A few people are excited, and finally have a job, it's not easy! The four siblings immediately ran to the shore and began to survey. Li Chengqian and Li Ke brothers didn't even learn basic mathematics well, how to understand this, although Li Tai kept up with Xiao Ruoyu in theory, he didn't practice it, so the three junior brothers followed Xiao Ruoyu in general. Xiao Ruoyu was very proud, and assured Wenyi that a 200-meter-long bridge was just a trivial matter, and one night was enough time to produce a picture!

Literature and art are very relieved, after all, he is a person who has participated in the construction of the Shanghai shipyard, so he began to arrange the material things, the cement is ready-made, the sand and stones are easier to get, and the labor of the thousand is not blown, and you can get enough sand and stones in one day. It takes some effort to reinforce the reinforcing steel, directly offering the banner of the Xiao family, and summoning the blacksmiths of the whole Jinling to build reinforcing steel all night. Mixing some more bamboo, wood should be enough.

The design of the bridge is very simple, a single-arch reinforced concrete bridge, 230 meters long and 20 meters wide, with construction on both sides of the river at the same time, using sectional pouring. Huaxia has a nickname called "infrastructure madness" in later generations, it turns out that this gene has been there since ancient times, and the bridge has been built in just five days. Hearing the news, the Jinling Thorn History was even more domineeringly named: "Jinling Bridge".

Seven days later, the cement had been finalized, and Wenyi went up to inspect it carefully before he was relieved to let the goods go. Half a month after the bridge was built, it had already alarmed the people of Jinling. Every day, hundreds of people come to watch the magical process of building the bridge. Waiting for the literary and artistic people to remove the wooden planks and thatching, a gray single-arch cement bridge was presented in front of everyone. The whole body is like one, and the people are boiling, and they have walked on the bridge to observe carefully. The history of Jinling thorns is not exempt from vulgarity, and he is surprised by the stains on the fence poured with cement: "Wen Gongzi is very capable!" Such a majestic bridge was built in less than half a month! Blessed are the people of Jinling! ”

Literature and art pouted, and the ruthless ridicule in his heart was another dirt bun. On the lips, all kinds of official politeness are gushing. I don't know which scholar clan this Jinling assassin surnamed Zhao is, and it is estimated that the background is not big, otherwise he would not be sandwiched between the Xiao family and the Xie family.

In the end, Wenyi sold the design of the Jinling Bridge to Zhao Tingshi at a price of 200,000 taels, so that he could replace all the old bridges in Jinling with new cement bridges.

200,000 taels were directly handed over to Xiao Zhe as payment, and the four of them continued on the road. I heard that Hebei had been recovered last year, Liu Heimin was captured, and Datang officially entered the stage of recuperation. Literature and art plan to go to Hebei first, so that these future princes can have a good look at how the local people who have been baptized by the war survive.

Next stop: Jinan, Shandong!

The straight-line distance from Jinling to Jinan is 1,000 miles, and the literature and art plan to take a month to complete. After passing the boundary of Jining, the road looks a lot bleak. Not to mention that there are almost no people sleeping in the open air, and they can also meet people fleeing the famine on the road. Xiao Ruoyu, as a girl, was very sad to see these people who were poorly clothed and hungry, and the three little ghosts were no better, and they seemed much quieter along the way.

One evening, Li Chengqian went for a walk alone in literature and art. Li Chengqian asked, "Master, why do you fight?" Is it just because of Emperor Yang of Sui's mediocrity? So wouldn't it be okay to choose another one to be the emperor? Why is there an eighteen-way anti-king? Why do you have to make the people miserable before you stop? ”

Wenyi thought for a long time before saying: "Because there is only one emperor, because the emperor's power is too great, life and death are as you please." If you look at Emperor Yang of Sui, you will know that he ordered tens of millions of people to dig a canal for him; Then he ordered ten thousand maidens to pull the boat for him; If you are unhappy, you can kill whoever you want, and you don't pay attention to the law and emotions at all. ”

Wenyi sighed and said: "People are selfish, and when they have the opportunity to win the throne, few people can resist the temptation of power." That's why they are desperate to start a war just to fight for that glimmer of hope. ”

Li Chengqian was silent for a long time before he said, "Is it just like my father?" is already the most noble person in the world, and he still has to fight. ”

Wenyi didn't expect Li Chengqian to think of Li Shimin, and said: "Since you know this, let's talk about the reason why your father is fighting for the throne." ”

Li Chengqian clenched his fists and said angrily: "What else can I do, I don't want to get that supreme right!" I don't even care about family affection. ”

Wenyi shook his head and said: "You misunderstood your father, originally His Majesty promised to make him the crown prince when he raised the army, but in the end he still established the current prince, and your father did not complain at all." But as his military exploits became higher and higher, the prince became more and more jealous of him. At first, the crown prince thought that your father would compete with him for the throne, so he began to attack your father constantly. So one person attacked, one person defended, and the two became incompatible. In fact, the most terrible thing is 'I think', your father originally didn't have the heart to fight for the throne, but the prince thought he would, so he really wanted to fight. You have to bear in mind that you must not have a mind of 'I think', this is very scary. ”

Li Chengqian nodded solemnly, and Wenyi continued: "When the throne of the Sui Dynasty was alternated, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty killed his brother's entire family, do you know? ”

Li Chengqian nodded again, and literature and art continued: "So, the prince also wants to kill your whole family to prevent future troubles." Do you think your father will be tied up or will he give it a go? ”

Li Chengqian was shocked and said, "How is it possible? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will kill us? ”

Wenyi nodded and said, "You and your father will definitely die, and he won't worry if he doesn't die." In the same way, if your father wins, he will kill his entire family. This is the struggle for power, and it is so cruel. ”

Li Chengqian suddenly cried: "Master, I don't want to die, and I don't want to admit that they are dead." Master, try to find a way to save us! ”

Wenyi said: "So I accepted you as apprentices." And you will not die, and your father will win this battle. I am not worried about your safety at all, but I am afraid that the tragedy of killing your brother will also happen among your brothers. This return to Chang'an is also for this, and I have to start preparing. ”

Li Chengqian wiped his tears and said: "Master, I know you must have a plan, and I also want to make a contribution, I will not allow the killing of each other to happen in our Li family!" ”

Wenyi stared at Li Chengqian and felt that this little ghost seemed to have matured a lot, and after thinking for a while, Wenyi decided to reveal the plan to him: "I have a plan, which is very big and takes a long time, and I need a bold person to help me complete it." You're a good candidate, but are you sure you want to get involved? ”

Li Chengqian wiped away his tears and saluted solemnly to Wenyi and said, "Please be gracious, master!" Disciple willing! ”
