Ge Gen was the one who took Ji Mo to see the canal, and it was a coincidence. Just when Master Ji was talking about the canal with Ji Mo, Ge Gen came. The models that Mo made for Master Ji, he also made similar ones and sold them. Gradually, he also set up a small shop. He was not considered a wealthy man, but he was considered very promising among the craftsman disciples. the one.

Knowing that Ji Mo was going to see the canal, he took the initiative to take over the job of accompanying him: "Senior brother will take you there! I have visited that place before, and you will know it once you go to see it. The atmosphere is rare. !"

Ge Gengen has a certain level of interpersonal relationship. After years of training, his ability to speak has also improved. However, the people he deals with are still uneducated people. When he wants to praise him, he will inevitably be short of words. , said upside down.

He hasn't stopped paying filial piety to Master Ji all these years, even though he knows that he is plotting to make a model of Ji Mo, but compared to other seniors who have rarely heard from him after graduation, he is more humane.

Master Ji was old and soft-hearted, so he told Ji Mo the reason behind it. Seeing that Ji Mo didn't care about the imitation of the model, he promised to compensate Ji Mo in the future. A little bit of care, the same is to pass on the mantle, but the feeling of being more attentive is still different.

In just 15 years, Ji Mo can learn to be able to build a bridge by himself. It is one aspect of Ji Mo's hard work, and another aspect of Ji Mo's hard work in teaching opportunities.

"Then trouble brother."

Seeing that Master Ji didn't object, Ji Mo readily agreed. He didn't have any grudges against Ge Gen. Maybe it's because there are many things with similar shapes in modern times, and he doesn't think it's plagiarism. It is more tolerant.

Ge Gen was probably embarrassed. In front of Master Ji, he had never talked about this matter with Ji Mo. When he went out this time, he told Ji Mo in private. Maybe it was because he was old enough to fool him like a child. Make things clear.

"If you don't build bridges in the future, just make models with me and sell them. This is really easy to sell..." Ge Gen said that he has a lot of business experience, and some complaints about his peers. This unique business is easy to do at the beginning. After growing up and seeing more people, there are also imitations, which are hard for him to track down. The key is that he himself is not upright, so it is inevitable to say a lot of bad words at this moment.

Ji Mo was a little annoyed when he heard that, and he remembered what Master Ji said to him, which was nothing more than "You are talented in building bridges. If you can eat this bowl of rice in the future, your senior brother will not be able to do it. Now he relies on this……"

In the minds of the old people, the ten fingers are of different lengths, so which one has to be cut off to make up for the short one?

If you have the ability, talent, and level, you should suffer losses in other things, so that people can feel balanced, so that the money that takes up your ability can be naturally supplemented by the shortfall.

The mood can be understood, the truth, but not necessarily the truth.

"Senior Brother——" Ji Mo emphasized his tone and interrupted Ge Gen. He didn't care, but he didn't want to hear these things that he took for granted because he didn't care. He couldn't take other people's tolerance as a reason for his presumptuousness.

"Is the canal coming soon?"

I found a question at random, and I don't want to listen to those business-related questions.

Ge Gen's eyebrows have been raised and eyes lowered these years, which can be regarded as tempered, and he stopped talking about those topics when he saw this, and brought the conversation back to the canal.

Whether or not the imperial court reopened the canal is actually a name. After the canal was built, except for the founding emperor of the later generation who ordered it to be closed, other emperors did not use it less.The key is that there is an official and private use inside.

Let's put it this way, even the emperor who said that the canal was closed and not allowed to be used, but it only stopped the official way of use, privately, it still couldn't help civilian and commercial use.

So the canal was never sealed.

Before I got close, I heard the hustle and bustle of coming and going. All the cargo ships were big ships with deep draft. They came and went from the spacious river. , foot strength, hard labor... Small merchants and hawkers are also mixed in, and there are children running and shuttling in it, earning money for running errands, and there is a lot of people talking.

It is as if a scene cut from the painting of the Qingming Riverside is directly filled into this world, and the sense of prosperity rushes to the face, which is completely different from the scattered people I saw along the way.

"Look, that's the canal!"

Along the way, Ge Gen was slightly out of breath. He has gained weight now, with the fat dragging on his body, and he is no longer as vigorous as when he was young.

The hustle and bustle, the cries of hawkers, can be heard from far away, and you can still see the orderly, seemingly selling something to eat, there is an endless stream of people, standing on the bow of the boat, looking up and down, The conscientious steward scolded from below, and Lifu shouted vigorously when he was carrying the bag.

