Zhao Xuanyi nodded when he heard Shen Wei's answer. Shen Wei was very fast and considerate. After discussion, Li Hanrui decided to put the food in the yard where they lived. Li Hanrui now wished he could sleep with his eyes open. Looking at this piece of grain, if I lose it again, I will lose my life!
Under the protection of Shen Wei, Jinglan and others, Zhao Xuanyi went to the broken bridge in the west outside Qianqiu City. He took a closer look at the broken bridge. It was really not small. It should be five meters wide and at least twenty meters long. The distance was The height of the water surface should be about eight meters.
The river below was very turbulent. After all, it was the rainy season, and there had been heavy rains for days. After Zhao Xuanyi dismounted, he walked to the broken bridge and took a look. He saw that the wood of the broken bridge had rotted. He could tell at a glance that it was too old, and inside Basically no steel, just wood, stone and rammed earth!
Shen Wei came over and said, "I heard that this bridge was fifty years old and was recently broken due to floods!"
Zhao Xuanyi nodded after hearing this. The wisdom of the ancients was not inferior to that of modern people at all, but their ideas were older. Zhao Xuanyi visually measured the distance and slowly began to calculate in his mind!
"Young Master, are you sure? What should we do at such a long distance?" Shen Wei asked.
Zhao Xuanyi smiled, "Build a road through the mountains and build a bridge over the water! Isn't this a very simple thing? It's just a little more troublesome to do. Let's go back for lunch first, and then prepare to build the bridge in the afternoon!"
"Young Master, can you still build bridges?" Shen Wei asked in surprise.
Zhao Xuanyi slowly turned around and glanced at Shen Wei very arrogantly, "What do you think? Is there anything I can't do, young master?" After Zhao Xuanyi finished speaking, he threw off his cloak very handsomely and walked towards Aoxue!
Shen Wei thought for a while and said casually, "Have a baby!"
"..." Zhao Xuanyi stumbled and almost fell. Others laughed after hearing this. Zhao Xuanyi glared at Shen Wei, "That's not because I don't know how to do it, but because Zi Yuan refuses! Please watch your words in the future!" Zhao Xuanyi warned seriously.
Shen Wei smiled and nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, I was wrong!"
When Zhao Xuanyi returned to his residence, he saw that hundreds of people had surrounded the gate of the house, and the soldiers stood guard outside as if facing a formidable enemy, for fear that these people would snatch the food!
Seeing that Zhao Xuanyi was back, Liu Bo hurriedly ran over, "Uncle, you are back, what do you want to do? So many people are surrounding the gate of the mansion, and they won't leave no matter how hard they blast! The general ordered the door to be locked to prevent these people. People go in!"
After Zhao Xuanyi saw it, he was not very surprised. These things seemed to be part of his plan. Zhao Xuanyi rode a horse and came in front of everyone, his eyes swept over the millions of people, and he smiled softly.
"Want to eat?" Zhao Xuanyi asked loudly.
"Yes... I think so!" everyone replied loudly.
Hundreds of people were all kneeling on the ground. "Sir, we are forced to have no choice! We are really hungry!"
"Yes, sir, give us some food! Please!"
Seeing the scene in front of him, Zhao Xuanyi's expression did not change at all, "Sure! I don't care if you are good people or not, and I don't care how many people have died in your family now. Let me declare first that I have no morals, so don't use morals to kidnap you. ! It’s easy to eat, but we have conditions!”
When everyone heard that there were conditions, the best thing to do was, "Sir, tell me, how can I get food?"
"It's simple, follow me to the mountains to cut wood in the afternoon. I'm going to build a bridge at the broken bridge. Those who work will have food at night. Those who don't want to move will have nothing to eat. It's that simple! And I can also tell you, just This meal!" Zhao Xuanyi said coldly.
"One meal? What about tomorrow? What will we do if you leave? Can't you just ignore us?" an old man shouted.
"Yes, we are also the people of the Ming Dynasty! Aren't you a disaster relief person? We are also victims of the disaster!" Everyone started talking.
