."

"You say that Zheng Gongzi is whimsical, but I don't think so, Chang'an Horse Racing still remembers, Zheng Gongzi relied on a pile of wood to build a bicycle, and finally won Sulu Khan's Maxima with a bicycle, so you have to have confidence in Zheng Gongzi."

"That is, Zheng Gongzi can make a hot air balloon that can take people to the sky, and it is definitely not a problem to build a bridge."

"This is Boling, and Zheng Gongzi is the future son-in-law of the third room of the Boling Cui family, so I am not sure, I won't boast of such a Haikou."

There was a lot of discussion among the people, and they were divided into two factions, one group believed that Zheng Peng had this kind of magical ability, and the other thought that Zheng Peng was boasting about Haikou and would definitely not be able to build the kind of bridge he said.

In the crowd, a young man wearing a cloth and a round-necked robe was looking nervously, this young man was too handsome, his eyebrows were clear, his complexion was white and red, in fact, he could see clearly, this "young man" did not have an Adam's apple, and was a "tomboy".

This "tomboy" is played by Lu Shu, these two days Zheng Peng because of the pile, get up early and busy dark, and finish before the rainy season, at least the bridge pier is done, did not go to the microphone with Lu Shu to transmit the sound, Lu Shu is a little worried, I heard that Zheng Peng is going to build a bridge pier today, and I want to see Zheng Peng, and I want to see how the bridge is built, so I came secretly.

Coming openly, it is very conspicuous, and people will feel that they are not reserved enough when they see it, and finally they disguise themselves as men with cardinals and blend in the crowd.

"Miss, don't look at it, it's still early, Zheng Gongzi hasn't gotten up yet, you see, his close entourage Ah Jun and Huang San are sitting at the door, it must be Zheng Gongzi inside." The cardinal observed very carefully and quickly pointed it out to the green tree.

Lu Shu said with some distress: "The river is damp and there are many mosquitoes, the young master lives here, he will definitely suffer, and he will not find a good inn to live in." ”

The cardinal covered his mouth and smiled, and said in a low voice: "That's because Zheng Gongzi wants to marry the young lady home as soon as possible." ”

"You're making fun of me again."

"Miss," said the cardinal, pointing to the eight wooden stakes in the river, "building a bridge with wooden stakes?" How much can you bear? ”

"I don't know very well about this."

Cardinal said in surprise: "Didn't Zheng Gongzi tell you?" Did you tell me about the bet you made with Miss Yufang? ”

"I said, the young master also said that I gambled well, but how to build the bridge, I didn't ask the young master and didn't say."

After a pause, Lu Shu said with a firm face: "The young master said yes, then it must be possible." ”

The cardinal looked at the determined green shu, and then at the wooden stakes in the river, and the suspicion in her eyes deepened, but she said: "Well, the slave family also believes in Zheng Gongzi." ”

Lu Shu was about to praise Zheng Peng a few more words, but the cardinal suddenly pulled her back, squeezed into the crowd, and lowered her voice as she pulled: "It's the ancestor of the big house, hey, why did he come, and our Dingzhou Governor Shi Zhuge Zhi." ”

The old ancestor is called Cui Yu, who is the head of the Boling Cui family's big house, and is responsible for managing the ancestral temple of the Boling Cui family, because he was born in a big house and is a descendant, when it comes to qualifications, Cui Yuan also has to respectfully call him a big brother.

Even the cardinals are jealous of his three points, if he sees Lu Shu wearing men's clothes, I really don't know how he will react.

The cardinal was a little frightened, and on the other side, Huang San also anxiously urged Zheng Peng, who was washing his face: "Young master, Cui Lao Langjun of the big house and Shi Zhuge Zhi, the governor of Dingzhou, have arrived, you hurry up." ”

"What are they doing here?" Zheng Peng's first sentence was a rhetorical question.

"I don't know the little ones, I guess it's an inspection, young master, hurry up, they're here."

Zhuge Zhi Zheng Peng doesn't know, but he still knows Cui Yu, the big house Yan clan, the ancestral ancestral hall, is older than Cui Yuan and Cui Wei, and is the "big patriarch" of the Boling Cui family, and his status is very respectful.

Zheng Peng was a little puzzled, but he still quickly took care of personal hygiene, and as soon as he went out, he saw Cui Er at the door.

"Childe, the old man of the big house and Zhuge Changshi are here, you go and greet them."

Zheng Peng answered and followed Cui Er to greet him.

Looking from afar, I saw a middle-aged man with a long beard and fluttering hair accompanying an old man with white hair to come here, the two of them did not ride a car or a horse, but walked and walked, talking and laughing.

As soon as they met, before Cui Er had time to introduce, the old man suddenly saluted: "Old Cui Yu, I've seen General Zheng." ”

Zheng Peng was startled, and hurriedly helped him up: "I can't help it, I can't help it, Cui Lao is killing the juniors, please get up quickly." ”

I thought this patriarch was so serious, but I didn't expect it to be so polite.