Ji Mo looked up and could see the tall mast of the cargo ship. If he didn't know that this was a canal, he would almost think that the ship inside was a sea ship, it was really big!

It's not that he has never seen a boat in modern times. There are often small boats in the park that are convenient for tourists to visit. When traveling to other places, he can also enjoy the so-called antique painting feeling in a larger lake, and even on the river. The cruise ships running back and forth are another grand scene.

However, being in it, the scene seen from the small window and the side of the ship is still different from the scene of standing outside the painting and seeing this scene directly. It turns out that the ancient ships were so tall. Yet?Building boat?

I don’t know how to classify these boats, but the size is in order. The small boats go back and forth between the big boat and the shore, unloading and unloading the goods back and forth. .

On the mast, there is also the kind of place where you can hang the sails and look around. Someone stands on a high place, and the people below look up, and you can almost see a head.

"It's not easy to build a bridge on this canal."

After all, Ge Gen is still a student of bridge-building, and now he starts from the perspective of bridge-building.

Among other things, the bridge should not hinder traffic. This traffic does not mean cross-strait traffic. If the two sides want to travel between the two sides, a small boat ferrying back and forth is enough. It can also come from the opposite bank like stepping on a pedal.

If it's really not possible, the swimming skills are better. In a place where ships like this will berth, it is not difficult to swim from the other side. The current is not too fast, but it is enough.

But if it is to build a bridge, it is not easy just to look at the mast.

This bridge must be an arch bridge, and it must also be arched and high. In addition, it must be able to withstand the surge of the river during the wet season. Just looking at the erosion marks on both sides of the canal, you can know that the canal will not always be so calm.

Moreover, the issue on the court is also correct. For many years, the canal that has been "closed" by the court cannot be maintained and repaired by the government. Therefore, there are some problems with the embankments on both sides of the river. If someone stumbles and falls into the water, they know that the embankment is not strong enough.

Ji Mo instinctively evaluated the possibility of building a bridge here from the perspective of a bridge builder. Needless to say, the benefits of building bridges are convenient for traffic, but the disadvantages are only the height of the masts of those bridges...

"Do you need such a tall mast for sailing here?"

Ji Mo really didn't know much about ships, so asking this kind of question meant asking for advice.

Ge Gen is well-informed, especially after dealing with traders in these years, he has heard a lot of news, just like this canal, "I'm afraid it came from the sea."

One end of the canal leads directly to the seaport. If a cargo ship comes from afar, it will enter directly from there. In this way, it will inevitably have some high masts, which looks a little scary.

"The river is a bit wide!"

With such a tall mast, it is decided that the arch should be higher, at least it cannot block most of the masts from the bridge, but if the arch is higher... Ji Mo frowned, looking at the canal, this canal It is indeed grand, and one can almost imagine how the extravagant emperor sailed here in those days. The scene full of thousands of people must be very lively, not weaker than it is now.

However, bridge builders know one thing. The height of the arch is related to the span. Let’s put it this way, if you want the arch to be high, the span must be smaller, that is, the river should not be too wide. The arch is high, and the difficulty factor is doubled.

And again... Ji Mo was in trouble for a while, and unconsciously began to make gestures with his hands, building a model of the arch bridge in his mind, wanting to see how the dimensions of each part should fit together.

This pondering took a lot of time, and when we went back, Master Ji had already been waiting for a long time.

"How about it?"

After Ge Gen left, Master Ji asked Ji Mo how he felt after watching it.

"It's difficult." Ji Mo replied truthfully, his brows were still untied. During this time, he was thinking about how to build such a bridge across the canal with the technology he has learned now.

Hearing what he said, Master Ji not only didn't get angry, but became a little more happy. When Ji Mo saw it, he knew that there was a door, so he asked: "What I learned before, I haven't dabbled in this, and I still have to ask Master for advice, how can I get along with you?" Build bridges over canals."

"If a bridge is built on the canal, it can only be a Hongqiao." Master Ji was slightly impressed.

[Main task: Bridge Builder. 】

[Current task: professional knowledge learning - (91/100)]

Just the word "Hongqiao" directly gave Ji Mo two professional knowledge points, and Ji Mo couldn't help raising his eyebrows. It seems that this is the key skill to be able to achieve a hundred!

Since studying so far, Ji Mo has already gained experience. If the master keeps one hand, the one left is the key to the last ten. Now it seems that this Hongqiao skill is the key that Master Ji wants to pass on.

Ji Mo looked serious and listened attentively.