Zhao Xuanyi waved his hand, "I'm really sorry. I know you are victims of the disaster, but the emperor doesn't know that the disaster area he thinks is in Henan, not far from here, twenty kilometers away, so if you want to have a second meal, it's easy. I'll help you today." After I build the bridge, I will follow our team to Henan tomorrow, which is not far away. Once there, you will be victims of the disaster in Henan, so you will naturally have food to eat!"
When everyone heard this, they realized that they all nodded and were willing to help, as long as they had food to eat!
Zhao Xuanyi walked into the courtyard and met Li Hanrui. He heard what Zhao Xuanyi said outside just now, and gave Zhao Xuanyi a thumbs up: "Brother-in-law, you are still smart, now you can solve their problems! This is you, if this is I, I don’t care about these unruly people!”
Zhao Xuanyi shook his head, "Who cares? But... they just want to live! Forget it, let's not talk about it. Do you have food? I'm hungry!"
"Yes, come into the room and eat!" Li Hanrui called everyone into the room.
In the room, rice porridge, sesame cakes, and a plate of pickles were prepared. It was probably a gluttonous feast here. Everyone hurriedly sat down and started eating!
Li Hanrui gave Zhao Xuanyi a piece of salty radish and said, "Brother-in-law, I just heard that you want to build a bridge. Can you do it?"
Zhao Xuanyi smiled, "I really don't have the ability to build a building that will last for a hundred years, but it shouldn't be a problem to make a temporary pass!" Zhao Xuanyi looked around, took the chopstick bucket on the side, and took out nine of them. Chopsticks, then put two chopsticks on the table!
When everyone saw what Zhao Xuanyi was doing, they all gathered around and looked carefully at what Zhao Xuanyi was doing. Zhao Xuanyi put one chopstick in the air, then hit two chopsticks on it, and then put two chopsticks on the opposite side in the opposite direction, and then again. Add a beam chopstick!
By analogy, after all nine chopsticks were used up, a very simple arched covered bridge emerged. Zhao Xuanyi placed a bowl of rice porridge on the chopstick bridge. The chopstick bridge was only slightly shorter, but its bearing capacity was very strong!
"Covered bridge?" Zi Yuan said in surprise.
"That's right, there is this painting in the Song Dynasty's Qingming River Scene. It is very sturdy. Make a simple one and line up the cross section with wooden boards. If you are worried about the endurance, then just pass one car at a time. It should be no problem!" Zhao Xuanyi said.
Everyone nodded, "Young Master, you are truly a talent!" Shen Wei said with a smile.
"I really can't speak, I'm a genius! Hurry up and eat, I'm very busy in the afternoon!" Zhao Xuanyi said.
"Yes!" After everyone read it, they all hurriedly ate!
Shen Wei looked at the chopstick bridge on the table and couldn't help but sigh, "I wish I had given you the responsibility of escorting this trip in the first place. We also encountered the same thing in Huangli Village. Everyone was so anxious that they almost died. In the end, if it wasn't There is an old man who can build bridges, but we probably won’t be able to get here!”
Zhao Xuanyi snorted, "This kind of errand? I'd better not accept it if I can!"
"Hahaha!" Everyone laughed.
Zhao Xuanyi was eating, why did he feel like there were two eyes staring at him? Feeling a cold feeling on his back, Zhao Xuanyi turned around suddenly and saw Wang Dengdeng looking at him with sharp eyes. Zhao Xuanyi looked around, had he done anything to make her angry?
Just after noon, Zhao Xuanyi and others had just walked out of the house. They saw that the number of people outside had become more and more dark. Looking at the situation, there were at least a thousand people, and the number of children had increased significantly!
Zhao Xuanyi looked at Li Hanrui and sighed, "I opened some grain to make porridge. I want to give a bite to a child under twelve years old. The adults can still resist it, but the children can't!"
Seeing so many thin children, Li Hanrui could only nod, "Come here, prepare a big pot for porridge!"
"yes!"
Zhao Xuanyi got on his horse and said, "Children under the age of twelve and old men over seventy years old will stay. The rest will all go with me to log wood outside the city!"
"Okay...!" Thousands of people shouted loudly, raising the tools in their hands.
Hundreds of people came outside the city and started logging according to Zhao Xuanyi's request. This was an important matter. Naturally, they had to pick the thickest and best wood. Fortunately, ancient people would not cut down the wood indiscriminately. All the wood on the mountain was harvested. Inexhaustible and inexhaustible!
