Chapter 485 The Bridge Builder

Yu Wenkai's death is not a good thing for Yang Ming, because when the Liao River is crossed in the future, who will repair the pontoon bridge?

Historically, after Yu Wenkai dropped the chain, it was Taifu Temple Cheng He Chou who made up for it, and in two days, the pontoon bridge for the army to cross the river was repaired.

He Chou is not a Han Chinese, he is a Sogdian, one of the nine surnames of Zhaowu, Zhaowu City is now Zhaowu County, Zhangye County, during the Han Dynasty, it was broken by the Xiongnu, so the Sogdians began to leave their homeland and migrate around.

The nine surnames of Zhaowu are Kang, An, Cao, Shi, Mi, Shi, He, Mu, An Lushan and Shi Siming, who are Sogdians.

During the Northern Wei Dynasty, it was an era of ethnic integration, and He Chou's family entered the Central Plains from that time, and worked as an official and business in the Liang Dynasty, which was regarded as serving the Xiao family.

This nation is known as the Jews of the East, good at business, and has long controlled the Silk Road and the reselling trade in the Hexi Corridor, and they are doing most of it.

At present, He Chou, was named the inspection school Taifu Siqing by Yang Ming, and went to Xiangguo County, Hebei Province to burn porcelain, this person is absolutely capable, after the death of Yang Guang in history, he gave Yu Wenhua and Dou Jiande to do the Ministry of Works, and after entering the Tang Dynasty, he will be a young craftsman.

As soon as Yu Wenkai dies, this person is very likely to be responsible for building the pontoon bridge.

Because He Chou was responsible for the construction of Yang Jian's and his wife's Tailing and the preparation of the funeral of the two, and Yang Jian entrusted He Chou to Yang Guang in the last period of his life, which means that this person has the ability, you have to use it well.

In ancient times, those who could repair the emperor's tomb were not ordinary people, and they would also be taken care of, after all, you arranged the aftermath of others, which is a great credit.

Yang Ming needs to write a letter to He Chou, so that the other party can be mentally prepared, if he is called to join the army, when he builds a pontoon bridge in the future, don't go wrong.

In addition, Yang Ming also wants to recommend a person.

Comrade Li Chun, who is known as a generation of bridge builders, is known as the first stone arch bridge in China, Zhaozhou Bridge.

At present, the Zhaozhou Bridge is erected on the Huhe River in the west of Pingjian County, the capital of Zhao County, but now it is not called Zhaozhou Bridge, but it is called Zhaojun Stone Bridge.

When the canal was being built, in order to facilitate transportation, the local government planned to build a bridge over the Huanhe River to facilitate the smooth entry of Shanxi's materials and manpower into Hebei.

Originally, the government meant that you could build a bridge that could cross people and mules and horses, but as a result, Li Chun created such a miraculous and ingenious work of art in the world, and spent very little money to build a national key cultural relics protection unit.

This person is not easy to find at the moment, it should be that the official position is too small, or, there is no official.

It is unlikely that he has no official, after all, his surname is Li, and the bridge is in Zhao County, so if you think about it, you can know which one he belongs to.

So Yang Ming called Cui Junsu, the servant of the ministry, to ask.

Cui Junsu also had no impression of Li Chun, so Yang Ming went directly with him to the Ministry of Officials to read the files.

I rummaged through the official files of the entire Zhao County and found that the person from the house county of Zhao County is the current house county official Cao.

Shi Cao, Zhangtu Gong, Gongyi, Jinliang (ferry bridge), boat, car, crafts.

is such an awesome expert, just a non-qualified official.

No wonder Zhang Jiazhen of the Tang Dynasty recorded: Zhaozhou Huhe Stone Bridge, the traces of Sui craftsman Li Chun are also peculiar, and people don't know what they do.

I really don't know what to do, and I'm not famous.

Isn't that a coincidence? He Chou is currently in the porcelain kiln between Neiqiu County in Xiangguo County and Fang County in Zhao County, and the two craftsmen are now in one place.

Then He Chou must have seen the Zhaojun Stone Bridge, as long as he has seen it, he will definitely know how awesome this bridge is, and he will recognize Li Chun's bridge-building level, and Yang Ming will recommend it to He Chou, which will be very convenient.

"Have you ever heard of the stone bridge in Zhao County?" Yang Ming asked.

Cui Junsu nodded and said: "Of course I have heard, it is said that this bridge has a unique technology, it is a single-hole stone arch bridge, the bridge body is strong and incomparable, and the flood cannot collapse." ”

Of course it can't collapse, people should be able to be swept away by the flood, I can see it in the books of the future generations?

Yang Ming has never seen the true face of Zhaozhou Bridge, but seeing it on the picture is also very shocking.

"Zhao Jun Taishou is a fish club, right? He also presided over the construction of this bridge, such a good craftsman, why did it take so long, and he was still a Shicao? Yang Ming frowned.

Cui Junsu was stunned: "Your Highness thinks that you should enter the Jiangzuo Temple?" ”

Yang Ming nodded and said: "Of course it should, you should send an approval document to Yujuluo now, this person will be a temple, but there is no need to come to Beijing to serve, let him go to He Chou's side." ”

"The minister understands, and the minister will do it immediately," Cui Junsu hurriedly called the officials of the ministry to draft the official document.

In October, Yang Ming received a letter from his "friend" Feng Yuzhi, which said that when you received this letter, it explained that her grandfather had agreed to borrow soldiers, and she should be almost in Luoyang.

