    After Zhao Ran showed his unshakable confidence in reforming the clan system in front of Lu Xixing, Lu Xixing said: "Don't worry, Zhiran, I will suppress those clan monks from Chaotian Palace and never let them come to you.  make trouble."

    Zhao Ran said: "Thank you very much, Senior Brother Lu. But speaking of it, I have some faults in this matter. I forgot that the monks in the clan are under the jurisdiction of Chaotian Palace, so I should have informed Senior Brother Lu long ago."

    Lu Xixing waved his hand: "Zhiran has too many things to do, and the Shangsan Palace has just been restructured. It is inevitable that Zhiran will have things that cannot be taken into account. I understand."

    Zhao Ran asked: "How many monks in Chaotian Palace are from the clan?"

    Lu Xixing said: "Thirty-eight people, the highest level of cultivation is no more than Jindan. Zhu Xianxian and De Wang are all dead. Some small fish and shrimps can't jump up."

    After pondering for a moment, Zhao Ran said: "Having said that, Senior Brother Lu is the helmsman of Chaotian Palace after all. If you want the horses to run, you have to give them grass. If you want the clan monks not to cause trouble or even contribute to Senior Brother Lu, you still have to give them to them."  Some sweetness.¡±

    Lu Xixing waved his hand: "It doesn't matter, Zhiran, don't be embarrassed"

    "Let's do this. If there are monks in the clan who have really made great contributions, their title and salary can be restored. The greater the merit, the higher the title, and the descendants will also be demoted to the title. This is specially for the Taoist sect and the Ming Dynasty.  Designed for the most powerful clan monks, leaving a gap to make it easier for Senior Brother Lu to control them. One can be selected every year to be knighted, but it is not necessarily awarded. The key lies in merit, and we will discuss it together at that time. "

    Lu Xixing said happily: "Of course it's the best. I, Chaotian Palace, will strictly control the situation and will never make false reports or make false claims."

    After saying this, Zhao Ran saw that Lu Xixing was suddenly hesitant, so he asked, "Senior Brother Lu, is there anything else?"

    Lu Xi  A pen of silver, senior brother, I shamelessly come to ask Zhiran for help."

    Zhao Ran smiled: "I don't think it's anything. Didn't I tell you, Senior Brother Lu, earlier? If you have any difficulties, come to me."

    Lu Xi  Xiaoge gave me a sum of five thousand taels, but there is still a lot left."

    "How much difference?"

    Lu Xixing handed over a list, listing more than 500 talismans of more than ten kinds, which roughly estimated to be worth more than 8,000 taels of silver.

    Zhao Ran thought about it for a moment and said: "How about I give you two copies of the same talisman, and my group of students from the construction monk training class can also participate in your actual combat drill, okay? Everything will follow your command."

    There are a large number of talismans confiscated from the Upper Three Palaces in the secret treasury of Jiming Temple. Taking out thousands of them is not worth mentioning to Zhao Ran, but it can improve the cooperation awareness of the students in the construction monk training class.  ,Why not do it?

    Lu Xixing immediately said happily: "Of course you are welcome! The drill is scheduled for the fifth day of March. I want to hold it for three days. Then let Du Yangchen take your students and we will conduct a confrontation drill."

    Zhao Ran said: "Okay, don't forget to submit a request for payment so that I can pay the bill."

    "Of course!"

    Because of Wang Zongyi¡¯s request, Lu Xixing stopped talking to Zhao Ran and sent Lu Xixing out of Cock Cing Temple.

    Although Wang Zongyi is only the minister of the Ministry of Works in name only, he is now a popular figure in front of Zhao Ran, and his voice in the Ministry of Works is getting more and more important. Especially after Zhao Ran prepares to build the bridge, he is basically the one who communicates with the Ministry of Works.

    "Abbott, the Camping and Maintenance Department of the Ministry of Industry has brought the drawings."

    Zhao Ran asked them to sit down in front of Jingyang Tower: "Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Wang. Who are these two?"

