The next morning, after eating the breakfast prepared by Song Ling'er.
Liu Feng then went to the drill ground and distributed the binoculars to them.
At this moment, Tian Laoba, looking travel-worn, also arrived.
Because the wooden planks on the other side of the bridge had already been completely laid, Tian Laoba came over so that Liu Feng could go and check if they were up to standard.
Princess Linglong originally wanted to come along, but Liu Feng refused her outright.
Moreover, Liu Feng no longer tolerated them this time, and directly dispatched a hundred Tiger Roar soldiers to escort the two of them, mistress and servant, to Tianyong City in a grand manner.
As for their guards, Shanmie, they naturally stayed in the village to continue their training.
The current situation is unusual, and Liu Feng cannot predict exactly when the war will break out.
But is a war really inevitable? That's unavoidable.
Therefore, the fact that these two people stayed in Zhengde County was already a problem. If something were to happen, Liu Feng would be in no position to bear the consequences.
Commander Liu Feng followed Tian Laoba up the mountain, and looking up, a brand-new iron chain bridge appeared before his eyes.
They have the ability to walk together across the vast chasm.
Moreover, it shortened the distance between the two mountains to less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.
Walking on the bridge gives you the feeling of standing in the sky.
Standing on the bridge, just one glance down is enough to evoke a sense of boundless pride and exhilaration, as if surveying all the mountains below.
Especially Tian Laoba, who stood on the bridge and uttered what was probably the biggest sigh of his life.
"General, following you, I also conquered this mountain."
At this moment, a light shone in Tian Laoba's eyes.
The way they looked at Liu Feng was now the same way the other members of Liu Lang's tribe looked at him.
It was an incredibly fervent form of worship and awe.
“General, I have lived in the village for more than forty years. For so many years, I have lived on that little bit of land. When there is no land and no food, I ask these mountains for food.”
“In the past, people wouldn’t even dare to approach such a canyon, let alone cross it.”
"For so many years, no one has ever thought of, nor has anyone dared to think of, building a bridge on such a mountain."
Feeling the gentle breeze coming from the mountains, Liu Feng reached out and grasped the slightly trembling iron chain.
The feeling of being grounded on the clouds stirred his emotions.
This was the first time since he came into this world that he truly changed something and left something useful for future generations.
At least that's what Liu Feng himself believes; this thing will be useful to future generations.
These participants will also pass on the construction methods.
At this moment, Tian Laoba spoke again.
"General, you don't know, we got up very early this morning."
"Secure the last few planks in place."
"Then the brothers went on the trip together. They didn't pay attention while working, but when they actually went through it, their legs almost went weak."
"It's better now, there's not so much fog anymore. In the morning, it felt exactly like walking in the sky."
"After we finished, no one could believe that someone could create something so amazing."
Liu Feng laughed heartily after hearing this.
These words sounded somewhat exaggerated to Liu Feng.
However, for people in ancient times, such a scene was something they had never seen before and could not even imagine, which is understandable.
"You will see many more shocking things in the future."
"Keep an eye on the capable and willing learners among this group."
"There are two more bridges to build, and we'll need them to build them. We'll bring these skilled workers with us then."
"Don't worry, General."
Tian Laoba agreed with a smile.
The bridge was now completely finished, and Liu Feng told everyone to pack up their things and go home to rest.
It will take Zhang Tiechui a few more days to produce the iron cables for the second bridge.
As for the proposed camp built at the bridgehead, it has not been dismantled, and these facilities will still be needed in a few days.
Everyone should go back and rest for now. Tomorrow, let Tian Laoba lead everyone up the mountain again. After all, although the iron chains haven't come out yet, it won't affect the preparation of the planks for the other two bridges.
Moreover, road construction is not as simple as just building a suspension bridge. The suspension bridge connects two mountains, but the roads on the two mountains themselves still need to be dug out with hoes.
Liu Feng entrusted all these tasks to Tian Laoba.
They are currently clearing mountains and building roads.
Once the roads are completed, wooden railings will be added to these roads that were painstakingly carved out of the mountains to increase safety.
This is the detailed plan that Liu Feng arranged for Tian Laoba.
He won't have time to deal with these things for a while.
So everything was handed over to Tian Laoba.
After returning to the village, Liu Feng took the opportunity to check on the defensive equipment and city wall construction of Zhengde County's commercial street.
Because of the large amount of labor available earlier, the construction of the city walls had already begun long ago.
However, building city walls with bricks was too extravagant, and Liu Feng couldn't do that yet, so the walls were all made of earth. Fortunately, they were thick enough, and the construction speed was not slow.
With so many people working, plus the army working in shifts, the progress was very fast, with several hundred meters being built every day.
This is just the beginning. Once these people become fully proficient and can coordinate better, their speed will be even faster.
These laborers lived in simple conditions, but their lives were not bad, and Liu Feng paid them a considerable amount of money every day.
Faced with such high wages, these laborers from other places were willing to risk their lives to work.
Although these laborers came to earn money, and they did not spend lavishly on the commercial street after receiving their wages each day, the reputation of Zhengde County's commercial street spread to the outside world along with these laborers.
This is also a process of dissemination. With their dissemination, it won't be long before people in the surrounding area choose to come to Zhengde County Commercial Street to sell household daily necessities.
After inspecting the completion of the city wall construction, Liu Feng went to the outer moat that had been dug.
City walls were a way to defend against large-scale military attacks and played an important role in resisting major attacks, but the role of trenches should not be overlooked.
With trenches in place, enemy cavalry could only stop at the trenches, while infantry needed to use ladders and other tools to cross them.
This greatly slowed the enemy's advance, giving the defenders a significant amount of time to react.
It is springtime now, and with the melting of ice and snow, the rivers have a larger flow rate than in winter.
However, Liu Feng had no intention of diverting water into the trench.
It's not time to drink water yet.
His plan was to wait until the rainy season, when the river would swell, then choose a spot to divert the water through a trench, and finally drain it out, creating a more permanent fortification.
