Chapter 288
"Can it really be built?" Di Shaowei felt his blood boil.

"It's possible!" Xiao'er didn't finish her sentence.

"Okay, I donated one of them to build!" Di Shaowei waved his hand, and became inhumane.Who made him the richest man in the family in the past two years!Have the ability to spend a lot of money to do good things!
"We also donate to build one." Shen Chengyao felt that it was worth spending money on such a big event.

After all, if the bridge is really built, how many people it will bring convenience to is simply unimaginable!
"Well, the preliminary estimate is 10 taels of silver for each bridge!" Xiao'er glanced at her proud father.

It is estimated that he thought that ten thousand taels would do the trick!

"What?! So expensive?! Xiao'er, do you have so much money at home?" Shen Chengyao looked at Xiao'er subconsciously, he didn't expect to ask for so much money.He hasn't looked at the family's account book for a long time, it's all managed by Mrs. Liu, and he doesn't know how much property the family has in total.

Most of the shop's accounts are corrected by Mrs. Liu and Xiao'er.

He only knows that his monthly salary is not enough for the daily expenses of the family.

And he himself would go out with 100 taels of silver and ten taels of silver every day, and he would return them intact when he returned home.

"Marquis Shengping, you don't even know how much money you have at home? Don't worry! There is a virgin girl who attracts money in your family, and there is no shortage of money!" Di Shaowei was a little surprised when he heard Shen Chengyao's words, but after thinking about it, he took it for granted.

Every family is headed by the mistress, and his father probably doesn't know how much property the family has.

"Dad, don't worry! A bridge can still be donated." Xiao'er also nodded to Shen Chengyao.

10 taels, that's not the only amount she got on the pirate ship.

The four of them returned to the post station, and Shangguan Xuanyi took out a map to discuss with the three of them the location of the Huaijiang Bridge.

After a night of discussion, the four of them considered various factors.In the end, it was decided to build four Huaijiang bridges, and the last four are the most convenient for the people after comprehensive consideration.

Shangguan Xuanyi planned to use his own private house to build one. It is impossible for the state treasury to fund the construction of two bridges on the Huaihe River, and the treasury's money is too useful.

Xiao'er saw a large plain in Pingzhou County from the map. If it was a field, it would be a million hectares of fertile land!

The Nanhuai River is more than 2000 meters away from this plain.

"This plain is prone to floods, right?" Xiao'er said with [-]% certainty.

"Well, during the rainy season, the Nanhuai River is more prone to lack of dikes, and in severe cases, there may even be no harvest." Shangguan Xuanyi glanced at the place Xiao'er pointed at.

The imperial court really loves and hates this piece of land!Obviously there should be tens of thousands of hectares of fertile land, but it suffers from floods every year.

Xiao'er nodded, and secretly decided to find some time to check the actual situation.

See if there is any land for sale. Such a flat field, close to the water source, is really the best fertile land, and you are not afraid to buy it.

As for flooding, it is not a big problem.

She stopped by to see if she could build some water conservancy according to local conditions, which would help prevent annual floods.

The next day, after Xiao Fuzi brought people from the Ministry of Industry over, they went to the Huaihe River in Yangchun County together for a field trip.

Looking at the broad river, Master Li and his subordinates looked at me and you, hesitant to speak.

"My lords, if you have anything to say, just say it." Shangguan Xuanyi lowered his head and watched Xiaoer earnestly record some data with a pen. He seemed to have eyes behind him, watching the big and small movements of several officials from the Ministry of Industry. in the eyes.

"Sixth prince, can such a long bridge really be built?" And once it is built, four bridges will be built?What should I do if I find that I can't continue after half of the cultivation?In the end, it won't end up a waste of time and money, will it?
"I don't know, give it a try." Shangguan Xuanyi seemed to say that the dish was not cooked to taste, so it was as simple as serving it.

have no idea? !try it? !The people in the Ministry of Industry wailed in their hearts when they heard this.

When did the Sixth Prince become so unreliable in his work?
The four bridges have to be built at the same time, so how much money does the treasury have to spend?
What if you find that you can't go on building after half of the construction!
The treasury's money is not blown by the wind!

At that time, so much money from the national treasury was wasted in vain, and they would not be frightened to death by the officials and the household department?
If you want to do something in the future and ask for money, it will definitely not work.

And the Ministry of Household Affairs would never agree to withdraw so much money.

"Sixth prince, I dare to say too much, these bridges can't be built!"

"Yes, Sixth Prince, no one has ever built such a long bridge in history. If you build a suspension bridge, you can still consider it, but how can it be possible to build a bridge that cars and horses can pass! And under the bridge, large ships can pass through, It does not affect shipping, and this has never happened before!"

"Sixth Prince, the bridges that carriages and horses can cross are all stone bridges and wooden bridges, and they are all built on some small rivers. The Huai River is so long, I can't wait, there is really no way!"

Shangguan Xuanyi saw the real worry in the eyes of several officials from the Ministry of Industry, and said, "Mr. Di, Marquis Shengping, and I will donate to build one of them. The treasury only needs to pay for the construction of a bridge."

After hearing this, several officials from the Ministry of Industry had nothing to worry about. After the construction of these Huaijiang bridges, they would not only promote the economic development of the north and the south, but also facilitate the millions of people on both sides of the strait. With such great political achievements, they Even if you don't sleep, you have to stare at it, and try your best to build it!
"Your official must do his best to build these bridges!"

"Yes, it must be completed before the river level rises!"

……

Regarding their words, Shangguan Xuanyi nodded lightly, "Go to the next place!"

During the day, the group conducted on-site inspections. At night, Xiaoer, Shangguan Xuanyi and the other three discussed the design of the bridge together in the study.

Of course it was mainly Xiaoer who was designing, while the other three provided her with some data.

After working for more than ten days in a row, all the bridges were finally designed. At this time, the first Yangchun Huaijiang Bridge, located at the junction of Yangdan County and Huaichun County, had all the construction materials and staff in place, and the construction officially started.

Xiao'er also organized a ribbon-cutting and foundation-laying ceremony, Shangguan Xuanyi attended.

The people were overjoyed when they knew that the bridge was going to be built, or such a long bridge.Even if they don't have to work and rest, many people take the initiative to help, even if it is transporting sand and gravel, moving cement!
Xiao'er had also written a letter to Foreman Liang asking him to come to the imperial capital to build a bridge.

After these bridges were built, even if it was a worker responsible for picking sand, as long as he said that he had participated in the construction of the Yangchun Huaijiang Bridge, people would rush to hire him to do the work.

For such a good thing, of course you have to take care of your acquaintances.

Besides, Foreman Liang has both talent and enthusiasm for architecture, so this is a good opportunity to learn and practice.

It is hoped that with this bridge construction incident, a few talents can be cultivated. The country is in great need of professional and technical personnel.
