"Childe, we bought rosin from all the crude medicine shops in several nearby counties." Cui Datian said cautiously.

Rosin is the oleoresin exuded by pine trees, the remaining solid resin after distillation or extraction of volatile oil, has the effect of dispelling wind and dampness, draining pus and pulling out poison, building muscle and relieving pain, and has a unique effect on carbuncle sores, scrofula, scabies, scabies, white baldness, furiousness, paralysis, gold sores and other symptoms, and in later generations, it plays a huge role in the field of chemical industry.

However, in the Tang Dynasty, rosin could only be used as a traditional Chinese medicine, lying in the medicine cabinet of the crude medicine shop.

"Yes, find a way to collect another batch, the quantity is about the same as now." Zheng Peng said with satisfaction.

"Understood, Childe, the little one will go right away."

"Don't be in such a hurry, just come back and take a rest first, just give me everything in half a month, by the way, the money will be reimbursed by Zheng Fu."

After sending Cui Datian away, Huang San looked at those rosins curiously, and said in surprise: "Young master, why are you buying so many rosins?" ”

Zheng Peng didn't bother to explain, waved his hand and said, "Soon you will understand, let people move to the warehouse first." ”

"Got it, young master."

After going to see the progress of piling and the progress of blast furnace ironmaking, Zheng Peng's footsteps finally stopped in the carpentry shed.

In the simple shed made of bamboo and wooden planks, more than 20 carpenters worked hard, most of them holding chisels and digging wire grooves in the trunks.

"Young Master." When Lao Qi, the leader of the team, saw Zheng Peng coming, he immediately put down the work in his hand and stepped forward to salute.

Lao Qi is a carpenter, when Zheng Peng repaired the new house in Yuancheng, he bought a group of craftsmen from Tuo Guo Ketang and came back, Lao Qi was one of them, because of his good craftsmanship and meticulous work, he was promoted to the leader of the carpenters, and this time he was also brought over by building a bridge.

Zheng Peng asked directly: "How long will it take to complete the things you have done?" ”

"These trunkings and planks have to be made on the spot, which is a bit troublesome, but now we are in full swing, and we will complete it in three days." Lao Qi thought about it and gave an answer.

"Okay, it's just three days, but you can help me keep an eye on the quality, if there is a problem, I won't look for someone else, just find you."

Lao Qi said confidently: "Young master, if something goes wrong, how to punish it, the little one will never complain." ”

Time flies, three days go by in a blink of an eye, and of course, if you use it well, you can do a lot in three days.

Only three days later, the hanger was installed, and Cui Er also led people to firmly insert a row of wooden stakes into the riverbed with the help of the lock river cable, with which a relatively flat space could be created.

Seeing that everything was ready, Zheng Peng looked at the sky, yes, the sky was clear, the sun was shining, he couldn't bear the excitement in his heart, and waved his hand: "Old Qi, bring out the prepared things." ”

"Yes, young master."

Soon, specially shaped wooden piles, planks, and some long iron bars were carried to the Linghe River to prepare for the repair of the bridge piers.

At this time, next to the construction site, the onlookers who surrounded the inner three floors and the outer three floors were waiting to see how Zheng Peng built the bridge.

The entertainment life of ancient people is very lacking, there is no entertainment, sometimes boring, a few years ago, Chen Gu's rotten sesame thing also came out and said, in the eyes of Boling people, Zheng Peng has multiple identities: a talented man, a brave and warlike general, or the son-in-law of the Boling Cui family, just his identity is attractive, and he also makes so many new things by the Ling River, and it is a barrage and a pile, and he also made a shelf more than four feet high.

Although I don't really understand what Zheng Gongzi is doing, it looks interesting.

As a result, the construction site seems to have become a stage, and there are many onlookers every day, including many young girls who come to visit.

Seeing Zheng Peng start to make a big move, a group of people who eat melons began to discuss:

"See, the one who gave the number is the son-in-law of the Cui family's third room."

"Tsk, people are generals at a young age, and they have titles, and the two of my family are as good as Zheng Gongzi's fingers, but the ancestral tomb is smoking."

"You say, what's the use of building such a high shelf?"

"With so much wood, is this going to build a wooden bridge? The wooden bridge is not stable enough, even if it can't be washed away by the flood, it will rot after two years of soaking. ”

"Let's tell a secret, the Cui family's bungalow and the third room are also betting, do you know what the bet is, say it to scare you to death, Miss Cui Yufang of the bungalow took out a set of eighteen pieces of flower shelving wooden furniture, and Miss Cui Lushu of the third room is even more amazing, four cars of dowry, this time there is a lot of fun."

"I also know about this, now many people in Boling are discussing, four carriages go side by side, that has to be a large part of the bridge, and it has to bear the crushing of the eighteen dead and heavy pieces of furniture in the bungalow, and I see that the gray-shirted subordinate is Miss Cui Yufang's follower, who comes to inquire about the situation every day."

Everyone was talking, some of them were loud, and the words reached Zheng Peng's ears, but Zheng Peng ignored them and kept directing and dispatching.

"Young master, you're all ready." After everything was ready, Huang San reported to Zheng Peng.

