Be the Mayor From Today

Chapter 0527 The shock brought by the pontoon.

"Ta Tata..."

Niu Da came in a hurry. When he saw the young master's serious face, his heart skipped a beat. He thought that there was something wrong?

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

"Well." Liu Feng stared at Niu Da with his black eyes, and asked in a deep voice, "It has snowed in the past few years, has there been a flood in Xiyang City?"

"Ah?" Niu Da was stunned, frowned and thought, 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 major flood, and then the losses to Xiyang City would be too great.

"It's the same, it's not much different from previous years." Niu Da answered 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 was the case, the chance of a major flood in Xiyang City would be reduced by more than half.

"But..." Niu Da heard the flood, as if thinking of something, and said quickly, "Master, there is no major flood in Xiyang City, but some places far away from us were flooded last year. a lot of people."

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

"It's true, a businessman told me." Niu Da nodded affirmatively, he was impressed by this matter.

I heard from the businessman that hundreds of cities were submerged in water, and many people died, many nobles also died, and cities were swept away by the water.

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

"It's probably summer." Niu Da answered honestly.

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

"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 You Shuihe, and sighed in his heart.

He has a guess, that is the lower part of the Youshui River. The water from melting snow flows into the Youshui River from all over the place, so that the water in the lower part of the Youshui River cannot be drained away in time. In the low places, it is really a catastrophe.

"Master, it's time to cut the ribbon." Niu Xiao reminded in a loud voice.

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

The pontoon is more than 100 meters long and a dozen meters wide. The shores on both sides are all supported by large 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 is connected to twelve large iron chains, and it took a lot of effort to get these large iron chains, all of which were manually hammered out.

Below is the use of boats as bridge piers, which is a boat-like structure similar to a large wooden box. In addition to twelve large iron chains, the main support is thirty-six hemp ropes as thick as arms, and then covered with wooden boards as the bridge deck.

Such a pontoon is certainly very simple to place on the earth, but it is practical. Liu Feng is very willing to pay for the infrastructure construction. After all, something real is better than putting gold coins in a warehouse and breaking a mouse's teeth. .

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

"This, this is the bridge? It's incredible, isn't it?"

"Oh my God, building a bridge over the Youshui River, am I dazzled? How is this possible?"

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

"..."

Liu Feng walked to the entrance of the pontoon bridge, where a red linen was already tied, and a maid was standing next to her, holding a tray with scissors in her hands.

"Cough cough..."

Liu Feng coughed softly and glanced at the people who were talking about it. After everyone was quiet, 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. He wanted to end the pontoon as soon as possible. He was still worried about the flood.

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

After Liu Feng finished speaking, he turned around and stepped on the pontoon first, and walked towards the middle of the pontoon. Walking up, the pontoon felt a little wobbly. Mina, Anli, Xin Ke, Niu Da and others immediately stepped onto the pontoon.

Crowds 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 those who wanted to enter behind.

"Everyone, the first group is 100 people on the bridge, the others please wait a moment." The soldier shouted loudly.

"Damn, one step late." Tori stomped and shouted. He went out a little late today, so he could only wait helplessly.

He is convinced now that Lord Liu Feng is convinced that the bridge over the Youshui River has really been completed. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed it.

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

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

"Miracle." Jones said solemnly, with her mind, she had to say admiration. A bridge is built on the Youshui River, and it is said that in all likelihood, people will laugh at it for being overly ambitious, daydreaming, or being called a fool.

"I suddenly believe what Darlene and Catherine said." Princess Lucy said quietly, even building a bridge over the Youshui River. Such a person is proud and will not do anything that would be degrading.

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

"No, I still want to see Eliza. It would be too rude to make such a sudden visit." Princess Lucy said with a big smile.

Chapter 0528 The Great Granary Project.

"Ta Tata..."

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 river water washed the pontoon bridge into an arc.

"Niu Da, send someone to set up a sentry on the shore and prohibit boats from approaching the pontoon bridge." Liu Feng said solemnly, the pontoon bridge could not withstand the impact of the boat.

"Yes." Niu Da respectfully responded.

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

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

"Tap..."

Liu Feng took a step and walked across the Youshui River. He wanted to see the wasteland of the Big Granary Project. The future rations of Xiyang City will depend entirely on this big granary plan.

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

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

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

The 100,000 mu of land is the first step in his plan for a large granary. As long as there is 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 season.

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