On the second day, the weather was unusually good, with thin clouds covering the sun. After all, Chang'an was still very hot in July. But today is destined to be a special day, because Chang'an City is not close to the Wei River.
The distance of nearly twenty miles would take more than an hour for a horse-drawn carriage to reach.
This is because His Highness has built a road from Chang'an City to the edge of the Wei River. The carriage travels very smoothly and quickly. Moreover, the brand new carriage has added shock absorbers, which improves the comfort level by more than a tiny bit compared to the previous one.
"I have to say, this kid knows how to enjoy it." Li Shimin said with emotion while sitting on the carriage. He could hardly feel the vibration, and he was very comfortable sitting on the chair.
Looking at the surrounding scenery, Li Shimin felt a little like going on an outing. This carriage was naturally manufactured for Li Shimin by the BMW firm under Li Ke's name.
The entire vehicle adopts a brand-new structure. Although it is large in size, Li Shimin, who is sitting on it, cannot feel any vibration at all because of the new bearings, tires, shock absorbers and other structures.
Not to mention such a cement road, even if you are walking on an ordinary dirt road, you can still feel the undulations of the road, but compared with the previous wooden wheels, it is simply an unprecedented and supreme experience.
In the past, when sitting on such a carriage, Li Shimin tried to keep his body as straight as possible, because it would be less uncomfortable to bump around like this. Now, he was a little drowsy sitting in the carriage.
If he wanted to, Li Shimin felt that he could run wildly in a carriage.
"Ke'er has done so many things, but in your eyes she only knows how to play." Queen Changsun rolled her eyes at Li Shimin. After Li Ke cured her body and stabilized it, Sun Simiao came to give her a food supplement plan. Empress Changsun's body became healthier day by day.
Now her face is rosy and her whole body is much plumper than in the past two years. In addition to her young age, her body is recovering very quickly. Now that she no longer has children, her body's recovery speed will naturally become faster and faster. quick.
The current Empress Changsun looks younger than in previous years, mainly because the previous ones were all sickly.
That's why Li Shimin understood that what Li Ke said was reasonable. Although it had been a long time, Li Shimin was a little scared when he thought that if Li Zhi married early, Li Zhi might die early.
"I see him, all his actions are for eating, drinking and having fun." Li Shimin waved his hand.
"If the people of the world know that our Highness, King Qin, is eating, drinking and having fun, they can have such a good life. Do you believe that they can build a palace as big as Chang'an City for His Highness, King Qin." Queen Changsun said with a smile.
"Sister, please stop praising him. Isn't it possible that his current Qinwangzhuang is too small? This means that Erlang is conniving at him. Otherwise, he would have been impeached by the ministers for being extravagant and lewd." Concubine Yang said helplessly. He spoke.
"Hahaha, you are wrong. Who of your sons dares to impeach him? Even Wei Zheng didn't impeach him. Who else will get into trouble? Regarding this matter, I agree with what Guanyin said. Just let him play. , let him cultivate, the better Zhuangzi cultivates, the less he himself will have to play elsewhere." Li Shimin said with a smile.
Qin Wangzhuang is very good. It should be repaired well. The more fun it is, the better. As for which King of Qin lived there, I can't say for sure.
"But don't tell me, I have never had such an experience before. Sitting on this carriage and looking at the surrounding scenery, there are quite a few different flavors. The Tang Dynasty is so big, I don't know what the officialdom of the Tang Dynasty will be in the future. How far can it be cultivated?”
"When the time comes, I will take you and follow the official road to take a tour of the Tang Dynasty. Then I will ask Li Ke to build us a few larger and better carriages."
"The beds and food are all arranged in this carriage. Let's take a few more carriages with us when we go out, and bring all the food and other things. Isn't it good to live wherever we go? As long as it's not winter in this carriage, we can sleep There is quite a flavor here." Li Shimin looked at the scenery outside and said with emotion.
Although I have left Chang'an City in a carriage before, I couldn't be in this kind of mood. People who bump into places where the road conditions are bad are numb. No matter how good the mood is, what scenery is there? So Li Shimin was also used to riding out on horseback.
But how can Empress Changsun, Concubine Yang and the others ride horses? The current carriage will not be so bumpy even if it travels on bad roads, it just goes slower.
While Li Shimin and Empress Changsun were looking at the scenery and chatting, the Wei River was already visible in the distance.
When he saw the Wei River and the bridge over the Wei River, Li Shimin was stunned.
"parking!"
The carriage soon stopped on the road.
Li Shimin got off the carriage. In front of them was the Weihe River Pier. Li Shimin looked at the Weihe River in front of him. On it, several huge concrete load-bearing columns had already been erected.
It is estimated to be at least as thick as a dozen people hugging each other. Although there are currently only two bridge piers standing in the river, its majesty has been displayed in front of everyone!
What kind of power is this?
The Weihe River Bridge has been under construction for nearly two years. Li Shimin knew it, but he heard that the progress was slow. Now it seems that its progress is not very fast. After all, it has only built a total of six piers so far, among which the bridge in the water squats. There are only two.
But these two bridge piers have already spanned half of the entire Wei River. In other words, three bridge piers can span the Wei River.
The distance between these two bridge piers is probably not more than 140 to 50 meters.
Li Shimin didn't know how Li Ke planned to build a bridge deck on this pier, but this bridge pier alone was something that Datang could not manufacture before.
The carriages behind them all stopped behind Li Shimin's carriage. Today Li Shimin came out with all the ministers, and his own carriage was not long.
"Go and ask Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng and others behind, as well as Yan Lide from the Ministry of Construction, to come over." Li Shimin said.
Not only Li Shimin, but actually everyone who stayed at the pier was completely shocked by the scene in front of them. Not many people came to see the scene before. Now everyone was looking at the huge bridge piers in a daze. Everyone could see that the bridge squats on the shore were deliberately raised to raise the road.
Although there were many large-scale man-made buildings in the Tang Dynasty, for example, every dynasty would repair part of the Great Wall.
In addition, some tombs from past dynasties are equally large in size, including the city walls of Chang'an City, which are also very large. But none of these can compare with the huge cement pier in front of me.
