Chapter 386 Bridge

With the beginning of the war against Japan and Japan, the first phase of the imperial road transportation system plan was basically completed.

To be honest, the war against Japan and Japan did not have much impact on the empire. The Emperor Yingyi rose from his infancy, and he was invincible in the southern and northern wars. Whether it was the former Ming court, the Liaodong captives, the Tatars in Monan, the chieftains in Yunnan and Guizhou Tibet, or the Western Xinjiang, the war has never stopped, and victory has been achieved. A common meal.

What the common people are more concerned about is things related to the family's shortcomings and ordinary life.

For example, does the government promote new and improved crops-vegetables, fruits or cash crops? The improved varieties of staple grains improved through Dijiyi have long been promoted across the country. Now, if people in any place need support in terms of food, then only the new state capital where the border expansion plan has been completed or the areas where immigration has just been completed or are in the process of being immigrated.

The vast majority of people in state capitals have surpassed their basic survival needs and have begun to have expectations for a higher quality of life.

The Diji Yi system was universally established at the prefectural level, and each prefecture-level administrative district had a Diji Yi system. And this is only the first stage. According to Ying Yi's plan, the Diji Ceremony will be universalized to the county level.

To meet the needs of people everywhere for improved seeds.

There are different places and different environments all over the world, resulting in each place having some special species in addition to the staple food. Fruits, vegetables, and cash crops all have different characteristics in different places. In terms of staple food, the empire center has certain requirements, wheat or rice. There are no requirements for special species from various places.

With the government as a unit, local characteristic species are improved with the help of the Diji Yi, and governance is implemented to meet the needs of the people in addition to staple food, and at the same time promote commercial circulation.

For example, Baoding’s characteristic species were naturally the first to be improved by Baoding Prefecture, and then promoted and scaled up, thus attracting businessmen and bringing about commercial circulation. Businessmen sell Baoding's characteristic species to other places, thereby creating benefits for local people.

Therefore, every time, different improved species are promoted in each province - some with low potential and only suitable for families, and some with great potential, which can be planted on a large scale and create profits. Whoever eats the crab first will gain. So the people were looking forward to it.

In terms of the characteristic species of each place, the Empire Center does not deliberately solidify. For example, Baoding Prefecture naturally took the lead in improving the characteristic species of Baoding and gained priority. But if, despite such an advantage, it is still defeated by another government that later focuses on and improves the crop, then the empire center will not care. All the empire has to control is whether local officials are qualified.

Under the big framework, big trends are irreversible, but small trends can be changed. Staple foods must be limited, but other than staple foods, everything else is subject to the laws of market development.

It just depends on the abilities of officials in various places.

Kaifeng, as the administrative seat of Henan, is also where the emperor really started. You can imagine the prosperity of Kaifeng. It had been less than three years since the founding of Daxia, but Kaifeng's prosperity had surpassed the heyday of the previous dynasty, both in terms of population and commerce. The ancient city of Kaifeng has been submerged - outside the ancient city, six satellite cities have been expanded to surround the ancient city.

As an important town in the Central Plains and a transportation hub in the middle reaches of the Yellow River, two of the six main roads, three horizontal and three vertical, intersect here. Vertical B and horizontal C.

Zong Yi came from Guangwu Prefecture in the far north, passed through the Monan Grassland and the capital, and went all the way south, crossing the Yellow River and running through Kaifeng.

Therefore, the construction of the Kaifeng Yellow River Bridge is imperative.

Today, April 17, the third year of the Chinese Era, the Kaifeng Yellow River Bridge is about to be docked.

This is a grand event, a very important event for the entire Kaifeng, the entire Henan, and the entire empire.

Once the bridge is connected, it will mark that the Xia people once again defeated heaven and earth and defeated nature. The natural chasm is no longer a natural chasm, but a thoroughfare.

The section of the Yellow River north of Kaifeng is eighteen miles wide. No one had ever thought of building a bridge in the past.

"The 18-mile natural moat has been turned into a smooth road today. I sincerely wish you the blessing of the emperor and the ancestors." Lian Biao, Lian Wenhuai, minister of the Imperial Ministry of Industry, said from the stands.

Lian Biao was an old man when Ying Yi rose to power. He was an officer at first, and later moved to take charge of the slave labor camp. After the founding of the Xia Dynasty, he was promoted to a minister in the Ministry of Industry and became one of the nine ministers under the Yi Pavilion, with a high position.

He is a rough man, so he should make some achievements in the army. But time also dictated that he eventually moved to the civil service. Nowadays, it is somewhat arty. For example, his calligraphy was chosen by himself after consulting Huang Zongxi, Minister of Rites, and Gu Yanwu, Minister of Culture.

Of course, although he has not made any achievements in cultural undertakings, practice makes perfect. He has always done well in the slave labor camp, and he has gained experience, so it is natural for him to become a minister of the Ministry of Industry.

The Kaifeng Yellow River Bridge is the first bridge to be built across a natural chasm. As a minister of the Ministry of Industry, Lian Biao came in person to show the central government's attention.

When the Yellow River reaches Kaifeng, its riverbed is already several points higher than the ground on both sides. The grandstand was built at the head of the bridge on the south bank, dozens of feet higher. Standing in the stands, I saw a seven-foot-wide steel bridge with two floors, like a long dragon emerging from under my feet. It was surrounded by huge gold-element alloy pillars, flying all the way across the water, and in the middle of the river, with The bridge section coming from the north is about to be connected.

Thick and solid Jinyuan alloy bridge pillars support the wide bridge deck, on which huge engineering vehicles are passing. They transported the soil to the bridge deck paved with gold and yuan alloy plates. The slave workers spread it flat, and then the road construction equipment rolled over it and solidified it into stone.

At the center of the river, the final docking is about to begin.

On both sides of the bridge on the river, there is a giant platform-like ship fixed on the turbulent water. Each of them carries a huge element, which is similar to a humanoid, but has no head and legs, and the bottom is integrated with the engineering platform. There are four huge pliers made of gold alloy.

The craftsman was manipulating this element on the engineering platform. In the dim light of the whole body, four pliers flexibly picked up a gold-element alloy bridge pillar that was dozens of feet long, and pressed it straight and hard. Into the water!

Ships of various sizes transported a series of heavy and large bridge-building materials such as gold and yuan alloy bridge plates, and they were carried up by the giant Yuanqi's pliers.

When the last two bridge pillars were pressed into the river and embedded deeply into the depths of the river bottom, the final docking time came.

Countless people, businessmen, and dignitaries on both sides of the Taiwan Strait raised their eyes and looked up. A cheer came from nowhere, and suddenly, the cheers thundered!

Kaifeng Yellow River Bridge docking completed.

Lian Biao stood up and laughed loudly: "Da Xia Chengyan Huang Xinhuo, we have the temperament of our ancestors who overcame all obstacles and fought against the heaven and the earth. So what about the natural chasm, we haven't been defeated by us!"

"Somebody come!"

He shouted: "Write a report. I will report it to the emperor immediately to report the good news!"

The completion of the first bridge across the sky chasm was a visible encouragement to everyone in the empire. More and more people are high-spirited, both officials and ordinary people.

We can conquer anything!
