Chapter 1013

In the Tai Chi hall, hundreds of officials gather. Now the Tang Dynasty has become more and more prosperous, which can be described as good news. These three years can be said to be the most comfortable three years for Li Shimin.

This made him relaxed, but he always felt that something was missing. His eyes involuntarily floated towards Merton at the end. However, Merton was silent, which made Li Shimin a little disappointed and miss the constantly tossing Mozi. At that time, although he loved and hated the constantly tossing Mozi, he had a very full life.

"Your Highness Hui, now the brick road from the South Bank of Hankou Yangtze River to Lingnan has been completed. So far, the whole line has been completed from Taiyuan in the north to Lingnan in the south. Please check it!" his highness Tai Chi, Zhang Liang, Minister of the Ministry of work, said proudly.

These three years are also the most shining three years of the Ministry of industry. With the improvement of the finance of the Tang Dynasty, the money allocated to the Ministry of industry has also increased. With the support of a large amount of money, brick roads have been paved, and various projects have been approved one after another. The achievements of the Ministry of industry are extremely gratifying. Naturally, Zhang Liang, as the Minister of the Ministry of industry, has also increased and his status is detached, He has become a hot man in the court and has been praised by Li Shimin many times.

Moreover, the North-South brick road is unblocked, and it forms a cross shaped traffic with the Longhai line in Datang. It can be said that it plays a general role as a catalyst. In an instant, Datang traffic is unblocked and business travel is continuous. It can be expected that Datang's tax will rise again this year.

"Congratulations, your majesty! So far, the Tang Dynasty is connected from north to south, convenient from east to west, and one family in the world. It is really a scene of prosperity!" Xiao Yu, Duke of the state of song, said with a happy face.

The construction of the North-South brick road has many benefits for Jiangnan. In the past three years, relying on its superior natural conditions, the South has actively promoted the development of Jiangnan, transporting fruits in summer and vegetables in winter, coupled with the promotion of rice in Johor and the popularization of water conservancy workshops, Jiangnan has made a lot of profits in recent years, developed with each passing day, and taxes have increased sharply year after year, It can be said without hesitation that almost all the prospects for the great development of the south of the Yangtze River envisaged by Merton have been realized.

This made Xiao Yu, the Duke of the state of song, more important in the court, and became the pursuit of Jiangnan aristocratic family, which was not inferior to Zhang Liang. As for other courtiers, they were much inferior to the other two. In addition, Merton's three-year dormancy made them like the sun in the sky.

"Well, thanks to the joint efforts of all the ministers, our Tang Dynasty is like this. Now the world is peaceful and everyone lives and works in peace and contentment. I thank you for your love for the people all over the world." Li Shimin said with elation. The prosperity of the Tang Dynasty is obvious to all. Li Shimin naturally sees it in his eyes, but he is very proud. Unfortunately, Li Yuan has passed away, Otherwise, it must be seen by my father.

"Congratulations to your majesty, congratulations to your majesty. This is the merit of your Majesty's wise leadership!" the ministers congratulated one after another. For a moment, the whole court was in harmony.

"Tell your majesty, I have one more thing I want your majesty to judge." Zhang Liang, the Minister of the Ministry of work, bowed again.

"Oh! Aiqing, just say it!" Li Shimin felt happy and waved his big hand.

"Around Chang'an City, there is also a super project comparable to the North-South brick road, that is, the Weishui bridge. Weishui bridge is the northern gateway of Chang'an city. It has an irreplaceable position, costs a lot of money, and can't be careless. However, heaven envies talents. Li Yunshen, the chief Engineer of Weishui bridge, is seriously ill. It's really not suitable to shoulder this heavy responsibility. Please choose another talent." in the court, Zhang Liang, the Minister of the Ministry of works, bowed and took out a stack of ink magazines and distributed them to all officials.

"Chief engineer Li Yun."

"After Li Chun, Li Yun!"

"Li Yun, a descendant of the Mohist family's Xiangfu family."

The eyes of the courtiers flashed. They couldn't help sighing when they looked at the report in the ink magazine. Such a young hero suddenly suffered from this strange disease. It's really jealous of talents.

Li Shimin couldn't help but blink in his eyes. He suddenly remembered that the energetic young man four years ago coincided with the thin man in a wheelchair in Ink magazine, and couldn't help sighing slightly.

"Did Li Yun ever play his resignation?" Li Shimin suddenly asked.

Zhang Liang was stunned and said, "back to your majesty, Li Yun didn't resign. However, it is said that Li Yun has been bad at walking and needs to take a wheelchair to move. I'm afraid it's not suitable for the general manager to build the Weishui bridge."

