The importance of large bridges to the Great Tang Empire is self-evident. No matter the normal laying of railways or the convenient passage of roads, large bridges are inseparable, and there are many Water Elements in Great Tang, which means that large bridges need to be built. There are many places, especially where people and goods circulate frequently, where bridges are most needed.

In the past, due to the limitation of materials and technology, the desire to build a bridge on a relatively large Water Element was almost an impossible realization. Now, with the successful development and production of reinforced concrete, this desire has been realized, and Is being implemented.

And since large bridges can be successfully built and gradually spread throughout the Great Tang, this requires a special agency to be responsible for bridge work to promote the rapid and steady development of the bridge business, reflecting Imperial Court’s emphasis on large bridges.

Long before the construction of the Luoshui Railway Bridge, Li An had already considered the importance of establishing a bridge building bureau, but because of the too much preparation work before the bridge was built, it delayed Li An too much time, so that Li An I temporarily gave up this idea, dedicated to thinking about how to build the Luoshui Railway Bridge, and busy going to Luoshui in person to guide the bridge construction work.

At this time, I suddenly returned to Chang’an City. In addition to going to the Research & Development Center, to solve the various problems encountered by the craftsmen during the Research & Development process, I urged Research & Development of the bridge construction machinery. Emperor went on to say that a special bridge building gate was established, just like the Railway Bureau of Internal Affairs.

However, what made Li An didn’t expect is that not only did he think of this problem, but also Assistant Minister Guo Xuji of the Ministry of Industry, he would not hesitate to wait at Chang’an City Railway Station in order to make the bridge building subordinate to the Ministry of Industry To persuade myself to support the attribution of the bridge-building government to the Ministry of Industry.

I have to say that Guo Xuji’s old fox is still very discerning. I can actually see the glory of the Great Tang bridge business in the future and catch it early, so as to make myself famous. Scholar, the most important thing is reputation, almost Nothing is more important than fame and history.

Imagine if Guo Xuji could live for a few more years, under his personal guidance, the Yellow River and Yangtze River Bridges were successfully built one after another. In this way, the long history will remember the name Guo Xuji and put the name Guo Xuji with Great Tang first The Yellow River Bridge is hooked up and has been passed down.

Li An does not care under which section the bridge building bureau belongs to, but since Guo Xuji can wait for himself at the Chang’an City Railway Station under the cold wind, he feels that the bridge building bureau is under the Ministry of Industry. A good choice. After all, when the Railway Bureau was established before, a large number of talents were drawn from the Ministry of Industry, causing heavy losses to the Ministry of Industry. If this time is not compensated, it will be too unfair to the Ministry of Industry.

It’s just that Li An is not sure that Emperor thinks so. So, Guo Xuji can’t be given any promises, so as not to honour, and Guo Xuji will be disappointed and complain about himself.

“Minister Li, since the establishment of the railway bureau and the transfer of a large number of talents from our Ministry of Industry, our Ministry of Industry has suffered heavy losses. This time, the establishment of a bridge building agency will inevitably require talents from our Ministry of Engineering. If we cannot belong to the bridge building agency Ministry of Industry, my Ministry of Industry will be empty. “

Guo Xuji looked pitiful, standing in the cold wind like a leaf that would fall at any time.

Li An couldn’t bear to let Guo Xuji sad, opened the mouth and said: “Assistant Minister Guo does not have to worry, This Official promises you, will fight for the Ministry of Industry in front of Your Majesty, I believe Your Majesty will definitely agree.”

“Oh, so many thanks Minister Li, it’s better to choose the day than to hit the day, not equal to me. Now we go into the palace to meet Your Majesty and give the bridge building to the government.”

Guo Xuji ironed while hot, said with a smile.

“It’s getting dark, is this appropriate?”

Li An was shocked by Guo Xuji’s positive. At this time, Emperor may be playing with his concubine in the backyard and hurried to disturb. It seems very wrong.

“No secret Minister Li, many people are now staring at the bridge building, even the 9 temples and 5 prisoners are staring at them, saying that they will build a bridge supervisor and change to 9 temples and 6 prisoners. I ’m afraid it ’s a long night! “

Guo Xuji said nervously that he was worried that after Li An returned to the other court, he was brainwashed by officials from various sections who came to the door, and thus made a decision that was not conducive to the Ministry of Industry. In this way, the Ministry of Industry ’s chances of obtaining bridges and bureaus were low a lot of.

“Okay, since Assistant Minister Guo is going to the palace so late, This Official is here, let’s go! Go into the palace.”

