If he hadn't been overwhelmed by that kid Yuan Shao all the time, which strongly caused him to want to surpass Yuan Shao in any place, Yuan Shu would never have taken pride in coming to Zhang Yan.
I thought Zhang Yan would definitely reject him this time, but I didn't expect that not only did he not remember his grudge, but he also generously expressed that not only this time, but also the next time, Yuan Shu happily showed off in front of Yuan Shao .
Such behavior immediately made Yuan Shu feel a little ashamed.
If you say that Yuan Shu is a person who likes to make friends with heroes and make friends with heroes, and he has experienced such things, the more he looks at Zhang Yan, the more pleasing he is.This person is not like those servants who are stalking him, but he also gives him Yuan Shu face when he needs it.
It would be a pity not to make friends.
I want to make friends, but I feel a little lost.
Especially thinking of the way Yuan Shao looked at Zhang Yan, Yuan Shu felt that if he made friends with Zhang Yan, then Yuan Shao would definitely look down on him again, he hesitated to speak, and then he stopped talking, and the relationship between the two ended up at the same level.
To be honest, among the four sons of Luoyang, Cao Cao and Zhang Yan, who were also born as rich eunuchs, had the most fun.
After all, they are all the same kind of people, the eldest brother does not laugh at the second brother.
……
In the restaurant, a servant packed a few food boxes and hurried to the palace with Zhang Yan's token.On the other side, Zhang Yan looked at Cao Cao who was full of food and drink, and tried to invite him.
He was fine in the afternoon and was planning to go to the construction site in the north of the city.After all, his system is called "Spectacle Design System", not "Luoyang Dude System", and occasionally he has to do something serious.
"Brother Meng De, do you have something to do this afternoon? If it's okay, my younger brother recently bought a new piece of land in the north of the city, and plans to build a larger sundial for the people of Luoyang to time the time. If there is nothing wrong, why don't you go and have a look with my younger brother?" ?”
Hearing Zhang Yan's words, Cao Cao knew that his virtuous brother who was fine in everything probably fell ill again.It's just that there was nothing wrong in the afternoon, and some of the things Zhang Yan was tinkering with were quite interesting, so he immediately agreed.
"Alright, let's take a break and go together."
……
If Zhang Yan knew that Cao Cao felt that he was suffering from illness at this time, he would probably yell at him.
It's not that he has a mental problem or that he has to spend too much money to toss about these things. It's just that since he got the system, he has been trying to build a spectacle in Luoyang City.
But I don't want to, because Zhang Yan's construction workers are all peasants drawn from the people at the bottom. Before that, the most they could do was build a house and a toilet, and there were not many people who could even understand the blueprints.At the beginning, Zhang Yan was a little too ambitious, and the wonders he chose were blue buildings with rare levels, or buildings that were "miracles of civilization" with certain special requirements even though they were white.
The low-level construction team encountered high-level construction requirements, which caused Zhang Yan to toss for three consecutive months. The buildings that could be repaired were either too small or too rough.In the past three months, a qualified spectacle has not been built, and there are a lot of "task failures" in the mission record.
The work that is closest to success is the restaurant recorded as "Dafei Building" in the system where the two of them are dining at the moment, which is probably a simplified version of King Zhou's Zhaixing Building.Zhang Yan built it according to the drawings exchanged by the system, and the system evaluation only gave 53 points.
[Miracle of Civilization: Dafei Building (Failure)]
【Rank: Ordinary】
[Score: 53 points (failed)]
【Building Function: Catering】
[Building effect: the happiness of diners is slightly improved (not effective)]
[Comment: The simplified version of the Zhaixing Building loses the function of singing and dancing gatherings, and only retains the catering part]
After this failure, Zhang Yan resolutely stopped the useless attempts, and planned to let the system directly select the wonders with the lowest construction difficulty at present, intending to use them for practice.
After all, after trying for three consecutive months but failing for three months, even the mentally strong will lose confidence.
"Let's start from scratch honestly..."
Zhang Yan turned off the information panel of the Dafei Building, and looked at another latest task that appeared only yesterday—it was the wonder building that was repeatedly selected by the system, and according to calculations, currently the least difficult to construct.
[Task: Build a giant equatorial sundial]
[Task requirements: Build a giant equatorial sundial with a diameter of more than 8 meters in Luoyang City, and metal materials and organic materials cannot be used for construction. 】
[Task Reward: Random Ordinary Wonder Blueprint*1, 3000 Fame Points]
Look, you can't use wood or metal. To put it bluntly, you can only use stone or jade materials.The diameter of the sundial body needs to exceed 8 meters, which can be said to be 2000 years ahead of schedule to the Elizabeth Tower next door.
