Chapter Seventy-One: Passing and Failing

For this important stress test, Zhao Ran not only invited Hong Zesu out of the mountain gate, but even Chi Songzi and Aunt Long's mother-in-law were invited to Yingtian by his flying talisman, plus Sun Zhenren's master and apprentice, the command gathered a Hedao, two refiners, and three great refiners. With this power, the test can really be effective.

At first, Hong Zesuo was reluctant to go out, but when his in-laws were in trouble, he was blocked in the cave by Shao Datianshi and could not get out, and he felt that he had not done his best, and he had no face to see people.

But Zhao Ran personally went to invite him, and said that the two refining masters and all the monks in the capital would congratulate him on his old man's arrival, so he turned his shame into joy and promised to help, and today he really came as promised.

Zhao Ran specially prepared a welcome ceremony, made a recommendation to Hong Zesuo, scratched the itch of the old carp, and coaxed him to be overjoyed, and then began to discuss the pressure test plan.

When he arrived, he once again confirmed that the river had been cleared, and several senior cultivators above the Great Refiner set off at the same time. Fu Sihai, Fu Jiufang and Aunt Long's mother-in-law went to the bridge pier, and Hong Zesuo, Sun Biyun and Chi Songzi went into the water.

Hong Zesuo turned into his true appearance, began to circle around the bridge pier, swimming faster and faster, and rolled up a rapidly rotating whirlpool at the bottom of the river. The whirlpool drove the river to rotate, forming a majestic and continuous force, setting off the vortex to tear and push and pull the bridge piers.

Its power was so huge that even Sun Biyun and Chi Songzi couldn't withstand it, and they retreated more than ten zhang away.

The two of them were not idle, each with a magic weapon, Sun Biyun is a purple gold compass, and Chi Songzi is a glazed paperweight, controlling the magic weapon together, and helping it rotate along the trend of the vortex.

At this moment, the big waves on the river are surging, and the water level has soared more than three feet high, wave after wave, frantically impacting the bridge piers standing in the river.

The command on the shore had long since withdrawn to the high embankment, but despite this, there were still non-stop surges on the embankment. The spray of the waves formed a rain mist that drifted to both sides of the river, as if it were raining, and everyone's clothes were wet.

This went on for more than an hour, and many rolling logs and broken boats were lowered upstream, and they were driven by the wild current, rushing like wild horses towards the piers and crashing into them.

At the end of the ugly time, the three great refiners of Wudang, who had been observing the shape of the bridge on the bridge pier, took the flying magic weapon and left the bridge pier, flew to the upstream direction, and jointly played a group of high-level wind talismans, forming a hurricane talisman array in the air.

In an instant, the wind blew fiercely, rolling up higher waves and crashing against the piers, and the wind swept to the embankments on both banks, blowing the big trees to sway and the leaves to rattle.

A group of wind talismans can continue a stick of incense, the mana of the talisman array has just been exhausted, and the three great refiners have played out another group of high-level wind talismans, keeping the wind momentum non-stop.

For this test, Zhao Ran prepared a third-order high-grade wind talisman of three thousand taels of silver to ensure that the wind did not abate.

The embankment was full of monks, and the ordinary people would have retreated long ago, otherwise they would have been blown directly into the river by the strong wind.

Taking advantage of the wind, Hong Zesuo began to exert force, jumped from the bottom of the river to the sky, jumped over the bridge pier, and fell into the water from the other side. As he jumped out of the water again and again, the wave gradually rose, forming a huge wave more than ten feet high, which was slapped down from above and crashed down fiercely.

Huge waves after huge waves, the river water was flying all over the sky, and it was pouring rain throughout the mile.

This is the power of the way!

It wasn't until the beginning of the Mao period that Hong Zesu stopped, re-transformed into a human form and went to the shore, and Sun Biyun and Chi Songzi also collected the magic weapon and swept up the bridge pier.

Zhao Ran thanked Hong Zesuo: "The old-timers have worked hard, after the bridge is completed, the names of the old-timers will be engraved on the stone tablet, so that thousands of years later, the world still remembers what the old-timers did for the bridge." ”

Hong Zesu smiled: "That's not necessary, just do your best, as for whether the world remembers, let him go." A few polite sentences, and added: "But if you really want to build a stele, the old man suggests asking Yan Ge to draw up an inscription, I don't know if it's possible?"

"Haha, it's like the old-timers. ”

Zhao Ran accompanied Hong Zesuo to eat and drink, and Sun Biyun led people around to check the condition of the bridge piers, check the damage in the water, and after the inspection, he reported the good news to Zhao Ranfei: "Stable as Mount Tai!"

Suddenly there was a thunderous roar of joy on the embankment.

Zhao Ran announced that from the beginning of August, the Yingtian Yangtze River Bridge officially started!

The reason for waiting for another two months is to wait for the completion of the Jinchuan River cable-stayed bridge to verify and test the tensile force of the cable-stayed cable, and the second is to allow time to stock up on a large amount of supplies.

Zhao Ran urged Yang Cunxin to ask Taixuanguan to speed up the refining of steel again, and the amount of steel used to build the Yingtian Yangtze River Bridge is not the same as the Jinchuan River cable-stayed bridge, dozens of times!

Yang Cunxin immediately said that the three iron-making furnaces refined by Duanmu Changzhen have been completed, and she has already gone to Gesoshan to receive them on the way to Yingtian, and with these three blast furnaces, Taixuanguan can start refining special effect steel and ordinary steel at the same time, ensuring that the construction of the bridge will not be delayed.

Seeing the construction of the Jinchuan River cable-stayed bridge and witnessing the test of the bridge piers, Yang Cunxin was already excited to be able to participate in such a great project.

If it was her original intention to cultivate and earn money, then from today onwards, one more item has been added to her wish: everything for the bridge!

Entering June, Zhao Ran was waiting for feedback from all parties, including the progress of refining bridge piers in Wudang Mountain, the completion progress of refining steel in Taixuanguan, the storage of green bricks and gravel in official kilns and quarries in various parts of Tianfu, the work of the third training course for architectural monks, the number of craftsmen summoned by the Ministry of Industry to all provinces in the world, and the payment and income accounts of silver money.

He didn't even have time to attend the signing ceremony of the first batch of small silver bills totaling 50,000 taels from the Four Seasons Money Division, because he was too busy.

But there was an official document sent by Ying Tianfu that made him have to find a way to solve it.

This is an official document transferred from Maoshan, and the payment is made by the Civilized City Creation Evaluation Committee.

Last year, Zhao Ran launched a civilized city creation activity in Yingtianfu counties, and then with the support of Zheng Bengong, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, the activity was spread to the entire Nanzhili, but after it was rolled out, there was no follow-up, because the king of Qi was plotting rebellion.

In November last year, after the major restructuring of the upper three palaces, this matter was handed over to Maoshan. Zhao Ran didn't expect that Maoshan did not start from scratch, but accepted his set of evaluation methods in a comprehensive manner, and even carried out the creation of a civilized city in Nanzhili, which was rolled out by King Qi before the rebellion.

Maoshan spent two months quietly visiting all the counties in Nanzhili, and then suddenly launched the assessment results.

The reason why Wang Zongyi forwarded the official document was because Shangyuan County and Jiangning County were listed in the last class and were rated as unqualified!
