In the Taiji Palace, hundreds of officials gathered, and now the Tang Dynasty is leveling all over the world, and the finances of the court are getting richer and richer, which can be described as good news, and these three years can be said to be the most comfortable three years for Li Shimin.

This made him relaxed at the same time, but he always felt that something was missing, and his eyes involuntarily drifted towards the last Merton, but Merton was silent, which made Li Shimin slightly disappointed, and couldn't help but miss the Mo family who kept tossing, at that time, although he loved and hated the Mo family who kept tossing, but he lived an extremely fulfilling life.

"Back to Your Majesty, now the brick road from the south bank of the Yangtze River in Hankou to Lingnan has been completed, so far the north to Taiyuan, and the south to Lingnan have been fully connected, and please inspect it!" His Royal Highness Taiji, Zhang Liang, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, said proudly.

In the past three years, the same is also the most shining three years of the Ministry of Industry, with the improvement of Datang's finances, the money allocated to the Ministry of Industry is also rising, with the support of a large amount of money, a brick road has been laid, various projects have been approved, the achievements of the Ministry of Industry are extremely gratifying, and Zhang Liang, who is the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, is naturally also rising, and his status is transcendent, becoming a hot celebrity in the court, and he has been repeatedly rewarded by Li Shimin.

Moreover, the brick road in the north and south is unimpeded, and it is formed with the Longhai line to form a cross-shaped traffic in Datang, which can be said to be a catalyst in general, instantly making Datang traffic unimpeded, and business travel is endless, it can be expected that Datang's taxes will definitely rise again this year.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty! So far, my Tang Dynasty runs through the north and south, the east and west are convenient, and the world is one family, which is really a prosperous scene! Song Guogong Xiao Yu said with a happy face.

In the past three years, the south has relied on its superior natural conditions to actively promote the development of Jiangnan, transporting fruits in summer and vegetables in winter, coupled with the promotion of rice in Johor and the popularization of water conservancy workshops.

This makes the status of Xiao Yu, the Duke of Song, more important in the court, and it has become the sought after of the Jiangnan family, and has become an existence that is not inferior to Zhang Liang.

"Okay, it is precisely because of the joint efforts of all the Qing Dynasty that there is such a scene in my Datang, such as today's peace, everyone lives and works in peace and contentment, I thank you for the people of the world." Li Shimin said with a beaming heart, three years of national peace and security have made the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty obvious to all, Li Shimin naturally sees it in his eyes, but it makes him quite proud, but it is a pity that Li Yuan has passed away, otherwise his father would definitely see this scene.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty, this is the work of Your Majesty's wise leadership!" The ministers congratulated one after another, and in an instant, the entire court and the monarchs and ministers were in harmony.

"Your Majesty, there is still one thing I want Your Majesty to adjudicate." Zhang Liang, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, bowed again.

"Oh! Aiqing said it clearly! Li Shimin was in a happy mood and waved his hand.

"Around Chang'an City, there is also a super project comparable to the north-south brick road, that is, Weishui Bridge, Weishui Bridge is the northern gateway of Chang'an City, the status is irreplaceable, there is a lot of money, there can be no sloppiness, but God is jealous of talent, Weishui Bridge chief engineer Li Yun is seriously ill, it is really not suitable to take on this heavy responsibility, and please Your Majesty to choose another talent." In the court, Zhang Liang, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, bowed and said, and at the same time took out a stack of ink magazines and distributed them to the ministers to watch.

"Chief Engineer Li Yun."

"After Li Chun, Li Yun!"

"Li Yun of the Mo family's husband's lineage."

The eyes of the courtiers flashed, they looked at the report in the ink magazine, and couldn't help but sigh for a while, such a young and handsome man suddenly suffered from this strange disease, it is really a jealous talent.

Li Shimin's eyes couldn't help flashing, and he suddenly remembered the high-spirited young man four years ago, and the emaciated man in a wheelchair in the ink magazine, and couldn't help but sigh slightly.

"Li Yunke once played his resignation!" Li Shimin suddenly asked.

Zhang Liang couldn't help but be stunned and said: "Back to Your Majesty, Li Yun did not resign, but it is said that Li Yun is already poor at walking and needs to take a wheelchair to move, I am afraid it is no longer suitable for the Commander-in-Chief to build the Weishui Bridge." ”

After Zhang Liang finished speaking, all the ministers bowed their heads, a bridge builder could not come to the bridge deck in person, wouldn't it be like scratching the itch of the boots, watching the fire from the other side, if there was a mistake, so that the Weishui Bridge fell short, it would be a heavy loss for Datang, after all, the importance of the Weishui Bridge is well known.

"The Weishui Bridge is the northern throat of Chang'an City, so you need to be cautious, and you think it's better to choose another talent." The director of the Ministry of Works is trying to show up.

"Your Majesty, it is taboo to change generals before the battle! Although Chief Engineer Li is seriously ill, he has not stopped building the Weishui Bridge, not to mention that the reason why Chief Engineer Li has this strange disease is also caused by the repair of the bridge. Some ministers pointed to the ink magazine and retorted, after all, Li Yun has done a good job in the past four years, so that the Weishui Bridge can be successfully completed, and because of this, he is suffering from a strange illness and still insists on building the bridge, which makes many ministers sympathetic.

Li Shimin couldn't help but have a headache, Weishui Bridge is a new bridge, the predecessors have never tried, the design drawings, construction methods are all using the Xiangfu lineage of bridge repair ink skills, if you rashly replace, I am afraid there is really no suitable candidate, and he also saw Li Yun's sacrifice for the Weishui Bridge, it can be said that all the efforts are poured into the Weishui Bridge, if it is rashly replaced, for Li Yun, it is indeed a cruel thing.

"The Weishui Bridge involves a lot of things, how can it be because of personal feelings, I believe Li Jiangzuo can also understand, as for the replacement of the issue, it is simpler, since the construction of the Weishui Bridge, our Ministry of Engineering is always concerned, the new Department of Supervising and Manufacturing, the Ministry of Engineering will definitely be able to select the right candidate." The director of the Ministry of Engineering said loudly.

"In my opinion, Your Excellency saw that the Weishui Bridge was about to be completed, and you wanted to come out to pick peaches!" Suddenly, a voice appeared in the courtroom.

Everyone couldn't help but be stunned, and turned their heads one after another, only to find that it was Merton, who had been silent for three years. In the past three years, although Merton has repeatedly been to the court, he has not said a word, and the court has long been accustomed to it.

The director of the Ministry of Works had long known that Morton would come out to stop him, and he responded freely at the moment: "Mo Hou Mo wants to spew blood, and he will be dedicated to the public in this move, I believe that Chief Engineer Li will definitely understand, and he is not willing to let his hard work go to waste." ”

Merton nodded and said, "Chief Engineer Li poured all his efforts into the Weishui Bridge, so he was naturally unwilling to waste his efforts. ”

The director of the Ministry of Industry couldn't help but smile proudly, Mo Jiazi was the architect of the Weishui Bridge, even he said so, wouldn't he have abandoned Li Yun, but Zhang Liang, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, frowned, with his understanding of Mo Jiazi, he knew that it was not Mo Jiazi's style to give up so easily.

Sure enough, Merton continued: "Therefore, Chief Engineer Li decided to continue the construction of the Weishui Bridge until it is completed. ”

"Keep building!" The ministers couldn't help but be in an uproar, you must know that Li Yun was paralyzed and couldn't even walk, although they admired Li Yun's dedication, but they knew that it was no longer appropriate for Li Yun to continue to build the Weishui Bridge.

"Mo Hou's words are too arrogant, are you deceiving me that there is no one in the Tang Dynasty? Could it be that there is no one except Li Yun who can build the Weishui Bridge? The director of the Ministry of Works said angrily.

Merton nodded as a matter of course and said: "That's true, I'm afraid that no one in the entire Tang Dynasty can repair the Weishui Bridge except Li Yun, even if Mo personally repairs it, I'm afraid it will take at least two years to know the Weishui Bridge well, as for the others, either Mo is talking big, or the drawings of the Weishui Bridge are placed in front of the master of the Ministry of Engineering, and they can't understand it." ”

In an instant, the faces of the people in the Ministry of Works suddenly turned dark, and Merton's words could be said to belittle them for nothing, but they had nothing to say, after all, what Merton said was the truth.

Zhang Liang had to speak for the Ministry of Works: "We naturally know that Chief Engineer Li is the best candidate, but Chief Engineer Li is disabled, poor in walking, has no medicine, and can't even climb the bridge, how to preside over the bridge repair." ”

Merton smiled slightly: "This is not difficult, in the southeast of the Weishui Bridge, there is a three-storey building, which is the headquarters of the construction of the Weishui Bridge, Mojia Village will urgently transform it into five floors, so that Chief Engineer Li lives on the top floor, and with the unique telescope specially prepared by the Mo family, it is enough to take in the entire Weishui Bridge, at a glance, even if Chief Engineer Li does not leave home, he can also know the Weishui Bridge well." ”

"If you want to be poor, go to the next level!" The ministers involuntarily thought of Merton's poem in their hearts, but they didn't expect that Mo Jiazi would use this poem here to the fullest, the telescope of the stargazing platform is an artifact that can observe the moon, and it is a bit overkill to watch the Weishui Bridge.

Zhang Liang couldn't help but snort coldly: "It's ridiculous, how can repairing the bridge be climbing, Chief Engineer Li can see it clearly, how can the workers who are far away on the bridge hear it, how to supervise the progress of the bridge construction." ”

A group of ministers bowed their heads one after another, what Zhang Liang said was very true, even if Li Yun stood on the fifth floor and saw it clearly, I am afraid that it would be beyond the reach of the whip, whether it was conveyed or supervised, it would always be a step late, and it was easy to make mistakes.

Merton had already thought of this strategy, nodded and said: "So, this requires someone to act as Li Yun's right-hand man, instead of Li Yun to supervise the construction of the bridge, and it just so happens that there is such a person by Li Yun's side, since the construction of the Weishui Bridge, he has been involved, and he has made great contributions, except for Li Yun, he is probably the most familiar with the Weishui Bridge." ”

"He is the ancestor of arithmetic!" Merton said loudly.

"Ancestor Mingjun!"

In the report of the ink magazine, Li Yun built the Weishui Bridge, and Li Yun, who is proficient in parabola, can be said to be a great contribution, both of them are erudite and talented, each has their own strengths, and they have become unreachable friends and confidants.

Merton said proudly: "Li Yun is responsible for the design and planning, and then the ancestor Mingjun is responsible for conveying and supervising, the two cooperate with each other, complement each other's strengths and weaknesses, and will definitely complete the Weishui Bridge on schedule. ”

"Bo Yazi Period!" The hearts of the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty moved, they were all people who were familiar with poetry and books, and they were naturally very familiar with the story of the Boyazi period.

Legend has it that Boya is good at drumming and piano, and Zhongzi is good at listening. Boya drum and piano, aiming at the high mountains, Zhong Ziqi said: "Good, like Mount Tai!" Aiming at flowing water, Zhong Ziqi said: "Good, like a river!" "What Boya reads, Zhong Zi will get. When the child died, Boya said that there was no more sound in the world, but the piano was broken, and the drum was never restored for life.

How many people yearn for each other's bosom friends during the Boyazi period, but now they suddenly discovered that the matter of Li Yun and Zu Mingjun is not the contemporary Boyazi period of the Tang Dynasty.

The two worked together to build the Weishui Bridge, when the bridge was about to be completed, Li Yun was disabled, insisted on using binoculars to supervise the construction of the bridge, and the ancestor Mingjun became Li Yun's tongue and arm, for Li Yun personally on the bridge, supervised the construction, such a bosom friend is not very enviable.

Li Shimin couldn't help but be moved, the Weishui Bridge is related to the northern passage of Chang'an City, naturally there is no room for loss, the sooner it is built, the more benefits, and now Li Yun and Zu Mingjun cooperate with each other, which can not only give full play to the talents of the two, but also make the Weishui Bridge completed on schedule, isn't it the best of both worlds.

"More importantly, although the Weishui Bridge is a super project beyond all the bridges of the Tang Dynasty, but for the new bridge is just a new attempt, the future of the more magnificent Yellow River Bridge, the Yangtze River Bridge is the need for the bridge construction knowledge of Chief Engineer Li, the so-called not to accumulate steps to thousands of miles, if even Chief Engineer Li has not even completed the small Weishui Bridge, the design of the Yellow River Yangtze River Bridge is impossible to talk about." Merton said solemnly.

Zhang Liang said that the north and south brick road is unimpeded is just a lie, in the brick road from Taiyuan to Lingnan, there are at least two roadblocks, that is, the Yangtze River and the Yellow River, whether it is the goods in the south of the Yangtze River or the north, once they reach the Yangtze River and the Yellow River, they can only use water transportation, and use boats to transport goods, but it has delayed a lot of effort, and it has added to the urgency of building the Yellow River and the Yangtze River Bridge.

In an instant, the Manchu Dynasty was silent, and what Morton said was right, although the Weishui Bridge is currently the first bridge in the Tang Dynasty, but it is wider than Weishui, and there are more complex river channels.

Li Shimin nodded slowly and said: "The Weishui Bridge is a new attempt of the Tang Bridge, it can be said that crossing the river by feeling the stones, since Li Yun has passed more than half of the time, it is indeed a taboo to change generals in battle, I hope he will not live up to my trust, and compose a real mountain and flowing water for me with the ancestor Mingjun." ”

"Thank you Your Majesty for your trust!" Merton said solemnly.

Everyone looked at Merton with complicated eyes, and suddenly understood that the once sharp Mo family was back, and as soon as he made a move today, his thinking could be described as imaginative, but people couldn't help but be convinced. What a difficult situation was solved in his hands.

"This is the real Mo family, if you don't sing for three years, if you don't sing, you'll be a blockbuster." The ministers sighed.

If Merton knew everyone's thoughts, he would have smiled and said, "No! It was Mo's daughter who had already enrolled in school, and finally had her hands free. ”