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????Out of the way, an official of the fifth rank in green robes prostrated himself: "I'm going to go down to the office of Zheng Xujia, a doctor in the camp and repair department of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, to kowtow to the abbot."

    Behind him, an eighth-grade green-robed official also prostrated himself: "Lu Zhongqing, the master craftsman of the Restoration Department of Xiagoanying, came to see the abbot."

    Zhao Ran waved his robe sleeves lightly and lifted the two of them up: "Mr. Zheng, Mr. Lu, please get up and sit down."

    Doctor Zheng sat next to Wang Zongyi with his lotus tilted, but Master Lu did not dare to sit down and stood behind the two of them.

    Doctor Zheng took out two scrolls, opened one first, and spread it out on the stone table, with a slight embarrassment on his face: "According to the abbot's instructions, the Camping and Restoration Department has made two kinds of sketches in the past few months, and asked the abbot to review them. This is  One."

    The picture shows a long bridge. The biggest feature of this bridge is that there are many piers. They are all densely packed. I can count them all, but they stand in the middle of the river.There are nearly fifty bridge piers, with an average of one pier every ten feet.  Each bridge pier is only about two feet above the river.

    Between every two piers, there is a stone arch bridge body, one hole after another. The more than 40 hole stone arch bridge body is more than 40 waves.  With such a bridge span, it is obvious that it cannot pass large ships, even ships with more than 100 materials.

    In the middle of the bridge, there are two ultra-high piers that are far higher than their peers, thirty feet apart.  A suspension bridge is tied to the top of each of the two bridge piers with iron chains, shaped like a city gate suspension bridge.

    Zheng Langzhong explained that this design is to be able to pass large ships. When it is necessary to cross the ship, the suspension bridge is pulled up; when passing people, the two suspension bridges are lowered and interlocked with each other through the wooden tenon structure at the front end. At the same time, with the help of the suspension rope  The force pulls the wooden bridge.

    Zhao Ran frowned and said, "So many bridge piers are needed? Can't the span of the arch bridge be any larger?"

    Zheng Langzhong said: "The Anji Bridge that the abbot mentioned has the largest span, which is only about twelve feet. If it is longer, I really don't know how to build it."

    Zhao Ran sighed and thought that was indeed the case. It seemed that it would be difficult to take the low-material and environmentally friendly route of stone arch bridge.  Unless the Great Sage Nanyan Palace can refine the entire bridge body into a magic weapon, the cost is so high that Zhao Ran cannot afford it.

    ¡°I have to admit that the Ministry of Industry still has a lot of skills. It is already amazing to be able to come up with a plan for a suspension bridge to pass large ships.  This solution is also the easiest to implement from a technical perspective.  But it also has two headaches for Zhao Ran.

    First, the cost is too high.  Even though each bridge pier is much shorter, it is too dense and the cost must be staggering. The cost is probably at least one million taels of silver.

    In addition to the cost, there is also a big problem, the navigation channel will be greatly restricted.  The river near Yingtian is the busiest waterway in the Ming Dynasty. The number of ships with more than 100 ships in navigation every day is hundreds, and sometimes it can reach thousands.  The use of suspension bridges to limit traffic has a huge impact, is extremely difficult to dispatch, and the bridge's utilization value is not high.

    In addition, Zhao Ran thinks it is ugly and unspectacular, and its confidence-boosting effect is definitely not as impressive as that of long-span high bridge piers.

    After putting this one away, Doctor Zheng spread out another scroll.

    Nineteen bridge piers are arranged on the river. The distance between the piers is thirty feet. The beams between the piers are made of fine steel. The tension problem is solved by cables from the top of the piers.  Then it is paved with green bricks and asphalt.

    This is the cable-stayed bridge that Zhao Ran envisioned. The difficulty lies in refining the magical iron cables. The cost and difficulty are equally staggering.  But the benefits are also obvious: spectacular, convenient, practical, and conducive to a large-scale explosion of credibility.
