Chapter 256: The Bridge is Completed
Li An feels that he is not living in the same world, everything in Zhangjiacheng is unbelievable, all the way over, the houses he sees are all red brick houses, this kind of house can only be built by rich people in Yuezhou City, but the houses here, it seems that all of them are red brick houses, and there is not a single grass house in sight, is it that the people here are so rich that everyone can live so well, and the poor can live so well!
I can't see a beggar all the way, this! Li Anxin's shock began to numb.
Because of the increase in population, it was no longer possible to ride horses, and everyone was leading the horses, and in curiosity, Li An asked Zhang Yuan next to him. "Brother Zhang Yuan, how did you see the house, not everyone will live in such a good house!"
Because Zhang Yuan felt good to Li An all the way, and he didn't want to be as vicious as the anti-thief that Di Bao said, Li Ang was closer to Zhang Yuan. Called Zhang Yuan a brother, Zhang Yuan naturally couldn't hear the changes, and when he heard Li An ask, he answered him by the way, "Of course not." ”
Ang Lee: "What do you say? ”
Zhang Yuandao "These houses need to be bought with silver coins, and the people who just came here must not have silver coins to buy, so they can only live in a collective house, which can accommodate fifty people, and the environment is average." If you look at the brick houses in that area, the price of a house is between thirty and fifty silver. The people who just came had the money. ”
For Zhang Yuan to say a new word from time to time, Ang Lee is numb, what is the silver coin? Zhang Yuan explained, "Silver coins are made of silver, a silver coin is a tael of silver, but silver coins are more beautiful, and we all use silver coins here." After speaking, he took out a silver coin and shook it, Li An glanced at it, and saw that the silver coin on the surface exuded a silver-white luster, and the size of a round copper coin was much better than the silver taels of the imperial court.
As for the anti-thief minting currency privately, Ang Li didn't bother to pay attention to it, anti-thief, what is the private coinage, it's strange not to do it!
Ang Lee was curious, "Such an expensive house, can ordinary people buy it?" ”
Zhang Yuan: "Hehe, isn't it just dozens of silver coins, ordinary people do things here, there are normally three silver coins a month, and the house can be paid in installments, not at a time, it can be divided into three or five years, and it is not a problem for a few people to buy a house." ”
Li An opened his mouth again, "You said that ordinary people have three silver coins to do things, this is impossible." ”
Zhang Yuan smiled and didn't explain, this is just the minimum monthly money standard in Zhangjiacheng, for example, himself, as a squad leader of the scouts, even if he doesn't go out to fight for a month, there will be nine silver coins in total, if he goes out to fight, it will be more, during the last time he went out to fight, he was rewarded with forty-seven silver coins for his merits, and Li An was surprised by the three silver coins of ordinary people, and his income was embarrassed to say it, for fear of scaring this official turtle.
The turtle is used very frequently in Zhangjiacheng, which is a kind of ridicule of the "old man" to the newcomer, which means that the newcomer has little knowledge of Zhangjiacheng, and has not seen the world of Zhangjiacheng.
Li An followed and walked on the road, looking at those people, now he knows why he rarely sees the people, most of those people were arrested in Zhangjiacheng, after the people were arrested, they were attracted by the rich life here, and they were reluctant to leave, Li An learned a lot of things from Zhang Yuan, knowing that the people here have three meals a day, and they are full, so it is no wonder why the people are reluctant to leave after coming, Li Anxin knows that if he is also arrested, most of them choose the same as everyone else.
"Shhh
Li An looked at the scene in the distance, gasped, seeing it from such a distance, how high is it, isn't such a tall building afraid of collapsing!
What Li Ang saw was a building under construction, Chen Zijian specially built it, it was not of much use for the time being, it was used to highlight the strength of Zhangjiacheng, the design of the building was 38 floors, about 135 meters high, as for whether it could not be built, there is no need to worry about this.
Although the quality of the cement produced now is much worse than that of later generations, the buildings built of reinforced concrete, as long as sufficient materials are used, there will be no problems.
