Chapter 372: Bridge Cheng

The bridge is finally built, it can be passed, the answer is no, even the boatmen on the side of the ferry are waiting to go on the bridge to collect fees, they are fed up on the river, in the event of a windy day, a careless, will capsize, but the people who cross the river do not understand, no matter what the weather has to cross the river, and even take the money to smash them across the river, now there is finally hope, can have a stable job, and is not affected by the wind and rain.

In fact, these boatmen received a notice from Li Xiancheng half a year ago, saying that they would continue to ferry for a period of time, and when the bridge was completed, they would let them go on the bridge to collect fees, the cost of crossing the bridge was the same as the cost of the ferry, however, half of it needed to be handed over to Yang Heng, at first these boatmen were not very happy, but after Li Xiancheng carefully calculated for them, they felt that they actually made money, and they didn't need to bring anything to make money, and they didn't need to maintain the boat, but there was a special person responsible for maintaining the bridge. Yang Heng just couldn't bear to see that they had no career, otherwise this kind of good thing would be their turn, besides, since this period of time, there have been more people crossing the river, but there are also more boats, and they all want to earn this money, but Li Xiancheng did not let the people added later also go to the bridge to collect fees, his explanation is that the prosperity of this section of the road is because of Yang Heng, Yang Heng will not invest in some additional people.

But why can't the bridge be passable? In fact, it is very easy to understand, the dug river has not been filled in, and some people say, don't fill it, and build a bridge on it, and the middle island is also a tourist destination.

However, Yang Heng does not agree with this opinion, why, first of all, this place is relatively remote. In the distance is a small village. There are many people in the village who make a living from fishing. Naturally, there are a few ferrymen, ferrymen, that is an ancestral profession, in this remote place, they actually don't make much money, sometimes no one passes through the whole day, but since Yang Heng came, the number of pedestrians slowly began to increase. The people with brains in the village began to use their brains, and they also bought boats to ferry, and even their fees were much higher, it can be seen that the relatively wealthy families of these people are at least a small family family, otherwise how can ordinary people say that they bought a boat, and they bought a boat, this is also the person Yang Heng asked Li Xiancheng to prevent at the beginning, and it is impossible for such people to let them go to the bridge to collect fees.

It's easy to dig a river. It's a lot harder to fill in, especially for diversion. The gap between the river and the route is long, so what should I do?

Piling, is in the process of filling with the way to fix the sandbags, so that every few piles, fill in some sandbags, the mouth is smaller, slowly this opening gathers, what, use people to pull the wall, pull it, people can block the force of the river, and at this time blocking the main river Some of the sandbags have been dragged out, just used to fill this opening, some can not be pulled out, can only let the river wash them away, in short, the main river section of the block has been opened, at this time the flow of the river is also much smaller.

However, Yang Heng still didn't expect how troublesome it would be to fill in this newly dug river. After Yang Heng urgently transferred hundreds of timbers, the hole was finally filled, and Yang Heng also secretly wiped a handful of sweat, it is not easy, who makes the current technique unattainable, and also, no matter how big the river is, it can't build a bridge like this, the amount of work is too large, especially some bridges are in prosperous places, and then it is impossible to open a river like this, and the consumption is not low this time, not only the cost of building a bridge, but even the cost of land acquisition.

The road is to build a new road on the basis of the old road, and the excavation of the river to divide the water cannot be carried out on the ownerless land, fortunately, these lands on the side of the river are not particularly good lots, Yang Heng only spent a small amount of money to buy the land, that is to say, Yang Heng also joined the army of annexing the land, however, this place, it is impossible not to buy, if you say that I rent for a year to dig a river, then who will want to rent it to you.

When Yang Heng bought this land, the surrounding people were enthusiastic to sell the land to Yang Heng, why, mainly because this place belongs to some sandy land, don't think about high crop yield without big fertilizer, and even some sections of the road belong to several large households, when they heard that someone bought land, it was the first to take a hand.

But fortunately, Yang Heng didn't say the idea of digging a temporary river, but after Yang Heng dried them for a while, he dropped some prices on the basis of the original price and bought the land, which means that they didn't hold Yang Heng, but let Yang Heng hold them.

In fact, they were also influenced by Yang Heng's purchase of those wastelands in the county seat, thinking that Yang Heng was also going to plant some mysterious crops here, so they were waiting to see Yang Heng's liveliness.

"Alas, why didn't I think that he was digging a water-dividing river, otherwise I would have sold this land for ten times the price, all of which would have been lost, lost." One of the big men patted his thigh and only shouted that he was losing, because he had long heard that Yang Heng was going to build a bridge on the river, but he had seen the small bridges built by Yang Heng before, on the river more than ten meters wide, just make a bridge pier on both sides of the riverbank, and then put the iron frame up, this is a strong iron bridge, they even think that this is also the construction method on this river, but they don't want to think about it, such a wide river, can directly build a bridge on the top of the iron bar.

"Lang Jun, what are you going to do in this large area, is it also planting cotton?" This is not an acre or two acres of land, but a section of road that is several miles long and nearly 200 meters wide.

"No, I'm going to build a market here, and a wharf, and then I'm going to let them pass through this place by ship, road, or even rail, so it's best to build a market here."

Why does Yang Heng have this confidence, the river was excavated in front of him, just for the expansion of the bridge in the future, Yang Heng also wants to make the bridge pier into a double part, although there is an idle one, but when it is used, you only need to use the boat to build a shelf, and build a bridge on it, when this land is leveled out, Yang Heng suddenly had an idea, maybe it is okay to let the railway pass through here, look at this river, at least within a hundred years, the big ship can sail, in this way, this is the three forks of the road, the railway and the waterway, Even this place can build a large railway marshalling station, you must know that this place will be very prosperous for a long time in the future, first of all, Yang Heng's auction of those convenient cooked food techniques, has allowed the wealthy people to take advantage of the shipping in this place is quite busy, as well as Changle and Yuzhang's wool products, and later cotton products, as well as the grape industry, which proves that this place will be quite prosperous, if you put wine, and wool products, Cotton products are stored in the warehouse here, so the place will be more prosperous.

"Go, call Li Xiancheng, and I'll give him another task."

What kind of task, naturally it is to set up a bridgehead security point here, this is also a new term, and it is also for the new county order to be approved under unknown circumstances, you said that if it is only for a bridge, it is approved to arrange ten officials here, and even a few tax collectors are here, what will he think, naturally it depends on Li Xiancheng's joke, he approved it is easy to say, and the next big move will surprise him.

"Li Xiancheng, freshman, I'll leave it to you here, I'm going back, remember, this market wharf, and even the warehouse must be established before the end of this year, seeing that this cotton is about to be harvested, I think those cotton peaches are growing well."

"Don't worry, Lang Jun (Lang Jun), we will definitely build this place."

While talking to these two people, Yang Heng suddenly thought of one thing, that is, so much cotton, can people pick it? When I go back, I have to discuss it with Changle, and then let those palace maids help pick it, and even promote the marriage of some palace maids. (To be continued......)