"Lao Suo has no official and no character, and when he sees the general, he naturally has to salute." Cui Yu said with a smile.

"Don't, this is not a government office, Elder Cui is an elder, Feiteng is a junior, how can there be a reason to ask elders to salute juniors."

Zhuge Zhi also nodded and said: "General Zheng is right, he is commensurate with his seniority, which makes him even closer." ”

Zheng Peng saluted Zhuge Zhi: "This must be Zhuge Changshi, I didn't expect even you to be shocked, ashamed, ashamed." ”

"Where" Zhuge Zhi said with a smile: "General Zheng built a bridge for Boling and benefited the people, such a big thing, a certain accompanied Cui Lao to come and take a look, it was we who alarmed General Zheng." ”

"Don't dare to be, you have to rely on a parent official like Zhuge Changshi to benefit one party, Feiteng is just doing a little thing." Zheng Peng said modestly.

At this time, Cui Yu was a little impatient, and said: "Okay, you don't have to push around, Feiteng, it's important, the old man came today to see how you build the bridge, don't worry about the two of us, just do what you have to do." ”

"Yes, yes, I came with Cui Lao to see how General Zheng built the bridge, along the way, there are really a lot of differences, I think it can give us a lot of surprises, please."

Zheng Peng didn't want to be polite with these two for too long, so he said a few polite words to the two of them, and asked Zheng Fu to bring tables, chairs, tea and snacks to the two of them, and then left, ready to start work.

"Zheng Peng, what are you going to do? So many people are watching, it's not a joke. Lando appeared out of nowhere, a look of concern on her face.

"Hehe, Young Master Ben has always been afraid that there are few people and not enough talent, when are you afraid of too many people, watch, witness the moment of miracle." Zheng Peng said confidently.

After Lan Duo came to Boling, she was a little elusive, as if she often didn't see anyone, but after a while, she came out again to raise the bar with herself, this time she could see that she cared about herself, and Zheng Peng was a little moved.

"Just don't let the county lord see the joke."

Zheng Peng didn't speak, just shouted: "Old Qi, bring things out." ”

"Yes, young master."

So, in full view of everyone, Lao Qi instructed a few servants to take out the wooden planks from the carpentry shed and pile them on the side of the Ling River, and after a while, the riverside was full of planks about two zhang long, one foot wide, and more than an inch thick.

These planks all have a characteristic, one side is grooved, and the other side is convex groove, which is clearly for the purpose of splicing.

Soon, Lao Qi said loudly: "Young Master, everything is ready." ”

Zheng Peng glanced around, and found a pair of eyes that were either curious or questioning, with an imperceptible smile on the corner of his mouth, and a big wave of his hand: "According to the method I said yesterday, go on the board." ”

At the sound of an order, I saw Lao Liu pick up the convex groove of a wooden board and align it with the groove of another board, and then docked it with a bang, connecting a total of two, and putting together three one-foot-wide planks into a three-foot-wide plank.

After putting it together, Lao Qi climbed up step by step from the pre-built shelf, climbed to the top of the stake, only to see him simply adjust the angle, and then put the board into the trough that the two stakes had dug beforehand, and put it down from above, and in the middle of the shelf, another carpenter continued to press the plank down, until it reached the surface of the water.

Before he could finish the calculation, when he reached the water, the carpenter wrapped the wooden hammer in a cloth and continued to knock the plank down, and a servant who was proficient in water got into the water and pressed the plank into the riverbed like a relay.

In ancient times, there was no pollution, the water was very clear, and the situation under the water could be faintly seen, Lao Qi commanded loudly: "Press the board down, no matter what method you use, press it as deep as you can, it is best to be as deep as a stake, hey, light, be careful not to break the board." ”

"Over there, quick, continue to put on the board, put three pieces together and press down from the trunking."

"Pay attention to the grooves and convex grooves should not be damaged, and replace them if they are damaged, so as not to do useless work."

"Ngawang, you have good water quality, dive down, help clean up the sediment on the riverbed, and bring a picker to dig as deep as you want."

"Pay attention to safety when going into the water, tie a rope around everyone's waist, and you can pull it back as soon as you have something, safety first."

Under Lao Liu's unified scheduling, more than 30 people began to be nervously busy around the eight wooden stakes, some people put together boards, some people pressed down, some people were responsible for pressing the plates underwater, and some people were responsible for staring to prevent accidental discoveries.

Everyone didn't know what Zheng Peng was going to do, Dingzhou Assassin Shi Zhuge Zhi was also a little puzzled at first, watched for more than two quarters of an hour, suddenly his eyes lit up, he slapped his thigh suddenly, and couldn't help but shout: "Wonderful, wonderful, General Zheng's method is absolutely amazing." ”
