In order to open to navigation before April next year, more than 20 construction sites along the Hongshui River started almost simultaneously. It is conceivable how strong the organizational skills are needed behind this, if it were not for the strong administrative ability of the civil officials of the Song Dynasty, Chen Ke and Shen Kuo's plans would not dare to spread such a big stall, no matter how thorough their plans were.

Its upstream project, also called the Nanpanjiang project, is mainly in the distance from Dongchuan to the mouth of the Sanjiang River, the construction of 47 steep gates, there are Shen Kuo's detailed drawings, and there are newly invented cement concrete, the difficulty of the project can be much smaller than that of the craftsmen of the Qin Dynasty when they repaired the spiritual canal.

They first built a dam in the upstream to hold back the water, so that the bottom of the river was exposed, and then hundreds of cement pillars, criss-crossed and forked tamping, inserted at the bottom of the dam, and then poured with concrete into a whole, this is the engineering method of repairing the seawall, so that here there is quite a suspicion of killing chickens with a knife, but it is a hundred times stronger than the traditional standing wood method, and is not afraid of being destroyed, so Chen Ke still risked being learned by the craftsmen, and adopted a new technology.

Of course, it is also possible that he deliberately wanted them to learn.

The Hongshui River project in the middle and lower reaches is not so simple. The Hongshui River Basin is the transition section from the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau to the Guangxi Plain, with a large drop in the water surface and dense dangerous shoals...... The boat is in the middle of the river, and the front and back can not look straight for three miles, and there are situations such as falling into the water, spraying, and rewinding, and its construction difficulty is not comparable to that of inland river engineering.

Among them, the most dangerous eight beaches or boulders are saggy, connecting both banks, or stacked with rocks, blocking the center of the river, most of the beach body waves are several miles long, the drop is as high as zhang, when the boat crosses these beaches in the past, or use a dry box, or set up a pole, more is to use bamboo and rattan to tie the boat and pull it over. In short, you can't go it alone.

On the banks of the Hongshui River, there were originally tribes that specialized in pulling fibers for a living, of course, it was inevitable to ask for a sky-high price, but there were still knocks and damages from time to time, and slightly larger boats could not pass.

Although he did not doubt the ability of Shen Kuo and Su Song, Chen Ke still ordered the underwriters not to blindly copy them, but to base them on practical difficulties. Pay attention to day and night, carefully plan, or adopt the law, or consult the public opinion, and the merit is adapted to the time and conditions! They are required to take different measures in different situations, for example, where the most dangerous beach is in the center of the rough waters and cannot be sailed, they will set up the box and pull rod in the past. Dams were built to force water, and the cliffs were burned and chiseled, and new boat routes were opened to avoid the danger of the middle stream.

As for the secondary dangerous beaches, it is also necessary to build a dam to force the water first, and chisel away the boulders that hinder ships on the surface and bottom of the water, so that the ship will not run into the reef; At the same time, scaffolding is erected on the cliffs on both sides of the river, and the high and low roads are chiseled, so that there can be slender men up and down the boats...... The so-called leading the way is the path that the slender men take when they pull the fiber. Encountering cliffs on both sides. When it is necessary to pull the fiber, it can only be carved out of the stone wall to lead the way.

Just by describing it, it makes people sweat, and the craftsmen who go to dig it themselves are directly sighing...... If it weren't for the discovery that the riverbed and the rocks on both sides of the river were limestone with little hardness, they wouldn't have done it if Chen Ke gave him no money.

Fortunately, in any case, the project is in full swing, and no matter how carefully prepared in advance, problems still arise one after another. Chen Ke and Shen Kuo as commanders-in-chief. Either on the river construction site or on the way to the construction site, solving various technical problems and coordinating various complex relationships. …,

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Fortunately, God willing, it rained too much last year, but this year there was a great drought, the river was extremely dry, and the water level was five or six zhang lower than in previous years. Under the action of one steep gate after another. In early spring, the middle and lower reaches were basically dried up, and all the dangerous shoals were exposed on the water and underwater beaches, which was very conducive to construction.

on the construction site. The shilling officials ordered the craftsmen to cut down the coal and burn the huge rocks with fire, because the limestone would decompose into quicklime when exposed to high temperatures, making it loose and crispy. As soon as the fire was extinguished, it was immediately hammered and chiseled, and it disintegrated. Moreover, quicklime is still a very consuming material, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

There are also those that do not need to be attacked by fire, craftsmen use iron drills to chisel small holes in the boulder, drive into the wooden wedges, and water them on them, and the force of the wooden wedges can swell and crack the stones by soaking them in water. In this way, large blocks of limestone are directly sent to be calcined with clay to prepare cement on site.

The boat roads they drove were all wide and deep from the beach near the water, leaving no trough, so that the upper and lower boats walked along the edge to avoid the danger of the flood in the middle of the river. At the same time, more than 20,000 zhang of road was carved out on the cliff of the bank. Its steep and dangerous places are all wrapped around the waist with hemp rope by craftsmen, suspended shovels and chisels, hammers, inch by inch to chisel out of stone cracks, and then inserted into the iron brazing frame, poured with cement, out of thin air to create a road......

There are more difficult situations, among which the management of Shuangyan Beach and Bad Beach is the most representative.

