Chapter 438: 439

Chapter 0527 The shock brought by the floating bridge.

"Tat Tat Tat..."

Niu Da came in a hurry. Seeing the young master's serious face, his heart skipped a beat, thinking that something went wrong?

"Master, you are looking for me." Niu Da said respectfully.

"En." Liu Feng stared at Niu Da with black eyes, and asked in a deep voice, "Did it snow in the past few years, has there been any flood in Xiyang City?"

"Ah?" Niu Da was stunned for a moment, frowned and thought about it, then shook his head and said, "Master, there has never been a flood in Xiyang City."

"Is there as much snow in previous years as this year?" Liu Feng asked a new question. He was really afraid that there would be a big flood, and the loss of Xiyang City would be too great.

"It's the same, not much different from previous years." Niu Da replied honestly, he didn't know why the young master asked this, although this year's snow came a few days earlier than last year.

"Huh..." Liu Feng breathed a sigh of relief. If this is the case, the chance of a major flood in Xiyang City will be reduced by more than half.

"However..." Niu Da seemed to think of something when he heard the flood, and said quickly, "Master, there was no major flood in Xiyang City, but some places far away from us were flooded last year. killed a lot of people."

"What? Are you telling the truth?" Liu Feng's black eyes slightly opened.

"It's true, a businessman told me." Niu Da definitely nodded, he had an impression of this matter.

I heard from the businessman that hundreds of cities were flooded, many people died, many nobles also died, and some cities were washed away by the water.

"When? When did you hear the news last year?" Liu Feng asked solemnly.

"Probably in summer." Niu Da replied honestly.

"No." Liu Feng rolled his eyes and said angrily, "It's the time when the flood happened."

"Oh..." Niu Da suddenly realized, and immediately said, "It seems to be about the same time as now."

"Is it similar to now?" Liu Feng muttered to himself, he turned his head to look at Youshuihe, and sighed in his heart.

He had a guess, that was the area downstream of Youshui River, where the water from melting snow flowed into the Youshui River from various places, which made it too late for the water in the downstream area of ​​Youshui River to be drained away. If it's low, it's really a catastrophe.

"Master, it's time, the ribbon is about to be cut." Niu Xiaoda reminded loudly.

"Okay." Liu Feng nodded. He temporarily put aside the matter of the flood. Today's first task is to open up wasteland. The pontoon bridge is a shortcut to open up wasteland across the Youshui River.

The floating bridge is more than 100 meters long and more than ten meters wide. The shores on both sides are supported by big stones. It took a lot of work to move these stones. Now that the weather is getting warmer, those stones will be reinforced with cement. The pontoon bridge is connected by twelve large iron chains, and it took a lot of effort to get these large iron chains, all of which were hammered out manually.

Below is the use of boats as piers, which is a boat-like structure similar to a large wooden box. In addition to twelve large iron chains, there are thirty-six arm-thick hemp ropes for the main support, and then wooden planks are laid as the bridge deck.

Such a pontoon bridge on the earth must be very crude, but it is practical. Liu Feng is willing to spend the capital on the infrastructure construction. After all, real things are better than putting gold coins in the warehouse and smashing the teeth of rats. .

But now such a pontoon bridge has a shocking impact on people of this era. Everyone who just came to see the pontoon bridge was stunned, and then exclaimed.

"This, is this a bridge? Isn't it incredible?"

"My God, I'm not dazzled to build a bridge over the Youshui River? How is this possible?"

"It turns out that what the Lord City Lord said is true. He really built a bridge over the Youshui River."

"..."

Liu Feng stepped to the entrance of the pontoon bridge, where a red linen cloth had already been tied, and a maid stood beside her, holding a tray with scissors in her hand.

"Ahem..."

Liu Feng coughed lightly, and scanned the crowd who were discussing. After everyone quieted down, he slowly shouted, "Everyone, you have also seen the pontoon bridge behind me. Today is the ribbon-cutting ceremony for this pontoon bridge."

