Zheng Peng was willing to spend money, coupled with the huge influence of the Boling Cui clan in the local area, all kinds of talents and materials needed were continuously sent, and many places on the side of Linghe started construction at the same time, presenting a hot scene:

At the foot of the mountain, two blast furnaces nearly three feet high were glowing red, and an old blacksmith commanded his apprentice in a loud voice:

"Ah Wang, make the blower faster, the young master said that the temperature should be maintained, so that the iron will have less impurities, which can be comparable to a hundred wrought iron."

"Xiao Jin, each furnace of molten iron must be remembered in proportion, the young master said to find out the most suitable material for building bridges with strength and toughness, and after taking notes, Sanjie will make a backup again, so as not to make mistakes and omissions."

"Be careful, the mold should be done, and each section should not exceed one foot and three feet."

"Don't stop, the young master said, work hard, the food is full, the meat is enough, the salary is indispensable for everyone, which one is lazy, get out of me immediately."

On the bank of the Ling River, Zheng Fu said loudly: "Every piece of wood must be tied strongly, not only tightly, but also nailed with the young master's two-ended nails." ”

"Who made this stake, it shook as soon as it was shaken, the depth is definitely not enough, look for death, hurry up and reinstall it."

"Stay safe, if you are smashed, it will hurt you."

In the Ling River, five ferries were pulled by fiber ropes and stopped in the middle of the river, and many strong men were erecting the lock river rope.

Surprisingly, these cables are tied by large iron rings the size of saucers, with a snap at every other section.

"Second steward, this lock is so weird, what is it for?"

Cui Er was in a good mood and replied: "I have asked Zheng Gongzi about this, and it is used to assist in the construction of bridge piers in the riverbed." ”

"No, this river is so deep, how to make bridge piers?"

"It's just that the water is deep and fast, unless the river is diverted."

"No, if you change the route, how many fertile fields will have to be flooded."

When everyone was talking, Cui Er reprimanded: "Don't guess, Zheng Gongzi said that he built a pier in the river, and he didn't say that he would change the river, do you see it, these big iron rings, when the time comes, the wood will pass through the iron ring and hit the bottom of the river, which can slow down the impact of the water flow and facilitate the construction. ”

As the core figure of the bridge, Zheng Peng is in a bamboo pavilion by the Ling River, holding a sharpened charcoal in his hand, carefully drawing on the paper, not long after, a beautiful bridge jumped on the curtain paper.

Lando can see clearly, the bridge is equipped with two piers, the piers are close to the shore, it seems that the two sides are narrow and the middle is wide, the bridge deck is straight, and there is a curved arch under the bridge, and the shape is very beautiful.

Seeing that after Zheng Peng finished drawing, he used a woodcut ruler to constantly measure and measure, and from time to time he also wiped the painted picture with bun crumbs, a simple picture, and wiped it back and forth, and he didn't get it done for a long time, Lan Duo couldn't help frowning and said: "Zheng Peng, what are you doing, don't you need to wipe it around?" ”

Zheng Peng didn't raise his head, and said while drawing: "I'm drawing renderings." ”

"Renderings, what?"

"It's just how it is in this painting, and what will happen when it is done, you see."

Lan Duo said with some disbelief: "It hasn't been built yet, you know what it will look like after it is built so quickly?" ”

"Of course" Zheng Peng put down the bun crumbs in his hand, pointed to the picture on the paper and said: "Measure and measure, that is, draw it according to the scale, roughly look at the appearance, and then adjust the details appropriately, so that you can see what it looks like, understand." ”

"What is a scale?" Lando asked weakly.

For some reason, as soon as he faced Zheng Peng, Landuo felt that his IQ was not enough.

Zheng Peng paused for a moment, and quickly patiently explained: "Simple, for example, a zhang thing, we draw an inch as a representative, according to the same method, you can accurately draw a bridge on a piece of paper, as long as the drawing is accurate, you can accurately calculate the data at that time." ”

It turned out that this was the case, Lan Duo suddenly realized, but he admired it in his heart, and he was not convinced: "You have a crooked idea." ”

Li Bai on the other side pointed to the middle of the bridge arch and said: "Young master, why are the two piers so close to the shore, if you do it closer, the span is not a little smaller, so that the bridge is easier to build, take a look, the distance from the two piers to the shore is six zhang two feet, and the length of the most central arch is twelve zhang and two feet, Taibai heard the bridge craftsman say that the larger the span of the bridge arch, the higher the difficulty, why the bridge piers on both sides can't be farther from the shore." ”

Zheng Peng glanced at Li Bai and said mysteriously, "Want to know?" ”

"Yes!" Li Bai said without hesitation.

