Chapter 1142
Xiaoqiao asked again: "Your Majesty, do you know that Mrs. Tang is going to hold a book recommendation meeting?"

"Book recommendation meeting?"

"That's right, it is to gather some scholars to have a banquet, and then pick out the ten best articles from the books and articles published this year, and then publish the results in the Mansion Newspaper. The concubine heard that there are many famous people going to participate, it must be very lively."

Liu Xie turned his head and looked at Xiaoqiao who couldn't help himself. "You want to go?"

"The concubine wants to go with His Majesty."

"Why did you follow me?" Liu Xie laughed dumbly. "Give you two days off, you can go by yourself."

"The concubine is no more knowledgeable than Cai Yan and Yuan Heng. Their knowledge is too poor. They are reluctant to serve His Majesty, and they are not so good at evaluating articles. At that time, they will not be able to argue. They can only follow what others say. What's the point?"

Liu Xie thought for a while, then said, "When?"

"It's not yet decided. If His Majesty is interested, the concubine can go and inquire."

"Okay, let me know if you find out." Liu Xie stood up and said again: "Also, keep quiet for now, in case some people have impure goals, not for academics, but to get close to me before going to the party."

"Wei." Xiaoqiao happily agreed.

Liu Xie was a little inexplicably irritable, and got up and left the hall.

Mrs. Tang held such a big party for recommending books, and he didn't even receive any news, which is really unreasonable.It stands to reason that even if it is not suitable for him to come in person, Mrs. Tang should ask for instructions in advance.

After all, Mrs. Tang is presiding over this bookstore in name, but in fact it is the content of the New Deal arranged by him alone.

Could it be because Cai Yan was demoted that she misunderstood?

When they came to the backyard, before entering the door, they heard the excited voices of Zhen Mi and Lu Xiaohuan.

Liu Xie followed the sound and saw that Zhen Mi and Lu Xiaohuan were talking enthusiastically about the sketches of the bridge, and they didn't even notice when he entered the door.The two children were thrown aside and forgot to take care of them.One stood by the cradle, stood on tiptoe, and looked at his younger brother lying in the cradle. The two looked at each other. They didn't know why they were so happy, and their mouths were drooling with laughter.

"What are you talking about, so happy?" Liu Xie walked over, picked up the child standing on the ground, and touched his little feet with his hand.Although there are heating ducts under the floor, the floor was a bit cold.

"Your Majesty, can sister Zhen's bridge be built?" Lu Xiaohuan walked over, excited beyond words.

"Whether it can cause it or not has anything to do with you?" Liu Xie asked inexplicably, "She built the bridge in order to become a marquis, and you also want to rely on this to make her a marquis?"

"Of course not, but if such a big bridge can be built, it will be more convenient to build bridges on the battlefield in the future." Lu Xiaohuan said with a smile: "I heard that although the Western Regions are not as rich as the Central Plains, there are still many big rivers, which will be indispensable in the future It is necessary to build a bridge. It is so difficult to build a bridge, those barbarians will definitely not be able to do it, and they can only be transported by boat."

Liu Xie blinked, feeling that what Lu Xiaohuan said made some sense.

Compared with building a bridge over the Yellow River, it is more meaningful to quickly build a temporary bridge on the battlefield for the Western Expedition.

In fact, Jiangwutang has been researching how to quickly build temporary bridges, but it is not as radical as Zhen Mi, who wants to use expensive steel to build bridges, and is still at the stage of mainly using wood.

Sure enough, people's vision has blind spots, and they only see the part that they care about the most.

"Although bridges are needed in Hexi and Shangjun, they don't have many household registrations. Even if this steel bridge can be erected, there are not many people walking, and I don't know when the cost will be recovered. Building bridges on the battlefield is different. Speed, the chance to cause a surprise attack, and the cost can be recovered in one battle..."

Lu Xiaohuan counted the benefits of quickly building bridges on the battlefield one by one with his fingers. Even Zhen Mi was attracted, temporarily put aside his idea of ​​building a bridge on the Yellow River, and discussed with Lu Xiaohuan.

Liu Xie finally poured cold water on them.

No matter where the bridge is built, whether it is a large bridge across the Yellow River or an ordinary small bridge, it is necessary to have a certain understanding of the structural mechanics of bridge construction in order to minimize the cost.In a sense, this is especially true for the temporary bridges required on the battlefield. Once the design is unreasonable, either it cannot meet the requirements, or it is too heavy and loses convenience.

With the current transportation capacity, it is impossible to run around with a heavy bridge.Even if it could, it would not be able to achieve the suddenness of the Raiders.

Therefore, if you want to build a good bridge, you must first settle down and do research.

When research was mentioned, Zhen Mi and Lu Xiaohuan frowned.

Lu Xiaohuan is a martial artist, insulated from knowledge.Back then Lu Bu and his wife forced her to study and tried everything, but she was still semi-literate. On the contrary, Lu Bu made a lot of progress and could read several Confucian classics eloquently.

Zhen Mi was a little better, but she was also powerless, she really didn't have that IQ.

"Your Majesty, my concubine... can I make a suggestion?"

"tell me the story."

"Recently, there are too many things to be studied in the martial arts hall. The craftsmen are all busy, and there are very few people who can concentrate on building bridges. It is so difficult to build bridges. I am afraid that it is difficult to see success with only craftsmen. There must also be a large number of talents who are proficient in arithmetic. The concubine wondered if it is possible to recruit some people to specialize in this technology. There are so many rivers in the world, if a good bridge can be built, it will be of great use. Bridges can be built on rivers, and bridges can be built on rivers. Bridges can also be built, bridges can be built on Huai River and Surabaya River.”

Liu Xie thought about it seriously and found it reasonable.

It may not be the best choice to put all the technical research in the lecture hall. Civilian functions such as bridge building are obviously greater than military functions, which can be separated and organized by civilian forces.In this way, the lecture hall can also concentrate on researching strategic technologies such as gunpowder and steelmaking.

"Why don't you try it first?" Liu Xie suggested.

Zhen Mi was right in her arms, and then asked another question, where did the money come from?
The salaries of so many people, the materials for trial production, especially high-quality steel are very expensive, and without the consent of the emperor, even if you have money, you may not be able to buy them.

After discussing with Zhen Mi, Liu Xie decided to walk on two legs: the imperial court allocates part of the money, and then raises part of the money from the people, and the public-private joint venture.After success, the technology will be owned by the imperial court, and cooperative non-governmental organizations can get priority authorization, and thus get the supply of high-quality steel.

Situ Mansion is in charge of the court part, and Zhen Mi is in charge of the private part.

There are many wealthy businessmen in Zhongshan, Wuji Zhen is just one of them.If they are not short of money, they are short of good projects.As long as there are good projects, it is not difficult to raise hundreds of millions of dollars.

Zhen Mi is so enthusiastic about building bridges, besides wanting to be a marquis, she also has considerations in this regard.

Now that Liu Xie gave her this opportunity, she naturally had to seize it tightly.

Once the direction is set, the relevant details will be handled easily, and Situ Mansion will naturally arrange for people to connect with them at that time.

A similar approach has already been tried in Jizhou.Zhuge Liang is in charge of Handan, and Huang Yueying is in charge of related road renovations. The effect of the public-private partnership is very good.Situ's Mansion also held a special seminar for this purpose, intending to promote this experience to the whole country, so as to use the financial resources and talents of the people to accelerate the speed of development.

Everything is going to happen, it's just missing a chance.
