Datang first village

Zheng Xiuyan didn't understand, after eating and drinking enough, people should rest when they are lazy.

"Your Highness, why do you want to run back to Admiral Tiance's mansion, and there are not many people living in this mansion, how could it be more comfortable than the imperial palace!"

Aunt Zheng Xiu leaned against Li Yuanxing and asked.

Li Yuanxing didn't answer, but Cui Yingying said, "Your Highness is afraid that we will be questioned!"

"Ask, what will you ask?" Zheng Xiuyan asked curiously, and then said: "Could it be that they ask, we have to answer. Those who are qualified to know will not ask, and those who are not qualified to know will ask in vain!"

When Zheng Xiuyan said this, Li Yuanxing couldn't help but nodded.

Cui Yingying and Li Liyuan were very surprised, but they did not expect that Zheng Xiuyan had such a mind.

Li Yuanxing and Wu Zhao were not surprised, there were no idiots who could be sent to Qin Palace by the Seventh Family, only smarter ones.

The next day, some unknown source leaked the news that King Qin was going to Yaozhou. Even the regular meeting of Tianying Pavilion was suspended, and more than 50 officials even asked to go to Yaozhou with Li Yuanxing.

Li Yuanxing had no way to refuse, so he had to formally invite all the officials to accompany him.

The first stop is to stop and rest, just beside the Jing River.

Li Chun trotted all the way to meet him, followed by two officials from the Ministry of Industry.In terms of functions, the officials of the Ministry of Industry must be higher than Li Chun, but Li Chun has the token of the Qin Palace in his hand, and the officials of the Ministry of Industry regard themselves as deputy.

"Your Highness, the little craftsman has done the math. The bridge deck can be as wide as fifteen feet, with 360 main arches and [-] six small arches. I just ask Your Highness to give me an extra [-] catties of cement." Li Chun is not young anymore. When he said this, he rubbed his hands and blushed a little: "It would be better if His Highness can give you one hundred thousand catties more!"

Li Yuanxing smiled, turned around and introduced to the officials: "This is the person that this king said is qualified to be a first-class master craftsman. This king will give him a chance to prove himself and repair this bridge. Then there is another big project, if he completes it, this king will ask the emperor brother for him the honor of being a master craftsman!"

"Your Highness, the long bridge with a width of fifteen feet and a length of nearly two hundred feet is rare in the world, so it is naturally a proof!" Cui Junsu said from the side.

Wang Jishan asked at this time: "I am old and not talented. A bridge of this width and a bridge of five feet wide consume more materials and manpower. Moreover, according to the craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry, it is more difficult to increase the bridge width by several times. The fifteen-foot-wide bridge is hundreds of times more difficult than ordinary bridges, so where is the reward?"

"In terms of capacity!" Li Yuanxing replied very simply.

There is no need for Li Yuanxing to explain the benefits of transportation power. If Wang Jishan doesn't understand, someone will explain it to him.

Li Yuanxing pointed to the construction site in the distance: "Go and see!"

For five miles above the garden beside the Jing River, there was the sound of chaotic stone knocking, and countless boulders were carried to the construction site.Looking around, there are at least 3 people working here.

Li Chun used the water blocking method.

That is to fill the river with sand and rocks from both sides of the river to block the water, let the water flow through the middle of the river, the bridges on both sides have appeared, thirteen large arches have been built on the south bank of the river, and there are six large arches on the north bank of the river. According to this calculation, more than [-]% of Li Chun's project has been completed.

The most difficult thing is not the big arch, but the connection point where the two sides connect to the shore.

"20 catties of cement, I'll give you an extra five thousand catties of fine steel bars. Before the end of April, the king will see the bridge, and after another month, he will send another five thousand slave laborers. On the fifth day of May, the king will test the bridge!"

Li Yuanxing's tone was a little harsher.

"The little craftsman must do it!" Li Chun was also furious. He only improved the design of the bridge according to the actual situation of the river. The basic design was still from the Qin Palace. The design was really ingenious and gave Li Chun great inspiration. , Li Chun asked himself if he could not complete the bridge, how would he be worthy of His Royal Highness King Qin's attention.

Li Yuanxing turned around and asked, "Has Li Chun's family brought him back?"

"Return to Your Highness, I took it back." The official from the Ministry of Industry replied, "A courtyard has been arranged by the Jing River."

"Order the medical officer to order a supplement for Li Chun. Give him at least one chicken every day so that he can eat well, so as not to get sick from exhaustion. My king, come to inspect the bridge on the fifth day of May!"

The officials of Tianying Pavilion understand literature, painting, poetry, people's livelihood, some economics, and some even know a little cooking.But no one really understands the bridge, but two officials who used to work in the Ministry of Industry have a little knowledge, and these two became the commentators of the officials of Tianying Pavilion.

How good is Lutong?

Wang Jishan asked with a smile: "Your Highness, this road is very heavy, but I don't know how heavy it is?" When Wang Jishan said heavy, he meant important, important points and so on.

Li Yuanxing said with a smile: "If the road can be built to Lingnan, then those miraculous fruits in Lingnan will still be fresh after three days in Chang'an. I wonder if Mr. Wang is lucky?"

Wang Jishan laughed, and those in high positions can just click on the words.

