Chapter 676: Complete Plan for Iron Chain Bridge

"If the surrendered households are settled here, the Dawu Army can be connected with Jingzhao Prefecture."

Lu Huaishen showed his talent as a prime minister. The situation he saw was more serious than what Bi Gou saw.

The Dawu Army was in the border area, and the winter was bitterly cold. The court could only provide normal military supplies, and the generals had to take more.

With a new place, the army over there had to rush back and forth to prevent the surrendered households from escaping from the river when the Yellow River freezes in winter.

It seems that the soldiers over there are suffering, but don't forget that Li Yi is supporting the logistics of the surrendered households' residence.

Can he watch the soldiers on the other side run in vain? Just for patrolling?

He will take advantage of the freezing of the Yellow River to transport supplies over there, and it just so happens that the road to Chang'an needs to be opened through.

Lu Huaishen dares to guarantee with his head that once the surrendered households arrive, the Dawu Army area will get the things from Li's manor.

When the transport team, Yulin Flying Cavalry, and Sixteen Guards rotate, they can take them over.

Even a can of meat, a can of fruit, or a leather hat are good things for the soldiers of the Dawu Army.

"I am not as good as you." Yao Chong naturally saw that Li Yi started to play a set.

Although Li Yi stayed in the manor, he actually had a lot of hands. Wherever there was something, he would be there.

Zhang Shuo nodded: "Mastermind, now Li Yi just needs to make money."

He looked at Bi Gou while speaking.

Bi Gou: "..."

He wanted to switch positions with Zhang Shuo, let Zhang Shuo be the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and he would be the prime minister. Hey? This is fine, who doesn't want to be the prime minister?

"I will go to Li's manor tonight." Bi Gou muttered and told Li Longji.

"See good things..." Li Longji said five words.

"It's tax-free, and the Ministry of Revenue doesn't need money from Li's manor for the time being." Bi Gou understood that he was not allowed to think about it.

The four people left Xingqing Hall and went back to arrange the relocation of the surrendered households.

Bi Gou ran to Li's manor at night. Even though he was sitting in the car on the way, he was still sweating and stuffy.

"Old Bi is here? Have a bowl of cold noodle soup first, and eat skewers together." Li Yi greeted Bi Gou.

Bi Gou no longer had to wait for inspection at the Bashui Bridge when he entered the manor. He was a minister after all.

Bi Gou was not polite. He took a few sips of the cold noodle soup and found a seat to sit down.

The palace maids and eunuchs moved over and brought him a basin, soap and towel for washing his hands.

"Today, Wang Jun, the governor of Bingzhou, wrote a letter and gave three strategies. We decided to exempt your manor from taxes."

Bi Gou said something that most people could not understand, and his eyes were fixed on the skewers.

He could not eat skewers normally, especially skewers with such a full range of seasonings. He did not have chili powder.

"Old Bi, the Tang Dynasty has a lot of iron and cement. The original bamboo rope floating bridge on the Yellow River should be changed to an iron rope. It will be called Pujin Bridge."

Li Yi did not mention the matter of surrendering the household registration. Everyone understood.

He wanted to change the bridge. In history, there was an iron chain floating bridge, Pujin Bridge.

It happened to be near that location. Now it is made of bamboo, which is not easy for large troops to use.

In history, it was built in the Li Longji era, not now, and a lot of iron was used.

"How to change it?" Bi Gou was thinking about the exchanges between the two sides. It was okay in winter, but the bamboo bridge and ferry were too difficult in summer.

"First, use concrete to make the piers, arrange the position and structure with thick iron rods, extend them with iron chains, lay boards, and put boats underneath.

Make it into a floating bridge. There is no need to put boats in winter. Take advantage of the ice to pull the iron chain over. Do you know how to transport the iron chain?"

Li Yi was afraid that Bi Gou didn't understand, so he asked deliberately.

"First use hemp ropes, gradually thicken the ropes, and then pull the iron chains. The piers on both sides must be built first, otherwise they can't hang."

Bi Gou didn't look at Li Yi straight in the eye, meaning that you think I'm an idiot.

"That's right." Li Yi gave a thumbs up. Old Bi is smart.

Bi Gou took a sip of iced rice wine and picked up a skewer of meat that he didn't know what kind of meat it was: "Then when there is more iron, replace the concrete on the shore, right?"

"No. Wherever I go, I have a new bridge-building technology. We need large barges to build piers in the Yellow River.

When the Yellow River is not flowing fast, use the barge as a springboard and build reinforced concrete columns to smash in.

After smashing in, build piers one by one to block the water on the outside, and then increase the edge of the bottom pier with concrete.

When the piers are built, build a bridge directly on them. The process is very cumbersome and uses a lot of iron.

The advantage is that after the repair, you can run a horse-drawn carriage directly on it, which is no different from flat ground. To put it bluntly, the lack of technology is compensated by money."

Li Yi wants to build a Yellow River Bridge next to the Pujin Bridge. Building piers is very advanced for current technology.

It requires a lot of manpower and material resources. This is financial resources, and he will solve the technology.

It is not possible during the flood season, nor during the dry season. It is possible during the dry season downstream, but the downstream is really dry and there is no water.

"The wooden pile bridge is also built this way." Bi Gou thought about it and remembered that it was supported by wood.

The bottom of the round wood was sharpened, soaked in tung oil, and dried, and then driven into the river.

"One principle, the other one we can't learn now, that requires a pump, hard."

Li Yi gave Bi Gou half a roasted eggplant and put a lot of garlic paste.

"Xiao Yi, you also understand this kind of thing?" Bi Gou found out why he couldn't understand Li Yi.

"I understand a little, sorry for the joke." Li Yi was modest.

Bi Gou: "..."

"Before I came here, His Majesty warned me not to ask you for money." Bi Gou said after tasting a bite of eggplant.

"It's like raising you. If you ask me for it now, I won't give it to you. Wait two years... you may not be able to become the Minister of Revenue, and you will have more money by then."

Li Yi said frankly that he would give when he should, and not give a penny when he shouldn't.

He just didn't expect Bi Gou to be willing to exempt all taxes for him. He knew from historical data that Bi Gou was a bit rigid, a little worse than Song Jing.

Yao Chong, Song Jing, Bi Gou, Zhang Shuo, Lu Huaishen, these people are actually the ones who supported the Kaiyuan Prosperity.

"Then what new products do you have that make money? The Ministry of Revenue will help you sell them and make a profit. Otherwise, merchants will do the same."

Bi Gou immediately changed the topic, without changing at all.

"Yes." Li Yi was as easy to talk to as always, and he answered every question.

"What business?" Bi Gou was embarrassed, and there was indeed something.

"It's very simple for bathing. You need to spend time and money to make a bucket and a shower head by yourself. If you make it in large quantities, the cost is very low."

Li Yi gave a thing. He wanted to use bamboo to assemble a bucket, and then connect it to the shower head. The hose position was replaced by a leather tube.

One can be sold for 20 coins. If the people make it themselves, they can't make one in three days. How much work will be lost for one day?

"Is it easy to sell?" Bi Gou thought it was something valuable, but it turned out to be worthless.

"Are noodles easy to sell? It's hot now, and it will last for more than a month. I'll give you a wholesale price of 18 coins each." Li Yi gave up two coins of profit.

"No, Xiao Yi, you must have something that makes a lot of money, otherwise you can't support nearly 30,000 households."

Bi Gou felt that if he wholesaled, Li Yi would make less money, and he was unhappy.

Li Yi can also sell this kind of thing himself. If he mentions it in the newspaper, he won't worry about sales.

"Yes, it's the blinds! I put an ad in the newspaper. I'm making the mold now, but it's very laborious. There must be a three-dimensional picture in color for everyone to see in the newspaper."

Li Yi is not going to take Bi Gou with him on this business, he can do it by himself.
