Opposite him, Shen Yuezhang secretly glanced at Su Tai outside the room and lowered his voice: "Dad, stop talking. They have been scolded all afternoon and rewritten several times. This one is barely readable. Don't get angry." Pour oil.”
Shen Yi broke out in a cold sweat and immediately went out to coax Su Tai. While holding her in his arms and walking to the backyard, he talked about the situation of the pontoon and kept waving his hands behind his back to signal the children to take a walk.
It really kept him busy.
Su Tai didn't know about the intrigue between the father and son, and was still very angry when she entered the room, "I raised Yuezhang and Conong Rong by myself. I can rest assured about these two children, not the twins, they are too naughty! They must be taught well!"< br>
Strictly speaking, many people took care of the twins together. Shen Yi was away and she had less time to take care of them. Everyone took pity on them and pampered them as much as they could, but they were spoiled to the point of being lawless.
"Yes, yes, my wife knows everything. I will teach you tomorrow."
"Stop being so careless! When I open my eyes tomorrow, you won't even know where you went!"
"Hey, I'll just be busy for a while. When the pontoon bridge is repaired, nothing will happen. I can come back whenever I want."
It takes less than a quarter of an hour to run one kilometer.
Su Tai's face looked better, and she told him everything about the situation in the imperial capital, "I heard some rumors from the housekeeper that there was something wrong with my godfather's injury. That second prince is really nothing. In order to marry Tian Tian Tian, he actually asked the imperial doctor to prepare medicine for his godfather to aggravate his old injuries. It’s not enough for his godfather to use it.”
"That's unreasonable! He is a prince and can be lawless? Isn't his godfather a confidant of the emperor?" Shen Yi gritted his teeth and was so angry that he wanted to jump.
Su Tai sighed depressedly, "So what? The emperor will grow old, and there will always be a new prince. The second prince is the eldest, and was raised by the queen. He looks good and has good knowledge. If nothing else happens, he will be the next prince. Why would my godfather really confront him? It would be troublesome if he really pissed me off.
He could only follow the second prince and try every means to prevent this matter. Fortunately, Aunt Xinghua was gone, and his mother was here, so his godfather could no longer be the master of the family.
No matter how angry the second prince was, he couldn't be unreasonable. Later, the second prince committed suicide and was driven to the border by the emperor.
The godfather had a near-miss this time, but the second prince failed to succeed in the end. Tiantian became his younger brother and sister, and he didn't know what would happen next. ”
She didn't dare to tell Huang Xinghua these things, for fear that she would get angry and run out of days, so she could only complain to Shen Yifa in private.
Shen Yi frowned, "It's a pity that we don't have the ability to share the worries for our godfather."
Su Tai also looked frustrated, "Forget it, let's do the things at hand first. You, the town official, were promoted by your godfather. There must be many people who are dissatisfied. If the pontoon bridge is repaired, it will be a great achievement and can suppress As long as everyone confirms those rumors, the godfather’s face will be bright.”
"You're right, I have to work hard."
After learning about Liu Laosan's situation in the imperial capital, Shen Yi became more and more concerned about the affairs of the town officials. He was busy building the pontoon bridge, while Su Tai put all her attention on the strawberry jam and woolen sweater processing workshops.
It's almost cold this time, and the price of woolen sweaters will be higher than in spring and summer. I heard that the king of Longxia Kingdom intends to do business with Langya Kingdom. If the decree can be implemented later, they can still carry out the business at the border. , you can consider expanding the workshop.
It’s not that I don’t know what’s going on, it’s that I’m really busy.
When the caravan sets out again, the busy strawberry jam business comes to an end, and watermelons begin to appear.
This time the caravan took away fifty carts of watermelon, and I don’t know where to go to sell them all. The caravan will have to recruit more people later.
It does not require so many people to harvest watermelons. Some villagers went to Daxun River to help lay the bridge deck.
In August, the Daxun River Floating Bridge was finally completed.
Completion day.
Shen Yi personally went to the county government office and informed the county magistrate to come and attend the completion ceremony.
All the county officials, big and small, want to see this longest bridge in Zhaohua County.
Everyone was mobilized. After hearing the news, the wealthy businessmen and gentry in the county came over, including Mr. Zhu.
Ma Xingteng personally came to Liu Tiechui's house to invite him to Daxun River.
Liu Tiechui and his wife looked at each other in surprise.
Ma Yujie asked suspiciously: "Brother, is that bridge really built? You can't be fooling people, right?"
Ma Xingteng touched his chin with an excited look on his face, "You'll know if you want to trick people into seeing it! Anyway, when I passed by it a while ago, I saw that the bridge was very majestic. It was right on the water. I didn't know what it felt like to walk on it. ”
Liu Tiechui also wanted to know, "Then let's go and join in the fun together."
When they arrived at Daxun River, they were all shocked when they saw the magnificent floating bridge.
Liu Tiechui immediately jumped off the carriage, "My dear! I really let Shen Yi do it!"
Ma Yujie then came down and said sourly: "I don't know if I can pass others yet! It's too early to say this!"
Liu Tiechui said nothing and led a group of people to the side of the county magistrate Duan Ren. "The county magistrate."
The county magistrate glanced at him and said with a cheerful smile: "You're here! Look, this bridge is really amazing. I have never seen such a special bridge in my entire life."
Liu Tiechui didn't expect that the bridge would be so spacious. The iron nets on both sides could be one foot high. People walking on it would not be afraid of falling into the water, and it would be no problem for children to walk on their own.
"But have you tried it?"
Duan Ren stroked his beard and shook his head, "Not yet! Shen Yi said he wanted to test it himself and is preparing."
Liu Tiechui looked around and finally found Shen Yi who was playing with the carriage. There were ox carts and donkey carts behind him. He suddenly had a bad feeling, "He doesn't want to go there in a carriage! This is too ridiculous!"
Duan Ren had a calm look on his face, "Whether it works or not we won't know until Shen Yi tries it, just to test the load-bearing capacity of the pontoon."
Everyone's attention was focused on Shen Yi.
Shen Yi tied up the carriage and loaded it with some goods.
The bullock cart behind was also pulling a cart of wild vegetables, and the driver was a young man in the village who was familiar with water.
There was a cart of firewood on the donkey cart, and Fang Wei was the driver.
Following Shen Yi's order, horse-drawn carriages, oxen, and donkey carts came onto the bridge one after another.
The hearts of the people watching were lifted up, and they did not dare to take a breath.
The bridge deck is two meters wide, and their car is less than one meter wide, which is more than enough for walking alone.
As soon as the carriage got on, the bridge shook slightly, but it was not obvious. The horse was not frightened. Under Shen Yi's comfort, it moved forward slowly at first, then became faster and faster, and finally started to trot.
Everyone watched helplessly as the carriages, oxen and donkeys drove further and further away, and then they breathed a sigh of relief when they were almost ashore.
"It's done! Sir, it's done!" Lu Tong shouted excitedly and clapped heavily.
Everyone applauded.
"I didn't expect it! I didn't expect that Shen Yi would actually see this bridge completed! Is there a long bridge in Langya country that can carry horse-drawn oxen and donkey carts?" Duan Ren asked the master next to him. (End of chapter)