The cement used in the building is produced by Chen Zijian's own factory, and the quality is not problematic. With reinforced concrete, it is not a problem to build dozens of floors.
The purpose of the building is to view the scenery, and when the building is completed, the people stand in the building more than 130 meters high, looking at the surrounding environment, whether they recognize the strength of Zhangjiacheng from their hearts.
What Li An saw was the skeleton of the building under construction, which had been built for fifteen floors, and the exterior wall had not yet been bricked, and many people could be seen busy, the height of the fifteen-story building, more than fifty meters, such a height could make Li An feel incredible, before the reinforced concrete came out, there had never been a tall building, it was good to have twenty meters, seeing the height of fifty meters, Li An's was normal anyway.
In the face of the new things that continue to appear in Zhangjiacheng, Li An no longer knows what to say, here he sees the strength of Zhangjiacheng, no matter from that aspect, when it comes to the army, ordinary people can eat well, not to mention the army, Li An heard Zhang Yuan say that the volunteer army is the most powerful force in Zhangjiacheng, how Zhang Yuan will not say much, but from the last official fiasco, more than 30,000 people were defeated, and no more than 1,000 people can return to Yuezhou City in the end, and it is not a problem for Zhangjiacheng to pull up tens of thousands of people here. is still the kind of strong anti-thief, I heard that there are artillery, fire command, and the government sends people over There is not much chance of winning.
Look at the smiles of the people around them living and working in peace and contentment, so that they don't have to think about the matter of being under the jurisdiction of the government when they go back, the people are living so well here, can they live so well when they leave here! The people's hearts are no longer in the government.
In the government building, Zhang Yuan entered to report the situation, and soon Li An was taken to see Zhang Youde, the No. 2 person in Zhangjiacheng, who held a high position here.
Zhang Youde: "You were sent by the prefect and want to see the chief?" ”
Ang Lee: "This is a letter from the prefect to the big boss!" ”
Zhang Youde took it and didn't open it, "The chief is not here today, I won't watch it, wait for the chief to come back and make a decision, Zhang Yuan!" ”
Zhang Yuan Lizheng: "Yes, Scout Captain Zhang Yuan." ”
Zhang Youde: "Your task is accomplished. ”
Zhang Yuan: "Yes, sir, then I'll go back and report." ”
Zhang Youde: "Xiaoshan, come here, take this envoy to the guest house, and there is no need to restrict his freedom." "Just such a person, Zhang Youde is not afraid of anything from the other party, and he came here as a messenger.
Zhang Xiaoshan came over and asked Li An to leave and arrange it in the guest house, the guest house is usually used to entertain the volunteers, and there are some things that the volunteers want to communicate with Zhang Youde, and what materials are needed to send people over, which requires a place to stay, and the guest house appears.
It's okay in the guest house, Ang Lee goes out for a stroll by himself, there is no one else around him, and the anti-thief leader doesn't know when he will come back, and it is not up to him to decide when he can give a response.
The anti-thief leader that Ang Lee wanted to meet celebrated the official completion of the Zhangdian Bridge by the river.
The bridge designed and built by Chen Zijian before was officially named Zhangdian Bridge, which means very simple, that is, the meaning of the bridge from Zhangjiacheng to Dianbai County.
Early in the morning, Chen Zijian received news from Li Yunzi that the bridge has been completed, before Chen Zijian said that he would come to congratulate him in person after the completion of the bridge.
With the completion of the construction of the bridge, the road was officially completed, and the highway could be completed so quickly, because there were more than 50,000 people built at the same time, and the Zhangdian Highway was divided into thousands of road sections, and then the construction was carried out at the same time, and the land paving was completed in just one month.
Li Xian and the others looked at the bridge in front of them, gasping for air, the length of the river is at least a few tens of meters away, how to build the bridge on such a wide river, they have a little experience in leading the troops, and they are laymen in the construction of the bridge.
Chen Zijian came over, a mighty group of people, on the bridge Li Yunzi asked people to buy a lot of flags, planted on the fences on both sides, with the strong sound of the wind.
The diversion river excavated before the bridge was built has been refilled, the retaining wall in the river has been removed, and the river water has flowed normally from the original channel, except for the addition of a majestic bridge of this era on the river surface.
