Compete for the Song Dynasty

When Wang Pang returned to Guanyi, he locked himself in his room and wrote and drew all day long. No one like Xie Libo could understand what Wang Pang was painting?

"Will Wang Shilang talk too much this time? You think he's in trouble?!" Zhang Ping whispered to Xie Libo.

Xie Libo scratched his head, but he heard what Wang Pang said: he wanted to go up to the two huge rocks on Taizi Mountain in Rehe.The two boulders are also impressive: "I think my brother is in trouble this time. Those two boulders are really magical. Do you know that they rise more than ten feet above the ground? There is also a legend about those two boulders." of."

Zhang Ping and others gathered around hearing what Li Bo said, "Tell me!" They urged in low voices, wanting to hear the story but afraid of disturbing the king.At this moment, Wang Pang had almost completed the plan and budget for going up the boulder, and he listened quietly to their whispers.

Xie Libo said in a low voice: "That place used to be a big sea, and this hill is a highland out of the water. There lived a family on the highland, an old couple and a pair of children. The old couple went up the mountain every day to cut firewood for cooking. During the meal, a pair of sons and daughters went fishing in the sea. Although life was hard, it was enjoyable. One day, the pair of sons and daughters went fishing as usual, but this time they did not come back for several days.”[

"Ah! Could it be that he encountered a storm? Or lost his way at sea?" Han Derong asked nervously.

"Well, I don't know." Libo finished his answer and continued: "The old couple are standing on this high place, with one face looking northeast and the other looking southwest. They forgot to eat and sleep. Just standing there and looking in different directions. Over time, the old couple turned into these two huge rocks."

"Oh! What a pity!" Han Derong said with a sigh.

Zhang Ping looked at Han Derong and said with a smile: "Fool, Brother He is telling a story. Have you ever seen a person who is more than ten feet tall?"

"That's true!" Han Derong smiled naively.

Wang Pang raised his head at this moment, and his mind was full of thoughts. Although Xi Libo was telling a story, it was enough to show people's yearning for their loved ones.Wang Pang was touched by the feeling of looking forward to the return of his relatives. He thought of Yuexia who was pregnant in the capital, Wang Anshi who resigned for him;It felt like a blunt knife slowly cutting through the heart.

"Papapa" called the door a few times, and a voice came from outside the door, interrupting Wang Pang's thoughts: "Excuse me, does Wang Shilang from Bianjing live here?"

Wang Bang looked towards the door, and the person he was waiting for had arrived.Hearing the voice, Xie Libo took the lead to open the door and said in a joyful voice: "Brother Jiao, Wu Ling, you are here! This is great!"

Jiao Deyou and Wu Ling strode into the room, and Wang Pang hurriedly greeted them.

"My dear brother, I finally see you!" Thinking of his righteous sister Yue Xia, who is now under house arrest in the deep palace, Jiao Deyou sees Wang Pang mixed with sadness and joy.

Wang Pang was sad and happy, he tried his best to restrain his emotions: "Brother! Alas, it's all my fault for getting Yuexia involved!" Wang Pang said without remorse.

Jiao Deyou patted him on the shoulder: "Brother, don't say that, you can't blame you now, we can only take one step at a time."

Wang Pang hurriedly asked Jiao Deyou to sit down, and Jiao Deyou asked: "Brother asked us to come in such a hurry this time, is there something urgent?"

Wang Pang nodded: "It's not difficult, but the time is tight. We need to build a tower on the two huge rocks on the Taizi Mountain in Rehe within two or three months."

Wang Pang told Jiao Deyou and Wu Ling about building a pagoda on the boulder as a bet and borrowing troops from Yelu Hongji. After speaking, he stood up and walked to the desk, and spread out pieces of straw paper on the table.On it are the plans for the upper boulder that Wang Pang drew for the upper tower these days, and there are also some formulas to calculate the number of materials used.

Jiao Deyou also understood, he knew architecture himself, and after seeing Wang Pang's idea, he secretly admired it.Wu Ling even understood immediately at a glance that his master was the general manager of the construction of the Xixia Xingqing Mansion.

The two nodded while watching, Zhang Ping poked Wu Ling: "Do you understand? Tell us, what is Wang Shilang drawing?"

Jiao Deyou said: "Brother, is this the material used to transport and build the tower?"

"How is this luck? It's all set up?" Zhang Ping still didn't understand, he muttered. [

Wu Ling said: "Have you ever seen a mountain shed? This is to build a mountain shed on four sides, with wooden ladders inside, and go up in a circle!"

Seeing that Jiao Deyou and Wu Ling understood, Wang Pang was happy, and it seemed that it was right to call them two in a hurry: "Yes! That's what it means, but the mountain shed is made of bamboo. It can't bear heavy objects, so we use steel bars to build them, and Wu Ling has to supervise the forging of steel bars as soon as possible."

Wang Pang said: "Wu Ling, it's up to you whether these materials can be made."

Wu Ling looked at the drawings and asked: "These are not difficult to make, but we don't have a blacksmith shop in Liao Kingdom to make them, and even a blacksmith shop can't make so many." He looked at and pointed to the numbers on it.

