Chapter 910: Ask God to Come to Earth
"What do you want to see first?" An overseer asked cautiously.
Jiang Hao looked at the big construction site in the distance, there were already people busy working, and there were people everywhere, "Let's all go around, and the official will understand the general situation first." ”
"Okay, I'll call a carriage for the overseer." An overseer.
Why call a carriage?
Because the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum is too big.
Everyone got into the carriage, Jiang Hao himself had one, and the five superintendents were crowded on one, but this also made these guys feel very happy, they stood all night, and the group of carriages and horses walked inside, but the closer they got to Jiang Hao, the more he sighed at this huge imperial mausoleum, it was too huge.
With the surveying and mapping of later generations, the Mausoleum of the Qin Emperor covers an area of 56.25 square kilometers, more than 60 Forbidden City is so big, the terracotta warriors and horses excavated by later generations are just the burial pits next to it, official roads, palaces, gardens, stone people and stone horses abound.
Not only the main imperial mausoleum, but also countless workshops and villages, located in the meantime, some are casting copper chariots and horses, some are making terracotta figurines, some are beating stones, and some are doing carpentry, each with a different division of labor.
You know, there are 400,000 people here, and 400,000 people will reach the population of a county in later generations.
Jiang Hao saw that there was a lot of terracotta figurines piled up in front of him, and said in his heart, this is the famous Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Qin Shi Huang in later generations, he has seen the Terracotta Warriors and Horses, but they have been buried for more than 2,000 years, and he has never seen what it looks new.
"Go over there and have a look." Jiang Hao said to the person who was driving the car.
The convoy entered the village, where there were patches of adobe houses, adobe walls, thatched roofs, and a kiln next to the village, which was supposed to be specially used to make terracotta figurines, and in the open space, there were many figurines that had been fired, and some people were painting these terracotta figurines.
Jiang Hao got out of the car and walked over to the open space, and when the people who were working saw a group of adults getting down from the carriage, they immediately stood aside one by one, cautiously not daring to speak.
These terracotta figurines are squatting or standing, with different shapes, and the armor on their bodies is all dressed up by the Qin army, and the armor, clothes, shoes, skin, and eyes are all painted with rich oil paint, and they are lifelike.
Jiang Haoxin said, it turns out that this is the real terracotta warriors, but they are much better looking than those in the No. 1 pit, even the skin is flesh-colored, and the clothes of these people are even more colorful.
What is particularly interesting is that Jiang Hao looked around and found that almost none of these people's faces were the same, and some of them still had cute mustaches, Jiang Hao asked curiously: "Who set the face shapes of these people?" ”
A person who should be the head of the craftsman replied cautiously, "When casting the terracotta figurines, I said that we should take people as a model, we don't have so many models, so many of them are made with the faces of people." ”
Jiang Hao nodded,
Now I understand.
Jiang Hao looked at the adobe thatched huts again, walked towards that side, and found that there was nothing in these thatched huts, only some thatch on the ground, and some piles of tattered bedding.
Leaving the terracotta warrior village, he walked for another quarter of an hour, and finally came to the main mausoleum of the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum, Jiang Hao found that this was a huge construction site, full of people, densely packed, all sitting with their heads bowed and sitting on their work.
Seeing the main mausoleum, Jiang Hao had only one word to describe,
big
It's huge.
It is said that the underground palace is 392 meters wide from east to west and 460 meters long from north to south, with a total area of about 180,000 square meters.
What concept,
270 acres.
And that's just the main hall of the underground palace.
After Jiang Hao swept the main mausoleum, he looked at those people more, Jiang Hao found that these people had withered faces and listlessness, and their faces were all blank, but they had to use all their strength to move huge stone bars under the urging of the foreman.
At this time, the snow was getting heavier and heavier, and the weather was extremely cold, but Jiang Hao saw that many of these people were only wearing single clothes, and some of their arms and trouser legs were ground into strips of cloth and tied with hemp rope, just like a beggar, no, worse than a beggar.
Some people wore torn cloth shoes on their feet, some people wore straw shoes with open toes, and Jiang Hao also saw that some people didn't even have a pair of shoes, just stepping on the snow barefoot.
It is these people, who are not well fed and clothed, but they sit on the work of several times harder than ordinary people, and in the end, a large number of skilled workers who know the secrets of the underground palace were all ordered to be killed by Qin II, so as not to leak the secrets of the underground palace, and it is said that there are tens of thousands of people in this part of the people.
The rest of the people continued to build the outer mausoleum, and when the rebels appeared, in order to survive, these people had to pick up swords and fight the rebels.
"Stop!"
Jiang Hao shouted.
The carriage stopped immediately, Jiang Hao got out of the car, and the supervisor in the car behind him saw that the chief supervisor got out of the car, and immediately rolled down.
Jiang Hao led this group of people to the main hall of the imperial mausoleum, and when the surrounding officials, foremen, and people saw it, they put down their work one after another, bent down and bowed and stood beside them.
"Take me to the entrance of the main hall of the underground palace and see where the broken dragon stone fell." Jiang Hao said.
