The days when I fished in Daming

Ah!
His heartbeat only lasted for [-] second, and the Liuhe County Magistrate quickly shook his head like a drum.

If it were other small rivers, it would be possible.

But unless a god comes to build a bridge across the Yangtze River, there is no chance at all.

Not realistic, not realistic at all.

"Master Hou is really good at joking."

"You don't believe me even if I tell you. Forget it, it's just a small straight road. Get in line! I'll fix yours when Jiang Ning's is finished."

Phew, the Liuhe County Magistrate secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Get it done.

As for the cross-river bridge, just take it as a joke.

"Master Marquis, I have brought Liuhe's fish scale atlas. Can you show me how to repair it? From where to where?"

It's really exciting.

Zheng Xiong glanced at the Liuhe County Magistrate several times.

Aren't you afraid of dying?
I was just fined.

It's good for you, come on as soon as possible.

Zheng Xiong pointed at one randomly and said with a questioning tone.

"Here to here?"

"Okay, Lord Marquis, I will arrange for someone to pick up the earth and gravel when I get back."

He was so quick, as if he was afraid that Zheng Xiong would regret it.

The Liuhe County Magistrate immediately put away the fish scale atlas.

"Master Marquis, you are busy. Please excuse me."

After picking up his things, the Liuhe County Magistrate then made preparations to leave.

Zheng Xiong was left confused.

"Wait, please pay attention to something. Don't leak the news before it is done."

"Your Majesty understands."

Shaking his head, Zheng Xiong then looked at the remaining people.

"Needless to say, you guys have the same idea too!"

"The Marquis has a keen eye like a torch and a hole like watching fire. Xiaguan and others also want to build a straight road to the city of Nanjing."

"Okay, take out the fish scale atlas from your respective counties, and I will show you the path."

That day, Zheng Xiong drew a few lines at random.

From that day on, news spread that straight roads were to be built in the seven counties, but it was impossible to tell the truth from the false.

However, there are reports of construction starting in various places in winter to make preliminary preparations for the straight track.

Even if it's false, it's still true.

"Good news, a straight road will be built in eight counties. The path is already there. Do you want to buy some land and make some money?"

"Of course, barren mountains and ridges don't cost money. I've already bought a piece of barren land in Lishui, and I've bought some in the remaining counties, as well as Liuhe. It's a pity to throw away the food if it's tasteless."

"Are you so fast? Then I have to hurry up."

"It's such a trivial matter. It's enough to just give instructions below. Why do you need to run there yourself?"

"That's right. Aren't I afraid that the people below will fool me? My family is not as rich as yours and I can't stand the trouble."

Buying and selling that is rushed online is not called buying and selling.

If the seven counties are willing to draw the line themselves, then feel free to draw it.

The straight roads promised are all fake, just trying to deceive people.

As for who was deceived, it should be the most well-informed people!

Anyway, I just have to dig a hole and bury anyone.

The only real news is the one that's most easily ignored, and that's the bridge across the river.

They are all fake, only the cross-river bridge is real.

The casual question made Zheng Xiong take it to heart.

With cement in hand and steel bars, a cross-river bridge is not impossible to achieve.

The most important bridge pier has been solved, what other problems are there?
It's just that the load capacity of the bridge is different.

I don't plan to get hundreds of tanks for acceptance like General Xu.

As long as you can get goods from others, that's fine.

The difficulty is actually not high.

Maybe the shelf life is not very high, but what the heck, by then, the technology will inevitably have improved, and it will be nice to build another one.And having such a bridge connecting the south and north of the Yangtze River is of great significance.

It is also a milestone.

Not to mention the prestige and fame it brings, the scheduling, cooperation in all aspects, the jobs created, and the talents that can be cultivated all play a role that cannot be ignored.

To put it simply, a bridge alone can increase Nanjing’s GDP by several percentage points.

That's the benefit.

The more I think about it, the more excited I become.

Without further ado, Zheng Xiong called Tieniu over again.

"Tieniu, come and sit down. I have a big job for you again. Let me tell you."

Um, I can’t finish it!

"Master Marquis, after you finish building the straight road in Jiangning, do you still need to build the roads in each county?"

Zheng Xiong waved his hand.

"There's no rush about that, just listen to what I have to say first."

Pointing to the fish scale album, Zheng Xiong said to Tieniu.

"You see, between the south and the north of the Yangtze River, there is a natural barrier of the Yangtze River, making it inconvenient for goods to travel. This government plans to build a cross-river bridge to connect the north and the south."

"During this period, you continue to recruit more people. In addition, you have to recruit talents who are familiar with bridges. They must all be in place in the coming year."

Bull!grown ups!
Can this thing really be done?
Iron Bull is skeptical.

The project is not for nothing!
I have some experience.

Although I have never touched it, I know that bridges are difficult, and they are still bridges across the Yangtze River.

Anyone who comes can only say it's impossible.

"Master Hou, please think twice!"

"It's very difficult. It can't be explained in a few words. It can't be built just because the river blocks the road, let alone other things."

Zheng Xiong nodded in agreement.

"You are right. I have thought about digging a channel from the opposite side of the river that can accommodate the Yangtze River. Digging the river to divert it and stopping the upstream. In this way, construction can be carried out in the river."

"After it's formed, it shouldn't be a problem if you change it back."

“And it can’t be too short, let’s tentatively decide on twelve miles!”

These words made Tieniu stunned.

Are you talking about people?

To dig a channel of twelve miles to accommodate the river water, how deep would it have to be?How much manpower and material resources will be needed?
Besides, maintenance is also an issue.

The moment these two lips touch, it’s decided!

It’s too serious!
"It's not that the official is too talkative and questions the Marquis's decision. This matter is really too difficult. Even if the problem of the river is solved, the river is so strong and washed away that the bridge will not stand for a long time. It is really a thankless move, Marquis. Please think again."

This is based on an unfinished foundation.

If it were really built, you wouldn't say that.

"You don't have to worry about any of this. As long as there are enough manpower to build the bridge next year, you can just say it's okay!"

Alas, I can’t persuade you.

I don’t know how to persuade him.

It's a nightmare to think about.

I don’t know how Zheng Xiong had such an idea.

"The problem of manpower will never disappoint Mr. Hou."

"Well, with your words, I feel relieved. Let you come here just to prepare you. There is nothing else to do. You can leave."

Tieniu left in a daze, immersed in the shock of building a bridge across the river.

After Zheng Xiong and others left, they immediately called for Wang Peng, the prime minister of the government.

"Recruiting young people from one prefecture and eight counties in Nanjing City, we will recruit 2 people for our government. The treatment will be the same as that of First Construction. Go quickly. In a few days, we will need it."

Let me go, there are only 2 people.

In Zheng Xiong's case, thanks to Zheng Xiong's brain circuit, he never stopped being surprised.

"Master Marquis, could you please notify the Zhongshu Province and report in advance?"

"Never mind him! I will make another memorial and report it to Your Majesty. Don't worry about the Ministry of Education."

You are the only one who dares to talk to Zhongshu Sheng like this.

"Yes, I will arrange it now, sir."
