Chapter 924: Good Poetry

For the three people who saw the Ezhou Bridge for the first time, their hearts must be extremely shocked, in such an era, anyone who sees such a magnificent bridge for the first time will be shocked and speechless, this is a very normal thing, there is nothing to doubt.

Looking at the shocked expressions of the three people, Ang Lee's heart was very happy, this is a recognition of his own design level, after all, this magnificent bridge was designed by himself, if there is no design drawing of his own, this bridge will never be built.

Since the three of them were so shocked by the bridge, Ang Lee allowed them to visit at will without having to follow him all the time, which was not conducive to seeing more scenery.

"Standing on the top of the bridge, a glance at the passing boats, the people on both sides of the strait pass casually, and the fishing boats on the river come slowly, hahahaha!"

Ang Lee was in a good mood, and made a poem as soon as he came out, and he did it himself, and he did not plagiarize others, at most, he slightly modified and borrowed ancient words, and the first two sentences were five words, and the last two sentences were seven words, which seemed quite strange in the era of the Tang Dynasty, but the meaning of the poem was also very obvious and very appropriate.

"Good poetry, good poetry, what a time!"

How dare the accompanying subordinates say nothing, as soon as they heard Li Anyin's poem, they opened their mouths to praise it, saying that Li Anyin is good, in fact, it is just a sycophant, this poem is not very good, it can only be regarded as average.

"A bridge flies north and south, the moat is open from here, and the bridge is repaired, and you are all heroes."

Li An looked at the magnificent bridge and sighed.

This sentence was already said when I first visited the bridge, and now I repeat it again to deepen the impression of my subordinates.

Because Li An's side gathered too many high-ranking officials, the people passing by all understood that Li An, who was surrounded by the core, was a very important figure in the Tang Dynasty, and they all looked at it curiously, and even made the sidewalk a little congested, which was not too wide.

"Grandma, look."

The last time I passed by, the pair of grandchildren that Li Hanlu met happened to pass this time, and the child's eyes were very keen, and he saw Li Hanlu and the others from a long distance, and he seemed very excited.

"Grandson, there are a lot of people in front, I saw it, they are all big people, you can't run around."

The old lady was very cautious to hold her grandson's arm to prevent her grandson from running around and bumping into important people, which would cause trouble for herself.

"Grandma, it's my sister, sister, I ...... the other day"

The little baby doesn't speak too clearly, but he can say things almost intermittently, at least, he can understand his grandmother for a long time.

"It's too far away for grandma to see clearly."

The old lady has long been dazzled, and from a long distance, where can she see clearly, but the little baby has good eyes and can easily see clearly.

In order to protect Li An's safety, after Li An went to the bridge, the little official in charge of the guard work had already gone to prepare and closed one of the two sidewalks, and pedestrians who came and went could only walk on the same sidewalk, anyway, they were all on foot, completely staggered, and on the other sidewalk, there were only Li An and the accompanying people, as well as many guards.

In other words, the distance between the old lady and Li Ang across the width of the bridge deck, although it is not very far, is not close, and it is normal for the old lady to not see clearly.

Pedestrians are inevitably curious, so once they walk to the middle of the bridge, they will instinctively stop and watch, thus causing the pressure of traffic, and the soldiers and officials responsible for the safety of the bridge will keep urging pedestrians not to stop, and those who should cross the bridge should hurry over, so as to maintain the normal operation of the bridge.

"Grandma, that's my sister."

The little grandson broke free of his grandmother's hand, slipped through the gap under the guardrail to the middle avenue, and ran to the sidewalk opposite.

"Grandson, come back quickly, come back."

The old lady was very frightened, there was a carriage on the middle road, and besides, there were big people on the opposite side, and it would not be good if there was a collision.

Maybe no one expected a little doll to break in, so when the little doll crossed the middle road, there was no one to stop it, obviously not reacting.

And after the soldier reacted, he was not too nervous, after all, no one would think that a four-year-old doll could pose a threat to Ang Lee's life, let alone be an assassin.

