Guo Xiaoke and his people watched the construction site day by day.
At the beginning, they couldn't understand anything.
As time went by, they gradually saw some tricks.
Like the arched bracket under the bridge deck, an arched structure was originally built at both ends of the cliff, and then they were held together by ropes.
The length and width of each of these two arc-shaped iron frames, how many fine iron bars should be used, what length and thickness geometry of these fine iron bars are all accurately calculated.
In the past few days, they are building scaffolding to lay the bridge deck.
The bridge deck also needs to use fine iron bars.
The placement and density of the bridge are very particular.
Guo Xiaoke also asked Hengzhi and others about the doorway here.
They said that it first depends on the hardness and softness of the fine iron bars used, as well as the bridge's self-weight and load-bearing requirements, etc.
They discussed this before construction.
To make a more precise calculation, these things are difficult to copy, and the calculated results will be different under different conditions.
Guo Xiaoke knew that what they said was the truth.
None of his subordinates could learn arithmetic to this extent.
He should have brought a few arithmetic students from Chang'an City if he had known.
I remember that when Luo Yong was still working as a teaching assistant in Chang'an City, Guo Xiaoke was also in Chang'an City.
That boy Luo Yong was really good at twisting and turning, and he was very clever in setting questions.
Many people in Chang'an City talked about it.
Guo Xiaoke felt that at the time Although the topic was indeed interesting, it was still fancy and useless.
Now that he thought about it, it was because of his own limited knowledge.
It was nothing out of the ordinary in the Gobi Desert, but Guo Xiaoke and his soldiers stayed here.
It was like a door to a new world had been opened.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have imagined it.
Bridges can still be built this way.
Not long after, Tang Jian came with the teachers and students from Changle Academy.
The students at Changle Academy have relatively good mathematical skills.
After a day or two of getting familiar with each other, they quickly caught up with the rhythm and became able to speak and help.
I will give them some fine iron next time.
With cement, maybe they could build a bridge themselves, which made Guo Xiaoke very envious.
Guo Xiaoke also wanted to send a few of his men to Changle Academy to learn arithmetic, but Tang Jian had to give his nod for this.
Don't look at him.
Guo Xiaoke is now the boss of Hexi.
What kind of person is this Tang Jian?
He is talented and courageous from a good background.
His experience in this life may not be as exciting as those generals, but he is also known to be a tough guy. , as for the incident where he almost lost his head while playing chess with the emperor, no one in Chang'an city knew that if Yu Chigong hadn't helped him carry it out that time, Tang Jian would have been gone in this world for a long time.
Facing such a number one person, Guo Xiaoke would not be stupid enough to pretend to be a boss in front of him.
Although there was indeed some unpleasantness caused by the sweet potato incident before, those were minor matters.
Now we should get along well with each other. get along.
When these two people were drinking and chatting on the Gobi Desert, they were filled with emotion.
Thinking about how heroic they were back then, how many years have passed and now they are both at this age.
Dean Tang and Duhu Guo were drinking and chatting in the desert.
Luo Yong didn't go this time.
He had to stay in Changle County to look after his family.
Now is the season when Hu businessmen have frequent exchanges, and there are so many Kunlun people living in Changle County.
If something happens, Luo Yong will not be able to explain to Apu at that time.

Qiao Junlin didn't go with Tang Jian and the others this time.
There was no one at the academy and there were no classes.
So these days he always practiced martial arts with the county officers, leaving early and coming back late every day.
That night, Qiao Junlin came back from outside and saw Luo Yong sitting in the county government courtyard roasting corn with everyone, so he also picked a seat and sat down.
This year's tender corn has been on the market for a while.
Earlier, when the corn in each household had not yet grown, some people who were good at farming would bring corn cobs to the city to sell.
At the most expensive time, a corn cob could be sold for two cents, but within a few days, it soon dropped to one cent.
One cent a piece was sold for a while, and then it dropped to two cents, and now it is now.
Now, one penny can buy three or four.
For example, when people from the Changle County government go out to buy corn cobs, they buy them by the load.
At night, these people light up braziers and every household roasts corn in the yard.
Some of these corn cobs are smeared with maltose water, some are smeared with chili sauce, and some are just dipped in salt or sprinkled with some spice powder.
In any case, they are corn cobs bought with public money.
These people Just change the way you eat day by day.
"It's only been a few days.
In a few days, the corn will be old and won't taste good when roasted."
Everyone has accumulated experience in eating roasted corn on the cob in the past few years.