It seems that the relevant work will be completed in a few days, but in fact, the preparation work began before the Chinese New Year, Zheng Peng has been waiting for this day for a long time, nodded to Huang San, and then said with a little excitement: "The hanger is ready, and now the No. 1 wooden pile is hoisted." ”

An order was given, and someone immediately brought a large wooden stake about three zhang high, tied to the boom of the hanger, and lifted it lightly, and the stake was lifted off the ground, and soon, everyone saw a miraculous scene: the upper part of the hanger turned half a circle, and the big wooden stake more than three zhang high was suddenly hung from the shore into the Ling River.

"Wow"

There was an uproar from the crowd, and no one expected that the high shelf would be so flexible and suddenly lift such a heavy wooden stake into the Ling River.

The people of Datang will also use the simple lever principle to work, mostly simple one-way operation, but the hanger designed by Zheng Peng can rotate 360 degrees, which makes them amazed.

However, the surprise of the crowd was not over, only to see a craftsman adjust it, and the long boom could also be moved, and with a few simple adjustments, the sunken wooden stake was moved to a close position.

At this time in the Linghe River, Zheng Peng had already marked the relevant positions to mark, a total of eight points, each point was inserted with a long bamboo pole, eight bamboo poles were marked with numbers, and then replaced by wooden stakes, around the bamboo poles, a boat bridge was also built, the boat was fixed with a fiber rope, and a wooden board was laid on it, so that people could walk and carry things on it.

Everyone didn't know why Zheng Peng marked eight points, it seemed that some points were very close, and the strange thing was that those wooden stakes were all dug grooves, which looked weird.

Due to poor coordination, it took two hours for the first stake to be lowered, stabilized, adjusted angled, and then fixed.

Lack of experience is a factor, the most important reason is to fix, the length of more than three zhang of large wooden piles fixed on the riverbed, but also to meet Zheng Peng's "unshakable" standard, that takes a lot of effort to drive piles, more than ten strong men take turns to move, desperately to hit the stakes down, the handles are sore.

At this time, the hanging frame played a huge role, after putting down the wooden stake, a large hanging basket was tied, and people could stand in the hanging basket to play, which was much easier.

With the experience of the first root, the back was much easier, and the second root took less than an hour to complete.

Zheng Peng was afraid that it would rain one day, and he didn't care about resting, so he asked people to set up a fire, light lanterns and torches, and rush to work overnight, which took two full days to accurately insert the eight wooden stakes into the predetermined position.

"Young master, it's finally done, take a break, take a sip of honey and moisten your throat first." Huang San brought a chair and asked Zheng Peng to sit down.

Zheng Peng sat down, took the honey water and drank a few sips, then he breathed a long sigh of relief and said: "I finally completed the first step, and my voice has been a little hoarse in the past two days." ”

When Huang San wanted to ask what to do next, Cui Er walked over and said with a smile: "Childe, these two days have been hard. ”

"It's not hard, but Steward Cui is running up and down, it's your hard work."

"Don't dare, don't dare, this is what a subordinate should do, don't say that, kill the old slave."

Zheng Peng glanced at Cui Er and said, "If Steward Cui has anything to say, you might as well say it bluntly." ”

Cui Er hesitated for a moment, and couldn't help but say, "Childe, are these eight pillars bridge piers?" ”

Seriously, Cui Er was a little disappointed in his heart, Zheng Peng said it so well, and it was so grand, he always thought that Zheng Peng was going to build a particularly strong bridge for Boling, but he didn't expect Zheng Peng to spend so much effort to hit eight wooden stakes.

Is this going to be a wooden bridge?

It's really a wooden bridge, and it's too good to blow.

In this way, not only Cui Er was disappointed that Boling did not have a solid bridge, and Zheng Peng's character was shaken, but the most important thing was that Miss made a bet with the bungalow Cui Yufang for Zheng Peng, and the bet was not small, if she lost, it would not only be the loss of property, but also the reputation of Sanfang.

The bungalow and the third room seem to be a harmonious atmosphere, but in fact, there is a bit of discord between the face and the heart, and they have been secretly competing, taking this bet as an example, the cousins sent a dowry as a bet, Boling is almost everyone knows, Cui Yuan, who is in charge of the third room, is not there, but there is no movement on the side of the bungalow, it must be the elders above who acquiesced to this matter.

Cui Er was annoyed when he saw those wooden pillars, the reason was very simple, he really relied on those eight wooden pillars to build a bridge, and it was estimated that ordinary carriages were shaky when they passed, not to mention carriages carrying flowered wooden furniture, or four of them walking side by side.

If this is the case, the young lady will definitely lose in this bet.

"No, it's to help repair the piers." Zheng Peng said very simply.

Cui Er is a typical old loyal slave, never think about himself, and complete the things explained by the master conscientiously, as the second housekeeper of Cui's third room, he was originally to assist Zheng Peng in building a bridge, but now it's good, come here to help run east and west, busy and busy, if you don't know, I think Cui Er is the next person of Zheng Peng's family.

I can't bear to hang his appetite.

Cui Er breathed a sigh of relief, and then said with interest: "Childe, with these eight wooden stakes, what kind of movement can you make in the water?" ”

"Want to know?"

"Think," Cui Er said honestly.

Zheng Peng smiled mysteriously: "Tomorrow is the time to witness the miracle, hurry up." ”