So the employees who built the bridge were already waiting at the bridge, and when they saw Chen Zijian coming, Li Yunzi took the lead in applauding, because he had inquired and Chen Zijian was good about this.
Chen Zijian took out a horn, and only the horn could make everyone hear what he said.
"Everyone, the Zhangdian Bridge is officially completed, I thank you for your work, come here today, in addition to watching the majestic bridge built by you, I also bring you a small red envelope, this is my reward for everyone to be able to complete the bridge so quickly."
Hearing that everyone can have a red envelope, the applause is even more enthusiastic, more than 5,000 people were employed before and after the construction of the bridge, including logistics personnel, and the bridge can be completed according to the process designed by Chen Zijian, Chen Zijian is already very satisfied.
There are two firecrackers hanging on the bridge, Chen Zijian came over, there is a gong at the head of the bridge, Chen Zijian stepped forward, took a stick head, hammered it up, and made a loud sound.
"Bang bang."
Then firecrackers rang out, and the scene was lively.
Chen Zijian took the lead and walked across the newly built bridge, and a reinforced concrete bridge appeared on the land of Daming. In addition to the bridge is easy to cross the river, there is also a strong Zhangjiacheng, come here, don't say anything, look at the bridge to know the strength of Zhangjiacheng, there are some things that need to be shown to outsiders.
The completion of the Zhangdian Bridge can allow the meat and soap produced in Dianbai County to be transported by carriage within two hours, the significance of which is needless to say, reduce consumption, accelerate the circulation of materials, and accelerate the pirates in Dianbai County to rob, and the volunteers of Zhangjiacheng Barracks can arrive in a short time, and in this era, they can reach the battlefield within two hours, which is already considered to be fast.
Looking at the river below on the bridge, Li Xian and a few people who followed him were amazed.
Chen Zijian: "Li Yunzi, as I said before, after the construction of the bridge is completed, I will give you a reward, go back to Zhang Youde to ask for it, and the Huaqiao Bureau will be handed over to you in charge in the future, do a good job." ”
Huaqiao Bureau, the construction bureau separated from the road construction, the full name is Huaxia Bridge Construction Bureau, and its status is officially equal to that of China Construction Bureau.
Li Yunzi thanked him, if it weren't for Chen Zijian's dislike of kneeling, he might have knelt down for Chen Zijian.
Li Yunzi officially took over the Huaqiao Bureau from a steward of Li Zhuer's family, and it is self-evident how much power there is, Zhangjiacheng will not only build a bridge, and his power will be even more improved in the future.
can have this opportunity, Li Yunzi can be regarded as the ancestral tomb is smoking.
Li Yunzi had already prepared a banquet, just waiting for Chen Zijian to come over, and after the bridge opening ceremony, Li Yunzi invited Chen Zijian and everyone to take a seat, and started a banquet for 10,000 people by the river, Chen Zijian naturally would not refuse Li Yunzi's arrangement.
At the wine table, Li Xi held a wine glass and said, "Mr. Li, I admire a talented person like you the most, such a majestic bridge can be done well, come on, come, I will toast you." ”
For Li Shi, Li Yunzi heard Li Zhuer say that this is the first general under Chen Zijian, I heard that the first to follow Chen Zijian, and now the volunteer army in charge of a legion, can be described as a high power, this is a big man in Zhangjiacheng.
"The general is polite, this is the credit of the chief, I am just in charge of the on-site execution." After speaking, he put a glass of wine down, and then Li Hu and a few people toasted, all of them were Chen Zijian's generals, and Li Yunzi saluted one by one.
Chen Zijian was holding a big lobster next to him, twisting his head, eating shrimp meat, Li Shi and the others knew that Chen Zijian was not interested in wine, so they simply ignored him, they were familiar with Chen Zijian's temper, and knew that this would not make Chen Zijian angry.
The table is full of seafood, Chen Zijian eats very happily, as for those drunkards, they are too lazy to care, this is Chen Zijian's temper, he is a big man, he can do whatever he wants.
