Cub Nursery

Suddenly, a piece of land was surrounded by the river, and within a few days, a three-story concrete building was built.

In the eyes of outsiders, isn't that a concrete building exactly like the Conservation Hall?In the eyes of those who know the inside story, Honglu Temple has built another concrete building, what are they going to do?

After a few more days, those who are interested can see that the three-story concrete building really has images of pudgy cubs, and there are a few more characters standing on the top of the building, which are: Conservation Hall Building Bridge place.

Now everyone knows that the Conservation Church has enclosed a piece of land by the river in order to build a bridge.

If others are like this, they will definitely be scolded as arrogant, but the Conservation Hall has cement, and it can build a concrete building as high as three floors, and it must also be able to build a bridge.

In the busiest tea house in the capital, almost half of the people are talking about it.

"How?" Yan Xun asked in a low voice.

Yan Xun also came to the teahouse and ordered several plates of dim sum and a pot of tea.Jing Fengye, who had turned into a cub, was sitting opposite Yan Xun, and there was Bouncing Cub, who was wearing a big fur hat and thick clothes.

"My lord, everyone knows that we are going to build a bridge, but no one has heard of the Ministry of Works." Jing Fengye whispered, "Building a bridge is a long-term job with a lot of money... Your lord has said that this kind of work is usually done They are all conscripted by the imperial court..."

Even in the form of a cub, Jing Fengye is different from other cubs, always with a chubby face and serious speech.

Yan Xun looked at it for a while, couldn't hold it back, stretched out his hand to pinch Xia Jingfengye's cheek, and said with a smile, "Continue."

A little uncomfortable holding the tea bowl and taking a sip of tea, Jing Fengye felt his cheeks a little itchy, so he resisted not scratching.When he was normal, Yan Xun never pinched his face.

"Since Honglu Temple paid for the construction of the bridge, there is no need for a single person from the Yamen, so we must leave a name in history!" Speaking of the last four words, Jing Fengye, who had always been calm, couldn't help raising his voice slightly.

Bouncing Cub tugged his hair until it grew long, and said, "Leave a name in history."

"Your goals are all big." Yan Xun smiled, "Don't worry, as long as we can make it, even if we can't leave a name in history for the time being, as long as this bridge exists, it will be immortal!"

This big river didn't exist originally, but it was presided over by previous generations of emperors. It took decades to open, and it took decades to become what it is today.

The cement bridge that Yan Xun wants to build can last for decades, and he wants to make this bridge not fall down for hundreds of years!

"My lord, what if the Ministry of Industry sends people?" Jing Fengye thought of building roads. All the cement for the cement roads was produced by the Honglu Temple workshop, and the money received was very little. It was also Yan Xun's idea to do hard labor, but now Credit seems to have nothing to do with Yan Xun.

"Building bridges is not the same as building roads." Yan Xun said calmly, "Even if someone steals this credit, it will never be taken away."

Jing Fengye suddenly figured it out and nodded quickly.

Coming out of the teahouse, Yan Xun bought a lot of candied haws.

Back then, the cubs sat in the carriage and couldn't see outside, so they could only listen to the shouts of selling candied haws, and they learned it by themselves.Although he can't come out openly now, he can finally go out with Yan Xun wrapped up tightly, to see what this candied haws seller is like.

Yan Xun specially gave Tantan Cub a lot of money and asked him to go forward to buy candied haws.

The candied haws seller was a handsome young man with slightly thin feet, very thin, cleanly dressed, and a good voice.

"Buy candied haws." Bouncing Cub handed over the big money and looked at the little brother curiously.Every time he heard the sound in the carriage, the little cub would go back to Honglu Temple and tell the big guy, but this time he really saw it, so the little cub should take a good look at it, and tell the big guy when he goes back.

The little cub's face looked like an ordinary child's, only whiter, with big and clear eyes, just looking up at the little brother selling candied haws.

The little brother took the money, looked up at Yan Xun in the distance, saw him nodding, and then started to take candied haws.

"You look so good-looking." Bouncing Cub looked sincere.

"You're pretty." The little brother didn't expect that Bouncing Cub would take the initiative to speak, so he said with a smile, "It's wrapped, take it and go to your lord."

After taking the candied haws, Bouncing Cub turned around and took two steps, then turned back and asked, "What's your name?"

The little brother said in a low voice, thinking about asking what the cub's name is, took the cub, turned around and ran away.