Building Big Ben in stone 2000 years ahead of schedule is the simplest of wonders.The system really belongs to you...
Shaking his head slightly, Zhang Yan conveniently spent 1500 reputation to buy a design drawing of a giant equatorial sundial from the system.Since he already has a certain reputation in Luoyang City (bad reputation is also reputation), Zhang Yan's reputation value has also accumulated some.It's just that he exchanged a lot of strange low-level wonder blueprints before, which caused his reputation to not exceed ten thousand.
Pretending to put his hand into his bosom, Zhang Yan, who was actually exchanging with the system, took out a thick stack of drawings and materials, and at the same time, with the other hand, he picked up Cao Cao, who had eaten too much lunch and was lying on the chair, moaning, He got up and walked towards the door.
Chapter 8 A building ten times higher than the city wall
【Name: Zhang Yan】
【Age: 26】
【Native place: Yingchuan】
【Force: 45】
【Fame value: 3781】
On the way out of the city, Zhang Yan casually opened the system interface and took a look.
His current reputation point has reached more than 3000 points, even after exchanging the sundial design and construction drawings, it is still enough to buy two more ordinary-level wonder drawings.
As for the force value, since every 100 points of reputation in the system can be exchanged for a point of force, Zhang Yan naturally expended the reputation point immediately to improve in order to make up for his own 12 points of force value.
It's just that for some reason, after the power value is exchanged to 45, the system can no longer support the exchange of force.After inquiring about the system, Zhang Yan realized that his current situation is like the protagonists in martial arts novels who have encountered a bottleneck, and must break through to continue to improve their strength.
In fact, it can also be understood that the improvement of force is not simply the improvement of strength and speed, but the fighting consciousness and even willpower play a very important role in it.
Junyang: ii zero ㈥ ba wu 6 ろ
"When you have a chance, go ask Jian Shuo and the others..."
Thinking of the other ten servants, Zhang Yan couldn't help feeling warm in his heart.
Not to mention Zhang Rang who unconditionally supported him, Zhao Zhong and Jian Shuo also took good care of his sudden extra nephew.
Not to mention the cold and warm in daily life, as far as Zhang Yan's 12-point force value is concerned, Jian Shuo has offered to help him train his physique several times, but firstly Zhang Yan did not agree, and secondly, in Jian Shuo's eyes, Zhang Yan's nutrition is gradually increasing. After keeping up, his body became stronger day by day, much better than when he was adopted as an adopted son, so he didn't insist on it anymore.
Riding the horse and whipping the whip, Zhang Yan and Cao Cao came to a courtyard in the north of Luoyang City within a few moments.
This place originally belonged to a wealthy businessman in Jiangdong. Since it was located on the central axis in the north of Luoyang City, Zhang Yan was delighted to see it, so he paid for it and bought it directly.
The courtyard and the surrounding open space are about 15 acres in size, square and square, and a large house with three entrances and three exits was built before.At this moment, Zhang Yan rode his horse and came, only to see that the courtyard had been flattened by the construction team he paid for, and the bricks, tiles and rubble had already been transported out, leaving only hundreds of people waiting for his arrival near the open space.
"Yo, our peacock master is here!"
"I've seen Mr. Zhang!"
As Zhang Yan dismounted, there were bursts of greetings from the crowd.
Most of these people are artisans and farmers in Luoyang City, and they are already very familiar with Zhang Yan.The leader is about forty years old, with dark skin and strong muscles.At this time, the winter chill had not completely faded away, so he changed into a thin coat, which was not affected by the cold wind at all.
"Hehe, everyone has been waiting for a long time!"
Zhang Yan greeted with a smile, while Cao Cao behind him looked thoughtfully at Zhang Yan in front.
It's not been a day or two since he and Zhang Yan wandered around together. Every time he met these ordinary people at the bottom of society, someone always took the initiative to say hello to Zhang Yan, and Zhang Yan could also get along well with this group of people.
Relatively speaking, no matter whether it is me or the Yuan family, although not even a blade of grass grows, it is still a mess.Even though the nobles of the gentry are courteous to him, the eyes of the people looking at him are extremely vigilant and repulsive.
Thinking of the ignorance back then, when he and Yuan Shao robbed someone's bride because of a momentary fascination, Cao Cao felt a little regretful.
Although the existence of these ordinary people was not much different from the rubble to him, looking at a group of people surrounding Zhang Yan, Cao Cao always felt that there might be some unknown power hidden in their bodies.