Shuangyantan is called the lock and key of the red water, the river highlights two mountains, like a double door, the water pours from it, falls several zhang, the waves sweep the north bank, the drum sprays high and has more than zhang, the current is swirling, and the danger is clustered! At first, it was planned to open a stone trough on the north shore and pull the boat up, but the actual operation found that the trough body was swept by the falling waves, the cliffs and rocks protruded, and it was impossible to go into the water.

As a last resort, the design was discussed again, and it was planned to dig a waterway with a length of 53 zhang, a depth of 2 zhang, and a width of 4 to 5 zhang on the south bank, so that the boats could pass up and down in parallel. But in this way, even if the limestone is easier to chise, the amount of work is too large, and naturally there are many people who oppose it.

In the end, Chen Keli overrode public opinion and ordered people to dig two tunnels of 50 zhang long side by side at a foot underground. Then they were filled with explosives, sealed with concrete, and detonated.

After the earth-shattering rumbling sound, it was a real earth-shaking earthquake! Countless stones, sand, and branches were sprayed into the sky, and the sky changed color, and then it rained earth and stones.

Although everyone retreated a mile away, they were still overturned, and when they settled down and went back to check, they found that a tunnel several feet wide and forty or fifty feet long had been blown out......

There is another place called the evil beach, it is the most dangerous beach in the middle reaches, the beach is five miles long, the dangerous waves such as sweeping the cliff, whirling, drumming and spraying are all prepared, and the danger is indescribable. Thanks to Shen Kuo, he created the method of building a round dam, chiseled away the big stones in the water, and the boat was pulled up from the north shore; Dozens of zhang of boulders on the south bank were also chiseled away by the method of a round dam, and a sub-river was opened to allow the upper and lower ships to pass......

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chen Ke stood on a boulder by the river, looking at the lively scene of thousands of people working the river. I saw countless stonemasons chiseling stones, and countless porters carrying loads of stones to the banks of the river. On the cliffs on the shore, high scaffolding, on which rows of artisans tie hemp ropes, pounding on the walls. The sound of chiseling stones, the trumpets of people working, and the rumbling sound of explosions were heard from time to time......

This hot scene deeply infected Chen Ke, and he exhaled a long breath and said: "A few months ago, this place was still huge and inaccessible, who would have thought that after only a few months, it would become such an exciting picture!" ”

Isn't Liu Yue'e deeply touched? She seemed to have comprehended Chen Ke's motives for tossing blindly...... He really didn't care what he could get, what he was more intoxicated with was the thrill of calling the wind and rain and making the world change because of him. …,

To put it bluntly, this is a narcissist who needs to be extraordinary all the time......

However, he does qualify as narcissism. Liu Yue'e secretly said in her heart: I don't know if there is a whimsical character like him in this world, but at the same time can be down-to-earth......

When she heard others commenting on the miraculous Hongshui River project, they all sighed at Chen Ke's generosity and spending, believing that the reason why the people maintained high morale was because of money. But Liu Yue'e knows best that spending money alone can't buy everyone's full effort!

She saw with her own eyes that everywhere she went, after handling official business, as long as she had time, Chen Ke would definitely go to the construction site, work with the people, and engage in the most tiring work of moving stones and carrying burdens, one person on top of two people.

The mountains in the middle reaches of the Hongshui River are high and cloudy, and it is rainy even in winter. From time to time, when a gust of wind passed, it rained intensively, and immediately soaked everyone's clothes on the construction site.

But because they have long been accustomed to the winter rain that stops and stops, the people still work in the rain and have no intention of stopping work. The officials were afraid that Chen Ke would be drenched, so they asked him to go up to shelter from the rain: "My lord, the rain is slippery, in case there is a bad thing, we can't afford it......"

"Don't worry about it, I'm in better shape than they are." Chen Ke's figure definitely stands out from the crowd. The officials wanted to persuade again, but he interrupted: "If you want me to rest early, just dodge aside!" ”

He was so stubborn, not only did the officials not understand, but the people didn't understand either, and they didn't dare to ask at first, but seeing that he was approachable, they boldly accosted him.

Chen Ke smiled: "No way, I blew the cowhide and said that it would be completed in one year." How can you do it without working hard? If you want to do it, I'll have to do it first! Let him say this, and the tension on the construction site has increased a lot. When it was time to start eating, I found that I had done half more than yesterday......

However, when Liu Yue'e asked Chen Ke privately, he replied: I did this, only half of it was for those people, and they were the least resistant to this kind of tune. The other half is for those who are in power...... The prime minister of the river is so anxious that he will go down to dig the stones himself, who of them dares to slack off on me?

"I knew your motives weren't pure, and you were too treacherous." Liu Yue'e said with a smile and disdain.

"To be an official is to put on a show, and the more official you are, the more serious you will be." Chen Ke smiled bitterly.

"Show?" Liu Yue'e was no longer surprised by the strange words that popped out of Chen Ke's mouth, she pretended to be joking: "So, you are also putting on a show when you talk to me?" ”

"How do you talk about this stubble?" Chen Ke really couldn't understand the jumping nature of women's thinking, so he had to answer: "I never put on a show when I treat my own life." ”

"I'm afraid you're too involved in the drama to tell whether you're acting or not." Liu Yue'e said softly.

"No, it won't." Chen Ke shook his head and said undoubtedly-