This is not what Wang Pang was worried about. He said to Wu Ling: "Officials from the Liao Kingdom will cooperate with our organization, and all blacksmith shops in the Liao Kingdom will be ordered to prepare for us. Now I am more worried about this." Wang Pang As he said, he pointed to a picture of a fastener, which is the fastener that fixes all the connected steel bars. What I'm most worried about is that you can't make this thing. "

Wu Ling took it out, looked at it carefully, and tilted the paper again, then turned the straw paper up and down to look and look: "Yes! My son, the fastener you mentioned is not just the steel bar. Something locked together one by one?"

Listening to what he said, Wang immediately understood what Wu Ling meant: "Yes! It is to be locked together."

Wu Ling nodded: "This is easy to handle, let's use steel locks and steel bolts to fix these things!"

"Okay! We must find a way to fix it tightly! The length and thickness of the steel bars must be in accordance with the size of my top." Wang Pang reminded again carefully.

"Don't worry, I'm sure about this!" Wu Ling said, patting his chest.

Wang Pang looked at the impeachment bowl and said, "Brother He, what you need to do is to supervise the boards. You need a board of the same size, two feet long, three feet wide, and half a foot thick. Both ends of the board should be wrapped with wire to prevent Blossom at the end!"

"Zhe Kejun, Zhang Ping, you should urge the wood and bricks for the tower; Han Derong, you follow Brother Jiao, he has the most things, and you have to listen to his arrangements at any time."

"Yes!" The three replied at the same time.

Wang Pang looked at Jiao Deyou. In terms of experience and age, Jiao Deyou was the tallest among them: "Brother Jiao, this time we can only succeed and not fail. I will leave this task of supervision to you. Set up this shelf between the huge rocks, look at the number written on it, and every step must be done according to the number." He said and handed Jiao Deyou a piece of paper.

Jiao Deyou took it over and saw that it was more carefully written on this paper, including: the horizontal distance between the vertical poles of the shelf and the vertical poles; the vertical distance between the horizontal poles of the shelf and the horizontal poles; vertical distance between them.

There are several requirements below, such as: the connection between steel bars and steel bars, including vertical bar butt and cross bar butt.When the poles are docked, the butt joint points of all poles cannot be at the same elevation point, and must be cross-jointed at intervals, and the height distance between the joints of the left and right poles should not be less than one foot.The same goes for crossbar butt joints.

Not only did Wang Pang write down the details of the requirements, but even the connection process has been written, from positioning the poles on a solid foundation, to placing the sweeping poles, installing the first large horizontal poles and fastening them to the poles, and even From the addition of shear braces to the laying and walking, everything is written.

"Good! Good!" Jiao Deyou said in admiration, "With my brother's idea, I think it will be easy to reach the sky, let alone a boulder more than ten feet high!" He was so excited that he didn't know what to say.

Everyone couldn't hold back when they heard it. If such a brilliant idea is completed, it will be worth it even if they don't beat Japanese slaves! "When will we do it!" Zhang Pingping asked impatiently.

Wang Pang smiled. He had already calculated that the time required to prepare all the materials and build the shelf is one hour per square meter, and let the workers do it around the clock. The shelf can be built in about 20 to [-] days.Then build a simple tower with the fastest speed, and his task is completed.

"We'll do it when Xin Zan arrives in Zhongjing!"

Wang Pang also knew that time was too tight for this matter, and he was thinking that ordinary people dare not think about it, and he dare not do it as ordinary people.But he knows one thing: people, if you don't push yourself, you will never know how good you are! [

The few people around him do not trust and worship Wang Pang. They believe that Wang Pang has this ability, but it is not ruled out that some people do not believe it, such as Xin Zan.

Xin Zan hastily rushed to Zhongjing after receiving the urgent order from Emperor Yelu Hongji, and was then mysteriously summoned into Oruduo by Yelu Hongji.

After Yelu Hongji dismissed everyone in the tent, he said to Xin Zan: "This king has something important to do, and I have arranged for you to do it! You must do your best to help the king."

Seeing Yelu Hongji being so mysterious, Xin Zan asked nervously, "Your Majesty, what should I do, just tell me!"

Yelu Hongji said in a low voice: "You want to help the king build a pagoda on those two huge rocks on Mount Taizi!"

Xin Zan almost jumped up: "What? Your Majesty, this is impossible, even if you kill Wei Chen, Wei Chen can't do it!"

Seeing Xin Zan's staring eyes in surprise, Yelu Hongji smiled and said, "Xin Lingya, don't be afraid, I don't blame you if you can't do it, the most is that you don't lend troops to the king."

Xin Zan felt a little relieved when he heard Yelu Hongji say this, but he still asked in puzzlement: "This is really a humble minister who dare not even think about it. I don't know how much time His Majesty gave him?"

Yelu Hongji said: "He said two or three months, as long as it can be made, I can wait two or three years! Just do your best, and you will give him whatever he wants!"

When Xin Zan came out with the edict, the more he thought about it, the more confused he became. He had no choice but to go to Wang Pang and go to Taizi Mountain in Rehe together to complete this seemingly impossible imperial order.
