Kite had already prepared dinner, and had been patrolling outside the kang room for a long time, knowing that it was warm inside, but she didn't dare to call the door, until Li Zicheng cleaned up neatly and came out hand in hand with Tian Fen, she greeted her, "Governor, madam, dinner is ready!" ”

Li Zicheng saw her flushed face and knew that she had been waiting for a long time, so he snorted and said, "It just so happens that we are also hungry, Fen'er, let's see what delicious Kite has made!" ”

Tian Fen could naturally see the doorway, and glanced at Li Zicheng, but he hid behind him, and he didn't dare to meet Kite for a while.

After dinner, Li Zicheng squeezed on the hot kang bed, and cleaned up Tian Fen Jiao# panting, but it was a pity that he had been busy serving their kites, but he couldn't get the rain and dew even.

After working hard for half a night, accumulating more than half a month's of fresh water, all of it was released, and Tian Fen was watered to the fullest, full, Li Zicheng did not feel tired, but was more energetic, the sky was slightly bright, so he got up and took He Xiaomi and others, ran around Qingshui City in the cold wind for a week, until he sweated slightly, and then returned to the central office.

Tian Fen had already gotten up and had just finished freshening up, so he was going to serve Li Zicheng with full enthusiasm to wash his face, wipe his sweat, change his clothes, and bring out the breakfast prepared by the kite, and accompany Li Zicheng to eat.

Li Zicheng is used to hard work, but in life, he has always been served by Song Yulian and them, and he has been accustomed to the days of "clothes to stretch out his hands and food to open his mouth", and he sighed secretly in his heart, or the future generations said well, as long as a man waits for a woman's body, he can say anything.

It's just that I pity Kite, who is busier than Fen'er, but she doesn't get anything, she can only watch from the side, camping tonight, no matter what, let her taste some sweetness, once she returns to Xining, she will have to stand next to the side.

This journey to the west is a long journey, but fortunately, Tian Fen has learned to ride a horse, she has already packed up, and the things she carries with her are only wrapped in cloth and rested on the back of a white horse.

But Kite doesn't know how to ride a horse, Li Zicheng originally planned to leave her in Qingshui County and temporarily live in Han Shanbo's house in Zhixian County, but Kite is not only Tian Fen's maid, she has already used it, and it is not suitable to stay in Han's house alone.

There is no way, Li Zicheng helped the kite onto his war horse and held it in his arms, the yellow-maned horse originally had good foot strength, but the kite was only seventy or eighty pounds, and it should not be difficult to carry it.

The kite was so ashamed that her face was flushed, and she didn't even dare to raise her head, but she just secretly looked at Tian Fen from the corner of her eye, Li Zicheng saw it, and said in her heart: What are you afraid of, there is something more intimate than this at night!

In front of his own soldiers, he rarely became a righteous gentleman, Li Zicheng's left hand passed under the armpit of the kite, holding the reins of the horse, but he just wrapped his right hand around her thin waist, so as not to run the horse and the kite to sit unsteadily.

Tian Fen was not as stingy as Kite imagined, and was not worried about Kite riding a horse for the first time, but urged Li Zicheng to hug him tighter, lest Kite fall off the horse.

All the way to the evening, only to rush to Shandanshui, here is far from Ningyuan County, but more than ten miles, no accident, before dark, you can rush to the county.

Li Zicheng was about to cross the river, but he was surprised to find that on the surface of the Shandan River, a stone bridge flew out obliquely, connecting the east and west banks.

The stone bridge is rounded in shape, with a convex middle and a smooth surface, which is a rainbow if it is clothed in color.

"Huh, what's going on? The last time I passed through the Shandan River, there was no such stone bridge, could it be that John Tang wanted their masterpiece? ”

Li Zicheng jumped off the war horse, hugged the kite down, walked to the stone bridge on foot, and took a closer look, it was indeed a cement bridge!

The entrance of Shandan water into Weishui is narrower than Zhangshui, Li Zicheng visually estimated, it should not be more than 20 meters, so there are no bridge piers in the river, which greatly saves the construction time.

No wonder John Tang poured the Zhangshui Bridge after they poured it, and then poured the Shandan Water Bridge!

The surface of the concrete bridge has been hardened and appears blue-white, and when you step on it, you will leave a clear footprint, but the soles of your feet are extremely hard.

Li Zicheng didn't know the exact time of pouring, let alone whether the bridge deck could be passed, and when he was hesitating, he suddenly saw a few heads on the bridge deck, obviously a few passers-by.

The head was getting higher and higher, and several people were talking as they walked, and after a while, they reached the highest point in the middle of the bridge.

When a few people saw the cavalry, they were taken aback, stopped unconsciously, and looked at it, it turned out to be Li Zicheng, and hurriedly knelt on the bridge deck, "The villain knocks on the governor!" ”

He Xiaomi didn't know who it was, so he took two steps closer to Li Zicheng's body, and shouted, "Who are you?" ”

Several people were trembling, and one of them said: "We are prisoners of war under Liu Taiqing, Wei, Taozhou, and we are ordered to inspect the Shandan Water Bridge!" ”

It turned out to be a road construction team, no wonder you know yourself! Li Zicheng put his mind at ease and asked them to get up, "Shandan Water Bridge, how long has it been poured?" ”

"Back to the Grand Duke, the bridge was poured ten days ago!"

"Ao," Li Zicheng nodded and said, "In your opinion, is the bridge passable normally?" ”

"Back to the Metropolitan Governor, pedestrians can pass, but whether war horses can pass, I really don't know!"