When Zhang Liang finished, all the officials nodded. If a bridge building master could not visit the bridge deck in person, wouldn't it be like scratching his boots and watching fire from the shore? If there were any mistakes and the Weishui bridge fell short, it would be a heavy loss for Datang. After all, the importance of Weishui bridge is well known.

"Weishui bridge is the northern throat of Chang'an city. You need to be careful. I think it's better to choose talents." the head of the Ministry of work is poor.

"Your Majesty, it's taboo to change generals a while ago! Although chief engineer Li is seriously ill, he has not stopped building the Weishui bridge, not to mention that the reason why chief engineer Li got this strange disease is also due to the repair of the bridge. If he is replaced at the moment, it is still unknown whether he can find a suitable candidate, which will make the meritorious officials feel cold!" another minister pointed to Mo magazine and retorted, After all, Li Yun did a good job in the past four years, which made the Weishui bridge complete smoothly. Therefore, he was suffering from a strange disease and still insisted on building the bridge, which made many ministers feel sympathy.

Li Shimin had a headache. The Weishui bridge is a new type of bridge, which has never been tried before. The design drawings and construction methods are all based on the bridge repair skills of Xiangfu. If you change people rashly, I'm afraid there is really no suitable candidate. Moreover, he also saw Li Yun's sacrifice for the Weishui bridge. It can be said that he devoted all his efforts to the Weishui bridge. If you replace them rashly, For Li Yun, it is indeed a cruel thing.

"The Weishui bridge involves a great deal of personal affairs. I believe Li Jiangzuo can understand it. As for the replacement candidate, it is more simple. Since the construction of the Weishui bridge, our work department has always paid attention to it, and the new chief construction supervision work department can certainly choose the right candidate." Lang Shengdao, the head of the work department.

"In my opinion, you see that the Weishui bridge is about to be completed. You want to pick peaches!" suddenly a voice appeared in the hall.

People were stunned and turned their heads one after another, but they found that it was Merton who had been silent for three years. In the past three years, although Merton went to court many times, he didn't say a word more. Chaotang has long been used to it.

The head of the Ministry of work had long known that Merton would come out to stop it. He responded freely and said, "don't talk about it. I'm going to do it for the public. I believe chief engineer Li will understand and don't want to waste his efforts."

Merton nodded and said, "chief engineer Li has devoted all his efforts to the Weishui bridge. Naturally, he is not willing to pay for his efforts."

The head of the Ministry of work couldn't help smiling proudly. Mojiazi was the architect of the Weishui bridge. Even he said so. Didn't he have abandoned Li Yun, while Zhang Liang, the Minister of the Ministry of work, frowned. With his understanding of mojiazi, he knew that giving up so easily was not the style of mojiazi.

Sure enough, Merton continued, "so chief engineer Li decided to continue to build the Weishui bridge until it was completed."

"Continue to build!" all the ministers were in an uproar. They should know that Li Yun was paralyzed and couldn't even walk. Although they admired Li Yun's efforts, they knew that it was inappropriate for Li Yun to continue to build the Weishui bridge.

"Mohou's words are too arrogant. Are you deceiving me? No one can build the Weishui bridge except Li Yun." the head of the Ministry of work was furious.

Merton naturally nodded and said, "indeed, I'm afraid no one in the whole Tang Dynasty can repair the Weishui bridge except Li Yun. Even Mo will repair it himself. I'm afraid it will take at least two years to know the Weishui bridge. As for others, either Mo talks big, or the drawings of the Weishui bridge are put in front of the masters of the Ministry of industry, they can't understand."

In an instant, everyone in the Ministry of work suddenly turned black. Merton's words can be said to belittle them. However, they had nothing to say. After all, what Merton said is the truth.

Zhang Liang had to take the line to speak for the work department and said, "naturally, we know that chief engineer Li is the best candidate. However, chief engineer Li is disabled, bad in practice, and can't even climb the bridge with or without medicine. How to preside over the bridge repair."

Merton smiled and said: "It's not difficult. In the southeast of the Weishui bridge, there is a three storey building, which is the headquarters of the Weishui bridge. The Mojia village will urgently transform it into five floors, so that chief engineer Li can live in the top floor. Coupled with the observation platform specially prepared by the Mojia, the ordinary telescope is enough to have a panoramic view of the whole Weishui bridge, even if chief engineer Li stays at home, You can also know the Weishui bridge like the back of your hand. "

"If you want to be poor for thousands of miles, go to a higher level!" the ministers involuntarily emerged Merton's poem in their hearts, but they didn't expect that the mojiazi would use this poem incisively and vividly here. The telescope of the star viewing platform can observe the moon, and it's a little overqualified to watch the Weishui bridge.

Zhang Liang couldn't help humming: "it's ridiculous. Is it a climb to build the bridge? Chief engineer Li can see it clearly. How can the workers far away on the bridge hear how to supervise the progress of the bridge."