……
Smilingly, he handed the blueprint in his hand to the leading middle-aged man. Zhang Yan ordered the other party to construct directly according to the blueprint. If there was no important matter, he did not need to report to himself. He only needed to report the progress of the work every ten days.I'm not afraid that the other party will steal the blueprint or reproduce the blueprint for profit.
The person on the opposite side was met when he was wandering outside Luoyang City. He was extremely loyal and grateful.
I thought that because his daughter was seriously ill, he went hunting in the mountains during the slack season, hoping to get furs and other money for medical treatment.But after going there three times in a row, not only did they not meet the prey, but they woke up the hibernating brown bear.
If he hadn't happened to meet Zhang Yan who was wandering around with a group of evil servants that day, he might have lost his life there.
Afterwards, Zhang Yan saw that his character was honest and his daughter was lively and cute, so he not only spent money to heal the man's trauma, but also asked a doctor to cure his daughter's illness. From then on, the man was grateful to Zhang Yan.
After hearing that Zhang Yan often gathered a group of people to repair bridges and open roads, he volunteered to be the foreman of the construction team relying on his ability to read pictures and characters.
"This time, I plan to build a slightly larger sundial in the north of the city. The main body is about three feet long, and the lower part is a regular quadrilateral base. It must be at least thirty feet high and fifty feet wide. After repairing, Let people in the whole Luoyang city see the sundial and know the time when they look up."
"The specific parameters are all here, you can take a look."
As soon as Zhang Yan finished speaking, before the man on the opposite side spoke, there were exclamations from the hundreds of people behind him, and Cao Cao seemed to be in a daze as if he didn't hear clearly.
A sundial the size of three feet?
Thirty feet high abutment?
"It's probably ten times higher than the city wall of Luoyang!" The foreman couldn't help sighing, and then he was extremely impressed by Zhang Yan's generosity.
"Well, almost ten times." Zhang Yan nodded, and then said, "Although the things this time are tall, they are different from the previous pavilions and buildings. It is not difficult to build. Just lay a solid foundation and stack them bit by bit. That's it."
"I'm not in a hurry this time. I can give you three months to half a year. You can build up slowly. If you don't have enough people, just recruit people."
"We don't have many other things in the Han Dynasty, and we still have enough people."
Nonsense, of course there is no difficulty... This building is almost a hill built with enough soil, and then a layer of thick stone brick steps is laminated on the outside of the hill.
It's not the kind of hollow building like the Egyptian pyramids. In terms of difficulty, the system didn't deceive him at all. It can be said that there is no difficulty at all.
Perhaps the only difficulty lies in the huge amount of work...
He also emphatically instructed that the internal soil should be tamped to prevent landslides during construction, and at the same time, he explained the materials of each structure, and that solid granite should be used instead of broken brown rock. Zhang Yan no longer cared about this matter. .After all, in his opinion, repairing wonders is similar to playing games, except that it may take a long time and cost a lot, but once it starts, he, the initiator, will definitely not be able to participate.
After all, he was just a designer in his previous life, not an architect.
……
On the way back, Cao Cao couldn't help asking Zhang Yan: "Is this the 'bigger' sundial you mentioned?"
"Spending so much money to do this kind of thing, even if Zhang Changshi doesn't ask, but apart from a little reputation, it won't bring you the slightest benefit? Why do you need to do such a thankless thing?"
This is not the first time Cao Cao asked Zhang Yan this question.
Chapter 9 Zhang Rang who came to urge the marriage
"It's thankless? It's true..."
Pulling the reins, Zhang Yan slowed down the speed of the steed under his crotch.Maybe it's because Yuan Shao, who doesn't care about anything, isn't here today, or maybe it's simply because he's free today, but Zhang Yan doesn't mind having a few more words with Cao Cao.
"What's the use of me repairing such a thing? Probably the people in the entire Luoyang city can see the current time when they look up, instead of using the sun to tell the time."
After thinking for a while, Zhang Yan said in a deep voice.He knew the meaning of Cao Cao's words, and Cao Cao also knew that Zhang Yan knew what he wanted to say, so he didn't interrupt.
"Judging from the money and time I spent, I must have lost money. After all, if you simply want the people to know the time, you only need to hire a few people to broadcast the scale of the sundial in the palace continuously in the city. If it doesn’t work, we can build regular-sized sundials in every street and alley in Luoyang City. In this case, I may not be able to use up the money for building giant sundials in my lifetime..."
