Chapter 312 What Fengyang saw and heard!
"This is nothing. When the embankments on both sides of the river are built in the future, King Wu plans to build a bridge across the river!" Fang Keqin said.
hiss!
Everyone took a breath and couldn't believe it.
"Master Fang, I can understand building a dam, but look at how wide the river is. What kind of bridge can stand firm in this fast river?"
And didn’t you just say that we need to use boats on this river? If we need to use boats, how can we build a bridge?"
"Yes, Mr. Fang, we are not doubting His Highness King Wu, but what he said is a bit whimsical!"
Everyone said politely.
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he called it ridiculous. If the width of the Huaihe River was only one-third, he would still believe it, but the width was at least one hundred and fifty feet.
And the Huaihe River is not a small river. Even in the dry season, the flow of the river is very large.
Unless you cut off the river, it's absolutely impossible.
Fang Keqin's face also felt a little burning, but he thought of the drawings he saw and said: "To be honest, King Wu has already designed the drawings of the bridge.
After the flood control period is over and the embankments are repaired, construction will begin. The bridge will be completed and will directly connect the north and south. Boats can pass under the bridge and people can walk on the bridge.
In the future, there will be no obstacles to connecting the north and the south!"
Everyone felt like they were just hearing a fantasy.
Boats can walk under the bridge and people can walk on the bridge. How tall and large is the bridge?
Is that really something that humans can create?
Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but secretly shake their heads.
But even if Zhu Jun couldn't build the bridge, with this embankment, he didn't have to worry about the dam breaking.
Moreover, the conditions given by Fang Keqin are still very attractive.
If you buy a property here, the land will be given to you for free. Not only that, it will also be tax-free and a monument will be erected. If you are short of funds, you can also ask the prefect's Yamen for help. The Wu Prince's Palace will act as a guarantee, and you can borrow money at low interest or even interest-free.
However, it is limited to members of Yingtian Chamber of Commerce.
Of course, the conditions are there and priority will be given to recruiting locals.
It is not allowed to withdraw within ten years. Once it withdraws, it will be a breach of contract. The prefect's Yamen will join forces with the Wu Prince's Palace to sue the defaulters.
They had already been exposed to these things in Yingtian and were not opposed to them.
Overall, it's a win-win situation.
At present, many people have decided to invest here.
Fang Keqin was overjoyed and said quickly: "It's easy to talk about. Which piece of land you are interested in, and what kind of industry you want to invest here, write a plan."
You can pass without any problem."
After everyone inspected it, they also seriously considered whether they wanted to invest here. Those who planned to invest also wrote applications according to the template of the prefect's Yamen.
If you don't understand, there is someone from the yamen waiting to explain.
Returning to the magistrate's yamen, Fang Keqin sighed, "Your Highness is right. Sitting in the yamen at a high level is not a good official. Only going out, bringing in people, and prospering the place is what an official should do."
Fang Keqin felt that he had touched the true meaning of being an official, and felt ashamed of his former nobility.
That's just false innocence.
At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang left the State Guesthouse and walked on the streets of Fengyang, looking at the newly built Fourteenth Square, which was filled with dust.
There are craftsmen and...soldiers from the Huaixi Governor's Mansion.
"The family relationship between soldiers and civilians is indeed a love between fish and water!" Zhu Yuanzhang thought of the memorial submitted by Zhu Jun and couldn't help laughing, "But, how much money does these fourteen squares cost?
Fengyang is still building roads, traveling five miles a day, and building dams along the river. How much money is this? Is the little money given by the court enough?
And... does he really plan to build the bridge across the river?
Oh, we also forgot that there were more than 10,000 fellow villagers who were raised by him in the Zhongdu Palace.
All this eating and drinking, buying and selling clothes, having a headache and a fever, are all money."
At this moment, even Zhu Yuanzhang felt a headache. How much money did the court receive?
He knew very well, how long could this money last?
That bastard will never speak in order to fulfill the bet.
"Master Zhu, do you want to go into the palace and have a look?" Liu Ji asked.
"No, keep walking, we want to see the school and the hospital!" Zhu Yuanzhang said.
Liu Ji followed Zhu Yuanzhang silently. To be honest, when he walked around today, it felt like he had entered another country.
It's hard to imagine how Zhu Jun did all this.
The prince's talents are outstanding, but there are traces to follow.
There is a shadow of Zhu Yuanzhang in his work.
But there was no trace of the two of them in what Fengyang did.
Have you ever seen the prefect standing outside the city to greet a business delegation?
Have you ever seen the prefect let merchants stay and invest in order to attract investment, eat and drink at public expense, and receive them personally?
An official is an official, and a businessman is a businessman.
What's more, Fang Keqin is an extremely honest and honest official.
But he bowed his proud head.
Liu Ji wanted to ask him, where is your arrogance and nobleness?
Have you fed all the dogs?
He ignored Song Lian's attempts to win over him.
It is simply unreasonable to look at a mad king in a different light and even take his words as a guideline!
Zhu Yuanzhang asked all the way and finally found out where Fengyang Fenjin Hall was.
It used to be Wu Lang's Huaiyin Marquis Mansion, but now the sign has been removed and it has been turned into a school.
There were soldiers guarding the door, and the sound of reading could be heard from inside.
Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to go over and have a look, but as soon as he got closer, he was scolded by the soldiers at the door: "During class, no idlers are allowed in!"
Jiang Huan was furious and wanted to take out the sign of the Arch Guards Division, but was stopped by Zhu Yuanzhang, "Forget it, go to the hospital!"
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled, not angry at all, but left with a smile. Not far away was Xue Yang's mansion, which was converted into Fengyang Hospital!
No one is allowed to enter here, and there is an endless stream of people coming in and out.
"Oh, it's amazing. Once I take this medicine, my high fever will go away!"
"That's not what happened. My Huzi has been suffering from fever for three days. He is all confused from the fever. He is holding the baby and crying, and his eyes are almost blind from crying.
I went to a doctor and gave him medicine, but it didn’t help at all!
As a result, I brought him over here and gave the injection. Within an hour, the child was sweating, energetic, and no longer had a fever!" A middle-aged woman was holding a three- or four-year-old child in her arms.
The child's eyes were still a little red and swollen, as if he had cried.
"Hey, I heard from the doctor at the hospital that this medicine is very expensive, and one injection costs several taels of silver. It's because His Highness King Wu took pity on ordinary people like me, knowing that I can't afford to see a doctor, so it only costs a hundred cents.
The hospital can't even take back the money for this hundred yuan!" An old man next to him said: "Hey, His Highness King Wu is really a bodhisattva who saves the suffering. Ever since he came to Fengyang, the lives of our people have been getting better day by day.
ah!"
