Chapter 149
"My lord, me! This..."

Liu Yunzhou almost knelt on the ground after hearing Lord Shangshu's words. Is there anyone who plays with people like this?Why should I bet with this guy?What right do you have to let me jump into the pit.

Forget it, it seems that Master Shangshu really has this right.

With a serious face, Zhu Changyuan stared at Yu Guang who was leveling the high platform, with a sarcasm smile on the corner of his mouth, then turned his head to look at Liu Yunzhou, and said without anger, "Oh, if Mr. Liu stays You won't be lonely at the construction site, I have brought clothes and bedding, and I plan to stay here for a few days, just to accompany the adults to relieve boredom."

Which pot does not open which pot.

Liu Yunzhou's face was flushed, swollen as if someone had slapped him twice, the expression on his face was as ugly as possible, he looked innocently at Master Shangshu Liu Zunxian, wanting him to change his mind.

But Liu Zunxian ignored him at all. Compared with the current construction period, sacrificing the face of an indifferent subordinate is simply a trivial matter.

Liu Yunzhou was helpless, and turned his eyes for help to his cousin, Liu Zongzhou, a great scholar of a generation.

Liu Zongzhou laughed bitterly, unable to help, looked at Zhu Changyuan, and said in a soliciting tone: "Master Zhu, can you be accommodating?"

Zhu Changyuan hurriedly bowed to Liu Zongzhou, and said: "Your Excellency, you don't dare to call me Chang Yuan. You can call me Chang Yuan, but Master Zhu is a disgraceful official." He rolled his eyes a few times, and said with a smile: " Since it is Lord Shi Lang who said so, the lower officials dare not force it. Well, we are all colleagues. It is really insulting to apologize on kneeling. If I can level the foundation of this tower within a day, Lord Liu only needs to apologize , and then pay me a thousand taels of silver."

"Pfft!" Before Liu Yunzhou opened his mouth, Liu Zongzhou was startled by Zhu Changyuan's words, damn, it costs 1000 taels of silver, you grew up eating salt, right?

Liu Zunxian snorted twice, and said: "Yun Zhou has been an official for less than ten years, where is there a thousand taels of silver for you to gamble with, you kid, don't push yourself." After a pause, he said calmly: "How about it, you two I also know that during the holidays, Yunzhou dog looked down on people before, so don't worry about it, if you can level the foundation of this tower within one day, oh no, within three days, I will be here I will earn a share of credit with you."

Zhu Changyuan shook his head quickly when he heard this, earning a share of the credit, don't be kidding, I can't hide in time.In case the dog emperor sees me unhappy, he will come down with a click, of course, death is unlikely, but I will definitely pull the flag to rebel.

"Your Excellency is serious. Since Lord Shang Shu said it, and the next official is ordered to do it, I don't know if Lord Liu dares to bet with me?" While speaking, he squinted at Liu Yunzhou.

Liu Yunzhou's face turned from red to gray, secretly thinking that his reputation in this life was lost, he couldn't help but sighed, sat down on a stone beside him, and said, "It's up to you!"

The simple three words reveal how much helplessness and how much powerlessness to fight.

Zhu Changyuan didn't care about him, he glanced at Liu Zunxian, and said, "My lord, my method is actually very simple, but it requires a little manpower. Please approve it."

Liu Zunxian smiled, pointed at the people at the foot of the mountain and those materials, and said: "These people and these materials, you can use them as you like."

"Okay!" Zhu Changyuan was not polite, and shouted at Yu Guang: "Yu Guang, come here!"

Yu Guang, who was measuring the level, was startled when he heard Zhu Changyuan calling him. He threw the leveling pole in his hand on the ground, ran over with a nod and bowed his head, and asked, "What is your order?"

Zhu Changyuan said: "Go and find me ten carpenters and a hundred strong men."

"Yes!" Yu Guang quickly ran away.

After a while, twenty carpenters were brought over.

It's really cool for Yu Guang to do things, damn, this flattery is really comfortable.

Zhu Changyuan chuckled, and said, "Tear off all those leveling rods on it, what the hell!"

I was taken aback from the corner of the eye, although there was a sense of fear from the bottom of my heart, I didn't act rashly at the moment, but looked at the minister Liu Zunxian next to me with small eyes.

Liu Zunxian also wanted to see what tricks Zhu Changyuan could play, nodded and said, "Listen to him, go."

Yu Guang led several people to clean up all the leveling rods on the base of the tower.

"Master Zhu, what do you want?" Xue Lianqian saw that Zhu Changyuan had withdrawn all the leveling rods in one go, feeling uncertain, and wanted to remind him kindly, but Zhu Changyuan said: "Master Xue, don't worry, I am free and wonderful. "

"Wonderful method?" Liu Zongzhou, as a great Confucian of the generation, was the first time to see someone use something other than a leveling rod to level things. He was a little curious and said with some approval: "Chang Yuan, if there is really a good way to level things up, it is the way of civil engineering. A feat, it’s amazing, it’s exciting.”

Zhu Changyuan clasped his hands and said, "Your Excellency, I'm just too small!"