Li Zicheng understood that they were only ordered to maintain the bridge, and it was naturally impossible to know too much about technical work, so he said, "Where is Mr. Tang now?" ”

"Mr. Tang went to Lanzhou after the bridge was watered, and five days ago, Mr. Lu Rongda and Mr. Yu Xiao also went to Lanzhou, leaving only the villain to guard the bridge until the cement was completely condensed!"

"Lanzhou?" Li Zicheng remembered that when he crossed the Yellow River eastward, he once asked Tang Ruowang to inspect the Yellow River to see if he could build a bridge on the Yellow River, because the Yellow River was too wide, Tang Ruowang could not complete it, and now that the cement bridge came out, did he Lu Rongda and Yu Xiao go to the Yellow River to investigate?

The destination of his trip is Lanzhou, and he should be able to meet them very openly.

Li Zicheng was not sure whether the war horses could pass on the cement bridge, and the quality of the current cement was difficult to match that of later generations, so he asked the soldiers to carry the war horses across the river, and he led Tian Fen and the kite to slowly get on the cement bridge.

Tian Fen had never heard of a cement bridge, not even cement, she lifted the hem of her robe with one hand and stepped on the bridge deck with her little feet, "Governor, when I passed by last time, there was no bridge here...... This stone bridge is very strange, hey, the bridge deck looks like a complete mountain rock, what a big piece of mountain rock......"

He Xiaomi not only laughed out loud, but when he saw Tian Fen looking back, he hurriedly lowered his head and pretended not to hear anything.

"Fen'er, this is not a stone bridge," Li Zicheng corrected: "This is called a cement bridge, which is made of a kind of thing called cement, as long as the quality is qualified, it is extremely convenient to pass." ”

"Cement...... Governor, what is cement? The kite looked up, her face flushed from the cold, but she was still very excited, and she didn't know if it was because of the cement bridge she had never seen before, or because of something else.

"Cement...... In short, it is a material for building roads and bridges," Li Zicheng couldn't explain clearly for a while, so he diverted the topic, "If there are enough manpower, it will only take four or five times to pour such a cement bridge." ”

In fact, the length of the Shandan Water Bridge is not, it is twenty or thirty meters, because there are no piers, watering the bridge deck should not take half a day, the key is to water between, you need to use trees to build a template, the time to build the bridge, mainly on the construction of the template.

Tian Fen's small mouth suddenly opened round, as if he was holding a boiled pigeon egg, until he reached the top of the cement bridge, and then he came to his senses, "Dadu Governor, in the future, build a bridge like this on the Datong River, and it will be easier to pass on both sides of the river!" ”

The construction of a bridge over the Datong River is indeed convenient for passage, but the biggest pressure Li Zicheng is facing now is still in the military, especially after the Longyou in the machine.

His energy is mainly invested in the military, whether it is grain or silver, that is, the cement avenues and bridges built this time are also for the convenience of transporting materials, and it is really for the people, and it must be brought after military stability.

Building a bridge on the Datong River can strengthen the connection between Haomen County and Beichuan County and Xining Prefecture, and can quickly transport the grain produced in Haomen County to Xining, but both sides of the Datong River are canyon structures, the riverbed is very deep, and the river bank is particularly steep, so it is extremely difficult to irrigate the bridge piers.

But he didn't want to disappoint Tian Fen, after all, it was her home, so he said: "If you have time in the future, let Mr. Tang go and see if you can build a bridge on the Datong River!" ”

Tian Fen only said that Mr. Tang is omnipotent, since the governor agreed, there should be no technical problems, the cement bridge is stable, so he let go of Li Zicheng's big hand, and scurried around on the cement bridge like a butterfly, but it was a kite, who had been holding hands with Li Zicheng, smiling lightly, extremely indifferent, if it weren't for clothes, Tian Fen seemed to be a maid waiting for her.

Li Zicheng originally rushed to see the Zhangshui Bridge, but he didn't expect to see it in Shandanshui, so he looked at the Shandanshui Bridge carefully, and always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

"Madame, beware of falling overboard!"

Li Zicheng turned around and saw that it was Tian Fen, she was out of her control, came to the bridge, looked down, and the call of the kite made him realize.

Yes, guardrails are missing! I always felt that the bridge deck was obedient just now, and this is the reason!

How to have the protection of the guardrail on the bridge deck, walking on the cement bridge deck, you can see what you want, maybe this will be a rare scenic spot for tourists.

"You stand on the bridge and look at the scenery / The people watching the scenery look at you under the bridge \ / The bright moon decorates your windows \/ You decorate other people's dreams!" Li Zicheng remembered this impressionist poem for no reason.

I just don't know if the guardrails can be installed on the Shandanshui Bridge, even if it is wooden, and the bridge must be added when the bridge is designed in the future.

The soldiers had already crossed the Shandan River, and Li Zicheng saw that it was getting late, so he remounted his horse, hugged the kite, and headed towards Ningyuan County.

After the Shandanshui Bridge, all the way to Ningyuan County, the cement avenue has been seamlessly connected with the cement bridge, Li Zicheng said: "Once the spring warms, we must speed up the construction of the cement avenue, there are so many free prisoners of war, at most half a year, the road from Lanzhou to Guguan will be connected to the whole line." ”

I don't know what happened to John Tang, if they can build a bridge over the Yellow River, the cement avenue must be extended to Xining.

Li Zicheng thought like this, and didn't notice it for a while, squeezing the jade peak on the kite's chest to a serious deformation.

The kite was in pain and almost shed tears, but Tian Fen was by her side, she didn't dare to make a gesture, so she had to cry and said weakly: "Dadudu, you hurt the slave!" ”