"I don't want to tell you, guess for myself, hahaha." Zheng Peng said with a wicked smile.

Lan Duo was also a little puzzled, but when she saw Zheng Peng's evil smile, a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, and she quickly rolled her eyes and said, "Hmph, that little thought, guess it as soon as you guess, what is the secret." ”

"Okay, what do you say?" Li Bai immediately asked.

The doubts can't be solved, Li Bai's heart is very good, as if there are ants crawling on it, not to mention how uncomfortable it is.

Lan Duo glanced at Zheng Peng and explained, "Anjiqiao has heard of it. ”

"Of course, the famous craftsman Li Chun of the Sui Dynasty designed it, known as the first bridge in the world, and he even went there to walk it."

"Isn't this awake yet?" Lan Duo said with some contempt: "You still think you are a smart person, the maximum span of Anji Bridge is eleven zhang and two feet, and Zheng Peng insists on spanning one zhang more than it, so it seems that he is capable." ”

Zheng Peng smiled when he heard this, but he didn't speak.

Li Bai understood it, and couldn't help but give Zheng Peng a thumbs up: "Son, it's too white, I'm convinced." ”

It is very in line with Zheng Peng's personality, if he is not moving, he is lazy all day long, like a person who retires in advance (official), but as soon as he moves, it is earth-shattering, like the army in the Western Regions, Shangyuan won the lamp, etc., which is the true portrayal of Zheng Peng.

As soon as he made a move, he aimed at Anji Bridge.

Following such a proprietor, Li Bai felt that he was just a staff member, and his face was bright.

Suddenly, Li Bai's nose moved, and he sucked hard, it was full of the fragrance of women's fat powder, and when he looked up, his eyes couldn't help but light up, and he pointed to the side and said excitedly: "Childe, look, so many beauties are all coming to see you." “

Zheng Peng looked up, and sure enough, at some point, the riverbank was full of colorful young women, only to see them holding oil umbrellas, all looking in their own direction, and some of them were smiling while pointing at themselves.

Seeing that they looked over, those women not only did not avoid suspicion, but a few bold ones also put away their oil umbrellas and held their heads high.

"Zheng Gongzi, look here." A woman in a pink Confucian skirt saw Zheng Peng looking over and shouted loudly.

As soon as she spoke, all of a sudden, the women cried out:

"Zheng Gongzi, you are really amazing, go to Boling to repair the bridge."

"On the Shangyuan Festival in Chang'an, the slave family happened to be there, and I saw Zheng Gongzi and Miss Lin riding in a hot air balloon together, ah, it's so beautiful, Zheng Gongzi, do you recognize the slave family?"

"Whether it's the mountains here, the water, and so many sisters, is Zheng Gongzi interested in composing a poem?"

"Gongzi Zheng, you are about to become Boling's son-in-law, do you like Miss Lu Shu more, or do you like Lin Xun'er more?"

......

Boling is the birth of the Boling Cui family, but also edified the local people, the women here are more learned than the women in other places, for those romantic poems and love stories are very yearning, knowing that Zheng Peng, who has been in the limelight recently, went to Boling's Linghe to build a bridge, so a group of people came to see what Zheng Peng looked like.

This formation is similar to chasing stars in later generations.

Li Yuan's daughter Li Xiuning, dressed as a man, organized a brave and warlike women's army when Li Yuan competed for the world, and went into battle to kill the enemy, not to mention the style of Wu Zetian and Princess Taiping, the style of the Tang Dynasty women is becoming more and more arrogant, if it is said that "three steps do not leave the boudoir", it is definitely not a woman who describes the Tang Dynasty.

In the face of so many beauties taking the initiative, Zheng Peng really didn't dare to flirt with them, just turned around with a salute, and said a little proudly: "No way, the charm is too great, and it is popular wherever you go." ”

Cui Yuan's old boy was already unhappy, and if he made any movement, he didn't know what kind of demon moth came out of this family.

Lan Duo rolled her eyes on the side and said disapprehantly, "These women are here to see your style?" Zheng Peng, you think too much, they came to see your jokes. ”