After speaking, he came to those carpenters and asked, "Are they all carpenters?"

No one responded to the twenty or so carpenters below, which really embarrassed Zhu Changyuan for a while. Fortunately, he was already thick-skinned. Well done, I will treat everyone to eat meat at noon today."

"hey-hey."

The honest and honest carpenters all laughed when they heard about eating meat, and some even licked their lips.

In the feudal society of the Ming Dynasty, eating meat was really a luxury for ordinary people, even at the feet of the emperor and dignified people in the capital.

"Okay!" Zhu Changyuan said when the atmosphere became more lively, "Now listen to my orders, everyone, cooperate in groups of five, and start making wooden troughs."

Zhu Changyuan told the workers how to make the wooden trough, fearing that some of them would not understand, he drew it on the ground several times until everyone understood it, then he stood up with satisfaction and said, "Go, it's like this .”

Liu Zunxian walked towards a big rock with a smile, and a servant beside him came over with a parasol, and a special servant brought sour plum soup to quench his thirst.

Liu Zunxian drank a few sips, and still looked at Zhu Changyuan writing and drawing on the ground with a smile. But also know how to build a little bit.

He wanted to know what method Zhu Changyuan wanted to use to level the foundation.

In addition to Liu Zunxian, Liu Zongzhou, Xue Lianqian, Li Ji, Xia Congliang and even Liu Yunzhou, who was oppressed by Zhu Changyuan who was almost out of breath, all wanted to see what happened.

Man is such a strange animal, the more mysterious something is, the more curiosity it can arouse.

Zhu Changyuan looked at the eyes of the others, relaxed and without the slightest psychological pressure.Because he knew that although this method of leveling was relatively advanced in this parallel world, it was still a piece of cake in his own society, even in the Ming Dynasty on his own earth.

Under his leadership, twenty carpenters were divided into four groups, each group had five people, each of them picked up hammers, nails, and saws on the spot and started working.

It was a busy scene.

Liu Yunzhou opened his eyes wide and never left the scene. He just wanted to see what method Zhu Changyuan used to level the ground.

To tell the truth, when Zhu Changyuan asked Yu Guang to put away all the leveling rods, Liu Yunzhou even had a sense of luck in his heart, and secretly said: Without the leveling rod, you also want to level, hmph, what a dream come true.

As his astonishment gradually turned into ridicule and contempt, the twenty workers on the scene quickly made models of four slots.

This kind of wooden trough is made by combining three boards, and it is very simple to make.Just to ensure balance, a square log needs to be placed every one or two meters to prop up the sides of the sink on both sides to ensure the stability of the shape of the sink.

"Hey! Isn't this a trough for feeding chickens?" Although Liu Zongzhou, a great scholar of a generation, is not well-informed, he has seen this most common thing. Zhu Changyuan ordered those workers to make it. It's the same thing as a chicken trough, if not a little longer.

Workers continue to select various suitable wooden boards from the side, and then lengthen the trough, from one or two feet to more than ten feet, without stopping.

The more Liu Zunxian looked at it, the more confused he became, but the more interesting he became, the more surprised he felt.Based on his more than 60 years of life experience, it can be easily judged that Zhu Changyuan is not messing around, but has really mastered some leveling skills.

This is a kind of intuition, and one can make a judgment by looking at Zhu Changyuan's movements and expressions.

It's just that Liu Yunzhou, who was also sitting on the stone beside him, had a more and more mocking expression on his face: Hehe, isn't this a trough for feeding chickens and geese? This thing can also be leveled, what a joke.

Zhu Changyuan took off his heavy official uniform, put on only ancient plain clothes, and started working with the workers.With him personally giving pointers, the speed of lengthening the trough was much faster.

In half an hour, four troughs with the same length and width as the base of the tower were completed, and the two ends were blocked to form a large chicken feeding trough.

"Okay!" Zhu Changyuan wiped his sweat and said: "The critical moment has come, you, you, you, and you, alas, go all, bring some lime from over there, you need a good lime paste .”

More than 20 people, each brought a large piece to Zhu Changyuan.

Zhu Changyuan said: "Just use these lime pastes to plug up all the gaps in this sink, and fill them up inside and out. No gaps are allowed. I want to hold water."

The carpenter's skills are very good. The gap left when making the sink was originally small. Now, a layer of lime plaster is applied on the inside and outside, so naturally it will not leak too much.

Zhu Changyuan looked at his outstanding work contentedly, showing a satisfied smile.

The next water filling is the key to the entire leveling operation, success or failure depends on it.

"Go, bring water here!"

Following Zhu Changyuan's order, more than 100 wrestlers who had just been organized by Yu Guang immediately ran to a nearby stream and fetched buckets of mountain spring water.

At the moment when the water was transported to the site, Liu Zunxian's eyelids suddenly jumped. He seemed to have thought of the key to the leveling work, but for a while, he was a little confused.

 I haven't seen the sun for a month. For a steelworker, this means that there is no work, and that means. . .Well, you get the idea, go subscribe. . .