All the ministers nodded one after another. What Zhang Liang said was very true. Even if Li Yun stood on the fifth floor and looked at it clearly, it would be out of reach. Whether it was delivered or supervised, it would always be a step late, and it was easy to make mistakes.

Merton had long thought of this strategy and nodded: "so, it needs someone to act as Li Yun's right arm to replace Li Yun's supervisor in building the bridge. It happens that there is such a person around Li Yun. He has been involved since the construction of the Weishui bridge, and he has made great contributions. In addition to Li Yun, I'm afraid he is the most familiar with the Weishui bridge."

"He is the ancestor of mathematics!" Murton said loudly.

"Zu Mingjun!"

Everyone nodded. In the report of Ink magazine, Li Yun built the Weishui bridge. Li Yun, who is proficient in parabola, is said to have made great contributions. Both of them are knowledgeable and have their own strengths. They have become a close friend.

Merton said proudly, "Li Yun is responsible for the design and planning, and then Zu Mingjun is responsible for the communication and supervision. They cooperate with each other and complement each other's strengths and weaknesses. It is certain that the Weishui bridge can be completed on schedule. This is not a good story of Bo Yazi's period, which will be handed down for future generations."

"Boya Ziqi!" the Minister of the Manchu Dynasty moved in his heart. They were all familiar with poetry and books. Naturally, they were very familiar with the story of Boya Ziqi.

It is said that Boya is good at playing drums and zither and Zhong Ziqi is good at listening. Boya's goal is to play drums and zither in high mountains. Zhong Ziqi said, "goodness, Emei, if Mount Tai!" and Zhong Ziqi said, "goodness, if the ocean is like a river!" as Boya reads, Zhong Ziqi will get it. When Ziqi dies, Boya says that there is no bosom friend in the world, but he breaks the zither and stops playing drums all his life.

Boya Ziqi is a bosom friend of each other, which makes many people yearn for it. Now they suddenly find that the affair between Li Yun and Zu Mingjun is not the Boya Ziqi of the contemporary Tang Dynasty.

The two worked together to build the Weishui bridge. When the bridge was about to be completed, Li Yun was disabled and insisted on building the bridge with a telescope. Zu Mingjun became Li Yun's tongue and arm. He went to the bridge for Li Yun and supervised the construction. Isn't such a bosom friend enviable.

Li Shimin was excited. The Weishui bridge is related to the northern passage of Chang'an city. Naturally, there can be no loss. The sooner it is completed, the more benefits. Now Li Yun and Zu Mingjun cooperate with each other, which can not only give full play to their talents, but also make the Weishui Bridge completed on schedule. Isn't it both beautiful.

"More importantly, although the Weishui bridge is a super project that surpasses all the bridges in Datang, it is only a new attempt for the new bridge. In the future, the more magnificent Yellow River Bridge and Yangtze River Bridge need the bridge construction knowledge of chief engineer Li. The so-called step by step does not reach thousands of miles. If chief engineer Li has not completed the small Weishui bridge, he will design and start the construction of the Yellow River Bridge There is no way to talk about the Yangtze River Bridge, "Merton said solemnly.

Zhang Liang said that the North-South brick road is unblocked is just an empty statement. There are at least two obstacles on the brick road from Taiyuan to Lingnan, that is, the Yangtze River and the Yellow River. No matter the goods in the south of the Yangtze River or in the north, once they arrive at the Yangtze River and the Yellow River, they can only use water transportation and ferry goods by boat, but it takes a lot of effort, which adds to the urgency of building the Yellow River and the Yangtze River Bridge.

In an instant, the whole dynasty was silent. What Merton said was right. Although Weishui bridge is the first bridge in Datang at present, it has more wide and complex rivers than Weishui. For the future, it seems that the magnificent Weishui bridge is really a small project, and there are even more elements to accumulate Bridge construction experience.

Li Shimin nodded slowly and said, "the Weishui bridge is a new attempt of the Datang bridge. It can be said that he crossed the river by touching the stone. Since more than half of Li Yun has passed, it is really a taboo to change generals before the battle. I hope he will not betray my trust and compose a real high mountain and flowing water for me with Zu Mingjun."

"Thank you for your trust!" Morton said solemnly.

People looked at Merton with complex eyes and immediately understood that the once sharp Mohist son had come back. Today, his idea was unrestrained, but people couldn't help but be convinced. What a difficult situation was solved in his hands.

"This is the real Mohist family. If you don't sing for three years, you will become a blockbuster." the ministers sighed.

If Merton knew what everyone was thinking, he would smile and say, "no! It's Mo's daughter who has entered school and finally freed her hand."
