Great Tang Idyll - Chapter 728

[Chapter 353: Falling into the Water and Saving People Want to Change]

Pin mooring on the side of the ship, the floating clouds turn with the wind in the daytime, and in the setting sun, the red light will rise. ※

In the evening of this day, the fleet of Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan finally entered the Cao Canal. According to the speed at this time, it will take two days Enter the capital.

The splint on Xiaobei’s arm was also taken off the day before yesterday. Xiaobei, who has not washed this arm for a month, soaks it in water when she finds free time. It’s not right to soak it until today. Most parts of her body are darker than this arm. , this arm is too white, how awkward it is.

After asking people around, my brother and sister ran to the boat ahead to make arrangements, and Xiao Bei had to use a thin sandy cloth to cover his arm and ask for help.

Xiaoyuan was showing his cleverness to others, and when he was chanting “Jing to Weizhuo, condensing orangutans to stop”, Xiaobei came to him.

“Brother Xiaoyuan, I want to ask you something.” Xiaobei usually called Xiaoyuan directly, but today I will add the word “ge”.

Yuan was startled, looked at Xiaobei vigilantly, and then looked around. Fortunately, someone was there, so he asked, “What’s the matter?”

“I won’t give you a Compasso anymore, you’re scared. Xiaobei looked at Xiaoyuan and said timidly.

“Of course it can’t be used, it’s on the water here, I’m afraid you will burn the chain.

Xiaoyuan didn’t give up at all.

“I’ll test you, do you know why people can turn black? Xiaobei rolled his eyes, with his hands behind his back, with a learned look.

Xiaoyuan nodded and said, “I know, it’s white in the sun. , look at the people who often stay in the house, they are usually white, and the people who work outside are black, I will give you a telescope, you see, the boat behind is sitting in the shade when the sun sets, and he is white, Look again, the person thrashing in the water, he is black, and at first glance, he has accidentally fallen into the water.

Look at his face, it’s dark, and the boat overturned beside him.

“I see, save people, save people quickly, someone fell into the water, team 0, team 0, let me go down. Xiao Bei listened to Yuan, and when he was looking back and forth with the telescope, he suddenly found that person in the water. The fluttering person was not swimming, but the boat capsized, and then swept down around, and there was one person dragging two people to swim hard to the shore.

Xiaobei’s mind turned white and black, and she shouted at the people around her. When she shouted, someone on the boat in front of her had already jumped into the water, and the waves were turning towards the person who fell into the water.

Seeing that the people from the Robust No. 0 seedling protection team met someone, the nervous little guys finally let out a breath.

Sitting on the deck as if collapsed.

“Scared me to death Xiaoyuan, you just said that it’s okay to tan, right? The white areas get darker after tanning, and are the black ones even darker?” Seeing that the people from Team Zero went down, Xiaobei stopped worrying, thinking of his own things, asked Xiaoyuan again.

“Of course,

the more you get sunburned, the darker you get. In the end, it’s like coal. Why are you asking this? Xiaoyuan replied.

“No, it’s nothing, just ask, my clothes are uncomfortable, so I’ll change.

Xiao Bei threw a word and left in a hurry, entered the cabin, sat there thinking for a while, opened the door, and said to the guards who were guarding outside, “Go and have someone make me clothes, the right arm has no sleeves.” kind of.

The

guard nodded in agreement, and went to someone to report that Xiaobei and the others didn’t have many clothes. They grew fast. Generally, they had three sets of clothes per season, and they were made while they were growing. They would be made temporarily unless they were torn. One set to avoid waste.

This set of clothes proposed by Xiaobei needs to be reported, especially the request made by Xiaobei, which must be known to Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan. The

news was soon spread to Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan through the semaphore .

On the side, the two of them were waiting for the seedling protection team to rescue the people. Thanks to the fact that they were turned over in the canal, it would be difficult to rescue the people in the middle of the Yellow River where the water flow is the fastest and the vortex

. Juan did not understand why Xiaobei wanted a dress without the right sleeve, but Zhang Xiaobao smiled and said to Wang Juan: “Xiaobei must think that the color of her right arm is different from other places, I have it before. This kind of thinking is just that I didn’t have people make clothes at that time, but rolled up the trouser legs. I thought it was very clever at the time, but now I know it’s stupid.

Wang Juan thought about it, almost the same, and laughed, ”

Xiao Bei was in a hurry and thought of a way, and there was no need to make clothes.

”

“Okay, after lunch tomorrow, let someone fish some silt up, put them on their bodies, and let them dry in the sun, and the color can be changed in a day.”

Zhang Xiaobao thought of an idea.

Usually Xiaobei and the others always bask in the sun. Compared with the children who often stay in the house, they look a little darker, but they are healthier. In fact, the little guys are all black and white, but they are small. Pei’s black-spotted arm was too white.

