"You just said that the big river ferry in Puyang collapsed soon after it was newly repaired?" Chen Xu suddenly interrupted a middle-aged businessman.

"Yes, this is what happened in January, the big river crossing was originally completed in the winter of last year and took advantage of the dry season to rush to repair, both sides of the river are made of stones, and reinforced with reinforced concrete, but after the beginning of spring, the river thawed, a large number of steel, coal, stone and grain piled up on both sides began to cross the river for transshipment, as a result, the newly built wharf collapsed in less than half a month, it is said that several ships capsized at that time, countless people fell into the water, and a large number of goods also fell into the water...... Alas, heavy losses! Shang Jia sighed and shook his head after explaining.

"Xianyang has never heard of this matter, could it be that the construction team cut corners during the construction of the wharf?" Chen Xu's face instantly became a little difficult to look at.

"Lord Hou, it's not that the quality of the wharf construction is not good, a friend also has the loss of goods in that accident, I heard that after I went to see, the reinforced concrete of the wharf is sufficient, I heard that the local officials revealed, it may be because the wharf is not completely dry and solidified and solid, and the goods are too much and too heavy, hundreds of helpers go back and forth to get on and off the ship and carry and trample for days, the wharf is overwhelmed and collapsed more than ten zhang, and the ships and people who are loading and unloading the goods are instantly ......"

"Why did you activate it if you didn't do it?" Chen Xu's brows furrowed even higher.

"Hou Ye, you don't know how many goods are piled up on both sides of the river today, the steel, coal, stone, leather and wool in the north, the grain, salt, cloth, tea, wine, porcelain, and warehouses on both sides of the river have long been piled up, and the ice and snow are difficult to move in winter, so after the beginning of spring, all the merchants can't wait to start shipping, and they all want to sell at a good price in a hurry, the dock collapses and the cargo ship capsizes every year, and I have heard of many bigger accidents, this time it is not particularly serious, and Hou Ye does not need to be angry!" Shui Hong hurriedly opened his mouth to comfort Chen Xu.

"What the head of the water family said is right, Master Hou doesn't need to be angry, this matter happens every year, it's just that these people have bad lives!" Other businessmen shook their heads in agreement.

"Then do you think there is a way to solve this kind of accident?"

Chen Xu heard that this kind of thing happens every year, and he roughly understands when he thinks about it, even if the two wharves outside the south gate of Xianyang East Gate can often hear about the accident of cargo ship collision and capsizing, it is not uncommon for people and goods to fall into the water and do not know what happened.

In this era, no one will be responsible for these things, and everyone can only resign themselves to fate if something happens.

After a table of merchants slowly put down their wine glasses and chopsticks, looked at each other or pondered, a middle-aged man in his forties broke the silence and said, "Master Hou, in fact, the best way to solve this matter is to build a bridge......

"Repair the bridge, this is absolutely impossible!" The middle-aged man's words were interrupted before he could finish speaking.

"Yes, the big river is not a tributary of the Wei River and the Ba River, and it is completely impossible to build a bridge!"

"However, to build the bridge, you must find a wide place on both sides of the river, but the big river will flood in the summer, and all the dry docks will be submerged in it, Brother Xu has forgotten that the big river burst six years ago and flooded more than ten counties in the two counties of Qidong, the further downstream, the wider the river, not to mention the bridge repair, and the wharf is not used......

Fan Gong said well, today's big river, and the original Yu Emperor water control situation has been almost unrecognizable, there are Zhou history records, the largest one big river diversion occurred in the fifth year of Dingwang, the flood from Suxukou to take the river away, east to Luochuan, to Changshoujin and Luochuan divergence, north of the Zhanghe River, to Zhangwu into the sea, this new river in the south of the Yu River, the diversion is hundreds of miles. Six years ago, the big breach that flooded more than ten counties in the two counties of Qidong caused the river to move more than ten miles south......

A group of merchants who participated in the banquet were almost all from the big clans of the Central Plains for a long time, and at the same time, they had traveled the land of the Seven Kingdoms all the year round to do business, especially for this big river known as the mother river of China, so they almost unanimously opposed the proposal to build the bridge.

Because it's not a question of money, it's a matter of technology and the status quo.