In the past two years, the price of corn was relatively expensive here in Changle County, and there was no food like this in their county government.
In the past two years, more people have grown corn, and the price has also come down.
Now the dried corn kernels The price is even cheaper than corn.
"After this year's autumn harvest, the price of corn will probably be even lower." said a middle-aged clerk who was roasting corn next to Luo Yong.
"It would be better if it was lower.
I'm not saying that.
The price of food here is too high.
It's higher than Chang'an City."
A woman from Zhongyuan said on the other side of the yard.
"But the price of meat here is low."
So these people talked about the price of food and meat.
"The price of meat is indeed low.
I exchanged some beef jerky with the barbarians from the grassland two days ago.
It was only a pound or two of corn, but I got a lot of it."
"You can't eat beef in Chang'an City."
"Whoever dares to kill a cow may be arrested by the government."
"I heard that there are also those who kill them secretly."
"That's true, but the price is very expensive, and ordinary people can't afford it." "" "There have been more herdsmen entering the city recently."
"Last year, many people sold sheep here and got good prices.
After the news spread, many herdsmen came here."
"It's not autumn yet, isn't it a little early?"
"Who knows."
"Not necessarily all of them come to sell sheep, there are also some who come specifically to exchange for food."
"I didn't see them entering the city earlier."
"It happened earlier, but few came.
Last year, the imperial court established the Anxi Protector in our area, and also ordered Guo Xiaoke to sit in Gaochang.
The Turks did not dare to invade.
Originally, they left from our area and passed the Great Wall to the outside of the customs.

After exiting the customs The security check is very strict, people inside don’t dare to go out, and people outside don’t dare to come in.”
"In fact, even if we include the Great Wall from here, it is also the boundary of Yizhou, so those herdsmen herding sheep outside the pass are also Tang people.
Since they are Tang people, why can't they come to our side."
"I heard that entering and exiting the border is not as difficult as it used to be."
"Isn't there an Anxi Protector's Mansion outside?
Even if those Turks want to fight, they must attack Gaochang first and take over the Anxi Protector's Mansion.
We won't be able to turn for a while, so this incident Those who are locked up are no longer as tight as before.”
"Besides, in the past, the herdsmen on the grasslands were also afraid of entering the customs, fearing that they would be caught and worked as slaves.
In the past two years, more people have entered the customs, and there are also many herdsmen working in our Changle County.
Those outside Seeing that people like them are living well there, I won’t be afraid.”
"It's much more cost-effective for them to go to the city to exchange for some grain and salt than to trade with those traders on the grassland." "" Luo Yong also noticed that there have been more and more outsiders walking in the county recently.
In addition, it is the season when Hu businessmen have more frequent exchanges.
At this time, special attention needs to be paid to public security issues.
The first is to be on guard against some bandit organizations taking the opportunity to sneak into the city to commit crimes.
The second is to prevent friction between the people in the city and the outsiders due to language barriers, cultural differences and other reasons.
To be honest, there will definitely be some friction.
What they have to do is not to Let things expand and pay attention to them in a timely manner.
Luo Yong discussed this issue with Qiao Junlin, and Qiao Junlin told him that Guo Fenglai had made arrangements.
In addition to daily patrols and gate guards in the city, he also arranged a team of personnel to patrol some villages outside.
In the past two years, farmers around Changle County have probably made some money by planting white folded flowers.
In addition, they go to the city to work during the off-farm season, and they also sharpen needles at home on weekdays.
As time goes by, there are many Everyone started to have savings.
I heard that many people in Dunhuang, Jinchang and other places are spreading rumors that the people in Changle County are rich, and even the farmers outside the city are very wealthy.
There are so many such rumors, and I am afraid that some thieves will be concerned about them, but Xiao Xiao is not afraid.
After all, the folk customs here are relatively strong, and the farmers are not vegetarians.
What they are afraid of are the groups of thieves.
But no matter what, having more people is a good thing.
After all, population is productivity.
Their population in Changle County is too small.
While gnawing roasted corn, Magistrate Luo County told the officials in the yard that when they walked in the city during this period, they should pay attention to guiding them to the atmosphere in Changle County, and they must make those outsiders feel They are very popular in Changle County and must not be exclusive.
The officials also agreed well.
As a result, Luo Yong had just warned him the day before, but something happened in the evening of the next day.
It wasn't a big deal, it was just a fight between a Kunlun man and a Changle man, and it was over some trivial matter.