"Crack!"

As soon as the words fell, Liu Feng took the scissors and cut it out. He wanted to end the matter of the pontoon bridge as soon as possible. He was still worried about the flood.

He then shouted, "The floating bridge is officially opened today, and everyone can experience it."

After Liu Feng finished speaking, he turned around and stepped on the pontoon first, walked towards the middle of the pontoon, and felt that the pontoon was a bit wobbly when he walked on it. Mina, An Li, Sink, Niu Da and others also stepped onto the pontoon immediately.

The crowd also began to pour into the pontoon bridge. After more than a hundred people entered, the soldiers standing at the entrance of the pontoon bridge immediately stopped the people who were going to enter behind.

"Everyone, the first group is one hundred people to go on the bridge, please wait a moment for others." The soldier shouted.

"Damn it, it's too late." Tori stomped his feet and shouted. He went out a little late today, so he could only wait helplessly.

Now he is completely convinced of Mr. Liu Feng. The construction of the bridge over the Youshui River has really been completed. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed it.

Among the first batch of people on the pontoon, there were Princess Lucy and Jones. Now the two of them touched the iron chain and the thick hemp rope with shocked faces. It was unbelievable that someone actually built a bridge over the Youshui River.

"Jones, this is too unbelievable." Princess Lucy said shyly, thinking of what she said after reading the newspaper, she felt that her outlook on life had been impacted.

"A miracle." Jones said in a deep voice, with her mind, she had to say admiration. To build a bridge over the Youshui River, if you say it out of ten, you will be ridiculed for being overwhelmed, whimsical and daydreaming, or called a fool.

"I suddenly believed Darlene and Catherine's words a little bit." Princess Lucy said quietly, even building a bridge on the Youshui River, such a person is proud, and will not do things that are demeaning.

"Are you going to see him now?" Jones narrowed her red eyes slightly, she was a little surprised by Lucy's decision.

"No, I still want to meet Eliza. It would be rude to visit so suddenly." Princess Lucy said with a smile on her face.

Chapter 0528 big granary plan.

"Tat Tat Tat..."

Liu Feng walked in the front, standing in the center of the pontoon bridge, turning his head to look at the surface of the secluded river. The rushing water of the pontoon formed an arc.

"Niu Da, send someone to set up a guard post on the shore to prohibit ships from approaching the pontoon bridge." Liu Feng said in a deep voice, the pontoon bridge cannot withstand the impact of the ship.

"Yes." Niu Dagong replied.

"In two days, I will send someone to deliver the bed crossbow." Liu Feng said indifferently, the test of the bed crossbow has already been completed, and it is already being built in batches.

"Understood." Niu Da straightened his body. He knew the bed crossbow as a killer, and it was because he knew that he understood the importance of the matter.

"Tread..."

Liu Feng took a step forward and walked across the Youshui River. He wanted to see the wasteland planned by the Great Granary. The future rations of Xiyang City will all depend on this big granary plan.

Soon, Liu Feng and his party went to the shore. He raised his head and looked at the wasteland in front of him. At a glance, it was all deserted. Except for a few small hills, it was all flat wasteland.

Liu Feng walked towards the wasteland. After walking for more than ten minutes, he knelt down and grabbed a handful of soil. The soil is very fertile and it is a natural planting land.

"An Li, arrange people to open up wasteland immediately, and proceed according to the planned plan. I want 100,000 mu of cultivated land." Liu Feng ordered.

The 100,000 mu of land is the first step of his big granary plan. As long as there are 100,000 mu of arable land, it can support at least 200,000 people, and it can support 200,000 people for a whole year in one planting season.

If you follow the planting method of this era, it will definitely not be possible with seeds. Of course, it is unrealistic to need 100,000 mu of arable land at once, and there is not enough manpower to get it. In addition to the seeds brought by Liu Feng from the earth, there are not so many breeding in winter greenhouses.