A total of more than forty pieces of wood, large and small, were cut and transported to the broken bridge. They started building the bridge on the spot. After repairing it, Zhao Xuanyi took a ruler and marked out the distance. Then he started secondary processing, peeling off the bark and cutting out the wood. Groove and build!
After it was built, the wooden boards began to be put on. The wooden boards were grooved according to the distance, and then buckled on the bridge body. Then they were reinforced with wooden nails. The wooden bridge was built in one afternoon. After the bridge was built, a new problem appeared. Got it! That's how to build a bridge on both sides!
There is no Hulk here, let alone Superman, and no one has the strength to lift it up and put it on both sides of the river! Li Hanrui looked at Zhao Xuanyi, "Don't tell me you haven't figured out how to match it?"
Zhao Xuanyi pushed Li Hanrui away and said, "You don't have to worry about the Qilin Guards! Tang Tianli!"
"Here! General, give me the order!" Tang Tianli shouted.
"Throw it to the opposite side with a rope, slide over, and then tie a few more ropes and let all the Qilin Guards slide to the opposite side and listen to my command!"
"Yes!" Tang Tianli took off his clothes and put down the iron-ringed soft mail armor inside. "All Qilin Guards, take off your soft mail armor and follow me to the opposite side!"
"Yes!" More than fifty Qilin Guards began to take off their heavy soft armor, and then set up ropes. After that, all the Qilin Guards crawled along the ropes to the other side. This scene made the people present dumbfounded. With a rope, these soldiers can climb on it like apes? It's really rare!
Not to mention the common people, even Li Hanrui and his soldiers were surprised, "Can the Qilin Guards do such an action?"
"Your men can't even do this?" Zhao Xuanyi said with a hint of ridicule.
Li Hanrui looked at Zhao Xuanyi and smiled, "Stop showing off in front of me. How about I hand over my elite knights to you and help me train them?"
After Zhao Xuanyi heard this, his face became a little stiff, "Forget it, I have no intention of leading troops now, let's talk about it later!"
More than fifty Qilin Guards all crossed the river through ropes and went to the other side. Tang Tianli gave Zhao Xuanyi a safe gesture!
"Bury the wooden piles on the spot immediately, quickly!" Zhao Xuanyi ordered!
"Yes!" More than fifty people began digging soil and burying wooden piles on the spot.
Zhao Xuanyi looked at Li Hanrui and said, "Let the people bury the stakes here too!"
"clear!"
Wooden piles were buried on both sides of the broken bridge, and nearly a hundred hemp ropes were found to tie the wooden bridge together. The ordinary ropes were tied with stones and thrown to the opposite side. Tang Tianli and his men immediately caught them, and more than fifty people tied them up. The rope went around the stakes and started to pull to the opposite side!
Logs were placed under the wooden bridge, and they were slowly forced toward the opposite side as the other side was pulled. Zhao Xuanyi from the rear also had people pull it tight, forming a balancing force on both sides, completely flattening the wooden bridge, and then slowly sending it to many sides. , hundreds of people under the wooden bridge continue to replace logs, one at a time to increase driveability!
As slogans were shouted one after another, the wooden bridge slowly moved towards the other side under more than a hundred ropes. Fortunately, it was a wooden bridge. If it were a steel bridge, it would not be able to pull it, but fortunately there were many people!
After about an hour, a section of the wooden bridge was finally built on the opposite shore. This solved the big problem. Then both sides hurriedly reinforced the two ends of the wooden bridge with ropes and wooden piles to prevent it from moving. !
At this point, the wooden bridge was successfully built. Tang Tianli led everyone back from the opposite side on the new wooden bridge. The wooden bridge did not move at all along the way and was very solid. After Tang Tianli came back, he was out of breath from exhaustion. Just now More than fifty people were very tired from pulling this wooden bridge!
"General, it was successfully completed!" Tang Tianli said.
"Brothers, thank you for your hard work. There will be good food and wine when you return to the capital. Let's go back and rest first. Then, when it's getting dark, let people prepare meals. Let's go back. Everyone can have porridge tonight!" Zhao Xuanyi! shouted.
