Xiaoqiao asked again: "Your Majesty, do you know that Mrs. Tang is going to hold a book recommendation conference?"
"Book recommendation conference?"
"Yes, it's just to gather some scholars to have a banquet, and then select ten best books and articles from the books and articles published this year, and then publish the results in the newspaper. The winner can also get some prizes, which can be said to be a win between fame and fortune.
I heard that there are many famous scholars going to participate, and it must be very lively."
Liu Xie turned around and looked at the little bridge that was so excited that he couldn't do it himself. "Do you want to go?"
"I want to go with His Majesty."
"Why do you have to follow me?" Liu Xie laughed silently. "You can go there for two days off."
"I am not as good as Cai Yan. Yuan Heng is knowledgeable and knowledgeable. He is so poor that he can't even use his writing skills to serve His Majesty. He will not be able to evaluate articles. If he doesn't argue at that time, he will only follow the crowd. What's the point?"
Liu Xie thought about it and said, "Which day?"
"It's not decided yet. If your Majesty is interested, I can go and inquire."
"Okay, tell me if you find out." Liu Xie stood up and said, "Also, don't make a statement for the time being, to prevent some people from attending the party, not for academic purposes, but for getting close to me."
"Yi." Xiaoqiao responded happily.
However, Liu Xie was a little inexplicably irritated and stood up and got out of the court.
It is not very reasonable for Mrs. Tang to hold such a big gathering for recommendations, but he didn't even receive any news. It is really unreasonable. In theory, even if he is not suitable for visiting in person, Mrs. Tang should have asked for instructions in advance.
After all, this bookstore was nominally hosted by Mrs. Tang, but in fact it was the content of the new policy he had organized.
Could it be that Cai Yan was demoted because she misunderstood?
——
When I arrived at the backyard, I heard the excited voices of Zhen Mi and Lu Xiaohuan before I even entered the door.
Liu Xie left after the voice, and saw Zhen Mi. Lu Xiaohuan was talking enthusiastically at the sight of several sketches of the bridge, and he didn't even notice that he entered the door. The two children were thrown aside and forgot to take care of them. One stood by the cradle and stood on tiptoe.
Looking at the younger brother lying in the cradle, the two of them looked at each other, and they didn't know why they were so happy, and they were so happy that they were drooling.
"What are you saying, so happy?" Liu Xie walked over, picked up the child standing on the ground, and touched his little feet with his hands. Although there were heating pipes under the floor, the floor was still a little cold.
"Your Majesty, can this bridge be made by Sister Zhen?" Lu Xiaohuan walked over and expressed his excitement.
"Can it be done? What does it have to do with you?" Liu Xie asked in confusion: "She built a bridge to be a marquis, and do you also want to be a marquis by relying on this marquis?"
"Of course not, but if such a large bridge can be really created, it will be more convenient to build bridges on the battlefield in the future." Lu Xiaohuan said with a smile: "I heard that although the Western Regions are not as rich as the Central Plains, there are many big rivers, which will inevitably be missing in the future."
It is necessary to build a bridge. It is so difficult to build a bridge, and those barbarians will definitely not, so they can only be transported by ship."
Liu Xie blinked his eyes and felt that Lu Xiaohuan was saying something.
Building a bridge on the Yellow River and quickly building a bridge on the battlefield is more meaningful for the Western Expedition.
In fact, the martial arts lecture hall has been studying how to quickly build a bridge, but it is not as radical as Zhen Mi. She wants to use expensive steel to build a bridge, but she is still at the stage where she mainly uses wood.
Sure enough, people have blind spots in their vision, and they only see the part they pay most attention to.
"Although Shangjun needs a bridge, there are not many household registrations. Even if this steel bridge can be built and there are not many people walking, I don't know when to recover the cost. It would be different to build a bridge on the battlefield. If the marching can be improved, it would be better.
Speed creates an opportunity for raids, and you can recover the cost in one battle..."
Lu Xiaohuan counted the benefits of quickly building bridges on the battlefield one by one with his fingers. Even Zhen Mi was attracted, and temporarily left behind his idea of building bridges on the Yellow River and discussed it with Lu Xiaohuan.
Liu Xie finally poured them a basin of cold water.
No matter where you build a bridge, no matter whether you build a large bridge across the Yellow River or an ordinary small bridge, you need to have a certain understanding of the structural mechanics of the bridge to minimize the cost. In a sense, the battlefield needs it
This is even more so. Once the design is unreasonable, it either cannot meet the requirements or is too heavy and loses its convenience.
With its current transportation capacity, it is impossible to run around with heavy bridges. Even if it can, it cannot achieve the suddenness of surprises.
Therefore, if you want to build a good bridge, you must first calm down and do research.
When it comes to research, Zhen Mi and Lu Xiaohuan frowned.
Lu Xiaohuan is a martial artist, and is inseparable from knowledge. At that time, Lu Bu and his wife forced her to study and used all kinds of tricks. As a result, she was still semi-illiterate. On the contrary, Lu Bu made great progress and actually read several Confucian classics catchy.
Zhen Mi is a little better, but she is powerless and really doesn't have that IQ.
"Your Majesty, I... can I give you a suggestion?"
"Speak and listen."
"There are too many things to study in the martial arts hall recently. The craftsmen are all busy, and there are very few people who can concentrate on studying bridge building. It is so difficult to build bridges alone. It is probably difficult to achieve success by craftsmen alone.
There are also a large number of talents who are proficient in math. I wonder if you can recruit some people to study this technology. There are so many rivers in the world, if you can build a good bridge, it will be of great use. You can build a bridge on the river and on the river.
It can also build bridges, Huai River and Si River."
Liu Xie thought about it carefully and felt it was reasonable.
Putting all technical research into the martial arts hall may not be the best choice. Civilian functions such as bridge building are significantly greater than military functions can be separated and organized to complete them. In this way, martial arts halls can also concentrate on their energy and research
Technology at the strategic level of gunpowder, steelmaking, etc.
"How about you try it first?" Liu Xie suggested.
Zhen Mi was right in mind and immediately asked another question: Where does the money come from?
The salaries of so many people, the trial-made materials, especially the high-quality steel, are very expensive, and without the consent of the emperor, you may not be able to buy them even if you have money.
Liu Xie and Zhen Mi discussed and decided to walk on two legs: the court allocated some money, then raised some money from the public and private enterprises. After success, the technology belongs to the court, and the cooperative non-governmental organizations can be given priority authorization and therefore the supply of high-quality steel.
.
The Situ Mansion is responsible for this part of the court, while the Zhen Mi is responsible for this part of the folk.
There are many wealthy businessmen in Zhongshan, and Wuji Zhen is just one of the representatives. They don’t lack money, but they lack good projects. As long as they have good projects, it is not difficult to raise hundreds of millions of dollars.
Zhen Mi is so enthusiastic about building a bridge that in addition to being a marquis, she also has this consideration.
Now that Liu Xie has given her this opportunity, she naturally has to seize it.
If the direction is determined, the relevant details will be easier to handle. At that time, the Situ Mansion will naturally arrange someone to connect with each other.
Similar practices have been tried in Jizhou. Zhuge Liang was in charge of Handan, and Huang Yueying was in charge of related road transformation, and the public-private joint ventures were very effective. Situ Mansion also held a special seminar for this, intending to promote such experiences across the country.
, in order to use the financial resources and talents of the people to speed up the development speed.
Everything happened naturally, but it was just a lack of opportunity.