At this time, the person who fell into the water had already been brought back. One boatman and three passengers took advantage of the fact that the water transportation was not busy at this time, and then they ferryed over. Unexpectedly, they accidentally overturned when they were about to land, and the boatman could only Reluctantly save two people, the remaining one almost died.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan didn’t go to meet the rescued people, they were both thinking about things in the water below.

After a while, Zhang Xiaobao said, “If we provide a bigger boat for the local ferry people, wouldn’t we be able to save the risk of capsize?

” .

“Then lend it to them first, and then pay it back little by little?” Zhang Xiaobao said again.

“Then we will lose money. Until the ship breaks down, we won’t be able to make any money.

“Wang Juan looked at Zhang Xiaobao in surprise, which means how stupid you are today.

Zhang Xiaobao nodded, “Yes, so the back-and-forth ferry has to go on, but the boat is not for nothing, at least one at a time. Copper coins, if it’s one copper coin twice, do you think there are more people willing to go this way?

.

“Then the passenger flow can only be maintained at the same income unless it can double the current amount of traffic. What do you want to do? I just thought about whether we should pay some money to build a bridge here, don’t expect to make money, and leave a good reputation.

Wang Juan was killed by Zhang Xiaobao .

Confused, she felt that Zhang Xiaobao’s thinking suddenly became dull.

Zhang Xiaobao went on to say: “I also mean to build bridges, but it’s not for others to pass by for nothing. If it is a one-time pass, a penny will be charged at a time. If it is a frequent pass, a monthly card or an annual card can be issued, not only people can Yes, the goods are fine, but if the goods reach 300 catties, you will have to pay an extra penny.”

“Do you want to charge the bridge toll? That’s a challenge. Did you hear who pays money for walking across the bridge here?” Wang Juan reminded.

“Don’t use our name, just find someone, the bridge is easy to repair, you don’t need to use piers, just connect the two banks with iron cables, with wooden boards on them, and you don’t have to be big iron or copper bulls on both sides, cement Once filled, put some pebbles in, they are heavy and strong. Arrange a few people to stand on both sides of the bridge first. If there is no situation where someone crosses the bridge and runs away without giving money, it is enough to stand on one side. If there are children who need to run in the future If you go to school on both sides of the strait, this can be free, but children can’t carry too many things.

Is this price cheaper than the ferry? And it’s also safe. At that time, everyone can choose whether to walk on the bridge or by boat. Little by little, the common people You can accept the matter of spending money on crossing the bridge, and the road will be the same at that time. In fact, you can’t make much money by building a road now. When you build a road in a

prosperous place, you can make money by opening shops on the side of the road. If there are few people, just go inside. Take money. After the people are used to spending money across bridges, we will build more roads, build new roads next to the old roads, and spend a share of money for every trip. and people who take the new road can rest for free in the huts built at intervals beside the road.

Bills are issued at both ends, and those who have no bills will have to make up for it. The most important thing in the service area is to provide hot water. The people in the caravan, as long as they come over, they will provide each person with a pot. If it is a pedestrian, the pedestrian of Shanjie can’t ask for money.”

Xiao Zhang Xiaobao explained his thoughts, while Wang Juan listened and waited for Zhang Xiaobao to finish.

, Wang Juan asked: “Then what if someone crosses the old road and crosses the new road. What do you do when you return to the old road when you are about to arrive at the place?”

“Let the people in the service area watch, usually a service area is set up every half day’s journey. There is free hot water and free rest, but you must have a certificate when you come, but other things are not free, such as drugs. , as well as dry food, tools needed to repair the car, etc. are not free.

And occasionally send people to patrol on horseback from time to time, and if they catch it, they will pay double the money. If they don’t pay, they will take their goods away. Don’t give them money.”

Zhang Xiaobao felt that he had too much money in the future, and he couldn’t spend it for a while, so he planned to spend it on road repairs and collected tolls, probably because there were few people coming and going, the money earned in a year was less than maintenance costs. There’s not much left at all, but that’s better than nothing at all.

Otherwise, we will have to build more roads in the future.

Wang Juan lowered his head and thought for a while, and asked, “Do you think it’s possible?

” Arrange someone to do it.

Zhang Xiaobao made up

his mind and asked someone from his inner courtyard to come in and arrange it.

Wang Juan said, “Why don’t you try the bridge over the Yangtze River first?”

”

“That can’t be done. It’s not our home. Besides, there are too many concubines in that place. What if someone is not satisfied and makes trouble?”

It’s a deeply ingrained idea here, even businessmen think the same way, they don’t care how much it costs to build bridges and roads, let’s come from a place with few people first,

Zhang Xiaobao is not crazy, Don’t dare to move the Yangtze River Bridge, you can only choose a place that is close to it. Of course, you can’t pay back the cost of the bridge only by the bridge tolls.

The cost of cement is low, but the iron chain is not cheap. It is estimated that if the cost of crossing the bridge is collected, it will be good to pay back in 30 years.
