Chapter 321 Repairing the Yellow River Bridge

Chongzhen tenth year, September 20th.

In Daming, in Shandong Province, between Jinan City and Dezhou, something extremely significant happened, which aroused discussion and attention from countless people at home and abroad.

It also makes countless Shandong people feel excited, cheering, and proud.

Because it is the first Yellow River Bridge in Daming Dynasty built with concrete box girder continuous steel structure, with a span of more than 2,000 meters and a maximum span of 150 meters. It allows large ships to pass through and plays a role in connecting traffic on both sides of the Yellow River.

, with the hard work and cooperation of Xujiazhuang’s professional bridge repair team, after nearly two years of construction, it was finally successfully completed!

The poem "A bridge flies over the north and south, and the chasm becomes a thoroughfare" has become the reality before us.

This dual-use road and rail facility allows a large number of passengers and goods to pass through, compressing the ferry time that originally took at least half an hour to less than ten minutes by express train or train.

Compared with the previous way of crossing the river by ferry, the construction of this Yellow River Bridge can save at least 1% of the cost in terms of logistics alone.

In addition to the huge economic promotion effect, it also brings great significance in three aspects.

First, the completion of the Yellow River Bridge means that super rivers like the Yellow River will no longer be obstacles that are difficult to cross in front of people, but small challenges that can be conquered with infrastructure technology, but they are completely surmountable.

.

Since the Yellow River Bridge can be repaired, the Yangtze River Bridge, Qianjiang River Bridge, Pearl River Bridge, etc. can all be built and completed in the future, thereby opening up traffic arteries and making economic development more active. People's exchanges will become more

More efficient and convenient.

Secondly, it means that many natural dangers have disappeared.

The bridge repair team in Xujiazhuang has such a strong infrastructure power. In the future, it can build more bridges according to needs and the economic benefits it brings. It can also make them longer, wider, and have a longer service life.

And the quality is better, that is, as long as it is profitable, such large bridges will appear on any major river sooner or later.

And this bridge connects the two sides of the Yellow River, which means that the two places are connected as one. Militarily, as long as you control this bridge, you control the Yellow River, and you can easily send tens of thousands of troops to the Yellow River.

On the other side, the troop transportation efficiency can be increased to more than 10,000 people per hour.

With such a terrifying troop transport efficiency, how can the defenders defend themselves and stop them in time? The best option is to completely ignore it, and Xujiazhuang's firm control of the bridge is basically equivalent to a military advantage.

, controlling and radiating the area north of the Yellow River, you can do whatever you want in the future.

Third, it means that more resources are available to humans, and the space for survival and development becomes broader.

For example, in many impoverished mountainous areas, it doesn't matter if the people there are relatively poor, but as long as there are a lot of minerals in the mountains, bridge-like roads can be built to get in. At most, a few more tunnels can be dug, and then the resources in the mountains can be transported out continuously.

, achieve wealth.

Mountainous areas can also develop fruit tree planting, forest farming, herbal medicine planting, tourism and other industries, with many development directions.

You can also travel through the endless Gobi and deserts to explore the Western Regions.

Or connect the Southeast Asian lands through land bridges to facilitate better management and intervention. Any problems can be solved quickly.

In short, the future development space may expand several times.

Chance.

Countless opportunities.

Therefore, after the completion of the Jinan Yellow River Bridge, most of the public response was anticipation and excitement, expressing a welcoming attitude, but there were also many voices of worry and fear:

"Xujiazhuang's ability to build bridges is so terrifying, and the natural dangers of the Yellow River have become invisible. What else can become an obstacle to Xujiazhuang in the future?"

"If we build a few more bridges across the river, the Ming Dynasty will basically be in the hands of Xujiazhuang, and we will all become turtles in the urn."

"That's right. From now on, Xujiazhuang will live if he wants us to live, die if he wants us to die, get rich if he wants us to be rich, and become poor if he wants us to be poor."

"It's time to take some measures to curb the threat Xujiazhuang poses to us. If things continue like this, even if Xujiazhuang doesn't change its dynasty, it will still exist like an uncrowned king."

"But so what if we worry again? We are no match for Xujiazhuang, and we have no ability to build a similar bridge. We can only adapt to the era dominated by Xujiazhuang."

"My hometown is quite remote and backward. It takes hundreds of miles to get out of the mountains. It is economically backward and poor and lacks resources. Can Xujiazhuang help us build a few bridges to solve the traffic problem in my hometown?"

"Haha, what are you dreaming about? Such a bridge costs more than 3 million silver dollars. I don't know how long it will take to earn back the cost of repairing the bridge. Even if you sell your hometown, you won't be able to raise the money to build the bridge. Even if you take a loan, you will have to repay it for dozens or even hundreds of years.

, Xujiazhuang will not engage in this kind of loss-making business with a long payback period.”

"It's better to stay poor in a poor place. If you can, go out of the mountains instead of bringing expensive infrastructure into the mountains. My mine is seriously short of manpower. Why don't you bring your relatives from the mountains to work in my mine to ensure that you make a fortune?"

Big money.”

"roll!"



Royal Palace, Yaohua Tower.

Room 901, the room where Zhang Yan lives.

Sitting on the sofa, I looked at the contents of today's issue of "Oriental Times" and the colorful pictures on the front page of the news, which showed the magnificent super bridge.

Although this bridge made Zhang Yan sigh in her heart, Xujiazhuang's industrial capacity was actually so strong. It really realized the "natural chasm turned into a thoroughfare" that Xu Yuan boasted, promoted the flow of passengers and goods, and greatly facilitated the people on both sides of the Yellow River.

.

but……

"If Xujiazhuang sends troops to attack the capital one day in the future, and crosses the Yellow River Bridge, within a few days, the road will be smooth, and they will reach the foot of the capital. Even the capital will not be able to respond, and it will fall into the hands of Xujiazhuang. The Zhu family will

This is how the royal family declined."

"In other words, as long as Xu Yuan wants to do something treasonous and unethical, he only needs to move his lips, and within a few days, he may achieve his goal. The existence or non-existence of the Ming Dynasty depends on his one thought.

In addition, Xujiazhuang is engaged in the "King Wangzhuang" in North Korea.

Yuan's attempt, once it achieves great success, will allow Xujiazhuang to earn countless money without having to bear too much burden, and the people's hearts will also be able to return to it. When he can have all three, being an emperor will naturally

Much better than being a businessman."

"Five years? Three years? Or two years later, it will be the right time for Xu Yuan to take action. I only have two or three years of this comfortable and comfortable life left? By then he will lead Xu Jiajun into the capital, should I commit suicide?

To be martyred, or to actively sacrifice one's life and seek a way out for the royal family, or to be willing to die in pieces rather than to live in ruins, with all the members of the royal family dying in resistance, and never succumbing to a businessman to show the steadfastness of the Ming Dynasty royal family?"

Shaked his head.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yan felt very anxious and couldn't calm down.

Part of her anxiety came from the Oriental Times report, but most of it came from the various brainwashings Emperor Zhu Youjian and Empress Zhou had subjected her to these days.

Zhu Youjian introduced her to the progress of the King's Manor in North Korea, saying that the people and officials of North Korea were overjoyed and motivated, bursting out with unprecedented energy. It was said that "it has not yet emerged from dilapidation, but there are signs of prosperity" and the development speed may be

It is several times that of the Ming Dynasty, which proves that the King's Manor is very likely to be a great success.

Queen Zhou, Zhou Yufeng, spoke a lot of dissatisfaction with Fang Qingyan in her ears. She was petty, stingy and arrogant, a villain, hostile to the royal family, etc. In short, she was a very bad woman. How threatening she was.

, may be a hundred times that of Xu Yuan, because a hundred years after Xu Yuan, the person responsible for what Xu Jiazhuang said may be her, or her son Xu Jiaguang. After Fang Qingyan of Xu Jiazhuang takes over, the royal family will still have a good life, will there be any good fruits to eat?

?

It's not bad as long as it's not destroyed immediately.

How could Zhang Yan not know what the couple's insinuations actually meant? They just wanted her to step forward and sacrifice for the royal family, seducing her with her beauty and seizing that far away, and gradually getting along with Fang Qing.

Yan fought in court and defended the interests of the royal family.

Zhang Yan was extremely resistant to their plan, but thinking about the crisis faced by the royal family, she had to slowly understand them. After all, if there was a better way, why bother bothering her as a widow.

There was even one time when Zhang Yan had to say to Zhou Yufeng: "I am getting older, my skin is sagging, wrinkles have appeared at the corners of my eyes, and I am old-fashioned and boring. Even if I am willing to help and go to Xu Yuan's side, it will be difficult to capture his heart.

It would take three months at most before you would get bored with me. In addition, I was persecuted by the Hakka family in my early years and lost my fertility. It was difficult for me to have anything to do. I was no match for Fang Qingyan, who had given birth to three sons and one daughter. I did not stand up to her.

capital.”

She analyzed it calmly and objectively, but she still couldn't help but blush.

Empress Zhou was overjoyed and relaxed. The emperor's sister-in-law's position has been relaxed. This is a good thing, a huge good thing.

Then he comforted her and advised her not to belittle herself. She is now at the age when she is most attractive. If she takes good care of herself, she will be favored for ten years. As for her fertility, she may not really lose it.

, as long as you take good care of it and ask for more, you might be able to create a miracle, the old clam contains pearls...

Zhou Yufeng couldn't say anything anymore. Zhang Yan, who was so embarrassed, pushed her out.

Come back to your senses.

Zhang Yan still has a pretty face that feels hot. She has a conservative and traditional mind and can't stand those unhealthy things.

"Sister-in-law, are you reading the newspaper?"

At this time, the familiar face of Queen Zhou came over. Seeing the newspaper and headline pictures in her hand, she suddenly felt something in her heart and came up with an idea: "Sister-in-law, this newspaper said that the Yellow River Bridge has been opened to traffic, and any traffic can be

After passing by, it will be more convenient to go to Xujiazhuang. How about we go to Harbor City again this year to purchase a batch of new year goods, take a look at the bridge, take some photos, and conduct an on-site inspection? "
