No matter if you are a human or an immortal, you can still farm for me after traveling through time!

It has just entered June, and the temperature has just risen at this time in previous years. I wonder if it is because of the intermittent heavy rain for seven or eight days, which took away the remaining coolness in the northwest.

The sun above people's heads is bright and big. After it jumps out from the horizon, it shines tirelessly and is bound to dry out everything on the earth.

The Weushui River has returned to its normal water level and is flowing quietly. It no longer looks like it was when it surged and swallowed up everything. After the flood receded, it left a mess on both sides of the river bank, including dead branches, broken trees, mud and gravel. and various sundries.

Both sides of the river bank were bustling with people, and apart from the farmers who were sorting out the debris left behind on their farmland, the most eye-catching thing was the large construction site that suddenly appeared overnight.

The open space is not only filled with various long and short logs, but also men who are constantly carrying earth and rocks. Under the overall command of Magistrate Hong, they are like neat and orderly worker ants. One team digs the soil and the other transports it. Soil, a team of people moved rocks.

In the early morning, loud chants continued to erupt at the construction site. Three groups of workers took turns digging soil all night, and finally dug out the prototype of a bridge abutment.

The bank of Weishui River is not high, so the previous stone bridge was designed as a flat plate, extending horizontally to the other side of the river like a jade belt.

In order to build a stable abutment to fix the arch bridge and prevent the arch bridge from moving back, forth, left and right after encountering vibrations, Ji Qingyue designed the abutment according to the height of the arch bridge and determined the height and width of the abutment. The experienced stone masons followed Li's instructions. The fixed point left by Saburo was measured again to determine the location of the bridge abutment.

After the location of the bridge abutment here was determined, Ji Qingyue calculated the location of the bridge abutment on the other side of the river overnight.

The river bank is not high, but the bridge abutment must be at least half a foot above the ground to receive the arch bridge.

The bridge abutment is an "L" shaped stone mound, and the right angle is where the arch foot stands. Since the arch foot to the top of the arch is more than one foot, if people and convoys of cargo trucks climb straight up from the arch foot, it is easy to feel Hard work. If the bridge abutment is built high and the bridge deck is supported in mid-air, the arc of the bridge deck will be much gentler.

The laborers have dug down half a foot. The excavated soil is piled high on the spot. If there is not enough soil, they are dug from nearby. In this way, the soil is piled and compacted at the same time. A tower is half a foot above the ground and more than two feet wide. The rammed earth bridge abutment is completed.

It was not possible to rest at this time, so the laborers took turns to move stones one by one. The masons used the prepared glutinous rice mortar as an adhesive to pile up the stones along the edge of the rammed earth bridge abutment, and tightly surrounded the three sides of the bridge abutment. Don't let the sand be washed away by the rain.

After the bridge abutment here was dug, the laborers took a boat to the other side of the river to dig the second bridge abutment, and some masons came to the first bridge pier to dig out the place to fix the arch feet.

Compared with the masonry workers who were so busy that they wanted to be broken into two people for use, the carpenters were much quieter. The carpenters on the construction site stayed up all night and rested intermittently. The worst offenders were the first group. Because we had to catch up on the schedule, we only got Hong Yu’s nod of permission at dawn, and we were finally able to come down and rest.

After Hong Yu explained the time for the next gathering, the carpenters did not care about anything else and supported each other and returned to the county in vain.

An arch bridge requires more than thirty or forty pillars. The skilled carpenters worked together and spent a day and night to finally finish processing the pillars of the first arch bridge. They only needed to wait for the abutment construction to be completed and they could be finished immediately. Install bridge pillars.

As the news of the ten-day bridge construction spread more and more, carpenters and masons from nearby villages and people who were willing to help rushed to the county. This made the already precarious situation in Shandan County even worse, so Hong Yu ordered that nearby villages were temporarily not allowed to build a bridge. Villagers entered the county, and the craftsmen and laborers who came to help went directly to the construction site, registered in groups, and started work immediately.

Now when every second counts, Hong Yu directly moved his office in the county government office to the construction site, supervising the progress of the project while handling the accumulated county affairs.

Hong Yu finished handling another quarrel case in which a Hu businessman caused trouble. When he raised his head to rest, he glanced at the sedan standing on the side. The people inside seemed to be resting and did not make any movement.

Suddenly, Ji Qingyue lifted the curtain and walked out of the sedan, which shocked Hong Yu. Ji Qingyue apologized and explained that "these hours are the auspicious times for Taoist priests to move around," and then took Li Sanlang to the construction site. He inspected the work progress in various places, and his posture seemed more skillful than any old craftsman.

After the inspection, Ji Qingyue and Hong Yu explained and connected various key points in the construction, and they were busy until noon before asking to go back to the sedan chair.

After entering the sedan, Ji Qingyue made no sound, and Hong Yu just thought he had fallen asleep.

Weird, really weird.

As more craftsmen came to the construction site, Hong Yu mobilized boats and used a combination of old and new to allow the masons to dig out blocking positions on other stone piers.

In the evening, the first bridge abutment was completed. An earth slope tightly surrounded by stones stood beside the river, facing another bridge abutment that was beginning to take shape on the other side.

After nightfall, the environment at the construction site finally became quiet. During the day, people who came to the construction site were not only the craftsmen who signed up, but also people who came to watch the excitement. There were people living in the county, Hu businessmen who were trapped outside the city with nothing to do, and villagers from nearby villages. Together, these people There were more people than there were people on the construction site. They surrounded the wide construction site and watched every move on the construction site with interest as if they were watching a street performer.

Soldiers have been sent by Hong Yu to various villages for rescue and disaster relief. The police officers are also trying their best to maintain public security and stability in the county. There are simply not enough manpower. These people refuse to leave, so Hong Yu can only let them watch.

Suddenly, a string of beating firelight appeared in the distance, and there was a muffled sound of footsteps falling heavily on the ground. Many footsteps were mixed together, and there was a lot of movement, as if someone was approaching.

Hong Yu stared at the string of dancing firelights and thought that the direction was the direction of the county seat, so he immediately guessed the identity of the visitor.

When the young man led a team of people to Hong Yu, Hong Yu, who had already guessed the identity of the visitor, inevitably showed a surprised expression: "Li Changxiang? Why are you in the team?!"

Behind Hong Yu, Li Sanlang and Li Adi were also surprised. They knew that their brother/son was in Ganzhou, but they didn't expect that the county magistrate sent someone to the state capital to "shake people", and it was Li Erlang who came! !

Ji Qingyue in the painting was sitting on the bridge in order to be able to deal with various situations that occurred during the construction in time. Just as he was sitting drowsily, he suddenly heard someone calling Erlang's name, and he suddenly woke up. , quickly stood up and listened carefully to what was going on outside.

"Master Hong is well!"

It’s really Li Erlang! !

When Li Erlang saw his father and Sanlang and the sedan behind them, he understood everything. He had doubts when he received the transfer order, but after arriving, he was sure that this was indeed Yue Lang's idea! Yue Lang used to learn to build bridges, but now he has to build bridges on weak water, which is exactly what he is good at!

"Sir Hong, with the transfer order from the state government, I will temporarily serve as the captain of fifty people and lead fifty people to Shandan to obey Mr. Hong's orders!" Li Erlang knelt down and saluted, took out the transfer order and handed it to Hong Yu.

Hong Yu opened the envelope and asked while checking it: "How did you get to the state capital? I remember that you are not old enough to join the army, right?"

Li Erlang's voice was loud: "Just because the state government sent troops to suppress bandits the year before last, I was fortunate enough to be appreciated by Vice General Cao, and Vice General Cao promised to fulfill my request!"
