Sui and Tang Dynasties: Killing Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty to sacrifice to heaven at the beginni

Chapter 38
Daxing City, Tiance General's Mansion.

"Drive, drive, drive."

Huangmen Shilang, Yang Guang's close minister, the chief steward of the inner courtyard of the palace, rode a fast horse and followed the guards to stop in front of the general's mansion.

Such a big battle is actually just to send a pot of soup to Li Mu.

"Master Zhang, there's nothing urgent about it." In the lobby, Li Mu looked at Zhang Heng and said.

"The Queen cooked a pot of soup for Her Majesty, and His Majesty thought it was even delicious, so she ordered me to cook another pot and ordered me to give it to the General."

"Empress, you even specially wrote out the prescription and gave it to the general." After Zhang Heng finished speaking, he handed the food box to Li Mu.

Li Mu opened the food box and found that the soup was still hot.

While drinking the soup, Li Mu thought to himself that his sister-in-law is really nice, she really is a "kind sister-in-law."

The news that Yang Guang ordered Zhang Heng to deliver soup to Li Mu in the middle of the night quickly spread throughout Daxing City, which made all the civil and military officials envious for a while.Yang Guang's delivery of soup in the middle of the night meant more than rewarding Li Mu with gold, silver and jewels.

What does it mean to send soup? It means that the emperor always thinks of Li Mu when he is drinking soup, and the first thing he wants to share with Li Mu is the first time he has something good.This kind of favor can be said to be unique.

In Daxing City, the inner courtyard of the imperial palace, the lights in the imperial study room were on for most of the night, and Yang Guang waited until the painters finished copying all the drawings before returning to the dormitory to rest.

In the early morning of the next day, just after dawn, the servant of Huangmen brought the two of them to General Tiance's mansion.

"General, this is Minister of Industry Yu Wenkai, Lord Yuwen." Zhang Heng pointed to the slightly older of the two and introduced.

Then Zhang Heng pointed to the younger one of the two and said, "This is the master craftsman of the Shaofu, Mr. Liu Long and Liu."

The Ministry of Industry is responsible for the construction of the whole world, while the Shaofu is responsible for the construction of the royal family. In order to build this ox cart, it can be said that all the craftsmen of the Sui Dynasty were mobilized.

Although Liu Long is not as famous as Yu Wenkai, he is also a highly skilled craftsman. According to historical records, Liu Long was Yu Wenkai's deputy when Yang Guangying built Luoyang, the eastern capital.

"Lord Yuwen, Lord Liu, Your Majesty has an order. From today onwards, the two of you must fully cooperate with the general and strive to build this chariot as soon as possible." Zhang Heng said from the side.

After all, Li Mu is still young, and Yu Wenkai is an old minister. Zhang Heng was afraid that Yu Wenkai would have any emotions, so he took a vaccination first.

"General, I wonder if the two of us can take a look at the blueprint first. To tell you the truth, His Majesty just ordered us to cooperate with the general to make a chariot, but we are still at a loss as to what kind of chariot this is. Water." Yu Wenkai said.

"It's natural, two adults, let's go into the room first, let's talk about it in detail." After Li Mu finished speaking, he brought the two of them into the study.

Both Yu Wenkai and Liu Long are Yang Guang's confidantes, so there is nothing wrong with letting them see the drawings.Moreover, these two people are technicians who manufacture the bullock carts, so they must first study and understand the blueprints before they can start.

The knowledge of craftsman skills was called the learning of things in ancient times, and of course more people called it strange and obscene skills.In this world, Confucianism is the mainstream, and few people are willing to learn the study of Gewu.At this time, Yu Wenkai and Liu Long happened to be among them.

Li Mu led the two into the study, took out the blueprint and handed it to the two.Yu Wenkai and Liu Long took a closer look and realized that this picture is not simple.

As the saying goes, once an expert makes a move, he will know if there is one.If the blueprints were read by ordinary people, they would not be able to see anything, but Liu Long and Yu Wenkai were different. They have been addicted to this for many years, and they can see the unusualness of the blueprints at a glance.

The more the two of them looked at each other, the more serious their expressions became. From time to time, there was a meaningful smile on their faces, and occasionally they looked worried.All in all, the changes in the facial expressions of these two people at this moment are like changing the faces of Sichuan opera.

Yu Wenkai and Liu Long observed the blueprint inch by inch, scrutinizing each part carefully, and they actually saw the blueprint from morning to noon.

Although the two watched very slowly, Li Mu and Zhang Heng did not disturb them, but waited patiently.

"Hahaha!"

"Hahaha!" When the sun was high, the two finally finished watching, and they laughed heartily together.

When Li Mu heard that the two were laughing so happily, he thought to himself, presumably the two had already understood it and thought it was not too difficult, so they laughed so happily.

"Two adults, do you understand?"

"When will we start making?" Li Mu asked.

When Li Mu asked this question, the smiles on the faces of Yu Wenkai and Liu Long also subsided a lot.After a while, Yu Wenkai said seriously: "General Tiance, to tell you the truth, it is still not possible to start manufacturing right now."

"Why?" Li Mu asked.

"I can't make it." Yu Wenkai said solemnly.

Li Mu: "???"

Li Mu thought in his heart, "I won't make you laugh so fucking badly, I think you two have something wrong with your brain."

"Since the two adults didn't understand, why are you laughing?" Li Mu asked.

"Hey, I, Yu Wenkai, can actually see such a wonderful thing in my life, how can I not laugh."

"As the saying goes, it's okay to die at night after hearing about Taoism. In this life, if you can witness such a miraculous mechanism, it is worth dying." Yu Wenkai sighed.

After Yu Wenkai sighed, he said to Li Mu: "Actually, I don't want to hide the truth from the general. I have moved about [-]% to [-]% of the things on this picture. But what I didn't understand was the two most important things. Thirty percent."

"For example, the mechanism that injects tung oil to ignite the fire, the mechanism that provides power, and the mechanism that turns the direction. These things are really beyond the scope of my ability. If I want to make this ox cart, I still need to find a craftsman. People who are stronger than me in the way." Yu Wenkai said frankly.

After Yu Wenkai finished speaking, Li Mu looked at Liu Long.

When Li Mu looked at Liu Long, Liu Long bowed his head quickly, and then said to Li Mu: "My ability is far inferior to that of Brother Yuwen, and I naturally don't understand even Brother Yuwen. I only understand [-]% or [-]% of it."

Judging from the expressions of the two, Li Mu could naturally see that the two did not seem to be evading.In other words, the most critical part, the two of them don't understand.If you want to build a bullock cart, you need to hire a real master.

All of a sudden, the memories of his previous life flooded in like a tide, and Li Mu remembered the bridge, a bridge that stood upright from the Sui Dynasty until the 21st and was still intact.And the designer of this bridge was from the Great Sui Dynasty.

That's right, it is Li Chun, the designer of Zhaozhou Bridge.Li Chun can definitely be called a master for designing a building like Zhaozhou Bridge that has gone through ups and downs for thousands of years.