Li An readily agreed to Guo Xuji and immediately went to Daming Palace together to see Emperor Li Longji.

Coincidentally, Li Longji did not rest at this time, and did not hug his left and right arms, but was thinking about the bridge building bureau. On these days, many ministers proposed to set up a special bridge building bureau. Mainly responsible for the construction of large bridges, that is, strategic bridges, but the opinions of the ministers are not unified. The Ministry of Industry, the Water Supervision, and the Internal Affairs are all competing for this errand. In addition, some ministers suggest that the bridge supervisors should be built directly. 6 books of Shangshu and 9 temples of 5 temples are at the same level to reflect the importance that Imperial Court attaches to the cause of bridge construction.

Li Longji seemed very hesitant about how to build the bridge and bureau. All the ministers who put forward suggestions are very reasonable and can be described as eloquent. This makes him feel that he must listen to Li An ’s opinion. After all, the large bridge was designed and built by Li An, and in this regard, Li An can certainly put forward better opinions.

“How long has Minister Li been in Luoyang?”

Li Longji looked towards side Gao Lishi, asked.

“Everyone, Minister Li has left half a month.”

Gao Lishi hurriedly replied that the date when Li An left Li Longji could not be remembered, but as the serving confidant Court Eunuch, Gao Lishi must remember that this is necessary to do This Slave.

“Oh, it’s been half a month, so long?”

Li Longji frowned. Li An has been away from the capital for so long in the past year.

“Everyone, do you need to send someone to Luoyang to get Minister Li back?”

Li Longji shook his head and said, “No, it’s not necessary. Bridge building is important. Minister Li can’t be distracted. I also hope to see the bridge earlier?”

In Li Longji’s view, the construction of the bridge building bureau need not be in a hurry, and it should not interfere with Li An’s bridge-building plan because of this trivial matter.

“Everyone, Minister Li and Assistant Minister Guo ask outside the hall.”

A little Court Eunuch hurried in.

“What, Li An is back?”

Li Longji completely ignored Guo Xuji and asked excitedly.

“Yes, everyone, just after getting off the train, Minister Li accompanied the Assistant Minister Guo to the palace, waiting outside the great hall?”

“Haha! This Guo Xuji’s movements are quite fast. It was a coincidence that Minister Li had just met him just after getting off the train.”

Li Longji laughed.

“Everyone, the old slave heard that in recent days, Assistant Minister Guo will go to the train station every evening, and will not leave until the train enters the station. It turns out that he is waiting for Minister Li!”

Gao Lishi also smiled.

“Oh, I waited at the train station every day. This Guo Xuji was very determined, but I could convince Li An earlier that it’s worth it.”

Li Longji laughed, indicating that Court Eunuch Jr. had announced that two people would meet.

“This Small Official Li An and Guo Xuji see Your Majesty.”

“Quickly flattened, Minister Li, why did you suddenly return to the capital, how about the construction of the Luoshui Bridge?”

Li Longji ignored Guo Xuji and greeted Li An directly.

“Your Majesty, the Luoshui Bridge is progressing smoothly. It can be completed within a few months. After the completion, the Canal Bridge can be built.”

Li An quickly replied.

“Okay, Minister Li has a need, although I have proposed to me that these bridges are extremely important to the Great Tang Empire and must be built with priority.”

Li Longji should give a full green light to Li An and fully support Li An to ensure the large-scale popularization of strategic bridges within the Great Tang.

“Your Majesty, This Small Official returned to Beijing this time, first because the bridge construction has entered a stable stage, This Small Official has nothing to do there, 2 is that the Research & Development Center needs this Small Official to guide, 3 is for The matter of forming the Yamen Bridge. “

Li An stated the reason for his sudden return to the capital and subconsciously looked towards side Guo Xuji.

“Your Majesty, the formation of a bridge-building bureau is imperative, and he is courageous and recommends himself, and is willing to share your worries for Your Majesty.”

Guo Xuji hurriedly followed.

Li Longji glanced at Guo Xuji and looked back towards Li An: “Assistant Minister Guo has waited at the train station for so many days, it seems there is no such thing! Minister Li can go to the palace with Assistant Minister Guo, it seems to be supportive The bridge building bureau belongs to the Ministry of Industry. “

“Yes, Your Majesty, This Small Official was indeed moved by the sincerity of Assistant Minister Guo, supporting the ownership of the bridge to the Ministry of Industry to make up for the losses caused to the Ministry of Industry when the Railway Bureau was formed, and, This Small Official believed , Assistant Minister Guo will surely do a good job of building bridges. “

Li An said seriously.

“Your Majesty, the minister must live up to the expectations and do the bridge building.”

Guo Xuji expressed eagerly.

Li Longji pondered for a moment, looked towards Guo Xuji and asked: “I want to hear what Assistant Minister Guo has superb insights into bridge building and how to promote the development of bridge building in the future.”

“Your Majesty, the minister will personally supervise his subordinates, carefully repair each bridge, and severely punish those who are corrupt and irresponsible. The minister will also personally go to the place where the bridge is built to deploy the repair …”

Guo Xuji said a lot of big words and said nothing.

Li Longji shook the head, said resolutely: “I don’t care which section the bridge building belongs to. I care about how to quickly build enough large bridges to facilitate the life of 100 people. In fact, Minister Li is the most suitable The bridge bureau is built, but Minister Li needs to be responsible for too many things, but it is a bit dormant. Since Minister Li supports the bridge bureau to belong to the Ministry of Engineering, then belong to the Ministry of Engineering! What is the name? “

“Your Majesty, otherwise it is called Bureau of Bridges! In this way, the 4 subordinates of the Ministry of Industry will become 5 parts.”

Li An spoke suggested.

The Great Tang’s Ministry of Industry is divided into 4 departments, namely the Ministry of Industry, Tuntian, Yu and Water, and now there is another Bureau of Bridges.

“Okay, let’s call Bureau of Bridges! However, the position of Bureau of Bridges Langzhong is higher than the other four, so it is set to be the Fifth Grade.”

Li Longji made the decision very happily.

The four subordinate organizations of the Great Tang Ministry of Industry, Langzhong of the Ministry of Industry, Tuntian, Yube and Mitsui, are all from the Fifth Grade, while Bureau of Bridges Langzhong is set to be the top of the Fifth Grade, obviously the highest position The position in the Ministry of Industry second only to the Ministry of Industry Shangshu and the Ministry of Industry Assistant Minister, from the rank of this official, we can see the importance of Imperial Court to Bureau of Bridges.

“Thank you Majesty for your trust, This Small Official will do its utmost to build the Bureau of Bridges and build more bridges for the Great Tang.”

Guo Xuji knelt in excitement and knelt. He waited too long for this day.

Li Longji didn’t have the time to ignore Guo Xuji and put Bureau of Bridges into the engineering department. It was completely for Li An’s face. After all, all this was created by Li An. He couldn’t refute Li An’s face.

“Minister Li, Luoshui Bridge must be very stylish! I wonder what it will look like after it’s finished?”

Li Longji was very curiously asked. He would like to know what the Luoshui Bridge looks like after it is built, and there are some impatients.

“Your Majesty, This Small Official has asked woodworkers to sculpt the look of the Luoshui Bridge, which is now outside the hall and presented.”

Li An has been prepared for a long time. Before returning, he had asked carpenters to carve the Luoshui Bridge according to the drawings to dedicate to Li Longji, so that Li Longji would have been through eye addiction in advance.

“Oh, it’s already sculpted, Minister Li is really thoughtful!”

Li Longji stood up happily, looking at the wooden bridge model being presented, and was amazed.

“Minister Li, for such a large bridge, there are only a few thin pillars underneath, can it really guarantee safety?”

Li Longji found that the model of the Luoshui Bridge in front of him is different from the Longshouqu Bridge seen a few days ago. This bridge has more brackets, but it is also more loose and thin, and it looks like it is difficult to support the bridge deck.

“Your Majesty is assured that this Small Official has been carefully calculated. These pillars are sufficient to support the bridge, and even if it is full of pedestrians, it will never collapse.”

Li An answered confidently, pointing at the bridge introduced: “Your Majesty, the bottom layer is a special railway track. After laying the rails, you can let the train pass freely inside, but pedestrians and horses and horses can never pass, so as not to interfere The normal operation of the train, the upper layer is the road, which is specially designed for pedestrians and horses and horses. In this way, the train and the pedestrians and horses will be separated, and there will be no danger. Reduce the slope while avoiding interference with the passage of the train track. The maximum distance between the main bridge piers is 2 times the width of the boat, the boat can pass between the two piers, and the distance between the water surface and the bottom of the bridge is also less than the water The height of the boat is much larger, so the boat will not hit the bottom of the bridge. “

“On the 2nd floor road, the train and pedestrian carriage are separated, and the bottom of the bridge does not affect the passage of the boat. The Bridge designed by Minister Li is really amazing! In the Great Tang, no second person can be found!”

After listening to Li An ’s introduction, Li Longji praised the Luoshui Bridge and praised Li An as a rare talent in the Great Tang.