If you can transport fruits from Lingnan in three days, then you can deliver information and official documents within two days.Datang's control over the surrounding area will be strengthened, which is a big deal.It's just that Wang Jishan still hopes to see the most real benefits of this road.

Under the urging of Wang Jishan, all the officials ate some dry food and continued on the road.

The road is still the old road, the new road over there is paved with gravel, and there are two sergeants guarding it every hundred steps, no one is allowed to approach.

The large group of people walked slowly, and only traveled more than 100 miles in the afternoon.

At this time, a young attendant suddenly shouted: "New road, there is a new road!"

This shout increased the speed of the entire convoy a lot.

Here, sixty miles away from Yaozhou, there are more than 5 civilian workers on the ten-mile-long construction site.

Every group of eight people, with a long rope in each person's hand, pulled up a flat stone the size of a millstone. Eight people pulled the flat stone off the ground at the same time, and then smashed it down heavily, compressing the broken stone firmly.

Just looking at the flat gravel road makes people happy.

"This new road is really extraordinary!" Cui Junsu praised.

Cui Dunli is in charge here. Seeing the convoy and King Qin's flag from a distance, he greeted him. He just heard Cui Junsu's comment, and replied with a smile: "Cui Shangshu is joking. If the road is like this, then the king of Qin Your Highness is going to beheaded, here only the roadbed is processed, and ten miles forward is the formed road surface."

"There must be a surprise?" Cui Junsu asked with a smile.

"Brother Jun Su must be shocked!" Cui Dunli responded with a smile.

"Brother Li, please share the car!" Both belong to the Cui family, although one is from the Qinghe Cui family and the other is from the Boling Cui family, but they are of the same root.

There was no hatred between the two of them, and the struggle for the authenticity of the Cui family was no longer a matter of the past few years, it could be said that the struggle had been going on for a thousand years.The two of them got into the car together, and even Wang Jishan got up, and wanted to listen to Cui Dunli talk about the road first.

Shi, the chief minister of the Prince of Qin's residence, is on the third rank, on the same level as Shangshu, this is a senior official.

Letting such a high official personally supervise this road, one can imagine how much the king of Qin attaches importance to this road.

Ten miles ahead, the convoy suddenly slowed down, and everyone's eyes lit up.

Is this the real way?

The road is 45 feet wide, and there are [-] feet of straight roads in the middle. The top is paved with straw, and some folks are sprinkling water on it.They didn't understand why they did this, and they also knew that now was not the time to ask, so everyone watched silently.

There is a row of stones half a foot high in the middle of each of the [-] zhang straight roads in the middle, which is even more incomprehensible to everyone.

Looking at the two sides, there is a foot of loose soil on each side. No one knows what is the use of this. Further outside, there are some dark roads. There are farmers planting trees on the outermost side of the road.

"Keep going!" Cui Dunli shouted.

The officials of Tianying Pavilion are looking forward to it, because he knows that this road is not yet completed.

About ten miles forward, here is already twenty miles away from Yaozhou.

The truly completed pavement is presented in front of everyone.

The straight road is 45 feet wide, the left and right lanes are [-] feet wide, and the one foot wide area on both sides is full of shrubs.Li Yuanxing called this a green belt, and further outside, the dark road was more than two feet wide, and there were three neat rows of poplar trees planted outside, many of which were just twigs.

The officials naturally knew that within three years, there would be green trees here.

"Everyone!" Li Yuanxing stood up in person: "The road is divided into left and right, and carriages keep to the right. Naturally, there will be no fear of collisions between passing vehicles, and the cars can let go and speed up. There is isolation in the center of the road, and there will be no coming from the opposite side. The carriage went on the wrong path. This is a gravel paved road, then paved with cement, and separated by a finger-wide wooden strip every three feet. Although it is a substitute, it can still be used for three to five years. There will be better fillings!"

Why fill, why not just lay flat.

Li Yuanxing didn't explain it, and no one could understand it.

"There are trees that can block wind and sand, and the road surface will not be covered by water and soil, so the road can be used for a long time!"

Li Yuanxing walked to the dark trails on both sides: "It can be used for pedestrians to walk, and it can also be used for the motorcade to rest. No car is allowed to park on the straight road, and an open space will be set up every twenty miles as a rest area. You can also recruit some shops, sell some food and drink, repair carriages, etc.!"

"Your Highness, you said that one day is Luoyang. Such a good road, I believe it!"

Li Yuanxing also smiled: "Then let me show you something more interesting. Please pick out three knights who are good knights, and let them rush ten miles away to get a token. The king will send someone to get it and test it." How about this new road?"

"Very good!"

Wang Jishan took out his own jade pendant and gave it to a knight. The three knights were led by Cui Dunli's guards, and the other two were the personal followers of Wang Jishan and Cui Junsu. On the straight road, such a good horse gallops on the road, and the distance of ten miles is calculated in modern time, and 10 minutes is enough.

On Li Yuanxing's side, a strong guard took down a wooden box from the carriage and brought out an 10,000-speed road racing bicycle that Li Yuanxing bought from Hyundai. This bicycle is worth [-]+ yuan in Hyundai.

"Let me see how fast you are!" Li Yuanxing said to the guard. (To be continued.)