Running in front of Yan Xun, Tanpan cub hurriedly said: "My lord, the guy who sells candied haws is called Lu Huier. He looks really good-looking and has a good voice."

"En." Yan Xun asked, knowing that Bouncing Cub ran back after asking, so he told him to go back.

The little cub ran back, gave Lu Huier a piece of candy and ran away. He didn't have a name, and he had to get it himself after he learned more about the world and the world.

The wall surrounded by straw mats turned into a concrete wall. On the day the straw mats were removed, it spread throughout the capital, and many people came to see the cement wall.

But anyone who comes to see it with their own eyes can't help feeling that the bridge building of the Conservation Hall is really rich and powerful, not to mention anything else, just how many cement boards have to be made for the cement used in this circle of cement walls, and how much money has to be sold .

This is what I don't understand, because I don't know that there are more stones in the cement wall.

Large bags of cement were mixed with fine sand to make mud.

A large foundation was started on the bank of the big river, and the ground was dug extremely deep. The men felt a little distressed when they saw the cement that was like a hill ready for use.

"Here we come." Sun Yuanbao walked over carrying a long iron bar, and the iron bar drooped to the ground, making a rustling sound.

This iron bar is extremely hard and is not easy to break. The Dacheng knife is an excellent tool, but at this time it is used to make the tendons of the bridge.According to Yan Xun, these iron bars are made of steel and are called 'steel bars'.

The temporary frame built by huge iron rods looks very powerful, and there are several huge pulleys on it. The rope used to lift the cement is made of thin steel wires and will never break.

Working with these precious irons, the men feel that they have inexhaustible strength. When they go back, they will definitely be able to blow for three days and three nights.

After the foundation is laid, the first pier will be laid in the river.

"My lord, the river flows too fast. If the cement is put down, it will be washed away in a short time." Although Sun Yuanbao doesn't understand a lot of truths, but the water is so fast that a hundred catties of stones can still go down Rush away, you can see this with your eyes.

Yan Xun was very calm, raised his finger and pointed at the little cubs sitting not far away basking in the sun, and asked, "Sun Yuanbao, are you afraid of them? They are all monsters."

"What are you afraid of?" Sun Yuanbao smiled honestly, "My son is still learning from them, so there is nothing to be afraid of. If it weren't for Mr. Jing, the one yesterday would have died."

The foundation was laid. In order to try to lay the foundation into the river, the men specially found a very huge stone and threw it down, with a rope attached to it, in order to test whether the stone would be washed away.

As a result, the stone was washed away immediately, and the rope slid down rapidly, just entangled a man.

At that time, Jing Fengye was beside him, and hurried forward to grab the rope, but he didn't let the rope slip down, and saved the man.

The men all know that Jing Fengye is a monster, the dragon marks on his face can't be like this at all, and his pupils are also different from ordinary people, but after getting along these days, the men find that Jing Fengye is no different from ordinary people. people.

"Then are they afraid?" Yan Xun asked again.

"My lord, I, Sun Yuanbao, dare not say anything else. Those men, brothers, and women were all led by me, Sun Yuanbao. They all know that your lord is from Honglu Temple, and they also know that those little cubs are Monsters, but they are still here!" Sun Yuanbao patted his chest, "I, Sun Yuanbao, guarantee with the head that they will never be afraid!"

Not only are they not afraid, since the men have seen the cubs burn cement and make so many steel bars with their own eyes, they only have admiration in their hearts, and there is nothing to be afraid of.

"That's good. In this way, the pier will not be difficult." Yan Xun said calmly.

After the foundation was laid, the first bridge pier close to the river bank was built forward, Yan Xun led the cubs forward together, and the men lined up behind, all craned their necks to watch.

"Are you ready?" Yan Xun asked.

"Okay." The black and white cub nodded.

"Then let's start." Yan Xun touched the black and white cub's little head, then turned around and said, "Watch me give instructions later, everyone cooperate."

"Yes, my lord." The men said in unison.

To build the bridge pier, Yan Xun stepped forward in person, and one step ahead was the swift current, and the stormy waves below crashed on the shore. In such a dangerous place, Yan Xun didn't find many people to protect him, but let the cubs stand behind him.

Seeing this scene, the men's hearts were moved, and there was an urge to go all out and help Yan Xun build this bridge.

The black and white cub stepped forward and stood side by side with Yan Xun.