The man from Changle who was fighting this time was famous for his finesse.
This was relatively rare in Changle County where the folk customs were tough and everyone had a bit of a temperament, but this man was very meticulous, to the point of being stingy.
Nowadays, children from every household in the city are eating roasted corn.
The only difference is that children from rich families eat more and more refined foods, while children from poor families eat coarser and less foods.
There were two children in this family.
He went out to buy three or four corn cobs with a penny, but when he came home, he was only willing to give half to each of the two children in the family, and he would eat the rest tomorrow and the day after.
A piece of maltose needs to be melted into half a bowl of water.
One corn today and one corn tomorrow, it will take several days.
Many people in the city laugh at him, and he is used to it.
Someone made fun of him again two days ago.
The Kunlun man who fought with him today was also there.
This Kunlun man is also stupid.

When others laugh, he laughs too.
He laughs so hard.
Yes, laughing unbridled.
This stingy guy can't stand it anymore.
He just wants to be laughed at by others, but even the Kunlun people want to laugh at him.
This nigger doesn't even have a yard in the city, and he doesn't go to the workshop to work every day.
He just grinds those needles at night.
What's so great about him?
He actually dares to laugh at himself.
Then this evening, the Kunlun man received the wages for grinding needles and bought maltose for his children to eat.
The stingy children became greedy after seeing it.
Teach this Kunlun man a few words: "You spend all your time sharpening a few needles this day and don't make much money.
Why don't you think about saving some?
You just use them to buy candies."
The Kunlun man didn't even notice that something was wrong at first, and even laughed with him.
However, the words he said later became more and more unpleasant, and he became a little angry.
He spoke not very fluent Chinese and started to quarrel with him.
After arguing, the two of them started fighting.
If these two people can fight evenly, then that's it.
But this stingy one is stepping on the machine in the needle workshop.
He is tall and strong, and he is very strong.
Although this Kunlun man is from a tribe, he is still an individual.
Weak.
I used to be a sluggish person when I went hunting with others.
After a few punches, I got a black nose and a swollen face.
When Luo Yong rushed to the scene, a group of Kunlun people, a group of Changle people, and a group of servants were making a fuss.
The most noisy group was the Kunlun people, who felt that their own people were being bullied.
Luo Yong squeezed in there and listened to these people talking to each other for a long time.
When he saw this posture earlier, he thought something big had happened.
Anyway, it was just for this little shit.
However, this matter still needs to be handled properly, and it cannot give the impression that locals bully outsiders, otherwise it will have a bad impact. .
"I know you must be feeling aggrieved right now, but there is a problem you don't seem to notice."
Luo Yong patted the shoulder of the angry Kunlun man and said to him.
"What?"
the Kunlun man asked.
"What would you usually do if you encountered a powerful enemy outside your tribe?"
Luo Yong asked him.
"Go back to the tribe to find someone."
The Kunlun man replied.
"What if there is a conflict with people in the tribe?"
Luo Yong asked him again.
"Fight."
Is there any need to say that?
"So you see."
Magistrate Luo said at this time: "Actually, you have regarded Changle County as your own tribe.

When you had a dispute with the Changle people, you did not treat him as an enemy, right?"
"" The Kunlun man thought for a while, and it seemed to be the case.
Besides, there were so many policemen in Changle County.
Even if the opponent was so much stronger than him, he had nothing to fear.
The policemen would definitely not watch him being beaten to death. .
"It's normal for neighbors to have conflicts."
Magistrate Luo nodded, expressing his understanding of what happened today.
Then he looked at the injuries on the Kunlun man's face, turned to the stingy man and said, "You are too harsh.
Remember to ask a doctor to look at him tomorrow.
You will pay for the medical expenses."
"Here."
Nasty Men also knew that he was in trouble this time, so he didn't dare to say anything.
He just felt very sorry for money.
If he had known that he would have acted more gently just now.
"Shan, if you have nothing else to say, just follow me to the county government office."
Magistrate Luo said.
"Ah" everyone was a little dumbfounded.
Didn't they just say that it is normal for neighbors to have conflicts?
What is it that they have to go to the county government to do?
This is such a big deal.
In their opinion, today's matter is not very serious.
"Go and stay in the county jail for one night to clear your head," Magistrate Luo said.
There is no rule without rules.
Anyone who dares to fight will be imprisoned.
This rule cannot be broken, regardless of whether they are Han, Hu or Kunlun people. gd1806102:
