After nearly a year of thinking, Hong Tao used his extremely chicken thief brain to come up with a special chicken thief method.

It is necessary to build roads and bridges to facilitate the development of industry and commerce, but not to allow the imperial court to get too much convenience, and at the same time, it is also necessary to bring great benefits to itself. It is simply the method of three perfections, which is embodied in this cross-river bridge.

The Guazhou cross-river bridge must be built, but it must not be completed. Leave the most difficult and technically demanding link deliberately unused, and then, the bridge will naturally be unusable.

Not only this bridge, but all the traffic arteries that cross the geographical moat and cross the provincial roads like this in the future will have to be unfinished, but the roads and bridges built inside each road are intact.

This approach is like laying a network system for a community, and the LAN inside each building is smooth, but the access to the outside is few and slow, and the backbone network is simply broken.

Data can be transmitted very quickly inside the building, and it can also be transmitted between buildings is a little slow, and if you want to log in to the backbone network, how fast it is basically how fast it is when you use 52K cats, it took half a day to build in vain, and it didn't work after spending so much money.

Don't think about buying a network cable to connect it quietly, Hong Tao deliberately made technical barriers, as long as he doesn't tell the truth, whoever comes is in vain, and he really can't build it.

When did Hong Tao feel that the time was ripe before he suddenly opened his mind, and claimed that after N years of hard thinking, he finally solved the technical problem, and then communicated the trunk line in a very short time.

At that time, it is not the imperial court that uses these arteries to strengthen the central government, but how to resist threats from all sides. Convenient transportation is two-way, you are convenient for others, who is strong will be the most convenient!

In addition to these considerations, the construction of the Guazhou Bridge has many benefits for Hongtao. For example, you can use the bridge construction project to facilitate the deployment of goods and personnel within your own system.

The cross-river bridge in the Song Dynasty was basically equivalent to digging an undersea tunnel from Shanghai to Pusan, which must be a huge project that can be seen from the moon, and the financial, manpower, and material resources required must also be massive.

On top of the massive base, is it still a matter for Hong Tao to mobilize some money flows, goods flows, equipment flows, and personnel flows? Even if the imperial court sends people to stare at the construction site all day long, they still can't notice it, the base is too big!

This cross-river bridge will also attract the attention of everyone inside and outside the imperial court, and Hong Tao intends to use himself as a monkey, and the cross-river bridge is the stage.

In the past few years, I have done nothing, and I have played myself on the stage to show others, so as to cover up some small incidents that have occurred in other regions. For example, Fuzhou, Jiangling, Mingzhou, and even Sichuan......

The crazy horse, or the mad king, went crazy again, and actually whimsically wanted to build a bridge over the Yangtze River, not just thinking and talking, but also taking practical action.

At the beginning of September, this piece of music was in the hands of the emperor, in fact, as early as half a month ago, the secret report of the Imperial City Division had already mentioned the matter of the cross-river bridge, but the emperor didn't care at all, thinking that his brother-in-law, who had always kept his mouth open, was playing again, and he didn't think he was going to come.

This brother-in-law is a little frivolous, and the secret reports about his deviance are almost ready to be compiled into a book. But everything doesn't matter, you can't just make an order to reprimand him because he is in love with his wife and concubine in the inner house. It doesn't matter what you like to wear, it doesn't matter if you don't wear it, as long as you don't go out of the house to show the royal eyes, no one cares.

Moreover, the emperor is very willing to see a pleasure-hungry and uninhibited brother-in-law of King Liang, if he studies hard all day long and makes friends with talents in private, it will be a big troublesome problem.

However, the construction of the bridge is a bit big, and it has alarmed the local state capital, as well as the sailors who live in Guazhou Town, and all parties have mixed reviews. Some say that it will benefit the people, and some say that it will disrupt armaments, in short, the imperial court must give a specific reply to it, whether to let it be built or not to let it be built?

"What do you ministers think of Wang Xu's move?" Whether it is possible to build a bridge over the Yangtze River, the emperor originally thought that it was impossible, but Wang Shu had already broken ground in Guazhou Town, and he was a little vague in his heart, so he had to call the important ministers to ask.

"Wang Xu's move is quite ridiculous! The townsmen of Guazhou have been to it more than once, and it is more than a few miles away from the south bank, is it possible that Wang Xu will take off on the clouds and pull the rainbow down into the sky as a bridge? This kind of labor and loss of money cannot be long! ”

After listening to the emperor's general introduction, Shangshu Youcheng Su Shi was the first to stand up, and launched a ruthless criticism of King Liang's actions, and unceremoniously came to the conclusion that it was a waste of money for the people!

"Ahem, ahem...... The words are serious, thinking that the king is rich and rivals the country, and his temperament is extremely strange, it is not unusual to do this, even if he wants to build a ladder to go to the moon for a while, Chang'e does not feel abrupt. It has been a good story since ancient times to build bridges and pave roads, and it is difficult for the imperial court to prohibit it? ”

Before Su Shi's words fell, Sima Guang immediately couldn't sit still, maybe he got up a little violently and pulled the lung meridian, causing a long cough, and he was busy refutating without even breathing.

This old minister is really old, and he is over 70 years old and still has to fight on the front line. It's no problem, it's hard to consume the combination of Emperor Shenzong and Wang Xu, but I don't think that Su Shi and Zhang Dian with a group of middle-aged and young officials came out from behind again, and it was even more menacing, and there was a tendency for the back wave to push the front wave.

I have worked hard for the country all my life, and I can't rest when I'm old, dragging a small body of 200 pounds and a body sick, and I have to lead the old party to strictly guard against it. He didn't want to see his life's work come to naught at this time, it would be worse than exhaustion.

He doesn't care what Wang Shu is doing, since he handed over his military power and dismissed all the people he once followed, it means that he has withdrawn from the political stage.

Who would want to follow such a leader? At the critical moment, he directly picks on his son, and he doesn't even know how to retain some political resources and wait for a comeback, so can he have good fruits to eat?

At present, the biggest enemy is not King Liang, who is far away in Yangzi Town and deals with muddy water all day long, but these new forces in the court and the central government who hold great power and have the emperor's secret support.

No matter what Su Shi and Zhang Dian advocate, they don't need to listen to the content and oppose it directly. Argued? I really don't have that much energy. As long as you drag the other party's pace and disrupt the other party's arrangement, it is a victory, and Wang Anshi has to do more detailed work, but he is three years younger than himself.

Wang Anshi sat next to him and looked at his nose and nose like an old monk was settled, Sima Guang's rebuttal was already very powerful, and he couldn't make up for it with a roar, this is not Zhang Dun didn't speak, so I saved my strength for the time being and listened to what he said.

Since hearing the news that Wang Shu was building the bridge across the river, Zhang Dun has been looking down at his fingers, but his mind is moving at full speed. He first thought of the Hutuo River Chain Bridge, and then remembered what his cousin Zhang Wei said to himself when he went to serve as a pacification envoy on the Youzhou Road:

Don't underestimate Wang Shu at any time, it's never too much to think about it!

My cousin is a hard-tempered person, so he never convinces people easily, but he has only worked with Wang Shu for less than a year, and he has already been convinced or scared after meeting a few times, which is enough to explain part of the problem.

Is it really crazy for Wang Xu to build a bridge across the river? If you ask your cousin, he definitely doesn't think so, so why should he be like the crowd.

Everyone is concerned about whether the colt is crazy or not, but no one thinks about the essence of the problem, the bridge. If the bridge across the river was really built, and the imperial court never supported it, or even ignored it, what would be the situation at that time?

After the completion of the construction of the Huaishui embankment, some people have already poked out in the Fuzhou Daily that the imperial court is still in arrears in repairing the river and making money and grain for the construction of the embankment.

This part of the official affairs is precisely supervised by oneself, and there is really no way to say anything at that time. So the big bridge will the imperial court not know? Could it be that the officials in Yangzhou are all blind and deaf. It's not just Yangzhou officials, the south bank of the Yangtze River is Runzhou, Liangzhejiang Road, who will help him carry this big black cauldron?

"If this bridge can really be built, ignoring it at this time will make His Majesty and the court very passive, so it is better to push the boat with the water."

At present, the old and new parties are in a bitter dispute over the dismissal of idle officials, and they must no longer make trouble for themselves on the issue of building bridges.