From the perspective of everyone's cognition, the first is that it is impossible to build a bridge on the big river, the span is too large and too difficult, and it is almost impossible to complete this project against the sky, and the second is that the river channel is not fixed, and in the face of such a big river that will run by itself, the consequences of repairing the bridge are unpredictable.

"It's really too difficult to repair the bridge...... Chen Xu couldn't help but shake his head.

To build a cement and steel bridge across the Yellow River, let alone the present, even if it is another ten or twenty years, the technology will not be able to reach it.

After all, the Yellow River is so long, there are always some places where the river section is still relatively fixed, most of the diversion is the downstream section, the middle reaches are relatively stable, but the bridge span is too large when the biggest difficulty.

Without large-scale concrete construction machinery, how to build the bridge piers is an impossible task.

The bridge with a span of ten miles, according to the current level of bridge repair, at least more than a hundred piers are needed, Chen Xu made up for that scene, although he still had some expectations, but soon this idea was suppressed by the two villains who popped up in his mind and directly sacrificed the gossip array.

And hearing that Chen Xu also vetoed the proposal to repair the bridge, the middle-aged businessman also bowed his head with a shy face and stopped talking.

"It is not possible to repair the bridge at the moment, to solve this matter, we still need to find a way from the dock, and this matter still needs to be arranged for officials and craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry and the Academy of Sciences to go and check before making plans......" Chen Xu didn't know the specific situation, so he could only put this matter down for the time being.

"Did Master Hou say that there is still a way to build a bridge on the big river?" The middle-aged businessman suddenly looked up in surprise.

"Yes, open roads in the mountains and build bridges in the water, our Chinese ancestors slowly opened up traffic roads from the wilderness, and finally slowly converged into the prosperous and rich situation of my China today......"

Since the river is so difficult to cross, seriously hindering the traffic between the north and south of China, then repairing the bridge is definitely the best choice, and it is also the last inevitable choice, in this case, we should also start planning in advance, just wait for the time to complete this unprecedented feat......"

"Is it easy to do things in the world? For that, it is easy to make it difficult. If you don't, it's easy and it's hard. We live in this magnificent era, and there must be people who have the ambition to conquer the sky, and the angry sea and waves bind the dragon, how can we retreat because of a small river......"

"The Great River is not our goal, and it will not be long before you will know that Ben Hou has another huge plan, that is, to conquer all the rivers in the territory of Great Qin, and this is only the beginning, as a proud Great Qin people, our goal of conquest is the ...... of all continents and seas."

"Even the sun, moon and stars!"

Chen Xu's face was indifferent, and the full table of drinkers who only listened were dumbfounded, and at the same time, everyone felt that their hearts were beating non-stop, and the meridians of their bodies were swelling and trembling.

They all understand how difficult it is to build the bridge, no matter how difficult it is, it must be repaired in the end, but what is the goal of conquering the entire river of Daqin and conquering the four continents and seas?

And conquer the sun, moon and stars?! That...... Wouldn't they all become immortals......

Since Chen Xu's earth-shattering and incomprehensible words, the atmosphere on the entire wine table has become very weird, everyone has become cautious in discussing and talking, and Chen Xu's eyes have dodged and dare not look directly as they began.

Especially Fan Yan, Shui Hong and others, who have been dealing with Chen Xu for seven or eight years, think they know Chen Xu well, but when they eat together at this time, they find that the gap between the two sides is getting bigger and bigger.

When all the businessmen were still struggling with how to talk to Chen Xu about steel, cement, spinning and weaving and other businesses this time, they suddenly found that Chen Xu's eyes had long since stopped staring at the one-third of an acre of land in Daqin.

Is this still the black and thin boy who opened a Qinghe store in Wancheng and raised funds to prepare for Huaxia Qianzhuang?

Eight years have passed, Fan Yan is getting older and older, with snow-white hair and an old face showing the dull atmosphere of twilight, which is similar to the momentum when he first met Chen Xu eight years ago.

The last time he received a letter from Fan Caiying, after learning that Chen Xu was very dissatisfied with the Fan family, he decided to start following Chen Xu's instructions after a long time, after he decided to start following Chen Xu's instructions, after all, his arms can't twist his thighs, he wants to save the lives of the Fan clan, and he is also looking forward to Chen Xu's promise to him, what is the opportunity for the Fan family to truly become the top nobles of the Great Qin.