However, the little baby's disorderly intrusion still caused a little chaos, and many soldiers ran towards the little baby, ready to pick up the naughty boy and send him back to the other side.

The little turmoil attracted Li Yaer's attention, her eyes were also very good, and her curiosity was not light, and when she saw a little baby running over, she walked over to see what was going on.

"Madame was angry, it was a little doll who suddenly broke in."

Seeing Li Ya'er coming over, a small official saluted.

Li Ya'er smiled at the little doll and said, "I know this little doll, come, hug it to me." ”

Several soldiers were stunned, and hurriedly hugged the little baby and put it at Li Yaer's feet.

"Dog, why did you come here by yourself, grandma?"

Li Yaer asked.

"Sister, I don't call Goudan'er, I'm called Gouwa'er, and grandma is on the other side of the road."

The dog baby said seriously.

This made everyone around laugh, there is no difference between a dog and a dog, the meaning is the same.

At this time, the grandmother of the dog baby, on the other side of the road, looked quite nervous and didn't know what to do.

"Come on, go and get the dog's balls, no, it's the dog's grandmother who picked it up."

Li Yaer took advantage of her identity and directly gave orders to the officials of the bridge.

The positions of these petty officials and soldiers were very low, so they naturally did not dare to disobey in the slightest, so they hurriedly ran over and took the grandmother of the dog baby.

"Hello Madame, we see Madame again."

The old lady looked very excited, and she didn't know where to put her hands and feet.

Li An quickly noticed this pair of ancestors and grandchildren, and walked over with Li Hanlu.

"Husband, this pair of ancestors and grandchildren is what we met when we passed by here last time, and we told you on the way."

Li Hanlu was in a very good mood when she saw the grandchildren of the dog baby, and said with a smile.

"Haha! That's really fate! Hahaha! ”

Li An was also very happy, he was naturally happier to be able to fulfill his wife's wish, and walked forward as he spoke, ready to tease the little baby in front of him.

"Little baby, you are a dog baby, what do you want to do when you grow up?"

After Li An walked over, he looked at the little baby and asked.

The little dog looked a little scared when she saw the living person, looked at Li An in a daze, and didn't dare to speak, looking a little stunned.

Generally, country children who have never seen much of the world are like this, and their courage is relatively small, or once they meet a living person, or a big person, they are scared to death.

"This ...... As soon as the dog baby saw the living, he was timid and didn't dare to say a word. ”

The old lady said a little nervously.

"Li Shilang, this little baby in the countryside is like this, afraid of people."

One of the officials said the same.

Li Hanlu looked at the old lady and said, "Old man, this is my husband next to me, and Li Shilang, who also designed this bridge." ”

"Oops! You are Li Shilang! You are the benefactor of our village! Dog baby, kowtow to your benefactor. ”

The old lady said excitedly, and wanted to kneel.

Li Ya'er was beside her, and hurriedly helped the old man up, and said softly: "The old man is respected, and the old man doesn't have to salute." ”

The dog baby is very obedient, although he is a little scared, but grandma asked him to kowtow, he quickly really kowtowed, the little knee is estimated to be because of the frequent kneeling, and it doesn't seem to feel pain at all.

"Good baby, get up and eat candy."

Li Ang asked Xiao Yin to help the little baby up and took out candy for the little baby to eat.

The puppy baby was still embarrassed and didn't dare to accept it, until his grandmother spoke, then he took the candy tremblingly, and carefully put it away, and then, still looking at the people around him in a daze.

"Old man, we haven't seen each other before, why do you say that I am the benefactor of your whole village?"

Li An asked very curiously.