Feng Yuzhi would go to Luoyang to meet the emperor and empress, and then she would come to Jingshi, and she asked Yang Ming to prepare to receive her.

went north with Feng Yuzhi, as well as his father Feng An, but Feng Ang first had to go to Donglai County to help Laihu'er rectify the Lingnan Army, and the 30,000 platoons of men were not easy to manage since they returned to Laihu'er.

Laihu'er was very strict in governing the army, and killed a lot of people to restrain military discipline, and after Feng Ang received the news, he hurried over to help Laihu'er.

Lingnan people, only listen to him, after that, Feng Ang will go to the eastern capital and follow Yang Guang to Liaodong, because he has been named the general of the right Wuwei by Yang Guang.

And the original general Guo Yan went to Jiangdu and served as the Taishou of Jiangdu.

For the upcoming Feng Yuzhi, Yang Ming is welcome, people have helped him so much, and he should be entertained well.

So he took the first step to let his Qianniu prepare Li Xiaogong to go to Luoyang, wait for the others, and bring them to Beijing.

Luoyang, Yang Guang and his wife also want to receive Feng Yuzhi, no way, this is a political factor, their family helps the Great Sui to govern Lingnan, and they are loyal, and the emperor also needs to maintain this relationship.

"Mingda (Feng Anzi) this time, for my worries, I am very happy, as you just said, if Liuqiu is taken, it will be handed over to Feng Xuan to manage," Yang Guang didn't care about Liuqiu's place, and now he could use the Feng family, so he happily agreed.

And Feng Xuan is Feng An's eldest brother, that is, he took the 5,000 Lingnan army and went to Jian'an County on six large ships to join Zhou Zhongmu to discuss attacking the country of Liuqiu.

Feng Ang is also an old fox, and he can't afford to be early, so let me send troops to beg, yes, fight down, and you will leave it to me.

Yang Guang will definitely agree, you will send troops and efforts to expand the territory for the Great Sui, this is a good thing, and when it is fought in the future, let's talk about it, you want to take advantage of it alone, no way!

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Grandpa will be very happy to know," Feng Yuzhi said with a smile.

Empress Xiao found that Feng Yuzhi's bun had not changed, and asked curiously: "Hasn't Yuzhi been allowed to marry yet?" ”

"No," Feng Yuzhi said with a smile, "Since I met the prince, I don't look down on other men." ”

"Hahahaha." Yang Guang laughed loudly.

This sentence can be called a top-level sycophant, which makes Yang Guang and his wife very happy, because you are saying that the prince is the best man in the world.

And the prince was born to Yang Guang and his wife, can people be unhappy?

Empress Xiao took the opportunity to say: "If Yuzhi is interested, the prince's harem will be vacant." ”

Feng Yuzhi pursed his lips: "I haven't thought about it yet, there are too many women in the prince, I'm not used to it." ”

"Mingda has a lot of concubines?" Yang Guang smiled and teased.

Feng Ang is also a merry man, with thirty sons and two daughters, respectively from two wives and thirteen concubines, among which Feng Yuzhi was born to the second wife and belongs to the concubine.

Feng Ang's proudest thing in his life is that he has many sons, a soil emperor like him, it is good to have more sons, as long as he is an adult, he can help him take charge of the place, but the disadvantage is also very big, that is, he will fight for inheritance.

The Tang Dynasty targeted their family, but it took a lot of effort to divide the sons of Feng Ang, divide and stand up, and finally were wiped out by Wu Zetian.

Otherwise, Feng An's great-grandson Gao Lishi would not have become a eunuch.

Feng Yuzhi is twenty-one years old this year and belongs to an old girl, but Feng Ang did not force her to marry, after all, he knew that his daughter's tooth comb was given to the prince.

According to Lingnan customs, the representative daughter is the prince in the picture.

In the face of the emperor's ridicule, Feng Yuzhi changed the topic with a hippie smile and continued to chat with the emperor and empress.

It is rare for the Great Sui to have this kind of treatment, Feng Yuzhi still doesn't understand, thinking that the emperor and empress really like her.

But it's not impossible, she really wants to marry Yang Ming and become the daughter-in-law of other couples, so the hypocrisy will naturally become true joy.

After staying in Luoyang for three days, Feng Yuzhi was escorted by Li Xiaogong to Beijing.

And Yang Ming will wait in Chang'an Station one step in advance, and the courtesy is extremely high.

In fact, people like the Feng family are already very dangerous, the higher they are praised, the heavier they will fall in the future.

Do you think Yang Guang doesn't want to clean up Feng An? It's just that it's not his turn yet, and it hasn't been cleaned up in history, that's because the Sui Dynasty is gone, so it was cleaned up by the Tang Dynasty.

No emperor will allow the existence of a soil emperor in the world that he governs.

Feng Ang is a smart man, knowing that this time the emperor summoned him to Beijing, he must come, if he doesn't come, after cleaning up Goguryeo, he will be cleaned up.

The current emperor can't rub sand in his eyes, and Feng Ang also knows that the family seems to be strong at the moment, but in fact it is full of dangers, so he took advantage of the fact that the prince borrowed troops from him to bring his daughter into Beijing, just to promote this family business.

Because if this family business is completed, their family should continue to be glorious for at least the next few decades.

On October 17, Feng Yuzhi arrived in Beijing and met Yang Ming, who had been absent for more than two years, outside Chang'an.

The first time he saw Yang Ming, Feng Yuzhi stretched out his palm and smiled at Yang Ming:

"It's time for things to be returned to their rightful owners."

Yang Ming smiled, took out the tooth comb, and put it in the palm of the other party's palm:

"I didn't lose it."

"You have a conscience," Feng Yuzhi smiled playfully, inserting a toothbrush into her bun.
