It is not easy to build a strong and durable bridge, but it is too easy to build a simple wooden bridge.
Yun Chao picked a few tall and straight trees. After turning them over, he cut off the tree heads and roots, leaving only the trunks.
There are many people under Yun Chao. They eat well and train every day. Each young man is better than the last. It is not difficult for more than a dozen people to work together to drag a few tree trunks to the shore of Wolong Valley.
Transportation is simple, but the most difficult thing is how to transport the tree trunks to both sides of Wolong Gorge.
Yun Chao asked the elders in the village for advice, and some of them still remembered the time when the single-plank bridge was built.
At first, the villagers wanted to get the trunk to the bottom of Wolong Gorge and then lift it to the other side.
Who knew, it wouldn’t work at all.
In summer, there was too much water in Wolong Valley, and the tree trunks would be washed away by the water. Two people died because of this.
In winter, there was ice at the bottom of the ditch, and the tree trunks were so heavy that the ice would break as soon as you climbed up, and several people almost froze to death.
What's more, Wolong Gorge is so deep that even if one end of the tree trunk is taken down, it will be difficult to lift it across the other side.
Later, the villagers tried many methods, but they all failed, and the bridge could not be erected for several years.
In the end, the people of Wolong Village became ruthless and mobilized hundreds of villagers. They failed several times. In the end, two people died and a lot of people were injured before they could get the tree trunk across the other side.
Unless Yun Chao also mobilized hundreds of people and risked death, it was possible to erect the bridge!
On the day when Yunchao built the bridge, all the villagers who could come came.
Even the village protection team who was repairing the village wall came to watch the fun, and Lai Zhicheng couldn't stop them.
Due to traffic restrictions, the north bank of Wolong Valley has always been a waste for the people of Wolong Village. If Yun Chao could build a convenient bridge in Wolong Valley and turn the chasm into a thoroughfare, the people of Wolong Village would be grateful to his eight generations of ancestors!
Since the merit is so great, why has no one done it for so long?
The main reason is that there is no one to organize, lack of funds, and no benefits. You have contributed your own efforts, but you have benefited others. Who is willing to do such a stupid thing?
Just like when the single-plank bridge was built, people died, and in the end the people of Wolong Village did not get any benefits. At most, it was more convenient to chop firewood at the foot of Beishan.
To cut firewood, a single-plank bridge is enough. No matter how good a bridge is, it is useless. On the contrary, it may give some landlords and bullies an advantage.
Yun Chao is different. First, he has people, second, he is powerful, and third, his fields are all on the north bank of Wolong Valley. Although they are still deserted, after the bridge is built, the benefits can be seen with the naked eye.
However, many villagers are not optimistic about it.
It is said that Yun Er is full of food. No one knows better than them how difficult it is to build a bridge that can carry ox carts.
Especially Lai Zhicheng and his son, who were holding back their bad intentions to see Yun Chao's jokes.
Let's fight. It's best to kill a few people. Let's see if Yun Er dares to sneer in the future!
Yun Chao and his men all came, and their families also came to help.
Everyone is curious as to what method Yun Chao will use to build the bridge.
"Come on, let's talk about how to build this bridge."
Yun Chao's practical teaching has begun again. He always misses every opportunity and develops his subordinates' IQ as long as conditions permit.
Zhang Sihai was the first to stand up. He suggested that someone carry one end of the big tree across the existing single-plank bridge, and then the bridge could be built.
This idea was directly rejected by Yun Chao.
Although this method seems simple, it has a very big drawback, that is, it is dangerous.
Carrying such a big and heavy tree trunk across a single-plank bridge is so dangerous that people who have never walked on a single-plank bridge can never imagine.
Once a mistake is made, no one can bear the heavy casualties.
Sanjunzi suggested that one end of the big tree should be tied with a rope, and people should first cross to the south bank of Wolong Valley, and then drag the big tree over little by little.
Unfortunately, this plan was also rejected by Yun Chao.
It sounds simple, but it's not easy at all.
It is not unusually difficult to pull a large tree trunk that is twenty to thirty meters long and can be hugged by several people across the Wolong Gorge to the other side.
What's more, this method requires someone to pull it off at both ends, not only on the south bank, but also on the north bank.
Anyone who pulls up the tree will be dragged into the ditch if they don't do it right.
Seeing that all the boys under his command were running out of ideas, Yun Chao stopped nagging. It seemed that there was a long way to go to cultivate talents, and he had to work hard.
Next, Yun Chao entered the overall command mode.
Not far from the previous single-plank bridge, on the north bank of Wolong Valley, Yun Chao had someone dig a shallow pit and put one end of the big tree into it, preparing to erect the trunk.
Seeing Yun Chao doing this, many villagers who disliked him, including Lai Zhicheng, all sneered with disdain.
The boy who hasn’t even grown his hair yet still wants to learn from his predecessors to build bridges, so why don’t you, a big horse monkey!
Do you think the people in the past were all fools? The method of raising a tree trunk and falling directly to the other side has been used by our predecessors a long time ago.
Unfortunately, either because of poor direction control, the tree trunk eventually hit the ditch, or the potential energy was too great, causing the other bank to collapse.
Look how unlucky you are!
Just when some people were waiting to see how ugly Yun Chao was, unexpectedly, Yun Chao made a cool move.
This kid didn't follow the routine and actually tied three long hemp ropes on one end!
Tying ropes has a meaning. I think tying a few ropes can tie up the tree trunk... uh...
Those who wished Yun Chao bad luck remained silent.
Yun Chao asked some people to hold one of the hemp ropes, go down to the bottom of the ditch, and cross the ice to the other side.
The other two waves of people were divided into two directions, each holding a hemp rope and pulling it in the northeast and northwest directions.
The three parties worked together and took advantage of the stability of the triangle to erect the tree trunk!
After the tree trunk was completely upright, the people on the south bank slowly pulled the hemp rope, and the two waves of people on the north bank slowly relaxed. The three parties worked together to control the direction and let the tree trunk slowly fall to the south bank...
Finally, with a loud bang, the tree trunk reached Wolong Gorge steadily, and a single-plank bridge was erected!
In an instant, there was thunderous cheers, and even the villagers who had a modest relationship with Yun Chao were shouting and jumping around!
The reason why the villagers were so excited was not simply because there was a single-plank bridge on Wolong Valley, but because everyone saw the wisdom of Yun Chao and the wisdom of ordinary people.
It turns out that the bridge can still be erected like this!
It turns out that life can still be done like this!
It turns out that we ordinary people can be so capable!
"cut!"
Seeing Yun Chao's prestige rising, Lai Zhicheng's eldest son Lai Shouren couldn't hold back his anger and curled his lips disdainfully: "What's the use of a single-plank bridge? Isn't it difficult for oxcarts to cross?"
Lai Da's voice was so loud that many villagers heard it.
Yes, after struggling for a long time, Yun Er just built an extra single-plank bridge on Wolong Valley. It can neither cross oxen nor oxcarts. Is it useful for birds?