The old lady hurriedly said: "The benefactor doesn't know, our village is not far from the south, it has always been a lot of people and little land, it is good to say in a good year, if it is a disaster year, it is sure to starve to death a lot of people, although the court will provide disaster relief, but the road is difficult, when the disaster relief rice grain of the court is sent down, many people have been starved to death, our old man is starved to death, he is not in good health, if he can last one more day, the disaster relief rice grain of the court can be delivered, hey! ”

After sighing, the old lady continued: "But now it's different, the benefactor has built a bridge here, even if there is a natural disaster in the future, the disaster relief rice and grain of the imperial court can be quickly transported to our village, usually, we can also go to the north bank of Ezhou City from the bridge, sell some local products or something, children can also go to the north bank to find work more conveniently, and it is too convenient to go to relatives, before, because of the need to cross the river, you can't go to relatives a few times a year, but now it's different, you can go to relatives every day, oops, this day is getting better and better." In the past, the people in our village could only eat one meal of meat a year, but now it is different, every family can eat meat two or three times a month, and people are more energetic than before, thanks to the benefactor! Without this bridge, our lives would not have been so good, and travel would not have become so convenient. ”

Don't look at this old lady is older, and she doesn't have much knowledge and culture, but when she talks, it's one by one, and she looks quite capable.

Ang Lee can even guess her profession, maybe she is a matchmaker, because this eloquence and look are really like a matchmaker.

After all, people's eloquence is generally practiced, only through continuous practice, people's eloquence can continue to improve, and the old lady in the countryside, there are not many opportunities to practice eloquence, only people in professions such as matchmakers, there are more opportunities to practice eloquence, and they can speak more decently.

The old lady said very clearly, and Li An naturally understood at once, it turned out that the village where the old lady was located was a poor small mountain village, and because Li An built the Ezhou Bridge, the village has undergone earth-shaking changes, and the lives of the common people have become much better than before, so Li An, who is responsible for building the bridge, is regarded as the great benefactor of their village.

If no one digs the well, the people around will not have the well water to eat, so when the draught is in the water, we should thank the people who dig the well, and in the same way, if there is no Li An in charge of building the bridge, the people in the nearby village will be difficult to live a good life, so they naturally have to be very grateful to Li Ancai, it is Li An's bridge-building action that gives them the premise of living a good life.

Li Ang chatted with the old lady for a while, and he understood the thoughts of the people at the bottom, although they have begun to get rich now, but they have not lost their conscience, and they are very grateful to the people who make them rich, and this gratitude is quite commendable, and it is also very likable.

Ang Lee was delayed for a long time at the bridge, and at the same time, it also delayed the grandchildren to hurry, so when leaving the bridge, Ang Lee asked the local officials to send the grandchildren in a horse-drawn carriage, so as not to get to where they were going after dark.

After getting on the train, Ang Lee and Li Hanlu were still talking about what had just happened, and the more they talked, the more interesting they felt.

It was only at this time that Li An really understood why Li Hanlu and the two had a sense of fate after seeing them once, because this was really interesting to their ancestors.

The train will be moving towards the predetermined destination at the established speed, and it will probably take many days to reach Chang'an City, but the news that Li An has returned to the mainland will be sent back to Chang'an City faster.

Because he is the soul of the industrialization of the Tang Dynasty, after learning of Li An's return, everyone attaches great importance to it, whether it is the nobles and officials of the imperial court, or ordinary people, they all regard this matter as the biggest talking capital, and the streets and alleys are full of news about Li An's return to the Tang Dynasty.

In addition to introducing Ang Lee's return to the Tang Dynasty, the newspapers and periodicals of Chang'an City publicly reported the fact that Ang Lee returned to the Tang Dynasty with headline news, and used a whole page of space, in addition to introducing Ang Lee's return to the Tang Dynasty, but also focusing on the important achievements of Ang Li in opening up the Maritime Silk Road in the south, as well as the admiration and attachment of overseas countries to the Tang Empire.

In short, the content of the newspapers and periodicals is all full of praise, not only blowing Li An's exploits to the sky, but also praising the emperor and nobles by the way, after all, the opening up of the maritime Silk Road in the south cannot be the credit of Li An alone, so many officials are working hard, and the emperor's support is also an important reason for the success of opening up the route, which is naturally meritorious.