The water flow below was very turbulent, and suddenly the water flow in the center stopped for a moment, and then it was discharged to the two sides, forming a hollow.

Yan Xun waved immediately.

The men quickly got to work, dragging down the steel cages one after another. Because there was no impact of the water for a while, it was very stable. The upper part moved quickly, and the pier was completed in an instant.

Jing Fengye picked up the heavy cement stone with one hand, and slowly lowered it into the water. The men were not to be outdone, and the pulleys and manual workers went into battle.

"It's done!" Yan Xun said, "Everyone has worked hard, let's eat hot pot today!"

"Oh oh oh!" The black and white cub breathed a sigh of relief, his tired nose was sweating, and he quickly wiped it off.

On that day, Yan Xun ordered a lot of hot pot, ready to eat with the big guys.

Qin Liu came again in person.

He suppressed Jia's family. Jia Buzhen's sister, who was born with his aunt, had complained to the emperor, but the emperor only perfunctorily comforted him, and turned around and gave Qin Liu a reward.After Qin Liu found out about this, he admired Yan Xun even more in his heart. If Yan Xun hadn't instructed him, he would have planned to protect himself wisely and ignore the Jia family.

At this moment, Qin Liu rushed over and said privately to Yan Xun: "The people in my yamen said that it is extremely difficult to build a bridge, and you need a professional craftsman. Even if you have cement, it is useless. Many people are waiting to see a joke. My lord, how about I help suppress them?"

Qin Liu is addicted to effort.

"No." Yan Xun said with a smile, "The yamen is different from the aristocratic family. You can help me tell them about this, if you are really worried about this, then come and see for yourself, the Bridge Building Department of the Preservation Hall will always welcome them."

If you say you are worried about this matter, I am afraid that in the ears of those people, it is just a joke.

"But my lord..." Qin Liu just didn't know how to build a bridge, but the river was fast and deep, so it might not be easy to build a bridge.

"No problem." Yan Xun said calmly, "Tell them to come and see."

The Ministry of Industry is best at building bridges, and this is also the job of the Ministry of Industry.

After hearing what Qin Liu said when he sent people to deliver the food that day, several people couldn't sit still.

They think that the Ministry of Industry has the best craftsmen, and there is no one in the whole of Daqin. After all, the Ministry of Industry is invited.Some people think that Si Ping's face is not bad, and some others have already started to sneer, waiting for Yan Xun to make a fuss on his own, and when he suffers a loss and kills, he has to come to beg them.

As a result, Yan Xun actually asked people to let go, telling them to watch the joke.

Hu Ru was the first to lose face, and immediately said, "Go and have a look over there!"

Soon several people responded, and Hu Ru went to find Zhao Yuanting, who thought about it and followed him out.

There are several gates where the bridge was built in the Preservation Hall. They were originally made of straw mats, but now they have been replaced with extremely strong wooden gates, and there are men guarding the gates.

When Hu Ru and the others first arrived, they were all dressed in official robes and looked imposing. They thought that the man guarding the gate would definitely open the door immediately, but the man came out and took a look, and told them to wait.

"It's unreasonable, he is only from the fifth grade." Hu Ru said with a straight face.

Several people hurriedly agreed, feeling ashamed.

The men inside found Yan Xun, who hurried to the door and asked Hu Ru and others to go in.

"Master Yan is so impressive." Hu Ru said sarcastically.

Because Qin Shisan is in charge of the road construction now, the emperor means that Qin Shisan will get the credit, and the Ministry of Household Affairs will surely follow suit, and the Ministry of Industry may only get a small amount of credit.

For this reason, both Hu Ru and Zhao Yuanting were unhappy, and dared not blame Qin Shisan, they could only blame Yan Xun.

"Don't dare, dare not." Yan Xun said neither humble nor overbearing, "Presumably all the adults know what kind of place Baoyutang is, and this official is the young minister of Honglu Temple. I dare not say anything else. There are many people around us now. Young Dao Bing. This place is even more afraid to let people who don't know the basics come in, just in case... what do you adults say?"

Although Honglu Temple is only a fourth-rank yamen, it is naturally incomparable with the first-rank yamen of the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Industry.

But Honglu Temple is different from all the yamen, because there are cubs and monsters living in it.

A word blocked Hu Ru's face, turning blue, red, white and black. After changing for a while, he snorted coldly and stopped talking.

