Chapter 288
"Can it really be built?" Di Sauvey felt his blood boiling. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"It's possible!" Xiao'er didn't finish her words.
"Okay, I've built one of them!" Dishaw waved his hand, and the trench became inhumane. Who made him the richest man in the family in the past two years!
"We also donated to build one. Shen Chengyao felt that it was worth spending money on such a big thing.
After all, if the bridge is really built, it will bring convenience to many people, it is unimaginable!
"Well, the preliminary budget is 100,000 taels of silver for each bridge!" Xiao'er glanced at her arrogant father.
It is estimated that he thought that 10,000 taels would be able to do it!
"What?!So expensive?!Xiao'er, is there so much silver at home?" Shen Chengyao subconsciously looked at Xiao'er, he didn't expect to ask for so much silver. He hadn't looked at the account books at home for a long time, they were all in charge of the Liu family, and he didn't know how much property the family had in total.
Most of the shop's tents are also between Liu and Xiao'er.
He only knew that his monthly income was not enough to cover the daily expenses of his family.
And he himself would go out with a hundred taels of silver tickets and ten taels of broken silver for him every day, and return them untouched when he returned home.
"Shengping Hou, you don't even know how much silver you have at home? Don't worry! There is a lucky virgin in your family, and there is no shortage of silver!" Di Shaowei was a little surprised when he heard Shen Chengyao's words, and after thinking about it for a while, he felt that it was natural.
Whoever is in charge of the family is the head of the family, and his father probably doesn't know how much property the family has.
"Dad, don't worry! A bridge can still be donated. Xiao'er also nodded to Shen Chengyao.
100,000 taels, and she got more than this amount on the pirate ship.
The four of them returned to the post station, and Shangguan Xuanyi took out a map and discussed the location of the Huaijiang Bridge with the three of them.
After a night of discussion, the four of them took into account many factors. In the end, it was decided to build four Huaijiang bridges, and the latter four were the most convenient for the people.
Shangguan Xuanyi planned to use his private house to build one, and it was impossible for the treasury to fund the construction of two bridges over the Huai River, and the treasury's silver was too useful.
Xiao'er saw a large plain in Pingzhou County from the map, if this is a field, it is simply ten thousand hectares of fertile land!
The Nanhuai River is more than 2,000 meters away from this plain.
"This plain is susceptible to flooding, isn't it?" Xiao'er said with ninety percent certainty.
"Well, in the rainy season, the Nanhuai River is relatively prone to lack of embankments, and even no harvest in serious cases. Shangguan Xuanyi glanced at the place where Xiao'er's finger was pointing.
The imperial court really loves and hates this piece of land! It is clear that there should be thousands of acres of fertile land, but it is flooded every year.
Xiao'er nodded, and secretly decided to find a time to see the actual situation.
See if there is any land for sale, such a flat field, close to the water source, is really the best good land, how much is not afraid to buy.
As for the flooding, it's not a big deal.
By the way, she will see if she can build some water conservancy according to local conditions, which will help prevent the annual flood.
The next day, after Xiaofuzi brought the people from the Ministry of Industry over, they went to the Huai River in Yangchun County together for a field trip.
Looking at the wide river, Master Li and his subordinates of the Ministry of Works, you look at me, I look at you, and I want to stop talking.
"If you have anything you want to say, just say it. Shangguan Xuanyi lowered his head and watched Xiao'er carefully record some data with a pen, as if he had eyes behind him, and saw the big and small movements of several officials in the Ministry of Industry.
"Sixth Prince, can such a long bridge really be built?" And as soon as it is built, four will be built? What if you find that you can't repair it after half of it? In the end, you won't end up with a waste of money and labor, right?
"I don't know, try it. Shangguan Xuanyi seemed to be as simple as saying that this dish was not in line with the taste and served it.
I don't know?! Try it?! When the people in the Ministry of Industry heard this, they wailed in their hearts.
When did the Six Princes become so unreliable?
Four bridges must be built at the same time, so how much silver does the treasury have to come up with?
What if you are halfway through the building and find that you can't build it!
The money in the treasury is not blown by a strong wind.
When the time comes, so much silver in the treasury has been wasted, and they must not be beaten to death by the officials and the people of the household department?
If you want to do something in the future, you will definitely not be able to ask for silver.
And the household department will never agree to pull out so much silver.
"The sixth prince, the lower officials have the courage to say a lot, these bridges can't be built!"
"Yes, the sixth prince, no one has ever built such a long bridge in history, if you build a suspension bridge, you can still consider it, but how can it be possible to build a bridge that can be crossed by cars and horses!
"Six princes, the bridges that cars and horses can cross are all stone bridges and wooden bridges, all built on some small rivers, the Huai River is so long, I can't wait, there is really no way!"
Shangguan Xuanyi saw the real worry in the eyes of several officials of the Ministry of Industry, so he said: "Di Gongzi, Shengping Hou, and I will donate to build one of them, and the treasury only needs to fund the construction of a bridge." ”
After the construction of these Huaijiang bridges, they will not only promote the economic development of the north and the south, but also facilitate the millions of people on both sides of the strait.
"Xia Guan will do his best to build these bridges!"
"Yes, it must be completed before the river level rises!"
……
In response to their words, Shangguan Xuanyi nodded lightly, "Go see the next place!"
During the day, the group conducted on-site inspections, and in the evening, Xiao'er, Shangguan Xuanyi and other three people discussed the design of the bridge together in the study.
Of course, it was mainly Xiao'er who was designing, and the other three provided her with some information.
After more than ten days of busy work, all the bridge designs were finally completed, and at this time, the construction materials and staff of the first Yangchun Huaijiang Bridge at the junction of Yangdan County and Huaichun County were all in place, and the construction officially began.
Xiao'er also made a ribbon-cutting and groundbreaking ceremony, which Shangguan Xuanyi attended.
The people were overjoyed when they knew that they were going to build a bridge or build such a long bridge. Even if you don't have to work and rest, many people take the initiative to help, even if it is to transport sand and gravel, and move cement!
Xiao'er had already written to Foreman Liang and asked him to come to the imperial capital to build a bridge.
After these bridges were built, even if it was a worker who was responsible for picking sand, as long as he said that he had participated in the construction of the Yangchun Huaijiang Bridge, some people would rush to ask him to work.
Such a good thing, of course, has to take care of acquaintances.
Besides, Foreman Liang has both talent and passion for architecture, which is a good opportunity to learn and practice.
I hope that by relying on this bridge construction incident, a few talents can be cultivated, and the country is in need of professional and technical personnel.