"Lord Builder, the entrance to the dungeon is here." A superintendent immediately stepped forward to lead the way, walked for about ten minutes, and finally came to the entrance of the underground palace, and saw a complete boulder blocked at the entrance of the underground palace.
The broken dragon stone weighs millions of catties, and it should be lowered when the underground palace is finally closed, but I didn't expect it to fall down now, completely blocking the entrance of the underground palace, no wonder Qin Shi Huang was annoyed, this didn't want him to go in.
Jiang Hao frowned and looked at the Broken Dragon Stone and asked, "Who knows the situation of the Broken Dragon Stone best?" ”
An overseer immediately came over and said, "Ran Le was originally in charge here, but he participated in the murder of the adult, and he has been..." ”
The man didn't go on.
Jiang Hao snorted coldly when he heard this, "Hmph, just with this one, he can't escape the blame and call a knowledgeable craftsman to come over." ”
Compared with officials, Jiang Hao believes in knowledgeable craftsmen.
Not long after, an old man was called, and the old man saluted respectfully to Jiang Hao, "I've seen the big eunuch." ”
Looking at this old man with a gray beard and tattered clothes, Jiang Hao's tone became much warmer, "Let me ask you, why did the Broken Dragon Stone fall." ”
"Back to the big supervisor, the small ones don't know, originally there were wedges fixed at both ends of the broken dragon stone, and only when the wedges were knocked off would they fall, and there was no earth dragon turning over before, so there may be man-made destruction."
Jiang Hao nodded, "How do you think the current situation should be fixed?" ”
The old man hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "For the sake of insurance, the gate of the underground palace and the palace city were built together, and once they fall, it will be difficult to lift again, unless the dragon stone is chiseled and the palace gate is removed and rebuilt." ”
"But in this way, the project will become huge, and the entire vault of the palace will need to be demolished, which is equivalent to rebuilding the upper part, which will take at least two or three years, and the cost will be huge."
Jiang Hao stepped forward, patted the huge broken dragon stone, looked around again, looked up at the top, I have to say that the craftsmanship of these workers is very good, basically tight, the gap between the broken dragon stone and the palace gate is only the size of two or three copper coins, and the tools can't be inserted at all.
And how difficult it is to pry five or six hundred tons of boulders.
"Old man, let me ask you, there is a seal on this stone gate." Jiang Hao pointed to the top of the Broken Dragon Stone.
"Back to my lord, there is no closure." The old man replied.
"Then dig a few holes out of here, and don't break the dragonstone, it should be no problem." Jiang Hao asked, pointing to the stone on the ground.
The old man looked at it, "Go back to my lord, this is not difficult, it only takes a day to knock it out, and it is very simple to replace these stones when I turn around, but my lord, even if there is a gap, there is no such big instrument that can lift the broken dragon stone." ”
If it is placed in the later generations, it is true that you can find a machine that can lift 500 tons of boulders, but now it is the Qin Dynasty, and no one believes that someone can lift the Broken Dragon Stone, it is simply wishful thinking, and it is a dream.
Unless the gods come.
Jiang Hao looked at the old man and ordered: "Okay, this matter will be handed over to you, you are here, here, here and here, dig six holes for me, it doesn't need to be big, it only needs to be able to fit into a hole the size of a rice bowl." ”
"Ah, what are you going to do?" The old man asked curiously.
Jiang Hao said solemnly, "I'm going to lift the Broken Dragon Stone." ”
As soon as Jiang Hao's words came out, everyone around him was stunned.
Several overseers were stunned.
The little officials and craftsmen next to them were also stunned.
Even Han Zhong, Ji Bu, and Lu Xin, who were following Jiang Hao, were the same.
Lifting the Broken Dragon Stone, how is this possible, it is absolutely impossible, these people can't believe that someone can lift the Broken Dragon Stone no matter what they think.
"Alright, do as I say, and report to me as soon as you get it ready." After Jiang Hao finished speaking, he turned around and walked back.
When Jiang Hao left, the officials and craftsmen who stayed here suddenly started to talk.
"Lifting the Broken Dragon Stone, even the most powerful warrior in the world can't do it, this is definitely not human."
"A million catties, this is a million catties of broken dragon stone."
"What if an adult can really lift it up, don't forget, our great eunuch is rumored to be an immortal, and he once saved countless plague people in our Jingchu land?" At first glance, this is from the original Chu State.
Back to the carriage, Jiang Hao didn't go up, but turned to look at a few supervisors who were following behind his buttocks, and said: "Tomorrow I will open the Broken Dragon Stone, and you will set up an altar at the entrance of the underground palace, how to make Lu Xin know, the larger the scale, the better, to show respect for the immortals, tomorrow you will bring all the officials, as well as the more nearby workers, to the gate of the underground palace, and stand three hundred steps away from the entrance of the underground palace." ”
"I will ascend to the altar, ask the gods to come down, lift the broken dragon stone, and let the broken dragon stone return to its place." Jiang Hao said.
Several overseers couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva,
These words,
Truth be told,
They don't believe it.
But this is said by the top boss and the big boss, and it is the big boss who is pinching their little lives, even if you don't believe you, you have to do it well.
"We will obey the order, and we will do it properly." Several overseers bowed down together.