"My lords, please come with me." Yan Xun laughed again, he didn't look angry at all, but Hu Ru and the others felt uncomfortable.

Now that winter is getting colder and colder, when the wind blows by the river, there are thin drops of water, which cut the face like ice knives, making it even colder.Yan Xun was dressed thickly, with fur earmuffs on his ears, and a thick cloak on his body. He led the crowd past the concrete building where the bridge of Baoyutang was built.

The chimney next to it was whining and smoking, and it could be seen that there was a kang burning inside. If you enter the upper kang to warm up and drink hot tea at this moment, it must be excellent.

However, Yan Xun still walked forward, and said with a smile: "You must have been worried about the construction of the bridge for a long time. It is indeed very important at this time, so let's not delay the efforts of the adults. Come here..."

Looking at the warm concrete building, I couldn't even go in.

Hu Rushi had been to the concrete building of Honglu Temple, and knew that it was usually warm as spring inside. Seeing that Yan Xun refused to let him in, he was stunned for a moment, and then walked forward.

The wind by the river is strong, the water vapor is greater, and it is colder.

The cool wind blew, and Hu Ru and the others couldn't help tightening their official robes. They only wore official robes in order to show off their authority. Naturally, it wasn't that warm, and several people's lips were frozen blue.

A piece of foundation protruded from the river bank, like a giant beast entrenched by the river, cold and strong, making people daunting.

The first pier has been built, and it is so heavy that it looks like the foot of a giant beast stepping into the river.

At a glance, it seems that the turbulent and wide river is not as powerful as this giant beast.

"Follow me." Yan Xun wrapped the cloak tightly around his body, and stepped forward.

Watching Yan Xun walk away, Hu Ru and the others gritted their teeth, since they all came, they naturally couldn't lose face, so they all followed.

There are quite a few men working in full swing in front of them, and some of them are only wearing forged shirts, their bodies are sweating, and they don't seem to be cold at all.Seeing Yan Xun approaching, they all smiled and shouted, "My lord."

"These are adults from the Ministry of Industry." Yan Xun laughed.

Seeing the adults shivering from the cold, the man quickly put on a straight face and called out very respectfully, "My lord." Then he went to work again.

"They can't stop working, after all, it's work in the water." Yan Xun hurriedly helped explain, "Please forgive me, my lords."

A few more people passed by carrying cement. I don't know if they heard what the previous man said. After they came, they all smiled and called Yan Xun "Master", and hurriedly called other people "Master" with a straight face.

Even if Hu Ru is a fool, he can see that these people are obviously shouting to Yan Xun from the bottom of their hearts, and they are all frightened and fearful to them, which is not from the bottom of their hearts.

This seemed to be a slap in the face, Hu Ru's face was blue from the cold, but now he wished it would turn purple.

"My lord." The flower tree cub who was busy saw Yan Xun and hurried over.

The little cub was dressed like a ball, with a thick jacket, thick boots on his feet, furry gloves, a hat, and a mask that covered his face, only showing his big eyes.

"Meet some adults soon." Yan Xun said hastily.

"I've met you, my lord." The flower tree cub hurriedly saluted, very serious.

"Cough." Hu Ru cleared his throat, stared and said, "I see that you don't have a single craftsman to build the bridge. Aren't you afraid that the bridge will not be completed at that time, and you will waste money and people, and be blamed by the emperor?"

White air came out of his mouth, Hu Ru yelled very imposingly, and at the same time felt that the heat from his body was blown away, so he quickly shut his mouth, and his face became even more ugly.

Yan Xun was still not angry or scared, but instead said to the flower tree cubs, "Go up and tell them why we don't use craftsmen."

"Okay." The flower tree cub nodded, took a step forward, and took out a small notebook from his pocket, "Master Jing helped us calculate how much steel bars to use in a square of cement to withstand its own weight, plus The weight of a horse and a person above. Of course, Mr. Jing has also calculated the weight of the car, including the weight of the car we will build in the future...Well, this is the specific calculation method..."

There are many symbols densely written on the small book, and there are some scattered ones at the back, how much work the men can do in a day when they cooperate, and so on.

Hu Ru took a look. Although he is not a craftsman, he does not know craftsman's work, otherwise he would not have climbed so high in the Ministry of Industry.He didn't expect that Yan Xun had prepared so well, but he couldn't understand these calculation methods.
